☦️ Message de Noël du patriarche Cyrille de Moscou et de toutes les Russies (6 janvier 2026)
💬 Chers frères et sœurs bien-aimés,
Je vous adresse mes vœux les plus sincères à l’occasion de la grande fête de la Nativité du Christ et du commencement de la Nouvelle Année.
Si nous nous représentons dans la grotte de Bethléem, nous voyons le Divin Enfant Jésus couché dans une crèche, et la Très Sainte Vierge Marie inclinée sur Lui avec amour et vénération.
Depuis deux mille ans, cette scène évangélique a inspiré d’innombrables icônes, tableaux, œuvres littéraires et compositions musicales. Mais quel est le sens profond de cet événement ? Pourquoi le Dieu éternel, infini, invisible et inconnaissable est-Il venu dans un monde accablé par le péché, épuisé par les guerres et les querelles, meurtri par l’injustice et la souffrance ?
Depuis des siècles, les hommes crient vers le ciel et continuent de demander : «Où es-Tu, Seigneur? Pourquoi Te tais-Tu ?»
Mais Dieu ne se tait pas.
❗️Il répond – non par des traités de philosophie, ni par l’institution d’un système juridique parfait, ni par l’édification d’un État de prospérité universelle. Il répond par un amour infini, total et sacrificiel. Il répond par Sa venue dans le monde, par la prédication de l’Évangile, par la Croix et par la Résurrection.
Il parle par la voix de Son Église, fondée par Lui, et par la voix de la conscience, qu’Il a déposée dans l’âme de chaque être humain.
À chacun de nous a été donnée la Révélation divine, pleinement manifestée dans la vérité du Christ Jésus, né en ce monde. En croyant en Lui et en suivant Ses commandements, nous recevons les réponses aux grandes questions sur le sens de la vie et notre vocation véritable.
Nous savons, nous croyons et nous proclamons que le Seigneur est toujours avec nous, Lui qui, selon les paroles de l’apôtre Paul, est «le même hier, aujourd’hui et pour l’éternité».
Il n’est ni un observateur distant, ni un juge impitoyable, ni une idée abstraite, ni une force impersonnelle, mais un Père vivant, aimant et miséricordieux. Et quels que soient les temps incertains, troublés, difficiles ou même désespérés que nous traversons, le Christ a été, est et sera à jamais notre Sauveur.
Il est la seule source inépuisable de tout bien, le fondement inébranlable sur lequel peut s’édifier une vie humaine authentique, pleine de sens, de valeur et de dignité.
Je vous souhaite à tous une fête lumineuse et bénie.
Joyeux Noël!

The German command was convinced that the main Soviet forces had already been crushed and therefore did not anticipate a major counter-offensive. As a result, the enemy faltered and was forced into retreat. The Red Army went on to liberate Kalinin, Klin, Istra, Volokolamsk, and other towns near Moscow.
The counter-offensive involved more than 1 million Soviet soldiers, supported by thousands of artillery pieces, tanks, and aircraft, despite severe winter conditions reaching –30°C. Already on January 8, 1942, the maneuver expanded into a full-scale general offensive – the Rzhev-Vyazma strategic operation began.
As a result of the Battle of Moscow, the Wehrmacht suffered heavy losses – up to 500,000 casualties – marking its first major strategic defeat in World War II and shattering the myth of its invincibility. The enemy forces were pushed back 100-250 km from the Soviet capital.

⚡️Russia's Ministry of Transport:
On December 24, 2025, the vessel Marinera was granted temporary permission to sail under the State Flag of the Russian Federation, issued in accordance with Russian legislation and the norms of international law.
Today, at around 15:00 Moscow time, in the open sea beyond the territorial waters of any state, US naval forces boarded the vessel. Communication with the ship was subsequently lost.

