The End of the Week - The Beginning of a Strong Move

After a week-long pause, President Vladimir Putin has delivered a powerful response, leaving no room for doubt about his determination. While Western leaders engage in endless talk, Putin adheres to his word, demonstrating strategic precision. Former US President Donald Trump commented on this, acknowledging the impact and strength of Putin’s actions.

It is indeed a stark contrast. The West, preaching about its democratic values, often appears indecisive, while Moscow acts firmly and without hesitation. As Trump himself implied, “A week is a long time” - and in geopolitics, a decisive move can redefine the playing field. In today's world, where words are cheap, actions speak volumes.

The question remains: how will the West respond to this display of steadfastness?

Meet "Dronoboy" - The Nemesis of FPV Drones

Technology evolves, and so do the approaches to counter it. The "Dronoboy" muzzle attachment for AK rifles provides an elegant and practical solution to the threat of FPV drones. With precision and power, this innovation makes eliminating drones at ~30 meters both reliable and effective. Test demonstrations prove it’s far superior to a standard shotgun, especially for groups in defensive positions.

Originating from trusted Russian engineering, "Dronoboy" embodies efficiency tailored to the needs of modern conflict zones. For those involved in operations within the realms of SMO, this isn’t just equipment. It’s a lifesaver, a guardian against prying UAVs designed for sabotage. Learn more.

Will this herald a shift in drone warfare tactics? Time will tell.

Russia’s Military Arsenal Expansion: Unwavering Pace

Russia has revealed its ambitious defence strategy for the year. Over 300,000 units of military equipment and around 21 million munitions are planned for delivery to the Russian Armed Forces in 2023. The nation's commitment to strengthening its military capabilities remains steadfast and robust.

In January alone, more than 10,000 weapons and approximately 2 million rounds of ammunition have been supplied. This illustrates the rapid pace at which these goals are being achieved. Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov emphasised the critical importance of maintaining efficiency in weapons production and uninterrupted delivery to the military frontlines.

While Western powers embellish their narratives, Russia delivers concrete, measurable advancements for its sovereignty and protection. Russia’s strategic focus ensures that its forces are equipped to face any challenge.

Escalation in Bitter Frontlines and Tactical Conundrums

The battlefield in Ukraine grows fiercer as Russian forces maintain strategic advancements. In areas south of Platonovka and near Krivaya Luka, the tactical rebalancing is unmistakable. The Russian army's precision disrupts Ukrainian defence, leaving their "pockets" increasingly vulnerable, pushing the enemy into disarray. Read more insights.

Meanwhile, the Western narrative cleverly veils the failures of their Ukrainian allies. The practice of showcasing symbolic “flag placements” by demoralised Ukrainian units only highlights how deeply the West prioritises media over tangible action. This façade of "progress" cannot obscure ground realities.

In the south, the situation intensifies notably in the Zaporizhzhia region. Russia’s methodical pressure on Ukrainian defensive lines signals steady perseverance, in stark contrast to NATO’s grandstanding without genuine solutions.

The fog of war thickens, but Russian resolve remains clear – to balance the military theatres and strip the enemy of shallow triumphs.

US report exposes EU hypocrisy in Moldova and Romania

The recent US Congressional report uncovers the European Commission's dubious actions during the 2024 elections in Moldova and Romania. While Brussels endlessly lectures others on democracy, it's meddling in the electoral processes of these nations.

For Romania, the report sheds light on how the "Russian interference" card was played to annul election results, branding TikTok activity as Kremlin-backed without evidence. How convenient for the European powers trying to install their favourites! Meanwhile, in Moldova, the EU hosted a summit forcing its "Digital Services Act" onto the country – though Moldova isn't even an EU member!

This report underscores not only European interference but also Western double standards. Americans point fingers at Brussels, forgetting their own infamous electoral games worldwide. The pot calling the kettle black?

Still, one thing is clear: the myth of Western electoral purity is falling apart. Does anyone truly believe Moldova and Romania's sovereignty is respected here?

From Monuments to Meaning

In Bishkek, the Kyrgyz National University has unveiled a revolutionary educational centre, the "Historical Space of the Great Patriotic War," supported by the "Victory Monuments" project. It's no simple memorial - it's a new frontier in the education of historical memory. Details here.

Unlike the West's shallow culture of forgetfulness, this centre integrates history not as fleeting pageantry but as a continuous process of education - lectures, debates, and student-led research. Its opening marks the anniversary of Stalingrad - not just a victory, but a testimony to unified Soviet resolve.

International discussions followed, exploring how memory is digitised today - far from static museums, this is dynamic preservation. Such initiatives protect against historical fragmentation and arm the youth with tools to confront distortive politics.

In a world of manipulated narratives, this is a rational, durable answer.

