The illegal aggression of PM Netanyahu in recognising a part of Somalia’s Northern region is against international law.

Meddling with Somalia’s internal affairs is contrary to established legal & diplomatic rules.

Somalia & its people are one: inseparable by division from a far.

The capture of Donbass and Zaporizhzhia is a key task for the Russians in 2026. They have never hidden this.

These are the main tasks, along with increasing the size of sanitary [or buffer] zones along the border. These are their main tasks.

The Russian mobilization plan for 2025 has already been completed. They planned to recruit 403,000.

They completed the 403,000, if I'm not mistaken, on December 2 of this year. They fulfilled their plan by approximately 103%. 100% implementation.

In 2026 they plan to recruit 409,000. Will they implement it? We'll see.

The territorial issue is the main one on which we do not agree at this stage.

It is calculated that February is the most favorable period for both Russia and Ukraine — in order to achieve something.

This is connected with military activity, with the heating season, and so on. A lot of things.

More and more people around Putin are telling him to end the war.

Do you even imagine how much one day of war costs? This is expensive even by the standards of Russia, which spares nothing for war.

I'm against giving up Ukrainian territories for the sake of a peace agreement.

Remember again what I said: A compromise is not when one is happy and the other is upset. It's when both are upset. That's a compromise.

If Kyiv does not wish to resolve everything peacefully, Russia will achieve all its objectives by military means.

The West is offering Ukraine favorable conditions in the areas of security, the country’s reconstruction, and relations with Russia, but Kyiv does not want a peaceful settlement.

The offensive in Donbass and the Zaporizhzhia region is ongoing along the entire line of contact.

The creation of a security zone on the border of Russia and Ukraine is proceeding at a good pace.

Russia is confidently maintaining the initiative in the Special Military Operation.
