⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on December 21
🇺🇲🇺🇦 Zelensky goes US
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is off for a Washington visit on Wednesday to meet President Biden, hold a press conference at the White House and address a joint session of Congress, a senior administration official told reporters.
Biden will announce an additional $1.8 billion in security assistance to Ukraine during the expected visit, a significant boost in aid headlined by the Patriot missile systems within the package, a US official told CNN. It is believed Zelensky had not left Ukraine since Russia invaded on Feb. 24.
🔴Commander-in-Chief
Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the special military operation zone when he worked at the joint headquarters of the SVO troops on December 16, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported citing press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Andrei Gurulev wrote in his Telegram channel that the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was in the zone of a special military operation.
"If he [Gurulev] means the headquarters where he [Putin] was on Friday, then yes," Rossiyskaya Gazeta quotes Peskov's answer to the question about the president's visit to the zone of his own.
⚠️Nuclear brotherhood
Russia and Belarus are adopting the practice of the United States and its NATO allies in the nuclear sphere, Kommersant notes referring to recent statements of Presidents Vladimir Putin and Alexander Lukashenko. Following their meeting in Minsk, it was announced that the planes of the Belarusian Air Force have already been converted for the use of ammunition with a special - that is, nuclear — warhead, and their crews are now undergoing the necessary retraining.
Meanwhile, Russia has been reproaching NATO for many years that such cooperation contradicts the "spirit and letter" of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Russian Foreign Ministry, however, assured Kommersant that the Russian-Belarusian draft of the NPT.
The paper asked several experts, including the director of the arms control program of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) William Alberque, who authored a paper arguing that Russian claims to NATO's "joint nuclear missions" are untenable, whether the Russian-Belarus cooperation contradicts NPT.
He held that cooperation between Russia and Belarus also does not constitute a violation of the NPT. "At first glance, no, the training of Belarusian pilots on how to deliver a nuclear device does not contradict the NPT. This would be a violation of the NPT only if Russia granted Belarus control over nuclear weapons in peacetime. But it seems that this is not part of the plan," the expert said.
Even if Russian nuclear weapons are deployed directly on the territory of Belarus, but remain completely under the control of the Russian Federation, this, according to him, also cannot be considered a violation of the NPT.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said agreement reached by Russia and Belarus is “a necessary reaction to the purposeful development of the long-term practice of the so-called "joint nuclear missions" of NATO”.

Do Russians chaotically shell residential buildings in Maryinka?
Since the first day of the Special Operation, Ukraine has been accusing Russia of shelling residential buildings (which in no way prevents it from continuous shelling of Donetsk).
How Ukrainian propaganda is using the videos of personnel of the Russian Armed Forces - see it in our Anti-Fake section.
▪️ Street battles for Maryinka being passed off as shelling of residential buildings .
▪️ Residential buildings being used by the AFU as firing positions.

What Zelenskyy wants — but is unlikely to get — from Biden
Both Biden and Zelenskyy want to solidify support for Ukraine with the incoming U.S. Congress, though they have slightly different goals.
When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lands in Washington Wednesday, he will come with one of his biggest requests of the U.S. since Russia invaded his country nearly 300 days ago — and he might not get the answer he wants.
Zelenskyy’s visit to the U.S., where he is set to meet President Joe Biden and to address members of Congress, came as a shock to senior U.S. officials.
Now that the in-person meeting is confirmed, officials say to expect a standoff over weapons and an attempt by both Biden and Zelenskyy to use the meeting to woo the incoming Congress.
“He needs longer-range weapons to enable him to preempt an expected Russian offensive,” said Bill Taylor, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. “He needs immediate financial support to keep his government running, and he knows that Congress will make decisions on these items this week.”
During the meeting with Biden and his national security team, the Ukrainian delegation is expected to make another round of pleas for long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, and Grey Eagle and Reaper drones, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
But U.S. officials aren’t ready to budge. The Biden White House has flatly rejected sending the ATACMS. Sending long-range missiles to Kyiv could risk provoking Putin using potentially even more lethal weapons inside Ukraine.

Key statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov:
- This year's main result is that is has been finally clarified who can be trusted and who cannot.
- Russia's actions have ensured the failure of the West's geopolitical game.
- The West's hysterical reaction to Russia's special military operation confirms that it was absolutely necessary.
- The West's silent support for Kiev's murder of the Russian population shows that Nazis are once again on the rise in the world.
- The transition to multipolarity will be a long era, the West will resist.

The US military industrial complex threw a lavish banquet in honour of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The US military industrial complex is profiting from weapon supplies to Ukraine and has no intention to hide it.
▪️ An expensive party was held in Washington on the occasion of the 31st anniversary of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the US administration members and Ukrainian diplomats invited.
▪️The expenses were paid by major US arms corporations: Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Pratt & Whitney and Lockheed Martin.
▪️The companies even put their logos on the invitations.
▪️The situation where weapon producers throw a banquet for the country they arm has caused a great resonance.
"Ukrainian diplomats should have known better than throwing celebrations with contractors who are raking in the cash thanks to this terrible war," Breitbart quoted Carnegie Center scholar Matt Dass as saying.
▪️Such cynicism shows once again that for the US Ukraine is just a way to make "blood money".

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦The USA cannot guarantee sustainable aid for Kiev
"Ukraine’s counteroffensive, so successful when launched in late summer, has stalled along both the southern and eastern fronts, allowing Russian forces to dig in. The cold winter has slowed the fighting, but Ukrainian military officials warned that recent Russian troop and tank movements could telegraph another major assault in the weeks ahead, perhaps even toward Kyiv," Politico claims.
In the event of such a scenario, Biden faces a significant problem. How will Congress (with a Republican majority) behave? It has already announced the intention to reduce financial and military support to Ukraine, or to launch inspections and audits of this aid.

The number of homeless Ukrainian refugees in the UK has risen by almost 30% in a month, The Times reports.
According to the publication, this is due to the fact that host British families stopped supporting them and the "Home for Ukraine" refugee assistance programme has come to an end.
The newspaper quoted government figures as saying that over 2,000 families with children and another 900 people were officially homeless.
The British media earlier warned that around 50,000 Ukrainian refugees in the country may be left homeless because the government has no plan to house them alternative to the "Home for Ukraine" programme.