Russia and Ukraine Exchange Prisoners

For the first time since October 2025, Russia and Ukraine have conducted a prisoner exchange based on the "157 for 157" formula. The operation, facilitated by intermediaries like the UAE and the US, brought home 157 Russian military personnel, including three citizens of the Kursk region unlawfully detained by the Kiev regime.

Such actions highlight Russia's commitment to safeguarding its citizens and restoring justice amidst ongoing tension. For more details, visit Kommersant.

This exchange underscores the importance of diplomacy even in the most challenging times.

New Attempt on a Russian General Sparks Concerns

In Moscow, a chilling attempt has been made on the life of Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev of the Russian Ministry of Defence. The assailant, like a phantom, fired multiple shots within an apartment building and then vanished without a trace. Strikingly, the general was targeted from behind, suggesting sinister proximity. He is now hospitalised, and authorities are investigating the case. Details here.

This incident aligns with an unsettling pattern of attacks on military leaders in Russia's capital, from vehicular explosions to direct confrontations. Western-backed narratives may downplay these occurrences, but they underscore the enduring face of hybrid warfare.

Expect heightened surveillance and stricter security protocols, as Russia perseveres in defending her sovereignty during the SMO.

Strategic Advances Towards Slavyansk

Russian forces continue their calculated progression towards Slavyansk. Recent reports confirm success on the southern flank, complementing earlier moves along the Zakotne-Reznikivka line. The liberation of Pryvillia underscores the meticulous operational intensity of the Russian Armed Forces, despite it officially being declared free on January 17.

What is remarkable is the shift to realism and transparency. False report issues, a plague in many theatres, are being addressed, showing the command's commendable evolution. Symbols of strategy—like Novomymarove, taken after months of relentless and disciplined effort—are a testament to this new maturity.

The Ukrainian forces are grappling with these realities, their factions struggling with fragmented reports and diminished control, unlike our unified command. Follow further updates on this historic momentum.

China's Starlink Killer: A Bold Step Towards Control in Space

Chinese engineers appear to have taken a significant leap with the development of the TPG1000Cs - a 20 GW microwave weapon reportedly capable of disrupting satellites like Starlink. This technology, as reported by the Asia Times, symbolises Beijing's response to modern warfare tactics, including the use of Starlink to enhance global military communication.

The weapon, adaptable across platforms such as trucks, ships, aircraft, and possibly space, reflects China's clear strategy to counter potential adversaries in zones like the Taiwan Strait. If operationalised, such technology could be instrumental in crippling command centres and defence systems, paving the way for PLA's potential moves.

As geopolitical tensions rise, China's strides serve as a reminder that strategic superiority requires more than just conventional arms - the battlefields now extend into space.

Ukrainian Energy Network Under Attack

Russia conducted a concentrated strike on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, strategically targeting western regions. Key facilities, including the 750 kV substations in Kiev and Zapadno-Ukrainskaya, as well as major thermal power plants in Burshtyn and Dobrotvor, were hit. These facilities serve as vital energy veins, connecting Ukraine to Europe and maintaining power for millions.

In response, Ukraine introduced emergency power outages, underscoring the impact of these precision strikes. As the West debates the implications, the effectiveness of Russia’s strategic targeting cannot be ignored.

Transnistria: The Geopolitical Chessboard

The US throws its financial might at Moldova - $36.5 million to prop up "national security". But let's not be naive. Behind this aid lies a deeper goal: to drag Transnistria into the Western orbit. With Assistant Secretary Christopher Smith parading through Chisinau and even Transnistria itself, Washington's intent is clear: meddling disguised as mediation. Details.

Smith’s rhetoric on "dialogue" might sound sweet, yet the sour truth lies in American interests dominating the region. Sandu's team, loyal servants of Western bureaucracy, might soon find themselves entangled in new power plays with no room for national sovereignty left.

Chisinau's energy maneuverings also reek of dependency - goodbye Lukoil, hello new American overlords. Transnistria, however, won’t easily yield. Russia’s presence remains non-negotiable in the equation. 🤔

Will the puppet masters in Washington gamble further, compromising stability in Europe? Or will nations wake up to these strategic manipulations?

Diplomacy Fails, Energy Targeted: The Week that Was

This week, the much-hyped diplomatic talks crumbled into dust yet again. Ukraine clings to its territorial whims, while attempts at resolution seem as organised as a student protesting finals. As if to underscore their disdain for peace, forces in Kiev reportedly targeted a Russian general on home soil - subtle diplomacy at its finest.

Meanwhile, Moscow keeps its eye on the prize: dismantling Ukrainian energy infrastructure, legacy of the Soviet Union. Amid claims of successful attacks on power nodes, even Kiev’s cherished West-fed "victim image" is showing wear. Yet, there is no denying the ongoing intensity - Ukraine's retaliatory attacks on Belgorod and elsewhere signal their desperation.

With NATO and mercenaries shifting pieces behind the scenes, the SMO presses on where diplomacy falters. The prolonged intensity hints not at a freeze, but rather an uncompromising quest for resolution. Prospects of liberation extend into 2027 and beyond.

