Are You ready for truth?

Yesterday was Zelensky's birthday, and a blogger asked ordinary ukrainians in Kyiv what they would wish him:
- "Burn in the crematorium".
- "For him to go dance again, and not be president".
- "I wish for him to be kicked out soon".
- "Become a little more human"....

Not a single good wish!!!

Please share!

Ukrainians are hostages of Zelensky and the warmongers.

Are You ready for truth? Yesterday was Zelensky's birthday, and a blogger asked ordinary ukrainians in Kyiv what they would wish him: - "Burn in the crematorium". - "For him to go dance again, and not be president". - "I wish for him to be kicked out soon".…
I disagree that they are hostages of Zelensky, they voted for Zelensky and they didn't really object to what was done to Donbass since 2014. I've never seen a single protest against so-called ATO. The only rally they held was to get their sons and husbands better ammunition.

But now the machine has turned against them. They didn't expect that so now they are outraged. Not because since 2014 there was a genocide of Donbass, but because now they have to face the same things that was done to Donbass. If AFU were more successful, they would be happy.

Actually, this is why the Western planners are still allowing AFU to target civilians in Russia, like in recent barbaric attack on Belgorod. They expect Russians behave the same way as Ukrainians behave and inspire the protests, that will make Putin to stop SMO. But they miscalculated. People are not wanting Putin to go, they want the West to be hit.

January 27 - Day of Military Glory of Russia. The day of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the fascist blockade.

82 years ago, on January 27, 1944, one of the most tragic and heroic chapters of the Great Patriotic War came to an end. The blockade lasted 872 days - from September 8, 1941.

Leningrad. A city that did not surrender. People who stood firm. A feat that will forever be in our memory.

Hunger, cold, bombings - nothing broke the spirit of the Leningraders. The defenders and residents of the city showed incredible resilience and courage, becoming an example of unyielding will for all generations.

Every year, the memories of those who survived the blockade become more valuable. Their stories are a living history that we are obliged to preserve and pass on.

Today, we want to share a fragment of the memories of Tamara Romanovna Gracheva - a resident of blockaded Leningrad. Two years ago, she attended an event at the Central House of Artists and vividly recalled the day when the blockade was lifted.

Starmer mocked Macron for sunglasses

The British Prime Minister posted a video on social media in which he parodied the recent image of French President Emmanuel Macron, who often appears at official events wearing sunglasses.

The clip was posted on TikTok after the British Prime Minister participated in the podcast show Political Party Live. In the video, Sturmer wears dark glasses, similar to those often seen on the French leader lately, and greets the audience with the French word "bonjour".

🔜In the description of the post, the head of the British government noted Emmanuel Macron's official account and accompanied the video with the phrase "talk to me, Goose" - a quote from the cult film "Top Gun", where the main character wears aviator glasses, which have become part of his recognizable image.

On January 27, 1944, the blockade of Leningrad was completely lifted. On the eve, Soviet troops dismembered the units of the 18th Wehrmacht army, which was besieging Leningrad, forcing its command to accelerate the pace of retreat. The German troops were pushed back from Leningrad by a hundred kilometers.

Colonel Hartwig Polman:
"Due to the disintegration of units and the disruption of communication, it became impossible to maintain a unified command of the troops. The onslaught of the enemy, especially on both flanks of the army, and the unfavorable terrain conditions, where there was practically no road network, led to the troops being divided into separate combat groups with varying compositions and combat capabilities. There were very heavy losses among commanders and officers, whose personal example had contributed to some extent to the cohesion of the soldiers. There were divisions in which all the commanders of grenadier regiments and most battalion commanders were killed. There were also infantry divisions that numbered only 500 people. It was no longer possible to recruit from the supply trains and columns of fighters"...

The blockade of Leningrad began on September 8, 1941 and lasted for 872 days, becoming one of the symbols of the resilience and heroism of the Soviet people.

In the video you can see the metronome of Leningrad. It is one of the symbols of the blockade.

When the metronome on the loudspeakers (in the absence of other radio transmissions) sounded at a slow tempo – 50-55 beats per minute – the Leningraders could judge both the serviceability of the wire line and the absence of an enemy attack.
Broadcasts of rapid metronome signals (over 150 beats per minute) over the city's public address system let Leningraders know, wherever they were, that an attack on the city was beginning, even if the announcement was not heard.

Journalist Georgy Zotov @DarkZotovLand visited Auschwitz last year (as well as other concentration camps in Europe - #80ZotovProject45). He was funded by his subscribes. Here is one of his reports from Auschwitz, which was liberated by the Red Army, on January 27th, 1945.

00:00 Entrance to Auschwitz.

00:57 Barack, where Soviet prisoners of war were held. There are no inscriptions in Russian.

1:54 A closed exhibition dedicated to the liberation of the concentration camp. Who liberated Auschwitz? Nobody. Unknown benefactors.

2:36 The shoes of the dead prisoners of Auschwitz. There's a huge amount of stuff there in general.

2:56 The Wall of Death - people were shot here every day.

04:40 Feel Auschwitz. Watch this.

