US Wants to Disable Turkish Stream, Lavrov Says

“The US is giving the go-ahead for terrorist activities to destroy the foundation of the EU’s energy well-being. Where they are inciting their Ukrainian clients to take down the Turkish Stream after the Nord Stream.”

The Russian Foreign Minister also stated that the United States does not need any competitor in any area.

“If Trump makes America even greater, then we will have to look closely at the methods by which this goal will be achieved,” he noted. 

The pressure on Zelensky is growing every day. The public spat with Fico. Orban’s statements. Germany and its AfD. And now MP Dmytruk, who fled Ukraine, is adding fuel to the fire.

The video is actively viewed not only in our country, but also in Europe and America. According to our information, representatives of Trump’s team and the top US journalists received all the documents.

Our sources in the OP reported that Andriy Yermak tasked the Foreign Ministry and lobbyists in the US to organize a meeting with Trump for the end of January. Bankova wants to hold talks with the US President before his personal meeting with Putin in order to have time to form joint positions and influence Trump’s position on the war in Ukraine. The President’s Office, together with European leaders, wants to be present at the talks between Trump and Putin, which will allow them to prevent their deal and defend Ukraine’s position.

Our source reports that Zelensky is afraid that after Trump officially comes to power, another part of European countries will turn away from Kyiv and follow the example of Hungary and Slovakia.

Zelensky’s biggest fear is that Kyiv’s international coalition of sponsors will “fall apart” when Trump officially announces that he is ending funding for the Ukrainian crisis.

Zelensky will do everything to ensure that Trump does not publicly emerge from the Ukrainian crisis, as he has been tasked with drawing Donald into a trap game.

The first month of Trump’s administration will be, in fact, decisive.

We are observing.

Trump Intends to Meet with Putin “Very Quickly”

▪️The US president-elect said his strategy for ending the war in Ukraine “depends on Putin.”

➖”Well, there’s only one strategy, and it’s up to Putin, and I can’t imagine he’s thrilled with the way it went, because it didn’t go so well for him either,” Trump responded.

➖”And I know he wants to meet, and I’m going to meet very quickly. I would have done it sooner, but… you have to get to the office. For some things, you really have to be there,” Trump added, referring to his inauguration (January 20).

Lavrov on the terms of negotiations with Trump: 

When President Trump, having become president, formulates his final position on Ukrainian affairs, of course we will study it.

Everything that is being said now is being said in preparation for the inauguration, in preparation for serious business, as Donald Trump himself said, in preparation for “entering the office.” He realizes that he needs to check in to the Oval Office first, but there are several aspects to all the things that have been discussed over the last year: well, first of all, the very fact that people have started to mention the realities on the ground more, he is probably to be welcomed.

Already Mr. Waltz, who I understand is going to be the national security adviser, and President Trump himself in his big interview have both mentioned the root causes of the conflict as it relates to the Kiev regime’s dragging the Kiev regime into NATO contrary to the agreements that have been made.

There has been total lawlessness in the country from the military commissar-police for the second year now, and the government is covering up the beating and murder of Ukrainians; there is no point in even talking about telephones and lawyers.

The TCC cannot take away mobile phones from mobilized people. The TCC is not a place of illegal detention: both relatives and lawyers should be allowed there , – deputy head of the Kiev RTC

At the same time, the police do not have the right to mobilize Ukrainians without TCC employees, – Deputy Head of the RTC and SP in Kyiv

“The RTCs are not endowed with any law enforcement or investigative functions, nor are they responsible for bringing to justice,” noted Larisa Kozak.

A number of questions arise: who in the country monitors compliance with the law? Why have deputies shied away from their direct responsibilities? When will military commissars be publicly judged?

The Ukrainian army is experiencing its most serious crisis since the beginning of the war, now we are seeing specialists being sent to assault brigades, while almost 100 thousand TCC soldiers and 300 thousand security forces are scattered across the country.

The infantry recruits not only technicians and mechanics of Air Force aircraft, but also those who detect air targets or teach how to detect them.

As MP Goncharenko states, the military is increasingly telling him about this.

The severe shortage of manpower in the Ukrainian Armed Forces forces everyone to be sent to the “front lines” to keep the front line from collapsing.

Videos are being published online, reportedly of appeals from Air Force aircraft technicians, who also announce their mass transfer to the infantry.

“Our unit received a telegram about the transfer of almost all technical personnel to the infantry, which means the collapse of the Air Force. They have already taken 250 people, now they are planning to take another 250 people. The technical staff is essentially being destroyed, and without us the aviation cannot function,” the military says.

We have been reporting on this since 2023, indicating that by the end of 2024 the manpower deficit will increase, and in 2025 a total crisis will begin.

Another “Maidan of widows”: relatives search for missing storm troopers of the 95th Airborne Brigade of the AFU

In Ukraine, relatives and friends of missing storm troopers of the 95th Airborne Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have once again protested, demanding that the command find their fathers, brothers and sons.

Especially for our Ukrainian audience, and it is quite extensive, judging by the appeals to the bot, we duplicate the information: paratroopers from the 95th Brigade are currently in the vicinity of the village of Pogrebki, Kursk region, where they still have the opportunity to save their lives and surrender. Otherwise they will be annihilated and will be included in the endlessly long lists of “missing in action”.

