[RusOnline] The Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov harshly warned Ukraine about the consequences of the aggression in Donbass.
At the same time, during a briefing before the military attachés of foreign states on the afternoon of December 9, Gerasimov stated that the situation in Donbass was escalating, and warned the Ukrainian authorities that any provocation with an attempt to resolve the ongoing conflict by force would be suppressed.
"The supply of helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and aircraft to Ukraine is pushing the Ukrainian authorities to take drastic and dangerous steps. Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements. The Ukrainian armed forces announce the beginning of the use in the Donbas of the Javelin anti-tank missile systems, which were supplied by the United States, and also use Turkish-made reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicles.
As a result, the already tense situation in the east of this country is aggravated. However, any provocations of the Ukrainian authorities to resolve the problems of Donbass by force will be suppressed," said the head of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.
[RIA Novosti] Kiev is pulling heavy artillery to the line of contact with Donbass, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
"The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission records the transfer of heavy weapons by Kiev to the east of the country, including large-caliber artillery and armored vehicles, the use of drones continues," she said at a briefing.
Earlier, the diplomat already spoke about the transfer of 125 thousand soldiers and officers to the east of the country by Ukraine - half of the personnel of the Armed Forces. NATO, which, according to the Russian authorities, is amassing its forces near the Russian borders, could provoke the Ukrainian authorities into "military adventures", which poses a direct threat to Russia's security , said Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
According to him, Kiev does not want to adhere to the Minsk agreements on Donbass on its own and is trying to incite its Western curators. Although a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the region is possible "solely on the basis of direct and unambiguous implementation of the Minsk agreements," the head of Russian diplomacy stressed.
In April 2014, the Ukrainian authorities launched a military operation against the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics . They declared independence after the coup d'etat in Kiev in February of the same year.

...I have a book in my personal library called Polish Acts Of Atrocity Against The German Minority In Poland, published in 1940 by the German Library of Information. You can imagine its contents.
And I'm waiting for the Soviet Russian/Ukranian version.

Both sides have been doing this for the last seven years.

[KavkazUzel] A military court in Rostov-on-Don today sentenced a resident of Makhachkala Gadzhi Gadzhiev to eight and a half years in a general regime colony, recognizing him as a member of the Islamic State.
A 19-year-old resident of Makhachkala, Gadzhi Gadzhiev, was accused of participating in a terrorist organization, undergoing training in order to carry out terrorist activities, participation in an illegal armed group, four episodes of assistance to terrorism and illegal arms trafficking.
"It was established that the defendant in November 2019 in Makhachkala joined the Islamic State terrorist organization, and was trained to carry out terrorist activities such as teaching mine explosives. He also underwent psychological training for propaganda, justification and support of terrorism, said the military court.
Hajiyev joined an illegal armed formation (IAF), where his duties included the acquisition of components for the manufacture of improvised explosive devices, collecting information about security officials in order to commit encroachments on their lives and attracting new members to illegal armed groups, the press service reported.
"From November 2019 to July 2020, in Makhachkala, the defendant, during personal meetings and correspondence in the messenger, encouraged citizens to join IS and take part in an illegal armed group. In November 2019, Hajiyev purchased components for making an improvised explosive device in Makhachkala, and in April 2020, he accepted ammunition and a pistol for storage," the spokesman added.
Hajiyev was found guilty and sentenced to eight and a half years in a general regime colony. He admitted his guilt in part. The verdict has not entered into legal force and can be appealed by the parties in the Military Court of Appeal.
There were no comments by Haji Hajiyev or his official representatives regarding the court's decision.
Five sentenced in Kaspiysk for terrorism
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that on April 14 a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced five residents of Kaspiysk: Bagauttin Medzhidov, Ismail Narchavov, Felix Pirveliev, Murad Abdulkerimov and Husein Ramazanov, to long terms of imprisonment, having found them guilty of creating a terrorist community and preparing to attack a police officer.
Abdulkerimov was sentenced to 18.5 years in prison. Narchavov - to 18 years, Pirveliev and Ramazanov - to 17.5 years, and Majidov - to 17 years.
The convicts were tortured after being detained, they planted grenades and ammunition, said lawyers Nadezhda Borodkina and Magomed Magomedov. On December 6, the Military Court of Appeal upheld the verdict on the residents of Kaspiysk.

