Note that, according to many sources, this figure was initially correct but some people(corpses) were still under the rubble, so the final report will be submitted on or before January 6.

Turkey formally withdraws from the Istanbul Convention - Supreme Administrative Court upholds the decision.

The Supreme Administrative Court upheld and approved Turkey's withdrawal from the Istanbul Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women. The decision to withdraw from the international agreement was made by the President of Turkey in March 2021, since the convention contradicts the traditional foundations of the country.

"The State Council for Administrative Appeals (DDK) recognized the decision to withdraw from the Istanbul Convention as being in accordance with the law." By a majority vote of the council, a decision was made to "reject" the objections that withdrawing from the convention is against the law ... "Turkey has officially withdrawn from the Istanbul Convention," the Turkish Haberturk TV channel reported.

⚡️MI6 transmitted intelligence to the Office of the President of Ukraine and the General Staff that the Kremlin had ordered the Russian General Staff to prepare a series of strikes against critical infrastructure and civilian objects in Kyiv. The strike on Makiivka provoked a strong reaction in Russian society, which forces the Kremlin to reflect on the situation and raise the stakes in the war in Ukraine, as was the case with the Crimean bridge in the fall.

Enormous explosion in Druzhkovka tonight caught live on a French TV channel.

Most likely, a successful missile strike was delivered at the temporary location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Druzhkovka.

Now massive missile strikes in parts of Donetsk Oblast controlled by the AFU (Kramatorsk, Sloviansk, Druzhkovka, and other populated areas) signal that the Russians are hitting the AFU's near rear, preventing them from accumulating reserves to replenish their ranks in the Bakhmut meat grinder and in general in the Seversk-Soldar-Bakhmut sections.
The fall of these three towns would be a major media blow, as it would be the first defeat for the AFU in the new year and after a series of victories. Many point out that this could provoke a negative moral effect, especially against the backdrop of socio-economic problems inside the country.

For the Ukrainian president's office , it is necessary to retain control over these cities "by the blood on its nose" and keep the winning trend in general.

Perhaps this is against my better judgment, but I've decided to say something in response to some recent criticism that we have received here at Slavyangrad from somebody who shall remain nameless. Nothing that I'm about to say is representative of the opinions of the team nor of Gleb, etc. This is purely my opinion.

My personal goal here is to provide news and information as well as to learn along with everyone else. I don't pretend to have some special knowledge or insight into things. I am humbled that people appreciate what I've had to say. Everything that I post is my honest opinion/analysis, and I'm not here to be a "Kremlin shill," which is a laughable accusation. I don't care about promoting myself or hitting higher subscription numbers for the sake of it either.

There's plenty of telegram for everybody. Somebody following us can follow many other channels to get all perspectives, as this is not a zero-sum game. If you do not value what we provide, you're free not to follow us, and frankly, time spent reading what we post then criticizing us and making strange accusations speculating on our motivations is time you aren't spending on spreading your gospel.

As far as raising money for soldiers and providing aid to Donetsk and Russia is concerned, this is something that I'd love to be a part of. However, there are a lot of issues with doing something like that. It requires infrastructure to collect, track, and distribute donations/aid. I know of other channels that do this, and much of the time, they just get accused of grifting. Things may change in the future, but for now, I'd recommend finding a reputable organization that collects money for the war effort/the Donbass/families of the mobilized, and just give your money to them. Again, speaking for myself, I dont see how personally collecting donations from our subscribers myself would accomplish anything greater than what can be achieved by donating to existing groups, so for now, just give them your money if you want to help any of the above, and I'll be doing the same with my own money.

Thank you! I hope we can continue fighting the good fight together. We already have an enemy to defeat! Let's focus on them!

⚡️A French mercenary, Maxim Bronchain, who fought for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and lost his leg in the battles in Ukraine, complained that he was left without help from the French Embassy in Kiev.

⚡️A 32-year-old  volunteer went to Ukraine. As a result of the mine explosion, he lost his left leg, and is currently undergoing treatment in Strasbourg. According to the Frenchman, the embassy of his country did not provide him with any support after he was seriously injured. "France sends Ukraine a lot of equipment and money, but does not help French citizens who really need help."

Welcome to reality.
