President Putin: By abandoning neutrality, Ukraine essentially violated the basis for its independence.

Footnote: According to Section IX of Ukraine’s 1990 Declaration of State Sovereignty, “the Ukrainian SSR solemnly declares its intention of becoming a permanently neutral state that does not participate in military blocs…”

💢 Dmitry Medvedev: "Why Ukraine (in any form) is dangerous for its inhabitants"

"The existence of Ukraine is mortally dangerous for Ukrainians. And I don’t mean only the current state, Bandera’s political regime. I'm talking about any, absolutely any Ukraine.

Why?
The presence of an independent state on historical Russian territories will now be a constant reason for the resumption of hostilities. Late. No matter who is at the helm of the cancerous growth under the name of Ukraine, this will not add legitimacy to his rule and the legal viability of the “country” itself. And, therefore, the likelihood of a new fight will persist indefinitely. Almost always. Moreover, there is a 100% probability of a new conflict, no matter what security papers the West signs with the puppet Kiev regime. Neither Ukraine’s association with the EU, nor even the entry of this artificial country into NATO will prevent it. This could happen in ten or fifty years.

That is why the existence of Ukraine is fatal for Ukrainians. They are practical people at the end of the day. No matter how they now wish the Russians to die. No matter how much they hate the Russian leadership. No matter how much they strive to join the mythical European Union and NATO. Choosing between eternal war and inevitable death and life, the vast majority of Ukrainians (well, perhaps with the exception of a minimal number of crazy nationalists) will ultimately choose life. They will understand that life in a large common state, which they do not like very much now, is better than death. Their deaths and the deaths of their loved ones. And the sooner Ukrainians realize this, the better"

Russia is going to denounce the agreement with Great Britain on fisheries, signed during the Soviet era in 1956, Izvestia reports . The Government of the Russian Federation will consider the issue of denunciation of this agreement during its meeting on January 18.

According to the document, which is proposed to be denounced, the USSR authorities allowed British fishing vessels to fish in certain areas of the Barents Sea along the coast of the Kola Peninsula. Ships were also allowed to sail and anchor freely in these waters. Since Russia became the legal successor of the USSR, the agreement continued to operate after the collapse of the Union. The need to denounce the document is dictated by the fact that on March 15, 2022, Britain terminated the most favored nation regime in bilateral trade, the government notes.

Russia hitting the UK in the Cod n Chips!

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Frozen Russian assets are not a panacea for Ukraine; there is no mechanism for their confiscation, - Reuters

▪️The West does not know how to give Kyiv $300 billion of frozen Kremlin money - there are no legal grounds;
▪️No decisions have been made regarding this money yet; there is no unity among the allies on this issue, while the decision must be common ;
▪️Even if we manage to find clear mechanisms, “the result is still far away”;
▪️Russian money is “not a panacea” for Ukraine.

Soldier sees video of himself for the first time. We don't get a name, but he is 46yo. He takes the opportunity (being filmed) to tell his wife he loves her.

More to the story, he went forward to make sure a younger soldier and his commander in the back dont get hit.
Total of 3 drones were destroyed/crashed. On the viral video we see number 2.
