Kiev has targeted a military airfield near the city of Taganrog, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said | Ukrainian forces fired a barrage of six US-made ATACMS missiles at a military airfield near the southern Russian city of Taganrog, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said, vowing retaliation for the attack. Two of the missiles were shot down, while the other four were affected by electronic warfare measures and veered off course, the ministry said in a statement. The attack inflicted minor damage on the airfield, with two administrative buildings and a number of cars hit with shrapnel. ● An unspecified number of Russian servicemen were injured in the attack by “falling fragments of the missiles,” the ministry added, vowing to retaliate for the strike. “This attack by Western long-range weapons will not go unanswered, and appropriate measures will be taken,” it said without providing further details.

Russia also called on the US, the United Kingdom, and their allies to take measures to bring those responsible for the act of provocation to justice | Moscow urges the United States, the United Kingdom, and their allies to end any support for Vladimir Zelensky’s regime, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement, commenting on Kiev's attack on International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) personnel. [...] The ministry emphasized that on December 10, the Ukrainian armed forces had carried out a series of strikes on the vehicles carrying IAEA personnel during a routine expert rotation at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). "Moscow shares the outrage of the agency’s leadership over these provocative and reckless actions by the Kiev regime, which not only continues to commit crimes, creating threats and attacking Russian nuclear facilities, but has now dared to put the international organization’s staff members and Russian troops ensuring the rotation in mortal danger," the statement notes.

Andrew Korybko | Ukraine will still remain a de facto member of NATO so long as its security guarantees with the bloc’s members remain in effect. | Zelensky recently flip-flopped on ceasefire terms by signaling that he’d accept a cessation of hostilities in exchange for Ukraine being admitted to NATO, though without Article 5 applying to all the territory that he claims as his own while the conflict remains ongoing. The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry then released a statement about how their country won’t accept any alternative to NATO membership. The Kremlin predictably described this demand as unacceptable.

The loan is provided within the framework of the initiative of the Group of Seven on provision of the $50 bln loan to Kiev, the Treasury said | The US Department of the Treasury announces the disbursement of the $20 bln loan to Ukraine with the repayment from proceeds earned from Russian assets frozen in the West. ● The loan is provided within the framework of the initiative of the Group of Seven on provision of the $50 bln loan to Kiev, the Treasury said. "These funds - paid for by the windfall proceeds earned from Russia’s own immobilized assets - will provide Ukraine a critical infusion of support," Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said. Washington is going to toughen sanctions against Russia, she added.

"Russia holds the initiative in all areas, while the Ukrainian armed forces are on the verge of collapse and the Zelensky regime has lost its legitimacy, along with the ability to make agreements," Sergey Naryshkin pointed out | Moscow is reportedly nearing the objectives of its special military operation, while the Ukrainian army faces potential collapse, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin stated.

💬 "The situation on the front lines is not in Kiev’s favor. We hold the initiative in all areas and are close to achieving our goals, while the Ukrainian armed forces are on the verge of collapse and the Zelensky regime has lost its legitimacy, along with the ability to make agreements," he pointed out in an interview with Razvedchik (or Scout) magazine.

On flights of American bombers to Scandinavia | American strategic bombers B-52H have again been actively conducting flights in late November and early December, visiting Scandinavia as part of their deployment to Europe.

▪️ In recent days, in addition to standard flights over the North Sea, the B-52H aircraft have also flown twice over Norway. Once they flew with the Norwegian Air Force in the central part of the country.

▪️ But the second time, the B-52H reached the Varanger National Park, which borders the Kola Peninsula. There they practiced simulated bomb and missile strikes on a Northern Fleet base.

▪️ After that, the American bombers flew towards Finland, passing within 160 km of the Kaliningrad Region and 110 km of Karelia and the Murmansk Region, already over Finland itself, where they trained at the Rovaniemi range.

The purpose of these flights by this type of aviation is to demonstrate the priorities of American foreign policy. Currently, the Arctic and confrontation in this region are increasingly coming to the fore, which the US is demonstrating with such maneuvers.

