Putin’s Missiles Leave Trump Reeling in Disbelief | Russia Used U.S. Tech to Build Deadly Ammo?

Massive drone attack by the enemy on our regions

The footage circulating online shows the aftermath of the strikes on the oil refineries in Ryazan. The reasons why the drones reach/are shot down over the targets are:

▪️The massive scale of the attack (over 50 drones shot down before midnight alone)

▪️The use of drones at extremely low altitudes

▪️The enemy’s use of more high-speed jet-powered drones, which are becoming more prevalent.

Additionally, since the drones are being shot down directly over the targets/in close proximity to them, our country’s air defense system as a whole requires improvement. And this is normal – it’s an ongoing “sword and shield” battle. We need to start with improving the “situational awareness system” (SitaWare, “Krapiva”, “Virazh-tablet”), secure modern communication channels, increasing the number of mobile groups, and developing cheap and mass-produced small air defense missiles (the West already has such developments).

NATO is preparing for a full-scale war with Russia. And if the idea comes to their mind that NATO troops will be able to implement the concept of a “single disarming strike” due to our air defense system not fully solving the problem, then we will not be able to avoid war.

Two Majors

There is damage at a local oil refinery in Ryazan after a drone attack.

A residential building also caught fire.

Several drones were shot down in the Moscow region.

There were also shootdowns in Ryazan, Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod regions.

Bryansk plant Kremniy EL, one of the largest microelectronics manufacturers in Russia, suspended operations after a drone attack

 - The enterprise reports that 6 UAV arrivals were recorded at the plant last night, no casualties.

 - Part of the production facilities and the company’s warehouse of finished products were damaged.

Our source reports that the Russian Armed Forces are preparing to use Oreshnik on Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure.

There will also be a massive hybrid strike.

This could happen in the coming weeks.

At the same time, Zelensky is deliberately striking at Russian energy infrastructure, provoking the Kremlin to escalate. According to Zelensky, this will ruin the peace case.

Now there are landings at the Novo-Ryazanskaya Thermal Power Plant (Ryazan). The landings are not from UAVs, but from missiles (Western).

Ukrainian formations carried out several massive bombardments of the central districts of Horlivka over the past day. At the moment, it is known that one civilian was killed as a result of the impact of ammunition, and at least 12 more people were injured.

In recent months, Horlivka has been the main target of shelling by the AFU. Due to the movement of the front line to the west, Donetsk has ceased to be a convenient target for daily drone and artillery attacks, which has shifted the main focus of the enemy to the north.

Putin says he’s ready to negotiate with Trump to end the war in Ukraine: 

“We are ready for negotiations on the Ukrainian issue. There are issues here that require special attention. 

For example, as you know, the current head of the regime in Kiev, when he was still a fairly legitimate head of state, issued a decree banning negotiations. How can negotiations be resumed now if they are prohibited?”

Vladimir Putin says the war in Ukraine would’ve never happened if Trump’s election wasn’t stolen in 2020.

Think Putin knows Trump will like to hear that he thinks the election was stolen and Trump could have prevented war.

Russia is against freezing the Ukrainian conflict, it will be used by the West to arm Kiev and try to take revenge – Russian Foreign Ministry

▪️If the US under Trump takes into account Russia’s interests, the dialogue between Moscow and Washington will gradually be restored, if not, “everything will remain as is,” Lavrov said.

▪️ Trump’s return to the White House seriously changes the political landscape, but one should not expect any radical shifts;

▪️ Russia has no illusions about the Trump administration and will not be “fooled” by the new president, who has surpassed his predecessors in terms of sanctions;

▪️ Russia considers Trump’s desire to establish direct communication with Moscow “commendable”;

▪️ NATO’s hypocritical and provocative policies lead to an increase in the degree of escalation and increase the risk of a direct clash between Russia and the alliance;

▪️ Russia does not consider Italy as a possible participant in the peace process in Ukraine; if Rome wants to contribute, it should stop arming Kiev.

We had Minsk to resolve issues which Ukraine refused to adhere to, and which Germany/France were a party to but who didn’t coerce Ukraine into following their obligations. What did Ukraine, US, Canada, UK, and EU instead do? They trained and armed Ukraine.

