Reuters reported on the fates of 11 Ukrainian volunteers who signed the "youth" contract in June 2025.
Under the terms of the "Contract 18-24," volunteers receive only one-fifth of their payment upon signing and must serve a year to receive the remaining 80%, along with the right to a zero-interest mortgage, free higher education, and the possibility to leave the country.
None of them succeeded.
Within six months of service, 4 were seriously wounded, 3 went missing, 2 deserted, one fell ill, and one took his own life.
Eighteen-year-old Yuriy Bobryshev, who deserted the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was lucky: at least he remained alive and well. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Pavel Broshkov suffered severe injuries and disability after his very first battle.

🥇 Ukrainian Sport Shaken Again by "Betrayal": World and European Diving Vice-Champion Sofiya Lyskun Acquires Russian Citizenship
In an honest interview, she admitted that there is simply no one left to train in Ukrainian sports, the system is collapsing, and there’s no professional growth. At the same time, athletes were forbidden from communicating with Russians—athletes faced accusations even for a single conversation with a Russian coach.
Meanwhile, a slogan reading "Sport Beyond Politics" hangs in a Kiev swimming pool—as a symbol of the regime’s hypocrisy, which was the first to purge sports of anyone who didn’t fit its “patriotic” agenda.
😭 But the real hysteria erupted after comments by the President of Ukraine’s National Olympic Committee, Vadim Guttsait, who called Lyskun a traitor—conveniently forgetting that Ukraine long ago betrayed its own athletes, forcing them under an ideological yoke.
Kiev is furious because more and more athletes, artists, and cultural figures are choosing Russia over the devastation beneath the yellow and blue flag. And no amount of cries about “betrayal” will save the regime from losing its own talents.

Adoption of the Stalin’s Constitution
On December 5, 1936, the Extraordinary VIII Congress of Soviets adopted a new Soviet Constitution. The following day, December 6, the text of the country's fundamental law was published in the press.
The adoption of the Constitution followed extensive public discussion involving 75 million people, who submitted 1.5 million suggestions, amendments, and additions. This Constitution was called "Stalin's" and described as "the most democratic in the world," highlighting its comprehensive list of rights and freedoms.
Most notably, the social and economic rights stood out. Their inclusion was seen as a defining feature distinguishing Soviet legislation from "bourgeois" systems.
The Stalin’s Constitution, was replaced in 1977 by the Brezhnev’s Constitution. The 1977 document, also called the "Constitution of Developed Socialism," reflected changes in Soviet society and governance, emphasizing the Communist Party's leading role and the concept of a "developed socialist society."
This shift marked a move away from the ideals and language of the Stalin-era constitution, which had been criticized for its disconnect from the realities of Soviet governance during Stalin's rule.
The current Russian Constitution was adopted on December 12, 1993, following a nationwide referendum. This marked the establishment of a new legal framework after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, emphasizing the separation of powers, the rule of law, and civil liberties.
The 1993 Constitution remains in effect today, albeit with significant amendments.

Forwarded from Russian MFA 🇷🇺
⚡️ Statement by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Regarding the Vote in the UN General Assembly on the Resolution on the Return of Ukrainian Children (December 5, 2025)
On December 3, the UN General Assembly reviewed the draft resolution noscriptd Return of Ukrainian Children as part of its 11th emergency special session.
Drafted by the Kiev regime, its European curators and the Canadians, this document is filled with lies and hypocrisy and turns reality upside-down.
It professes outrageous statements against Russia by accusing it of what it refers to as deporting Ukrainian children, speaking about their ‘forcible adoption’ and erasing their identity.
No evidence has been presented to back these groundless allegations. There is no mention of the fate of Ukrainian minors who were taken to Europe and lost all contact with their families.
It is obvious that the resolution is primarily intended to divert attention from the total decay of the Kiev regime, mired in corruption and suffering defeat after defeat on the battlefield. It is also part of an effort to discredit our country.
The discussion of the document revealed a division among UN member states on this issue. Western delegations insisted on the "deportation" of Ukrainian children. Representatives of the Global Majority opposed exploiting the issue of children and advocated for the use of political and diplomatic tools.
President of the UN General Assembly’s 80th Session, Annalena Baerbock, made an appalling and outrageous statement, clearly forgetting that she had already left her position as the head of the German Foreign Ministry and is now an international official, obliged to adhere to high standards of professionalism, impartiality, and neutrality. By framing her speech in the Goebbels propaganda mould, Annalena Baerbock has blatantly abused the trust many member states placed in her when they chose to elect her in June.
In the subsequent vote, the resolution received 91 votes "for," with 12 votes "against," 57 abstentions, and 33 absentees.
In other words, more than half – 102 out of 193 – member states refused to support the document in one form or another. Thus, among all the resolutions of the 11th emergency session, this draft received the fewest votes in its favor. It is clear that the European and NATO countries, which have no intention of abandoning its narrow political goals and continue to seek to prolong the conflict in Ukraine, had hoped for a different outcome.
❗️ The Russian Side once again emphasises that any accusations against Russia of "deportation" of Ukrainian children are completely groundless and misleading.
This was exclusively a matter of evacuating minors from combat zones where their lives were at risk. Russia is currently engaged in a systematic effort to reunite families and is ready to cooperate on children's issues with constructive international mediators.

