Russian servicemen speaks about liberation of Dimitrov which is close to Krasnoamersk (Pokrovsk) in the Donetsk People's Republic

A small compilation of what so-called European politicians and mainstream journalists write on X, it is indescribable how bad it is, yet I want to share it here almost at the end of 2025, when people in Europe, including politicians, will wish each other a Happy New Year. Unfortunately, while European politicians are "silencing" people themselves, they have resorted to aggressive street language and it shows the level of what Europe is now;

- A journalist for the Dutch MSM: The big mouth of the Russian ambassador in The Hague is laughable. He doesn't even know that Ukraine has stopped celebrating the colonial Christmas on January 7th and has switched to the Catholic date of December 25th. With his ignorance, he reveals and expresses his raw imperialist mentality.
Or:
- In the Algemeen Dagblad MSM newspaper); It is downright scandalous that Kremlin propaganda is repeated without any critical context.
Or
- Johan van Oldebarnevelt, a Belgian Member of the European Parliament for the N-VA (ECR group) and chair of the Budget Committee, writes about Medevedev: "You're a criminal."
Or
Another so-called Member of the European Parliament, the Austrian Helmut Brandstätter: "What do you call a regime that bombs kindergartens and hospitals? War criminals," meaning Putin. Or the same Helmut Brandstätter who calls Lavrov a terrorist.
Or
A German MSM journalist (though he's not German) Vassilli Golod, correspondent and host of the podcast "Machiavelli – Rap & Politics": "Russia wants war and lies will we teach you, you war-criminals."
There's much more, which I won't describe here, but it's truly sad that Europe wants war, even if only in words...

European mentality

My Comments on RT: Russian MOD releases VIDEO of drone Ukraine used to attack Putin residence
All 91 UAVs which Kiev launched at the presidential compound in Novgorod Region on the night of December 28-29 were destroyed, according to the Russian military. The Defense Ministry said in a separate statement that it has “presented irrefutable evidence of a terrorist attack planned by the Kiev regime on the Russian President’s residence.”
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who denies that the drone raid took place, is “either unaware of the actual situation or is simply lying as he usually does,” it stated.

Wishing you all a happy and most of all a peaceful 2026. Thanks for reading my articles and watching the video's, highly appreciated. Thanks all🎅⛄️🌲

Sonja van den Ende My Comments on RT: New Years Eve Ukraine's drone strikes on Kherson region many dead and wounded Civilians

At least 24 people were killed and more than 50 others injured after three Ukrainian drones hit a cafe and a hotel in Kherson on Wednesday night, local authorities said. The attack occurred as civilians were gathering to celebrate the New Year, Vladimir Saldo, head of the Kherson region, said. "Many people were burned alive," Saldo said, noting that one of the drones carried an incendiary mixture, which triggered a massive fire at the scene.

"Wir klagen an!" – Russische Reaktionen auf ukrainischen Drohnenangriff auf Neujahrsfeier in Chorly

Als "besonders zynisch" und "abscheulich" werten russische Offizielle den Drohnenangriff auf eine Neujahrsfeier im Gebiet Cherson. Maria Sacharowa zog Parallelen zu Verbrechen der ukrainischen Nazi-Kollaborateure und beschuldigte den Westen der Komplizenschaft.

Veel ophef over de Vondelkerk en Zwitserland, maar geen woord over de terroristische aanslag in Cherson-Rusland.

Russische media en politici omschreven de droneaanval op een nieuwjaarsviering in de regio Cherson als “bijzonder cynisch” en “afschuwelijk”. De westerse pers, met name in Nederland, negeerde het incident, alsof de inmiddels 27 doden en 50 gewonden, onder wie kinderen, geen mensen zijn.

Terwijl families in het dorp Khorly aan de Zwarte Zee in de republiek Cherson, de jaarwisseling van 2026 vierden – lachend, proostend en feestend met kinderen – voerde het Oekraïense leger op 31 december om 23:55 uur, vijf minuten voor Nieuwjaar 2026, een koelbloedige droneaanval uit op een café en hotel vol met burgers. Drie drones, waarvan er één naar verluidt gevuld was met een brandbaar mengsel, troffen de drukbezochte locatie en veroorzaakten een enorme brand.

