Moscow Shrugs Off Biden's Withdrawal: Victory in Ukraine Takes Precedence Over US Election Drama
In a recent statement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the significance of the US presidential election outcome on Russia’s strategic priorities, emphasising that the conflict with Ukraine remains the primary focus for Moscow.
Peskov, speaking to Russian news outlet Life on Sunday, asserted that “reaching the goals of the special military operation [against Ukraine] is a priority, rather than the outcome of the US elections.” His remarks came in response to US President Joe Biden's unexpected withdrawal from the presidential race earlier that day.
Tensions escalated as Ukrainian President Zelensky called Russian President Putin a "dumbass" after Putin proposed a missile duel. Dmitry Medvedev blasted Zelensky, calling his remarks a "middle finger" to U.S. President-elect Trump and labeling him "Bandera scum." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized Zelensky’s lack of composure, highlighting the deepening hostility between the nations.

In a rare and high-stakes diplomatic exchange, Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reconnected for the first time in nearly two years, engaging in a detailed and frank hour-long conversation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov characterised the call as a candid discussion where both leaders outlined their positions on the Ukraine conflict. Putin, speaking in Russian through a translator despite his German proficiency, reiterated Moscow’s demands for Ukraine’s neutrality, demilitarisation, and the recognition of Russian-annexed territories. Scholz, facing a political crisis at home, pressed for a withdrawal of Russian troops and reaffirmed Germany’s strong support for Ukraine. The timing of the call, coinciding with key international events, marks a pivotal moment in Russia-Germany relations as diplomatic tensions continue to mount.

U.S is inaugurating a new NATO missile defense base in Redzikowo, Poland, 150km from Russia's Kaliningrad Region. This second Eastern European base joins NATO's broader missile shield system. Kremlin spokesman Peskov denounced it as containment of Russian military potential, promising countermeasures. While Poland celebrates strong US alliance, Russia maintains NATO's expansion threatens its security and denies aggressive intentions toward Western Europe.

The Kremlin has strongly refuted recent claims suggesting that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken in recent days, calling the reports "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations, which had been reported by The Washington Post and Reuters, labelling them as a "complete lie." According to these reports, Trump had supposedly urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Peskov mocked the rumours, describing the information as "false" and criticised the quality of such reports being published by reputable outlets. He further stated that, as of now, there were no concrete plans for Putin to engage in talks with Trump, despite earlier reports hinting at potential discussions between the two leaders.

In a stunning turn of events, Russia has refused to congratulate Donald Trump on his victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov made it clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin had no plans to offer congratulations to the former U.S. president, citing the current hostile relationship between the two nations, exacerbated by U.S. support for Ukraine. While Russia remains open to dialogue, the Kremlin is watching closely for any changes in U.S. foreign policy once Trump officially takes office.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

In a bold statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the Oreshnik ballistic missile as a “game-changer” in Russia’s defense capabilities, following its successful use in a strike on a Ukrainian weapons manufacturing facility in Kazan. Putin emphasized that the missile, capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 10, represents a significant leap in missile technology, showcasing Russia’s advancement in hypersonic warfare. The missile's deployment has raised alarms globally, as it is touted as virtually impossible to intercept by even the most advanced Western air defense systems. Putin’s remarks underscore Russia’s growing military might and serve as a stark warning to the West about the evolving balance of power in global defense.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.

The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump.
