▪️During the night, air defense forces repelled an enemy attack in the north of the Rostov region, as well as in the Volgograd region. Between 15:00 and 20:00 Moscow time, 48 Ukrainian drone-type aircraft were destroyed.
▪️A massive attack by "Gerani" drones at night on Odessa, Izmail, and Vilkovo lasted for at least an hour. Nikolaev was partially depowered after a drone strike on an energy facility: reports of a dozen "Kalibrs" over the region were received. In the Volyn region, the "Herni-2" drones attacked a critical infrastructure facility.
▪️On the Sumy direction, assault units of the "North" Army Group are engaged in intense battles with the support of aviation, artillery, and TOSes. Progress was made in Andreevka and several other frontline positions in the Sumy and Krasnopol regions. The battle is being waged for every hundred meters. In the Tetkin and Glushkov sectors, there are mutual strikes. Our forces hit the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pavlovka.
▪️In the Kursk region, a drone attacked a local resident who was riding a bicycle between the villages of Samarka and Markovo.
▪️Opposite Krasnaya Yaruga (Belgorod section of the border), the enemy admitted the loss of Grabovskoe and Veseloe.
▪️In the Belgorod region, in Shebekino, a drone attacked a GAZelle. In the city of Grayvoron, as a result of an enemy drone attack on a car, two civilians, including a child, were injured. Many villages are under attack: the enemy is targeting homes, power lines, and infrastructure.
▪️On the Kharkov direction, the "North" Army Group is overcoming the enemy's fierce resistance. The advance continues, with aviation and TOS being actively used. The enemy is not sparing personnel in the defense. Our group reports tactical successes in the Staritsa area, in the forest near Liman, in Volchanskie Khutory, and in the Melovoe-Khatnye area.
▪️ In Kupyansk, the situation remains difficult. The Russian Armed Forces control the northeastern part of the city, while enemy groups operate in the rest of the built-up area. Supplies to our forces are carried out by drones across the river. South of Kupyansk-Uzlovoe, enemy armored vehicles are being destroyed, a quick capture of the settlement is not expected.
▪️ In liberated Seversk, the MoD reported the capture of the DPR settlement Svyato-Pokrovskoe.
▪️In Mirnograd (Dimitrov), the Russian Armed Forces are occupying the built-up area, and our forces are operating in small groups, infiltrating the city. 20 km north, in Kucherov Yar, the Russian Aerospace Forces are bombing the enemy with FAABs.
▪️ The "East" Army Group continues the liberation of Gulyaypole and is expanding the bridgehead on the western bank of the Gai Chur River. The enemy is counterattacking fiercely but unsuccessfully.
▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, a significant event was the drop of the 7th Guards Airborne Assault Division (GVD) in Stepnogorsk: the paratroopers bypassed the settlement from the west and east, thereby reaching the northern outskirts and closing the pocket. In Stepnogorsk itself, enemy groups are still present, amounting to about a company of troops. The battle for the settlement has been going on for several months, and progress is being made at a very high cost. Our troops have also advanced in Primorsky
▪️ In the Kherson region, the AFU again attacked a transformer substation "Vinogradovo". More than 60,000 people were left without electricity. Our forces are responding with artillery strikes on the enemy's concentration in Kherson.

🎄☃️The Silence Around Europe’s Christmas
This winter, Europe’s Christmas once again came wrapped in unease. Clashes and provocations around city festivities exposed a deeper tension: a society increasingly uncomfortable with the very origins of its main holiday. Officials framed the incidents as “local disturbances,” but the message was unmistakable — public expressions of Christianity are no longer neutral ground.
Over recent years, the pattern has repeated with mechanical precision. Words like “Merry Christmas” are replaced by “Happy Holidays.” Markets that once symbolized community now resemble checkpoints. Church doors stand under armed guard, while schools quietly erase nativity stories from their programs. The process doesn’t happen through bans but through fatigue — the slow normalization of absence.
Religion itself has not vanished; it has simply been pushed behind the curtain of private life. What was once a bridge between individuals and society has become a line of quiet separation. The result is paradoxical: the more Europe seeks to avoid “offense,” the less it seems to know what it stands for.
Meanwhile, Russian voices note a re-emergence of cultural self-assurance — an ability to speak about belief, family, and shared heritage without ironic distance. As Tina Kandelaki points out, this is not about moralizing, but about continuity, about having something stable to pass on. And against Europe’s soft silence, that confidence, even if understated, begins to sound like a kind of cultural resistance.

