🇨🇳 PLA launches large-scale ‘Just Mission-2025’ drills around Taiwan — reports
China’s People’s Liberation Army has begun large-scale exercises dubbed “Just Mission-2025” around Taiwan, involving ground forces, the navy, the air force, and rocket forces of the PLA’s Eastern Theater Command, according to a PLA report.
The drills are taking place in the Taiwan Strait as well as parts of the East China Sea, South China Sea, and the Philippine Sea. The exercises include practicing patrol operations, joint actions, and blocking key facilities.
The PLA said the drills are intended to test joint operations capabilities and serve as a warning to supporters of “Taiwan independence.”
Live-fire drills are scheduled for December 30, and ships have been advised to avoid entering the exercise areas, the report said.
On December 17, US State Department approved possible arms sales to Taiwan totaling about $11.1 billion.
⚠️ China has repeatedly stressed that Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and has consistently opposed US arms sales to the island, warning such actions violate the one-China principle and contribute to regional destabilization.

🚨 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.
