- Zelensky DROPS OUT From Call With US Senators; Tucker Carlson Decries CORRUPTION in Ukraine:
Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss President Zelensky's cancelled address to United States senators on military aid.
Text:
If the F-16s transferred to Ukraine are based in NATO countries, they will become a legitimate target of Russia.
The North Atlantic Alliance is getting deeper and deeper into the Ukrainian conflict. As we understand, it is waging a hybrid war against our country under the slogan “saving Ukraine.” They agreed that their main goal was to prevent confrontation with Russia.
Funny.

🇵🇱🇺🇦The volume of humanitarian aid for Ukraine has decreased due to checks on the border with Poland, - Do Rzeczy
▪️A representative of the Polish Committee for the Protection of Carriers, Jacek Sokol, said that after the start of tax audits, there were “suddenly” much fewer cars with humanitarian aid allowed to enter Ukraine.
💬 “Suddenly there were much fewer cars with humanitarian aid, because Ukrainian drivers told their bosses that documents would be checked and, probably, criminal cases would be initiated, because falsifying documents is punishable. These cargoes immediately became much smaller,” Jacek Sokol .
▪️He believes that the drivers themselves and the Ukrainian companies themselves are deceiving their country and each other on the issue of who has the right to travel and who does not.

4th border detachment. Border Commandant's Office of Rapid Response
A shortened video of Ukrainian staff officers interviewing their border guard who is trying to survive on the front.
“It’s been a year and a half of war, everyone in their own cars, all travel, business trips, fuel, food, repairs at personal expense. In every new place, look for housing yourself.”
“They are gathering personnel who have not slept and are sick after two days. Those who remained are completing the task of assault. No plan, no interaction, no communication.”
“Where are all the financial flows about which they write everywhere on the Internet going (ed. - talking about Western sponsorship of the war against Russia)? Where is the security? Why is everything that was issued to me - not even the entire machine gun, semi-automatic machine, everything else - personal? And so it is for the majority.”
“How can you go on an assault in the absence of thermal imagers, night lights, support, armored vehicles”
“They dug with their hands, because the shovels they gave were plasticine, but they said that there were trenches there. Keeping people under arty, what’s the point?”
“People are not trained to shoot. Do you know how our fire was carried out? We searched for the cartridges that we collected ourselves. They gave us grenades. Who threw the grenade? Nobody! People don't know how to use weapons. Where are you sending them for the assault, gentlemen officers?”
“Reconsider the composition of the commandant’s office. There are people here who are already 58. What kind of quick response will there be?”
Meanwhile, on the western border of Ukraine, border residents live very well. They take money from draft dodgers and smugglers.

SIMPLICIUS The Thinker Ѱ provides an update provided by a Ukrainian Telegram channel on different sectors of military activity. I've bolded certain text as well. Update provided on X, 7:48 PM · Dec 6, 2023:
------------⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Ukrainian military channel NachShtabu writes⚡️:
The situation at the front is becoming quite sad. Our units are beginning to experience a shortage of ammunition. The enemy has significantly increased the number of shelling with artillery shells. If a month ago there were from 25 to 35 thousand shells per day, now this figure is over 60 thousand per day.
Currently, the enemy continues to actively attack in Kupyansk, Limansk and Bukhmustk directions. It can be emphasised that the Russians are trying to use less equipment and are operating in small assault groups. In some cases, they are supported by BMP fire.
In the Bakhmut direction, our units have had some successes. Our fighters managed to capture several positions north of Belogorovka. However, there the enemy regularly carries out assaults along the railway. In the area of Kleshcheyevka the enemy has gained the initiative, which allowed the occupants to push back the units of the 80 Oddshbr.
Near Avdeevka, the Russians are cutting our flanks. They are actively using aviation. They are also storming practically without equipment.
Maryinka is almost completely taken. According to our information, fighters from 79 Odshbr were forced to withdraw from several positions. Only a few lines of streets remain under our control.
On the left bank of the Dnieper is difficult but controlled. South-west of Krynok the Russians stormed our positions. However, they were forced to withdraw. Then 26 guided aerial bombs were thrown there⚡️⚡️⚡️
There has been, last I looked, a solitary response to that tweet from a commentator who still labours under the delusion that, quote: "...time is still on Ukraine's side.". The levels of naivete in such statements beggars belief really.
It's been an unmitigated human tragedy for Ukraine spurred on by sponsors in the West, and encouraged by corrupt proxies in Kiev, who continue to double-down on their sunk-cost fallacy. Stupid is as stupid does, and it's worse than that even as anyone who has being paying attention over the last nearly two years ought really to be aware.
In the meantime body language speaks louder than the word. To whit, how Vladimir Putin presents on the global stage: this is not the demeanour of someone who is 'losing', anything, or about to lose - whatever that even really means - anything. :flower:

