“We will be logging the forest in Magadan” ex-SBU general fears.
Due to the lack of volunteers, many assault units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are recruited from the old people who are over fifty years old. This was stated by the ex-deputy head of the SBU, SBU Major General Viktor Yagun.
“We are starting to see a swing: “Let’s save the younger generation, our gene pool, which will revive Ukraine.” This idea was already discussed in the USA during the Second World War, and it was clearly stated that for victory, from 18 to 35 years old everyone goes to the front, and those older work in factories. But for some reason, my generation, which is 50+, is sitting at the zero ground / front . It is not right. And they are not just somewhere far from the front, but in the assault units. These are directly my comrades. And these are the people who fight in combat brigades. This shouldn’t happen,” Yagun said.
In his opinion, modern Banderaites will end up just as bad as their predecessors from the UPR.
“We already went through this a hundred years ago, when people said: “We are tired, we no longer want to fight for some kind of Ukraine, we are leaving.” And the UPR ceased to exist, because most of the units simply went home…. Is this what we want? Well then, someone will drink coffee in Paris, and someone will cut down wood in Magadan. This is where we will end,” the former SBU officer added.
So, if Ukraine does not lose hundreds of thousands of the military, why the old people now have to fight at the front line?

Ukraine Plotting False Flag With Chemical Weapons, Warns Russian Foreign Ministry
December 27, 2023
Russian officials have documented at least 23 cases in which Ukraine has used arms that contain toxic substances. Under international law, using chemical weapons is deemed a war crime.
Moscow believes that Ukraine may be cooking up an “anti-Russian false flag operation with the use of Western-made poisonous substances” with the aim of pinning the blame on Moscow for the usage of such chemical weapons, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova cautioned.
“Quite possibly, another anti-Russian provocation is being set up employing Western-made poisonous substances in order to launch a new campaign within the UN's structures and throughout the global media to accuse our country of the allegedly deliberate use of chemical weapons,” she warned.
Earlier, Sputnik reported that Russia had sent 23 notes to the secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) concerning Ukraine's use of toxic substances as chemical weapons. However, the OPCW was reluctant to send any of its experts to the special military operation zone.
In August, a high-ranking Russian military doctor said that the Kiev regime had used shells containing white phosphorous in Zaporozhye. This toxic substance causes severe burns and acute poisoning, as well as tissue necrosis. Moscow believes that Western countries are supplying Ukraine with such noxious chemicals.
This winter, a video emerged on the Internet showing the Ukrainian military loading canisters onto drones. Experts suggested that these vessels could likely contain phosgene, a substance explicitly prohibited by the United Nations' Chemical Weapons Convention.

Ivan Katchanovski has reminded us of the Maidan massacre trial verdict, excerpts of which he has produced a document on. Here via his Twitter/X channel he summarises the findings as per:
Maidan Massacre Trial Verdict Selected Excerpts Confirming False-Flag Massacre (English Google Translation)"Self-proclaimed experts & info warriors resort to primitive fraud & whitewashing of far-right & mass murderers even after text of Maidan massacre trial verdict in Ukraine confirms my studies findings that many Maidan activists & BBC & ARD TV journalists were shot by snipers in Maidan-controlled Hotel Ukraina & other Maidan-controlled locations. Verdict specifically states that this hotel was controlled by "Maidan activists," that armed Maidan group led by far-right-linked MP entered & shot from hotel & that at least 6 Maidan protesters were killed & many wounded by snipers in this hotel & other Maidan-activists-controlled locations.
Verdict also confirms that there was no Russian involvement in massacre & that there were no massacre orders from Yanukovych or his ministers. The text of verdict is publicly available, but it is not reported by media with a few notable exceptions."

