A German took the language test for an Afghan – and got caught In a European bureaucracy reserve, there was an incident: A 27-year-old German citizen tried to take the language exam for a 38-year-old migrant from Afghanistan. For more realism, he even had a fake passport with him. However, the border officials in the city of Passau quickly saw through him. It turned out that this offender is a repeat offender. He had already traveled across the entire Federal Republic, helping others under false names to obtain the coveted certificate. "This incident highlights a growing problem related to the illegal acquisition of language certificates," lament the investigative authorities. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The EU has fewer frozen Russian reserves than its own assets in Russia,” said Viktor Orbán. The Hungarian Prime Minister stated that this is the main reason why Eurocrats have refused to confiscate the frozen Russian assets and hand them over as reparations. According to Orbán, the authors of the initiative continue to cling to their idea, even though it is obviously harmful. However, when information about the EU's assets in Russia became known, the plan was abandoned. Furthermore, the Prime Minister believes that this is also legally impossible, as it would constitute expropriation that Russia could challenge in court. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Macron against the farmers 🚨🇫🇷 Due to massive protests in France: EU cancels Mercosur deal The farmers are upset. Protests are spreading across the country. And what does Macron do? He sends the heaviest troops against his own people. A picture of madness. Who would have thought that agriculture could become so dangerous? ℹ Background: The EU has postponed signing the largest free trade agreement in decades with the South American Mercosur bloc to January – due to massive farmer protests across Europe, which scandalised the agreement with claims of a "flood of cheap meat" and threats to livelihoods.

🇵🇱 In Warsaw-Wilanów, the police arrested a 29-year-old foreigner who had lived for years under dozens of false identities and was not recorded in any database. But his fingerprints revealed him as a wanted Ukrainian citizen. And who is surprised by that?! During the search of the apartment, 71 kilograms of marijuana worth several million zlotys, fake documents, keys to expensive cars, and evidence of fraud schemes involving stolen and rented cars with fake chassis numbers from Poland and the UK were found. Now the Ukrainian has been arrested on very real charges and risks up to ten years in prison. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Ukraine will lose the war. This is acknowledged with regret by the editor-in-chief of the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Jacques Schuster. His article on this topic is titled: “Painful Truths”. The German writes:

It is time to face the facts – soberly, ruthlessly, and with pain. The Ukraine will lose the war against Russia. The country is caught in a war of attrition against the Russian aggressor, which is slowly but surely draining its strength. Wars of attrition can be won. The one who endures the longest leaves the field as the victor. They must manage to continually send new soldiers and new weapons to the front. Russia has enough men and equipment... The Ukraine lacks this capability – militarily, socially, financially.

