Unfortunately it looks like things just get much worse.
Amazing that Britain's economy is in such bad shape that they've cut the pensioner's fuel allowance and cannot complete a rail line(HS2) within 20 years but they can pour billions in resources on stoking a destructive WW3 that can only accelerate theirs and Wulraine's losses.🤯

"We call upon the British government to ponder on the possible consequences,"

LONDON, November 20. /TASS/. The Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom called upon London to refrain from pushing the world towards the dangerous escalation.

In a statement, published to mark the 1,000th day of the special military operation in Ukraine, the embassy said: "Even now, British hawks are seeking to put more fuel into the fire, promoting new rounds of escalation. Judging by their officials’ remarks <…>, they have still not given up their illusions about the possibility of inflicting the ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia."

Zelensky rules out election again​

Vladimir Zelensky has stated that Ukraine must first achieve a just peace before citizens can go to the polls. The Ukrainian leader’s presidential term expired in March 2024, but he cancelled elections due to martial law, which he’d imposed in 2022.
Zelensky addressed the issue while presenting his Internal Resilience Plan in the country’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, on Tuesday.
“We all know that the Constitution of Ukraine and the law do not permit elections during wartime, and no one in the world has demanded and does demand this from Ukraine. However, there are some people in Ukraine who may be so ‘hungry’ for [elections] that they want to fight within our state more than for our state. They seek political disputes in the trenches, like in film studios. This is detrimental to Ukraine,” he stated.
“First, Ukraine needs a just peace, and then Ukrainians will hold fair elections. We must prioritize the common interest over any personal desires,” Zelensky added.
The Ukrainian leader emphasized the importance of a comprehensive strategy to ensure the country’s internal stability. This includes strengthening the front lines, bolstering the defense industry, securing the economy and financial system, enhancing the information space, ensuring justice, improving regional governance, and other critical issues.

Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, who has been described in Western media as “the real power broker” in Kiev, stated that presidential elections would be held immediately after the war ends. According to Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk, the next presidential elections would take place within 60 days after martial law is lifted.
Last week, Zelensky extended the period of martial law and mobilization in Ukraine until February 2025, amending the relevant legislation for the 13th time since the escalation of the conflict with Russia in February 2022.
Throughout the conflict, his government has outlawed a number of opposition parties, citing their presumed involvement in subversive activities. Several MPs have been prosecuted and jailed.
Zelensky has also been accused of consolidating power by purging government officials and military leaders he deemed as disloyal. Those included the former commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, and Defense Minister Aleksey Reznikov.
In September, seven cabinet ministers and several other officials were removed from their positions. Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanishina were among those let go.

Russia Just Hit Ukraine with ICBM

on-nuclear ICBM hit Dnipro, Ukraine tonight. Looks like there were six warheads on the MIRV RS-26 Mobile ICBM.

This is clearly a warning from Russia and kicks this war to a whole new level.

Video below shows the strikes (16 seconds).

From what I see, re-entry blocks hit with 20m precision 150 apart from each other

View: https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1859535860946878862

200m is Soviet style disinformation to hide real accuracy from USA
ICBM test range in Kura always had two targets - one fake which visible from space, and the second one has been hidden under grass, so US couldn't figure from satellite images what is real accuracy is

The people who are doing this are the Israelis and they could not give a shit about anything or anyone you do .
Anthony blinken did this to give netenahu time to genocide and to weaken trump and blame him for the inevitable deal with the Russians .
whatever happens Ukraine cannot fall before Jan 20th and that is why the Brits are so bloodthirsty and are supplying missiles as starmer has stated he is a proud Zionist married to a Jewish woman and attends a synagogue and in his words RUSSIA CANNOT WIN.
starmer is a evil bastard and he serves israel first .

Imagine my surprise.........:ROFLMAO:

Ukrainians have stolen up to half of US aid – ex-Polish deputy minister​

Kiev laundered money for the Democrats, taking a cut of what was left over, Piotr Kulpa has claimed

Ukraine did not receive as much foreign aid as claimed by the administration of US President Joe Biden, and a lot of whatever help it did get was embezzled, a former Polish deputy minister has claimed. Up to a half of the funds that reached Kiev was stolen by Ukrainian officials, Piotr Kulpa has alleged.
The political commentator previously held several posts in the Polish government, serving as deputy labor minister in the mid-2000s, and is currently a regular contributor on Ukrainian online shows. Kulpa is a vocal supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump, as evidenced by his remarks to Ukrainian journalist Lana Shevchuk on Thursday.
“Everyone understands that war-related corruption is linked not only with Ukraine, but also the supplier nation,” he said. “Who would ever believe that the US burned through $2 trillion in Afghanistan? It’s delusional!”
US aid programs are a mechanism to “write off large sums of money that finance shady systems under the Democratic Party’s control,” he alleged. The incoming Trump administration could review government finances and discover the truth that “Ukraine got very little” compared to the amounts mentioned in public statements, Kulpa claimed.

