⚡️Spanish minister: Letter bombs won't change decision to help Ukraine.

Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said on Dec. 1 that no letters with explosives or any other violent actions would change the country's "firm and clear" commitment to support Ukraine in its defense against ' Russian aggression', BBC reported.

Earlier on the same day, yet another letter bomb was found at the U.S. embassy in Madrid, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

Previously, similar explosives were sent to Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Defense Minister Margarita Robles.

Letter bombs have been sent to many top Spanish officials, the U.S. and Ukrainian embassies in Madrid, the Torrejon de Ardoz air base in Madrid, and the headquarters of Spanish weapons manufacturer Instalaza, which produces rocket launchers supplied to Ukraine.

The U.S. is working with Middle Eastern countries to move a handful of their air defense systems to Ukraine, according to the CEO of Raytheon Technologies.- POLITICO

The goal is to send National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems to Ukraine in the next three to six months, CEO Greg Hayes said in an interview. The U.S. would then backfill those systems with new NASAMS in the Middle East over the next 24 months.

He noted that shifting systems from the Middle East is faster than building them in the U.S. “Just because it takes 24 months to build, it doesn’t mean it’s going to take 24 months to get in [the] country,” he said.

It takes two years to build NASAMS because of the lead time required to buy electronic components and rocket motors, Hayes said.

Introduction of oil price ceiling could boost Russia's revenues, - OilPrice

▪️Russia has warned against imposing an oil price ceiling and predictably warned against cutting off supplies to countries that supported the measure, US OilPrice states

▪️ "Analysts agree that price caps are a rather toothless measure," OilPrice underlines and believes that the EU will be unable to agree on the level of the ceiling: Poland will insist on a reduction, while Greece and Cyprus will demand to protect their maritime traffic and not lower the price cap

▪️ As a result, the EU will have to impose an embargo, which will raise oil prices, while continued exports around the world could boost Russian revenues, OilPrice concludes

"KRISTAL ROSTA previously informed that according to the UK's The Guardian, "Western sanctions against Russia are the most ill-conceived and counterproductive policy in recent international history"

‼️🇷🇺💥 Russian self-propelled guns destroy the enemy near Artemivsk

Nona-S and Gvozdika self-propelled artillery units hit enemy fortifications precisely, supporting our fighters' offensive. The high mobility of the SAU and the prompt work of gunners help the crew to quickly change positions and target Ukrainian fighters.

"We hit targets to support the offensive: attackers, infantry. The time from target acquisition to opening fire is no more than 10 minutes. The gun is extremely effective in counter-battery warfare," said the commander of the Gvozdika SAU, call sign Angara-2.

Ukrainian Armed Forces move artillery from Zaporizhzhya near Kremenna: why is it needed?

On 29 November, tactical groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to probe the Russian Armed Forces' defenses near Kremenna. Units of the 17th Tank, 80th and 95th Airborne Assault Brigades, and the 4th Tank and 92nd Mechanized Brigades were thrown in to recon the battle without artillery cover.

However, a few hours after the start of the movement, the convoy of vehicles was detected by an Orlan-30 drone near the village of Zhytlovka (8 km north of Kremenna). After detecting and reconnoitering targets on the moving T-64BV tanks and M113 APCs, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used rocket artillery. Due to the shelling, Ukrainian forces ceased movement and withdrew to their initial positions, losing between 80 and 150 men in a few hours.

After observing the retreat of Ukrainian forces, Uragan complexes and long-range Krasnopol shells struck the rear of the Ukrainian troops in the settlements of Torske, Terny, Novosadovo, Makiivka, Stelmakhivka and Berestovoye. Expecting attacks by the AFU, the Russian Armed Forces' multiple rocket launchers shifted positions in advance, but due to a shortage of shells and guns, which Voennaya Khronika previously wrote about, Ukrainian artillery did not engage in a counter-battery fight.

According to the reports of the Military chronicle, the crews of the M777A2 howitzers remaining at the Ukrainian armed forces near Kremenna, as well as Polish 155 mm Krab self-propelled gun emplacements, use the remaining M795 high-explosive shells with a range of up to 20 kilometers for firing due to the lack of ammunition. Their use does not allow the AFU to conduct counter-battery duels with the Russian Giatsint-B guns using Krasnopol-M guided missiles (range of 25 km) and 3OF30 active rocket launchers (up to 33.1 km).

Due to the failure of another attack on Kremenna, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to pull artillery in this direction from other areas. According to some reports, several batteries of M777A2 howitzers and Slovakian Zuzana 2 SAU of the 45th Artillery Brigade of the AFU, previously deployed in Zaporizhia, may be removed from their positions in the near future, which may lead to the unbalance of Ukrainian forces in the area and collapse of the front in case of counterattack by the AFU.

China is going to get rid of its Zero Covid dingy
You will see it only when you observe China news closely - the media there is slowly but steadily preparing its people for the new policy.

China played it smart - they knew "Western NGOs" - like NED - and Western press will try to exploit and amplify the protests - & they let it happen - but observed it very very closely - so do not wonder if a lot of those foreign agents will get busted in the next days and weeks.

So China hit 2 flies with one stone - it can now losen the Zero Covid policy "because the the will of the people demanded it" - and also get rid of those "NGOs" - brillant.