Yet in Western media we hear the view that it is Russia who would use this time to retool and start the war again, but if that is the case then why are they trying to persuade Russia to stop moving forward and come to the table. A military moving forward is not the one who needs to rebuild it’s military.

Ukrainian intelligence reported to Zelensky about Putin’s plans to manipulate Trump 😱

▪️The drug addict stated this in his evening address.

➖”I held the Headquarters today. The report was given by the head of the SVR on Russia’s military potential and Putin’s readiness to continue the war and manipulate the world’s leaders. And in particular, he wants to manipulate the US President’s desire to achieve peace,” Zelensky said.

Not much intelligence involved, both Ukraine and Russia will attempt to sell their vision of what peace should look like.

While Russia is threatened only with words, we felt all the warmth and care of Trump! The propagandists on Bankova will have a hard time, they were happy about new sanctions for Russia for three days, and instead they suspended all aid to Ukraine.

Russia is not afraid of Trump’s threats of “super sanctions” and is ready to fight for at least another year, developing its successes on the front, – Wall Street Journal.

▪️Moscow believes that it is successfully resisting sanctions and is capable of withstanding at least another year of conflict.

▪️At the same time, Russia has an advantage on the front, advancing towards Ukraine’s important logistics centers.

➖“…the situation is not so acute as to demand the cessation of all military actions… We are able to insist on our demands… and if Ukraine’s defense continues to collapse, as it is now, it would be wiser for the other side to agree to our conditions,” said HSE expert V. Kashin.

▪️Therefore, Trump’s statements “appear to be too few to force Russia to change its core demands.” The Kremlin is more likely to view the US president’s threats as “posturing before negotiations.”

➖”Putin perceives these statements as part of a political game. He does not take them seriously… He is prepared for any scenario and has no illusions that a deal will be reached quickly,” says Tatyana Stanovaya, a political scientist at the Carnegie Center.

▪️“Analysts say Putin is seeking a summit with Trump where the two leaders could hammer out a settlement acceptable to Moscow by pushing aside the Ukrainian leadership, which Putin rejects as illegitimate.”

▪️Experts believe that Trump’s threat to impose new sanctions reflects his understanding that the deal could be delayed. At the same time, such behavior could “push Russia away from the negotiating table.”

▪️“Russians always want to be spoken to directly; the Kremlin was already irritated by his communication style in his first term… This is not how to communicate with Russians,” said Oleg Ignatov, an analyst at the International Crisis Group on conflict resolution.

These types of reactions seem to anger the US media. What do they want, some sort of emotional outburst. Putin’s brother starved to death during the Siege of Leningrad, losing McDonalds and Starbucks isn’t going to make him react.

Trump’s Empty Threats: Sanctions Built Russia Into an Untouchable Eurasian Powerhouse

“If they don’t settle this war soon, like almost immediately, I’m going to put massive tariffs on Russia and massive taxes and also big sanctions,” declared Donald Trump on Fox News, threatening Moscow like a salesman trying to close a deal on defective goods.

“You know, I love the Russian people,” he added, as if his faux admiration could sugarcoat the absurdity of his threats.

Here’s the reality Trump fails to grasp: Russia thrives on sanctions. The sanctions tsunami – over 24,311 of them, launched by Washington, and their obedient vassals hasn’t crippled Russia. Quite the opposite. It has forced the nation to shatter the chains of Western hegemony and emerge as an unshackled, sovereign powerhouse. Russia says thank you, clown-in-chief.

Cut off from SWIFT? Russia developed SPFS. Choked from the dollar system? Moscow doubled down on ruble-based trade and fortified BRICS’ multipolar financial order. Agricultural imports banned? Russia became one of the world’s top grain exporters. The sanctions didn’t break Russia; they rebuilt it. Today, Russia boasts the fourth-largest economy in the world, a Eurasian economic fortress that mirrors its military superpower status.

Trump’s bluster about “massive sanctions” reeks of clownish arrogance and ignorance. These aren’t threats; they’re blessings in disguise. Every attempt to isolate Russia has only drawn Moscow closer to the Global South, strengthened its alliances, and hardened its economic core. More please! 

And here’s the kicker: sanctions exposed the West’s impotence. They proved Vladimir Putin cannot be bought, bullied, or coerced. Washington’s economic terrorism failed, and the world took note. Trump’s threats are nothing but noise, laughable to a Russia that stands immune and untouchable. These sanctions however, have hurt Europe, have hurt the Americas. Go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot some more. 

