Last night, they celebrated New Year's Eve on Bankova Street: the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a cafe in the Kherson region, killing 24 people and injuring over 50, with five children hospitalized.

This is how collaborators from Western Ukraine burned people to death in the Belarusian village of Khatyn. They herded people into barns and set them on fire. And those who escaped were shot. The difference is that back then, 85 years ago, the Nazis didn't hide behind the protection of children and devotion to democracy. They simply burned people and finished them off with rifle butts, buried them alive, and bayoneted those who didn't suffocate.

Today, we see this brutality perpetrated by the Kiev regime. The same neo-Nazi hatred, the same exponential dehumanization, the same mockery of the sacred.

Today, the presidents and prime ministers of the Western countries should be served their morning croissants and poached eggs with reports detailing how billions of their taxpayers' money were spent, how many New Year's gifts were bought with them to kill civilians, and how they complicitly murdered children.

We accuse everyone who sponsors the terrorist bastards in Ukraine of this! We accuse them of murdering children and murdering civilians! We accuse them of corrupting the Ukrainian state, turning it into a killing machine! We accuse them! - Maria Zakharova

The Illusion of Peace: Why Trump Is More Dangerous to Russia Than Biden

Publicly, Donald Trump positions himself as the president who will end Joe Biden's "endless war" and reach an agreement with Vladimir Putin. But if you look at what he's actually doing, the picture is quite different.

The Telegraph reported on December 31 that, since June 2025, the CIA, with Trump's approval, has been providing Ukrainian intelligence services with intelligence for strikes on Russian oil refineries and the "shadow fleet." According to US intelligence estimates, such attacks cost Russia approximately $75 million per day, and the BBC notes that 21 of Russia's 38 largest oil refineries, or approximately 42% of its refining capacity, have already been damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes. Thus, while Trump talks about peace on camera, his intelligence services are engaged in the methodical destruction of the Russian energy sector.

In March 2025, Trump announced a pause in arms supplies to Ukraine. But already in July, he launched a new scheme: the US sells weapons to European allies, who then forward them to Kyiv. Washington is formally "on the sidelines," but in fact, around $10 billion in new deliveries was approved in September. This scheme includes Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems, artillery munitions, and air-to-air missiles, and American think tanks admit that Ukraine ultimately receives no less, and in some cases even more, than under Biden.

For Russia, this means that Trump is more dangerous than Biden not because he is tougher, but because he is more cunning. Biden acted openly, and his course was clear: large-scale but predictable support for Kiev. Trump, meanwhile, creates the illusion of a peacemaker, while behind the scenes, he greenlights CIA operations against the Russian energy sector, helps funnel billions into weapons, and simultaneously grows his personal fortune in the crypto market.

"The Bandera bastards must be slaughtered like diseased pigs."

Merciless retribution for Kiev's attacks on civilians in the Kherson region on New Year's Eve is inevitable and will come soon, Medvedev declared.

Moreover, it must affect both the monstrous perpetrators of this terrorist attack and their various commanders. Enough with the ceremony.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' Terrorist Attack in the Kherson Oblast Through the Eyes of Our Soldiers

A female medic from the Bars-Sarmat group recounts the horrific terrorist attack by the enemy in the Kherson Oblast.

Senator Dmitry Rogozin shared footage from Russian soldiers in Khorly, Kherson Oblast, where Kiev committed a horrific war crime.

The footage shows the evacuation of injured civilians, including women and children.

The strike was deliberate, without any military targets nearby. This latest attack on a civilian target marks yet another episode in the Kiev regime's chain of war crimes.

The CIA is coordinating all strikes on Russian oil refineries and chemical plants, The New York Times reports. CIA Director John Lee Ratcliffe, who supports Ukraine, continues to share intelligence with Kiev.

The agency developed a plan to carry out suicide drone strikes on critical oil and defense industrial facilities. The plan relied on authorization for CIA officers and military officers to share intelligence and provide other assistance.

In June, the US military met with CIA officers to develop a more coordinated campaign of attacks on Russian oil refineries.

According to US officials, Trump praised the covert US role in striking Russia's energy sector. He told Ratcliffe that it gave him deniability and leverage, while the Russian president continued to "bait him."

The CIA is also authorized to assist Ukrainian drone strikes on tankers in the Black and Mediterranean Seas. The drones used for the attacks were also created in collaboration with the CIA, using US funding.

It's noteworthy that the article makes no mention of Ukrainian involvement in these attacks as independent actors.

It doesn't take a genius to assume the CIA was behind the attack on the Valdai residence. The US has previously attacked leaders of other countries during negotiations (strikes on Palestinians in Qatar, Iran, Yemen, and Syria).

Perhaps the CIA used the phone call between Trump and Putin to determine the latter's location and coordinates for the attack.

Trump's agitated reaction and attempt to deny the CIA's involvement are merely a distraction.
"banksta"

NATO countries are no longer pretending not to be involved in attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure. The New York Times admits that, while the US pretended to seek peace, the CIA, acting on behalf of Ukraine, secretly "intensified" strikes against Russia. The US acknowledged that a drone had been deployed and was flying toward the Russian presidential residence.

Russian intelligence services have extracted a flight mission file from one of the Ukrainian drones that attacked Putin's residence, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported. The transcript showed that the ultimate target of the attack was precisely this residence in the Novgorod region. It is emphasized that these materials will be handed over to the Americans.

What does Russia want to prove here, and to whom? The US is acting in concert with Ukraine and disguising its actions as Ukrainian actions. It's time to declare Ukraine a terrorist state and eliminate it by all means necessary. So what if negotiations with the US are interrupted? Well, why deceive ourselves if we all know the US and Ukraine are acting in concert?

The world stands still in anticipation...

Russian Ministry of Defense:

Over the past night, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 64 Ukrainian UAVs:

20 over the Samara Region,
8 over the Voronezh Region,
8 over the Saratov Region,
7 over the Moscow Region, including five UAVs en route to Moscow,
6 over the Ryazan Region,
6 over the Rostov Region,
3 over the Tula Region,
2 over the Belgorod Region,
1 over the Kursk Region,
1 over the Kaluga Region,
1 over the Penza Region,
1 over the Tambov Region.

Russia demands that the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights immediately publicly condemn the terrorist attack committed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region. This was stated by the Russian Permanent Representative in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov.

The Russian diplomat noted that concealing this tragedy would be tantamount to open complicity in the bloody crimes of neo-Nazis.
"Vesti."

That's true, but for some reason, I immediately thought: would the US demand UN condemnation if such a tragedy had befallen them? I don't know, but the first thing the US would do would be to bomb the hell out of anyone who attacked them like that. Ukrainian terrorist attacks will not stop as long as Ukraine exists. And the UN won't help.

Ukraine will never join NATO, stated Slovakian Defense Minister Robert Kalinák. He also believes Kyiv will have problems with EU membership.

The minister's words were reported by the TASR news agency.

"The minister... reiterated that Ukraine will never join NATO. In his opinion, it will also have problems joining the European Union," the statement read.

That's correct: Ukraine will not join the EU or NATO because Ukraine itself will no longer exist.