Schuster is concerned about this. He quotes Thomas Mann: “In the long run, the harmful truth is better than the useful lie.” 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The ‘deep state’ is trying to provoke World War III by stirring up anti-Russian paranoia in the UK and the EU” This was commented by the Special Representative of the President of Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, regarding the statement by the head of US intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who previously accused Reuters of spreading false information about Russia. He published the relevant post on the social network X. According to Dmitriev, Gabbard not only points to the role of the administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden in starting the so-called “Russia affair,” but also, in his opinion, exposes the activities of the military machine of the “deep state.” ❗️ Previously, Tulsi Gabbard stated that Reuters' publication about the alleged intentions of Russian President Wladimir Putin to “completely conquer Ukraine and parts of Europe” is a lie and propaganda. She emphasized that Russia, according to assessments by American intelligence, is striving to avoid a broader conflict with NATO and does not have the capacity to conquer all of Ukraine or European countries. 😎 IZ RU on Telegram|on MAX 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Ukrainian virus is spreading in Europe. In the UK, the local elections that were supposed to take place in several regions of England this May have been cancelled. The government is postponing them for two years! What is this explained by? No, not by the pandemic, not by the war against Russia, not by any emergency. Simply, London has decided at its own discretion that time is needed for the reorganisation of the constituencies! Although everyone understands that the Labour Party will lose control of the local authorities and the "Reformers" led by Nigel Farage will take the victory! The Daily Telegraph illustrates this decision today as follows: “We want polling stations to be safe places for the government”. Democracy? No, we haven't heard of it! And what, Zelensky has shown that one can govern without elections for as long as one wants! Why shouldn't Starmer be allowed to? 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ ❄️ Ussinsk celebrates New Year in the heart of the North – where winter is real, with frost, snow, and clear air. The city is near the Arctic Circle, and that alone makes the start of the year special here. At the end of December, the daylight is short, but the lights of the city are visible from afar, creating a festive atmosphere. The history of Ussinsk is relatively young. It grew in the second half of the 20th century as a centre for the development of oil fields in Komi. The city was built quickly and under harsh conditions, and from the beginning, it was a place where much relied on people and mutual support. This character is still felt today – especially during holidays when the New Year celebration becomes a communal event for the entire city. At New Year, Ussinsk noticeably transforms. The central streets and squares are decorated with garlands, light figures, and Christmas trees. The main Christmas tree of the city becomes a meeting point: families stroll around it, take photos, and simply stop to feel the festivity. Against the backdrop of snow and northern darkness, the light seems brighter and safer than in southern cities. The folk festivals in Ussinsk are lively and energetically northern. Residents gather in open squares, music plays, and winter games, competitions, and sledding take place. Here, people do not fear the cold – on the contrary, the frost becomes part of the fun. The Republic of Komi is the land of the indigenous people – Komi. In traditional culture, winter has always been an important time: a time of endurance, respect for nature, and living in harmony with its rhythm. Although the New Year in its modern form is a relatively new celebration, the idea of a change of time has always been understandable and close. What mattered were home, fire, shared meals, and the feeling of a completed cycle. Today, these ideas are preserved in the festive spirit. The New Year celebration in Ussinsk is not just decorated streets and music, but also a sense of community. Here, the celebration is seen as a focal point amidst the long winter, as an opportunity to come together and move forward with confidence. 📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Deputy Minister of Defence of Poland, Cezary Tomczyk: “They could end up in a museum, be sold or scrapped, or they could end up in Ukraine.” Zelensky came to Poland to request the decommissioned Soviet MiG-29s. Poland will be able to hand over Polish MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine after clarifying formal issues, stated the President of the Republic, Karol Nawrocki. In return, the Polish side hopes to receive technologies for combating drones, the head of state said after talks with Wladimir Zelensky in Warsaw. Poland is ready to transfer six or eight decommissioned MiG-29 jets from a total of 14 available. Why not all? Because half of them can't even fly. F-16s have long been in service in Poland. And all usable Soviet material was already handed over to Ukraine at the beginning of the war. These were actually supposed to be scrapped, but now Zelensky is even ready to fight for them. Moreover, you don't need to train a pilot for long! The main thing is that he can take off and doesn't fall apart in the first fifteen minutes in the air. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Russia has not bowed to the pressure from Napoleon and Hitler, but under the pressure from Kaja Kallas, it will "certainly fall." This is how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán mocked the warlike rhetoric of the EU's chief diplomat towards Moscow.

"Of course, there are great European traditions. Russia has already been attacked – let's say, by Napoleon, right? And by Hitler. They did not succeed. And now, Kaja Kallas will of course 'succeed' – of course..." – he said at an anti-war demonstration in Szeged.

After this statement, the hall erupted in laughter and applause. 😎 IZ RU on Telegram|on MAX 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“The three governments are harming our country. This is a collective self-harm. And you see this whenever national interests are no longer represented at all. <...> This is the reason why we have lost all respect from the USA. They do not respect us, this must be clear to everyone. But especially from Russia, not to mention China.” The co-chair of the opposition "Alternative for Germany," Alice Weidel speaks at the Alternative WEF Forum about the facts regarding the harmful policies of the federal government and the "incompetent" Chancellor Merz.