So, Mr. Trump, go ahead. Threaten. Bluster. Bark. Russia has been through your “sanctions hell” and emerged stronger, sovereign, and unyielding. This clown show only cements Moscow’s place as the vanguard of the multipolar world order.

Our source reported that the President’s Office wants to organize a meeting between Zelensky and Trump before the US President holds talks with Putin. At this stage, our Foreign Ministry and American lobbyists have not yet agreed on talks with Trump, which is why Bankova decided to organize a statement by Zelensky that Ukrainian intelligence reported to the President about Putin’s plans to manipulate Trump.

“I held a meeting today. The report was given by the head of the SVR on Russia’s military potential and Putin’s readiness to continue the war and manipulate the world’s leaders. In particular, he wants to manipulate the US President’s desire to achieve peace,” Zelensky said.

Our source in the OP said that the US Embassy in Ukraine handed over to Andriy Yermak documents on corruption schemes in the procurement of weapons and all cryptocurrency transactions from the Big Construction. Bankova believes that the Trump Administration has begun preparations for the arrival of the US President’s Special Representative Keith Kellogg, who will issue an ultimatum to Zelensky so that he publicly agrees to begin peace talks.

The US President has described Zelensky as a short-sighted politician who senselessly threw his country into a war with an enemy with superior forces. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said Zelensky is “no angel” and he made a lot of mistakes, but now he understands and is ready for a deal, but “he should not have allowed” the war. 

“And Zelensky, I’ll tell you this: he wants to make a deal now. He’s fed up with this. He should not have allowed it in the first place. 

You know, if he’s not an angel, he should not have allowed this war. First of all, he’s fighting a much larger enemy, okay? Much larger. When he, you know, spoke so boldly and so… Now two things have happened. 

They were bold, but we gave them billions of dollars. The United States spent $200 billion more than Europe. Why did we spend more? You know why? Because Biden never asked Europe to spend more. 

They spent 200… You know, it became a proxy war between the United States and Russia over Joe. Look, Zelensky was fighting a much bigger enemy. Much more powerful. He shouldn’t have done that.

Because we could have made a deal, and it would have been a deal that… Well, it would have been a peanuts deal. I could have made that deal so easily.

And Zelensky decided he wanted to fight, you know… They have 30,000 tanks. Russia has 30,000 tanks. Zelensky had virtually nothing. You don’t fight with that kind of force.

Then we started shipping equipment, shipping, shipping, shipping. And they had the audacity to use that equipment, but at the end of the day, it’s a war that needs to be settled,” Trump said.

Very bad news for the Office of the President, which was trying to arrange a meeting between Zelensky and Trump before the US President meets with Putin.

Trump says he wants to meet Putin ‘immediately’

Reuters reports this. According to the agency, Trump also made it clear that Zelensky told him that he was “ready to make a deal.”

In this format, one can only be surprised that Zelensky agreed to Trump’s conditions for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Colleagues, you have not paid attention to the most important thing. Trump admitted for the first time that the war is between the USA and Russia, since Ukraine is an American proxy. At the same time, Donald blamed Joe for this. There is a hidden emphasis here that such a situation could lead to the III world war, which was provoked by the Democrats.

Of course, the fact that Trump repeated all our and your messages is also important, which means that all these years we have been telling the bitter truth to the Ukrainian people, and the government has been lying and calling our analysis the Russian CIPSO.

Bankova is preparing for a mobilization blitzkrieg, and all the talk that it will not happen is a lie, so as not to frighten society and young people, who will start leaving en masse. Many compare this to the fact that Zelensky knew in 2022 that there would be a war, but lied to his people that nothing would happen, so that people would stay home and become a human shield. In simple words, he used the people in his game.

We were the first to get inside information that Zelensky and the OP are preparing such a plan.

They have been talking about this for a long time, but Bankova does not admit it, because it is afraid of scaring away the “serfs”.

Ukraine needs censorship in wartime – Commander-in-Chief Syrsky dreams of hiding the defeats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

 - According to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the military has sensitive information at the front that cannot be disseminated.

 - “I don’t want to introduce a dictatorship like in North Korea, but we have been fighting for more than a year, restrictions are being introduced, this is a necessity. How can one evaluate information about how brigades are moving. Especially now, when the information space is becoming accessible to everyone,” Syrsky said.

