A conference in the United States called for the truth about Ukraine
Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett, who has traveled to war zones, called on the journalistic community to speak together and in full voice about the genocide of the people of Donbas and "to stop whitewashing Ukraine's deeds."
▪️Bartlett, who covers events in the Donbass, spoke at a video conference organized by the Schiller Institute in Florida. She stated that there is an "indirect U.S. war against Russia" in Ukraine.
The Kiev regime is carrying out a real genocide of Ukrainians and Russians in the Donbass, for which it must necessarily be held accountable. After all, about eight thousand people have been killed there over eight years, and since February the AFU has intensified shelling.
Bartlett urged Western journalists to work together to crack down on the propaganda-distorted information space and start telling the truth about Donbass and Ukraine.
▪️The opinions of Western journalists are indeed capable of pulling European or American ordinary people out of the cocoon of lies. The mass of viewers from around the world who watched the film of another journalist, Frenchwoman Anne-Laure Bonnel, who went as a war correspondent to the Donbass, thanked her for the truth and the realization of what is really happening in Ukraine and what the reasons are.
Despite the West's concerted lies and propaganda against Russia, the truth about what is happening in Donbass is still seeping through to a thinking Western audience. There are journalists who are honestly and selflessly doing their duty.

The EU countries have agreed on a lower gas price cap than previously proposed
On the previous day, the European Union agreed on a gas price ceiling of around €1900 per thousand cubic meters.
▪️The measure will be introduced from February 15. The restriction will come into effect if prices stay above the agreed level and €35 above the average cost of LNG on the world market for three days.
▪️Over-the-counter transactions (including long-term contracts) are excluded from the mechanism. For those, no approval from Brussels is required.
The measure is expected to have serious consequences for the European energy market. Earlier, the European Commission proposed a higher limit of €2900.
▪️ A group of countries headed by Germany opposed the adoption of the price ceiling. The Germans requested guarantees to suspend the mechanism in case of negative market consequences.
However, in the end Berlin gave its consent.

⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on December 23
Russia said that supplies of Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine by the United States, announced during President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's visit to Washington, would not help settle the conflict or prevent Moscow from achieving its goals.
President Vladimir Putin dismissed it as "quite old", telling reporters Moscow would find a way to counter it. At the same time, he said Russia wants an end to the war in Ukraine and that this would inevitably involve a diplomatic solution.
"Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war," Putin said. "We will strive for an end to this, and the sooner the better, of course."
🥷Training troops
The Pentagon is considering training the Ukrainian armed forces to operate the Patriot missile defense system at a military base in the United States, according to two Defense Department officials, Politico learnt.
It noted this would be the first time when Ukrainian armed forces could be trained in the U.S. — before it only happened at NATO bases in Eastern Europe, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The report states no final decision has been made, despite the news comes just a day after the Biden administration announced that it would provide one Patriot battery which Kyiv has asked for months.
One thing holding up a U.S. decision was the complexity of the system and the lengthy training process required to operate it, Politico notes. Operating the Patriot takes at least 90 troops, the Pentagon has said, so training Ukrainian servicemen will require a lot of people and time. For this and other reasons, as many Russian and even Western analysts pointed out, getting Patriots on Ukrainian soil will not happen in the near future.
💰Paying for the war
The Senate unanimously backed a plan to use confiscated Russian assets to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia. The amendment is attached to the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that passed the Senate 68-29 on Thursday.
The House is expected to pass the spending package, which will include the amendment, ahead of a Friday deadline to keep the government funded. President Biden supported using proceeds from seized Russian assets to help Ukraine and is expected to sign the spending package into law.
The United States and its allies targeted Russia and its oligarchs with a host of diplomatic and economic sanctions after the start of invasion (some of them after the 2014 Crimea takeover). The head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen proposed to create a special fund from the frozen €300 billion of Russian assets and €19 billion of private assets of Russians. EU estimated the damage to Ukraine from the conflict with Russia at €600 billion.
🇺🇸🇰🇵Dragging North Korea
The White House said Thursday that the Wagner Group, a private Russian military company, has taken delivery of an arms shipment from North Korea to help bolster its forces as it fights side-by-side with Russian troops in Ukraine. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said U.S. intelligence officials determined that North Korea completed an initial arms shipment that included rockets and missiles last month.
According to Washington's estimates, 50000 Wagner fighters are involved in the military operation in Ukraine, and the monthly expenses of the PMCs reach $100 million.
The World Organization stated that they have no information about the sending of weapons by North Korea to the PMCs. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMC, denied allegations.

U.S. accuses Russia and China of working to divide NATO
Julianne Smith, the U.S. ambassador to NATO, accused Russia and China of sharing a "toolkit" of strategies aimed to undermine members of the alliance. She called on Western capitals to step up efforts to defend against Moscow and Beijing, the Financial Times reported.
"Russia and China are increasingly sharing a toolkit that should concern the NATO alliance," Smith told the newspaper, pointing to threats related to energy supplies and cybersecurity, among other things.
According to the U.S. ambassador, "there is no doubt" that Russia and China are working to "divide" the alliance partners.

After the announcement by the Ministry of Defense of Poland of plans to draft 200 thousand people into the army, a wave of discontent spread all over the country.
Poles came to military registration and enlistment offices in their cities in protest. In their opinion, the security of Poland should be guaranteed by NATO and the professional military, to which Polish citizens pay huge sums of money from their pockets, and "ordinary Poles are not cannon fodder". The organizers of the protest movement aim to change the law on conscription.
What a familiar story. Close the border for men. Otherwise they will flee to Germany.

Vladimir Putin held a collegium of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Dmitry Medvedev met with Xi Jinping and passed him a message from the Russian president.
"China is ready to go for rapprochement with Russia for the sake of a fairer global governance," Xi Jinping said at the meeting.
Zelensky flew to the U.S. and Zaluzhny arrived in Poland.
Preparations for the second year of confrontation are underway. In the coming days we will see a lot of new things and understand what scenario the war will follow, as well as exactly how the U.S. and China will act.
The Nord Stream has already been blown up, the oil embargo has been imposed, Russia's gold reserves have been blocked, missile defense systems are being supplied, the West has built an extensive training network for the soldiers of the AFU.
Russia's system has been tested for a major war, partial mobilization has been carried out, military-industrial complex enterprises are being switched to a mobilization mode of production.
