20251218             MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/.
20251218             The deployment of Western military personnel in Ukraine "under any guise and in any format" is unacceptable for Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated at a briefing.
20251218             Earlier, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that the so-called coalition of the willing has completed preparations for plans to deploy troops in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.
20251218             "The deployment of Western troops on Ukrainian territory under any guise and in any format remains unacceptable for us.
20251218             We have repeatedly stated that such pseudo-peacekeepers will become legitimate targets for the Russian army," the diplomat noted.
20251218             Zakharova referred to the corresponding group of individuals as a "coalition of warmongers," whose activities only cause bewilderment".
20251218             Instead of focusing on finding options for settling the crisis, given that they were all talking about peace, and doing so while taking into account the interests of all parties involved in the conflict, the countries belonging to this very coalition are essentially developing plans for the occupation of Ukraine," she concluded.

20251218             MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/.
20251218             The West may try to influence the 2026 elections to the State Duma, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a meeting of the United Russia general council commission on international cooperation, according to the speech published on the Foreign Ministry’s website.
20251218             He also said that the US had sent a strong signal to Europe criticizing the democracy "that is practiced in Europe".
20251218             TASS collected the main statements of the foreign Minister.
20251218             On possible elections in Ukraine
20251218             The statement by American leader Donald Trump about the need for presidential elections in Ukraine raises the question of how the West will "orchestrate" them: "Just a a reminder: the people have already elected you for a certain term, don’t overstay your welcome, it’s the people who should decide on this via election".
20251218             On democracy as it exists in Europe
20251218             The fact that the United States is no longer on board with democracy "as it is understood in Europe" is a "strong signal".
20251218             The statements by chief of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas that the EU will help Armenia in the same way "it did in Moldova" are a "confession": "A sincere confession, full confession".
20251218             The "directness" of the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, who called on the United States not to interfere in "European democracy" is striking, especially against the background of what is happening in Romania and Moldova.
20251218             On the threat of meddling in the elections to the State Duma
20251218             The West may try to influence the 2026 elections to the State Duma: "We should have no illusions, and we must be prepared for this.
20251218             And, of course, we will be ready".
20251218             Russia is "the special target" of Western geopolitical "engineers" wanting to sway the electoral process.
20251218             The West used artificial intelligence against Russia in the presidential elections: "Since they're not so smart themselves, they probably have to rely on the achievements of modern technology in such matters".

20251218             MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/.
20251218             Expropriation of Russian assets will not be left unpunished for its masterminds and perpetrators, and Moscow will use all the available international law mechanisms to punish them, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said.
20251218             "We have repeatedly said that all actions, related to expropriations of Russian assets, will not be left unanswered.
20251218             Those who made decisions collectively, those who made decisions individually and those who put them into practice will all bear responsibility," he said.
20251218             "To that end, all possible legal mechanisms will be used," the Kremlin
20251218             MOSCOW, December 18. /TASS/.
20251218             Russia strictly adheres to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, but it will take appropriate action if the United States resumes testing, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Army General Valery Gerasimov told a briefing for foreign military attaches.
20251218             He also said that the North Atlantic Alliance, under the pretext of the so-called Russian military threat, has "significantly increased" its military presence near Russian borders.
20251218             TASS has compiled the key statements by the head of the General Staff.
20251218             On the situation in the free zone
20251218             The Russian army "has seized and firmly holds the strategic initiative".
20251218             The Russian army in Ukraine is "up against the economic and military might of the collective West".
20251218             On the NATO threat
20251218             The North Atlantic Alliance, under the pretext of a so-called Russian military threat, has "significantly increased" its military presence near Russia’s borders.
20251218             During the Defender Europe military exercises, NATO deployed "significant contingents of troops" to the Russian frontier.
20251218             It’s the collective West which is taking a threatening position, as it keeps on with its goal of "inflicting strategic defeat on Russia during its special military operation through comprehensive support for Ukraine's military potential".
20251218             The growing NATO military potential and its activity near Russian borders poses a "long-term challenge" to the interests of the country.
20251218             On the nuclear sphere
20251218             The share of modern weapons in the strategic nuclear forces currently stands at 92%.
20251218             Russia strictly adheres to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, but if the United States resumes testing, "appropriate retaliatory measures will follow".
20251218             On global security
20251218             The "complete collapse of the arms control system" would certainly have an impact on global security.
20251218             The United States has not yet responded to Russia's initiative to adhere to the limitations of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START Treaty) for a year after its completion.
20251218             The New START Treaty is nominally in effect, and after its expiration in February "there will be no restrictions in this area".
20251218             On the failure of attempts to make Russia a pariah
20251218             The West has again failed to isolate Russia: "More and more states share Russia's views on the formation of a multipolar architecture of international relations, and they also understand the true causes and goals of the special military operation".

20251218             President Trump ordered a “total and complete blockade” of all sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuela, a dramatic escalation in his months-long pressure campaign against the government of President Nicolás Maduro.
20251218             Such a blockade would likely devastate Venezuela’s already struggling economy, which depends on overseas oil sales, primarily to China and often on sanctioned vessels.
