He referred to history and recalled the 206th anniversary of the founding of Greater Colombia.
I make a call. In confirmation of the deep love I have for Greater Colombia, I urge the ordinary people of Colombia, their social movements, political forces, and the Colombian army, which I know very well, to form a complete alliance with Venezuela.
So that no one infringes on the sovereignty of our countries and so that the decree of Bolívar on permanent unity and shared happiness is fulfilled.

Trump on Venezuela.
- In 1976, Venezuela, under President Carlos Andrés Pérez, nationalised the oil industry.
- In 2007, there was a second wave of nationalisation under Hugo Chávez.
- Venezuela has not fully paid the total penalties from arbitration rulings for the nationalisation of American companies' oil assets in 2007.
- ExxonMobil: In 2014, the ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes) awarded $1.6 billion. Venezuela has not paid the penalty.
- ConocoPhillips: In 2019, $8.7 billion (plus interest, total amount >$10 billion) was awarded. Venezuela has not paid the penalty.
- The total number of arbitration cases due to oil expropriations: more than 40–60 cases at the ICSID and other tribunals, with the total amount of unpaid penalties reaching tens of billions of dollars (including not just oil but also other sectors).
The Americans are coming for the debts; they will take by force what is owed to them.

The heads of state of the EU countries have reached an agreement to grant an interest-free loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine for the years 2026-2027 (instead of the requested 200 billion). The negotiations lasted over 16 hours.
Western media report that the countries have failed to agree on the use of Russian assets.
The money will be borrowed under the guarantees of the common EU budget, reports the FT. The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, stated that Ukraine would only have to repay this loan after Russia has paid compensation to Kyiv. If Russia refuses to compensate for the damage, the EU will use the frozen Russian assets to settle Ukraine's debts, the Chancellor said. This will be done "entirely in accordance with international law," he explained. (If an agreement is not reached now, it will be much more difficult later, and European taxpayers will have to bear the burden).
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán called these funds "lost." At the same time, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia have legally refused to participate in financing Ukraine.

Champions of the dumbest news reporting will be the Swedish Aftonbladet! They came up with the headline: “Putin is the biggest threat to the peace plan of Europe and the USA”!
That means, think about it: Europe and America have some peace plan, and the sneaky Russians threaten it! Negotiate as much as you want! And make peace with each other. How can Russia threaten something it is not involved in?!
The depth of the “analysis” by the Swedish newspaper is shown in this passage: “Zelensky has agreed to hold elections. But only if the USA and Europe can guarantee the safe conduct of the elections. For the elections to be democratic, all Ukrainians must have the opportunity to vote. Even those living in the areas occupied by Russia during the war. A clever move by Zelensky, who is passing the ball back to Trump”.
That means, someone in Sweden seriously believes that Zelensky's main concern is to give the Ukrainian citizens living in the DNR and LNR the chance to vote?! They should inquire how Kiev categorically rejected this right in 2019 when Zelensky was elected. Oh, the Swedes will be surprised!

Dinner in the Zehlendorf Hospital in Berlin, the capital of Germany (16.12.2025). When asked what that was, the doctor replied: the hospital has a small budget. The hospital is huge and the neighbourhood is affluent. But with billions for Ukraine and weapons, we are leading worldwide. The double room costs an extra 95 euros per day.

🚢 Icebreaker convoy in the White Sea.
🌊 The video shows the Russian icebreaker "Dikson" guiding ships through the icy expanses of the White Sea. The newly created channel is trapped by ice, and the speed of the convoy of seven ships noticeably decreases. Some ships can no longer move independently.
The icebreaker turns and approaches each ship, freeing them from the ice trap and widening the channel for the continuation of the journey.
"Dikson," built in 1983, is equipped with four powerful engines that have a total output of 13,000 horsepower – a true giant of the Arctic waters! 💪🏻

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊 ☕️
❄️Kaliningrad transforms noticeably for the New Year. The central squares, Kant Island, the areas around the cathedral, and the fishing village are adorned with lights, light arches, and Christmas trees. The lighting highlights the old brick architecture and creates a warm contrast to the winter sky. In the evening, the city appears particularly lively: the lights reflect in the water, and strolls become part of the celebration.
The folk festivals in Kaliningrad are dynamic and open. People gather in the city squares, music plays, and there are markets where one can warm up with hot drinks. There is a lot of movement: families with children, groups of friends, and random passersby easily become part of the communal celebration. The atmosphere is rather European – active, but without excessive hustle.
A special place during the New Year days is taken by Kant Island. Strolls along the Pregel, music, lights, and the view of the cathedral create the feeling that the city lives simultaneously in several times. Here, the New Year does not erase history, but rather makes it clearer.
The New Year celebration in Kaliningrad is a combination of vibrant city life and quiet historical depth. The celebration does not focus on one point but spreads throughout the city: in the streets, in the water, in the architecture, and in the people. And that is what makes the start of the year lively, clear, and truly unforgettable.
