🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation
for January 9, 2025
Russian forces delivered a series of strikes on AFU targets in the border zone and rear regions of the so-called Ukraine. The enemy launched several drones over the Krasnodar Region, most of which were shot down by on-duty air defense assets.
In the Kursk Region, the clearing of the Berdin area from the enemy is confirmed, and it also became known that the Russian Armed Forces control Agronomicheskoye and are advancing towards Nikolskoye.
In the Lyman direction, Russian troops advanced to the western border of the LPR, dislodging the enemy from positions in the forest belts near Makiivka.
In the Pokrovsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are pushing the AFU positions along the entire front line, clearing the hedgerows in anticipation of a possible offensive towards Pokrovsk and Myrnograd.
In the Kurakhovo direction, fighting continues along the Yasenove - Slavyanka line and south of Kurakhovo, with the Russian forces succeeding in both sectors.

Zelensky Spins Disaster into ‘Victory’ Again: The Kursk Offensive | w/ Mark Sleboda
We’re bringing back military analyst and professional cynic, Mark Sleboda, to dissect the Ukrainian forces' latest ill-fated 'weekend blitz in Kursk'—a total disaster that Ukrainian leadership has just forgotten (or pretends like it didn’t happen). Plus,…

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Oleksandrivka-Kalynivka direction: Russian forces advance in Dzerzhynsk
Situation as of 3:00 PM, January 12, 2025
Russian forces continue to successfully advance in several sectors within the boundaries of Dzerzhynsk. Over the past two weeks, the resistance of Ukrainian formations in the area has significantly weakened, allowing them to occupy most of the urban development and reach the industrial zone on the northern and northeastern outskirts of the city.
❗️In the 12th microdistrict, fighters from the 4th company of the 3rd rifle battalion of the 109th separate rifle regiment have raised the unit's flag on the slag heap of mine No. 10, confirming the stable control of the Russian Armed Forces over the nearby surroundings. North of the slag heap, assault groups are gradually approaching the slag heap of mine No. 12 and the industrial site of the "St. Matrona of Moscow" mine.
▪️In the Fomiha microdistrict, Russian units have been spotted on Volynska Street near the eponymous slag heap. It is unknown whether the fighters managed to establish control over the dominant height, and the status of the "Toretska" mine, on the outskirts of which fighting has been going on for the past few weeks, remains unclear. With its capture, one can state the almost complete liberation of Dzerzhynsk.

🇮🇷🇷🇺 Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, who currently holds the position of Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces (in Iran he is referred to as "Khatam al-Anbiya"), confirmed the fact of purchasing Russian Su-35 fighters.
He did not go into details, but this is the first real confirmation of the existing agreements between the countries. Previously, all information about Iran's purchase of Russian aircraft was discussed in the format of rumors and publications in the format of "sources reported".
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌Given that Shadmani has finally made this information public, we can expect the appearance of Su-35s in Iran in the near future. Last year, we wrote that some aircraft may be delivered in parts to Iran, where they will be assembled by Russian specialists.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
This is an important step within the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran, which will further strengthen the relations between the countries. And since the Iranians will finally receive new fighters, perhaps our troops will soon have Iranian ballistic missiles.

