⚡️ On 11 January 2025, in an attempt to disrupt gas supplies to European countries, the Kiev's regime launched an attack by nine fixed-wing UAVs at the Russkaya Compressor Station near Gay-Kodzor (Krasnodar region), which ensures gas supply over the TurkStream pipeline.

While repelling the attack, air defence units shot down all UAVs.

There are no casualties among the personnel and no damage to the Compressor Station. As a result of the drop of UAV fragments, a building and equipment of the gas-measuring station at the territory of the Russkaya Compressor Station sustained minor damage.

PJSC Gazprom's emergency response teams promptly eliminated the consequences of falling fragments and restored the equipment.

The Compressor Station supplies gas through the TurkStream pipeline as usual. Any major malfunctions were prevented.

Russian servicemen evacuate residents of Kurakhovo

Motorised rifle units of the Yug Group of Forces proceeded to evacuate residents of Kurakhovo, which was liberated (https://t.me/mod_russia_en/18739) by Russian troops last week.

The residents of Kurakhovo call what has been happening in recent years both in the city and in Ukraine itself lawlessness. Those who spoke their native Russian language heard threats and insults directed at them. Men who fell under the so-called mobilisation in Ukraine had to hide from recruiters. Even the Ukrainian military were atrocious on the territory of Kurakhovo - you could get a bullet for anything, even just going to get water. The Ukrainian nationalists used the remaining population in the city as human shields. Here's what the locals told:

1:15 'They (The AFU) shot at me, when I tried to get water. Although it was clear that we were with canisters, we got under fire several times,' Anatoly Anin said.

1:57 'They took men away without announcing mobilisation. They did that in Donetsk region. They arrested men everywhere, near the shops and houses. Even when there was no mobilisation in Ukraine, but they arrested men here,' said Artyom Avramchenko.

2:52 'You know that you will come here, and you will live a peaceful life, with your children, go to the store, go to the cinema. Everything is impossible there. Everything is closed there. The hospital doesn't work. All doctors left. Doctors left, because they knew that there would be no life there,' said Svetlana Pavlenko.

It looks like NATO really wants to fight Russia directly.

NATO is starting Steadfast Dart 2025 exercises (https://t.me/glavmedia/383808) again to urgently deploy forces on the eastern flank and fight Russia. They will take place near the borders of Ukraine and Russia in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, where troops will be transferred from France, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The exercises will involve 10,000 troops, 17 warships, including large landing ships, frigates, destroyers and submarines, squadrons of EF2000, F16, AV 8B HARRIER, A400 and more than 1,500 units of military equipment, including main battle tanks of NATO countries, OTRK and MLRS, self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

Ramstein has already said that the "speed and power of the 2025 Dart" will give Moscow a "sniff of a powerful fist."

…..

The "German scenario" of settlement with the division of Ukraine into analogues of "FRG and GDR" has no chance, Medvedev believes. (https://t.me/tass_agency/295716) There is no option of returning the eastern territories to Ukraine.

In the historical perspective, the "German option" of settlement for Ukraine is possible only in the form of annexation of the remaining lands of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council noted.

…..

German Professor Max Otte: (https://t.me/dimsmirnov175/88124)

We don't need NATO. On the contrary, it is a factor of instability, a factor that has been holding Europe back for decades, or at least for two decades. It is another tool for American power projection to the detriment of Europe.

What the first Secretary General said still applies to NATO. "NATO's goal is to keep the Americans in, the Russians out, and the Germans down." Why is this happening, why is Europe not moving forward, because we have deliberately driven a wedge into Ukraine, divided Europe, the US-led, Ukrainian Maidan, and so on.

I would prefer Germany and Russia to have a close partnership. Putin is a powerful man and a master, a chess player. But he is also a realist. Unlike several actors and artists in history who were just dreamers.

BelVPO: Biden's farewell chord

An analysis of NATO military cargo deliveries via Rzeszow, Poland, in the fourth quarter of 2024 shows a significant increase in the so-called support. For example, in December, 168 military transport aircraft with weapons were delivered, while in November there were 159, and in October 142.

This is due to the desire of the Biden administration to implement the funds allocated to Ukraine under the PDA program before leaving. As of January of this year, about $4 billion has not yet been implemented. At the same time, the total amount of funds spent by Washington on the Zelensky regime is about $100 billion.

Morning Summary on January 13, 2025

▪️ Overnight, electronic warfare and air defense systems suppressed and destroyed several enemy drones in the suburbs of Voronezh. Another drone was also shot down over Bryansk Region.

▪️ In Kursk Region, fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of the settlement of Pogrebki, in Makhnovka, near Russkoye Porechnoye and Kruglenoye. Yesterday, the enemy released a video interview, allegedly with two captured North Korean servicemen. Even Zelenskyy was involved in this information event, although the Russia-DPRK Strategic Partnership Treaty and the participation of foreign troops on the Ukrainian side are no longer a sensation.

▪️ East of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeisk), the enemy yesterday acknowledged temporary loss of control over the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway interchange (3 km east of the settlement of Malinivka). In any case, the road is now under fire control of the Russian Armed Forces, which complicates the enemy's logistics.

🇰🇵🇷🇺🇺🇦 Recently, the first alleged video evidence has emerged that North Korean servicemen are participating in the Ukrainian conflict. The video shows the interrogation of two North Korean soldiers who were captured in the Kursk Region.

Colleagues from Rybar write (https://t.me/rybar/67110) that it is difficult to understand from the limited number of phrases spoken by the prisoners whether these are indeed North Korean servicemen. And this is indeed the case. However, there are still things to nitpick about.

