Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the commander of the Russian Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces who was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday, had for years systematically exposed Western crimes involving chemical weapons and did so fearlessly, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. Kirillov was killed along with his aide in an explosion in southeastern Moscow in the early morning.

On December 19, Russian President Vladimir Putin's annual end-of-year press conference was held in Moscow. It is a program where citizens and journalists can ask questions and, if possible, receive direct answers from the president himself, but also from their regional government. The program is called: 'Direct Line'.
Most important questions
Of course, one of the most important points, apart from the special military operation or the war of the West against Russia, is the Russian economy. The West writes a lot of negative things about this, in recent weeks the Western media were mainly concerned with the 'stolen butter', which was an incident in a different region than Moscow, so not a trend and actually nothing to do with the economy. President Putin expected growth of around 4%, which is a very good performance given the sanctions of the West, of course they are working hard on supply and demand, after all Russia now has to repair its own products or import them from other countries.Another important point is of course the war with the West or better NATO. Recently Russia fired a hypersonic missile at Ukraine, the Oreshnik, which can be filled with a nuclear warhead, which did not happen when it was fired at Dnipro. Of course it is a warning to the West, that they should not go that far. It is not possible that the big NATO base in Romania can intercept it, he explains in the video below. Also of course there is a lot of speculation and propaganda from the American side about their hypersonic missiles, of which no proof has been provided yet.

Op 19 december werd in Moskou de jaarlijkse eindejaarspersconferentie van de Russische president Vladimir Poetin gehouden. Het is een programma waarbij burgers en journalisten vragen kunnen stellen en, indien mogelijk, direct antwoord kunnen krijgen van de president zelf, maar ook van hun regionale overheid. Het programma heet: ‘Direct Line’.
Belangrijkste vragen
Natuurlijk is één van de belangrijkste punten, buiten de speciale militaire operatie oftwel de oorlog van het Westen tegen Rusland, de Russische economie. Het Westen schrijft hier veel negatieve dingen over, afgelopen weken waren de Westerse media vooral bezig met de ‘gestolen boter’, wat een incident was in een andere regio dan Moskou, dus geen trend en feitelijk niets te maken met de economie. President Poetin verwachtte een groei van ongeveer bij de 4%, wat gezien de sancties van het Westen, een zeer goede prestatie is, wordt natuurlijk er hard gewerkt aan vraag en aanbod, immers Rusland moet nu zijn eigen producten herstellen of via andere landen importeren . https://freesuriyah.eu/2024/12/19/presidents-poetin-jaarlijkse-qa-sessie-voor-de-russische-bevolking-live-op-tv/