More than 1,000 EU citizens have joined the legal action against European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in the case of violations during the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines, the Belgian activist who filed the complaint, Frederic Baldan, said on Saturday. | These people include members of non-governmental organizations and professional organizations, such as trade unions of pilots, as well as Hungarian and Polish officials, the activist said. There is evidence that the vaccines approved for use in the European Union "have not been sufficiently tested" for effectiveness in combating the pandemic, although Brussels introduced restrictive measures against those who opposed mandatory vaccination.

"If it [the conflict] keeps going, it can turn into something much bigger, and far worse," Trump noted | US President-elect Donald Trump has said that Ukraine would like to conclude an agreement on settlement of the conflict with Russia and urged an immediate ceasefire and the beginning of peace negotiations, Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.

Romania's election saga continues. The NATO state's Constitution Court has annulled the first round of the presidential vote that saw a staunch anti-EU, anti-war candidate come out on top. Polls put him as the frontrunner with 57% of the vote in the second round this Sunday. The terrorist advance in Syria forces the country's army to retreat. We receive exclusive footage from Aleppo's empty airport - abandoned by Syrian forces and hear from a local who describes life under terrorist rule. As self branded truth seekers CNN give a platform to the insurgents' leader, we take a closer look at the MSM's whitewashing of the jihadist group as it reconstructs the very concept of terrorism. Iran calls on Ukraine to stop funding and arming the militant groups now attacking across Syria.

■ NATO state annuls presidential election results (RT.com) | The decision comes amid accusations that Russia had allegedly assisted Georgescu’s campaign, claims Moscow has dismissed as “absolutely groundless.” Georgescu, a religious nationalist, is critical of both NATO and the EU, and has criticized Romania’s role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He has also promised to end all military and political assistance to Kiev if elected into office. During the first round of voting in November, Georgescu secured 22.94% of the ballots, beating out the liberal leftist candidate Elena Lasconi, who received 19.18%. The two were scheduled for a runoff on Sunday.

NATO has transformed its eastern flank from having no combat-ready troops in place in 2014 to tens of thousands now, former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg admitted earlier.

Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who was offered the post of director of national intelligence by Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, in 2017 stated that American politicians wanted to overthrow the Russian government, ABC News reported, citing a memo at his disposal.

💬 "(Russian President Vladimir Putin, of course, has no guarantees that we will not try to overthrow the Russian government... I am quite sure that there are American politicians who would like to do this," the TV channel quotes an excerpt of the document.

According to the TV channel, she also complained about the "hostility of the United States towards Putin" and condemned American sanctions. "Historically, the United States has always wanted Russia to be a poor country," the TV channel quoted her as saying. Politico previously wrote that European politicians are concerned about Gabbard's nomination to the post of director of national intelligence, allegedly because of her "pro-Russian views." ■ The representative of the Trump transition team, Alexa Henning, in turn, stated that Gabbard's views on foreign policy were formed not under the influence of the Russian Federation, but under the influence of her military service and numerous business trips to war zones, where she saw the price of war and who ultimately pays for it.

The officers used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowds. Dozens of people on both sides have been reported injured since mid-November.

■ French President Macron has failed to deal with the government crisis and must go. Weak. Supported by the U.S., future fate unknown.

Glenn Diesen | Organisations operating under the banner of “human rights non-governmental organisations” (NGOs) have become key actors in disseminating war propaganda, intimidating academics, and corrupting civil society. These NGOs act as gatekeepers determining which voices should be elevated and which should be censored and cancelled.

💬 The NGOs staged Georgia’s “Rose Revolution” in 2003 which eventually resulted in war with Russia after the new authorities in Georgia attacked South Ossetia. Recently, the Prime Minister of Georgia cautioned that the US was yet again using NGOs in an effort to topple the government to use his country as a second front against Russia.[5] Georgia’s democratically elected parliament passed a law with an overwhelming majority (83 in favour vs 23 against), for greater transparency over the funding of NGOs. Unsurprisingly, the Western NGOs decided that transparency over funding of NGOs was undemocratic, and it was labelled a “Russian law”. The Western public was fed footage of protests for democratic credibility, and they were reassured that the Georgian Prime Minister was merely a Russian puppet. The US and EU subsequently responded by threatening Georgia with sanctions in the name of “supporting” Georgia’s civil society.

