Galushchenko is accused of money laundering and involvement in a criminal group. According to NABU, in 2021, a fund with a budget of 100 million dollars was established on the island of Anguilla [a British overseas territory]. Companies registered to the suspect's relatives were integrated into its structure. He laundered funds obtained from corruption schemes in the energy sector through accounts in Swiss banks. The investigation established that more than 7.4 million dollars, as well as over 1.3 million Swiss francs and 2.4 million euros, were deposited into the fund's accounts from Galushchenko.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Spiegel: Zelensky's talks with EU leaders on financing Kyiv failed. According to the publication, European countries failed to agree on a support mechanism. In particular, Berlin's proposal to allocate over 90 billion euros from frozen Russian assets for the purchase of weapons in the USA again did not receive approval.

"So far, the Europeans have not found a solution to the financial problems. At the meeting of Ukraine's supporters with President Zelensky on the sidelines of the conference in Munich, Berlin again failed to propose using 90 billion from frozen Russian funds for further purchases of weapons in the USA." "Paris, in particular, opposes this idea, with President Emmanuel Macron insisting that the 'frozen assets' be used as a priority for the supply of European weapons systems."

The publication quotes Zelensky. He described the situation as follows: "This is one of the worst things a leader of a warring country can hear: when the air force commander announces that the anti-aircraft units are empty." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

I watched Nuremberg 2025 and it felt less like history and more like a warning. In 1945 the U.S. prosecutor declared that aggression must be condemned by any nation — even those sitting in judgment. That was the foundation of the postwar order. Since then, the same powers have repeatedly bypassed that principle while accusing others of violating it. Western media acknowledged extremist battalions in Ukraine years before 2022. Amnesty warned of abuses in 2014. Yet Russia’s annual UN resolutions condemning the glorification of Nazism are routinely opposed by Western states. Nuremberg established universal accountability. The modern West practices selective legality. That contradiction is not sustainable. Full article and Hi-Rez Video on Substack. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

"Not a single undamaged station remains": Zelensky on the scale of the destruction of Ukraine's energy sector. His words are quoted by The Guardian. "I want you to understand the real scale of these attacks on Ukraine. As you can see, in just one month of January this year, we had to... defend ourselves against 6,000 attack drones, most of which were suicide drones, and more than 150 Russian missiles of various types, as well as more than 5,000 guided bombs. And this happens every month. <....> In Ukraine, there is not a single power station that has not been damaged by Russian attacks - not a single one." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

❗️ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed a new round of negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement, scheduled for Tuesday. Other statements by the US Secretary of State at the Munich Security Conference: 🟥At the negotiations on Ukraine, the range of issues that hinder the settlement was narrowed, but the most difficult issues remained. 🟥We don't know whether Russia is serious about resolving the conflict in Ukraine. They say they are serious. 🟥The idea of a world without borders and replacing national interests with a global order turned out to be stupid. 🟥The US wants Europe to be strong and able to survive. 🟥Mass migration in the West is of unprecedented scale, it threatens the cohesion and future of these countries. 🟥The US and its allies have been transferring sovereignty to international institutions, many have invested in social security at the expense of their ability to defend themselves. 🟥The UN has enormous potential, but on the most pressing issues, it has no answers and practically plays no role. 🟥The UN failed to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine, the negotiations between the parties became possible thanks to the US. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

FT: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio canceled his participation in a meeting with EU leaders in Munich on Ukraine The publication notes that this indicates a weakening of Washington's interest in Europe's participation in resolving the Ukrainian conflict. Rubio's schedule included a meeting with representatives of the European Commission, Germany, Poland, and Finland. The reason for the schedule changes was indicated as his busy schedule. A European source of the publication reported that without the participation of the US, these negotiations "lacked substance".

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 "We're in a total mess!" — The Armed Forces of Ukraine "defeated" NATO troops, — WSJ ▪️In a training battle, 10 Armed Forces of Ukraine soldiers disabled 17 units of armored vehicles with drones in half a day and carried out 30 strikes on other targets. At this pace, NATO forces could have lost up to two battalions in a day. ▪️NATO units' equipment and tents were located in an open field, and their movements were without sufficient cover. It was noted that the exchange of data was slow: some information was restricted as "sensitive", which led to delayed responses. ➖"We're in a total mess!" - one of the NATO commanders stated after the battle. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🤡 At the Munich Security Conference, NATO Secretary General Rutte, addressing representatives of countries that senselessly poured almost half a trillion dollars into Ukraine, tried to downplay the successes of Russian troops: "They want to look like mighty bears, but it can be argued that in Ukraine they are moving at the speed of a garden snail..." It seems that, carried away by building relations with the "daddy", Rutte overlooked the real scale: according to official data of the Russian Defense Ministry, as of December 18, 2025, 94,000 square kilometers have been liberated in the special operation zone, and in 2025 alone - over 330 populated areas and more than 6,300 square kilometers of territory. The irony is that the total liberated territory - almost 94,000 sq. km - is more than twice the size of the Netherlands - the country where Rutte was once the Prime Minister. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

‼️🇩🇪🇺🇦 The next meeting between Russia, the USA, and Ukraine may take place next week in Miami or Abu Dhabi: Munich offers Kyiv nothing — Politico ▪️For three years, the Munich Security Conference has been a key platform on Ukraine, but this time it is likely to simply document the stalemate in negotiations. ▪️According to six European officials, no specific decisions are expected from the meeting — at most, statements about "solidarity". ▪️The USA have made it clear to Kyiv that they will not formalize security guarantees until there is a general agreement between Ukraine and Russia on ending the war. The key stumbling block is territory: Moscow insists on full control over Donbass, while Kyiv is not ready for this. ▪️The Trump administration states that it does not use guarantees as a pressure lever: ➖ "He (Zelensky) wants everything to be agreed upon before signing a peace agreement. Otherwise, it could harm the negotiations," explained a source in the White House. ▪️The next US–Russia–Ukraine meeting is planned for next week — Miami or Abu Dhabi are being considered, as Washington sees a chance for progress there. ▪️However, the process is being slowed down by the overload of special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is simultaneously handling tracks on Iran and Ukraine. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
