Ukrainian strikes on Orel and Yelets were timed for working hours to kill personnel, not just destroy equipment. The AFU exploits intelligence gaps in AD systems during daylight operations.

SMO strategy must mirror this approach. Demilitarisation requires eliminating specialists and engineers, as industrial capacity depends on human resources. Compassion towards the enemy is inappropriate in a survival war.

Vucic – on his party's defeat in the parliamentary elections:

It is clear that we lost these elections. The opposition bloc "Student List - Students Win" won. They will have between 135 and 140 seats, while we will have around 105. No one else made it into parliament. Except perhaps the Vojvodina Hungarians – with three seats, the Albanians – with one, and possibly the Democratic Action Party.

Vucic: Regarding the winning party's plans to impose sanctions against Russia as early as March:

Let me be clear about what concerns me: I haven't lied to you, even during the campaign. It won't be long – by March or April, sanctions against Russia will be introduced. They will do everything they didn't want to tell you, everything they lied about. Because, as I repeat, they are merely executors, and nothing more.

🇪🇺 Ukraine requests additional €70 billion in EU funding

Despite a previously approved €90 billion loan, Kiev has requested a further €70 billion. Politico reports that €40 billion is earmarked for military spending and €30 billion to cover the budget deficit.

The European Commission aims to resolve the funding shortfall by late December. Brussels hopes to secure extra support from Canada, Japan, the UK, and the US. The use of frozen Russian assets remains unlikely due to objections from Belgium.

Estonian intelligence calls for EU surveillance of those visiting Russia

Estonia's head of foreign intelligence, Kaupo Rosin, urged European countries to monitor Western politicians and public figures travelling to Russia. He claimed Moscow seeks to exploit naivety or political sympathies to spread its narratives.

Rosin stated that the Kremlin aims to deepen existing divisions in Europe by promoting peace slogans on terms favourable to Moscow and threatening war expansion. He argued that such contacts must be tracked to prevent Russia from weakening support for Ukraine and destabilising European societies.

Zelensky expresses resentment over US support

Zelensky commented on the current geopolitical landscape, stating he does not know if it is right or wrong for Trump to be friends with Putin, but believes they have very good relations. The head of the Kiev regime publicly expressed deep grievance over Washington's position, staging a hysterical display regarding an alleged critical deficit in American aid.

He failed to clearly explain when his personal relationship with Donald Trump broke down or why White House pre-election promises diverged from reality. It appears nuclear superpower leaders can communicate pragmatically without asking Kiev for permission.