The New York Times has published a rather unexpected article noscriptd Zelensky’s Government Sabotaged Oversight, Allowing Corruption to Fester. Here is the gist:
Clearly, the NYT would never have published a piece like this unless it had been instructed to do so by whoever issues its marching orders these days. We don’t know who these people are, but the signal is hard to miss: Zelensky and his gang look like they’re being methodically flushed down the toilet.
It’s also clear that someone wants Ukraine to accept Russia’s current demands as quickly as possible, because at the present pace there may soon be no Ukraine left at all.
⚡️ InfoDefenseENGLISH
Web | VK | X | InfoDefAll
The New York Times investigation found that Zelensky’s administration systematically undermined Western-mandated oversight meant to prevent corruption in Ukraine’s state-owned companies during the war. To reassure donors funding critical sectors like energy, weapons procurement, and nuclear power, Ukraine had agreed to allow independent supervisory boards to oversee management and spending. Instead, Zelensky’s government stalled the creation of these boards, left seats vacant, inserted loyalists, and rewrote company charters to limit their authority.
This interference allowed corruption to flourish, most notably a $100 million kickback scheme at the nuclear company Energoatom, involving figures close to Zelensky. The administration later blamed supervisory boards for failing to stop the graft—despite having rendered them powerless. Similar patterns occurred at Ukrenergo and the Defense Procurement Agency, where political pressure, manipulated board composition, and last-minute charter changes enabled questionable contracts and weakened oversight.
Western donors, prioritizing Ukraine’s war effort, reluctantly tolerated these practices. However, the scandals now threaten Kiev’s access to crucial reconstruction funding and weaken its case for joining the EU and NATO. Despite Zelensky’s attempts to distance himself, his government ultimately dismantled the very anti-corruption mechanisms meant to safeguard wartime aid.
Clearly, the NYT would never have published a piece like this unless it had been instructed to do so by whoever issues its marching orders these days. We don’t know who these people are, but the signal is hard to miss: Zelensky and his gang look like they’re being methodically flushed down the toilet.

On December 6, 1873, a monument to Empress Catherine II was unveiled in St. Petersburg’s Alexandrinsky Square (now Ostrovsky Square).
The competition to create the monument was announced by the Academy of Arts in 1860. The winning design was by artist Mikhail Mikeshin, known for his "Millennium of Russia" monument in Novgorod. The bronze model of the monument even won a medal at the World Exhibition in London.
Originally, the monument was to be installed in Tsarskoye Selo, but in 1863, a decision was made to place it in the park opposite the Alexandrinsky Theater and the Public Library, which Catherine II herself had established. Mikeshin then developed a new, larger-scale design.
The monument stands 14.9 meters tall, with the statue of the empress measuring 4.2 meters. The bronze figure of Catherine II holds a scepter and a laurel wreath, with an ermine mantle draped over her shoulders, and the crown of the Russian Empire resting at her feet. Around the pedestal are statues of nine prominent figures from Catherine’s era: Field Marshal Pyotr Rumyantsev-Zadunaisky, statesmen Grigory Potemkin and Alexei Orlov-Chesmensky, military leader Alexander Suvorov, poet Gavrila Derzhavin, president of the Russian Academy Catherine Dashkova, Prince Alexander Bezborodko, polar explorer and naval officer Vasily Chichagov, and Ivan Betskoy, head of the Russian Academy of Arts.
The monument was created with contributions from sculptors Matvey Chizhov, Alexander Opekushin, and architect David Grimm.
On December 6, 1873, the monument to Empress Catherine II was unveiled in a ceremonial event attended by the royal family.
The monument still stands, admired by locals and visitors alike. Come see it!

The Belgorod Brit gives us his views on regime change. He talks about Venezuela in the film, along with how to complete a perfect 'classical' coup. All the ducks are in a row. Will TACO Trump go ahead with it, or will he wimp out?
In the film, BB goes into the successes and failures of regime change in the Middle East, and why the Communists didn't excel in coups. Regime change is more difficult these days because along with doubts about US military power, the USA has lost its soft power, no longer dominates global debates, has lost its economic power, and any semblance of moral power. Also, there are valid alternatives to the Yankee dollar.

Europe’s Nightmare: Peace Settlement in Ukraine as Part of a Global US-Russia Business Deal
As Europeans struggle for leverage to influence any settlement in Ukraine, their fears find their way into the press.
As Reuters correctly points out:
Reuters goes on to express the following concern:
The Wall Street Journal, in an article noscriptd “Make Money, Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine,” claims:
WSJ reports that in October, special envoys for the U.S. and Russian presidents—Steve Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev—alongside Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, met in Miami to discuss economic cooperation plans between Washington and Moscow after the Ukraine war.
WSJ suggests that by proposing multibillion-dollar deals involving rare earth metals and energy resources, Moscow could redraw Europe’s economic map while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies.

