🇺🇦 AND THESE ARE THE GOOD GUYS - THEY SAY: The Ukrainian Armed Forces are seen to fire at civilians' houses in Russia's #Kursk region during their incursion, despite the lack of resistance.

The footage shows a group of Ukrainian servicemen who are moving from house to house, shooting at civilian homes - but nobody puts up a fight. 🤷‍♂

Real brave, guys.

🇷🇺 "INTERNATIONAL ORGS ARE "PRIVATIZED" BY THE WEST" - Russian FM Lavrov.

We are very concerned where the secretariats of international organizations are all occupied by #NATO member states - Lavrov says.

Very true - which security orientated organization is headed by someone from the global-south? Besides maybe the World Health Organization, but #Tedros Ghebreyesus has a rather sketchy background....

No lies and fakes will help the Kiev regime, all goals of the Special Operation will be achieved.

The current regime in Ukraine does not even represent the interests of a most Ukrainian citizens - Lavrov says at a conference.

🇺🇦 "PUTIN WANTS TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM ENDING THIS WAR" - Zelensky voices bat-shit crazy ideas.

By "waving around" the #Oreshnik (Hazel) ballistic missile, Putin only wants to disrupt Trump's peace efforts, which will definitely happen after the inauguration, Zelly says.

Putin, on the other hand, explained his actions that by allowing Ukraine to use long-range Western weapons deep into Russian territory - he has a mirror response for that...

🇺🇸🇷🇺 "[INTERNATIONAL] #PEACEKEEPERS ARE ONLY POSSIBLE IN UKRAINE WHEN RUSSIA'S DEMANDS ARE SATISFIED" - Kremlin Spokesman #Peskov.

▪️ 🇸🇾 The militants' attack on Aleppo is an attack on #Syrian sovereignty;

▪️ Russia will give an appropriate response to attacks on its territory each & every time;

▪️ In order to reach a settlement trajectory (toward stationing peacekeepers), it is necessary to resolve the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict.

▪️🇷🇴 Russia is not interfering in the elections in #Romania or other countries & all accusations on this account are unfounded;

▪️🇯🇵 Russia was not the initiator of the curtailment of dialogue with #Japan. Japan's solidarity with the West's unfriendly line prevents any discussions on a peace treaty with Japan.

For context, Japan is seeking visa-free access for its citizens to the Kuril Islands, territory which Russia obtained on the results of WWII. Such visa-free access existed until Japan took a pro-Western line with anti-Russian sanctions. Now, Japan seeks a new "peace treaty" with Russia - having not removed the sanctions. 🤷

🇭🇺 "I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO DROP SUCH A BOMB...IT HAS SUCH DESTRUCTIVE POWER!" - Hungarian PM #Orban warns of the dangers of the #Oreshnik (Hazel) ballistic missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The Russians did launch a missile, the capabilities of which we did not know. It is an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads. I do not want to bore anyone with technical parameters, but I have familiarized myself with such a nuclear warhead & would not want anyone to drop it.... It has such destructive power!

This demonstration of weapons made us all think. And I really hope that it will make not only us, but also Western Europeans, be careful - Orban.

NATO PLANS TO CARVE UP UKRAINE UNDER SUGGESTION OF "PEACEKEEPERS" - Russian Foreign Intelligence.

The West is planning to freeze the conflict & occupy Ukraine to rebuild Kiev’s armed forces. Around 100,000 peacekeeping forces are planned for as follows:

🇷🇺 Far East - is under Russian control.
🇷🇴 Black Sea coast - occupied by Romania;
🇵🇱 Western regions - by Poland;
🇩🇪 Center and East - by Germany;
🇬🇧 Northern regions, including the capital - by the UK.
🇭🇺 Far Southwest - to Hungary (map loosely correlates to the Russian intel analysis.)

Intelligence suggests that German officials plan to replicate the experience of Nazi invaders during WWII when they turned to Bandera* sympathizers to establish control of the area.

*Stepan Bandera, known to Hitler as "Consul II" in now declassified CIA files, fought for Nazi forces & is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of Poles, Russians & Jews. Seriously, look it up on the CIA website!

🇫🇮 WOOPSIE, I STUBBED MY BRAIN: FINLAND SHOWS LOWEST TRADE TURNOVER SINCE ANTI-RUSSIAN SANCTIONS.

Finland was one of the first to close its border with Russia - discriminating not only against Russian residents but also curtailing trade with its neighbors.

🇺🇿🇸🇾🇹🇷🇷🇺 Empire’s Proxies: The Uzbek Mercenaries of Aleppo and the West’s Desperation

In Aleppo, the echoes of foreign voices betray the latest chapter in the empire’s relentless war. Uzbek-speaking mercenaries, under the banner of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), have infiltrated Syria’s west, not to liberate, but to destabilize. They are no rebels. They are hired terrorists, pawns of agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, carrying out yet another front in the imperial proxy war. Their language alone, Uzbek, not Arabic exposes the farce of their so-called “resistance.”

This is not about Syria alone. It is the empire lashing out, desperate to reverse its losing streak in the de facto World War III unfolding before our eyes. In Ukraine, Russia is finalizing NATO’s humiliation, systematically dismantling its military and economic gambits. The Ukranian front is more than a battlefield, it’s a graveyard for Western ambitions. But as NATO is defeated in Ukraine, the empire shifts its fury back to Syria, a nation that, with Russia’s unwavering support, defeated the West’s terror apparatus once before.

The timing is no coincidence. Israel, the empire’s relentless enforcer, violated its fragile truce with Hezbollah, reigniting tensions across the region. And now, in Aleppo, HTS mercenaries appear, dispatched to open another front of chaos. This is the empire’s playbook: when direct confrontation fails, it sends its proxies, terrorists for hire, flooding sovereign nations with bloodshed to prolong their suffering.

Then there’s Erdogan. The eternal fence-sitter, straddling NATO’s ambitions and his promises of respecting Syria’s territorial integrity. It’s time for him to choose: will Turkey stand with Russia and Syria to secure the region’s future, or will Erdoğan continue to enable the mercenaries that threaten it? He cannot serve two masters, and his neo-Ottoman ambitions are wearing thin.

The empire’s desperation is palpable. Unable to inspire genuine local rebellion, it imports mercenaries, speaking foreign tongues in lands they have no claim to, their loyalty bought by Western intelligence agencies. This isn’t a fight for freedom; it’s a business model of chaos, exported by the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, designed to fragment nations that defy their hegemony.

But Syria and its allies have seen this all before. With Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah at its side, Damascus will hold the line. Aleppo is more than a city; it’s a symbol of resistance, a frontline in the global struggle against imperial terror and tyranny.

As Russia closes NATO’s chapter in Ukraine, it stands shoulder to shoulder with Syria against this new wave of Western aggression. The empire may send its proxies, but its era of dominance is fading. Aleppo will resist. Syria will endure. And Russia’s triumphs will echo far beyond the battlefield, as the multipolar world continues its rises from the empire’s ruins.
