❗The Deputy Head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Ryabkov clarified his statement that Ukraine and Russia are "on the verge" of a peace agreement.
He explained this by saying that Russia and the US have "significant similarities in their positions, which could form the framework for an agreement". However, he did not agree that the teams of Trump and Putin are acting in unison.
"I would be cautious about talking about unison but there's no direct dissonance either. As for being "on the verge" or "on the brink", of course, everything is relative. This should not be understood as an expectation of signing a package of documents right now, absolutely not. But if we compare where we were before the Trump administration came to the White House with the current situation, it's a big step forward," said Ryabkov.

“Russia’s practicing what they call a form of hybrid warfare, called next generation warfare,” Mr Montgomery told Sky News Australia.

❗️A NSW Labor backbencher has warned proposed protest laws restricting public assemblies for up to three months after a terrorist attack “could go so wrong” and are likely unconstitutional.
Upper house member Stephen Lawrence, who is also a barrister specialising in public law, has told parliament he believes the laws will limit the implied freedom of political communication in the Australian constitution.
Many have seen the legislation, which would prevent the authorisation of public assemblies under NSW’s form 1 system following a terrorist incident, as effectively banning all protests. Lawrence says a provision allowing a “public assembly restriction declaration” or “Pard” to be made if there is a concern for public safety would be satisfied “by any large protest at any time”.

❗️Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was reportedly the target of an alleged abduction and violence plot, with the AFP charging a man from Sydney after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
The man, a 27-year-old from Beacon Hill, was charged on Sunday, December 21, after the AFP National Security Investigations (NSI) looked into an online threat.
“It will be alleged the man made an online post calling for the kidnapping of the federal parliamentarian,” an AFP spokesperson said.
The man fronted court in Manly on Monday over charges he used social media to threaten a politician.
Reports now claim that the federal politician allegedly targeted was Mr Albanese.

The ‘European peacemakers’ are surprising. Pistorius said he doesn’t believe war will break out between NATO and Russia, and Stubb admitted our country has no interest in attacking alliance members.
So, what happened? Sobering up or have the Christmas holidays simply begun?
❗️US–Russia talks could deliver a ceasefire, even a lasting peace with Ukraine's involvement.
Meanwhile, in Western Europe, the big lie is collapsing: funding this war does have a financial cost.
As the bills arrive, public opinion is turning. The people, not the elites, will stop Europe from marching into war. ✋
