Kremlin snuffbox/Кремлевская табакерка, Dec 8 2025

Belousov demanded a stricter selection process for contract soldiers sent to the Northern Military District

The Ministry of Defense has repeatedly noted the "poor combat performance" of many new contract soldiers [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6020 ]. But now, according to our sources within the ministry, the situation has become so dire that Andrei Belousov has been forced to intervene personally.

"Andrei Removich has ordered a significant tightening of the selection process for those joining the SVO under contract. And a strict weeding out of those who, in the hopes of a quick end to hostilities, are hoping to join the army, earn money, and avoid fighting. They'll have to fight!" said one of our sources.

Another noted that the minister was "shocked" by the statistics regarding contract soldiers at the front:

"I won't reveal all the figures; that's classified information. But I can say that, on average, a contract soldier at the front lives 2.5-4 months. Then comes death or serious injury, after which he's no longer a fighter. The reasons for such dismal statistics are the low quality of personnel and problems with motivation. And something needs to be done about this."

The source noted that measures to combat this negative trend have already been developed. He urged that only those who truly want to fight, or at least understand that they will have to fight no matter what, and the SVO definitely won't end tomorrow, should sign up for the contract.

Trump Jr. is a tool or an unregistered Russian agent.  The Ukrainian people are not “happy” about the capitulation “agreement” Trump is trying to force on them.

It’s so “refreshing” to see a US president who so readily turns his back on people who are fighting for their freedom against an oppressor. 

One wonders: would Trump have chided Jews for complaining about the roughness of the cattle cars the nazis used to haul them to the death camps?

... Zelensky has remained in power after introducing martial law, thereby postponing a presidential election that otherwise would have taken place in 2024. ...

In the real world, the Ukrainian Constitution forbids Presidential elections during a time of war, a provision that predates Putin's 2022 invasion.

Trump says to Zelinsky: Ending the war is the easiest thing in the world. You just have to immediately surrender and give Putin everything he wants. And bada-bing bada-boom, no more war. See how simple it is? I am the great peacemaker after all.
You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

One of Russia’s largest military bloggers, Yuri Podolyaka, has admitted on air that after three and a half years of war the Russian army is still unable to supply its troops with basic essentials - underwear, socks, even standard uniforms. Soldiers are forced to buy their own kit or depend on volunteers funded by civilians. The Defence Ministry, he said, is perfectly aware of the problem but has done nothing to fix it.

Once again, Russia and USA are allies. Although this time we are fighting to put Nazis back in power.

Which is a nuance.

Europe circles the wagons around corruption-tainted Zelenskyy after Trump criticism
December 9, 2025 | Kevin Haggerty

While “the paper of record” got around to covering Ukraine’s corruption scandal, key leaders in Europe embraced the nation’s leader once more as he took heat from President Donald Trump.

Last week, the chief executive dispatched Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, along with son-in-law and former senior adviser Jared Kushner, to meet with officials in Ukraine as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss Trump’s peace plan. Monday, following the president’s expression of being “disappointed” with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Eastern European leader was welcomed at 10 Downing Street for a show of support from the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

“We stand with Ukraine,” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said while hosting Zelenskyy with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “If there is to be a ceasefire, then it needs to be a just and lasting ceasefire; that is why it is so important we repeatedly set out the principle that matters about Ukraine are for Ukraine.”

“We stand here to support you in the conflict and support you in negotiations,” added the prime minister at the same time a corruption scandal in Ukraine saw the resignation of Zelenskyy’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak while agencies in the country probe whether or not Zelenskyy ally Timur Mindich led a group responsible for laundering around $100 million from the Ukrainian energy sector.

I'm really sick and tired of "special envoys" Witkoff and Kushner.  They hold NO official position in the U.S. government, have never been confirmed by the Senate, and thus have no legal treaty-making authority to do anything except by Trump's whim.  Secretary of State Rubio should be the one handling this instead of those two grifters, who see everything as a potential real estate deal and are susceptible to bribary by the Russians.

@StratcomCentre

Another dark turn for the Russian economy as Russians figure out that the average price of gasoline is now officially 8% higher than in the US.

With median US salary being 9.5X higher than median Russian salary, this must be quite an embarrassment for the Russian dictator.

[Sergey] Karaganov: We’re at war with Europe, not Ukraine — and the war won’t end until Europe is defeated.

Back in the very old days, the classified word was the Russians once got past Fulda Gap, it was 3 days to the English Channel - regardless of the use of tactical nukes.

Should have gone for it then with their far larger Armies and mechanized vehicles, as they would never make it now. Their coms were secure with 5-day pads, ours was in the clear.

"Vladimir Putin’s [bastard] sons revealed in leaked pics Russian dictator doesn’t want you to see: ‘Loneliest boy’ "

"Putin is fiercely protective of his alleged secret children and isolates them for fear they will be assassinated. The boys and their mother are said to live an ultra-reclusive life in a heavily fortified forest compound in Valdai, northwest of Moscow.

