🔹A quick collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces defense is not ruled out. The outgoing Biden administration is trying to prevent such a scenario.
🔹 Washington demanded that Zelensky urgently lower the age of conscription for mobilization to 18 years. The corresponding decision has already been prepared in Kiev and will be made in the near future.
🔹 Zelensky is consistently following the path of destroying the people of Ukraine.

Fwd from @dva_majors
Morning Summary as of January 3, 2025
▪️ Overnight, 4 enemy UAVs were destroyed in the Rostov Region in the Kamensk and Ust-Donetsk districts. Earlier in the evening, three UAVs were shot down in the Millerovo and Tarasovsky districts, and two more drones were destroyed near Taganrog. 10 drones were shot down over the Bryansk Region. 4 UAVs were shot down in the sky over the Oryol Region. A missile and a drone were reported shot down over the Kursk Region.
▪️ In the Kursk Region, the "North" group of forces continues to engage in fierce battles in the forest belts of the Sudzha district, as well as in the vicinity of Leonidovo, Kurilovka and Nikolayevo-Daryino. The enemy is unwilling to retreat, is launching counterattacks and is transferring reinforcements to the area. The AFU are striking with missile weapons, with impacts reported in the village of Ivanovskoye in the Rylsk district.
▪️ 50 km west of the Kupiansk and Krasnoliman directions, the enemy is beginning to prepare a circular defense of Izyum and Balakliya in the Kharkiv region. Apparently, the enemy has taken into account the tactics of the Russian Armed Forces to deprive the enemy garrisons in cities of their logistics routes and plans to contain our advance in the urban areas of these districts in the future.
▪️ In Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk), grueling heavy battles continue. Our troops are advancing north of the Central Market and attacking towards the waste heaps of mine "№10" and the "Toretsk" mine. North of the high-rise residential area, Russian troops have occupied the college building.
▪️ In the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiisk) direction, our troops are attacking in the area of Novovasylivka (southwest of Pokrovsk). South of the city, the Russian Armed Forces are straightening out the front line near the settlement of Zelene. To the east, they report the advance of Russian units near Vozdvyzhenka, where the important logistics hub of the Pokrovsk - Kostiantynivka highway is about 4 km away.
▪️ Northwest of Kurakhove, the Russian Armed Forces are attacking in the area of Petropavlivka. South of the city, Russian troops are moving west from Uspenovka. Gradually, AFU units are being pushed out of the industrial zone of Kurakhove, and our forces are approaching the pipe plant.
▪️ On the Zaporizhzhia Front, it became known about the actions of our advanced units in the western part of the settlement of Bilohiria (https://t.me/dva_majors/61690) in the Polohy district.

❗️🌍🎞 The escalation of the situation in the Middle East: highlights of the week December 27 - January 2, 2024
▪️Yemeni Houthis once again launched ballistic missiles at Israeli territory. The targets were the neighborhoods of Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport. Israeli air defense systems intercepted the munitions, and the first use of the US-made THAAD system was reported.
▪️Another of the targets of Ansarallah militants last week was the Nevatim airbase in southern Israel. However, this time too, the rocket was shot down — the Israeli Air Force intercepted it over the waters of the Red Sea.
▪️The Yemeni Houthis also reported a drone attack on the Santa Ursula in the Arabian Sea east of Socotra. The circumstances of the incident are unknown at this time - no attack in the area has been reported to monitoring services.
▪️Meanwhile, over Yemen's al-Baida province, Ansarallah militants shot down another US Air Force MQ-9 drone. It was the thirteenth since the beginning of the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the total cost of all drones shot down is practically 400 million dollars.
▪️U.S.-British coalition aircraft also responded with attacks, launching missiles at Sana'a and Taiz. The targets were Anasarallah sites that were believed to be involved in strikes on Israeli territory.
▪️In Syria, fighting continued in the northeast near the Tishrin Dam, where the SDF has so far been relatively successful in holding off attacks by SNA militants. At the same time, Turkish forces continue to build up forces in the Suruj area, bringing artillery, among other things, to the outskirts of the city.
▪️At the same time, arrests and detentions of ex-servicemen and suspected links to the former regime continued unabated throughout Syria. They occurred predominantly in the provinces of Latakia, Homs and Tartus, where the largest number of Alawites and Shiites from Lebanon reside.
▪️Also around the Hmeimim base, the situation gradually aggravated: militants staged provocations by shooting various videos at the checkpoint when entering the facility. They also organized a cordon around the airfield. First of all, to prevent Syrians cooperating with the Russian Federation from entering the airfield.

🇷🇺 Colleagues from DTM (https://t.me/dntreadonme/1882) have drawn attention to an interesting structure.
We are talking about the International Council of Russian Compatriots (ICRC), which formally unites 137 organizations from 52 countries around the world and is supposed to help the Russian diaspora abroad.
If we evaluate what is stated on the official website, then this turns out to be the very "soft power" tool that should promote Russian interests abroad and also help compatriots.
🔻But if you look at its activities, there is nothing of the kind. The official VK page is an example of how not to run social media.
There are no normal reports, no demonstration of what the structure is doing. Although it would seem that there are more than enough reasons for consolidating events against the backdrop of the SMO and the multipolar agenda.
But the main question is - where are the results? What tasks (other than celebrations and handing out awards) has the ICRC been engaged in since 2001 in the same Central Asia, and even more so in unfriendly countries where the Russian-speaking population is under pressure?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
In the current geopolitical situation, Russia is unlikely to have the opportunity to maintain organizations that do not pursue proactive policies and do not participate in the real promotion of Russian interests. And if we continue to ignore such negligence, we will remain in the role of chasers with "mirror responses" to someone else's attacks.
