#Germany Chancellor Friedrich Merz in his New Year’s address: We are seeing more and more clearly that Russia’s actions were and remain part of a plan aimed at all of Europe.
- Russia’s war against Ukraine poses a direct threat to Europe’s freedom and security;
- Germany faces daily acts of sabotage, espionage, and cyberattacks, many of which may be linked to Russia;
- The rise of global protectionism is a serious challenge, as Europe’s dependence on imported raw materials is increasingly being used as a tool of political pressure;
- The partnership with the United States has become more complex, requiring Europe to act more independently. “We must defend our interests much more strongly on our own”
- Europe must be guided by confidence, not fear. This year could be decisive — a year in which Germany and Europe find new strength to return to decades of peace, freedom, and prosperity.

- Russians gained around 4,075 square kilometer (1,573 square miles) over this period of time. This is around 0.67% of Ukraine's total size.
- Ukraine holds 79.4% of its territory.
- The Russian occupation holds around 19.4% of Ukrainian territory.

A few days ago many reported of the death of Denis Kapustin, one of the Russian volunteers fighting alongside Ukraine. In fact, he is very much alive. This was revealed today in a teleconference where Budanov was present.
His death was faked to locate assassins which were ordered by Russia to take him out. Together with the GRU this plot was thwarted and the money (500.000 USD) used for this assassination attempt impounded by the Ukrainian authorities.
