Our government had many mistakes, we had moments of desperation in 1941-1942, when our army retreated, left our native villages and towns of Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, Leningrad region, the Baltic States, the Karelian-Finnish Republic, left because there was no other way out. Other people could say to the government: you have not justified our expectations, go away, we will put another government, which will make peace with Germany and provide us with peace. But the Russian people did not go for this, for they believed in the correctness of their government's policy, and made sacrifices to ensure the defeat of Germany. And this trust of the Russian people in the Soviet government proved to be the decisive force that ensured the historic victory over the enemy of mankind - over fascism. Thank him, the Russian people, for this trust! To the health of the Russian people!"

Note: and who says we've changed?

In Kiev, they say, the "world's largest Ukrainian flag" has been torn again

"Daggers" are flying at military and infrastructure facilities in Kiev, explosions are heard in the capital of Ukraine.

Such are the results of Putin's direct line-2023.

Ruthenians. it's time for you to remember your origins.

There (they have) they show how the imperial fathers barbarically dip their maggots in cold water at -30.

For what purpose? So those babies can survive the war.

That's right...

Who's on a schedule? I'm morning and evening.

@Slavyangrad

The bitter cold and pitchy darkness that envelopes Kiev after our strikes on the city's critical infrastructure might appear cruel at first sight. However, they are a merciful dispensation in comparison with what distraught Ukrainian powers are setting about as a 'military conscription'.

Although expressed many times before, it should be recalled once again: this isn't only about saving the Russian soldiers' lives; ironically, it helps АFU forcibly recruited soldiers, thrown to 'protect democratic values', to flee from slaughter regiments behind their backs and surrender to the Russian army. And save their own lives thereby.

Too late, Volodymyr Zelensky. Too late.

Note: Well, people's sense of humor is normal - so we'll live.

📌#Artemovsk

⚠️ The Russian Armed Forces continued offensive operations in Chernoblyets on the outskirts of Artemovsk; attacked in Bogdanivka and Khromove.

🔻 Geolocated fighting shows that the RF Armed Forces ousted Ukraine from near the Industrial Plant but also attacked in the dachas in Chernoblyets in the Ivanovskoye direction.

ahahahahahaha

❗️The US Congress did not agree on $61 billion in aid to Ukraine and went on winter break.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has decided not to extend the work of both houses of Congress by a week.

Ukrainian channel Strana:

The Kyiv region was attacked with missiles, OVA reports.

There is no information about casualties or damage.

At the same time, Air Force Speaker Ignat said that the consequences of the Daggers’ arrivals would not be reported.

“Let the enemy draw his own conclusions about where he hit or didn’t hit. Let’s not feed him information,” Ignat said.

Via Boris "Colonel Cassad" Rozhin:

Brief information summary on the situation on the Left Bank of the Dnieper from @Dnepro_Rub

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy has not taken any active actions. Efforts were concentrated on the transfer of personnel, but the routes of the boats were exposed, and therefore the transfer of troops became less intense: over the past 24 hours, 6 boats crossed the river. Due to the danger of the crossing and the situation on the Left Bank, Ukrainian Armed Forces military personnel continue to refuse to carry out combat missions. The enemy is also experiencing difficulties with evacuation; during the day, one boat evacuated (up to 6 wounded). Cases of failure of weapons and equipment have become more frequent.

Enemy losses : 46 people, 2 boats, 2 observation posts, 9 attack UAVs.

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban on Ukraine’s accession to the EU:
“There were seven preconditions, Ukraine did not fulfill three of them. Now there is no point in discussing the start of negotiations with Ukraine on joining the community.”

Washington Post:

PARIS — An unspoken, unspeakable potential endgame in the Russia-Ukraine war is suddenly being uttered out loud: Kyiv is at risk of losing — and suffering unimaginable carnage and consequences.

-In fact, Putin’s main advantage is strategic patience — the capacity to wait out what he is confident is finite Western political will and resources to sustain Ukraine, buttressed by his indifference to Russia’s staggering casualties. In the end, he believes, Ukraine will be forced to capitulate.
If he is right, the timetable of that ending would be accelerated if Congress and the E.U. fail to approve fresh support. That would leave Ukraine’s government unable to maintain basic services, and its military increasingly short of artillery ammunition, air defense capability and other equipment. Ukraine’s already badly battered front-line forces would become more brittle.

-That grim scenario would be a staggering blow to Western prestige and credibility, revealing that pledges to back Ukraine for “as long as it takes” were empty.
A failure on that scale — let alone actual defeat in Ukraine — would have much more lasting repercussions than Kyiv’s inability to break through Russian battle lines. It could raise the curtain on a new era of aggression by authoritarian states, unchecked by the world’s diminished democracies.

Zin Note: Blah blah blah, Western prestige, blah blah blah, democracy, blah blah blah authoritarianism...

Can anyone explain this "Western prestige" that I keep hearing about?

It's been reported that the X-59s want a turn.