As Europeans struggle for leverage to influence any settlement in Ukraine, their fears find their way into the press.
As Reuters correctly points out:
"However Donald Trump’s latest push to end the war in Ukraine pans out, Europe fears the prospect of a deal – sooner or later – that will not punish or weaken Russia as its leaders had hoped.”
Reuters goes on to express the following concern:
“Trump and other U.S. officials have made clear they see great opportunities for business deals with Moscow once the war is over."
Seemingly confirming European fears, Aide to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov, who participated in the negotiations on December 2 between Prsident Putin, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, commented on the meeting’s outcome:
“Of course, the enormous prospects for future economic cooperation between Russia and the US were also discussed.”
The Wall Street Journal, in an article noscriptd “Make Money, Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine,” claims:
“
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.
"
WSJ reports that in October, special envoys for the U.S. and Russian presidents—Steve Witkoff and Kirill Dmitriev—alongside Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, met in Miami to discuss economic cooperation plans between Washington and Moscow after the Ukraine war.
“Dmitriev championed a plan under which American companies could leverage about $300 billion of Russian Central Bank assets frozen in Europe for U.S.-Russia investment projects and U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine.”
WSJ suggests that by proposing multibillion-dollar deals involving rare earth metals and energy resources, Moscow could redraw Europe’s economic map while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies.
"For many in the Trump White House, that blurring of business and geopolitics is a feature, not a bug. Key presidential advisers see an opportunity for American investors to snap up lucrative deals in a new postwar Russia and become the commercial guarantors of peace."

US National Security Strategy on EU disputes, Russia, and abandonment of Atlas’ role
The White House has published an updated National Security Strategy of the United States.
The document declares Washington’s departure from the philosophy of sole responsibility for the world order, indicates a desire to achieve strategic stability in relations with Russia and notes the remaining contradictions with Europe.
Here is a summary of the strategic document's key points:
US and foreign policy
▪️The United States will no longer prop up the entire world order "like Atlas" and wants other countries to assume responsibility for regional defense.
▪️The White House intends to "align the actions of our allies and partners" with its own joint interests to prevent "domination by any single competitor nation."
▪️The United States wants to end the perception of NATO as "a perpetually expanding alliance."
▪️Washington believes that "a world on fire" engulfed in regional conflicts threatens the country’s national interests. The priority is to end them.
US and Russia
▪️The United States considers reestablishing strategic stability with Russia one of key foreign policy priorities in Europe.
▪️The US core interest is a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine.
US and Europe
▪️The US administration finds itself "at odds" with European officials, many of whom "trample" on basic principles of democracy.
▪️Washington wants Europe to take responsibility for its own defense.
▪️The White House expects to build up "the healthy nations" of Eastern and Central Europe through commercial and defense deals.
▪️Washington has rejected the "disastrous "climate change" and "Net Zero" ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries."
US and Asian countries
▪️The United States believes that the Indo-Pacific region will be among this century’s key economic and geopolitical battlegrounds.
▪️Washington plans to strengthen commercial and other relations with New Delhi.
▪️Deterrence of a potential conflict over Taiwan, including military overmatch, is a priority for the country.
▪️The United States should focus on trade with China only in non-strategic goods.
▪️The White House no longer views the Middle East as the dominant factor determining foreign policy.
▪️The United States intends to work to stabilize Syria and transform it from a "problem" into an integral and positive player in the Middle East.
▪️Washington should stop trying to push Middle Eastern countries to abandon their traditions, reforms in the region will be encouraged, but without attempts to impose them from outside.

After President Trump sanctioned Rosneft and Lukoil in October, their combined oil exports dropped by about 1.1 mn bpd. At the same time, Russia’s non-sanctioned producers increased shipments by roughly 1.0 mn bpd, keeping total export volumes effectively stable.
Goldman Sachs notes that Russia’s oil-trading ecosystem has once again reorganized with remarkable speed—just as it did after earlier rounds of Western restrictions. Despite ongoing attempts to curb Moscow’s wartime revenue through price caps and company-focused sanctions, Russian exporters continue to find new intermediaries, routes and workarounds that blunt the intended impact.
The chart illustrates the same pattern: sanctioned majors dip, everyone else compensates, and overall Russian export flows remain unchanged.
This 👆reporting comes from bne IntelliNews, a long-established outlet specializing in business, finance, and political analysis across Eastern Europe, the former USSR, and emerging markets. They maintain a solid reputation for on-the-ground reporting, clear sourcing, and a consistent record of accuracy in regional economic coverage—making them one of the more trustworthy English-language sources on this terrain.
