Kremlin now says Zelenskyy can stay in power in Ukraine

Russia is apparently walking back its earlier goals to overthrow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s government in its faltering invasion.

On Monday, a Kremlin spokesman said the “special operation” in Ukraine ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin is not focused on regime change in Kyiv.

“No, the president has spoken about this already,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, according to TASS, the official Russian news agency.

In February, Mr. Putin called on the Ukrainian military to oust Mr. Zelenskyy.

For the Llama, maybe.  But there's no way I'd eat raccoon.

Maybe that's because you're not an Orc?

A couple of weeks ago, on my online Poker site, i saw a user named something like PETARULES95.

In the chat section, I started a discussion of how to cook Koala, including cooking temps, sauces, and even wine selection.

Bitch went ballistic.  Was going to turn me into the United Nations, Interpol, and her PETA managment

Yeah, it's amazing. I just saw an exchange on Fecebook where someone was whining because a deer hunter took down a cougar while looking to fill his deer tag. (The whiner caught hell on the board). Cougar are a shoot-on-sight critter here.

Yep...

Funniest part was when I told the lady that before she turned me into Interpol and the United Nations, to at least let me finish eating the evidence first.

I don't know much about cooking/eating racoon. Probably because I would never have the nerve to catch/hold one like that.
Sounds like rumors are true. The Russians are really low on ammo.

Russia has 'very nearly exhausted' its supply of Iranian drones used to attack Ukraine's energy facilities

By CHRIS JEWERS FOR MAILONLINE
23 November 2022

Russia has 'very nearly exhausted' its supply of Iranian-built drones that it has been using to wreak terror on Ukraine, according to Britain's Ministry of Defence.

Since October 10, Russia has launched six massive aerial attacks against Ukraine's power grid and other infrastructure, and has used the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to overwhelm Ukraine's air defences and strike deep into Kyiv's territory.

Analysts believe Moscow has been using the drones to compensate for a shortage of cruise missiles, having conducted thousands of strikes across Ukraine since Vladimir Putin launched his brutal invasion of the country on February 24.

But now, after carrying out hundreds of attacks with the Iranian-made Shahed-136 'suicide' drones, Britain's MoD has said Russia's UAV supply is also running low.

Looks like the Ukrainian are across the Dnieper River and cleaning out the Kinburn peninsula.

After retaking Kherson City, Ukraine’s forces battle Russia’s on a strategic peninsula.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/11/23/world/russia-ukraine-war-news/after-retaking-kherson-city-ukraines-forces-take-on-russias-on-a-strategic-black-sea-peninsula?smid=url-share

After forcing Russian troops to retreat from the city of Kherson two weeks ago, Ukrainian special forces are now battling the Russians on the islands and in marshes to the southwest, trying to push them out of a strategically vital peninsula at the mouth of the Dnipro River where it meets the Black Sea.

The fighting is focused on the Kinburn Spit, on the east bank of the Dnipro River, the Ukrainian authorities said on Tuesday. For tourists who have visited the sliver of land, the spit is a place of rare natural beauty, but it could also prove pivotal to the next phase of the country’s war against Moscow.

Russia took control of the peninsula in June in one of its last notable advances in the south before it was forced onto the defensive by a sustained Ukrainian counteroffensive. Two weeks ago, the Kremlin ordered a retreat from the city of Kherson, on the west bank of the Dnipro, but military experts said it would fight tenaciously to keep control of Kinburn.

Ukraine Situation Report: Battle For Kinburn Spit Underway

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/ukraine-situation-report-battle-for-kinburn-spit-underway

Ukrainian forces have recaptured much of the southern part of the country up to the Dnipro River and now a battle is underway to dislodge Russian troops from their last stronghold in Mykolaiv Oblast.

Ukrainian troops are now fighting to liberate the Kinburn Spit, the tip of the narrow Kinburn Peninsula jutting into the Black Sea. It’s a strategic chokepoint for both the Dnipro and South Bug rivers, controlling access to the key ports of Kherson City and Mykolaiv respectively.

Russians HAVE to be the most pig-headed people in the world,or they would have already sent Putin off to take a dirt nap.

Russia is so weak and so poor now that every day I wake up and DON'T read that China has invaded Russia in the east is a bit of a surprise.

Stalin is understandable in the historical context. The typical Russia had no access to non-Party news back then. Today everybody in Russia has access to the web that wants it.

BREAKING: Biden to send Ukraine ANOTHER $400 million in weapons from US stockpile
200 generators, ammunition for both air defense and artillery systems, 150 heavy machine guns with thermal sights to shoot drones, 10,000 120mm mortar rounds, and 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition, among other items, are being sent, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

The Biden administration will send another $400 million in weapons to Ukraine, pulling gear from its own stockpiles to support the fight against Russia. The move will help get gear to Kyiv as fast as possible as Russian forces continue to attack Ukrainian energy sources before winter sets in.

The US has committed over $19 billion in weapons and aid to Ukraine since the attack by Russia on February 24. The aid package will be done via presidential drawdown authority, allowing the Pentagon to use its own stockpile of weapons to ship to Ukraine, reports AP.

200 generators, ammunition for both air defense and artillery systems, 150 heavy machine guns with thermal sights to shoot drones, 10,000 120mm mortar rounds, and 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition, among other items, are being sent, the Pentagon reportedly said on Tuesday. ...

Blackouts across Ukraine amid wave of Russian strikes

49 minutes ago

Ukraine and neighbouring Moldova have faced widespread blackouts after the latest wave of Russian strikes.

At least six civilians in Ukraine were killed in the barrage, and officials were forced to shut down three nuclear reactors due to power outages.

Moldova was not directly hit but half the country lost power.

With winter setting in, Moscow has stepped up strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Half of the country's power grid needs repair.

On Wednesday, an air-raid alert was issued across Ukraine, followed by reports of explosions in a number of locations - including in the capital Kyiv and in the Western city Lviv.

In the southern Zaporizhzhia region, a newborn baby was killed when a missile hit a maternity unit, emergency services said.

General Valeriy Zaluzhniy - the commander of Ukraine's armed forces - said 67 cruise missiles were launched by Moscow, with air defences successfully intercepting 51 projectiles.

But the attack has caused significant damage to infrastructure across the country.  .  .
