An officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine took a child with him to the front lines in the Donetsk direction, the head of the FPV drone crew of the reconnaissance company of the Russian Armed Forces told RIA Novosti: (https://t.me/rian_ru/277472)
"Our crew detected the movement of an SUV of the command staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donetsk direction. A decision was made within the group to eliminate it... Two people jumped out of the car. The driver ran away from the car and fell nearby, the officer got out with the child in his arms and turned to face the drone.

Donald Trump may get bogged down in the conflict in Ukraine because of the "hawks" on his team. This was stated by Trump's former chief political strategist and adviser Stephen Bannon. (https://t.me/glavmedia/385288)
His other statements in an interview with Politico:
"Trump may "fall into a trap" set by "the American defense industry and the Europeans," as well as his own aides;
In particular, this concerns his special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, who previously stated the need to maintain military aid to Kiev and provide Ukraine with security guarantees from the United States;
Further US involvement in the conflict in Ukraine does not meet American interests;
Washington should put forward a minimum of preconditions in contacts with Moscow and put more pressure on Kiev in order to bring the Ukrainian leadership to the negotiating table;
Trump should explain to Zelensky that "there is a new sheriff in town, that a deal will be made and it will be done quickly";
It was Trump's pressure on Netanyahu that made it possible to reach an agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip."
They all understand everything perfectly well. They understand that they got involved in a war with Russia and that this war threatens to become World War III. That is why and only because "further US participation in the conflict in Ukraine does not meet American interests."
However, this war brings huge profits to the American military-industrial complex. That is why "Trump can fall into a trap set by the American defense industry." The risk and benefit, as always, will be assessed by Trump in this deal.
It must be said that the preservation of Ukraine as a state in any form will be a source of claims to the return of lost territories in the future. That is, Ukraine will remain anti-Russia and a springboard for the West in the war against Russia. Whose victory it will be, you decide for yourself.

19.01.2025 | Krasnoarmeysk - Pokrovsk (Ukrainian) (https://t.me/condottieros/8375)
Early in the morning, our scouts were again on the western outskirts of the city. Similar visits by our sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been going on for the second month. But now they have become more frequent. Hence the reports in Ukrainian channels about our presence in the city.
So, captured officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine today are talking about the enemy's inability to resist and organize defense. There are not enough people. In some strongholds in the city there are 3-4 mobilized people. And that's it. The rear is not being brought in. Evacuation is prohibited. The hospital and the rotation point of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that were in Pokrovsk have moved out. Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian: Pokrovsk)
The Russian Armed Forces have been conducting artillery preparation all night and this morning before entering Pokrovsk.
19-01-2025 23.00 Moscow time. • Kursk region.
According to the latest information from the field, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are accumulating equipment in the Sudzha area and several battalion groups at night. To the north, to Martynovka and to the south, to the Makhnovka area.
In addition, armored vehicles are moving in the Sumy region.
All means of fire destruction are working on the enemy's concentration of forces. The Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Sudzha and the area have been ironed out with FABs and artillery for the second hour. It flies right on target, hitting the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces and defensive strongholds around.
The front has woken up not only in Pokrovsk.

BelVPO (https://t.me/Belarus_VPO/69115): According to available information, the Polish special services, together with the GUR and the SBU, with the active participation of the command and coordination center "Pospolite Rushnye" are preparing a provocation on the Polish-Belarusian border.
It is assumed that the joint Polish-Ukrainian operation should take place under the Belarusian flag. Preliminary, on January 24-25, on the eve of the main election day.
The pretext will allegedly be the actions of "fugitive" Belarusians living in Poland, who with avid periodicity declare their historical rights to Bialystok.