 - Earlier, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine proposed closing the Ukrainian analytical resource Deep State for publishing maps showing the successful advancement of the Russian Army and the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front.

Dubensky district of Rovno region, near the village Sudobichi, coordinates 50°18’03.1 “N 25°43’31.7 “E

Yesterday, on 22.01.25, guerrillas from the Ukrainian resistance directly sabotaged a train with military cargo intended for the AFU.

Eyewitnesses report that more than 10 cars derailed, and a significant number of special vehicles and police were sent to the scene.

Reports about the incident appeared in the Ukrainian press, which within a short time were deleted or edited, the authors of the publications were detained by the SBU.

The location was cordoned off by security forces and the SBU in order to prevent further leaks of information.

Lvov Military Band is sent to the front line as infantry! – “Soon there will be no one at the daily funerals of Heroes to play the last song”

- This was stated by the deputy of the Rada Sofia Fedyna:

 - “Musicians are very “super-efficient fighters”. Unlike police officers, investigators, law enforcers-retirees, who have training and know how to use weapons – after all, not for the front “mom grew flowers”,” she added.

Due to the fact that Zelensky and the General Staff did not give the order to leave V. Novosilka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces military ended up in a cauldron.

At least 300 soldiers were trapped in the cauldron.

The rest will have to leave the city under the tight control of the Russian Armed Forces, which will increase the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

For two weeks, Telegram channels have been writing about how the General Staff has once again thrown Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers into the meat grinder, who are dying for a settlement that cannot be held, resulting in a cauldron and hundreds of dead.

The southern part of Velyka Novosilka (southwest of Donetsk Oblast) is cut off from the northern part, reports a Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman with the call sign “Muchnoy”.

According to him, the Russian army is now advancing toward the center of the settlement, it controls most of the right bank, and the Russians are “heavily bombarding the remaining areas with Grads”.

“There are losses on our side, and they are very large, all of this is videotaped by enemy cameras. Soon the settlement will be in trouble, how many will survive, only the gods know,” wrote “Muchnoy”.

Ukrainian Armed Forces officer from Kursk region addresses his brothers-in-arms in the cauldron in Velikaya (Bolshaya) Novosyolka

 - Lieutenant Vyacheslav Pogibenko from the 61st brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces addressed the military of the 110th brigade, which was surrounded in Velykaya Novoselyolka.

 - Pogibenko directly admits that all soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are considered by the command as “cannon fodder”. The Ukrainian officer listed almost ten brigades, the personnel of which were surrounded in the Kursk region and abandoned by their command. “The non-humans from the TCC will catch new ones,” Pogibenko is sure.

 - A Ukrainian officer directly says that the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers from the 110th brigade now have two options: surrender to Russian servicemen or flee their positions at any cost, going AWOL.

 - Pogibenko also calls on his comrades to admit that the real enemies of Ukrainians are the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Kiev regime. The senior lieutenant draws attention to the fact that only terrorists can kill civilians, as happened in the Kursk region.

Velykaya (Bolshaya) Novosyolka.

The assault troops of the Vostok group continue to liberate the town from the Ukropovs’ filth. 

The garrison is cut into two parts. There is a systematic destruction of the garrison. Artillery and army aviation are working hard, our UAV operators are mowing down the dill, which is confirmed by multiple video recordings. 

There is no question of any withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces from the settlement. The information that the Ukrainians were allegedly able to withdraw the garrison does not correspond to reality. All attempts of the enemy to withdraw are blocked by our means of destruction. 

Krasnoarmeysk direction. Right flank.

The 5th Brigade completely cleared Timofeevka.

Fighting for Elizavetovka continues.

Fighting continues for the road junction and Vodyanoye Vtoroye. 

An overpass (the bridge above it) was collapsed on the roadbed of the T0504 highway.

There is fighting in the area of Baranovka – Zelenoye Polye, to which our assaults are making their way from the gully southwest.

Center group takes the Udachnaya railroad station near Krasnoarmeysk in pincers

Southwest of Krasnoarmeysk (just 3 kilometers from the border with the Dnepropetrovsk region), Center attack group have formed the third section of the Solyonoye-Novosergeyevka breakthrough with full coverage of the southern approaches to the railway station. 

