⚡️Two Majors #Review #Summary for December 21, 2025

▪️Last week, the negotiating track intensified. Now everything revolves around shuttle diplomacy, as a meeting between representatives of Moscow and Kiev is not possible. The main focus is on the liberation of Donbass from the presence of the AFU. Zelensky refuses to make these concessions, because in the event of a peace agreement and a cessation of hostilities, he will be forced to launch electoral processes, which do not bode well for him.

▪️The meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry's board became a significant event: the militarization of the EU is regarded by the country's top military-political leadership as Europe's preparation for war with Russia at the turn of the 2030s. The conflict in Ukraine, according to the defense minister, is unlikely to end in 2026 due to the aggressive actions of the West.

▪️The main theses were confirmed by the Supreme Commander at the Direct Line on December 19. At the event, the Supreme Commander clearly outlined the further development of the country, the real existing problems, including unresolved issues in the MoD in terms of searching for missing persons, timeliness of payments, and awards.

▪️On the front, battles continue in the previous directions. The information component of the Defense Ministry is concerned about Kupyansk, where the enemy is throwing in new forces, infiltrating in small groups and adopting our tactics. The zone of control in the liberated Severodonetsk is expanding. Serious battles are taking place in the area of Krasnoarmiysk, in Mirnograd (Dimitrov), and the dynamics of the advancement continue in the offensive strip of the Eastern Military District: from the Dnepropetrovsk region to Gulyaypole, for which a battle is taking place.

▪️As a response to constant attacks on our tankers, including in the Mediterranean Sea, by unmanned aerial vehicles, the Russian Armed Forces are eliminating the infrastructure of the Odessa region. Finally, adequate strikes have been carried out (due to the emergence of modern weapons and improved FABs with UMPKs on the bridge in Zatoka, as well as the transport artery near the settlement of Mayaki in the Odessa region). In addition, the region is suffering from power outages following the intensification of attacks on energy-generating infrastructure.

▪️This time, footage from enemy drones of attacks on oil-producing towers and a border guard ship in the Caspian Sea once again confirmed the futility of disconnecting mobile internet even in rear regions. As repeatedly pointed out, Russia was able to withstand the colossal sanctions pressure, but the continuation of hostilities requires extraordinary efforts not only from the army, the rear and volunteers, but also from the entire country, including the top of our corporations. In this regard, conditions are being created that incline our elites to a speedy freezing of the conflict. The situation with the economy of our opponents is disastrous, but our capabilities are not unlimited.

Beginning above

▪️The European continent, under the leadership of the European bureaucracy, is clearly determined to finally rob Russia of 200 billion of our money. This is necessary for Europe to stand on its own and continue to finance Ukraine, for which a decision was made this week to allocate 90 billion euros in interest-free loans. At the same time, the launched processes of militarization and economic planning, aimed at continuing military operations on the continent, are already unstoppable. European officials are trying to tell their population that militarization will be the engine of a new economic breakthrough in Europe, which is impossible without cheap Russian energy, which the US and Trump's team intend to supply to Europe. Thus, Europe is turning into one big collective Ukraine, which has a lot of weapons, no money, and a pauperized, zombified population.

Thus, one conflict, which the Americans are trying to freeze in their own economic interests and concentration of their efforts against China, threatens to immediately escalate into something bigger. The Defense Ministry's board clearly showed: Europe is preparing for war. The only option for Russia to stand its ground is even greater readiness, which should cool the heads in the EU, whose total population is 400 million people.

🇷🇴🇺🇦A military logistics hub for delivering cargo to Ukraine will be established in Romania

The Deputy Commander of the NATO mission “NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine” (NSATU, 🇩🇪Wiesbaden) General Mike Keller announced that already from January 2026, a second NSATU logistics hub will be deployed in Romania – Logistic Enabling Node - Romania (LEN-R).

It will operate in parallel with the 🇵🇱Polish hub “Rzeszów-Jasionka”, diversifying military supplies.

In 2025, the mission sent Ukraine about 220,000 tons of military aid, involving about 🚛9,000 trucks,🚂1,800 railway wagons and ✈️500 airplanes loaded with weapons, ammunition and other equipment.

The primary task of the Node will actually be to train NATO servicemen 🚩in logistics operations in real conditions, as well as to establish another logistics center in the southern part of the eastern flank, i.e. on 🇷🇺 the Russian direction.