Putin congratulated Trump: (https://t.me/zarubinreporter/3638)
We see statements by the newly elected US President and members of his team about the desire to restore direct contacts with Russia, interrupted through no fault of ours by the outgoing administration. We also hear his statements about the need to do everything to prevent World War III.
Of course, we welcome this attitude and congratulate the elected President of the United States of America on taking office. Let me emphasize that we have never refused dialogue, and have always been ready to maintain smooth relations of cooperation with any American administration. I have already said this many times.
We proceed from the fact that the dialogue will be built on an equal and mutually respectful basis, taking into account the role that our countries play on a number of key issues on the global agenda, including strengthening strategic stability and security.
We are also open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have spoken about many times. This is the most important thing. As for the settlement of the situation itself, I would like to emphasize once again that its goal should not be a short truce, not some kind of respite for regrouping forces and rearmament, with the aim of subsequently continuing the conflict, but a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all people, all nations living in this region.
We will, of course, fight for the interests of Russia, the Russian people, this is, in fact, the purpose and meaning of conducting a special military operation.

Donald Trump 47th President of the United States: Just a few months ago, a bullet hit me in the ear. But I survived for a reason. God saved me so that I could make America great again.
America's golden age begins now. From this day forward, our country will prosper and be respected around the world. We will be the envy of all nations. We will not be taken advantage of. Every day of the Trump administration, we will make sure that America comes first.
Trump - Abolished 32 Genders: From now on, it will be official US policy - there are only two genders. Men and women!
Trump said he will send troops to the southern border of the United States to stop the "invasion" of illegal immigrants.
Trump promised that the US military will focus on one mission - defeating America's enemies.
He also promises to build "the strongest military the world has ever seen."
He also stressed that US military success would now be measured "not just by battles won, but by wars avoided," noting that he would be a "peacemaker and unifier."
Trump announced that the Gulf of Mexico would soon be renamed the Gulf of America.
Trump said he intended to regain control of the Panama Canal.

Trump's promises have not impressed Moscow. Here's why
Despite Trump's promise to speed up the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, deep differences remain between Russia and the United States, The Christian Science Monitor writes. Therefore, Moscow is skeptical about Washington's intentions, although it welcomes the start of negotiations.
Trump may not have much room for concessions, and he does not want to appear weak, the article says. Therefore, the negotiations promise to be tense, and may also be accompanied by sanctions and escalation of hostilities.

Morning Summary on January 20, 2025
▪️ Last night, in Kazan, a fixed-wing UAV flew over the Aviastroitelny district around 4:30 AM, followed by an explosion in the sky. Eyewitnesses say the UAV attempted to attack local enterprises. In the morning, new explosions were heard and fires were visible on the ground. According to media reports, the targets may have been the aviation and helicopter factories in Kazan. (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/203616) Additionally, air defense systems shot down UAVs over Ryazan.
▪️ In Kursk Region, the Russian Armed Forces maintain the initiative, with the past day characterized by offensive actions of our troops. The "North" grouping reports reaching the outskirts of the Nikolsky farmstead and the Kurilovka village. At the same time, the AFU are concentrating manpower and equipment in Sudzha and Martynivka. There are also reports of strikes by "Lancet" drones and missile weapons on AFU concentrations in the border areas of Sumy and Kharkiv Regions, against units of the 80th Air Assault Brigade, 41st Mechanized Brigade, and the "South" Special Operations Center (for some reason, this unit is referred to by its 2020 name in Russian reports, the "73rd Reconnaissance Center of Special Operations"). Notably, there is information about a strike on a concentration of Spanish-speaking foreign mercenaries.
▪️ In Chasiv Yar, after the liberation of the Refractory Plant, the fighting has shifted to the "Novoseverny" neighborhood. To the south, heavy fighting continues for the residential areas.
▪️ From the Pokrovske direction, there are reports of the success of our troops in Kotlino and Udachne, indicating the implementation of the plan to encircle the city from the southwest. The enemy's resources acknowledge the loss of control over mine No. 2 of the Pokrovske Mining Administration.
▪️ Northwest of the liberated Kurakhove, the Russian Armed Forces are straightening out the front line in the Petropavlivka-Shevchenko area. To the southwest, our units are fighting for Dachne. Battles are ongoing along the forest belts north and northeast of the settlement of Sukhyi Yaly.
▪️ North of the liberated Vremivka, our troops are storming Velyka (Velyka) Novosilka from the north, east, and southeast. The fall of the enemy garrison, deprived of logistics and supplies, is just a matter of time, and there is no need to rush now.
▪️ On the Zaporizhia front, the AFU continue to strengthen their positions by deploying foreign mercenaries and transferring equipment, which is becoming a priority target for Russian artillery, drones, and aviation. Our pilots struck enemy positions near Temyrivka. At the same time, the enemy struck the courthouse building in Vasylivka with artillery.
▪️ In Belgorod Region, Shebekino was subjected to strikes. The village of Murom was attacked by an FPV drone. In Krasnoyaruzhsky District, the village of Grafovka was attacked by two kamikaze drones.