Minstens 24 mensen, inmiddels 27 in totaal, bezweken aan hun verwondingen en zijn levend verbrand, onder wie een kind, en meer dan 50 anderen raakten gewond. Velen kwamen om in de vlammenzee.

Vladimir Saldo, de gouverneur van de regio Cherson, zei dat de aanval in Khorly alleen te vergelijken was met het bloedbad van Odessa op 2 mei 2014, toen Oekraïense nazi’s tientallen mensen een vakbondshal in dwongen en in brand staken.

My latest article on Strategic Culture: https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/01/02/why-rich-refugees-flock-to-ukraine-from-impoverished-europe-for-christmas/ Are these still refugees who supposedly cannot return to their homeland? Anger is boiling over in German and Dutch cities – and rightly so. While many Europeans are having to count every euro twice in this crisis of Europe’s own making, convoys of Ukrainian cars are heading east during the Christmas holidays. These refugees, reportedly fleeing Russian bombs and drones, are being well supported financially by Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries – yet as Christmas approaches, they suddenly return home in high spirits.

At the Polish-Ukrainian border, cars are stuck in traffic jams for kilometers. Journalists report hours-long waits, and the flow of returning travelers shows no signs of abating. Families registered as war refugees are heading back to Ukraine for the Christmas and New Year holidays. While air raid sirens supposedly never cease in Ukraine, the fear of missiles and drones appears to fade. The contradiction is stark. Mainstream outlets like Deutsche Welle, whose reporter Christopher Wanner covered the border traffic, have reported on these queues (the report can be viewed here).

Today marks five years since Trump ordered the brutal assassination of Qassam Soleimani and Abu-Mahdi al-Muhandis in Iraq. Both were master strategists, and thanks to them, many ISIS fighters were eliminated at the time. Now, after five years, the Middle East is a cesspool of misery, and ISIS, or as parts of it now call itself, Hayat-Tahrir-as-Sham, has risen to power. A new caliphate has emerged, this time in Damascus, where numerous brutal assassinations have taken place in recent weeks, including the killing of a brigadier general of the SAA, and many young Alawite men—even an engineer—most of whom were too young to have anything to do with Bashar al-Assad's government. Soleimani once said that if Syria falls, the entire Levant will fall, and the suffering will be incalculable, and that is exactly what has happened. On the very day of the American assassination of the two generals, explosions are heard in Venezuela. Maduro, like Iran, is America's so-called enemy. America, a continent that has fought more than 200 wars and killed millions of people, continues to wage war, even under Trump. It's probably in the American genes to be barbaric! After all, it was mostly Europeans who colonized America and massacred the Native Americans, so what do you expect from them?

So Trump is now embroiled in his next war after Gaza and Iran, after not even one year as president—this is now his third war, and he wanted the Nobel Prize? After his involvement in the Gaza war (weapons), Iran, and the coups in Syria, the brutal war in Lebanon, now it's the bombing of Venezuela, and he says bluntly: "He wants the oil and Maduro dead." The attacks on the so-called drug boats were merely a distraction. The US is a greedy, belligerent entity, as it always has been.

The new year has already gotten off to a bad start thanks to the terrorist attack in Cherson, which Western media haven't reported, and now they're claiming that Russia attacked an apartment building in Kharkov. It's unbelievable how the Western press allows itself to be exploited for the lies and political agendas of belligerent European, US and Ukrainian politicians. In my view, they are also complicit, not directly, but indirectly, in spreading lies and turning a blind eye to the murder of civilians.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence:
"The information about the alleged attack by the Russian Armed Forces on Kharkov on 2 January is not true.
❗️ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation neither planned nor launched attacks using missile weapons or aircraft weapons within the city of Kharkov.
Based on eyewitness-made videos published by Ukrainian information resources, the epicenter of the explosion was located in the Persona shopping center at 2, Olesya Gonchara Street.
On the published footage, heavy smoke of unknown origin was recorded in the building a few seconds before the explosion, which indicates that there was a high probability of detonation of the ammunition stored there by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The statements of the Kiev regime about the alleged 'Russian strike on Kharkov' are intended to distract the attention of the international community from the violent terrorist attack committed by the AFU on the night of 1 January against civilians in the settelment of Khorly (Kherson region).