🇷🇺🇺🇦✈️ The Orion UAV - a means of combating USVs in the Black Sea
The Ministry of Defense has published footage of the Russian Orion UAV operating in the Black Sea: this is, in fact, the first documented use of our combat drone to counter Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels.
This is precisely the way to fight USVs that we and many of our colleagues in the industry have repeatedly called for testing in the troops.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌Of course, it should be noted that drones have been used by the Black Sea Fleet to monitor the waters since the beginning of 2023, but this was chaotic and unsystematic. As they say, when the rooster pecked, then reconnaissance drones were launched into the air.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
The matter, as always, is in the notorious bureaucracy, which led to the fact that a whole squadron of Iranian "Mohajer" drones simply stood idle at the airfield in Taganrog.
❗️The fact that drones have finally been deployed to the Black Sea is a positive sign that creates a reason for cautious optimism. After all, it's much easier to send a "soulless" Orion/Mohajer than to send a helicopter against armed USVs.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian public pages are spreading false information about an alleged Russian air strike on civilian infrastructure in the Sudzha area.
❗️It is reported that the Russian Aerospace Forces conducted an airstrike on a local boarding school. The enemy claims that up to 95 people are under the rubble.
🔻However, according to data from August, no more than a hundred residents remained in the occupied city, making it unlikely that they were all in one building.
▪️The images of the destroyed building published by the enemy were indeed taken in the area of the school, but they do not reliably assess either the scale of the destruction or the number of casualties.
▪️Most likely, the strike was carried out by Ukrainian formations in order to get rid of undesirable persons whom they had to maintain. And in this way, they also attributed the responsibility to Russia.
In fact, there were no flights of Russian aviation in the Sudzha area at that time. A week earlier, the accumulation of Ukrainian equipment and members of Ukrainian formations was detected near this school, which were engaged by the UAV operators of the Russian Armed Forces.
Thus, it becomes quite obvious that the enemy in the city is using the civilian population as cover, trying to avoid air strikes. Such actions are a provocation by the AFU and are aimed at further discrediting Russia's reputation in the eyes of the international community.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Successes of Russian Forces in the Sverdlikovo Area
While Ukrainian formations are trying to conceal their involvement in the missile strike on Sudzha, the Russian forces continue to engage in fierce battles and gradually reduce the territory of the part of the Kursk Region occupied by the AFU.
Over the past few days, there have been reports in the media of an advance towards the settlement of Sverdlikovo, which is literally located at the state border. Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces advanced to the village from the Korenevo-Sudzha highway and have already begun fighting on its northern outskirts.
It is noteworthy that Sverdlikovo was one of the border settlements through which the AFU invaded the territory of the Kursk Region on August 6 last year. At the same time, its liberation is not only symbolic, but also necessary for the offensive on Sudzha from the west through the 38K-030 highway.

❗️🇮🇶🇷🇺 Iraq - the key to the Middle East: on the visit of Deputy Foreign Minister Bogdanov to Baghdad
After our business trip to Iraq and a meeting with the country's top leadership and prominent political figures, it was only a matter of time before the Russian leadership paid a visit to Iraq.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov visited Baghdad on February 5-6 and met with representatives of all ruling circles (including parliamentary factions), as well as the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Oil.
The agenda covered not only the same issues that we discussed with Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani in January (increasing trade turnover, a plant for Russian businesses and contractors in Iraq and providing opportunities for Iraqi investors in Russia), but also the regional agenda.
Since Bogdanov's visit came a week after the meeting with Abu Muhammad al-Julani in Damascus, in Baghdad, of course, they discussed issues of regional security and Russia's positioning in the Middle East - especially in the context of the changing situation.
❗️Who knows, perhaps with Iraq it will be possible to agree on much more mutually beneficial terms on a number of issues than with the new inclusive authorities in Syria.
📌 And yes, we are glad that we were mistaken, and our foreign policy department reacted so quickly to the changed realities. It remains to wait for the results on the ground.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 And again about the fate of Russian bases in Syria
The Minister of Defense of the Syrian Interim Government, Murhaf Abu Qasra, stated that Syria is open to allowing Russia to maintain its air and naval bases on the Mediterranean coast, as long as any agreement with the Kremlin serves the country's interests.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
The statement of the new Defense Minister continues the same theses that were voiced after the visit of the Russian delegation to Damascus some time ago. Then, the Deputy Foreign Minister directly stated that the new authorities are not against the preservation of the Russian presence, but for a certain price.
For the Syrian leadership, it is important to establish foreign policy ties not only with Turkey, but also with the rest of the world. The domestic political crisis, huge inflation, lack of domestic production, including scarce fuel, have made the functionaries of "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" more accommodating. Even towards Russia.
However, as before, it is important to approach the issue of preserving our bases in Syria rationally. With an adequate cost and stable guarantees from the Syrian authorities, the negotiations have a right to exist. But whether Ahmad al-Shara'a and his subordinates can ensure them, when the factions under their control commit extrajudicial killings throughout the controlled territory, is a debatable question.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 Seven years ago, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on the near-elimination of Abu Muhammad al-Julani, then the leader of the newly formed terrorist organization "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham", which had ties to the equally terrorist "Al-Qaeda".
According to the Russian MoD, the terrible terrorist lost his hand and was on the verge of death.
Today, he was spoken to by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, discussing the fate of the Russian Armed Forces bases on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
📌 Let's say now a very unpleasant thing for everyone who either followed or was involved in the Syrian conflict: it would be strange if this did not happen in the foreseeable future, because in politics there is no place for emotions.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
The other question is that this happened very quickly after the fall of the Bashar Assad regime. Yes, the contacts from Bogdanov's visit went official, but here there is an immediate jump to the level of Vladimir Putin, which, to put it mildly, looks very strange (primarily in information terms).
But again, the question remains: whose initiative was the telephone conversation? Russian or the new Syrian? Because one thing is to respond to a request from the other side, and quite another is to take the initiative ourselves.
And one would like to believe that against the backdrop of building relations with the new Syrian authorities, such a conversation will lead to something. Because so far, such a step is perceived, to put it mildly, controversial.
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