“But they will also find something else: that a huge portion of the funds was stolen in Ukraine. From 30% to 50%, regardless of the nature of the aid,” he added.
If Kiev were to recover all the embezzled money for the Ukrainian budget, the country would have enough for a year, Kulpa said. He denounced senior Ukrainian officials, whose regular salaries and bonuses he believes are outrageously high.
“It’s a spit in the face of every Ukrainian,” the former minister asserted. “To every European and American taxpayer. This system is criminal from start to finish.”
Trump and his allies have been highly critical of the amount of assistance that the Biden administration has sent to Kiev. The president-elect has argued that EU nations should assume the burden of propping up Ukraine, while the American government should focus on its own priorities.

US concerns about graft in Kiev have been reflected in some government documents, such as a report that Pentagon Inspector General Robert Storch’s office released last week. It said corruption “continues to complicate Ukraine’s efforts to achieve its EU and NATO aspirations.”

UNESCO bars Russian journalists from free speech session​

Moscow’s delegation insists the illegal ban was imposed “under pressure from the Collective West”
UNESCO bars Russian journalists from free speech session

Russian journalists have been denied access to a UN session in Paris on media freedom, Moscow's delegation to UNESCO has claimed. On Friday, the UN cultural body presented a report on killings of journalists, which was criticized by Moscow for ignoring the murders of Russian journalists by Ukraine.
UNESCO reportedly refused accreditation for Russian journalists to attend the panel or to enter the organization’s headquarters in the French capital, which was held by the International Program for the Development of Communication (IPDC), the Russian delegation said in a post on Telegram on Friday.
The refusal came despite IPDC rules stating that meetings are open to the public and that no bans on visiting UNESCO are in place, the delegation noted.
“Under pressure from the ‘Collective West’, the UNESCO Secretariat led by the Frenchwoman [Audrey] Azoulay only pays lip service to freedom of speech, while restricting the rights of journalists,” the statement read.

The Russian delegation demanded that the UNESCO Secretariat “strictly abide” by its obligation “not to seek or receive instructions from any government or agency,” it added.
At the session, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay presented the report titled ‘Journalists at the frontlines of crises and emergencies’. The publication proposes to be a biannual document that analyzes the global state of journalist safety and levels of impunity for crimes committed against them in 2022 and 2023.
The report finds that 162 journalists, media workers, and social media producers were killed in 2022-23, a 38% increase from 2020-2021, states the report.
After the draft report was released earlier this month, Russia accused UNESCO of failing to include deadly Ukrainian attacks on Russian journalists that have taken place during the reporting period.
The report mentioned the killings of only two Russian media workers since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. UNESCO, however, was notified via diplomatic channels about five such cases, the country’s ambassador to the organization, Rinat Alyautdinov, has stated.

Earlier this week, RT sent a letter to Azoulay accusing UNESCO of failing to maintain neutrality when it comes to Russian media.
In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin estimated that at least 30 Russian journalists had been killed in the line of duty since the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022.

Real fact driven journalists realise that they are on their own in these times.
Unless you're embedded and staying in a nice hotel provided by whom ever.
And repeating talking points from the press officer.
You're fair game.

Ukraine can make America rich – Trump ally​

The country has rare earth minerals worth trillions and is ready to make a deal with the US, Senator Lindsey Graham has said

Ukraine could be extremely useful to the US because it is brimming with valuable natural resources and is willing to negotiate an agreement with Washington on extraction, Senator Lindsey Graham has said.
The Republican senator from South Carolina told Fox News that the Ukraine conflict is ultimately “about money.” An extract of the interview was published on the senator’s YouTube channel on Wednesday. “You know that the richest country in all of Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine?” he said, estimating the worth at 2 to 7 trillion dollars.
Graham added that Ukraine is ready to “do a deal with us,” but not Russia. “So it’s in our interest to make sure that Russia doesn’t take over the place,” he said, describing Ukraine as the “breadbasket of the world.”

