๐ท๐บ President Vladimir Putin took part in an expanded meeting of the Defence Ministry Board at the National Defence Control Centre of the Russian Federation.
Important points of the Russian leaderโs statement:
๐บ 2024 has been crucial in achieving the goals of the special military operation. Thanks to the professionalism and courage of our soldiers, the heroic efforts of defence industry workers, and the truly nationwide support for the army and navy, Russian troops maintain a strong strategic initiative along the entire line of contact.
๐บ The military-political situation in the world remains challenging and unstable. Bloodshed continues in the #MiddleEast, and there is a high potential for conflict in a number of other regions of the world.
๐บ #NATOโs ambitions have long surpassed its historical responsibility zone. Apart from the so-called eastern flank, it is also building up its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
๐บ Equally concerning is the #US activity in developing high-precision ground-based strike systems with a firing range of up to 5,500 km and preparing them for deployment in forward zones.
โ๏ธ Moreover, the transfer and deployment of these missile systems are already being prepared in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
โ๏ธ #Russia will lift its voluntary restrictions on the deployment of intermediate- and shorter-range missiles if the US begins to do so.
๐บ Given the escalating geopolitical tensions, Russia must adopt additional measures to ensure its security and the security of its allies. This is done carefully and thoughtfully, without becoming drawn into a full-scale arms race that would damage the socioeconomic development of the country.

๐ President Vladimir Putin: We are not fighting with the #Ukrainian people, but with the regime โ the neo-#Nazi regime in Kiev, which seized power back in 2014. The source of their authority is a state coup.
โ๏ธ All the troubles in both #Ukraine and #Russia began precisely after this bloody, anti-constitutional state coup. It remains relevant today because those in power are committing crimes against their own citizens and our citizens every day.
โ๏ธ This regime has lost โ or is at least evidently losing โ the signs of statehood.

๐ Russiaโs Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia at a UNSC Briefing on #Ukraine (Dec 16, 2024):
โNo schemes aimed at freezing the conflict are agreeable to #Russia.
โ๏ธ The Minsk agreements demonstrated that neither the West nor the Kiev junta can be trusted, and we are well aware that the whole point of such โtricksโ is to give the Kiev regime a respite on the battlefield to โlick the woundsโ and rearm.
โ๏ธ #NATO involvement in settling the Ukrainian crisis is out of question. From the very outset, NATO and Ukraine's membership therein have been part of the problem, not part of the solution.โ

On Dec 15 of this year, a delegation from the Pan-African Parliament, led by Vice-President Gayo Ashebir, visited the #Donetsk People's Republic as part of their visit to Russia.
๐ This delegation comprised representatives from 12 #African nations, including #Zambia, #Malawi, #Mozambique, #Tanzania, #Uganda, #SouthSudan, #Zambia, #Ethiopia, among others.
๐ฏ The delegates toured the Saur-Mogila memorial complex dedicated to the liberation of #Donbass by Soviet forces in 1943. This complex was destroyed in 2014 during clashes with Ukrainian armed forces and was completely restored in 2022.
Members of the African Parliament said they had come to #Russia to express their support for our nation and all Russians, and to reaffirm the importance of further fortifying Russian-African relations in the face of aggressive external pressure and manipulation by the so-called "collective West."
The delegates showed a profound understanding of the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, the special military operation, and the role played by Western countries in these events, including the creation of conditions leading to a shortage of Russian fertiliser and grain supplies to the African continent.
One of the outcomes of their visit was the opportunity to form an objective perspective on the situation in the Russian region, which they could then relay to their fellow citizens.
โ๏ธ A key difference in the approaches of Western nations and Russia towards cooperation with #Africa was also highlighted: according to the Vice-President of the Pan-African Parliament, our nation is characterised by respect for the interests of Africans, and a concern for the development of their economy and social sphere, in contrast to the West driven by the pursuit of profit and neo-colonial ambitions.
These evaluations by African representatives regarding the situation in Ukraine provoked an appalling reaction from the #Kiev regime. Ukraine Foreign Ministry expressed a strong protest, claiming it "contradicts the spirit of friendship and mutual respect that characterises Ukraine's relations with the African continent, and seriously damages the reputation of the Pan-African Parliament."
After that, Ukraine directly threatened the members of the delegation, who began to receive messages detailing what actions would be taken against them. Apparently, this is Ukraine's "relations" with the nations of the African continent.
๐ท๐บ๐ From our standpoint, we consider the visit of the Pan-African Parliament delegation to Russia and their visit to the DPR to be a significant step towards the ongoing progressive development of Russian-African relations, in alignment with the decisions of the Russia-Africa summits and the inaugural ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum held in November.
This is the essence of freedom and democracy โ individuals have the opportunity to receive first-hand information and draw their own conclusions.