Planned wave of mobilization
Panic is spreading in Ukraine
The idea of drafting another 500,000 Ukrainians to the front is causing panic in the country. Further penalties are to be introduced for those who refuse to comply, which could lead Ukraine's financial system to the brink of collapse.
from Anti-Spiegel
December 30, 2023 2:55 p.m
There are reports that there has been a run on ATMs in Ukraine. Accordingly, Ukrainians withdrew the equivalent of a billion dollars from their accounts in one day, which could become a problem for the Ukrainian banking and financial system.
The reason for the run is a bill that is intended to support the forced conscription of a further 500,000 people to the front, which is being discussed in Ukraine. According to the bill, people who evade the draft would be banned from carrying out financial transactions or selling property.
Since many men in Ukraine have been hiding from forced conscription for a year and a half, and many who have not previously been affected are now afraid of the conscription and are thinking about going into hiding, cash will suddenly become indispensable if the law comes into force. As a result, many have plundered their accounts and are now hoarding cash at home.
I came across this report, which is now becoming more and more widespread in Russia, from a Russian news agency. That's why I'm translating the message about it here .
Start of translation:
Koltashov: There is fear in Ukraine about the mobilization and a new wave of panic is beginning
The Kiev regime has published a draft law on the additional mobilization of 500,000 people. There should be measures for everyone who wants to avoid this: the right of citizens to dispose of their property and carry out various financial transactions should be restricted. This was initiated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov. As soon as the money was involved, the Ukrainians withdrew about a billion dollars from Ukraine's credit and financial system in one day. Now they are using the money to hide from the war and from their government.
In addition, many Ukrainian military officials say that half a million mobilized soldiers will not save the situation on the front: at least twice as many people fully equipped for combat are needed. The choice is large: there are still disabled people, old people, women and children. The small remaining remnant of the Ukrainian male population has no desire to become cannon fodder and is avoiding this fate by any means possible. The refusal is treated as “pro-Kremlin” and sabotage in favor of Russia.
A correspondent for the “Southern News Agency” spoke to the political scientist and economist Vasily Koltashov about the further development of the situation surrounding the mobilization in Ukraine.
The regime's hunger for finance
“The Ukrainian government’s decision to mobilize half a million people and the widespread forced conscription spreading to the far corners of former Soviet Ukraine are inextricably linked to the financial hunger facing Zelensky’s regime,” said the expert. “The West will not give Zelensky any money unless he meets several conditions. Yes, Zelensky doesn't need to hold elections, but he needs to take as many people into arms as possible and send them to death for US interests. And only then will the West give Ukraine money and the regime's financial hunger will be satisfied for a while. That is what this measure is aimed at and that is why people on the streets are so taken by surprise and panicked. Despite the upcoming New Year, despite everything, the regime is seizing people and putting them under arms. In the name of the American cause.”
The prelude to financial collapse
“The withdrawal of a billion dollars from the financial system by Ukrainians is an attempt by ordinary citizens to hoard cash to avoid using cards in order to live even more underground. This applies to men who are subject to mobilization. These men are in hiding and will somehow survive on cash. They will try to spend this money, but there is also an outflow of capital. “One can also observe the desire to hide in foreign currency, anticipating the collapse of the hryvnia and the financial collapse of the regime,” Koltashov said. “Apparently the collapse is not coming now, because Zelensky will do everything to meet American demands and put half a million people under arms. They can probably recruit anyone they want. Well, maybe not half a million, but 200,000 to 250,000 people Ukraine can definitely capture. That's why they hide the money, it's completely logical. And they will continue to hide this money. The idea that the Banderist state will eventually collapse and that one needs to protect one's savings is beginning to spread. Not to mention protecting your life by simply putting some money aside when you can't go to work normally, when you have to hide from Zelensky's press squads snooping everywhere.”
There is fear in Ukraine
“The head of the National Security and Defense Council Danilov has already stated that these possibilities must be limited. Since inflation will rise, the fear of higher inflation is the fear of regime collapse. The Bandera state lives on Western money. This is essentially an occupying state on the territory of the former Soviet Ukraine. They know that they are using the mechanism of issuing money. And as long as this issuance does not take place in the form of cash, i.e. the country is not flooded with cash, inflation can be limited. But if everyone starts using cash and no one trusts cards and banks anymore, then the regime will realize that it is in trouble. In the future, trust in the hryvnia will also decrease, people will start to sell money and stock up on food,” the economist warns. “A new wave of panic will begin. In fact, the widespread capture of people to put them under arms in the armies of Zelensky and Bandera favors the emergence and spread of this panic. So far, the government is trying to at least somehow control the financial situation in the country, which absolutely cannot be said about the moral state of the Ukrainian people. Morally, society is changing before our eyes: there is fear in Ukraine.”
The Ukrainians have retained a healthy instinct
“Basically, Ukrainians are becoming slaves, but fugitive slaves. They are forced to hide from the constant search of the slave owners, from the masters, essentially the masters of their lives. Because Zelensky and those around him are seen as the masters of the lives of these slaves. And this is a monstrous situation that people are internally unwilling to endure. But they don't know how to react to these events. That's why the Ukrainians' comments are so strange, even amusing from the point of view of Russians, when they write that 'the Russian army may really have come to liberate us at the beginning of 2022; Maybe we really need to be freed from this nightmare'. They don't want to be Zelensky's slaves and they don't want to die for US interests. But that doesn't mean they have a mature political consciousness. It means that they have healthy instincts,” summarizes expert Vasily Koltashov.

