"The West's strategy in Ukraine is not working", Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico says in his article.
Fico blames the West for having first provoked the escalation and then blocked peace talks, hoping to defeat Russia.
"From the very beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, I rejected the black-and-white view Washington or Brussels want us to take. The war in Ukraine has its roots in 2014 and is linked, among other things, to the developments in Ukrainian politics and the Ukrainians' relations with their Russian fellow citizens, as well as the influence of the US on everything that has happened in Ukraine since 2014.
Russia responded to the security situation and pressure from Kiev's plans to join NATO and using military force without an international mandate. Big countries often do this: look at what the US has achieved in Iraq.
The West, instead of making an urgent effort to establish a ceasefire in early 2022, made a huge mistake. It misjudged the situation, taking it as an opportunity to bring Russia to its knees. It has been proven that at the very beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, the West prevented the Ukrainians from signing a ceasefire on fair terms at least twice.
The West is trying to exploit Russia's violation of international law, supplying Ukraine with tons of weapons, billions of dollars, burdening Russia with sanctions, attacking Russia's basic revenues and hoping that a Ukrainian soldier will bring them the Russian bear's head on a tray. This has been, and unfortunately still remains, the Western strategy, and I openly state that it has failed and I do not agree with it.
I am not one of those Slovak politicians who are happy to see Russia being presented as Slovakia's enemy. The way the West has been repeatedly wrong in its assessment of the situation in Russia is shocking. Russia is in full control of the occupied territories. Neither the country's economy nor its currency has collapsed, and the sanctions increase its self-sufficiency"

The US resumed oil imports from Russia after a year and a half break.
According to the statistics department, in October last year the United States purchased 36.8 thousand barrels of oil from Russia. The import value was $2.7 million.
In November, the volume of purchases amounted to 9.9 thousand barrels for 750 thousand dollars. In both cases, the hydrocarbon was purchased for consumption.
At the same time, one barrel of Russian oil cost the United States $74 in October, and $76 the next month. This is significantly higher than the country's $60 per barrel price ceiling.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 12 Jan 2024 by 19:18⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, our aviation and artillery continue to hit ammo depots and AFU locations on the right bank, shelters on the left.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, a new area of our attacks, on #Nesteryanka northwest of #Kopani appeared. Active (counter)attacks by our military continue at #Verbovoye, our troops are clearing the AFU positions west of the village (⚠️yesterday there were repulsed AFU attacks). Ours are actively using Aerostar drone pilots are aiming artillery. The AFU respond with blows to our rear. They hit #Tokmak and #Molchansk.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces continue to squeeze the AFU from positions near #Staromayorskoye. To the west of the village, we managed to suppress the defence of the AFU at three strongpoints. At #Rovnopol, ours prevented the enemy from rotating, several AFU drone control points were hit. In #Maryinka sector, the southern flank of #Novomikhaylovka has stabilised. The territory that ours had to withdraw from a few days ago is grey zone. Our army is actively advancing northeast of the village, expanding the zone of control over the "Menagerie" (Zverinets fortified area).
🔹In #Donetsk Direction, our forces are developing success in the area of the treatment facilities at Coke Plant. Fierce fighting is going on at #Stepovoye. the AFU has quantitatively strengthened their units at #Berdychi and is holding back our attacks. In the eastern part of #Pervomayskoye, our troops are moving along Voroshilov Street and the Volna garden plots.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, our army is storming the heights northwest of #Kleshcheyevka and advancing southwest of the village. Ukrainian resources reported that our forces began to storm #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye), advancing in small groups on the northern flank. A sudden attack by our army hit the AFU between #Vesyoloye and #Berestovoye, which are located northeast of #Soledar. It is reported that ours are moving towards #Vyemka, which is in the direction of #Seversk. An interesting twist.
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, the AFU's attempt to counterattack in the area of the #Torskoye ledge was not successful. Ours, in turn, continued the attacks at #Yampolovka, today. However, without success. In the #Kupyansk sector, at #Sinkovka and #Ivanovka, our troops repulsed the AFU counterattacks. The enemy, apparently, is expecting a new blow from our army.
💥The Russian strikes on the #Kharkov region do not subside. There is evidence of the defeat of Ukrainian MLRS.

