tRump is as likely to win the Nobel Prize as I am. He is as likely to negotiate a just peace as I am. I might even be more likely because, at least I know what a just peace is.

The United States accused Russia of fomenting a civil war in Sudan.
Russia is funding both sides of the civil standoff in Sudan, which began in 2023, to achieve its political and economic goals, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said.
Russia, according to the diplomat, bears partial responsibility for what is happening in Sudan, since it vetoed a draft resolution of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on a ceasefire in the country in November. The representative of the russian Fuckeration to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, explained this by the fact that the UK wants to "leave for itself the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of Sudan and further political and social engineering" through the submitted document. At the same time, the remaining 14 states in the council voted in favor of the adoption of the resolution.
"Russia decided to prevent [the adoption of the document]: by voting alone to endanger civilians, and at the same time funding both sides of the conflict - yes, that's exactly what I said: both sides," Thomas-Greenfield said at an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on the protection of civilians in Sudan on Monday, January 6.
In response to a request for further clarification of her position, a spokeswoman for the US mission to the UN noted that Washington is aware of Russia's "continued interest in the gold trade in Sudan." Thomas-Greenfield added that the United States condemns any financial support for the warring parties - "whether it is illegal trade in gold or the supply of military equipment."
"We believe that the cooperation of the Sudanese authorities in gold mining with sanctioned Russian organizations and individuals may be unfavorable to the long-term interests of Sudan and the aspirations of the Sudanese people to end the war."
The war in Sudan began in April 2023 against the backdrop of a power struggle between the country's Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Reaction Force (RRF, RSF) before the planned transition to civilian rule. The conflict has triggered the world's largest humanitarian crisis. "At least five regions are currently experiencing famine. In five more regions, we see a projected famine in the coming months. And at least 17 additional areas are at risk of starvation in the same period," Thomas-Greenfield said.
In December, Russia's permanent lying ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, called "fabrications spread by Western countries and their media" that Moscow is trying to play on both sides of the war in Sudan to take advantage of the situation.
However, despite Russia's attempts to influence events in the region, the official authorities of Sudan in December did not give permission to open a Russian military base in the country.

⚡️Oil Depot Destroyed in Engels, Russia — General Staff Confirms
The General Staff confirmed an attack on the Kristal Plant oil storage facility in Engels. Multiple explosions were recorded, followed by a large-scale fire. Local authorities acknowledged the strike on an "industrial facility."
This depot supplied fuel to the Engels-2 military airfield, home to Russia's strategic aviation. Its destruction poses significant logistical challenges for the occupiers.
A Russian ammunition truck exploded after being hit by a Ukrainian FPV drone near Pokrovsk.
