Bloomberg: Even if the war ends tomorrow, Russia will be paying for it for years. With reserves drained, Moscow turned to record borrowing, 7.9 trillion rubles in bonds this year alone. High interest rates (16.5%) make debt servicing one of Russia’s top 5 budget expenses, unlike military spending, these costs can’t be cut.


Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the planned US-Russia talks in Miami, saying Moscow wants to hear Washington’s take on the "outcomes" of recent negotiations between Ukraine and the EU.


Russia's government is plugging a widening gap in the military budget with increasingly costly borrowing, which will lead to a growing bill for years to come.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Thursday that she would be willing to vote through a plan for the loan without Belgium “if necessary” as a single member of the 27-nation EU “shouldn’t be able to block what is the right thing to do.”

Ukrainian forces conducted an operation against the Belbek air base in Russian-occupied Crimea using long-range drones and caused absolute havoc. The following targets were hit:

- Two long-range radar detection systems "Nebo-SVU"

- One radar station 92N6, which is part of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense system

- One "Pantsir" air defense system

- One fully armed MiG-31 aircraft



🇪🇺 🇷🇺 The European Union on Thursday imposed sanctions on 41 more ships in #Russia's shadow fleet, taking the total of designated vessels to almost 600.

The ships are now banned from entering EU ports and can no longer receive a broad range of services related to maritime transport, the EU Council said.

Massive strike by Ukraine’s SBU at Belbek airfield in occupied Crimea overnight: a MiG-31 with full payload, a Pantsir-S2 air defense system, an S-400 radar unit, and two Nebo-SVU radars were destroyed or damaged, losses worth hundreds of millions of dollars.


European intelligence agencies say Russian operatives have been targeting Belgian politicians and Euroclear executives with intimidation tactics to block the release of €185bn in frozen Russian assets. The campaign, linked to the GRU, comes as EU leaders debate using those funds to secure a vital loan for Ukraine.

A bipartisan group of US senators is urging Belgium to release frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine, warning that delays only help Putin and test NATO’s resolve. The letter, sent ahead of today's EU summit, targets Belgium’s legal hesitations and backs the European Commission’s plan to leverage assets held at Euroclear.


Three Russian border guards illegally crossed into Estonian territory and stayed for about 20 minutes, Bloomberg reports. The incident was caught on video. Estonia will summon Russia’s top diplomat in Tallinn and is boosting patrols in the area. Officials from both sides are set to meet today to address the breach.


German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says he still hopes for consensus on using frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. “I see no better option,” he told reporters, adding that the EU now faces a clear choice: either take on more European debt or use Russia’s immobilized funds.

Hungary’s PM Orban claims talks on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine have hit a dead end, saying there’s no majority support. When pressed if he’s acting in Europe’s or Moscow’s interest, he replied: “I work for peace.”


EU diplomats will have discussions today on how to use frozen Russian assets to fund a “reparations loan” for Ukraine in 2026–27, including military aid. Some resistance remains, including from Belgium and Czech PM Babiš. EC president von der Leyen said two options are on the table and will be discussed. A final decision is expected soon.



The oil tanker "Valery Gorchakov" was struck yesterday in Rostov-on-Don, killing two crew members. Built in 1969 and converted in 2004 under Project 156ST/5009, it's linked to Russia's shadow fleet supplying occupied ports.


Zelensky: Ukraine won't accept a full withdrawal from Donbas, despite Russia's demands. Talks with the US will continue this weekend, possibly with EU reps.

Kyiv insists security guarantees must be passed by US Congress and mirror NATO’s Article 5. Commenting on the so-called “latest version” of Russia’s peace plan, Zelensky said no agreed-upon version exists. The US is discussing proposals with both Ukraine and Russia, but there is no final, approved document at this stage.



Zelensky doubts Putin's economy can sustain the war at previous levels if sanctions hold. Responding to journalists, he said Putin doesn’t want to end the war, but whether he can keep it going depends on continued pressure from Ukraine’s partners. Kyiv supports US peace efforts but disagrees on key points, especially territory and funding.


In a forests in the Donetsk region, Ukraine’s 8th SSO Regiment spotted and engaged Russian forces. After discovering an abandoned position with gear, a generator, and a hidden bunker, they encountered movement and opened fire, eliminating one Russian soldier while the rest fled.


🇷🇺 🇺🇦 #Russia launched a "massive" drone attack on #Ukraine's central Cherkasy region, injuring six people and triggering a blackout in part of Cherkasy city, the local governor said on Thursday.

On their anniversary, Ukraine’s military counterintelligence celebrated with firepower, hitting 137 pieces of Russian heavy equipment in recent months. Among the targets: 15 air defense systems, 230 drones, 30 howitzers, 18 ammo depots, and multiple EW and radar systems.


DTEK has revealed footage of a substation in Artsyz, Odesa region, nearly destroyed by a Russian strike. The attack left large parts of the city without electricity, with power unlikely to be restored before December 26.


Russians continue moving S-300/400 missiles into occupied Crimea. In Kerch, missiles were spotted being hauled through the city center.


🇫🇮 Finnish authorities have seized a seaside villa owned by sanctioned Russian billionaire Boris Rotenberg in the town of Hanko over unpaid property taxes amounting to several thousand euros, public broadcaster Yle reported Wednesday.

La bottiglia ha una base larga, un collo stretto che si allarga in una forma a pera e poi si restringe di nuovo verso l'alto. All'interno della bottiglia è visibile un liquido trasparente. Un piccolo tag è attaccato al collo della bottiglia, con una grafica colorata e la scritta "Grappa" in evidenza. Il tag presenta anche un simbolo che ricorda la bandiera italiana.

Sottovalutare la sicurezza informatica Oggi. Parliamo di “tanto chi vuoi che mi attacca?”

📌 Link all'articolo : redhotcyber.com/post/sottovalu…

La cultura del “tanto chi vuoi che mi attacchi?” gira ancora, testarda. Non è uno slogan, è proprio un modo di pensare.

Una specie di alibi mentale che permette di rimandare, di non guardare troppo da vicino certi rischi. Succede spesso nelle aziende piccole, quelle dove tutti fanno un po’ di tutto e la #sicurezza resta una cosa vaga, sullo sfondo.