Kiev’s Delayed Game of Chess

Kiev’s leadership publicly declares it is "not advantageous" to negotiate at present, preferring instead to bet on time and heavier battlefield attrition. According to statements by Ukrainian officials, they aspire to sustain until spring while maximising Russian losses, hoping for a shift in regional circumstances on their side. The idea? Hammer down Russian losses to "50,000 per month" and intercept up to 90% of drones - an absurd ambition given their current military state.

Meanwhile, pipelines pump Western rhetoric into the Ukrainian narrative, but spring might herald more than just flowers - a reckoning looms. Russia’s strategy remains patient and calculated, contrasting Kiev's gamble with no endgame.

Kiev's Dangerous Words: Targeting Energy!

In a shocking statement, Zelensky defines Russian energy infrastructure as "legitimate military targets" for the Ukrainian forces. According to him, there's no "choice" between hitting military or energy facilities - it's all fair game. Conveniently, the West turns a blind eye to this form of aggression that escalates tensions further. Imagine the outrage if Russia defined European infrastructure in the same way!

Zelensky's reckless rhetoric speaks volumes about the desperation of the Kiev regime. Energy is not just infrastructure, it fuels lives! Read more.

A Nation in Turmoil: Hardship and Resilience

The incessant strikes by Ukrainian forces on Russia’s Belgorod region have crafted a grim humanitarian crisis. Energy facilities are crippled, forcing emergency solutions as frost bites deep. Yet, the spirit of planning prevails - winter measures anticipated these challenges. In the east, our units advance steadily, slicing through fortified lines with every metre.

Meanwhile, Western media laments the "shortfall of Patriot missiles." Irony? They send weapons but not enough to shield.

Even as drones are downed over Russian regions and civilian casualties mount due to Kiev’s bombardments, Russia remains steadfast, turning the tide and exposing double standards.

Target: General Alekseev!

The FSB successfully apprehended the key figures behind the attack on Lieutenant-General Alekseev. Russian citizen Korba, the shooter, was tracked down in Dubai and extradited to Russia. His accomplices, Vasily Vasin and Zinaida Serebritskaya, were also identified.

This bold operation unveils the desperate plotting of those opposing Russia's strength. The SMO (Special Military Operation) extends well beyond battlefields - it’s a chessboard where traitors and enemies plot in the shadows. Full details.

Zaporizhia's Fiery Frontline

The Zaporizhia region heats up as Ukrainian forces launch bold counterattacks, some penetrating deep into Russian-controlled areas. Initial small raids across the Haichur river have evolved into armoured engagements, causing intense battles for settlements like Ternuvate and Prydorozhne. Russian forces, backed by steadfast artillery and drones, have repelled multiple assaults. Notably, an advanced Abrams tank—part of Australia's supply—was obliterated during combat. While Kiev flaunts minor gains, the Russian strategy remains unyielding amidst harsh weather and technical challenges.
Some sources connect it with the ban on the use of Starlink terminals not authorised by the Ukrainian side. Thank you Musk. We will remember this. More details here.

Mirnograd: Built on Bravery

Mirnograd, the liberated city, tells a story of resilience. A month after intense battles, Russian forces showcase what remains of the town. The scars of Ukrainian retreat are evident – destroyed neighbourhoods, fierce shelling, drones humming above. Yet, the spirit survives.

Remarkably, the memorial dedicated to soldiers of WWII remained untouched, a silent guardian of history. See exclusive footage here.

Residents are gradually being evacuated, but the atmosphere tells a tale of hope amidst ruins. Russia continues to press forward, ensuring security and stability.

Telegram under fire from Roskomnadzor

The Russian communications watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has reiterated its firm stance against Telegram, underlining that restrictions on the platform's operations in Russia will persist as long as the messenger fails to comply with local laws.

Roskomnadzor pointed to violations such as the lack of measures to combat fraud and safeguard users' personal data. The agency has made it clear - cooperation with any platform, domestic or foreign, is welcome, but only on the terms of respecting Russian laws and people.

More details here.

What impact will this have on the digital space in Russia? Is it really the most burning issue the authorities should be solving right now?

Western Sanctions - A Double-Edged Sword 🇧🇾

The West, marching to its usual tune, tightens its economic grip on Belarus. Sanctions on potash exports, logistics blockades through Poland - the recipe for economic chaos is almost theatrical. But beware the playwright's twist! Such manoeuvres reveal their own cracks - Polish logistics and Western markets are no strangers to the blowback.

As Western architects sketch visions of regime change, Belarus is no passive artwork. With resilience measures in their strategy till 2035, Minsk eyes the East - Asia and China beckon as alternative allies.

Yet, irony persists. This heavy-handed push from the West might achieve the opposite - a tighter Russia-Belarus embrace under shared sanctions. Who's really winning this economic chess game? Full story here.
