MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. The Ukrainian security forces were given the task to "tighten the screws" as much as possible and issue about 2 million military summonses in early 2026, which will be tantamount to general mobilization, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
She also pointed to the "imbecility and bravery" expressed in the statements by some Western politicians about the blockade of the Kaliningrad Region. Besides, Zakharova called Latvia’s arrest of Viktor Gushchin, vice-president of the Russian community and long-term chairman of the Coordinating Council of Russian Compatriots in Latvia, an act of repression for political reasons.
TASS has compiled the key statements by the official representative of the Foreign Ministry.
Vladimir Zelensky is not going to repay the debt to the EU at all, the Europeans will never receive the money given to Kiev: "According to him, Ukraine will repay the debt only if Russia pays the so-called reparations. Any sane person understands that no reparations in the form that Zelensky talks about, calling it reparations, some kind of 'duty' of Russia, nothing like that will happen. Maybe the European Union will finally hear what their foster child told Brussels? Maybe they'll realize that this money — 90 billion euros and all the other loans — they'll never see."