“We can make money and have an economic relationship with Ukraine. It would be very beneficial to us, with peace,” Graham went on to say. “Donald Trump is going to do a deal to get our money back, to enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals. A good deal for Ukraine and us.”
The president-elect, he added, will also help settle the conflict by concluding an “honorable deal” that would avoid “humiliating” Russian President Vladimir Putin and setting the stage for another conflict.
“Donald Trump knows how to end wars. All Joe Biden knows how to do is start wars,” he said.
Graham is known for his hawkish stance on aiding Ukraine and containing Moscow. In February, he was added to Russia’s list of ‘terrorists and extremists’, after the senator advocated for designating Russia as a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’. In 2023, Moscow expressed outrage over Graham’s remarks during a meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, when he said: “The Russians are dying. The best money we’ve ever spent.”
In mid-October, Zelensky presented his ‘victory plan,’ which stated that Kiev is ready to sign with its Western backers “a special agreement on the joint protection of the available critical resources” in Ukraine.
Earlier this month, Mikhail Podoliak, a top adviser to Zelensky, also stressed that Ukraine has “deposits of rare minerals, such as lithium and titanium, which we can exploit together [with the US].”
Trump has vowed to quickly end the Ukraine conflict. Media reports have suggested that he may try to force Ukraine to drop its NATO ambitions and negotiate a freeze of the conflict. Moscow has ruled out a freeze along the current front line, insisting that all the objectives of its military operation must be achieved.

He is an idiot - 90% of Ukrainian resources are coal and iron ore which the USA has plenty of its own
Lithium and uranium are very expensive to extract and it will cost a fortune

failed to save Ukraine. Indeed already the al'lies are now referring to they're soon to be occupying "Western" Ukraine.

Meanwhile, How's it looking??

'Western vector' leaves Ukraine poorest country in Europe — politician​

Ukrainians have never seen the promised freedom, Viktor Medvedchuk noted , , ,
. . . "Because of the coup and two Maidans, Ukraine ended in war, de-sovereignization, de-intellectualization, deindustrialization, depopulation, and total degradation of all spheres of life. The impoverishment of tens of millions of Ukrainians. Absolute dependence on the collective West," Medvedchuk emphasized.

It is shale gas with very high cost of extraction
It will make a desert there
Shell and Chevron left Ukraine because they couldn't see it as commercially valuable without ruining the ecology there

Ritter's commentary suggests that Russia now has the tools to quench Zitlers desire for escalation.
Despite the change in nuclear doctrine, Zitler's MSM supporters, at this late stage are still mocking & trivialising Russian resolve.
Interesting the Russians have stated clearly that their future targets will be announced in advance.
They'll now legitimately target anywhere they choose.
Zitler's Deep-Strike plan has backfired and been nullified in an instant, a tricky moment for the MSM?

Germany expels Russian journalists​

Russia’s Channel 1 has said its staff have been told to leave Berlin

The German government has ordered the closure of the Russian public broadcaster Channel 1’s bureau in Berlin and told its staff to leave the country by early December.
According to the broadcaster, correspondent Ivan Blagoy and cameraman Dmitry Volkov received official notification on Tuesday that they would be expelled, with German authorities citing national security concerns.
The move, which comes amid rising tensions between Europe’s two most powerful states, has sparked outrage, with the network calling it the latest attempt to silence independent reporting in the EU.
“The activities of Channel One pose a threat to public order and security in Germany and the EU,” the authorities reportedly stated, adding that the network’s content continues to influence Russian-speaking audiences in Germany despite its website being blocked.
Channel One, which is funded by the Russian government, has long been accused in the West of spreading pro-Kremlin narratives. The expulsion of its journalists follows a report by Blagoy on the detention of German citizen Nikolai Gaiduk, arrested by Russian security services on suspicion of espionage. Gaiduk, according to Russian officials, was involved in a plot by Ukrainian intelligence to sabotage gas facilities in the Kaliningrad region.

Germany suggests turning metro stations into bomb shelters

Moscow quickly responded to the German decision, with Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warning that retaliatory measures would be announced shortly. “We will not leave this without a response,” she told TASS.
The Russian broadcaster cited a document it received from the German authorities, which reportedly stated that “the activities of Channel One represent a significant immediate threat to public order and security in Germany and the EU as they pose a threat to the process of the formation of the public opinion and decision-making in the member states.”
The document also said that despite the Russian TV station’s website being blocked in Germany, its content “is still available on the Internet, is distributed via Telegram channels and continues to influence the Russian-speaking population of Germany.”
“Russian media has promoted the decline of the West and the economic collapse of Europe. This narrative and other far-right narratives have taken root among many Russian speakers, causing mistrust of the structures of the German state, the EU, and influencing far-right groups in Germany,”
the document added, as cited by Channel One.
READ MORE: Germany’s Scholz renominated for chancellorship
The expulsion of Channel 1’s journalists is the latest in a series of actions taken by Western European governments against Russian media outlets since Moscow’s military offensive against Ukraine in 2022. In March of that year, most Russian news sources were banned in the EU, including RT and Sputnik.
“We were simply doing our job by reporting on the events in Ukraine, and now we are being punished for it,” Blagoy said. “This is not just an attack on Channel One; it’s an attack on the freedom of the press itself.”
In late September, a couple from the German city of Karlsruhe was arrested on suspicion of broadcasting RT and other Russian TV channels via the internet. They may face at least one year in prison if found guilty of violating the Foreign Trade Act.
