1/ Do you know where the last phone call Epstein had in prison came from before he was found dead in his cell? The call was from Belarus. I may even know the exact address from which the call was made.
2/ At the moment, this is exclusive information. Unfortunately, there are no independent journalists left in Belarus who could investigate this matter more deeply on the ground. But perhaps someone, using OSINT tools, will be able to uncover more.
3/ The importance of Karina Shulyak in Epstein’s life—beyond the fact that she was the person he had his last conversation with—is evidenced by the fact that he planned to leave her 50 million dollars, ten times more than he intended for Ghislaine Maxwell.
4/ As well as a 32.73-carat diamond ring. Regarding this ring, Epstein wrote that he had given it “with the intention of marriage.”
5/ Moreover, in his will and trust documents, he expressed his intention to transfer to her his real estate portfolio, including the Zorro Ranch, an apartment in Paris, a mansion in Palm Beach, and even the infamous Little Saint James Island.
6/ Epstein visited Belarus several times and sent money to Karina’s parents
Karina Shulyak was a key link in Epstein’s Eastern European / post-Soviet network. It was she who handled the girls who were later used to establish contacts or to blackmail members of the American elite
7/ Documents indicate that Shulyak was one of nine employees of Southern Trust—a company used as a channel for making payments to foreign women and for managing the logistics of the Epstein Enterprise.
8/ Connected to this same network was a certain Sergey Belyakov, a man who made a staggering career in Russia: almost immediately after graduating from the FSB Academy in the late 1990s, he became a deputy minister of economic development,
9/ and later one of the organizers of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, often called “Putin’s Davos.” He later held a senior position at OZON.
10/ This Belyakov used Epstein as a bridge to look for ways to circumvent U.S. sanctions, including through cryptocurrency, after the annexation of Crimea. He also handled problems that arose involving Russian girls.
11/ So, I have established the exact address where Karina Shulyak’s parents lived or may still live, and where she herself lived: Minsk, Korytskogo Street, building 8, apartment 5.
12/ If by any chance you live or have lived in this building, please get in touch. The probability is not very high, since it is a two-story Stalin-era building with only eight apartments, but still—just in case.
13/ In Belarus, there are at least two high-ranking officials in the security services with the surname Shulyak, but the surname itself is quite common. We do not yet know Karina’s patronymic, so establishing a connection is difficult.
14/ The landline phone number is registered to T. A. Shulyak. These are rather rare initials for a man, so it is likely registered to a woman—Karina’s mother, Tetyana Andriivna Shulyak.
15/ I found a doctor with these initials who works at a Minsk polyclinic. Interestingly, she appears on the blacklist of the portal, which collected data on individuals involved in political repression in Belarus and in supporting the war in Ukraine.luka.zone
16/ The following is written about Tetyana Shulyak:
“An accomplice in crimes against the rights and freedoms of Belarusian citizens. Shulyak Tetyana Andriivna supports the Lukashenko regime and politically motivated repression.
17/ She facilitated the imprisonment of peaceful citizens. She refused to issue sick leave if a patient expressed opposition to the Lukashenko regime.”
18/ Karina Shulyak received a medical education in Belarus. According to available biographical data, she graduated from the Belarusian State Medical University (BSMU) in Minsk.
19/ Therefore, the probability that T. A. Shulyak is her mother is very high.
20/END
Low-apartment Stalin-era buildings were never typical housing for workers. In the 1950s, this was considered “elite” housing. They were home to the management of large factories, officials, and employees of the security age facebook.com/share/p/1BPa55…

Russian forces in Kupiansk made two attempts to attack through the oil pipeline to reach blocked units—a tactic that had previously allowed them to sneak into the city unnoticed. Both attempts were completely thwarted.
2/5 Near Dvorichna, 50-60 Russian soldiers crawled through a gas pipeline. Ukrainian drones spotted them very early on. Local commanders requested live television coverage, tracking their escape and firing artillery directly from the point of departure.
3/5 All the fugitives were pursued by FPV drones. None of them survived.
South of Kupiansk, another 40 soldiers attempted to escape through two different oil pipelines. Drones equipped with infrared cameras tracked each fugitive. All of them were killed.
1/9 On December 30, 2025, the mysterious Russian military radio station UVB-76—known as "The Buzzer"—stopped its monotonous hum and played Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
2/9 For anyone who remembers the fall of the Soviet Union, this song is terrifying: it is the traditional signal for a government coup or the death of a leader.
3/9 While some claim hackers have infiltrated the frequency, others fear it is a deliberate activation of Russia's "Dead Hand" nuclear system. This article explores why a simple ballet tune has the world holding its breath.
1/6 The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold their positions in most of Huliaipole, but further defense of the city is becoming extremely difficult due to the terrain.
2/6 The city is completely in the gray zone, as the enemy, like our forces, is present almost everywhere. In one basement there may be fighters of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and in the neighboring one there may be the enemy.
3/6 Only assault groups operate openly, and the enemy has significantly more of them, so they can afford to shoot a video in the center of Huliaipole with a flag.
2/6 Retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, believes that Russia's failure in Ukraine could be the beginning of the end for the Russian Federation.
3/6 "There are centrifugal forces that will tear it apart," he said on the ABC News Daily podcast. "I believe that we need to be prepared for the possibility of the disintegration of the Russian Federation."
1/ GENERAL LEONID IVASHOV STRONGLY CRITICIZES THE RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP
The well-known Russian general, General Leonid Ivashov, has sharply criticized the Russian leadership and assessed the 1,400 days of the “special military operation” as follows:
2/ 📌 “Before the start of the ‘special military operation,’ I issued a warning. And the past four years have proven the correctness and seriousness of those assessments.”
3/ 📌 “We have achieved no success at the tactical-operational level, and at the strategic level we have failed on ALL fronts.”
📌 “All industrial sectors have been destroyed.”
📌 “Science is in critical condition, and education has completely collapsed."
1/7 🐵🙈 Generals’ false reports convinced Putin he was winning the war - Financial Times
2/7 Since October, Putin has heard six public reports on the situation at the front, during which Russian generals openly lied about the “successes” of the Russian army.
3/7 Among other things, the Kremlin leader was informed about the alleged “capture” of Kupyansk, which President Vladimir Zelensky visited on December 12.