Nine Russian Tu-95MS bombers pound Kiev – Su-34s launch salvo of four FAB-500s – 40 bombs dropped on Donetsk alone! 08/122023
Russia began heavy bombing
https://warnews247.gr/wp-content/upl...1-1140x570.jpg
Russia launched massive air strikes against Ukrainian targets for the first time since August.
On the morning of December 8, nine Tu-95MS bombers fired cruise missiles against Kiev's military and industrial facilities. According to Ukrainian sources, explosions occurred in Kyiv and in the Irpin and Boryspil regions.
An air raid alert was declared in most of the country.
According to media reports, the missiles entered the Ukrainian capital from Kharkiv and Cherkasy regions.
It is noted that the last time such large-scale rocket launches were carried out by the Russian Aerospace Forces was in August this year. Since then, the Russian military has been limited to using "Geran" kamikaze UAVs and "Oniks" and "Kalibr" cruise missile launchers.

"Nuclear" bomb from Russia: "We will decide with a referendum the annexation of the whole of Ukraine" - Will the "New Russia" Army continue the war?
08/12/2023
A senior Russian official made a shocking statement revealing that the "annexation of the whole of Ukraine will be decided by a referendum"!
It is the first time since the beginning of the war that such a thing has been officially heard, a fact that shows that Russia's goals have changed after the collapse of the Ukrainian Army and the cessation of funding from the US (and perhaps the EU).
Until now, Kharkiv, Nikolaev and Odessa were mentioned as targets, but not the whole country and certainly not "total annexation of it to Russia".
It is the people of Ukraine who could make such a choice, as the people of Crimea and other Russian regions have expressed their will to join Russia , said Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Yuri Shvytkin.
For the chairman of the Defense Committee of the State Duma to express this opinion means that there are "big plans" in the Kremlin...
His comment, which upset the US, came in response to US Senator Chris Murphy's recent statement that Ukraine could return to the control of the Russian Federation.
"It's a shame that an American senator decides on Ukraine.
They have driven Ukraine to the point of real collapse.
Ukraine is essentially on the brink of an abyss.
It has ceased to exist as a state," Yuri Shvytkin said, adding that Russia's primary goal is to achieve the goals of the special military operation.
Chris Murphy, a member of the US Senate from the Democratic Party, expressed the view that Ukraine could become part of Russia if the US fails to approve an additional aid package to the former Soviet republic for 2024.
Will the "Army of the New Russia" continue the war?
The worst scenario for Ukraine is to continue the war even after the total occupation of Donbas, Zaporizhia and Kherson. The continuation of the war will be undertaken by the "Army of New Russia", i.e. those forces that come from the territories that have already joined Russia.
The new Army will move for the "liberation" of the entire country and its integration into Russia. There is relevant information that points in this direction.
"Many Ukrainian prisoners of war do not want to be exchanged and returned to Ukraine for fear of being charged for their capture and sent back to the front line," said Darya Morozova, human rights ombudsman for the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
“Many of the Ukrainian prisoners want to stay in Russia because they understand that once they return to Ukraine under an exchange agreement, they may face criminal cases for captivity and are absolutely sure to be sent to the front lines.
They don't want to fight, they want to live a peaceful life, even if they don't see their families for a long time.
They are ready to stay here, not go to war," she said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
The Ukrainian government said earlier that about 35,000 Ukrainian soldiers are being held captive in Russia.
The “Bogdan Khmelnitsky” Order shows the way…
In addition, the first volunteer battalion composed entirely of former Ukrainian soldiers was formed at the end of October, after prisoners of war (POWs) decided to fight in the Russian army.
This volunteer battalion, named “Bogdan Khmelnitsky”, was named after one of the most prominent figures in Russian and Ukrainian history.
According to military sources, the volunteer battalion joined the tactical formation "Cascade" and included about 70 soldiers. The vast majority of them voluntarily laid down their arms and surrendered to the Russian army.
Ukrainian volunteers even signed contracts with the Russian armed forces on the same terms as any other Russian. In fact, members of the new "Bogdan Khmelnitsky" battalion confirmed that they joined the unit voluntarily and also received Russian citizenship.

