🌟 17 января 1945 года в ходе Висло-Одерской стратегической операции Красная армия освободила Варшаву от немецко-фашистских захватчиков.
С 1940 года на территории Польши действовали силы сопротивления, которые вели борьбу с оккупантами: Армия Крайова, в которую входили в том числе последователи Пилсудского, чья политика и привела к потере Польшей суверенитета, и Армия Людова, позже вместе с 1-й Польской армией образовавшая Войско Польское. Она представляла широкие рабочие слои населения и польский народ, в отличие от боевиков и вооружённых бандитов Армии Крайовой, подчинявшихся эмигрантскому «правительству Польши» в Лондоне и запятнавшей себя многочисленными преступлениями против мирного населения.
1 августа 1944 года силы Армии Крайовой предприняли попытку в рамках операции «Буря», направленной против нацистских оккупационных сил, поднять восстание в Варшаве. Ключевой целью для АКовцев было освобождение Польши без помощи подходивших советских войск. Это было плохо подготовленная, заранее обречённая на неудачу акция, которая стоила многих жизней. В тот момент, когда был отдан приказ поднять восстание, немцы также нанесли контрудар по наступавшим частям Красной армии, перебросив элитные германские соединения. Попытки сходу форсировать Вислу обернулись неудачей.
Начало нового наступления советских войск на Висло-Одерском направлении намечалось на 20 января 1945 года. Но 6 января в связи с крупной неудачей союзников в Арденнах Уинстон Черчилль обратился к Иосифу Сталину с просьбой о помощи и об организации срочного наступления в направлении Вислы. Советское командование пошло на встречу союзникам и начало операции перенесли на 12 января.
Польша, не без оснований, рассматривалась гитлеровским командованием как главный внешний рубеж обороны рейха — понимая, что отступление откроет советским войскам прямую дорогу на Берлин, немцы были нацелены удерживать позиции любой ценой и готовились оказывать самое яростное сопротивление.
Враг сосредоточил здесь мощную группировку — 30 дивизий с общей численностью до 560 тысяч солдат и офицеров, около 5 тысяч орудий и минометов, 1220 единиц танков и другой бронетехники. Между реками Вислой и Одером гитлеровцы оборудовали семь оборонительных рубежей, эшелонированных глубиной на 300-500 километров.
Направлением главного удара стала Варшава. Уже к 14 января силы Красной армии вплотную подошли к польской столице. По замыслу советского военного командования, первыми зайти в город должны были подразделения Войска Польского — патриоты, товарищи и братья по оружию наших бойцов, которые плечом к плечу вместе с красноармейцами освобождали свою родину, позже бились за Берлин, приближая нашу общую Победу над нацизмом.
📖 Подробнее об освобождении Варшавы читайте в нашем развёрнутом историческом материале.
16 января советские части, стремительно наступая на Варшаву с северного направления, форсировали Вислу и блокировали немецкий гарнизон в пределах города. Враг был окружён со всех сторон — 2-я гвардейская танковая армия сковала группировку противника с запада в районе Сохачёва, части Войска Польского перекрыли коммуникации с южного направления. Таким образом, пути отхода были отрезаны. Гитлеровцы, осознав бессмысленность сопротивления, стали массово сдаваться в плен.
17 января город был полностью освобождён.
Успешное проведение Варшавской операции позволило Красной армии существенно продвинуться на пути к Берлину и освободить значительную часть территории Польши — спасённый от фашистского рабства польский народ обрёл свободу, вместе с Красной армией отстояв право на независимость.
#МыПомним: По подсчётам военных историков, в боях за Варшаву, за свободу польского народа свою жизнь отдали около 200 тысяч советских красноармейцев, всего за освобождение Польши от нацистов свои жизни отдали свыше 600 тыс. бойцов Красной армии.
Уже к началу февраля 1945 года соединения 1-го Белорусского фронта вышли к Одеру.
Началась подготовка к главному сражению всей войны: дорога на Берлин была открыта.