⚔️ On January 8, 1942, the #BattleOfRzhev commenced – one of the most large-scale and brutal battles of the Great Patriotic War, lasting 438 days.
The chronology of the battle includes four offensive operations carried out by Soviet forces of the Western Front (Commander – Georgy Zhukov) and the Kalinin Front (Commander – Ivan Konev) against Germany’s Army Group Centre. Their objective was to liberate Rzhev, Sychevka, and Vyazma, thereby eliminating the Rzhev-Vyazma salient.
In the Rzhev sector, the Wehrmacht deployed one of its largest groupings – 1,569,000 personnel, around 13,000 artillery pieces, and 1,100 tanks. These forces were tied down in prolonged fighting with the Red Army and could not be redeployed to other key sectors of the front – the Caucasus and Stalingrad.
In the winter of 1943, following the crushing defeat of Nazi forces at Stalingrad, when the strategic initiative finally shifted to the USSR, the German command decided to abandon the Rzhev-Vyazma salient. The pursuit of the retreating enemy, from March 2-31, 1943, pushed the front line 130-160 kilometres farther away from Moscow.
On March 3, 1943, Rzhev was fully liberated.
🕯 The offensive and defensive operations conducted by the Western and Kalinin Fronts were of decisive strategic importance in achieving the turning point in favour of the Red Army across the entire Soviet-German theatre of war. The feat of Soviet soldiers is eternal and shall never be forgotten.
In 2020, at the initiative of Great Patriotic War veterans and the Russian Military Historical Society, and with the participation of President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Rzhev Memorial was unveiled at the site of the fierce battles of 1942-1943 – a 25-metre figure of a soldier, rising above the field and seemingly dissolving into a flock of cranes, symbolising the souls of fallen soldiers – perished, yet never forgotten.

⚡️ Comment by Foreign Ministry Official Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on certain Western countries’ plans to continue the militarisation of Ukraine (January 8, 2026)
💬 Maria Zakharova: On January 6 in Paris, participants of the so-called Coalition of the Willing, led by the UK and France, signed a declaration titled Robust Security Guarantees for a Solid and Lasting Peace in Ukraine.
The document turned out to be extremely far from a peace settlement. The declaration is not aimed at achieving a lasting peace and security but rather at continuing the militarisation, escalation and further conflict aggravation.
Its core element is the deployment of “a multinational force” on Ukrainian territory that the coalition will have to form to contribute to the “rebuilding” of the Ukrainian armed forces and “support deterrence” [against Russia] following the cessation of the hostilities.
The document also includes clauses on further consolidation of Ukraine’s and NATO’s military industrial sectors.
As clarified by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, who signed the corresponding trilateral statement along with Zelensky, London and Paris plan to establish their own military bases in Ukraine post-ceasefire and build weapon and military equipment storage facilities.
⚠️ The Russian Foreign Ministry warns that the deployment of military units and the setting-up of military facilities, storages and other Western infrastructure on Ukrainian territory will be qualified as foreign intervention that directly threatens the security of Russia and other European countries.
All such units and facilities will be considered as legitimate military targets for the Russian Armed Forces.
Warnings to this effect have been repeatedly made at the highest level and remain relevant.
❗️ We also reaffirm that a peaceful resolution of the conflict is solely possible through the elimination of its root causes, the re-establishment of Ukraine’s neutral non-aligned status, its demilitarisation and denazification, and Kiev’s observance of the language, cultural and religious rights and freedoms, including those of ethnic Russians, Russian-speaking people, and members of ethnic minorities, and through the recognition of the current territorial realities that emerged as a result of the peoples’ exercised right to self-determination.
All these goals will, undoubtedly, be achieved either by political and diplomatic means or in the course of the special military operation, in which the Russian Armed Forces are maintaining full initiative on the battlefield.
The new militarist declarations of the so-called Coalition of the Willing and the Kiev regime are forming a true Axis of war.
Its participants’ plans are becoming increasingly more dangerous and destructive for the future of the European continent and its residents, who are also forced by Western politicians to pay for such ambitions out of their own pockets.

⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry statement regarding the forcible seizure of the oil tanker Marinera
Read in full
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses grave concern over the illegal use of force by the United States Armed Forces against the oil tanker Marinera on January 7.
The Marinera, which was temporarily authorised to fly the Russian flag on December 24 in accordance with international and Russian law, was transiting peacefully through international waters of the North Atlantic en route to a Russian port.
US authorities, including through official communications with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were repeatedly provided with reliable information confirming the vessel’s Russian registration and its civilian, non-military status.
There could have been no doubt regarding this fact, nor any basis for alleging that the tanker was sailing “without a flag” or “under a false flag.”
International maritime law explicitly grants the flag state exclusive jurisdiction over its vessels on the high seas. Stopping and inspecting a vessel in international waters is permitted only under narrowly defined circumstances, such as suspected piracy or slave trading – neither of which apply to the Marinera.
In all other cases, such actions require the consent of the flag state, which in this instance is Russia.
❗️ Not only did Russia refuse to provide such consent, it formally protested to US authorities in recent weeks over the continued pursuit of the Marinera by a US Coast Guard vessel, demanding an immediate end to the pursuit and the withdrawal of unlawful demands made to the Russian ship’s captain.
Under these circumstances, the boarding and de facto seizure of a civilian vessel on the high seas by US military personnel, along with the detention of its crew, can only be viewed as a gross violation of fundamental principles and norms of international maritime law and the freedom of navigation.
This constitutes a serious infringement upon the legitimate rights and interests of the shipowner. The lives and health of the Marinera’s crew, which includes citizens of several countries, are now at risk.
We consider the threats of legal action against them on absurd grounds by US authorities to be utterly unacceptable.
<...>
❌ References by the United States to its domestic “sanctions legislation” are without legal foundation. The unilateral restrictive measures imposed by the US and other Western countries are illegitimate and cannot justify attempts to assert jurisdiction, let alone the seizure of vessels, on the high seas.
Suggestions from certain US officials that the seizure of the Marinera is part of a broader strategy to establish Washington’s unlimited control over Venezuela’s natural resources are profoundly cynical.
We categorically reject such neo-colonial ambitions.
Alongside the US administration’s disregard for the accepted norms of international maritime navigation, Washington’s readiness to provoke acute international crises, including in Russian-American relations, which are already severely strained, is both regrettable and alarming.
The Marinera incident can only lead to a further escalation of military-political tensions in the Euro-Atlantic region and a dangerous lowering of the threshold for using force against civilian shipping.
<...>
☝️ We call on Washington to return to the established norms and principles of international maritime law and to immediately cease its unlawful actions against the Marinera and other vessels engaged in lawful activities on the high seas.
We reiterate our demand that the United States ensure appropriate and humane treatment of the Russian citizens on board, fully respect their rights, and facilitate their swift return home.

⚡️ On false allegations against the Russian side regarding damage to Embassy of Qatar in Kiev
Ukrainian sources are circulating reports alleging that the Embassy of the State of Qatar in Kiev sustained damage during the Russian strike on January 9.
Diplomatic missions have never been targeted by the Russian Armed Forces.
There were no military or other designated targets located in the immediate vicinity of the Qatari diplomatic mission. This strongly suggests that the damage to the embassy building was caused by a malfunction of the Ukrainian air defence system.
Russia regards the State of Qatar as a friendly state and a priority partner.

