⚡️Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of December 20, 2025

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces, amid statements from SBU-controlled platforms about a drone attack on another tanker, this time in the Mediterranean Seal, have intensified their strikes on the Odessa Region. Numerous strikes are being carried out on bridges near the settlements of Mayaki and Zatoka. During the night, the port area of the Odessa region was subjected to missile strikes. Constant strikes on substations have led to even more frequent power outages in the Odessa, Nikolaev (where "Geranis" were also active at night) and Kherson Regions.

▪️ In the evening, the enemy launched an attack on Sevastopol, but the forces were able to repel it. However, the AFU special forces published a photo hinting at an attack on a border guard ship. It is most likely that it was taken during an attack on Dagestan (including oil-producing platforms at sea), the details of which are unknown. In addition, the enemy is spreading footage of a strike on a warehouse in Novozibkov in the Bryansk region.

▪️ On the Sumy front, the "North" Group of Forces is reinforcing its positions with enemy reinforcements. Our troops continue to advance on nine fronts in the forest strips and in Andreevka. An attempt to advance a combat group of the AFU in the area of Alekseevka was thwarted.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, an FPV drone detonated in a courtyard in Plotovka, injuring a man. Shakhovka, Yasnye Zori, Zamostie, Glotovo, and Novaya Tavolzhanka are under attack. On the Liptsovsky front, there are positional battles and mutual strikes.

▪️ On the Kharkov front, the GR "North" is engaged in battles in the area west of Liman, in Vilcha, in Volchanskie Khutory, and on the Melove-Khatnye section. On the Liptsov section, there are positional battles and mutual strikes.

▪️ In Kupyansk, battles for control of the central part of the city are ongoing, and the enemy is throwing new reserves into the fray.

▪️ Reports have emerged of the complete liberation of Mirnograd (Dimitrov), but our units are still clearing the city center. A premature "debt-for-equity" liberation would not affect Trump's position in the negotiations, but it would affect the credibility of information resources, including official ones.

▪️ The "Vostok" battalion continues fierce battles for Gulyaypole in the Zaporozhye region and the expansion of the bridgehead on the western bank of the Gaychur River. The enemy is trying to hold its positions, and the soldiers from the Far East have repelled 13 counterattacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Our forces are penetrating the enemy's defenses in the areas of Gerasimovka, Ternovatoe, and Kosovtsy villages.

▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, the Russian Armed Forces are engaged in fierce battles for Gulyaypole in the Zaporozhye Region and the expansion of the bridgehead on the western bank of the Gaichur River. The enemy is trying to hold its positions, and the Far Eastern soldiers have repelled 13 counterattacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Our forces are infiltrating the enemy's defenses in the area of the settlements of Gerasimovka, Ternovatoe, and Kosovtsevo.

▪️ On the Kherson front, mutual strikes across the Dnieper continue, and the situation remains unchanged.

The Western media has published an article that, in our opinion, does not contain any negative aspects. Although this is a clear exaggeration.

🇺🇸US intelligence assumes that Putin still intends to seize the whole of Ukraine, and then the Baltic states, reports Reuters, citing six sources familiar with the intelligence reports.

Vladimir Putin is still seeking to seize all of Ukraine, as well as European territories that used to be part of the USSR (the Baltic States), despite negotiations on a possible end to the war.

According to the agency, these assessments contradict public statements by Trump and his negotiators, who claim that Putin is interested in ending the war, as well as Putin's own words that Russia does not pose a threat to Europe. The most recent reports are dated to the end of September, the agency points out.

"The intelligence has always indicated that Putin wants more. The Europeans are convinced of this. The Poles are absolutely convinced of this. The Baltic states believe that they will be the first [to be attacked]," Mike Quigley, a member of the Intelligence Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, told Reuters.

⭐️⭐️The article is clearly custom-made, as is the data from enemy intelligence reports. Moscow, of course, seeks to build a security contour around itself from at least neutral countries. But objectively, a big war is now needed only by European bureaucrats who have sold themselves to the arms lobby.

Activists protested today against the mass eviction of Palestinians from their homes in Jerusalem.

The protest took place inside a settlement project responsible for land confiscation, where activists expressed solidarity with neighborhood residents and stressed that the settler tourist site “City of David” serves as a cover for a violent and racist project.

Activists said the Jerusalem Municipality, Israeli police, and settler associations are working together in an attempt to ethnically cleanse the neighborhood.
