🚨 🇮🇱 Houthis view Israel's presence in Somaliland as military target

💬 "We view any Israeli presence in the Somaliland region as a military target for our armed forces, as it constitutes aggression against Somalia and Yemen and a threat to the region's security," Houthis leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said, Al Masirah broadcaster reported.

On December 26, Israel officially recognized the self-proclaimed Republic of Somaliland, located in the northern Horn of Africa, as an independent state. Netanyahu and the president of the self-proclaimed republic, Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, signed a joint declaration of recognition. Israel became the first country in the world to recognize Somaliland. Somalian authorities categorically rejected "Israel's encroachment on sovereignty."

🚨 Ex-Commander-in Chief Zaluzhny may resign as Ukrainian envoy to UK

Valery Zaluzhny has informed Zelensky of his intention to return from London to Kiev in early January 2026, Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy wrote on his social media.

🔶 Zaluzhny and Zelensky discussed various jobs for the former, from prime minister to head of the president’s office, with Zaluzhny showing no interest in the matter at the time, according to Shariy

🔶 Zaluzhny also considered taking the post of Ukrainian ambassador to the US or returning to his capacity as Ukraine's commander-in chief, even though no decision has been made yet, Shariy added

Zelensky appointed Zaluzhny as Ukraine's ambassador to the UK in early May, about two months after dismissing him from his position as commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In early December, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office approved charges of genocide against Zaluzhny.

🚨🇪🇺 Ukraine joins NATO’s Article 5 war games for first time

🗣 Ukrainian forces from a joint NATO training center took part in the LOYAL DOLOS 2025 exercises, Ukraine’s General Staff said on social media.

👉 The drills practiced NATO Article 5 collective defense scenarios focusing on "testing alliance mechanisms" across Europe with 1,500 soldiers-turned-warmongers to "deter" imaginary Russian aggression.

NATO continues to expand its aggressive initiatives under the guise of "deterrence," while Russia has ZERO plans to attack Europe, as Putin has repeatedly stated. He underscored that Western elites are scaring their own people with bogus "Russian threats" to hide their domestic failures.
