Over 2,600 UK Troops to Take Part in Exercises on NATO's Eastern Flank
"More than 2,600 UK troops and 730 vehicles will take part in exercises on NATO's eastern flank, the country's Defense Ministry said in a statement.
"Leading from the front, the UK is providing the largest contribution of forces with over 2600
personnel, and 730 vehicles deploying to NATO’s eastern flank," the ministry said.
According to the statement, the UK’s 1st Division will command all of NATO’s land forces during Exercise Steadfast Dart 25 in Bulgaria and Romania to practice the deployment of the new Allied Reaction Force, which can "rapidly reinforce" NATO’s eastern flank.
Russia has pointed to NATO's unprecedented activity near its western borders. The alliance is expanding its initiatives and says this is being done to contain "Russian aggression." The Kremlin has noted that Moscow is not threatening anyone, but will not ignore actions that are potentially dangerous to its interests." Sputnik

South American leader makes Antarctica sovereignty claim
"Chilean President Gabriel Boric has made history as the first Latin American leader to visit
the South Pole, reaffirming Chile’s sovereignty claim over part of Antarctica.
Accompanied by Defense Minister Maya Fernandez, Environment Minister Maisa Rojas, and senior military officials, President Boric embarked on the trip on January 2, 2025, departing from Punta Arenas in southern Chile on board a Hercules C-130 military transport plane. His first stop was Chile’s research station on Union Glacier before proceeding to the South Pole.
Later that day, the delegation visited the United States’ Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where they spent approximately two hours meeting researchers and observing scientific projects. The presidential office described the visit as occurring “at an important moment for Chile’s scientific endeavors in the region.” RT

RT crew narrowly escapes deadly Ukrainian drone strike on journalists
"Kiev’s forces targeted a civilian car on Saturday, killing Izvestia reporter Alexander
Martemyanov. Kosarev and the Izvestia reporter were both recording “yet another atrocity” at the scene of a Ukrainian cluster munition strike on a residential area in the Donbass town of Gorlovka on Saturday, Kosarev told RT's Eunan O’Neill on Saturday.
“They attacked the city of Gorlovka with cluster shells and ten people were wounded. Alexander and I and other reporters were on the scene recording everything that happened,” Kosarev said. “Mind you, there was not a single military site in vision,” he added. Moscow has condemned the drone strike that murdered Martemyanov as an act of terrorism. This “deliberate murder of a Russian journalist is yet another brutal crime in the list of [Kiev’s] bloody atrocities,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday. She slammed Western watchdog organizations for turning a blind eye to Ukrainian war crimes." RT
