Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked for his initials to be engraved on chains of crosses that will be given to the participants and the commanders of Russian military units in the operation in Ukraine, the Kremlin spokesperson said, Interfax reports.

"I believe our friends will be honored to receive these symbols of faith which were consecrated by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia during the festive liturgy on [Orthodox] Christmas Eve," Dmitry Peskov quoted the Russian leader as saying.

At Putin's request and in his presence, Patriarch Kirill held the consecration ceremony of these crosses and icons for the Russian military.

Is this the best you’ve got today? The crosses aren’t a bad idea in themselves but putting Putin’s initials on them is probably not the best move. That being said, the front keeps moving west.

Maybe marcus toned it down in honor of Eastern Orthodox Christmas. :)

Orthodox celebrate it today.

Eisenhower gave a letter to every soldier on D-Day. Challenge Coins are very popular nowadays. I don’t see this as much different.

It’s hilarious to see the low IQ crowd just eat up this phony symbolism. There is simply nothing remotely Christan about Putin’s genocidal mafia regime. The past twenty years have shown us that any who oppose it are killed. Anything that can’t be stolen is destroyed.

In related news from the Armenian news site, "Ukraine's position in Russia's Kursk is critical to any future negotiations, Blinken says."

Armenian News, Yerevan, Armenia 6 January 2025.

Two weeks of Biden-Harris administration still to go. Two more weeks of Blinken "saying" and "saying." "How's Kursk doink?" Well, the latest in the media isn't as rosy as the last few months of media coverage. And two more weeks.... Tick tock.

Meanwhile one can believe the press (Sky News), "Ukraine's air force says one of its F-16 fighter jet pilots shot down six missiles during a Russian aerial attack last month. " Or one can be skeptical and await corroboration. Surely seems like salvos of propaganda are being exchanged, from all the participants (which is far more than two).

Hitler was a narcissist, too. It got progressively worse as the Wehrmacht was being crushed by the Allies.