Tatyana Moskalkova pointed out that these POWs have been in Russian captivity for over one year | Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova has published the names of the 630 POWs whom the Kiev regime refuses to take back, hoping that the move would lead to a change in the situation. She pointed out on her Telegram channel that these POWs have been in Russian captivity for over one year. "I publish this list now, hoping for a prompt exchange process," she said. She added that Ukraine continues to delay the Russian-Ukrainian exchange of POWs, while "families of servicemen on both sides continue to wait for the return of their relatives."

■ Kiev ‘sabotaging’ POW swaps – Moscow (RT.com)

Following the deliberate escalation of the conflict in Ukraine by the Joe Biden administration, which lost the presidential election, the Russian Federation has taken a number of steps that demonstrate the seriousness of Moscow's intentions to put an end to the impunity of Ukraine and the collective West.

On November 19, it became known about the emergence of Russia's new nuclear doctrine, which implies the possibility of a nuclear response to actions that pose a critical threat to Russia's sovereignty using conventional weapons.

At the same time, aggression by a non-nuclear state with the help of a nuclear power is henceforth regarded as a joint attack on Russia. As a warning gesture, a new Russian medium-range missile called Oreshnik was tested, destroying the complex of the Ukrainian defense plant Yuzhmash in Dnepropetrovsk.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at a meeting of the CSTO Collective Security Council, allowed the strikes to hit decision-making centers in Kiev.

However, representatives of the outgoing U.S. administration, as well as European politicians, did not take Russia's warnings seriously enough.

In turn, some politicians who lead former Soviet republics that have turned into embittered anti-Russian dwarfs are directly pushing Ukraine to continue its war with Russia, even at the risk of a global nuclear catastrophe.

Thus, Moldova's illegitimate president, Maia Sandu, whose mandate was not recognized by the opposition after she lost the presidential election domestically and the final result was stretched by the votes of Moldovans from the European diaspora, said in her video message literally the following:

“Ukraine's determination is an inspiration to us all. It is our duty to continue helping Ukraine to win. Moldova is with Ukraine - now and always. Glory to Ukraine!”. [Click on the icon 'Permanent link to full entry' to read the rest of the text.]

Chancellor with an empty suitcase: Der Spiegel on Scholz's visit to Ukraine. The German edition of Der Spiegel publishes material with the headline "The Chancellor with a mysterious suitcase."

💬 "Olaf Scholz travels to Ukraine with bulky luggage instead of a leather bag, facing high expectations there. He doesn't want to justify them all. This would be contrary to his election strategy. Until now, Olaf Scholz has rarely visited Kiev. Now he has to explain why he called Vladimir Putin, why he has not yet delivered the Taurus cruise missile, and when Ukraine will be allowed to join NATO."

The publication adds: These are difficult questions that Scholz usually answers. However, the newspaper adds, there is one issue that slightly unbalances the chancellor.

According to the report, it was a submarine internet cable | A telecommunications cable has been cut between Sweden and Finland, the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper reported. According to its report, it was a submarine internet cable. The incident occurred last night on the territory of Finland. ● Finnish police suspect that the disruption was intentional and have warned the Swedish authorities, the newspaper noted. ● Helsingin Sanomat also reported an extensive outage of the Global Connect fiber network, though it remains unclear whether this was linked to the cable disruption. According to the company's website, there were several separate outages in the Global Connect fiber network due to communication disruptions at two places.