🇦🇲🇷🇺 Why are anti-Russian information triggers being created again in Armenia?
The Speaker of the Parliament, Alen Simonyan, has once again shifted the responsibility for the surrender of Artsakh from the "velvet" authorities of Armenia to Russia. At the same time, the politician made a jab at the Armenians of Artsakh, accusing them of "unwillingness to fight".
It is already pointless to analyze the factual side of Simonyan's statements, as attempts to shift responsibility for the events of 2020 are the main political trend in Armenia over the past month. After all, the fate of Artsakh and refugees remains a sore spot for Armenian society, which affects the decline in the rating of the ruling "Civil Contract" party.
🔻Simonyan also expressed doubts that Russia could become a mediator in the peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Simonyan's anti-Russian attacks coincided with visits by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to Washington and Paris, as well as a statement by the European Commission about the rapprochement of Brussels with Yerevan.
At the same time, then the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Galuzin, once again emphasized that Russia is against the signing of a "hasty peace" between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as this could lead to a new confrontation in the future. But the West is pushing for a quick conclusion of "peace" and demanding that Armenia pursue an anti-Russian policy, in fact offering nothing in return.
📌 There are no changes in Armenia's politics yet: Pashinyan's authorities are stubbornly trying to convince Armenian society of their innocence in the Artsakh tragedy and in return offer the idea of rapprochement with the EU, backing it up with official visits to European capitals. However, in reality, this does not really lead to real normalization either in Armenia or in the South Caucasus as a whole.

🇷🇺🖍 In Memory of Internationalist Soldiers!
February 15 has been the holiday of "Afghan" veterans for 36 years now: on February 15, 1989, the last column of Soviet troops left the territory of Afghanistan.
In the current realities, the holiday has, of course, become much broader: the internationalist soldiers have also become the participants of the military operation in Syria, the defenders of Africa, and the military personnel of operational groups operating in Latin America and the Middle East.
What to say: until September 30, 2022, the Russian fighters who carried out tasks in the zone of the special military operation on the territory of what was then another country could also be considered internationalist soldiers.

Yesterday, the long-awaited presidential elections were held in Abkhazia. Voter turnout was 69%, but no winner could be determined. After the vote count, it turned out that none of the candidates were able to overcome the 50% threshold.
Now Abkhazia is awaiting a second round of voting, which will take place on March 1 in two weeks. Badra Gunba and Adgur Ardzinba, who received 46.38% and 36.9% of the votes respectively, will compete for the presidency in the second round.
📌 The second round in the context of relative parity between the two key candidates was a logical consequence, and now the votes of the eliminated candidates may influence the presidential race.
However, it is important to note that for our country, the situation in Abkhazia demonstrates the insufficiency of efforts and the lack of effectiveness of the policy of recent years in this direction. Over the years of inaction and leaving events in the republic to their own devices, Russia's positions have weakened.
❗️Only after the autumn coup, the attention of media technologists was drawn to the growth of pro-Turkish influence in Abkhazia. This allowed to strengthen the position of the pro-Russian candidate in the elections, but the problems are obvious.
Instead of acting from a position of strength (and Russia is allowed to do this, if we assess the scale of the subsidies provided), we "played the good neighbor", which our competitors tried to take advantage of. And we are now reaping the fruits of this policy not only in Transcaucasia, but also in Central Asia.