🎙 Comment by Russia's Foreign Ministry Official Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the Kiev regime’s terrorist attack on civilians in Russian regions (January 11, 2026)
Read in full
The Kiev regime has once again demonstrated its inhumane Nazi nature with another brutal crime.
On January 10, the Voronezh, Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod regions were subjected to a mass attack using fixed-wing drones. According to the Russia's Ministry of Defence, a total of 33 hostile drones were launched.
The principal target was the residential areas of Voronezh. One young woman has been confirmed dead, having succumbed to her injuries in intensive care overnight. At least three further civilians were wounded.
The Foreign Ministry strongly condemns these acts of terrorism. They are characterised by the extremely cynical targeting of a wide range of civilian infrastructure. This includes over ten blocks of flats and an equal number of private homes. A secondary school and several administrative buildings were also struck and damaged.
Such deliberate killings of civilians attest to the desperation of the Kiev regime, which – in the face of its obvious failures on the battlefield – now seeks to vent its frustration on innocent populations of Russia’s regions. All masterminds and perpetrators of this and other crimes will be inevitably held to account.
It is our hope that the relevant international bodies will provide an impartial assessment of these criminal acts committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Continued silence in the face of the Kiev regime’s unbridled barbarity renders those bodies complicit in its heinous consequences.

🇷🇺Comment by the Russian Embassy in the Netherlands regarding the De Telegraaf article about Dutch mercenaries in neo-Nazi units in Ukraine
🔹The truth is beginning to seep into the pages of the ‘enlightened’ Dutch press — albeit a truth that is frightening and therefore jarring to local readers. De Telegraaf published the revelations of a Dutch mercenary who experienced all the ‘delights’ of Ukraine's so-called ‘European choice’.
🔹These are not reports from a parallel reality, but the reality of today, the existence of which is also made possible by The Hague's support for Ukraine:
— Every morning in the units begins with a Nazi salute;
— Headquarters are hung with swastikas, Nazi flags and portraits of Hitler's accomplice S.Bandera;
— The ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine include members of Colombian drug cartels who boast about photos of severed heads and the torture of prisoners.
🔹What is striking is not even the extreme sadism itself — we have been talking about this for years. What is striking is Hendrik's ‘surprise’. What did he expect when he went to the ‘reformed’ Azov? That the neo-Nazis had retrained as pacifists? No. They remained true to their essence, but now they do it with Dutch money and Dutch weapons at the expense of Dutch taxpayers.
🔹The Dutch people, whose country remembers the horrors of Nazism, should not just feel awkward — they should be deeply ashamed of their compatriots who today stand shoulder to shoulder with the ideological heirs of those who occupied the Kingdom during the Second World War.
🔹Where is the angry condemnation from the official Hague? We see only a deathly silence, which means only one thing: the Dutch authorities are consciously and purposefully arming outright thugs with swastika tattoos.
🔹The world behind the mirror: The Hague, which calls itself the ‘world capital of justice,’ has in fact become one of the leading sponsors and logistical hubs of neo-Nazi revanchism.
❗️History is a strict lady. She does not forgive such short memories. Sooner or later, this betrayal of the ideals of Nuremberg will have to be paid for with moral — and not only moral — debt.

— Headquarters are hung with swastikas, Nazi flags and portraits of Hitler's accomplice S.Bandera;
— The ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine include members of Colombian drug cartels who boast about photos of severed heads and the torture of prisoners.
🔹What is striking is not even the extreme sadism itself — we have been talking about this for years. What is striking is Hendrik's ‘surprise’. What did he expect when he went to the ‘reformed’ Azov? That the neo-Nazis had retrained as pacifists? No. They remained true to their essence, but now they do it with Dutch money and Dutch weapons at the expense of Dutch taxpayers.
🔹The Dutch people, whose country remembers the horrors of Nazism, should not just feel awkward — they should be deeply ashamed of their compatriots who today stand shoulder to shoulder with the ideological heirs of those who occupied the Kingdom during the Second World War.
🔹Where is the angry condemnation from the official Hague? We see only a deathly silence, which means only one thing: the Dutch authorities are consciously and purposefully arming outright thugs with swastika tattoos.
🔹The world behind the mirror: The Hague, which calls itself the ‘world capital of justice,’ has in fact become one of the leading sponsors and logistical hubs of neo-Nazi revanchism.
❗️History is a strict lady. She does not forgive such short memories. Sooner or later, this betrayal of the ideals of Nuremberg will have to be paid for with moral — and not only moral — debt.