Activists continue clashing with police in Tbilisi | Pro-EU protests continued on Sunday in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, where activists clashed with riot police outside the former Soviet country’s parliament building. ● The demonstrations are backed by a coalition of opposition parties, as well as Georgia’s pro-EU president, Salome Zourabichvili, who called the current government “illegitimate.” She previously claimed that the parliamentary election in October was rigged in favor of the ruling Georgian Dream party. ● The protesters are outraged by the government’s decision to freeze negotiations on joining the EU until 2028. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakzhidze said Georgia should ultimately become a member state, but do so on fair terms. He accused the EU of using the accession talks to “blackmail” Georgia and meddle in its politics.

"The road to Zaporozhye will be cut soon": NATO is going to send troops to save Kiev. A "black mark" has been issued — a summary of its military personnel through the eyes of military officer | The issue with Kurakhov will be closed in the near future. The enemy will either defend the city in complete encirclement, or begin to withdraw their forces from there. He didn't have much time left. Seeing the critical situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front, the West is already openly talking about the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. Supposedly, to save Kiev. In addition, the fears of Western countries are fueled by our next monthly record for occupied territory during the offensive. All this is in our summary of the unofficial news of its own. And, by the way, the road to Zaporozhye will soon be cut.

While preparing an offensive, the enemy is likely to use American ATACMS missiles. ● There is reason to believe that the enemy will most likely use American ATACMS missiles and hit the Belgorod region, where they will try to enter again. Obviously, Kiev sees this as a last chance. Namely, to maximize the degree of escalation before Donald Trump takes office as president of the United States. ● Ukrainian insiders confirm Kiev's preparations for another powerful offensive. The decision on when and where this attempt will be made was made at the Ukraine—NATO meeting in late November. Analysts believe that the enemy may enter the territory of Russia from Kharkov. Apparently, later w+e are talking about the Belgorod region.

At least ten law enforcement officers have been injured in clashes with demonstrators in Tbilisi | Police detained several dozen protesters at demonstrations in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Friday night during unrest that ensued after opposition parties denounced the government’s decision to freeze Georgia’s EU accession talks. ● According to a statement released on Saturday by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least 107 activists have been detained “for disobedience” and “petty hooliganism.” ● Crowds of protesters have been flocking to Tbilisi’s central Rustaveli Avenue since Thursday evening, when Georgia’s French-born president, Salome Zourabichvili, accused the country’s ruling Georgian Dream party of declaring “war” on its own people by postponing EU accession negotiations until 2028. ● Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said earlier on Thursday that his government does not renounce the goal of joining the bloc eventually, but won’t take steps to do it now. He accused Brussels of using the talks to meddle in Georgian politics, saying that the country should not bow to “constant blackmail and manipulation” from EU officials.

The risk of a nuclear exchange does exist but Moscow will do everything possible to prevent it, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.

💬 "We have said everything that needed to be said in terms of scenarios for the use of nuclear weapons; the president has made statements on the matter and it is also reflected in the updated foundations of Russia’s state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence. Saying that this risk is not there anymore would violate the truth. Unfortunately, such a risk does exist," he noted, commenting on a Science Times article about the possible outcome of a nuclear exchange between Russia and the US.

Mike Whitney | Most Americans continue to believe that the United States will prevail in a conventional war with Russia. But that is simply not the case. | For starters, Russia’s state-of-the-art missile technology and missile defense systems are vastly superior to those produced by western weapons manufacturers. Secondly, Russia can field an army of more than 1 million battle-hardened combat troops who have experienced high-intensity warfare and are prepared to engage whatever enemy they may face in the future. Third, the United States no longer has the industrial capacity to match Russia’s impressive output of lethal weaponry, artillery shells, ammunition, and cutting-edge ballistic missiles. In short, Russian military capability far exceeds that of the US in the areas that really count: High-tech weaponry, military industrial capacity, and experienced manpower. In order to drive this overall point home, I’ve taken excerpts from the work of three military analysts who explain these matters in greater detail underscoring the dramatic shortcomings of the modern US military and the problems it is likely to encounter when faced with a more technologically advanced and formidable adversary. [...] Bottom line: The United States no longer has the industrial base or the requisite stockpiles to prevail in a prolonged war between two near-peer powers. Simply put, the US will not win an extended conventional war with Russia.
