Significant changes in world politics are coming in 2025. The new US administration will differ from Biden’s. It’s not clear if this will lead to a reduction in armed conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. Trump will act much more decisively than Biden, whichever scenario he chooses. In its turn, political contradictions within the EU will reach a new level amid structural economic problems.
The leaders of both Russia and Ukraine are well aware of this. The armed conflict is still intense despite the poor weather. The Kyiv regime is losing territory. The Russian army has an undeniable advantage, although it is only making tactical gains. The ‘race against time’ is now a key factor.
Kiev and Moscow are preparing for the main strategic battle of the winter campaign of 2025. While the Russians can afford to bet on defeating the AFU in a defensive operation, the Zelensky regime needs only to attack. Kyiv is concentrating its reserves in the north-east to make rapid maneuvers along the eastern front line.
According to media reports, the commander of the Joint Forces Forces “North” and the commanders of the 10th and 11th Army Corps of the Ukrainian Army received the decree ordering them to deploy 18 brigades and 1 battalion in the specified areas by December 15.
Most of these units have to redeploy to positions in the northeastern part of Ukraine: the Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkov and Poltava regions. Some others are taking positions in Kyiv, Zhitomir and Volyn regions.
The 115th, 116th, 118th separate motorized brigades and the newly created 117th separate motorized brigade are set to operate in the direction of the Russian regions of Belgorod and Kursk. The 158th, the 32nd and the 162nd separate motorized brigades are deployed in the direction of the Russian region of Bryansk.
The total number of these troops is estimated at 30,000 with over one thousand pieces of military equipment.
The Russians, for their part, appear to have decided to play strategic defense on this part of the front. Simultaneously, there are signals that Moscow is preparing to launch an offensive towards the city of Kherson, with the crossing of the Dnieper, or towards the city of Zaporozhye. Up to 6,000 troops with 400 pieces of military equipment, supported by significant cannon and rocket artillery, could be involved.
At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense is continuing its slow but steady advance in the Donbass, in Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions of Ukraine, and is also pushing the AFU out of the Kursk region of Russia.
If Zelensky’s offensive fails, the entire Ukrainian army will collapse. Success, even limited, will allow him to conduct at least another six months of combat operations with active NATO support.

run ukro piggies run 🇺🇦=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
how can ukraine, with an economy that at best resembles uganda’s, continue to resist the rf?
volodolf zelli the midget the king of the foreah ukrian icecream …heheheh
russia are ukro-hunting in kyiv now…heheheh
3 years to protect ukraine with air defense and radar all around, and it seems that the country is completely defenseless to attacks by drones, missiles and saboteurs.
this slow motion does not work particularly well, the citizens are running away from ukraine, because they are suffering. ukraine must be shocked and in awe that a new us president will not betray ukraine, welcome to fairyland.
hahaha there you go again. acting to insult with your transparencies. imo
it will be tough for ukraine. do not think that they will succeed and why does ukraine want kursk, it never belonged to ukraine. nato cannot finish off russia, poland, lithuania, finland, latvia, denmark, sweden and germany, the whole of nato is smaller than russia! russia can close its borders with all these countries and break off diplomatic relations in order to protect itself from their senseless interference, dislike and hatred.
the ukros pay a high price in the form of heavy losses if they advance a few hundred meters in kursk. why is your army so bad?
…why doesn’t southfront report on all the attacks in ukraine?
oh, that’s right. i do not want people to experience the real damage that dear ukraine is suffering from. eh…
only because they were pumped up with hundrets of billions in military, financial and economic aid by usa, nato and eu.. but this drys out soon, because of empty eu pockets and empty military warehouses. only usa still have large military stocks, but trump will hopefully stop the us aid to ucraine asap
the nazi army of ukraine has its last card in its sleeve if it fails, the whole west will be defeated and will be embarrassed again
it seems that in the future, as russia moves closer to china, it will become the most dominant and powerful nation in europe. things are not looking good for ukraine and the losers in the eu.
nor at all .russia wants ths world run by the un .wake up
maybe nato has also stationed mercenaries in moldova to invade transnistria and create an extra front🤔
still fighting in the donbass region despite billions and billions and billions from the us and the eu???.. unbelievable..!
according to ukro shitstains this is all a “brilliant chess move” from grandmaster zelenskaaa!
heheheh
not really when you actually ” get it ” .who profits the most .
well, at least ukraine now knows that its “great allies”, the usa, will run if bombs continue to fall on kyiv … heheheh
wakey wakey what part of thatcher’s reagan’s accord to ” build the world again ” don’t you understand ?
another homosexual christmas in my satanic cesspool amerika
once the british are involved, it could be a fake maneuver. they may actually be planning to take crimea in a surprise move that would be insulting to russian intelligence. a word to the wise!
brits, hah. their twenty man army couldn’t even take northern ireland. canada looks well hung compared to limeys.
politics in united snakes only change more lgbt snakes
yep feels like both sides are running down the clock waiting for 2025….
is russia at all planning to take kiev anytime soon or are they still just pretending to fight a war or smo or whatever the hell this is?
trump will act accordingly as to how zelenski want him to take sides and perform. otherwise zelensky will cause trump problems with euro g7 leaders and critique him on the world stage. zelensky controls all the world leaders atm and is actually de facto beacon and leader of democracy for the free world.