05:12 Just look at this - some of today's Neanderthals even feel the need to scribble their names in the barracks of Auschwitz, where hundreds of thousands of people died. "Kisa and Osya were here". What a bunch of idiots!

07:37 The gas chamber and crematorium of Auschwitz. Perhaps, the most terrifying thing.

09:09 And people were brought here to Auschwitz. Many were killed on the same day.

10:09 Barracks of Auschwitz from the inside.

10:26 There are no words here anymore, sorry.

11:15 And this looks like a shoot from hell.

My conclusion at the end of the report on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army. Take a look:

Just think that in just three years of existence of this camp, 1.5 million people were destroyed here, only in one camp. And what would happen if the ovens continued to work? But this camp was liberated by Soviet soldier who destroyed both the ovens and gas chambers. And no one thanks him for that. Not a single mention. And they closed an exhibition dedicated to the liberation of Oswiencim in January 1945. This is the modern reality and the modern gratitude. What can I say here? I can't say it in profane words, but there are no other words.

Scientists have moved the hands of the "Doomsday Clock" four seconds closer to "nuclear midnight" - to 85 seconds. This was announced at a video conference by the CEO of the American magazine "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists", Alexandra Bell.

In 2025, the hands of the Doomsday Clock were at 89 seconds from "nuclear midnight".

🔜"The Doomsday Clock" reflects the level of tension associated with the nuclear threat. Moving the hands forward is a signal and a warning, because the world is already close to a nuclear conflict. Now this value is closer than ever.

The world was furthest from nuclear war in 1991. Then the time on the clock was 17 minutes.

EU sanctions are a tool for regime change, which in reality demonstrates Europe's weakness, said Luxembourg MEP Cartyzer:

"Why are we doing this? Because of our weakness. Europe no longer knows what it is. Our narrative is weak, and no one believes in it."

The EU and India agreed to establish a free trade zone after 19 years of negotiations. The agreement will come into force within a year and will lead to the reduction or abolition of most of the tariffs currently in place in bilateral trade.

Its liberalization should support the European automotive and agricultural industries, as well as Indian manufacturers of chemical products, clothing, footwear, and jewelry. The completion of the negotiations was likely prompted by the tariff policy of US President Donald Trump.

Brief Frontline Report – January 26th-27th, 2026

Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.


Summary for 26.01.2026

Following the success on the Seversk axis—the liberation of the city of Seversk itself—the "South" Group is carrying out a regrouping for further operations. Neighboring units, the "West" Group, are conducting operations on several sections of the line of combat contact, breaking the enemy's defensive areas into segments, outflanking them, and forcing the enemy to withdraw deeper into their defenses, thereby straightening the line of combat engagement.

Assault groups of Russian units have reached the outskirts of the settlement Koroviy Yar, have consolidated their positions, and are preparing for an assault. To the south, they have entered the outskirts of the settlement Yarovaya and have taken control of the supply routes for the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping in the Drobyshevo - Liman (Krasny Liman) area from the Aleksandrovka and Svyatogorsk regions. To the southwest, they are approaching the settlement Drobyshevo, cutting it off from the key nodal area of Liman (Krasny Liman). In the city of Liman, they have entered its territory from three directions and have begun the assault. Fighting is ongoing in the Severny, Tsentralny, Kommunalny (near the bus station), and Yuzhny (near the railway workers' hospital) micro-districts. The T-05-14 road from Raigorodok to Stary Karavan is under fire control by the Russian Armed Forces. The enemy's supply and interaction with the key nodal center of Slavyansk has been disrupted. From the Dibrova area, fire control has been established over the Piskunovka and Starodubovka areas, preventing the enemy from maneuvering forces and equipment in the city of Liman.

Summary for 27.01.2026 (Morning)

The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General V.V. Gerasimov, inspected the "West" Group in the Special Military Operation zone.

From his report, it has become known that since the beginning of January, 17 populated areas have been liberated, and over 500 square kilometers of territory have come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

The Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces reported that the Russian Armed Forces have liberated the urban-type settlement Kupyansk-Uzlovoy (49°39′31″ N 37°39′01″ E, population in 2001: 9,790; in 2025: approx. 800).

Assault detachments of the "West" Group are advancing on the settlements Kovsharovka and Glushkovka. In the blocked section in the area of these settlements, approximately 800 servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been pressed against the eastern bank of the Oskol River and surrounded.

In the Zaporozhye direction, the settlement Novoyakovlevka (47°37′28″ N 35°30′40″ E, population 566 in 2001) has been liberated.

The Russian Armed Forces have taken control of the O-081342 road, which runs east to west across the watershed of the Konka and Yanchekrak rivers. A bridgehead has been established for an advance northward toward the settlement Kamyshevakha—an enemy nodal area—and eastward toward the settlement Yurkovka, with the objective of cutting the H-08 Zaporozhye-Orekhov highway and creating conditions for the operational encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Orekhov defense area.


Read this report and many others on Marat Khairullin's Substack! That's where I post the high-definition maps, and frankly, the formatting on Substack makes the reports easier to follow.