In Odessa, a woman desperately tries to prevent the forced conscription of her husband by Ukrainian soldiers.
The use of ambulance vehicles is now commonplace on Ukraine by conscription officers to conceal their movements.

In the event of a war in the Taiwan Strait, the damage to the global economy will be, according to Bloomberg, $10 trillion, which corresponds to 10% of global GDP. And Taiwan's economy will simply be destroyed.
In the coming days, the world's media feeds will be filled with this event. So here are “the main things you need to know”;)
– The elections will take place on Jan 13, but the counting of votes will take at least several days. Often on the island this process is delayed.
– The 2nd round is a traditionally ephemeral phenomenon in the case of Taipei)
– “The victory of the DPP candidate” does not equal “a violent reaction from Beijing” (especially in a military sense). This is version for the Western media
– Parliamentary elections will be held in parallel with the presidential elections
– Most likely a coalition will be formed from the People’s Party and the Kuomintang. Otherwise, everything will be much worse. A victory for the DPP also in parliament could quickly escalate the situation.
– The visit of the US delegation indirectly confirms the victory of the DPP
– Candidates: Lai Ching-te (DPP, current VP), Hou Yu (Mayor of Taipei, Kuomintang) and Ko Wenzhe (former Mayor of Taipei, People's Party)
– For the 1st time all 3 candidates come with a rating of 30-33%
– “Undemocratic democracy”: this could be the first time the DPP has a third term in a row
– Beijing is unlikely to get its hands dirty, but provocations are very likely
– Fraud and vote cheating are possible, the US will do everything to create a source of tension
– The inauguration will take place in May. By this time, the primaries in US and during the same period in China there will be "2 sessions” - the NPC and the legislative CPPCC - with problems in the economy there will be new personnel decisions. There won't be a blockade of the island until March.
So, if “everything as planned,” the movement will begin, as we discussed, no earlier than the fall.

The Houthi strike involved the USS Eisenhower, Philippine Sea, Gravely, and Mason in the Red Sea
22 fixed wing aircraft from the IKE
More than 80 Tomahawks were launched as part of the strike
As another military analyst noted that is a year's worth of production of the Navy slice of the Block V Tomahawk
One has to wonder the wisdom of expending that many cruise missiles given the production issues the US has faced. If the US is preparing for war with China then I really must question their judgement.
The US military has the greatest checkers players known to man.

Crews of Msta-B howitzers destroyed the enemy positions
Soldiers from the crews of the 152-mm towed howitzer Msta-B of the 114th motorized rifle brigade of the Southern Group of Forces defeated enemy personnel entrenched at a strong point in a forest belt in the Donetsk direction, and also destroyed an observation post of the Ukrainian Forces in one of the industrial buildings.
The reconnaissance UAV operator promptly identified a concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and transmitted the target coordinates to the command control post. Thanks to the adjustment of artillery fire from the air, carried out in real time, the gun crews inflicted fire damage on enemy personnel who were trying to gain a foothold in the forest belt. The second target for the artillerymen was an observation post of Ukrainian nationalists, discovered by intelligence officers in one of the buildings of the industrial zone.
Thanks to the effective work of artillerymen in conjunction with spotters and operators of reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles, more than one and a half dozen Ukrainian military personnel were destroyed. To destroy fortifications, high-explosive fragmentation shells were used, which made it possible to inflict maximum damage to fortifications, including buried concrete fortifications of the enemy.
Artillerymen of the Southern Group of Forces regularly provide fire cover for the actions of Russian units in all directions, destroying planned and unplanned targets at distances of over 20 kilometers. Thanks to their work, the enemy constantly suffers losses in manpower and equipment, and is also unable to move, supply ammunition and rotate personnel.