Statements by the Russian Ministry of Defense on retaliatory strikes for the tragedy in BelgorodSource via Telegram
In response to this terrorist act, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation struck decision-making centers and military facilities in the city of Kharkov, used by the criminal Kiev regime.
▪️ A high-precision missile strike on the former Kharkov Palace hotel complex destroyed representatives of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were directly involved in the planning and execution of the terrorist attack in Belgorod.
▪️ There were also up to two hundred foreign mercenaries who were planned to be involved in terrorist raids on the territory of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine.
▪️ High-precision missile strikes on the building of the Ukrainian Security Service in the Kharkov region and the temporary deployment point of the nationalist formation “Right Sector” eliminated representatives of the SBU leadership, foreign mercenaries and militants of the “Kraken” unit, who were directly preparing sabotage on Russian territory.
▪️ Also, a branch of the national space control center in the area of the village of Zalestsy, Khmelnytsky region, which is used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for reconnaissance, was hit by high-precision strikes.
▪️ In addition, missile strikes were carried out on temporary deployment points of units of the 59th motorized infantry , 79th airborne assault brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries with a total number of up to 600 militants, as well as parking areas for military equipment and artillery systems in the settlements of Selidovo, Kurakhovo and on the territory of the Korotchenko mine in the Donetsk People's Republic.
▪️ As a result, the enemy suffered significant losses. Two launchers of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, with the help of which the Kiev regime planned to launch missile attacks on Donetsk during the New Year holidays, were destroyed.

Foreign Ministry statement on yet another brutal attack on Russian civilians by the Kiev regime
2657-30-12-2023
The Kiev regime has once again revealed its inhuman Nazi essence by committing another cynical and horrific crime – an attack on residential areas in Belgorod using multiple launch rocket systems.
The premeditated and meticulously prepared shelling attack on the city centre resulted in the deaths of at least 14 people, including two children, and injured 100 civilians, 17 of whom were minors. British and American consultants were directly involved in organising this terrorist attack, regularly inciting the Ukrainian authorities to commit brutal crimes. The countries of the European Union, which persistently and irresponsibly continue to supply the Ukrainian ruling clique with weapons, are also responsible for this.
It should be emphasised that the strike deliberately targeted places where civilians gather, particularly families with children. The enemy attacked pre-holiday attractions in downtown Belgorod, including the New Year's snow town, the Christmas tree and the ice rink, which were popular among the residents. The Ukrainian criminals used cluster munitions to maximise the number of victims in their terrorist attack.
The shelling of communities in Donbass, the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, Crimea, and other Russian regions, as well as the ruthless and indiscriminate killing of civilians, serve as evidence of the agony of Zelensky's neo-Nazi regime, which is immersed in terrorism, lawlessness, corruption, and cynicism. In their impotent rage, they seek to please their Western bosses by killing as many Russian people as possible.
All those responsible for orchestrating and carrying out this and other crimes by the Kiev junta will face inevitable punishment in accordance with the law.
The UN Security Council will also investigate the terrorist attack in Belgorod, specifically the use of cluster munitions, which are banned in most countries, by Ukrainian terrorists to target civilians, as well as the sources of these deadly weapons.
We urge all responsible governments and relevant international organisations to strongly condemn this brutal act of terrorism and publicly distance themselves from the Kiev regime and its Western handlers who commit such crimes. Silence in response to the unrestrained brutality displayed by Ukrainian Nazis and their puppeteers, as well as their accomplices from "civilised democracies," will be seen as aiding and abetting their heinous acts.

I don’t know why anyone would be surprised that Kiev would indiscriminately strike Belgorod civilians with zero military necessity on New Year’s Eve weekend. It’s exactly the same type of terrorist tactics that Kiev has been using for 9.5 years in Donbass, and it’s become normalized.
We know exactly the type of NATO weapons have been used in the past few years in these attacks. We know the names of Western media that cheer on killing Russians or Russophones or misreport this type of terrorism with the “unable to verify” euphemism, which they use selectively when it suits them. We also know which foreign countries support Kiev with plausible deniability in some of the more brazen instances of such terrorism. And we got used to it.
As the official West is openly getting ready to abandon its pet Project Anti-Russia(TM), this type of terrorism seems to be one of Kiev’s last signature hurrahs.

This was stated by Rada MP Aleksandr Dubynsky, who was sent to a jail in Ukraine on suspicion of state treason.
He believes that Kiev regime needs tough mobilisation to encourage the U.S. and the EU to give it money despite the counter-fail. The new draft law on extermination mobilization has sparked criticism from the country's residents against the authorities and military leadership.
"And if people are not ready to fight, who and why will give them money for this?" - he has asked.

