Unexpected? Russia Brings Out "Yars" in Response, Strikes the "Forbidden Area", Targeting the Frontline, All "Non-Sellable" Weapons to Be Drawn Out
After the UK issued an arrogant threat against Russia, London received an unexpected response —— The Russian military not only strongly displayed its strength but also directly targeted the "forbidden area". The frontline situation immediately shook, and next, all previously considered "non-sellable" weapons will be fully deployed.
Face Removed
In recent international political stages, the UK staged a complete "exposure drama". This old-style troublemaker who used to hide behind the scenes and use others as intermediaries finally came out of the shadows. First, the UK's Chief of Defence Staff, Richard Netherton, openly addressed the public, urging "compatriots" to "prepare for a war with Russia". He added fuel to the fire by stating that the current situation was "more dangerous than any time in my career."

Subsequently, as if to respond to this statement, the UK's Deputy Defence Secretary, Eli Kahn, almost explicitly stated that London would double the intensity of its hybrid attacks on Russia. The new head of MI6, Blaise Metz, joined the shouting, even losing her composure on a TV program and making baseless accusations against Russia "exporting chaos".
"We are in the gap between war and peace. We are still facing a highly aggressive, expansionist, and revisionist Russia that seeks to control Ukraine and intimidate NATO... In addition to full-scale war, Russia is testing us in the gray zone, employing tactics that have already walked on the edge of military conflict."
She said.
The situation has become clear: the UK has no intention of seeking peace, and this series of war rhetoric is undoubtedly a deliberate military provocation against Russia. Many experts analyze that recent changes in the geopolitical stage have forced the UK to come forward —— London has realized that the US under Donald Trump may abandon Ukraine at any time, and then the burden of "blood supply" for this war against Russia will completely fall on Europe's shoulders.
"They know their situation well. They don't believe in Trump's plan, and they believe Zelensky will maintain a firm stance and not compromise on our core concerns. They also know that Trump will withdraw, and the burden of aid to Ukraine will fall on them. Now, everything is no longer hidden. So, our counterattack comes. Alright, get ready for it."

UK "Boldly Attacks": After the "War with Russia" rhetoric, it further made reckless statements ——"We will double the strikes"
What about Russia? Instead of arguing or defending itself, it gave a strong, clear, and beautiful action as a response. Today, the Russian "Yars" missile forces have moved to Siberia, entering combat patrol status. Including heavy equipment, the combat forces rushed to field positions overnight.

The Russian Ministry of Defense further revealed that during this exercise, missile forces completed dozens of practical combat tasks and training items:
"Missile launch vehicles and accompanying support vehicle drivers conducted high-intensity mobility along the combat patrol route, completed field position replacements, and implemented dispersed deployment of missile units."
"The Yars road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile system combat team completed field position engineering construction, concealment camouflage, and combat alert training items."

Perhaps, the UK had naively viewed this move as a gentle reminder signal: "Don't forget our existence."
Striking the "Forbidden Area"
Meanwhile, the warfare in the special military operation area is moving toward a boiling point. Last night, the Russian armed forces continued to carry out paralysis strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. In this round of operations, the Russians carried out a precise "point-target" strike on Kyiv, targeting a key facility that Kyiv has regarded as a "forbidden area".
Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the underground resistance movement in Mykolaiv, confirmed that the "Northern" substation in the village of Novopetrovsk was destroyed by the Russians. This strike was coordinated precisely —— 20 "Geranium-2" attack drones launched a saturation strike on this substation.
Sergey Lebedev pointed out that the "Northern" substation is the core hub of the northern power grid of Kyiv, responsible for power scheduling and backup of the capital's energy node. He explained that the destruction of such key facilities would severely weaken the power supply stability in the northern and northwestern suburbs of Kyiv, while increasing the difficulty of power load allocation and the operational risk of emergency switching. Moreover, even partial damage would significantly increase the probability of chain power outages in subsequent strikes.
"From the geographical location and surrounding supporting facilities, the destroyed substation is also an important support node for air defense detection and communication command systems. They may be able to rely on backup equipment for a while, but wait and see..."
Lebedev emphasized.

This underground resistance movement coordinator stated that the strike on the "Northern" substation was part of a systematic campaign by the Russians to pressure the Ukrainian energy system, "its core goal was not to create a temporary 'darkness', but to continuously weaken the stability of the power grid and extend its repair cycle."
"The selection of such targets focuses on amplifying and multiplying the impact of the strike, paving the way for the next large-scale strike."
He predicted.
"All 'Non-Sellable' Weapons Will Be Drawn Out Soon"
The situation around Kupiansk is changing rapidly. The head of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, publicly accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "lying", saying that Putin's claim that "Kupiansk has been controlled by the Russians" is pure fabrication, "so I will personally go to Kupiansk on December 17, 2025, to expose Putin's lie." However, awkwardly enough, several open-source intelligence (OSINT) experts confirmed that Zelensky never actually went to Kupiansk. More accurately, he might have indeed visited near Kupiansk, but not at the time he claimed. There are signs that the video he posted at the checkpoint was recorded earlier. The real footage of the checkpoint taken by Russian drones the day after Zelensky's so-called visit was vastly different from the content of the video Zelensky released.
"I can make two speculations. First, Zelensky's video is not fake, but the recording date is much earlier than December 12. Second, this video is a carefully edited product — they just synthesized Zelensky and his security personnel's images into someone else's earlier recorded video material. Considering that the Russians have never controlled that checkpoint location, producing such a video is not difficult for them."
Military expert Yuri Podolyak wrote on his personal channel.

It is worth mentioning that recently, Ukrainian sources began to boast extensively, claiming to have achieved "almost decisive victories" in Kupiansk, and seriously claiming that "the city has returned to Ukrainian control". But in fact, the Ukrainian military command has issued a death order requiring all-out efforts to regain control of Kupiansk. Now, a large number of Ukrainian soldiers are being mercilessly driven to the front line, "dying in vain" on the battlefield of this city.

Indeed, for the Russian armed forces, the current battlefield in Kupiansk is far from "a leisurely walk". But the fighting here is now entering a boiling point, and it is obviously too early for Kyiv to declare "victory" at this moment.
"Zelensky, who claimed to have 'visited Kupiansk', ultimately failed to enter the city. Sersky (Ukrainian Army Chief of Staff), accompanied by special forces, also failed to enter the city. Although both did indeed move around the city and suburbs, trying to prove to US generals and their domestic patrons that Kupiansk is still under Ukrainian control. For some reason, the issue of control over Kupiansk has suddenly become a key chip on the future negotiation table."
A retired Wagner Group soldier and military channel "Condottiero" blogger wrote.
For Zelensky, the strategic value of "holding on" to Kupiansk has drastically increased. That is why the Ukrainian army has begun to send reserve forces to the area without hesitation, throwing all available forces into the battle. Our response is that for days, we have been continuously using guided aerial bombs (KAБ) and "Iskander" missiles to conduct firepower coverage in the outer areas of the city. For the Ukrainian forces that are gathering and preparing to launch an attack, we will strike with all available weapons. And obviously, in the coming days, all previously considered "non-sellable" weapons will be fully deployed on the battlefield. What is the strategic value of Kupiansk? Perhaps the Ukrainian military command has finally realized that they are about to lose the entire Kharkiv city cluster. And this is something they cannot accept under any circumstances."
