  1. Video of the assassination Video of the liquidation of the Lieutenant General of the Russian Armed Forces Igor Kirillov and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov (apparently a Major) as a result of an explosion of a planted IED in Moscow. One of the best and most successful operations of this kind in the entire war.
  2. Even after years of war, when we thought the Russians could not get any more cynical, we see something even worse. Russia not only sends the North Korean troops to storm Ukrainian positions, but also tries to conceal losses of these people. They tried to hide the presence of North Korean soldiers. It was prohibited to show their faces during training. The Russians attempted to erase any video evidence of their presence. And now, after first combats with our warriors, Russians are trying… to literally burn the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in battle. This is a demonstration of disrespect, which is currently prevalent in Russia, a disrespect to everything human. There is not a single reason for North Koreans to fight and die for Putin. And even after they do, Russia has only humiliation for them. This madness must be stopped—stoped by a reliable and durable peace, as well as Russia’s accountability for this cynical war.
  3. At the start of December, Ukraine's 13th National Guard Brigade, "Khartia," carried out its first fully robotic operation in the Kharkiv sector, employing an unprecedented number of robotic and unmanned systems. The operation, designed to set conditions for further advancements, utilized ground-based robots (including mining, demining, and kamikaze drones, as well as mobile turrets) and various UAVs (heavy bombers, observation drones, and FPVs). Some interesting info here, including that we are still providing intel on Russian locations. Continued on the next post
  4. Zelenskyy is backing out of signing a deal with the US on REEs. Smart move to use this as part of a deal with Trump to show the Ukrainians are not just takers and to give Trump an early win
  5. Russian Telegram channels publish news that a senior official responsible for developing missiles and drones used to attack Ukraine was allegedly shot dead in Moscow. Mikhail Shatsky was a deputy director of Russia's Mars design bureau and was involved in modernizing guided missiles from Kh-59 to Kh-69 and developing new drones. Russian journalist Aleksandr Nevzorov claims Ukraine's military intelligence conducted the operation and an assassinator fled the crime scene.
  6. Ruble back on track to failure 1 month: 1 Day:
  7. If you want Ukraine specific, the daily podcast "Ukraine the Latest" by the Telegraph (UK) is excellent.
  8. Lots of chatter on this but hard to confirm The White Helmets have announced the deployment of 5 Emergency Teams specializing in Search-and-Rescue, Wall-Breaching, and Iron Door-Opening as well as Trained Dog Units and Medical Responders to Sednaya Military Prison near the Syrian Capital of Damascus. As those there are still struggling to reach the Lower Levels of the Red Building, where upwards of 10,000 Prisoners are still believed to be trapped in Underground Cells, some of which are claimed to be over 100ft from the Surface. Rescuers at the Site can see the Prisoners on Security Cameras, but cannot reach them; with many of them likely having no clue about the Revolution or the ongoing Rescue Attempts.
  9. HTS Leader: Hezbollah is next Leader of HTS and presumptive interim leader of Syria, Abu Mohammad al-Jolani: "We are open to friendship with everyone in the region, including Israel. We have no enemies except the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran. What Israel did against Hezbollah in Lebanon helped us a lot. Now we will take care of the rest."
  10. Interesting post worth noting. It's all over the place as usual, and he certainly didn't write it, but perhaps he is starting to see the true weakness behind Putin. And here's Zelenskyy Yesterday, I visited President @EmmanuelMacron at the Élysée Palace and had a good meeting with President @realDonaldTrump. We discussed important issues on the battlefield and in the global situation, from our frontlines to North Korea. I stated that we need a just and enduring peace—one that the Russians will not be able to destroy in a few years, as they have done repeatedly in the past. This is clear not only for our country and region. We see how Russia is now trying to subjugate Georgia after several wars against that country. Russia still does not want to ease its grip on Moldova. Now the Russians are retreating from Syria, but that does not mean they will not try to sow death there again. Russian military presence is also active in Africa, with the sole purpose of destabilization. Therefore, when we talk about effective peace with Russia, we must first and foremost talk about effective guarantees for peace. Ukrainians want peace more than anyone else. Russia brought war to our land, and it is Russia that most seeks to disrupt the possibility of peace. Updated data on Russian losses show over 750,000 casualties, including 198,000 killed and more than 550,000 wounded. Our people are defending their homes at the cost of their lives, and every life—of our soldiers and our civilians—is precious to us. Since the start of the full-scale war, Ukraine has lost 43,000 soldiers killed in action on the battlefield. There have been 370,000 cases of medical assistance for the wounded. It also needs to be mentioned that in our army approximately half of the soldiers wounded in action are later returning to the battlefield, and that our data also includes light or repeat injuries. One of the key distinctions between the Russian army and Ukraine’s Defense Forces is the level of frontline medicine, which is significantly higher in our forces. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports its development, saves our wounded in action, and facilitates their rehabilitation. Since September this year, Russia has been losing troops on the battlefield at a ratio of 5-to-1, or even 6-to-1, compared to us. They want to seize more land before global pressure on them becomes unbearable. Additionally, we must not forget our people in Russian captivity—thousands of both military personnel and civilians, some of whom have been held since 2014, when the occupation began. Since February 24, 2022, we have already managed to bring 3,935 of our people home—3,767 soldiers and 168 civilians. But we must bring everyone back, and much work remains to be done. We must also establish the truth about all our people who are missing. We must also remember the Ukrainian children deported by Russia. Russians themselves admit that these abducted children number in the hundreds of thousands, dispersed across their territory. Returning them is the most challenging task. On the occupied territories of Ukraine, at least several million people remain. This is the reality of this war. It cannot simply end with a piece of paper and a few signatures. A ceasefire without guarantees can be reignited at any moment, as Putin has already done before. To ensure that Ukrainians no longer suffer losses, we must guarantee the reliability of peace and not turn a blind eye to occupation. We know Putin very well—he is addicted to war. He began his career with a brutal war against Chechnya and has been constantly fueling other wars. He can only be stopped by strength—the strength of world leaders who can become leaders of peace. We count on America and the entire world to help stop Putin. The only things he fears are America and global unity. It is precisely such peace through strength that we discuss with all our partners, as well as the steps and guarantees needed for the people and the state attacked by Russia. War cannot be endless—only peace must be permanent and reliable.
  11. Assad's regime loses major city of Daraa in southwestern Syria According to local media reports, government forces surrendered the city without a fight as part of an agreement ensuring the safe withdrawal of Assad's army toward Damascus. Daraa is the administrative center of the province of the same name. Yesterday, Syrian rebels also entered the city of As-Suwayda, the administrative center of the neighboring province.
