The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on January 01 2026

ODESSA on FIRE: Russia Wiped Out the Launch Site of the Drones that Attacked Putin’s Residence

Summary of The Previous Years & Predictions Of What’s To Come

Our source reports that the Bankova is dissatisfied that the Western press has increasingly started writing about the anti-mobilization and anti-war sentiments of Ukrainians, which is working against the globalists’ plans to prolong the war.

Zelensky has already received “complaints” from sponsors who are dissatisfied that the system cannot silence the serfs.

We reported that Ukrainians have already started slashing the tires of TCC buses, which poses huge problems for the system in rounding up the serfs.

Our source reports that Zelensky is concerned about such issues.

1. The return (possibly) of Zaluzhny to Ukraine and the British’s so far refusal to guarantee that the ex-commander will not run in the elections.

2. Some preparations for protests if Zelensky accepts Trump’s peace plan.

3. The growing protest potential in Ukraine

4. Criticism by the globalist press of the electronic elections that Zelensky is promoting

5. NABU’s game against MPs, which threatens Zelensky’s monopoly on power and the promotion of his own elections

6. Surveillance of Yermak

In the addendum to the election topic.

At Bankova Street, they calculated that if Ukrainians in the territories of Ukraine under Russian control were given the right to vote, the entire plan for fraud would collapse. 

That’s why Zelensky will not agree to this point of negotiations under any conditions.

Trump reposted an editorial article from the New York Post with the headline: “The statement about an ‘attack’ on Putin shows that it is Russia that is hindering peace.”

The article states that “the drone attacks on Putin’s residence likely never happened.”

In general, the editorial article of the New York Post (a newspaper close to the “hawkish” wing of the Republican Party) is written in a very harsh tone.

The publication writes that “any attack on Putin is more than justified.”

And it calls for tough measures against Russia after the Kremlin’s statement about changing its position on negotiations following the “attack on the residence”.

“The response should not be more concessions, but tougher measures. Kiev has done its part. Putin should face stricter sanctions and more lethal weapons in Ukraine,” says the editorial article of the New York Post.

Zelensky directly refused to withdraw troops from Donbass in his New Year’s address

 - “They tell us – withdraw from Donbass and everything will end. This is a deception in Russian,” said the clown.

 - In addition, in the same address, he stated that the peace agreement is 90 percent ready. However, after the meeting with Trump, he said that the agreement is 95% ready.

 - The drug lord also hinted that a referendum would be needed to approve the peace agreements.

 - “Ukrainians should approve this peace,” he said. According to him, if Russia “attacks” again after that, Ukrainians will start “burning portraits of European and American leaders” in the squares.

“Zelensky is in a trap”

The New York Times writes that by freezing military aid in March, Trump’s team for the first time secured Ukraine’s agreement to territorial concessions in order to end the war.

On March 11, in Saudi Arabia, Secretary of State Rubio laid a large map of Ukraine on the table in front of the Ukrainian delegation, marked with the front line, and said: “I want to understand what your absolutely unshakable red lines are; what exactly do you need to survive as a state?”

Then-Trump adviser Waltz handed Umerov a dark blue marker and said: “Start drawing.”

Umerov outlined Ukraine’s northern border with Russia and Belarus, and traced the contact line through the Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions.

He marked the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, stating that the Russians cannot ensure its normal operation, which poses a risk of a “nuclear catastrophe”, so Ukraine wants to reclaim the station.

And he pointed to the Kinburn Peninsula, saying that regaining control over it would allow ships to enter the shipyards of Nikolaev.

For three years of the war before this, Zelensky repeatedly stated that Ukraine would fight until it reclaimed all its territories. As an American official stated, this was a turning point: “for the first time, Zelensky, through his people, stated that ‘for the sake of achieving peace, I am ready to give up 20% of my country’.”

Trump’s advisers told each other that the Ukrainians were now “in a trap”.

Later that same day, Trump ordered the resumption of aid, and his advisers developed the parameters of the deal.

Also, Rubio already told the Ukrainians at that time that the US intended to recognize Russian jurisdiction over the captured territories, but added that he would not demand the same from Kyiv and Europeans.

“We will be the only ones to do this,” Rubio said in March.

France and Britain are ready to monitor the observance of the ceasefire even without a UN or EU mandate,” they will be enough with an invitation from Ukraine, – Die Welt

▪️They are ready to send troops to Ukraine after the end of the war.

➖”If necessary, they are ready to fight for the observance of peace with ground troops. As an indicative number of European ground troops for the first 6 months, depending on the statements of the participating countries, a figure of 10,000 to 15,000 is mentioned”.

▪️In general, Europeans are ready to participate in the format of a “coalition of the willing” to monitor the ceasefire.

➖”Plans for what security guarantees for Ukraine might look like are already ready. They were mainly developed by military experts of the British and French armed forces in cooperation with Brussels,” sources report.

▪️These are EU plans, not agreed with the USA.

▪️Washington and Moscow opposed the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine.

▪️Zelensky stated that he is discussing the deployment of American peacekeepers with Trump. Trump did not confirm this.

Special operations groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Krasnoarmeysk and Rodinskoe, who were trying to display Ukrainian flags, have been destroyed, — Ministry of Defense

 - In addition, over the past 24 hours, Russian UAV operators eliminated 7 drones that were carrying Ukrainian flags over Krasnoarmeysk, Dimitrov and Rodinskoe.