The boys also use the alias Spiridonov as their last name, according to the authors and gym tournament records viewed by The Post.

“Information about [Kabaeva] and her children is erased from state databases, the boys were given a cover surname — Spiridonov, and all the territory around the Valdai dwelling of the tsar’s family is strictly guarded,” according to journalists Roman Badanin and Mikhail Rubin.

Putin and Kabaeva, 41, have been linked since at least 2008, however, they have never publicly acknowledged their alleged 17-year relationship. One Russian publication that speculated about it was shut down shortly after and state media is banned from any mention of links between the two ..."

And how do you hold an election in a country where a significant portion is occupied by an invading army and its citizens have fled the carnage with no official records of where they are. In addition its cities are being bombed nightly.

Trump is a fool.

Where's the similar demand for Putin's actual election?

Russia's last AN-22 crashes and the crew dies.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eE5iS85Sic

The AN-22 first flew in 1964 and this last airworthy-ish example was being restored to service after reportedly 20+ years rotting in a field.

This underlines how desperate the Russians are at this stage of their stupid war that they're resorting to museum pieces to wage war and the museum pieces end up killing more Russians than do the Ukrainians.

First, of course, before they hold an election, they need to rewrite their Constitution, something 47 seems totally unaware of, reflecting the horrible advice he's getting from the Witkoff and Kershner team that seems to be working hard for Russia, not the US.

AI Response:
operational history.

The An-22 was produced between 1966 and 1976, with a total of 68 aircraft built.
It served with the Soviet Air Force and Aeroflot, and later with the Russian Aerospace Forces and Antonov Airlines. The aircraft saw extensive use in military and humanitarian airlifts, including operations during the Yom Kippur War, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Chernobyl disaster relief, and various peacekeeping missions. A single civil variant, registered UR-09307, operated by Antonov Airlines, was damaged during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

As of December 2018, only 3 An-22s were airworthy, with the remaining aircraft operated by the 76th Military Transport Air Squadron at Tver.

By August 2024, Russia had ceased operating its An-22 fleet, with 1 aircraft being prepared for museum display. The last operational An-22, operated by the Russian Aerospace Forces, crashed on 9 December 2025 near the Uvodskoye Reservoir in Ivanovo Oblast, Russia, during a test flight. The aircraft was destroyed, and all 7 crew members on board are presumed dead. This incident marked the end of the An-22's service life, with the aircraft officially retired as of December 2025.

What a tool.  America used to stand for defending the freedom of the little guy; now, it stands for selling out the little guy to the first blood-stained tyrant who makes a play for it.

What a disappointment.

WRT still using the An-22, the USAAF still uses the much older B-52, C-130, and KC-135. Sometimes a thing works too well to scrap. Apparently the Russians have several An-22s in reserve storage, that whether they can be recovered is questionable. Russian maintenance processes have not been the best, and this An-22 was doing a test flight when it had a malfunction and subsequently/consequently crashed.

"Russia planned to bomb US-bound cargo planes, poison water supplies as part of covert war against Europe: report"

By Ronny Reyes
NY Post (Dec. 10, 2025)

"Russia has employed “gig worker” saboteurs to carry out attacks across Europe — including trying to bomb US-bound cargo planes, derail trains and even poison water supplied, according to a shocking new report.

An analysis of a series of deniable hybrid attacks and sabotages occurring across Europe in recent years have pointed to a web of freelancers employed by Russian agents to test the continent’s vulnerabilities for war, experts told the Financial Times...

One of the incidents clearly aimed at testing Europe’s vulnerabilities came in July 2024, where DHL parcels exploded at logistics hubs in the UK, Poland, and Germany.

Had the bombs exploded in the air, they would have brought down the cargo planes.

The plot, which was linked to a group of Russian-directed saboteurs, was aimed at preparing for attacks on US-bound cargo planes that would recreate the chaos the airline industry faced in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, security officials told the FT.

These attacks and others like it are allegedly part of Moscow’s long-reaching espionage campaign across Europe, which sees Russian-linked agents recruit willing participants online to carry out their work, according to the FT.

The saboteurs are typically young men motivated solely by money with no real connections to Russia itself, with Moscow happy to use them as a disposable force that cannot be traced back to them..."

(** recall also, the French TGV supertrain line was sabotaged in August 2024, during the Paris Olympics ...)

That does appear to be what is happening. And I agree, it is a huge disappointment.

Reuters reports that the Syzran oil refinery, which was attacked by Ukrainian Defense Forces on December 5, has halted its operations. The attack disabled the AVT-6 crude distillation unit, which is key equipment for the refinery and had previously been damaged by drone strikes.
