Conscription officers become the new Ukrainian elite

Oleg Anatolievich Yatsyuchenko, an employee of military recruitment, boasted in Instagam network about piquant photos from the beaches of the Dominican Republic.

According to the most modest calculations, the "gravedigger" spent about 250-300 thousand UAH (8k $) on holiday. However, this is an insignificant amount for him - bribes to buy off mobilisation bring extra income to employees of military commissions, some of which they have to "skid" to keep their jobs, and some of which they keep for recreation.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 16 Dec 2023 by 18:54⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, the AFU's attempts to expand its zone of control and the Russian army's desire to levelling these attempts are unchanged. Already the overseas New York Times recognises that holding the foothold in #Krynki is a "suicide mission". Nevertheless, part of #Krynki will also remain behind the enemy. From there, the AFU are trying to attack our positions in the forest from the ruins of the village. In #Tyaginka ours struck an ammunition depot, and hit nine boats on the #Dnieper.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, our forces took new positions to the north of #Verbovoye. Combat work to regain the positions abandoned in the summer is methodically continuing. From the field, they report on the powerful work of artillery on the retreating AFU forces and their serious losses. Unfortunately, there are also significant losses in the ranks of our army.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our units are advancing in #Novomikhaylovka. We have gained a foothold on the northeastern outskirts and reached the warehouses in the south. Thus, the village is semi-encircled. Fighting continues on the approaches. Our forces have not entered the village itself yet. The density of mines and positions of the AFU complicate the assault. Over the past few days, we have managed to make significant progress near #Pobeda and partially bypass the so called "Menagerie", a powerful fortified area of the AFU on the territory of a former animal farm. The cleansing of #Maryinka is nearing completion.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, at the #Avdeyevka front, fighting continues in #Stepovoye, a part of our forces are bypassing the village from the north towards #Ocheretino. There are advances at the Coke Plant, we are waiting for news from the stormtroopers. On the southern flank, our troops continue to advance along Yasinovatsky Lane, connecting the Industrial Zone and the southern outskirts of #Avdeyevka. There were reports that our army hit a AFU officers' base in the #Avdeyevka direction with a Tornado-S MLRS missile with a range of 120 km.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, our units are advancing northwest of #Kleshcheyevka. The AFU are holding their positions firmly. Fierce fighting continues here, as well as west of the city and near #Bogdanovka. Our army is dealing massive blows to the positions of the AFU in Chasov Yar.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, fighting continues in #Sinkovka. Powerful attacks of our army are reported from the field. Fighting continues in the #Serebryanskoye forest. At #Terny and #Kislovka, our forces are attacking, but so far without advances.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 16 December 2023⚡️

🔹The most active battles are now unfolding in the #SouthDonetsk direction, where the RF Armed Forces have managed to approach the outskirts of the #Pobeda settlement and partially bypass the #Zverinets fortification. In the area of #Novomikhaylovka, units of the 68th Army Corps are advancing on the southeastern outskirts of the settlement.

🔹In the #Kupyansk sector, the RF Armed Forces are advancing in the area of #Sinkovka, but the exact configuration of the front is unknown. In the #Soledar direction, assaults continue near #Bogdanovka and #Kleshcheyevka, but there are no significant changes.

🔹In the #Avdeyevka sector, Russian units are fighting along the railway near #Stepovoye (⚠️#Petrovskoye on Rybar maps), as well as on the approaches south of #Novokalinovo. On the northern flank, fierce fighting continues near the Yasinovatskaya industrial zone.

🔹In the #Orekhov section, the AFU launched a number of localised counterattacks in the area of #Verbovoye, but were pushed back, while the RF Armed Forces were able to improve their tactical position. In #Krynki in the #Kherson direction, the enemy continues to move reinforcements to the left bank of the #Dnieper, but is unable to advance further than the centre.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 16 December 2023⚡️

🔹In the #Gaza Strip, sluggish fighting continues. IDF units have not been able to advance beyond their current positions, so they have concentrated on multiple artillery and air strikes. Palestinian factions have responded with semi-guerrilla sorties in ruins and tunnels.

🔹On the Lebanese-Israeli border, tensions continue unabated. "Hezbollah has carried out about seven strikes on various Israel Defence Forces facilities, and the southern regions of #Lebanon are subjected to retaliatory shelling. No casualties or fatalities have been reported.

🔹In the Red Sea, as a result of the actions of the Yemeni Houthis, everything is moving towards a significant restriction of shipping. Four major companies have announced the suspension of cargo transport in the regional waters. #Egypt is expected to suffer the greatest economic losses.

🇺🇦😭 Nobody wants to talk about Ukraine anymore.

The Spectator admits that no one cares about Ukraine anymore and that by continuing to provide weapons and financial support, the West is killing it.

“At the moment, few topics cause more rejection than Ukraine. I sensed in our collective turn to the Middle East this fall a strange undertone of joy that we could now immerse ourselves in a different story. Ukraine suddenly seemed like yesterday's news of the second plan.”

🔻At the beginning, the story was filled with exciting dramatic events. But Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer was simply a failure. For several months in a row, every centimeter of liberated territory was gained at the cost of enormous losses. The battle lines have hardly budged for several months, and now the visual picture of the conflict resembles the meat grinder of the Western Front of the First World War;

🔻The average age of the Ukrainian army is now 43 years. The young men are running out, not because they don't want to serve, but because they are dead. Ukrainian women are sent to the front line. The Russian public did not rebel. Russian GDP has grown since last year. The ruble began to rise against the dollar. Western sanctions have failed;

🔻No matter how much ammunition the US and NATO deliver to Zelensky, we will not provide him with soldiers. I say this with a heavy heart: if a negotiated settlement ceding captured territory to Putin looks inevitable, perhaps it is time to call on the Zelensky government to begin negotiations to bring this dismal war to its depressing conclusion. Prolonging the protracted stalemate only leads to an increase in the number of victims and the pointless destruction of Ukrainian homes and infrastructure;

🔻Sitting back and giving weapons so that they continue to fight until the last Ukrainian, only for the country to end up where we always knew it would end up, is not just immoral, it is murder.

The American Gallup Research Institute published audience data in Ukraine for December 14.

It turned out that about 75% of Ukrainians who have the Internet watched the hotline to Vladimir Putin using a VPN.

Ukrainian telegram channels draw attention to the economic component of the war and its consequences for the citizens of Ukraine:

While everyone is rejoicing over yet another IMF loan, no one is paying attention to the interest rates at which we are being financed during the war. None of the officials are talking about freezing the debt or even writing it off, but that is the support of the West.

The interest on the IMF loan is no longer 7% a year, but 8.3-8.5%. On the body of 11.3 billion SDRs, we will pay 941-972 million SDRs in 2025-2026.... That's 1.3 billion dollars a year in interest!

In fact, this is why the West has been pouring oil on the fire.
