Russia shares evidence of the drone attack on Putin's residence. From Simplicius:

"The foiled attack on Putin’s residence, by the way, is quite interesting given that the West denied it in full at first, but as soon as Russia began to present evidence of it, the tune quickly changed. Now Western rags claim that the drones were headed to the same region of Putin’s residence, but to a military site ~50km away.

"Russia apparently is taking it more seriously than initially thought, given that they have now presented to the US the captured data chip of one of the shot-down drones which allegedly has the flight and targeting data said to prove the drone’s terminal target was in fact Putin’s residence.

"Note the below unprecedented video where Russian intelligence chief, head of the GRU Igor Kostyukov, hands over the flight controller to military attachés from the US embassy in Moscow:

‘Decryption of navigation controllers… unequivocally CONFIRMED that target of attack was Russian President’s residence in Novgorod region’

Military Intelligence Chief Igor Kostyukov transfers info to America

Decrypted flight plan data from Kiev drone HANDED OVER to US

MoD confirms transfer to rep. of military attaché's office at US Embassy in Moscow

Many now believe that the reason Russia is following such a formal protocol is because Russia is setting the legal precedent to sharply escalate attacks against the Kiev regime in 2026. I leave it to you to decide if that is true or not; personally, I’m skeptical, but it’s a possibility worth noting in case something does happen.

Deep State infighting (CIA v. Pentagon) makes Trump's seemingly incoherent "policy" in Ukraine hard to follow, but step back and look at the big picture to see the Empire's consistent war to harm Russia, as Brian Berletic has been reminding us.

Moscow slams Western silence over Ukrainian massacre on New Year’s Eve

Ignoring Kiev’s “terrorism” is tantamount to “open complicity,” Russia’s UN mission in Geneva said

Russia has condemned the lack of reaction from Western countries following a deadly Ukrainian drone strike on civilians celebrating New Year’s Eve in the Kherson region, calling the silence a sign of “complicity” in the “bloody crimes” of neo-Nazis in Kiev.

The attack, which occurred shortly before midnight on December 31st in the village of Khorly, involved multiple drones, at least one carrying incendiary weaponry. Russian officials report at least 24 people have been killed, including a five-year-old boy, and over 50 wounded.

“We resolutely condemn this outrageous act of barbarity by Zelensky and his clique, who have long since transformed into bloodthirsty monsters,” Gennady Gatilov, Russia’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said in a statement.

“The main goal of this regime is to ...

Hope to see you all asap.
