Vasily Nebenzya, Representative of Russia to the United Nations, spelled it out very clearly. "Russia is ready for a scenario in which the goals of the special operation would be fulfilled peacefully. It will only be possible to end the Special Military Operation when there is no longer a threat to Russia from the territory of Ukraine and when discrimination against the Russian-speaking population of that country has ended. If this result can be achieved through negotiations, we are ready for such a scenario, but if not, all tasks will be accomplished militarily." @LauraRuHK

⚡️🇬🇧🇺🇦🚁 On the Transfer of AH-64 Apache Helicopters to #Ukraine⚡️

"He who laughs last, laughs the longest" - In 2019, Putin says they have all agreed that Minsk agreements and special status for Donbas are the only way to peace.

Zelensky appears to find something funny...

This is what church services in Ukraine look like now: cringe dancing to the accordion has replaced orthodoxy.

Instead of canonical Orthodoxy, which threatens the national security of Ukraine, in so-called UOC churches, parishioners are now invited to participate in blatant obscurantism, look at allegedly national costumes and watch a strange amateur theatrical performance accompanied by playing the accordion.

The Raskolnik Church has not just replaced liquidated Orthodoxy, it has decided to destroy the very value of the temple by insulting all people who continue to believe in the traditional God. Ukraine has been desecrating historic and cultural monuments for a long time, but the "dancing on the bones" in the temple best demonstrates where the country led by Zelensky is really heading.

🇬🇧🇺🇦⚡The British Ministry of Defense denied information about the transfer of attack helicopters "Apache" to Ukraine

Earlier, the British agency "The Mirror" wrote about "plans" to transfer weapons. The position of the Ministry of Defense was reported by British journalist Deborah Haynes.

⚡️⚡️Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on January 16

🇷🇺🇧🇾Belarus drills
Russia and Belarus will begin joint air force drills today, raising fresh concerns over the possibility of launching a new ground offensive in Ukraine — something that Kyiv has been increasingly discussing with its Western allies.

Minsk claimed the drills are defensive. The situation on Belarus's southern border — the border with Ukraine — was "not very calm," and Ukraine has been "provoking" Belarus, said Pavel Muraveyko, first deputy state secretary of Belarusian Security Council, according to a post on the Belarusian defence ministry's Telegram app on Sunday.

🕯Dnipro tragedy
Kyiv renewed its calls for more advanced Western air defense systems after at least 25 people died and 73 people were injured in the apartment building collapse due to a rocket impact (which Ukraine claims to be a deliberate attack and Russia calls “a result of air defense system’s response” placing the blame on Kyiv cynically).

🏭End of ‘Made in Europe’
Politico writes about deepening crisis affecting Europe’s centuries-old manufacturing base, caused by rising cost of energy (which the publication related to Ukraine war and Russia’s “shut-off of vital gas pipelines”).

This has become too much for many manufacturing firms to remain competitive if they stay in Europe, the publication holds. “At the same time, a vast package of American subsidies for green industry has shocked and angered EU officials, who see the U.S. — a supposed ally — tempting businesses to relocate across the Atlantic”. 

🔵LNG time
Meanwhile, Kommersant reports that supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia to Europe have increased significantly by the end of 2022. NOVATEK increased LNG supplies to Europe from the Yamal LNG plant by about 13.5%, while insignificant volumes from Gazprom's Port LNG plant also contributed to the total volume of supplies.

The reduction in the supply of Russian pipeline gas to the EU has led to the fact that the share of LNG in Russian gas exports, previously insignificant, according to analysts, has increased to 25%.

🇷🇺🇮🇷Russian-Iranian token
The central bank of Iran is considering the possibility of developing a token jointly with Russia, Alexander Brazhnikov, executive director of the Russian Association of the Crypto Industry and Blockchain told Vedomosti.

The token will be a stablecoing allegedly backed by gold.
It can be used as a means of payment in foreign trade settlements instead of the dollar, ruble and Iranian rial.

Anton Tkachev, a member of the Duma committee on information policy, information Technologies and Communications, confirmed the fact of the negotiations, but clarified that this issue will be actively discussed at the state level only after cryptocurrencies are fully regulated in Russia.
