🇷🇺⚔️ Ukraine Battle Map Collection by Oleg Tsarov
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 18 Dec 2023 by 18:32⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, shooting battles continue in #Krynki. Due to the activity of the AFU artillery, the situation remains difficult. However, our forces are more actively engaged in the liquidation of the foothold. Ukrainian resources report that ours have pulled up armoured vehicles.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, our military continue to retake positions. The AFU are trying not to give in, using all available weapons. At night, our military is disturbed by large Baba Yaga drones. From them, the enemy drops mines on our positions. It is reported from the field that recently several militants of the AFU surrendered after ours threw them a walkie-talkie from a drone.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our army continues to attack south of #Novomikhaylovka and near #Pobeda. Having almost completed the clearing of #Maryinka's outskirts, our fighters are actively moving towards #Kurakhovo.
🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the southern #Avdeyevka flank, our units have expanded their zone of control north of #Opytnoye after severe fighting. Ours have also made advances towards #Severnoye and #Tonenkoye. There is also progress at #Vodyanoye. To the west of the village, our army is advancing north of the Novoavdeyevskoye Pond, creating additional tension for the AFU garrison in #Pervomayskoye. There is also a movement of ours westwards from the quarry near the Vinogradniki Gardening Community. On the northern flank, fighting on the ground has somewhat subsided due to difficult weather conditions for armoured vehicles. Aviation compensates, a powerful blow was inflicted on the AFU positions near #Krasnogorovka.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, southwest of the city, our army is attacking AFU positions in the direction of #Krasnoye (#Ivanovskoye). To the south, fighting continues in #Kleshcheyevka.

💥 Pink Floyd leader admits he could move to Russia 🔥
After the start of the SMO, British musician Roger Waters labeled himself as an ardent supporter of Russia: he condemned Ukraine for Nazism, called to stop provoking the Russian Federation and to stop the conflict. Of course, the musician earned himself a lot of problems in the West, but he did not stop supporting Russia.
Recently, the Western public got so hot from Waters' stance that the Ukrainian ambassador to Austria called the musician heartless and cruel, and suggested that the musician move to Russia. Waters said that he would probably do so.
📝"This is a very kind offer. Thank you very much! Of course, I could consider it more seriously than the person who described me with such epithets," the musician added.

❗️🇺🇸 Reuters: Trump will appoint loyalists to change U.S. foreign policy toward China, NATO and Ukraine
If he wins the presidential election, Donald Trump will appoint people loyal to him to key positions to change the US foreign policy towards China, NATO and Ukraine, the agency writes, citing sources.
Personnel reshuffles are expected, in particular, in the Pentagon, the State Department and the CIA.
According to the sources' assessment, Trump will cut defense aid to Europe, impose trade tariffs on NATO countries if they do not contribute 2% of their GDP each, continue to reduce economic ties with China and stop aid to Ukraine.
Donald Trump wants a radical return to isolationist policies and does not want officials to restrict him as they did in his first term, the agency writes.

🎙 Russian President Vladimir Putin’s answer to a question from the Moscow.Kremlin.Putin TV programme (December 17, 2023)
❓ Could you have been described as naive in the 2000s?
💬 Vladimir Putin: Yes, there was some naivety <…> I had the naïve idea that the whole world, and above all, the so called “civilised” world realised what had happened to Russia, that it had become a different country, that there was no longer any ideological confrontation, which meant that there were no grounds for confrontation.
If there were any negative elements in the Western nations’ policies towards Russia (among other things, their support for separatism and terrorism in Russia was apparent, I saw it as director of the Federal Security Service), I gullibly believed that this was just inertia in thinking and action: they were used to fighting the Soviet Union and kept on doing it.
<…>
Meanwhile, the reality was (I got a 100 percent confirmation of this later) that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they thought that “we just need to be patient – and we will make Russia collapse, too.”
Such a big country by European standards, with the world’s largest territory and a fairly large population … “is generally redundant.” It would be better, as Brzezinski suggested, to split it into five parts and subjugate them separately, and to use their resources, but proceeding from the premise that all of them will lack weight on their own, they will not have their own voice or the ability to defend their national interests the way the Russian state is doing now.
It was only later that I realised that.

#Opinion by Maria Zakharova
Ernst Thälmann was a German anti-fascist who led a relentless struggle against the Nazis and was purportedly executed at the direct order of Adolf Hitler.
Both Moscow and Berlin have monuments dedicated to Thälmann.
In the German capital, the monument was unveiled on April 15, 1986, in the Prenzlauer Berg district to commemorate Ernst Thälmann’s 100th birthday.
History repeats itself: Thälmann faced a second execution, even if this time it came in the form of threats against his monument. However, the extent of blasphemy and sacrilege this time has surpassed what happened during the Third Reich.
This person sacrificed his life to fighting lawlessness and lies and combatting Nazism. Can you imagine that they now want to melt his monument, sell the scrap metal and donate the proceeds to …. the Nazis in Kiev?
Ernst Thälmann’s execution was on the agenda of an August 14, 1944, meeting between Hitler and Himmler. This is when Hitler personally ordered that Thälmann be executed. “Execute Thälmann” was his personal resolution. Three days later, Ernst Thälmann was shot dead in Buchenwald. What did the German propaganda do? One month later, on September 14, 1944, the state-run German News Bureau reported that Buchenwald was hit by multiple bombs during an Allied bombardment, resulting in the death of Ernst Thälmann, among others.
History repeats itself, as I have already said. The staged Bucha incident included even that side of the story, with present-day Nazis from the Kiev regime discovering the bodies of “civilians who were allegedly murdered by the Russian military” on the city streets.
But what about Moscow? Here, the monument to Thälmann, a German, has stood near Aeroport metro station for 40 years now, designed by sculptors Vladimir and Valentin Artamonov. Times may change but we still want to remember Thälmann as a man who fought against Nazism and was one of the first to recognise its diabolical nature.
I do not recall any staff members from the German Embassy laying flowers at this monument. Correct me if I am wrong, but have they done anything to take care for this monument? After all, this monument belongs to the history of the German nation, celebrating one of the most glorious and heroic episodes in the country’s past.
One more thing. How many times have we heard about nations searching for a new identity? Progressives want to ride this wave in order to justify the demolition of old monuments for the sake of installing new ones.
A monument to Ivan Chernyakhovsky, a Soviet general and Great Patriotic War hero, was recently unveiled near the Ernst Thälmann monument in Moscow. They stand just 400 or 500 metres apart. These two monuments are so close to each other, with one commemorating an outstanding German and the other honouring a person who fought against the Nazi invaders. The idea of demolishing one monument to replace it with another one has never crossed anyone’s mind.
Officials in Berlin should sound all the alarms. If this new ethic leads to the removal of a monument to a person who fought against the Nazis, in five to ten years we may see monuments to Hitler and other Nazis popping up in Germany.
