17.12.2025 ⇢ The Day of Putin's Oreshnik Missile System Announcement
⌨
The day began with Russian media reporting on Trump's strong rhetoric against Venezuela, accusing it of theft and terrorism, and announcing a blockade and increased military presence. Concurrently, discussions continued regarding EU consideration of using frozen Russian assets, with US pressure against it.
The mid-morning and afternoon were dominated by President Putin's address to the Defense Ministry Board. He announced the Oreshnik missile system would enter service this year and the S-500 was already operational. Putin also issued warnings to Ukraine, stating that if dialogue failed, Russia would achieve its goals militarily, while dismissing Western claims of a large-scale war as 'nonsense'. He claimed Ukraine's losses were approaching 500,000 this year and accused European leaders of being 'piglets' for assisting Trump's rivals, asserting Russia had regained full sovereignty.
Later in the evening, reports emerged from Politico about planned weekend talks between the US and Russia in Miami concerning a settlement in Ukraine, signaling a shift towards diplomatic avenues.