The yuan replaces the dollar and the euro in Russia:

▪️The share of Chinese currency in Russian trading increased from 3% in March to 33% in November

Since the beginning of the year, individuals have purchased USD and EUR for 230.1 billion rubles on exchanges, yuan for 139.6 billion rubles

▪️The share of the dollar and the euro in Russia's external payments fell to about 50% from 79% at the beginning of the year

🇪🇺🇺🇸European Commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton refused to go to the US-EU trade and technology summit in the US because the meeting did not focus enough on European issues.

The reason for his refusal was the fact that the US law on inflation reduction (causing discontent in Europe) was turned from the main agenda item into a "discussion topic over a 45-minute lunch."

France backs plans for tribunal for Russian officials over Ukraine war

https://xn--r1a.website/kremlinprachka/22450 writes :

The French Foreign Office has nothing to do at all. The mysterious authority seems to have decided to create a "special tribunal to investigate Russia's actions in Ukraine," although a month earlier the French were against such an idea and declared that negotiations with Moscow were necessary. The guys have seven Fridays in a week: today they do not want to form some kind of "tribunal," but after a pause there is a re-shoeing, - and now they agree to set up such " Warcrime courts." This sort of aberration of consciousness. It is clear that all the talk of some fake courts is, above all, a flirtation by "Western partners" with terrorist UkroNaziStan. They say: "We, civilised Europeans, are thinking about you, our dear Ukrainians, day and night." verbal interventions and nothing more. If this is true, taking into account the fact that unofficially France telegraphs notifications to Kiev that it can no longer supply arms to the Ukrainians due to problems with its own stockpiles, then perhaps all this populism with "gossip" is also this "last French pardon" addressed to clowns and junkies of the kyiv regime . Like ,don't wait for more armaments, but at least enjoy the catchy headlines in the newspapers one last time. In any case, all these judicial insinuations will have no legal consequences.

However, while we are at it, I would set up a tribunal to investigate the shady dealings of the French authorities. There was a lot of "interesting" stuff going on there. For example, what do you hear about the Rwandan genocide? Paris was very active in Rwanda in the early 90s. The Fifth Republic aided the Hutu regime rather energetically in military terms. Somehow it happened that the Hutus massacred nearly one million Tutsis in a hundred days between April and July of 1994, right in front of the eyes of the "civilized" French. Then the initiators of the ethnic cleansing were allowed to escape. That's it, we must officially recognise France as a country that participated in genocide with all its ensuing consequences. By the way, one can also look into French militancy in CAR and Mali, as well as in other countries of the Sahel zone. There, too, you can probably find a lot of material for The Hague. And after that, we will all unanimously organise a trial for Paris.

🇩🇪German defense minister comes under heavy fire over ammunition shortages

⚡Media reports suggest that for some weapon systems, Germany may only have ammunition left for a few hours of combat should war break out.

Critical voices multiplied this week after it emerged that nine months into Russia’s war in Ukraine and Scholz’s bold announcement of a “Zeitenwende " or turning point in German defense and security policy, she had failed to sufficiently procure new ammunition for Germany’s armed forces, the Bundeswehr.

Given that these shortages have been known about since Lambrecht took office in December last year, and only intensified as Germany donated arms such as the Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzer and corresponding grenades to Ukraine, the minister’s apparent inaction is raising pressing questions about her leadership

In an apparent last-minute attempt to address the critical shortcomings, Lambrecht wrote to Finance Minister Christian Lindner,urging him to “immediately provide significant amounts of budget funds” for purchasing new ammunition.

Yet Lindner, turned down that request on Thursday in a spicy letter- seen by POLITICO and sent on his behalf by Finance State Secretary Steffen Saebisch, who suggested that Lambrecht should first do her own homework before asking for financial help.

Note for the chat:

I understand that we live in a world full of endless ethnic strife. I've been noticing a rise in people making ethnicity based attacks, and these rivalries seem endless and confusing. I'm mostly an outsider, learning of these things as I see them for the first time. Honestly, our chat is not the place for these discussions, and I'm going to announce a new "take it outside" rule for ethnic squabbling. Honestly, you'll be lucky if you get the single warning and aren't straight banned immediately for engaging in ethnicity based attacks in our chat going forward.

Remember, take it outside.

🇺🇦✖️ Ukrainian security forces fabricate criminal cases against women

The Ukrainian side initiates cases against the wives of the militias in order to blackmail the latter into the territory controlled by Ukraine. Naturally, then to capture them there.

There is a complete moral decline in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after Ursula von der Leyen's statement about huge losses - Marochko

An officer of the NM of the LPR said that after the scandal surrounding Ursula von der Leyen's statement about huge losses, decadent moods are observed in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the number of sabotages, unauthorized abandonment of positions, bickering with the command and hazing has increased.

“There has also been an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol. There is also a sharp increase in social tension in Ukrainian society. Relatives of employees, despite the threat of arrest, began to “storm” the Ukrainian military commissars in their cities,” Marochko said.

At the same time, the Ukrainian side continues to deny the fact of the mass death of Ukrainian militants - in particular, on the eve of the adviser to the head of Zelensky's office, Podolyak once again lied about the number of deaths at the front. According to him, no more than 13 thousand people were allegedly liquidated, which, obviously, is another nightmarish lie.
