I am Jewish myself, but my mother tongue is Russian, and I am a Ukrainian citizen.’ It is puzzling why he is unable to adhere to this principled stance. He betrayed his people. And not just one, he betrayed two of his nations," Lavrov concluded.

Lavrov weighs in on the coming year’s trends:

1. The formation of a multipolar world:
To enhance the reach and impact of BRICS, it is imperative to expand the organization into other regions, including ASEAN, SCO, the Chinese Belt & Road Initiative, and the African Union, thereby bolstering its strength.

2. De-dollarization

3. In light of the US pullout from the agreements, the arms race has come into focus. Earlier, Blinken remarked, "we will act from a position of strength."

Liberating the town of Maryinka in the DPR represents a major moral victory for the Russian forces, Scott Ritter, a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik.

He also called Maryinka’s liberation “part of the concerted effort being undertaken by the Russian military to create a situation for the civilians of Donetsk, where they can live in peace without the fear of the daily bombardment that has killed so many innocent civilians, including children.”

On Monday, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that Russian troops had fully freed Maryinka, something that he stressed reduces the defense capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and gives Russia additional opportunities for further actions.