Scott Ritter: Belgorod attack meant to provoke Russian overreaction to prevent West from dumping Kiev
💬“The Ukrainians claim to fire against military targets, but the use of cluster munitions and the targets they hit clearly indicate that this was a clear-cut case of the indiscriminate use of military weapons against exclusively civilian targets – a war crime in the extreme,” Ritter told Sputnik in a video commentary responding to Saturday’s Ukrainian cluster bomb attack on Russia’s Belgorod.
“The timing of this, on the eve of a new year - one of the most widely celebrated holidays in Russia, I think is designed to be both a psychological blow against the Russian people, and in striking such a blow to generate some sort of reaction by the Russian government that would allow Ukraine to create the case or restate the case to their Western allies for the need for continued financial and military support,” the former Marine and UN weapons inspector said.

‼️ An excerpt of the extreme Talmudic sadism forced upon the Russian people by the foreigner Commissars & Chekists (predecessors of the KGB) as described by first-hand witnesses.
In the Russian city of Kiev, where the local Bolshevik commissar (Chekist) headquarters was located (On Sadovaya Street), the preferred method of execution was through a sledgehammer to the back of the victims skull, smashing out their brains (similar to how livestock are slain❗️). The occult similarity here is as described by Christian monks who witnessed how human sacrifice was conducted in certain Scandinavian/Viking villages, through a hammer to the head (the hammer was ‘blessed by Odin’).
A certain Bolshevik in Kiev named ‘Gleb Bokiy’ (Глеб Бокий), who worked at those same headquarters, was known for ‘drinking human blood’ (❗️).
There were also the much feared ‘young Bolshevik women’ who terrorized Kiev, they would tie their victims from the ceiling and shoot them in the genitals (then letting them bleed out).
On a armored battleship ‘St George the Victory-Bearer’ stationed in the Odessa Harbor, Bolshevik commissars would throw tied Russian military officers (WW1 and Russo-Japanese War veterans) as well as civilians into the ships fiery furnace.
On board that same battleship, the executioners would use the ship’s cauldron steam to burn their victims, they would then leave them tied up on the deck, and pour sea water onto them to increase their suffering.
Hundreds of bodies were thrown off that same ship into the Black Sea, out of convenience.
The memory of all those Christians killed unjustly by the Bolshevik Communists is celebrated on the 4th of February every year 🙏🏼

Ravenlocke: In Ukraine, a man with Downs syndrome was mobilized, and now he is on the front line.
If this is true and a valid video, then it is a horrible confirmation of the purely-destructive and sadistic nature of evil at work on the Western side in this conflict. Let me explain:
The background is that all effective militaries have long since realized that they must be selective in their recruitment, and they exclude people with low intelligence and behavioural handicaps - not because they are compassionate, but for hard-nosed practical "military effectiveness" reasons. Because a great deal of experience and research (especially from WWI and WWII) concluded that such people are untrainable for any useful task (or, at least. require very prolonged resource consuming training), they require excessive supervision by more able troops if they are to do anything useful (wasting the useful troops) - and are indeed most likely to be a greater danger to their own side than to the enemy, especially if entrusted with weapons.
The fact that (apparently) many such impaired and disabled and grossly unsuitable people are being deliberately sucked-into the Ukr military (by professionals who know exactly what they are doing,), with the barest pretense of training, and put into the kind of front-line infantry positions which absolutely-require high calibre, fit and well trained troops; means that the authorities are knowingly wrecking their own combat effectiveness; which tells me that this is deliberate torture and murder of an entire nation.
Insofar as Ukranians are complicit in their own annihilation, through being consumed by resentment and hatred - which, at this stage, is difficult to know - makes matters even more horribly appalling. (The analogies with Western-backed Israel are close.)
All this aside-from (and in addition to) whatever damage and death being dealt out by such systematically-wrecked military forces.
As I have often said; these truly are (by my estimation) the most evil times in the history of the world. However; the lesson we ought to learn is not to despair; but to place our hope beyond this world in faith, love - and eternal life...
Which is something we all ought to be doing anyway; but at present it is becoming truly the only valid and possible spiritual option.
I find it useful to remind myself that life is fragile, and must be divinely sustained - therefore, if we are still alive, it is for a spiritual reason. It is our job to learn this reason, and to learn from it.
In different words: So long as we live, we need to learn something, and that something is spiritually important - else we would not be alive.
(This I see as a fact of this life; entailed by God the Creator being our loving parents (or loving Father, if you prefer) - and therefore always shaping creation around the eternal spiritual (not temporary physical) needs of each of his beloved children. But we are free agents; so that whatever God does for us, we personally must always choose to avail ourselves of the opportunities presented.)