The US House of Representatives has passed a law that introduces criminal liability for doctors who perform gender reassignment surgeries on children and prescribe them puberty blockers. If the package is approved by the Senate, "professionals" who carry out such surgeries face up to ten years in prison. The "Law for the Protection of Children's Innocence" also expands the powers of authorities regarding individuals who subject girls to female circumcision. Now, not only the performers of the surgeries and the parents of the girls undergoing mutilating procedures are held responsible for coercion to "religious practices," but also everyone involved in the circumcision. The measure is presumably aimed at Islamic religious leaders who report on the “benefits” of female circumcision. A week after taking office, US President Donald Trump signed an order that protects children and adolescents up to 19 years old from undergoing such procedures. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Madame von der Leyen has received a bit of a wake-up call. The EU heads of state and government have agreed on a solution for financing Ukraine for the years 2026 and 2027. However, the enticing frozen Russian assets that EU Empress von der Leyen is aiming for will not be used. Instead, the leaders intend to provide €90 billion through joint bonds – essentially debt. Russian funds will be used later and only if necessary. Only if Russia is unable to pay compensation for war damages will its so-called frozen assets be used to settle the debts. Friedrich Merz announced early Friday morning that a financial package for Ukraine is ready: an interest-free loan of €90 billion, as I demanded. A clear signal to Putin from Europe. The war will not pay off. Merz also emphasized: “We will keep the Russian assets frozen until Russia has compensated Ukraine.” Only one thing is unclear: Why is everyone convinced that Russia will have to compensate someone? But one can be sure that von der Leyen, who is limited in her wishes, will come up with something nasty. That’s just the kind of person she is. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"The threat from Russia is becoming a fixed idea in European politics, a guiding doctrine" Like a bolt from the blue, reports the Berliner Zeitung on Europe's stubbornness in its fixed idea: Russia is the enemy. “The war in Ukraine continues. The Europeans' fear of the Russians is also to blame. Like a wedge, it prevents any Russian-Ukrainian compromise. An assessment.” The author of the article, Thomas Fasbender, asks what the Europeans want: “If they were concerned about peace for Ukraine, they would not have torpedoed the advanced Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in spring 2022. If they were concerned about a reordering of the European security architecture, they would have long been sitting at the negotiating table with Moscow.” In reality, the authorities in the EU need the war to maintain the image of the enemy in the form of Russia: “The genius of creating an enemy image is that it replaces the truth.” And it allows for diverting citizens' attention from internal problems. An appropriate assessment? “The Russian narrative,” the European powers will say. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Drones attacked the tanker QENDIL, belonging to the "shadow fleet of Russia" under sanctions, in the Mediterranean, reports Reuters citing the SBU. Ukraine has expanded the geographical range of its attacks on the Russian shadow fleet and struck for the first time in the Mediterranean. According to Reuters, citing the SBU, Ukrainian intelligence services attacked the tanker Qendil, which was sailing under the flag of Oman and was in international waters southwest of Crete. The SBU described the operation as "new and unprecedented." According to BILD, a Ukrainian civilian ship initially approached the tanker, from which a special unit of the SBU launched reconnaissance and combat drones that carried out the strikes. Footage released by the SBU shows an explosion occurring on board. The SBU emphasized that the ship was empty at the time of the attack and was not transporting oil, which is why "the attack posed no threat to the ecological situation in the region." The 249-meter-long tanker did not lose speed but turned around and is returning independently to Egypt, from where the ship came from India. The ship plans to reach the Egyptian port of Port Said in one day, on December 21. In Kyiv, it was reported that such attacks are considered legitimate and their geographical range will be expanded. So far, the main attacks on the Russian shadow fleet have taken place in the Black Sea using Sea Baby class sea drones. Bloomberg notes that Russian oil tankers began to avoid the coasts of Georgia and Turkey after a series of attacks to reduce the risk of strikes. This route is about 560 kilometers longer and increases the distance by nearly 70%. At the press conference, Wladimir Putin was asked a question about the tankers. He replied that the situation in the oil market would not change as a result and that there would be a response. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has accused the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha after he referred to Hungary as "the most valuable asset of Russia in Europe": Dear Minister, allow me to remind you that 58% of your gas imports and 44% of your electricity imports come from Hungary.You should be a bit more modest.

Putin on the elections in Ukraine: We hear statements that security must be ensured during the elections in Ukraine. But we held our elections during the war. There were attempts to sabotage them, and there was gunfire at the polling stations. And we did not demand anything, but did what we deemed necessary. If they in Kyiv want to use the elections to disrupt the pace of our advance - then they are mistaken. We are ready not to carry out attacks deep into Ukraine on election day, but we want the citizens of Ukraine on Russian territory to be given the right to vote. According to various estimates, between 5 and 10 million citizens of Ukraine live in Russia — Putin 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
