Good article to help you understand how the Russian Intelligence Agency is thinking…
“Today, when the West is losing on Ukrainian soil, the probability of carrying out a variety of provocations is very high,” the intelligence chief said in an interview.
The collective West, losing its hegemony, is rushing in rage like a wounded animal, lashing out in all directions, and this is very dangerous, because the Anglo-Saxons, if they are not stopped, are ready to drag the rest of the world into the vortex of history, Naryshkin said in December 2023 at a meeting of heads of security and intelligence services of the CIS countries in Minsk.
“However, I would like to emphasize that the effect of such provocations and their duration are very short, given that any secret information, including lies, very quickly becomes apparent in our modern world,” Naryshkin said.

I think Medvedev says all that needs to be said about the ignorant nasty thing Kiev had done to their own people…
The story of the destruction of the Il-76 plane is the result of the internal political struggle of neo-Nazi elites in Kyiv. Pig war at the trough. Many have already written about this.
Happy memory to our pilots. They are heroes. Ukrainian families did not receive their prisoners from Russia.
It will only get worse: these three-toothed freaks, in order to maintain their power, will easily kill their military personnel and prisoners of war, which they learned in 700 days of the Northern Military District. They will mercilessly bomb their cities and villages, pulverizing their homes and incinerating their elderly and children. There are no restrictions here for the yellow-blooded creatures. After all, the main thing at stake is power and money.

История с уничтожением самолёта Ил-76 – результат внутриполитической борьбы неонацистских элит в Киеве. Война свиней у корыта. Об этом уже многие написали.
Светлая память нашим лётчикам. Они герои. Украинские семьи не дождались из России своих пленных.
Дальше будет только хуже: эти тризубые уродцы для сохранения своей власти будут с лёгкостью убивать своих военнослужащих и военнопленных, чему научились за 700 дней СВО. Будут нещадно бомбить свои города и сёла, стирая в пыль свои дома и испепеляя своих стариков и детей. Тут для жовто-блакитных тварей нет никаких ограничителей. Ведь на карту поставлено главное – власть и деньги.

Today at 11:15 a.m., the Kiev regime committed a terrorist act as a result of which a Russian military transport aircraft was shot down , flying along the route Chkalovsky-Belgorod airfield to transport Ukrainian military personnel for exchange.
The plane was destroyed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the area of Liptsy, Kharkov Region, using an anti-aircraft missile system.
The radar equipment of the Russian Aerospace Forces observed the launch of two Ukrainian missiles.
On board the plane were six crew members, 65 Ukrainian military personnel for the exchange and three Russian military personnel accompanying them. The crew and all passengers of the plane were killed.
The Ukrainian leadership knew very well that, according to established practice, today Ukrainian military personnel would be transported by military transport aircraft to the Belgorod airfield for exchange.
According to the previously reached agreement, this event was to take place in the afternoon at the Kolotilovka checkpoint on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
And, nevertheless, the Nazi Kiev regime took this step, pursuing the goal of blaming Russia for the destruction of the Ukrainian military.
By committing this terrorist attack , the Ukrainian leadership showed its true colors – it neglected the lives of its citizens.

Сегодня в 11 часов 15 минут киевским режимом совершен террористический акт в результате которого был сбит самолет военно-транспортной авиации России, выполнявший рейс по маршруту аэродром Чкаловский-Белгород для перевозки украинских военнослужащих для обмена.
Поражение самолета осуществлено вооруженными силами Украины из района населённого пункта Липцы Харьковской области с применением зенитного ракетного комплекса.
Радиолокационными средствами ВКС России наблюдался пуск двух украинских ракет.
На борту самолета находилось шесть членов экипажа, 65 украинских военнослужащих для обмена и три сопровождавших их российских военнослужащих. Экипаж и все пассажиры самолета погибли.
Украинское руководство прекрасно знало, что по сложившейся практике сегодня будет осуществлена перевозка военно-транспортным самолетом на аэродром Белгород украинских военнослужащих для обмена.
По достигнутой ранее договоренности данное мероприятие должно было состояться во второй половине дня в пункте пропуска Колотиловка на российско-украинской границе.
И, тем не менее, нацистский киевский режим пошел на данный шаг, преследуя цель обвинить Россию в уничтожении украинских военных.
Совершением данного теракта украинское руководство показало свое истинное лицо – пренебрегло жизнями своих граждан.

It is very important that Russia can lead the resistance to the Antichrist, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ Kirill said, speaking at Christmas parliamentary meetings in the Federation Council.
“The war has not yet been lost. And it is very important that our country is able to lead resistance – I will say an incredible word now – Antichrist. Resistance to the world of global evil,” said the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. His performance was broadcast by the Russia 24 TV channel and the media platform, “We look.”
The Patriarch explained: the Antichrist will come when “people will not have the opportunity to distinguish good and evil.”
He noted that the West was already reoriented to the values hostile to Christianity. Even speaking of the festival of the Nativity of Christ, English -speaking believers avoid mentioning the name of Christ.
“Already Christmas is impossible. X-Mas. What is X-Mas, I don’t know,” the Patriarch pointed out. “That is, the word Christ itself can no longer be pronounced in public space.”
Kirill also spoke about recognizing the movement of LGBT extremist. According to him, this decision “instructs Russia on a special spiritual path”, and it is clear that the West does not like it.
On November 30, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation recognized the international public movement of LGBT (prohibited in Russia) with an extremist organization, thereby satisfying the demand of the Ministry of Justice.

Очень важно, чтобы Россия могла возглавить сопротивление антихристу, заявил патриарх Московский и всея Руси Кирилл, выступая на Рождественских парламентских встречах в Совете Федерации.
“Война еще не проиграна. И очень важно, чтобы наша страна была способна возглавить сопротивление – я сейчас невероятное слово скажу – антихристу. Сопротивлению пришествию в мир глобального зла”, – сказал предстоятель РПЦ. Его выступление транслировали телеканал “Россия 24” и медиаплатформа “Смотрим”.
Патриарх пояснил: антихрист придет, когда “у людей не будет возможности различить добро и зло”.
Он отметил, что Запад уже переориентировался на враждебные христианству ценности. Даже говоря о празднике Рождества Христова, англоязычные верующие избегают упоминания имени Христа.
“Уже Christmas нельзя. X-mas. Что такое X-mas, не знаю, – указал патриарх. – То есть само слово Христос уже нельзя в публичном пространстве произносить”.
Также Кирилл высказался о признании движения ЛГБТ экстремистским. По его словам, это решение “наставляет Россию на особый духовный путь”, и понятно, что Западу это не нравится.
30 ноября Верховный суд РФ признал международное общественное движение ЛГБТ (запрещено в России) экстремистской организацией, удовлетворив тем самым требование Минюста.