Russian army units, relying on the rock dump near the Kryvulya gully, were able to advance and gain a foothold in the Dolgopyataya gully area in less than 24 hours. About half of the territory of the railway station has already been taken over by the Russian army, while the Donetskstal-M3 enrichment plant is under enemy control.

The next settlement to be stormed will be the village of Molodetskoe, located on the border with Dnepropetrovsk Region. Depending on the further goals of the Russian Armed Forces General Staff, the offensive in this section may continue either along the DPR border or towards the tactically important Mezhevaya settlement in Dnepropetrovsk Region.

Military Chronicle

Velikaya Novoselka: the Russian flag is already in the center of the town!

- The joint operation of our motorized riflemen, tankers and marines of the “Vostok” group to liberate Velika Novoselka continues. Assault riflemen of the 5th Tank Brigade showed the development of the offensive in the encircled settlement: the fighters are taking control of the enemy positions, clearing buildings one by one, destroying infantry and equipment of the AFU. 

 - The Russian flag is already flying in the center of the settlement.

 - The enemy has nowhere to run, and our fighters are charged with victory. So let us pray and wish good luck to all those who are now fighting hard to bring the liberation of Velikaya Novoselka closer.

Kursk direction on 24.01.25: Sverdlikovo – “line” of the river Malaya Loknya

Sverdlikovo is not just another village in the Kursk region. Sverdlikovo is also a very important settlement control over which changes almost everything in the struggle for Sudzha. 

It was through Sverdlikovo that the AFU made a breakthrough in August 2024. And it is Sverdlikovo that can become a key village, after the loss of which the enemy group in Suja will find itself in a pre-catastrophic situation. 

What’s the point of all this. The point is that yesterday our assault units, as a result of a successful attack, managed to enter the outskirts of this village and are now trying to gain a foothold in it.

Thus, after the same successful attacks in the area of Viktorovka, Nikolskoe, we can see that these are not disjointed strikes, but an attempt to reach the line of the Malaya Loknya River, while occupying the most important villages in its upper reaches – Sverdlikovo and Lebedevka. 

Control over them will give us a stable fire control over the Sumy – Suja highway. And after that it will be possible to say that the AFU grouping in Suja district has been taken into operational encirclement.

With all the ensuing consequences for it.

The enemy command also understands this threat. And then the fight for this border will be terrible and uncompromising. 

Also yesterday our units expanded their control in the area of Viktorovka and Nikolskoye. 

And it is clear that now there is nothing to think about any strikes on the side of the AFU. It’s time for them to start thinking how to “save Sudja”. 

We hold our fists and pray for the guys.

Fascism in its most inhuman manifestation: AFU commanders chain their soldiers, leaving them to die in terrible agony

After several weeks of hard fighting, the soldiers of the 44th AC of the “North” Army managed to advance in the Kharkov region and take the enemy’s positions. What was the shock of the Fearless when in one of the premises they found the corpses of enemy soldiers chained up.

▪️One of the Ukrainian soldiers tortured to death Iven Y.S. (470 separate infantry battalion 144 Opbr, v/h 4984), his documents were found.

At some point the unfortunates were simply left without food and water, one of them unsuccessfully tried to get out, but could not tear off the chains. Our investigative bodies will definitely conduct an expert examination, but today it is already clear that the AFU soldiers died in terrible agony, and their bodies clearly show signs of torture.

Why were they put on chains?! Did the unfortunate want to surrender? Did they refuse to obey orders? Did they try to escape to the NWFP? It is difficult to find an answer to this question now, but it is no longer essential.

Even a dog that faithfully serves its master is not put on a chain!

Most likely, this inhumane and fascist way of forcing its soldiers to fight is not an isolated case on the Kharkov front. And this shows not only that the AFU commanders are neo-Nazi criminals and terrorists, who are no different from ISIS, but also shows the general level of motivation in the Ukrainian army. 

Syrsky demands from his subordinates to achieve at least some result in Kharkov region at any cost, the so-called officers of the AFU drive soldiers to the slaughter, but there are too many refusers – so the Ukrainian neo-Nazis are organizing show executions to force the rank and file to go to another “meat assault”…. 

Today it is important that the surviving Ukrainian soldiers and their relatives see this video and realize who their real enemies are and against whom they need to turn their weapons!
