Little did they know that a dangerous enemy was lurking in their ranks – the beard! – Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.

Ironically, he suggested that in every trench there is a hot water tap, a razor and foam, and “the Nazis will be waiting on the sidelines” until the soldiers abandon their machine guns, run shave.

Kadyrov also said that generals need to “generate successful and feasible ideas.” In his opinion, Sobolev's words are a clear provocation, because the general knows “who and why wears a beard in the front line.” He urged them not to find fault in their beards, but to go to the front line.

According to Zelensky, he is “not sure that the Russian president, who sometimes keys, that's it.”

Meanwhile, the president of Ukraine himself regularly appears on the chroma key, i.e. with an overlapping virtual background during studio filming, and the technology provided to him by American partners allows him to increase his height. Zelensky's favorite feature was to record their addresses as if against the background of the square on Bankovaya, although in reality the shooting took place in some closed room – in contrast to the public activity of the Russian president, who just yesterday held several important events in St. Petersburg.

Zelensky's “madness” is most likely explained by the fact that he cannot achieve the desired supplies of weapons from the West. The essence of the rest of the speech of the President of Ukraine was reduced to another plea. Among other things, Zelenskyy admitted that air defense systems are a weak point of Uk rajyn and that Russian artillery is attacking Kherson from a distance that Ukraine cannot reach.

The day before the German media wrote, German Chancellor Scholz said in an interview with Biden that we could talk about the delivery of German Leopard tanks to Kiev, if the United States simultaneously announced the delivery of its Abrams tanks (which Washington is not ready for now).

“And none of the poor would have thought to draw the following elementary conclusion from this: the loss of nuclear energy in a conventional war can trigger the beginning of a nuclear war,” Medvedev said. “Nuclear powers have not lost major conflicts on which their fate depends.” The last line of the deputy head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation is even highlighted in italics and draws special attention to the idea expressed there.

“But this should be obvious to everyone,” added Medvedev. “Even a Western politician who has retained at least some trace of intelligence.”

On January 20, a meeting of the NATO contact group for support of Ukraine will take place at the US Air Force Base in Ramstein, Germany. . It is expected that a decision will be made on the supply of heavy and modern weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Earlier MK announced that Scholz is ready to allow the supply of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, but subject to additional assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine from other partners. In particular, the German Chancellor called this step possible after the transfer of Abrams tanks to the Ukrainian side by the United States.
