Russia has firmly rejected a reported peace proposal from President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers that included delaying Ukraine’s NATO membership by two decades and deploying European peacekeepers to establish a demilitarized zone. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, speaking to TASS, emphasized that Moscow would not entertain such ideas, stressing the need for “reliable, legally binding agreements” addressing the conflict's root causes. Lavrov reiterated Russia's stance on a neutral, non-aligned Ukraine, citing preconditions outlined in the 2022 Istanbul talks and acknowledging territorial realities, including the integration of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye into Russia. The statement underscores the widening gap between U.S. and Russian approaches to resolving the Ukraine crisis.

In a historic move, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian signed a comprehensive cooperation pact in Moscow, solidifying the partnership between two of the world's most heavily sanctioned nations. The treaty aims to enhance military, political, and trade-economic ties, with a focus on regional security, energy collaboration, and the peaceful use of nuclear technology. Both countries seek to counter external interference, especially from the U.S. and NATO, while working on joint projects in sectors like gold and diamond mining, oil, gas, and infrastructure development. The agreement comes just days before Donald Trump's return to power, raising questions about the future of US-Iran relations.

Russian forces have claimed a significant victory near the strategic city of Pokrovsk in Donbass, successfully capturing fortified Ukrainian positions after a fierce assault. A video released by Russia's Ministry of Defense shows the destruction of a German-made Leopard tank, hit by a missile strike. Drone footage captures the devastating moment as the missile strikes the Ukrainian tank, followed by the collapse of a nearby shelter. The attack also involved suicide drones targeting deep trenches and dugout shelters. Despite heavy casualties on both sides, Russian troops have made substantial progress, intensifying the threat to the already vulnerable Pokrovsk. The city remains a crucial supply hub for Ukrainian defenses but is increasingly under pressure from Russian advances.