[ColonelCassad] The control ship "Donbass", according to the FSB border service, left Mariupol and moved to the Kerch Strait without responding to inquiries. She now hangs out 18 miles north of the strait, avoiding contact with the strait-control authorities and ignoring directions to change course.
She can pass the strait only within the framework of an official request from the Russian coastal services. In this case, she can easily pass the strait and bring down wherever she likes, as in fact it is usually done by Ukrainian ships.
If she ignores the Russian coastal services and tries to simply break through the strait or, for example, drown herself in the channel, then this is an obvious provocation and then the Donbass must either be sunk or detained for violating the order of passage through the strait belonging to Russia.
The arrested team can then be exchanged for Russian citizens captured by Ukraine, starting with Andrey Kosyak.
PS. The control ship "Donbass" turned around and lay on the return course to Mariupol.
The approach to the strait was carried out exactly in time for Biden's call to Zelensky, where the Kiev puppet was informed about the current position of the United States.

[KP] “No, such plans are not being considered. What is not, that is not," said Biden on Thursday when asked if the US is ready to send troops to Ukraine to defend against Russia.
Kiev, of course, eagerly listens for any signals from Washington. After all, the American president decided to pause and inform Vladimir Zelensky about the results of the negotiations only two days later. And with these signals the devil himself will break his leg.
On the one hand, it is full of joy. European countries, one after another, refuse to fight for independence. On Thursday, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Lithuania Arvydas Anushauskas said bluntly: "Without a doubt, Ukraine understands that the protection of sovereignty is a matter for the country itself. And help from other countries is also needed, but it can be of very different forms."
News trickles into the press from Washington, one sadder than the other. "Senior State Department officials told Ukraine that its NATO membership is unlikely to be approved in the next decade," some sources say.
"Administration officials suggested that the United States would put pressure on Ukraine to officially cede part of its autonomy to the lands in the east," others say. The task of US President Joe Biden is to "induce Kiev to accept to some extent the real state of affairs in eastern Ukraine, while not creating the impression that it is inferior to President Putin."
Former US ambassador to Nezalezhnaya Stephen Pifer specified that it could be about giving Donbass control over healthcare, police and schools.
But on the other hand, there is an unconditional preponderance. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on behalf of the United States, fears that Vladimir Putin intends to make history by recreating the Soviet Union.
Former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Jan Brzezinski offers a “warning strike” on Moscow: “We may delay certain payments for gas and oil. Or disconnect Russia from SWIFT for a few days."
Next came Republican Senator Roger Wicker, who urged not to rule out a preemptive nuclear strike against our country so as not to lose "free democratic Ukraine." (which in itself sounds like a joke).
But here it is again zrada. And the Russian chief of the General Staff threatens to suppress military adventures in the Donbass.
And the new head of the German Foreign Ministry, Annalena Berbock, who usually does not strongly favor Russia, echoes Moscow: "The main goal of the European Union is to search for opportunities to contribute to a diplomatic solution to the conflict. The Minsk agreements play a decisive role. The absolute goal is to avoid military escalation." And how can you figure out who won?
But in no way, because no one won. Negotiations at this level are not held for the sake of someone losing. Obviously, there are some shifts in the position of Russia and the United States in relation to Ukraine and the role of NATO in its fate.
Some processes love silence. And it makes no sense to judge the whole picture by individual signals or speeches for the press (which are often just personal fabrications). She can only be seen after a while.

[KP] It was the editorial duty on duty: "What do people in Donbass think about the meeting between Putin and Biden?" Eight years of experience here told me that no one in Donetsk coordinated their personal plans with the conversation of world leaders.
It is a thankless task to look for projections of international events onto a poor life on the brink of survival. In Donbass, since 2014, there are two points of view on what is happening. Biblical: "Accept torment humbly” and military-Soviet: "You lie, you won’t take it!."

latest rumor is that Biden may force Ukraine to give Donbass (Russia influenced/occupied) autonomy which goes beyond the Minsk agreement.
Russia will gain way more leverage once gas is flowing thru Nord Stream 2.

Autonomy for Donetsk and Lugansk always has been a negotiating point for Minsk. Ukraine doesn't want a place at the table for the leadership of the two breakaway republics.
Only recently has Russia suggested they get that place at the table, itself a negotiating tactic for Volodya.
That is is such an outrage for the US side just shows how little attention has been paid to the region until US security serves began planting stories about it in the media.

Action and intelligent diplomatic solutions were unfortunately delayed due to the Biden Crime Family's activities in the region. No sense in highlighting obvious connections.