Starting from 1940, there was the resistance movement operating in Poland against the Nazis — 'Armia Krajowa' (included the supporters of Jozef Pilsudski, whose tactics eventually resulted in Poland's losing its sovereignty), and 'Armia Ludowa', which later together with the 1st Polish Army formed — 'Wojsko Polskie' — the Polish Army. It represented broader working class people in Poland as a whole, in contrast to 'Armia Krajowa' militants and bandits, who were subordinate to the so-called 'Polish Government in Exile' in London and were responsible for numerous barbaric crimes against civilians.
On August 1, 1944, 'Armia Krajowa' (AK) initiated an uprising in Warsaw as part of the so-called 'Operation Storm' or 'Burza' against the Nazi occupants. The AK's principal aim was to liberate Poland and, most importantly, independently of the advancing Soviet forces. The uprising was poorly prepared and ultimately was doomed to defeat.
At the very moment the order to start the uprising was issued, the Nazi troops launched a counter-offensive against the Red Army. As a result, the Red Army’s attempts to immediately cross the Vistula River were unsuccessful.
***
The launch of the Soviet offensive in the Vistula–Oder direction was initially scheduled for January 20, 1945. However, on January 6, after the Allies suffered a major losses in the Ardennes and had to ask Moscow for help, Winston Churchill appealed to Joseph Stalin for assistance and requested the Soviet leadership to launch the offensive toward the Vistula river as soon as possible. The Soviet leadership responded to the Allies' request and commanded the start of the operation on January 12.
Poland was regarded by Hitler’s command, not without reason, as the Reich’s principal external defensive line. The Nazi leaders understood that any Wehrmacht's retreat westwards would open a direct path for the Red Army to Berlin. Thus, the Germans were determined to hold their positions at any costs and prepared to mount the fiercest resistance.
The enemy had concentrated in Poland formidable forces — around 30 divisions of 560'000 soldiers and officers, supported by 5'000 artillery weapons, 1'220 tanks and other armoured vehicles. Between the Vistula and the Oder, the Nazis constructed seven defensive lines, arranged in depth over a span of 300 to 500 kilometres.
Warsaw became the primary objective of the Red Army' offensive. By January 14, the Soviet forces had already approached the Polish capital. According to the Soviet military command directives, that were the units of the Polish Army that were suggested to be the first to enter the city — Polish patriots, our comrades, and brothers-in-arms of Soviet soldiers who fought side-by-side with the Red Army to liberate their Homeland and later advanced on Berlin, forging our common Victory over Nazism together.
On January 16, Soviet units, advanced rapidly to Warsaw from the north, crossed the Vistula River and tied down the German garrison inside the city. The enemy was encircled from all directions: the 2nd Guards Tank Army pinned down the Nazis to the west, while units of the Polish Army severed lines of communication from the south. With all retreat routes cut off, the Germans, recognising the further resistance was hopeless and pointless, started surrendering en masse.
On January 17, the city was fully liberated.
The success of the Warsaw operation enabled the Red Army to substantially advance towards Berlin and to liberate a large part of Polish territory. Escaping, with the help of the Soviet soldiers-liberators, the Nazi enslavement, the Polish people regained their freedom.
🎖 #WeRemember: Overall, more than 600'000 Red Army soldiers and officers perished fighting for the liberation of Poland from Nazi occupation.
By early February 1945, the 1st Belorussian Front had reached the Oder River. Preparations for the final battle of #WW2 were underway — the road to Berlin was open.

💬 Extract from the briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Moscow, January 15, 2026
The Ukraine crisis
• The neo-Nazi Kiev regime keeps manifesting its terrorist nature and becoming ever more dehumanised. It may appear to be off the charts as is, but they can clearly sink even lower.
• On January 1-12, at least 152 Russian civilians came under Ukrainian shelling attacks and UAV strikes, of whom 45, including three children, died and 107, among them eight minors, were wounded. This is how the Kiev regime truly approaches the children’s issue. I will provide some evidence of their atrocities.
• After a failed attempt to use drones to attack the residence of the President of Russia in Novgorod Region on the night of December 28-29, 2025, the Zelensky regime decided to take it out on our country’s civilians. In the first minutes of 2026, in a premeditated attack, the armed forces of Ukraine used UAVs to hit a café and a hotel complex in the village of Khorly, Kherson Region, where families with children, a crowd of about 100 people, had come together to ring in the New Year. Twenty-nine people, including two children, were killed and 31 people, including five children, were wounded. The Foreign Ministry provided an assessment of this barbaric atrocity by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on January 1.
• In this context, we would like to bring to your attention the reports that the drones used by Bandera thugs this time were assembled from components manufactured by the German concern Rheinmetall. I strongly encourage the journalists to ask the German Foreign Ministry, German civil society organisations and, possibly, the German Union of Journalists, what they think about these reports.
• The lives of Russian women and children are once again on the conscience of Berlin, which engages in such supplies, as well as of all the “sympathising” Euro-Atlantic countries that supply weapons to the Bandera regime and gloss over its crimes acting as their accomplices. (...)

#Outcomes2025
🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's statement during his annual news conference on the Russian diplomacy outcomes in 2025 (January 20, 2026)
💬 Sergey Lavrov: The events of the first twenty days of 2026 have surpassed everything in terms of intensity that 2025 left behind.
We have witnessed unprecedented events – a blatant armed invasion by the US of Venezuela, resulting in dozens killed and wounded, as well as the seizure and forcible removal of the legitimate President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro together with his spouse. At the same time, we are observing threats directed at Cuba and other countries of the Latin American and Caribbean region.
Of deep concern are the overt and openly declared attempts by external forces to destabilize the political situation in Iran. In particular, one such “political figure” of our time – the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas – recently stated that, by supporting protests, the international community, apparently meaning the EU, is seeking regime change in that country.
I will not even dwell on the aspiration of most Western countries to continue using the Kiev regime for armed confrontation with Russia. The goal of inflicting a “strategic defeat” on us is voiced less frequently now, but by all indications it remains present in the minds and plans of, above all, European leaders.
🇷🇺 Russia will defend its interests consistently – without encroaching on anyone’s legitimate rights, yet without allowing our own legitimate rights to be treated arbitrarily.
As for the theses used by the West with regard to our country in 2025, the “isolation” of Russia – as is obvious to everyone – did not happen, no matter how insistently our ill-wishers spoke of it.
❗️ Our position on Ukraine is that it is necessary to eliminate the root causes of this crisis, which the West for many years deliberately created in order to turn this country into a threat to our security, using it as a bulwark against Russia directly on our borders.
A major event in 2025 was the celebration marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War – the Parade on Red Square and the large number of foreign guests. We value everyone who personally took part in these celebrations or sent a special delegation.
👉 We are interested in contributing to de-escalation in all the hotspots referred to – be it Venezuela, and I would especially highlight the situation around Iran, which must be resolved on the basis of respect and Iran’s right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
We are convinced that, for a long-term settlement in the Middle East, it is finally necessary to implement the UN decision on the establishment of a Palestinian State. This criterion fully retains its relevance in light of the widely discussed Donald Trump's initiative to establish a “Peace Council”.