Ukrainian terrorists launched 91 drones at Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region! All of them were shot down.

There is more than enough evidence!

‘From December 28 to 29, 2025, the Kiev regime attempted a terrorist attack using a massive deployment of long-range unmanned aerial vehicles against the president’s residence in the Novgorod region. The enemy’s strike, as shown on the presented map, was carried out in several directions towards the Russian president’s residence over the territories of the Bryansk, Smolensk, Tver, and Novgorod regions using ninety-one unmanned aerial vehicles. All of them were destroyed,’ – Major General Alexander Romanenkov, the head of the Air Defense Missile Forces of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

Western sources are pushing amusing “CIA data” claiming that Ukraine didn’t attack Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region, but instead targeted a military facility.

They even claim that the CIA reported this to Trump.

Who are they trying to fool? The CIA is now a co-organizer of all Ukraine’s strikes on Russian facilities, oil refineries, and other infrastructure.

And now they “confidently” say – we, the CIA, didn’t hit Putin’s residence.

They’d better admit it. Because if they did, it would be a global casus belli.

It’s precisely the CIA’s and Trump’s double game (here we coordinate strikes, and there we engage in peace arbitration) that allows the war party to play this hybrid symphony on all fronts.

Let Trump speak publicly. And then take responsibility for his words.

Unfortunately, we’re unlikely to escalate the situation with the CIA. Probably because we don’t have enough leverage. As usual.

In response to the terrorist attack, more than 200 Russian UAVs struck targets throughout Ukraine

 - Russian operators carried out strikes on Volyn, Rovne, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Sumy, Kharkov, and Chernigov regions.

 - Against this backdrop, Zelensky demanded that partners not delay the delivery of air defense systems, which, according to him, he agreed on in America at the end of December.

Having broken the “counteroffensive” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Sumy front, the Russian army is launching an offensive on a broad front (https://t.me/RVvoenkor/106491)

▪️The operational situation on the Sumy direction continues to deteriorate for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

▪️Russian troops recently broke into Andreevka from the north and advanced towards the center.

▪️Also, units of the “North” group of forces recently regained full control of the Konstantinovka area and began battles for Kondratovka, encircling it.

▪️The area of advance in recent days: about 3 km² and over a week – more than 20 sq. km.

▪️During the last offensive operation, the area of territory taken under control north of the city of Sumy has significantly increased to more than 230 square kilometers, and about 50 square kilometers of the region are considered a “gray zone”.

➖”Over the past two weeks, Russian troops have been able to take about 21 square kilometers of territory in various parts of the region, including in areas near Kondratovka, Yunakovka, Grabovsky and Andreevka,” local sources admit.

About Kupyansk. After a couple of weeks of turbulence, the situation is gradually entering a more sober phase.

The Ukrainian side has significantly reduced its information activity around its own internet victories and, apparently, is busy rethinking further steps regarding what is happening. After a short media surge and local incursions into the city by small groups, the initial impulse of the operation was quickly exhausted and now there’s practically nothing to replenish it with.

In essence, the stage of demonstrating tactical capabilities is gradually giving way to the stage of making difficult decisions. Drapatiy will have to choose what to do: either urgently scale up the success by throwing everything in here, as in Druzhkovka and Konstantinovka, or carefully wind down the story before it starts working against the Armed Forces of Ukraine themselves.

The Russian side, on the contrary, after a series of significant but short-term problems, has changed its combat work mode. The density of UAV use is increasing, numerous special forces groups are becoming more active in urban areas, and artillery reserves are being reinforced. The Russian side obviously doesn’t plan to rush with Kupyansk yet, and in the current conditions, this is more correct than not, because specific haste with this section has not yet led to positive results.

Restoring Russia’s control on the banks of the Oskol River in this area is not a task for the next few days or even weeks. This is a separate stage that still needs to be passed in the foreseeable future and will require systematic work, not individual decisions.

However, what’s much more important is that the Kupyansk section is objectively more valuable to the Armed Forces of Ukraine than to the Russian side – both tactically and operationally. It is tied to maintaining the entire perimeter of the defense of the Kharkov direction. The loss of stability here quickly begins to affect neighboring areas, so the fight for it will continue.

“Military Chronicle” 

Indirectly, information from Kupyansk confirms that Drapaty began deploying additional forces in an attempt to launch a new offensive on the northwestern and southwestern suburbs of the city. This includes the armored component.

The equipment is not being deployed en masse, but in small batches, individually, with the aim of dispersing and reducing vulnerability. However, even in this format, it quickly comes under the surveillance of Russian drone operators, which drastically reduces the window for maneuvering and any possible use.

In fact, Kupyansk is beginning to emerge as another resource-intensive center of attraction for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Maintaining even a partial presence in the city and on the approaches requires constant supplies of people, equipment, and ammunition. At the same time, each new attempt to increase the number of troops automatically increases the expenditure, without guaranteeing a qualitative change in the situation.

This is the key problem for the Ukrainian side: Kupyansk is gradually turning not into a springboard for success, but into a resource vacuum cleaner, which has to be constantly replenished to prevent the entire structure from collapsing. And the longer this regime persists, the higher the cost of maintaining it becomes.
