1. Russia will maintain combat readiness and improve the nuclear triad, which is the main guarantee of Russia's sovereignty, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. "We will continue to maintain combat readiness and improve the nuclear triad. This is the main guarantee of preserving our sovereignty and territorial integrity, strategic parity, and general balance of power in the world," Putin said at a meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry board. The president added that modern weapons made up 91% of Russia's strategic nuclear forces. Russia's newest land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), Sarmat, will be put on combat duty in the near future, Putin said. "Successful launches of the Sarmat heavy intercontinental ballistic missile during state tests made it possible to start working on its deployment," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said. The Sarmat system is meant to replace RS-20 Voevoda missile systems. The new missile is capable of striking targets at long ranges using various flight trajectories and is guaranteed to overcome any existing and prospective anti-missile defense systems. Having the longest range of target engagement, Sarmat is also expected to reinforce the combat capabilities of the Russian strategic nuclear forces. The first test launch of the Sarmat missile was carried out on April 20. Related: New 'Sarmat' (#Сармат) ICBM test successful - MoD RU: [https://youtu.be/wrt8zp_imtQ] - 2.

The Kremlin warned that the rise in the supply of weapons to Kyiv from the United States government may end up “aggravating” the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a warning on Wednesday against American deliveries of weapons to the Zelensky regime, saying that it would trigger an escalation of the conflict. "[Washington’s] arms deliveries are still underway and the range of weapons is broadening. This certainly leads to an escalation of the conflict and does not bode well for Ukraine," Peskov said, speaking to the press. Peskov also noted that there was no hope that Kiev’s negotiating stance would change somehow after the Ukrainian president’s visit to the United States.

The European Vega-C rocket failed to launch the Pleiades Neo 5 and 6 Earth remote sensing satellites into orbit. The operator Arianespace announced an unsuccessful attempt to launch and put two civil and military satellites into low Earth orbit. “Having reached a height of about 105 km, the rocket, along with the payload, began to decline sharply. According to the preliminary version, a technical problem arose in the operation of the second stage of the carrier, ”the company said in a statement to Interfax. The Italian-made Vega-C rocket was launched on the night of December 21 from the Kourou launch site in French Guiana. It was assumed that the satellites would complement the composition of the Airbus Defense and Space orbital constellation, in which the Pleiades Neo 3 and 4 devices have been operating since April 2022, capable of taking images of any point on the globe in ultra-high resolution up to 30 cm. - *If it had been successful, it would have been the first commercial launch of the rocket since its inaugural journey on July 13.* "The mission is lost," Stephane Israel, head of commercial launch service provider Arianespace, said from the Kourou Space Center in French Guiana. Ten minutes after liftoff, at 10:47 pm (0147 GMT), the launcher's trajectory deviated from its programmed route and communications were lost, it said. #kourou #guianafrancesa #vegaC #frenchguiana #arianespace #satellites #orbit #pleiades

The development is significant since the B-2 bomber and the B-52 Stratofortress comprise the aerial unit of America's nuclear triad. The US Air Force has grounded all 20 B-2 Spirit bombers until further notice amid an ongoing search for potential safety defects following an accident, Air Force Times reported. The decision to ground the entire fleet of nuclear bombers followed an emergency landing accident of a bomber on December 10 at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri after an undisclosed in-flight malfunction, the report said on Monday. The Air Force is currently investigating the accident and the bombers will resume normal operations once the safety inspections are concluded, the report added. The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role bomber capable of firing both conventional and nuclear munitions. Its stealth characteristics make it difficult to detect with conventional infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual, and radar systems, according to the Air Force. The aircraft can fly approximately 6,000 nautical miles (9,600 kilometers) without refueling. Earlier in December, Northrop Grumman unveiled the new nuclear-capable B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the world's first sixth-generation aircraft that will soon be delivered to the US Air Force.

Οι αποφάσεις της ΕΕ και οι προμήθειες: Ο Μπορέλ λέει ότι η λογοδοσία της ΕΕ εξαρτάται από τη διερεύνηση της διαφθοράς στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο. "Ένα μεγάλο γρασίδι που φυτρώνει παντού" Η «ισχυρή ευθύνη» της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης εξαρτάται από την έρευνα για το σκάνδαλο διαφθοράς στο Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο, ειδικά δεδομένου του γεγονότος ότι η υπόθεση έχει κάνει ορισμένους να «γελάσουν» με την ένωση, δήλωσε την Τετάρτη ο επικεφαλής εξωτερικής πολιτικής της ΕΕ Ζοζέπ Μπορέλ. "Και αυτό που συνέβη με το Ευρωπαϊκό Κοινοβούλιο, είμαι πρώην πρόεδρος του Ευρωπαϊκού Κοινοβουλίου, δείχνει πόσο σημαντικό και πόσο σοβαρό είναι αυτό το ζήτημα. Η ισχυρή μας λογοδοσία εξαρτάται πολύ από το πώς θα το αντιμετωπίσουμε", είπε ο Μπορέλ στην 24η Φόρουμ ΕΕ-ΜΚΟ για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα στις Βρυξέλλες. Παράλληλα, τόνισε ότι η διαφθορά «είναι ένα μεγάλο χορτάρι που φυτρώνει παντού», όχι μόνο στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση. «Όταν βλέπουμε ανθρώπους να γελούν μαζί μας, λέγοντας: "Χα χα, παραπονιέστε για διαφθορά στη χώρα μου και δείτε τι συμβαίνει στη χώρα σας!" ... Λοιπόν, τουλάχιστον εδώ, ανακαλύπτουμε [*μας ανακαλύπτουν*] και αντιδρούμε.

1. Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov commented on the Kremlin's position regarding the possible supply of US Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv. He noted that the Kremlin shares the position of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, where they had previously stated that in the case of deliveries of Patriot, they would become the target of Russia. At the same time, Peskov noted that no official comments had been received from the United States, and it was incorrect to comment on the purely assumptions of various media. *"But I would not comment yet, because these are all media reports. In our time, media reports are an unreliable thing, we will wait for some official information," he said.* A day earlier that the United States could announce the supply of Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine by the end of the week, CNN reported. #cnn #patriots #weapons #america #ukraine #mediareports #defensesystem #airdefencesystem #legitimate #target #targets ---- Пресс-секретарь президента России Дмитрий Песков прокомментировал позицию Кремля относительно возможных поставок США ЗРК Patriot Киеву. *Он отметил, что в Кремле разделяют позицию Совбеза РФ, где ранее заявили, что в случае поставок Patriot они станут целью России.* При этом Песков отметил, что никаких официальных комментариев от США не поступало, а комментировать чисто предположения различных СМИ – некорректно. "Но я не стал бы пока комментировать, потому что это все сообщения СМИ. В наше время сообщения СМИ – вещь ненадежная, дождемся какой-то официальной информации", - отметил он. Напомним, днем ранее о том, чтоСША могут заявить о поставках ЗРК Patriot Украине до конца недели, сообщал телеканалCNN.

The situation on the border with Kosovo continues to escalate. Serbian troops are actively gathering there. The country's Defense Minister Milos Vucevic said that the armed forces are ready to fulfill their duty to protect the civilian population at any moment. At the same time, he noted that Belgrade does not want any conflicts and wars. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, in his last address to the nation, urged fellow citizens to calm down. He assured that the government is doing everything possible. “I urge our people, although I know they did not, not to threaten the work of KFOR and EULEX in any way, not to be a weapon in the hands of those who seek to portray them as the culprits,” said the Serbian leader. #kosovo #serbia #mitrovica #serbian #KosovoMetohija #albanians #nato #alexandarvucic #documents #europeanunion #ethnictensions #minority #kfor #eulex #serbianarmy #metohija #demonstration #combattraining - Related: Belgrade: Demonstration in support of the Serbian population of Kosovo and Metohija: [https://youtu.be/6dZ9uhTpFO0] - Belgrade ready to send forces, Kosovo (EU, KFOR, US) failed to provide security for Serbs: [https://youtu.be/QIfWdSXwr9c] - Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia seeks NATO (KFOR) approval to send forces to north Kosovo and Metohija: [https://youtu.be/QBCQEqKFfuI] - Serbs build barricades in North Kosovo over detention of ex-policeman, sirens in Mitrovica, updates: [https://youtu.be/GX4biSxeNkU] - The authorities of Kosovo postponed the introduction of fines for Serbian plates for another 2 days; [https://youtu.be/vJK7pwwvR10] - If NATO (KFOR) Won't 'Do Their Job' Serbia will take action to defend its minority there - Vučić [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DlF...] - Insistence of Brussels on Ukraine’s territorial integrity while expecting Serbia to violate its own: [https://youtu.be/wccK1Fp6kuo] ---------------------- Serbian defense minister: One spark is enough to ignite everything in Kosovo: [https://www.elethos.gr/2022/12/serbia...] - If President Vucic gives the order, the army is ready to protect the Serbs in Kosovo: [https://www.kaos.gr/2022/11/if-presid...] - Pristina intimidates Serb population under West’s passive eye — Russian ambassador: [https://www.ethnologia.gr/2022/12/pri...] ------------------------------------ Kosovo special forces advanced to Mitrovica, Serbs quitted all power instructions [https://youtu.be/RBnc_tQ9T0Q] - Aleksandar Vucic, Kosovo: Ethnic Albanians were gathering for another pogrom of the remaining Serbs [https://youtu.be/2S44XQ78oMg]