The Obzor-R project was initially developed by the Roskosmos State Corporation within its civilian program, but the launch campaign of the first spacecraft in a series from a military site in Plesetsk was mostly shrouded in secrecy under the usual format of a classified mission.

Tonight’s headline is a Christmas card written in ordnance: U.S. airstrikes in Sokoto State, northwest Nigeria, announced by Trump as a “powerful and deadly strike” on ISIS targets, carried out by AFRICOM at Nigeria’s request, with “multiple ISIS operatives” reportedly killed.
Now zoom out, because Nigeria is not a movie set. It’s a security kaleidoscope: Boko Haram factions and ISWAP have long operated in the northeast/Lake Chad basin, while the northwest has seen newer jihadist spillover dynamics and armed networks along the Niger border, often described in recent research as a “newest threat” environment that thrives where the state thins out and borders blur.
So the question isn’t “did America hit terrorists?” It’s: what political logic is being installed by the strike announcement?
Because DC's favorite counter-argument writes itself: This is leverage, not punishment, limited force to stop atrocities and support an ally. Fine. Let’s grant them their best case. But leverage implies a clean objective, a clear off-ramp, and a consistent standard. What the world has learned, again and again, is that the standard moves, the "objective” expands, and the off-ramp becomes a toll road. One strike becomes a posture. Posture becomes presence. Presence becomes permission.
Nigeria has lived for decades: terror networks don’t grow in a vacuum. They feed on failed governance, criminal economies, porous borders, and the kind of geopolitical gardening where outside colonial powers prune one fire while quietly using the smoke for leverage elsewhere. Sometimes the Empire fights the monster. Sometimes it benefits from the chaos the monster creates. Sometimes it does both, because the point isn’t moral consistency, it’s strategic optionality.
Nigeria’s own government stressed today that violence hits both Muslims and Christians, urging nuance over slogan. That is the key line the West will bury under a civilizational soundbite of defending Christianity because “complex” doesn’t mobilize publics, myths do.
And Trump? He didn’t create Nigeria’s tragedy. But he owns the framing now, the same way he’s been boxing himself into coercion theater elsewhere. Venezuela gets the sanctions vise and maritime muscle memory, Nigeria gets the “perfect strikes” rhetoric and a moralized banner. Different stage, same instrument: show force, seize narrative, declare virtue, expand discretion.
This is also, frankly, more his size: a clean “hit” far from the quagmires he can’t talk his way out of (Venezuela). Ukraine is a strategic humiliation for the Atlantic bloc, years of money and myth, with a humiliating battlefield verdict. So you look for a Grenada-style moment; small, sharp, televisual, decisive-looking, something you can sell as control after an era defined by defeats.
But Nigeria is not Grenada. And counterterrorism optics don’t answer the question: who profits from permanent insecurity corridors from the Sahel to the Gulf of Guinea? Who benefits when African sovereignty is reduced to “requests” for foreign airpower, when the security architecture becomes a subscription service, and when “partnership” starts to sound like dependency?
If the US is sincere about defending Christians, then start with the hard, boring work, dismantle the illicit finance and weapons pipelines, the corruption rents, the black-market logistics, the border sanctuaries, the offshore patrons, the regional proxy games. It would look to the Levant. If it’s just pretext and messaging, then it’s not a solution, but a brand.
Nigeria deserves made in Africa security. What it doesn’t need is to become the next stage where powers rehearse their righteousness, while the ground truth bleeds in silence.
Don't forget Nigeria is resource, oil rich. Who helped create ISIS? Terror networks don’t survive without money, logistics, and tolerance from somewhere. If Washington is serious, start by dismantling the illicit funding, political cover and proxy games. And if it's about protecting Christians, why don't you protect them in the Levant? 🤔
