‼️🇺🇦Four Ukrainians flee to Romania to avoid mobilization.

The young men didn't want to die for Zelensky and his gang, so they decided to escape.They tried to go to Romania but to do so, they had to traverse the Carpathian Mountains. The mountains proved to be stronger than the runners: one went down, while the other three were caught by border guards and handed over to their Ukrainian colleagues.

According to border guards, such escapes happen periodically. In the autumn, ten bodies of dead Ukrainian illegal immigrants were found in the Tisza River. 

UPDATE : Romanian & Ukrainian border guards caught them.

Putin Says 4 More Nuclear-Powered Submarines to be Built Under Current Weapons Program

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that four more nuclear-powered submarines will be constructed as part of the current armament program, which will ensure the country’s security for years to come.

"This will ensure Russia’s security for decades to come," Putin said.

Russian ballistic missile submarines, which are currently under development and construction, have many unique characteristics, while new submarines and surface vessels have modern navigation, communications and sonar systems, equipped with high-precision weapons and robotic systems, the president noted.

"For example, the Generalissimus Suvorov submarine is armed with Bulava ballistic missiles, which significantly increase the capabilities of our nuclear naval forces," Putin said.

In addition, the president noted that the small rocket ship Grad Sviyazhsk is also a new generation project, specifying that ships of this class have shown high efficiency in combat missions in Syria, as well as in the course of the special military operation in Ukraine.

Sanctions Failed to Crack Russia, German Media Says

Anti-Russian sanctions aren’t having the devastating effect the West hoped they would, and haven’t served to collapse Russia’s economy, German media have reported, citing economic data for the current year and projections for 2023.

According to Deutschlandfunk, the sanctions “weapon” the West has opted for in its “economic war” against Moscow have not yielded the hoped for results, with the International Monetary Fund revising projections issued in the spring of an 8-9 percent drop in Russian GDP to a more modest contraction of 3.5 percent.

“Some economists thought the thick end would not arrive until 2023. But the forecasts for the coming year as not as gloomy as one might expect,” the outlet continued, pointing to an IMF forecast from October that the Russian economy would shrink by 2.3 percent in the coming year.

Unfortunately for the brainiacs behind anti-Russian sanctions, “all forecasts agree that the Russian economy will not be brought to its knees by sanctions in the next year, either,” Deutschlandfunk.

German media attributed Russia’s resilience to the global jump in oil and gas prices, which have allowed Moscow to make good money even off reduced export volumes of its hydrocarbons after Western countries reduced imports. On top of that, the outlet pointed out that while a handful of foreign companies left Russia this year, “most stayed,” while others sold their businesses to Russian nationals, who have continued operations.

Furthermore, in areas where Western companies or products have disappeared, Russian importers have stepped in to replace them, often via so-called parallel imports (i.e. goods imported by unlicensed distributors). “In other words, something is always missing in Russia, including on the store shelves, but usually not completely and not for long.”

A footage has emerged of the aftermath of an air strike on the Kharkov thermal power plant - the fire could not be extinguished until late in the evening 

The Russian Armed Forces' strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure today have caused serious damage to the power supply system in Kharkov and the region. A major fire broke out at the substation after the arrival, which with great effort could only be extinguished towards nightfall.

There is no exact information as to which substation was damaged, it was previously reported on the arrival at CHPP-4, now local publishers are writing about the extinguishing of the fire at CHPP-3. Earlier, the city's mayor confirmed that the Russian army was striking directly at infrastructure facilities in the same way as in all other regions of Ukraine.
