I think; now, there is not a single part of the front from which they didn't send men to Artemovsk.

Washington to buy tanks for Kiev from Morocco

The United States and the Netherlands intend to buy dozens of T-72B tanks from Morocco for their further transfer to Kiev. Information about this has appeared in the Western media.

According to European publications, Morocco has already handed over several tanks, which are being modernized in the Czech Republic. It is reported that the United States and the Netherlands are planning to buy 90 T-72Bs for $95 million. More than 20 tanks may be shipped to the AFU by the end of the year. Rabat has not yet confirmed the transfer of the equipment, but the Czech Defence Ministry has already announced the sale.

With its decision, Morocco actually broke its neutrality with regard to the Ukrainian conflict. It became the first African country to transfer weapons to the Kiev regime. This step may indicate the complete depletion of Soviet tanks in the arsenals of NATO states and their closest allies.

🤯 Kosovo says the Serbian side attacked Zubin Potok

❗️The Albanians point out that the Serbs allegedly attacked the NATO peacekeeping mission.

🤡 The insurgents are overdoing it with misinformation here. If that were the case, the Western media would be already screaming in unison about "Serbian aggression."

While Zelensky was praising the US for another $45bn financial aid package, The New York Times rushed to release details of that aid.

Of the $45 billion in US aid to Ukraine: half of the $4.92 billion in humanitarian aid will go to the US Department of Health to help Ukrainian refugees; $11.88 billion will be used to replace the weapons already transferred to Ukraine in the US arsenals, and $7 billion will go to the US European Forces Command. Another $6 million will go to the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense, who will be required by law to report to Congress on the use of the money. In other words, Ukraine will receive only about 52% of the initial amount.
Well, citizens of "Ukraine" keep jumping and celebrating another victory over "unwashed orcs" and mingling with the USA, who, remember, will not need you after Russia's victory.
p.s. Fortunately, Russia does not have such close friends who take away almost 50% of the aid they themselves gave

I wrote once but I will repeat it. This is the biggest money laundering scheme on the planet.

The withdrawal from Kherson turns out to be a brilliant move by Russia. It became a race to Bakhmut for both sides. The Russians destroyed a rail line, leaving one open closest to Russian lines and within Artillery range. Now the Ukranian Army shows up to Bakhmut in a manageable flow to be destroyed.

Part 1
Golden Domes - will Israel hand over its air defense system to Ukraine

Since the beginning of the conflict, Kiev's real blue dream has been air defense, especially Israel's famous Iron Dome system, which has been on constant duty in the homeland for more than a decade. Kiev has repeatedly appealed to Tel Aviv with demands to cover the territory of Ukraine with the "dome" and has so far been refused. Can the situation change?

The comments about the delivery of the Israeli system to Kiev have already been made public several times. In particular, Defense Minister of Israel Beni Gantz announced back in November that the country would not satisfy Ukraine's request referring to a technical impossibility of covering the air defense deficit, which in such case, Israel itself faces. A different kind of fear, according to Brigadier General Yaakov Nagel, is that the precious Iron Dome could fall into Russia's hands, and then it would be a lost cause.

Part 2

Since the beginning of the conflict, Tel Aviv has taken a very half-hearted position. On the one hand, some Israeli citizens volunteer for the Ukrainian side, not that the state restricts them in any way. On the other hand, official Israel does not want an escalation with Russia and therefore has so far refused to supply Kiev with weapons, limiting itself to certain "humanitarian shipments." This is understandable - Syria and Iran, the Palestinian crisis, and the recent elections are all on the same side. The United States, however, continues to press Tel Aviv, and Zelensky's whining is not going to stop.

If Israel does decide to supply, then there is a question of whether such actions are justified from a purely technical point of view. The Ukrainian conflict is not a showdown with poor Palestinians launching homemade rockets but a full-fledged army confrontation with a full range of equipment and ammunition. How the famous system, hitherto tested only against crumpled weapons, will perform is a big question, the answer to which may not please investors in Israel's military capabilities.

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, said in an article for Rossiyskaya Gazeta about the year's results:

◾️The decision to launch a special operation was a forced and difficult one, but it was about Russia's survival, it was impossible to delay any further;

◾️The Russian Federation will make every effort to ensure that the objectives of the special operation are achieved;

◾️Moscow is not fighting with the Ukrainian people, but with the Kiev regime, which is responsible for many lives lost, and any negotiations with it are pointless;

◾️The world will continue to teeter on the brink of World War III and nuclear catastrophe unless Russia is guaranteed security. But Moscow will do everything it can to prevent such a development;

◾️Moscow will act according to its nuclear doctrine in the event of a real threat and that is the only thing holding its enemies back right now;

◾️ Russia's geopolitical opponents no longer hide their intention to limit the development of the Russian Federation and to divide it into parts;

◾️The West lied to Russia when it pretended to want to resolve the situation in Ukraine peacefully;

◾️EU politicians gave indulgence to Ukrainian Nazis for their crimes;

◾️The Western world is gradually turning into a besieged fortress, locking itself in a cage while the rest of the world lives peacefully in freedom;

◾️Sanctions against Russia are a signal to other countries that the West cannot be dealt with;

◾️Russia must not maintain "traditional decency" and can use all means of defence in response to sanctions;

◾️Russia will do without the West until sensible politicians come to power there;

◾️Many foreign companies have been reluctant to leave Russia, and their replacement has been successful;

◾️The task of the Russian authorities is not only to protect the new regions of the country, but also to make their lives prosperous, safe and comfortable;

◾️The citizens who have emigrated from Russia may have different motives, and "God is their judge", but there should be no forgiveness for outright traitors.

Battle for the Arctic Is Underway. And the U.S has lost it.

For the past two decades, Russia has been dominating this fight for the Arctic, building up its fleet of nuclear-capable icebreakers, ships and submarines, developing more mining and oil well operations along its 15,000 miles of Arctic coastline, racing to capture control of the new “Northern Sea Route” or “Transpolar Sea Route” which could begin to open up by 2035, and courting non-Arctic nations to help fund those endeavors.

17 Arctic watchers — including Norwegian diplomats, State Department analysts and national security experts focusing on the Arctic — said they fear that the U.S. and Europe won’t be able to maintain a grip on the region’s energy resources and diplomacy as Russia places more civilian and military infrastructure across the Arctic, threatening the economic development and national security of the seven other nations whose sovereign land sits within the Arctic Circle.