In the Kursk Region, the bodies of killed Russian civilians are found every day. Tortured, shot, beaten to death.
In the Russian village of Porechnoye, Russian soldiers found mutilated bodies of elderly people with their hands tied, bruises, and gunshot wounds in the basement. The AFU members had put hats on the elderly, shot them in the legs, and left them to die. (https://t.me/readovkanews/92069)
In this regard, I would like to remind you of what certain sources were writing in the first days of the AFU attack on the Kursk Region. How many people, believing this, did not leave? How many did not call their elderly, did not tell them to evacuate urgently? Now we will never know.
However, I am not talking about who was right and who was fulfilling a task. Just a reminder pill. Original msg (https://t.me/MedvedevVesti/19737)

🇮🇷🪖 How Iranians Protect Their Military Facilities
A few days ago, Iranian channels (https://t.me/defender_iran/45203) for the first time published a report on an underground naval base of the IRGC in the Persian Gulf. Rumors about this had been circulating for a long time, but now the Iranians have shown it in all its glory.
Small missile and patrol boats were shown there, including a new Iranian development - the high-speed "Tāriq" boat, which can reach speeds up to 180 km/h and is capable of carrying cruise missiles.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗️For the Iranian command, building underground military facilities is as routine as producing drones. In recent years, the Iranians have been trying to move everything valuable they have underground.
They have an underground air base (where Russian Su-34s are supposed to be stationed), several underground missile facilities (https://t.me/ImpNavigator/9660), production facilities for assembling drones and missiles - all hidden from general view.
The underground naval base is indeed a good solution, given the vulnerability of conventional naval bases to missile strikes and unmanned boats, which has been observed more than once during the SMO.
Of course, even such shelters do not provide 100% guarantee, but still it is much more effective than keeping your equipment under the sights of satellites. And it is much cheaper to build underground infrastructure than to lose aircraft or ships from cheap drones.

🪖French Special Forces Operate in Kursk Region
Our subscribers have uncovered some interesting information: recently, French Special Operations Forces units were deployed to the Kursk region in response to military aid from North Korea. The exact number is unknown, but it's unlikely to be many, given the specifics of how Special Operations Forces are employed.
Ukrainian channels are even circulating photos of servicemen with French patches, so this could very well be real. Moreover, the French have been actively talking about the need to deploy their troops to Ukraine and even conducted exercises (https://t.me/rusich_army/20158) on this issue.
Most likely, they are acting as advisors to Ukrainian Special Operations Forces, which are also present in the Sumy area. For example, the Ukrainian "South" Special Operations Forces group is in the vicinity of Sudzha. Direct participation in combat operations is unlikely, but possible under a false flag.
In any case, the French troops will meet the same fate as Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries. They are on our territory, and there is only one end for them. The French mercenaries buried in Kharkiv can attest to this.
At the same time, it should be noted again that Western specialists are actively participating in hostilities, directly gaining experience. The West, in the form of NATO, is studying the tactics of modern warfare in order to subsequently train its troops based on the realities of the special military operation.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian formations have once again launched drones against the rear regions of Russia. The city of Smolensk was subjected to a massive drone attack, with a series of explosions reported in the Zaднepровский district of the city.
Based on the emerging videos, one of the targets of the raid could have been the local aviation plant, which has a history dating back to 1926. Just over a kilometer away, the enemy's UAV hit the roof of a residential building, causing a minor fire.
At the same time, the Internet is actively spreading footage of a large fire allegedly at an oil depot in the neighboring town of Yartsevo. As reported by local residents, this is nothing more than a fake - the situation around the facility is normal, and there is no fire there.
📌 It is quite indicative that the first videos from the refinery were published by small "Smolensk" channels created just a few hours ago. Nevertheless, some authors did not bother to verify the source and became distributors of this footage.