Biolabs at Work? 'Antimicrobial Resistance' Sees Alarming Spike in Ukraine - CDC 4 hours ago
https://cdn1.img.sputnikglobe.com/im...26038.png.webp
Russia’s Radiological, Chemical and Biological Defense Troops have spent nearly two years shedding light on the extent of US military-biological activities in Ukraine, from the deliberate infection of Ukrainian servicemen with deadly viruses to gauge response to work on deadly new pathogens designed specifically to target certain genotypes.
Resistance to antimicrobial medicines which prevent and treat infectious diseases has experienced an explosive rise in Ukraine.
That’s according to a new report by the US Centers for Disease Control released Friday, which indicated that “in Ukraine, the confluence of high prewar rates of antimicrobial resistance, an increase in the prevalence of traumatic wounds, and the war-related strain on health care facilities is leading to increased detection of multidrug-resistant organisms with spread into Europe.”
The report, made possible through collaboration between the CDC, the Center for Public Health of Ukraine (UPHC), and other local health authorities and “international partners,” including the World Health Organization and the US State Department, used data collected in hospitals in the western and central Ukrainian regions of Ternopol, Khmelnitskiy, and Vinnitsa.
The study found that in the period between November and December 2022, some 14 percent (50 out of 353) sampled patients suffered from health care-associated infections, with 30 of the 50 infected with a carbapenem-resistant organism – a type of bacteria that can produce chemicals that destroy antibiotics.
Among 19 patients infected with kebsiella, a bacteria known to cause respiratory, urinary and wound infections, a whopping 100 percent showed resistance to antibiotic agents. Meanwhile, among 20 sampled patients with klebsiella pneumoniae (a genus of kebsiella typically associated with pneumonia among patients suffering from diabetes and alcohol abuse), 100 percent once again showed resistance to cephalosporin, a third-generation beta-lactam antimicrobial.
“These rates are substantially higher than those reported from a 2016-2017 European Union-wide point prevalence survey, which included more than 300,000 acute care hospital patients and 100,000 long-term care facility residents,” the CDC said, noting that “among these respondents, the study found a health care-associated infection rate of 5.5 percent.”
The CDC blamed “inadequacies in surveillance of health care-associated infections, implementation of infection prevention and control measures such as recommended hand hygiene, and monitoring, evaluation and feedback to the hospital staff members” for the alarming spike in antibiotic resistance in Ukraine.

🇷🇺🛢🇺🇸🛳 A ship with oil products from Novorossiysk arrived at the US Navy base
On December 7, the tanker AVENCA brought 50,000 tons of oil products from the Russian Federation on a direct flight from the port of Novorossiysk to the Norfolk naval base.
This was reported by the head of the Ukrainian monitoring group of the Institute of Black Sea Strategic Studies, Andrey Klimenko.
At the same time, the tanker belongs to Germany, another country that is part of NATO, and Norfolk is one of the most significant and largest American bases on the east coast, which serves ships that perform operational missions in the Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.
Norfolk is the main base of the US Navy and the largest military harbor in the world. It houses 75 ships, including aircraft carriers, as well as 134 aircraft, ammunition and fuel depots.