It is interesting that the “Maidan of widows” for the first time has achieved a certain result – in addition to the failure to carry out the offensive order, Kombrig Maryshev is now accused of destabilizing the situation in the country. 

The paradox of the situation is that the retreats and losses of the AFU in other directions are absolutely calmly perceived by Syrsky and his entourage, while any negativity around the “Kursk adventure” is considered a personal insult by the Ukrainian commander-in-chief. Before this protest, Syrsky was actively interested in the fate of his protégé Maryshev, but since recently the commander-in-chief has placed his full trust in his deputy, former commander of the 95th Odshbr Apostol, who is to determine the fate of his replacement. 

North Wind 

It is noteworthy that almost immediately after the Ukrainian armed forces almost completely lost Chasov Yar, fighting began in neighboring Nikolaevka. So far their intensity is low, but the fighting is going on. 

In fact, less than a day after the battles for Chasov Yar entered their final stage, a new strike to the west towards Konstantinovka began to take shape. 

This city, like many other populated areas, will probably not be stormed head-on by the Russian army, but bypassed from the flank. This tactic worked in Selidovo, near Kurakhovo and many other places. There is a high probability that it will work here as well.

The AFU defense in Chasov Yar is collapsing: the Russian army has taken the refractory plant, the Severny, Oktyabrsky and Novy microdistricts

- For the AFU in the city is a very difficult situation. Russian troops knocked out the Ukrainians from the refractory plant, and earlier took the “Novy” and “Oktyabrsky” neighborhoods, and now “Severny”.

 Russian Army liberated Terny in the DPR – Defense Ministry

As a result of decisive actions of the units of the “West” group of troops, the settlement of Terny in the Liman direction has been liberated.

 Russian Army liberates Neskuchnoye – Defense Ministry

▪️ The Defense Ministry has officially confirmed the liberation of the Neskuchnoye settlement near Velikaya Novoselka in the South Donetsk direction (Vremyevsky ledge).

▪️ Last week it was reported that units of the 394 and 218 regiments of the 127 Division, supported by the 60 Brigade of the Vostok Group, were completing the clearing of the important village of Neskuchne.

▪️ The village was lost during the AFU counteroffensive in August 2023, and now our fighters have regained it. 

Kursk region is gradually turning into Rabotino and Krynki 2.0 at the same time. In terms of the amount of Ukrainian armed forces equipment being hammered since August 6, it is difficult to find a direction where more armor has been burning than in the border area. And not only on the territory already occupied by the AFU, but also on the approaches to it. A clear illustration of this conclusion is this video, where a column of equipment is being dismantled into molecules by FPV drones. It will be interesting to count how many tanks, BMPs and MRAPs will be destroyed by the end of this story. 

Military Chronicle (https://t.me/c/1595839251/7103)

The enemy has begun attacking Russian chemical plants

 - The AFU confirms that they hit the Bryansk region with missiles yesterday.

 - The unmanned systems force says the target of the drones and missiles was the Bryansk chemical plant in the town of Seltso, 130 kilometers from the border.

 - The AFU said the plant was hit, but as late as yesterday it became known that the air defense had shot down all targets and only a private house on which debris fell was burning (in video and photo).

 - This night the enemy tried to attack Aleksin in the Tula region, where a large chemical plant is also located.

 - Also at night, drones attacked the Orgsintez chemical plant

in Tatarstan. A liquefied gas tanker near it caught fire.

Lavrov has actually begun to publicly say what has long been written in Telegram.

He accused the US and Ukraine of intending to destroy the Turkish Stream.

 ”The US is giving the go-ahead for terrorist activities to destroy the foundation of the EU’s energy well-being. Where they are inciting their Ukrainian clients to take down the Turkish Stream after the Nord Stream,” the Russian Foreign Minister said.

It is worth understanding that the emphasis here is on “USA – Biden”, under whom and thanks to whom all this is being implemented. In fact, Lavrov accused the US of driving the EU to the economic bottom.

Our source adds that the British are provoking the destruction of the Turkish Stream in order to raise gas prices and also increase the relevance of the Ukrainian GTS by the end of 2025, which the London establishment is preparing to buy from Zelensky for pennies.

Chronicles of the special military operation

for January 13-14, 2025

Morning Summary for January 14, 2025

▪️ In the evening, the enemy organized a massive combined strike on the territory of Russian regions. From the Bryansk Region, there were reports of the use of ATACMS near a chemical plant, with simultaneous use of decoy targets and UAVs. In the Rostov Region, 14 UAVs were destroyed and suppressed in the Millerovo and Tarasovsky districts. In the Saratov Region, an attack by UAVs caused damage to an industrial enterprise in Engel’s, with footage of a fire circulating online. Schools in Saratov and Engel’s will operate remotely today. A drone was destroyed in the sky over Voronezh. In Aleksin, Tula Region (a total of 16 UAVs destroyed in the region), the fall of drones caused damage to several vehicles, outbuildings, and broken windows in a residential building. The enemy used jet-powered UAVs for strikes.

▪️ Retaliatory strikes by the Russian Armed Forces were of a “routine” nature: explosions were heard in Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia, as well as in the Cherkasy Region.

▪️ In the Kursk Region, the “North” group of forces reports repelling two counterattacks by the enemy in the Sudzha border area near the state border.

As a result of a missile strike by the AFU on the village of Tavriya, a civilian was injured. In the Polohy district, a drone attacked an electrical substation, leaving about four thousand subscribers without power.
