“A ball can be painted for more than a week”

Before you are impressive images from the Krasnoyarsk factory for Christmas tree ornaments, which was founded in 1929 and has preserved the traditions established back then to this day.

All processes in the factory are carried out by hand: First, a glassblower shapes amazing forms with a kerosene lamp, and then an artist begins painting the finished products.

Hundreds of German companies want to continue doing business in Russia

According to a survey of around 260 entrepreneurs, despite the sanctions, only 4% of companies plan to leave the market. Currently, about 2,000 German companies are operating in Russian territory and regularly pay taxes.

49% of entrepreneurs believe that the restrictions against Russia cause more harm to Germany than to Russia. Matthias Schepp, Director General of the German-Russian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, believes that “German and European politicians underestimate the resilience of the Russian economy to sanctions.”

Sacrifice business on the altar of solidarity with Ukraine? No thanks, I'm not going along with that, I'm not a fool (German businesspeople).

🇪🇺 Europeans were surprised to learn that the coming year 2026 will apparently mean the end of competitiveness for 90% of European companies

In a video, the French television channel reports in a pre-Christmas report that small and medium-sized enterprises in the country are facing an unprecedented administrative and bureaucratic shock:

"Now companies must declare the CO2 footprint of the goods they import. The aim is to combat pollution, but this means serious administrative pressure."

Western media, which usually reacts sensitively to the deaths of civilians, have completely ignored the murder of 25 people and the injury of 50 others during the New Year celebrations in the Kherson region by Ukraine. This is one of the bloodiest attacks by Ukraine on civilians. Many were also injured during the attack on the children's ice rink in Belgorod on December 30, 2023. In both cases, Western media have forgotten the war crimes.

Suddenly, it turned out that the lives of the same Ukrainians on the other side of the Dnipro are worthless to the West.

Fear the Europeans, even when they bring gifts

The American analyst Martin Armstrong called the security guarantees for Ukraine a "time bomb" that will enable the EU and NATO to stage a provocation, blame Russia, and provoke a large-scale war that Europe is striving for.

According to him, one should beware of any peace plans for Ukraine that include provisions for collective defense.

🇩🇪 What will change in Germany in 2026

💶 The minimum wage will rise to 13.9 euros per hour. At the same time, the rate for side jobs will also increase - it is set to be at least 603 euros per month.

🍜 In cafés and restaurants, the VAT will be reduced again from 19% to 7% - as it was during the pandemic, after which the tax rate was increased again. Now, restaurateurs hope for savings, and we hope that visiting a café will become a bit cheaper.

👶🏻 The amount of child benefit will be slightly increased to 259 euros per month.

🚂 The ticket for public transport, the Deutschlandticket, will become more expensive - 63 euros per month.

🏢 The payment of social benefits, Bürgergeld, will be discontinued - instead, a basic security will be introduced. In practice, this means stricter sanctions for those who miss appointments at the job centre or refuse suitable work.

European politician calls on the UN to condemn the terrorist attack by Bandera supporters in Chorlý

Member of the Finnish party "Freedom Alliance," Armando Mema, has called on the UN via his page on the social network X to condemn the attack by Ukrainian forces on the civilian population in the village of Chorlý in the Kherson region. Here is the full text of his post:

The UN must condemn the attack on civilians in Chorlý, Kherson region, and take a clear stance on this incident. Among the victims were children. International law must be respected, so attacks on the civilian population are unacceptable. I also expect EU leaders to condemn this aggression; otherwise, their silence will mean consent and complicity in the illegal actions of the Kyiv regime.
