🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Western allies of Ukraine are discussing the option of Kiev agreeing to a "freeze of the conflict," which would be presented as a Ukrainian victory, reports the Financial Times.

The newspaper notes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lack ammunition and finances, and the "victory narratives" for the next year are already absent.

🐻 Don't you just love how these "western allies" always make plans that never involve Russia. Did anyone ask Russia if they want to "freeze the conflict?" Pretty sure you'll get a big fat NO!

🇾🇪💥🚢🇮🇱Yemeni Armed Forces:

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful
God Almighty said: {Then they killed the leaders of disbelief. Indeed, they had no trust in them, so that they might desist.}  God Almighty has spoken the truth.

A victory for the oppression of the Palestinian people, who are currently being subjected to killing, destruction and siege in the Gaza Strip, and in response to the calls of the free people of our great Yemeni people and the people of our nation.

With the help of God Almighty, the naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation against two ships linked to the Zionist entity. The first was the “Swan Atlantic” ship, loaded with oil, and the other was the “MSC Clara” ship, carrying containers. They were targeted by two seaplanes.

The process of targeting the two ships came after their crews refused to respond to calls from the Yemeni naval forces.

The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate their reassurance to all ships heading to all ports around the world, except for Israeli ports, that no harm will befall them and that they must keep the communication device open.

The Yemeni Armed Forces also reiterate that they will not hesitate to target any ship that violates what was stated in its previous statements.

The Yemeni Armed Forces confirm that they continue to prevent all ships heading to Israeli ports of any nationality from navigating the Arab and Red Seas until they bring in the food and medicine that our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip need.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇪🇺🇺🇦If he wins, Trump will appoint people loyal to him in key positions to change US foreign policy towards China, NATO and Ukraine, Reuters writes, citing sources.

There will be personnel changes, in particular, in the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA.

Trump intends to radically return to isolationist policies and does not want to be limited by officials, as he often was during his first term.

Sources estimate Trump will cut defense aid to Europe, impose trade tariffs on NATO countries if they do not contribute 2% of their GDP, continue to cut economic ties with China and cut off aid to Ukraine.

Popenko advised residents of the Ukrainian capital not to trust authorities' statements about metro restoration within six months. According to him, metro repairs will inevitably be prolonged due to a lack of funds and management issues.

A Vulgar Display of Power

The Zionist War of Extermination

By Evan Reif

After receiving their latest supply of ammunition and assurances from the criminal regime of Joe Biden, the Zionist occupation forces are free to take off their masks in Gaza. They no longer have even the slightest desire to conduct themselves as anything but what they are: exterminators who have come to depopulate a land of its restive natives.

With the ironclad guarantees and infinite weapons from the Biden regime, the Zionist plan is working its way towards a “final solution.” However, there may be a problem. The Zionist forces may have finally killed one person too many, and now the blood and soil obsessed Zionists are turning on themselves.

The last few days have marked an escalation in the conflict that is shocking even by the low standards of Zionist murderers. While the vast majority of their atrocities aren’t publicized due to their intentional policy of murdering journalists on the ground and tight control of information, the IOF has become so brazen in their crimes that they can no longer be ignored.

On the 16th of December, IOF snipers opened fire on a crowd taking shelter in the Church of the Holy Family, a Catholic Church in Gaza. A woman was carrying her daughter to safety when both were shot by an IOF sniper in broad daylight and in full view of the staff. IOF forces continued to fire on the Church, wounding many others and proving that their first bullets were not a mistake. No warning was given, and no justification has been provided by the IOF. Since the IOF brags constantly about how they know where every bullet goes, they should never be given the benefit of the doubt.