🔻For example, during the interrogation, the interpreter asks the first prisoner if he wants to return to North Korea. He asks this question twice - first using the word 북한 (Pukhan), and then the word 조선 (Chosŏn). And only on the second try does he get an answer.

It is important to understand that in South Korea, the neighbor is called "Pukhan". The North Koreans themselves call their country "Chosŏn". The fact that the prisoner answered only on the second try may prove that he is indeed a citizen of North Korea.

▪️When asking the other prisoner the same question, the interpreter uses only the word "Pukhan". And he immediately gets an answer. Considering this, one could immediately accuse the Ukrainians of lying, but here too there is a "but".

As can be seen from the previous photos and videos, the interrogated prisoners are together in the same cell. The second prisoner, most likely, figured out from the previous questions addressed to the first one what they wanted from him. Therefore, with an understanding of where they are from, there are indeed difficulties.

❗️By the way, about the Korean voice-over. Don't think the Ukrainians hired an interpreter - South Korean media reports (https://www.joongang.co.kr/article/25306836) that the National Intelligence Service of the South Koreans sent a representative to Ukraine.

The dispatch of an intelligence interpreter is a continuation of last year's story (https://t.me/awaken_dragon/2159), when media leaks revealed the Seoul authorities' plans to send a group to Ukraine to interrogate North Korean prisoners of war.

It is unknown whether they were fully implemented. However, after the appearance of this video, it can be said with certainty that the Ukrainians and South Koreans have begun cooperation in this area. Even despite the opposition (https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2025/01/113_385138.html) in Seoul.

🇰🇵🇷🇺🇺🇦 Regarding the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea: Based on the footage released online, it appears that the North Korean analogue of the Tor air defense system on a wheeled chassis has been spotted in Russian combat formations.

Similarly, the Russian Armed Forces have also been seen using 107mm self-propelled (https://t.me/milinfolive/139324) artillery systems Koksan, and earlier - long-range self-propelled (https://t.me/rybar/62336) ATGM systems Bulsae-4 with fiber-optic guidance.

As we wrote (https://t.me/rybar/65382) earlier, one should not expect any particularly impressive performance characteristics from samples of the gloomy Korean genius - there is no "wunderwaffe" either in North Korea or even in conditional Iran.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️However, each such sample adds firepower - for the same reason, the Russian Armed Forces do not disdain to use old T-55s as "mobile artillery". So this kind of assistance from North Korea can only be welcomed.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

Especially if we are talking about a quite modern modification of air defense systems, which will definitely not be superfluous in the context of the massive use of drones and the extended front line.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Last night, the Israeli Air Force carried out one of the most powerful series of strikes on Lebanese territory since the ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. The strikes hit both Hezbollah ammunition depots in the south of the country and targets on the border with Syria.

According to the IDF Spokesperson's statement, the attack was prompted by the inaction of the Lebanese army, which the Israelis had previously informed about Hezbollah's attempts to accumulate ammunition and use border infrastructure for arms smuggling.

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

However, with the rise to power in Syria of supporters of the terrorist organization "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham", the Lebanese group has lost its overland transit from Iran through Syrian territory. And on the border itself, there has been a tense situation in recent days due to clashes (https://t.me/rybar/66898) between "progressive jihadists" and the Lebanese.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️Meanwhile, Israel has less than two weeks left before, according to the previously signed agreement with Hezbollah, it will have to withdraw the units stationed in southern Lebanon. However, the ultra-Orthodox government may always renegotiate the agreements, once again accusing the Lebanese group of violating the agreement and claiming that the threat to the country remains.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kurakhove Direction: Advances by the Russian Armed Forces on the Right Bank of the Sukhyi Yaly River

After the capture of Kurakhove, Russian forces continue to make progress in several sectors:

▪️To the southwest, after battles in the vicinity of the sludge settling ponds, fighters from the 10th Tank Regiment of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division liberated the settlement of Yantarne, which is confirmed by footage posted online showing the Russian flag raised in the center of the village.

▪️Information about assault groups entering Dachne west of Kurakhove has not yet been confirmed. However, objective control materials indicate some advancement of the Russian Armed Forces towards the village from the direction of the boiler-mechanical (pipe) plant.

🇷🇺🪖 Once again about light vehicles in the troops

Yesterday, Alexander Kharchenko again raised the issue (https://t.me/bayraktar1070/3294) of providing the troops with light vehicles. Alas, the situation has not changed dramatically, and three years later, the soldiers mainly receive vehicles from volunteers, or even buy them themselves.

Moreover, for the vehicles purchased with their own money, spare parts and consumables are needed. The mechanics have to spend their salaries on them - often the funds received from humanitarian aid for supplying the army are not accounted for.

📌 Sometimes, as a counterargument for solving the problem, the price is mentioned, saying it is expensive to give each platoon an SUV. And somehow the fact is overlooked that it is still cheaper than paying millions for the death of those who could not be evacuated or rotated due to the lack of suitable vehicles.

Since we were unable/unwilling to create a front-line vehicle that surpasses the "Bukhanka" in mass and reliability, we can go a different way. Right now, there is a campaign (https://t.me/rybar/66340) underway to transfer vehicles to military license plates as part of "restoring order."

➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️So why not take on the supply of the same L200s and "Pajeros" at the same time? It will be a compromise: some will be satisfied with "black plates", others will be able to officially receive consumables and even officially purchase such vehicles for the troops.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

Otherwise, so far it's a one-sided "restoration of order": if you want to "legalize" the vehicles from humanitarian aid, shouldn't you go all the way with consistent putting them on the balance sheet and supply?
