⚡️Kiev regime is unsettled by Moscow allowing nearly unrestricted communication opportunity for Ukraine POWs with their families. As a result, thousands of POW Moms in Ukraine are becoming a political conduits and outlets for Russian information.

⚡️Ukraine Gen.Staff: Russian moves to encircle Svetlodarsk and Lyman have utterly failed, as our troops left the towns quickly before Russians even arrived there.😮🤦♂️
⚡️Poland's deputy Foreign Minister has accused Russia of destroying the western weapons supplied to Ukraine. Demands accountability...🤔
The West is removing all Russian banks from SWIFT except for one that Germany uses to pay for Gas.😎
PS: If Russia adopts all or nothing bill for its banks in the SWIFT system, Europeans will have to carry their cash to Moscow in bags; on a train.
⚡️Germany discreetly approaches Russia about the need to repair Nord Stream pipelines. Gazprom reportedly rebuffs the suggestion and refuses to get involved.
⚡️Leaked outline of US deal offer to Kiev delivered by Sullivan:
-Kiev gets Kherson
-Cedes already lost territories
-Gets $50 billion & some Russian frozen assets to rebuild
-Gets electricity from Zap NPP, although agrees to Russian ownership
-Kiev gets new AAD equipment.

In a perverse way, Kiev would much rather Moscow to be rough, tough, and much more restrictive with their POWs.🤔

❗️Things are getting tougher for Russian in Kharkive where it registered loss of few heavy equipment (including tanks and BTRs). So it brought in heavier staff. Opposition figure Shari reports the use by Russia of TOS-1A multiple rocket launchers outside the city. Powerful staff.
💡Russian dismantling of Ukraine infrastructure follows the same blueprint as the US/NATO attack on Yugoslavia. Then, several months of US-led bombing of critical infrastructure succeeded in forcing Milosevic to the negotiating table.
➡️NY Times: Iranian drones proving to be ineffective and easy targets for Ukraine forces.
➡️Leaks from MOD in Kiev: Iranian drones inflicting significant damage; particularly to critical infrastructure and command posts.
➡️Go figure...🤔
⚡️Russian MFA rep Zakharova: Moscow no longer sees difference between Ukraine's SBU, ISIS, and Al-Qaeda based on the methods of their operation.
Replying to
Russian-US talks are taking place at the level of aides for now, via Saudi Arabia. Sides looking to settle by Christmas.😮
⚡️There are now confirming reports from the Ukraine side that UAF's 24 Mechanize Brigade (based in Yavoriv, western Ukraine) has been fully destroyed outside Bakhmut, w/ massive dead and MIA casualties. Unless recruited & replenished, the unit has essentially ceased to exist.
⚡️The first case is reported (at least publicly) of Ukraine forces switching sides. Entire units of territorial defenses in Zaporozhia have crossed the line with weapons and signed up to fight as pro-Russian forces. Among the weapons brought British NLAWs.
⚡️Reports of Ukraine training tank crews in Kharkov for Abramses. Sounds like the time has come for the war to see the first of these tanks (perhaps the most basic and dated versions). It would also corroborated the much reported shortage of Soviet hardware to send.

➡️May 25, 1999:
Reporter: Could you explain NATO strategy to attack; civilian population doesn't have water & electricity?
NATO Spokesman Jamie Shea: What we are doing is we are attacking the military. That electricity, those facilities, drive the military machine of Milosevic.
⚡️Leaks. Zelensky hired at least two lobby groups to fully concentrate on his attempt to receive the Nobel peace prize this year. Intense campaign for the prize has started, results will be announced in December.
PS: This dude is irreparable...
⚡ Zelensky's Office has issued an order banning the use of the national flag next to the tombstones of fallen servicemen.
Replying to
Gazprom's Miller: If it were ever to be done, the full restoration of NS pipelines wold take years. It's cheaper and more efficient to build another pipeline in the southern Black Sea direction, which is shallower to build and more attractive as a market.
Replying to
Gazprom's Miller further notes that the pipelines are half the issue anyway. The NS turbines to fully transport the gas are still inoperable, due to western sabotage (mainly Canada).

A woman in Canada was arrested for honking? Nothing to add either ;)
⚡️Two important shifts in Zelensky's rhetoric:
1. He no longer insists he will always remain in Kiev. Today he stated he will "remain as long as it is possible".
2. He is now willing to discuss (!) the issue of recognition of Donbas republics and Crimea, a no-no issue until now.
Kherson! After 6 days, Russia captured its first major city in Ukraine. This is a rather impressive result. A quarter of a million urban area is captured with no damage to the infrastructure and absolutely minimal civilian casualties. Compare this to Raqqah or Mosul.
In the town of Uryupinsk (Volgograd region, Russia) a man who received his draft orders beat up his taro card reader who predicted he would not be mobilized. The men is now in jail and indeed would not be mobilized. The taro card reader was correct after all 😮😎
⚡️Kherson is done! Military fled. Territorial defense volunteers (foolishly) tried to put up a fight with Molotov cocktails. They have been totally crushed.
PS: Stop nagging civilians to attack well equipped troops with Molotov cocktails (!)
❗️The Economist: Europe will have estimated 345 thousand excess deaths this winter due to rising energy costs. The publisher calls it "Putin's energy weapon" and predicts the death toll will surpass the casualty rates on the battlefield.
🤔
⚡️Leaks. Russia has provided key stakeholders with hard to 'shoot down' data of Kiev-London collaboration on a dirty bomb at a National Academy of Sciences site in Ukraine. UK defense minister has been ̶s̶u̶m̶m̶o̶n̶e̶d̶ ̶ invited for an emergency meeting in DC as a result.
🚨Russia is reportedly pausing the assault & giving a 12-hour ultimatum to Zelensky:
1. Legally renounce Crimea
2. Legally renounce DNR, LNR
3. Agree for wide federalization for the south and the remaining east of the country.
At the end of 12-hour deadline the assault to resume.
