No American troops in Ukraine.  Let the Europeans defend their own Continent and economic union.

Zelenskiy isn't asking for American troops.  He's pretty much figured out that the current US regime can't be counted on for anything.  Several European countries have already hinted at supplying troops including tiny Estonia.  That country has more balls than Biden could ever dream of having.  Same goes for Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, and Poland.

The person responsible for the Molodizhne prison massacre has been killed in Donetsk.


In the center of Donetsk, an SUV carrying the head of the Olenivska colony was blown up — video

Yelyzaveta Kovtun  |  yesterday 11:09


On December 9, an SUV exploded in the center of temporarily occupied Donetsk. It became known that the ex-head of the Olenivska colony of the DPR Serhii Yevsyukov was blown up.  .  .

.  .  .  From the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation until the end of July 2022, he organized the torture of more than 100 captured soldiers of the Armed Forces.

Yevsyukov was also suspected due to the death of Ukrainian soldiers during a terrorist attack in Olenivska colony. At least 50 Ukrainian servicemen who were in the cells died then. At the same time, 9 of them — due to failure to provide them with emergency medical care. Almost 150 were injured.

Until 2014, Yevsyukov was the head of the search department in the Horliv district department of the disbanded militia of the Donetsk region. During the occupation, he remained on the territory of the city and later went to cooperate with the Russians.  .  .  .

After the explosion of a car in Donetsk, the head of the Yelenovskaya colony of the DPR, Sergei Yevsyukov, was killed. His wife was also injured - her leg was torn off, she is in the hospital in serious condition. Previously, under the bottom of the man's Toyota Land Cruiser, a plastid was laid - about 100 grams in TNT equivalent.

Earlier, a criminal case was opened against Yevsyukov and his deputy in Ukraine - they were accused of involvement in the death of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Azovstal. Who died in July 2022. Then several American Himars flew into the colony in Olenivka.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, two years ago, 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed, another 73 were injured. Fragments of a shell from the American Himars MLRS were found at the scene.

This is why the Russian Army is getting destroyed on the battlefield.  Meanwhile, our Defense Department just enriched Lockheed and other large defense contractors with another $1 billion while Ukrainian armed forces rely on private online fundraising efforts to buy more of these drones.

Russian doctor to row Atlantic to help Ukraine medics

23 hours ago


Leo Krivski is preparing to row across the Atlantic to raise money for medical supplies in Ukraine

"I think it's good to test yourself to see who you really are" - the words of a doctor about to take on a solo row across the Atlantic.

Moscow-born Leo Krivski has been raising money to support medics in Ukraine through a charity he founded a year ago, called Ukrops.

Now, in a bid to raise more money and awareness of aid requirements in the country, he is preparing to set sail.

Mr Krivski, who works as a consultant anaesthetist at the University Hospital Southampton, says the challenge could take anywhere between two to three months.


Mr Krivski started driving medical equipment over to Ukraine after Russia invaded in 2022

Talking to BBC Radio Solent ahead of his departure on Thursday 12 December, Mr Krivski said he wasn't feeling intimidated by the challenge as he's been too busy preparing.

He explained: "It's unpredictable, I'm stocking up for 100 days. I haven't had time to actually sit down and let it sink in, I just think about it in practical terms."

Mr Krivski is determined to take on the row to raise more money for fellow medics in Ukraine.

Having grown up in Russia, he says he witnessed how Ukrainians were treated from a young age, but as his mother was from the country he visited regularly - later working with Ukrainian medics in Crimea in 2014.  .  .  .

Russian casualties reach record highs in Ukraine

George Allison - December 6, 2024

The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to exact a devastating toll on Russian forces, with November 2024 marking a grim milestone in casualty figures.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), citing Ukrainian General Staff reporting, stated:

“The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in the Russia-Ukraine conflict reached a new monthly war high during November 2024. The average daily loss rate was 1,523, according to Ukrainian General Staff reporting. This is the third straight month that Russian Forces have sustained new war high average daily losses. 28 November also saw a new war high of 2,030 losses in a single day, the first time more than 2,000 have been reported.

November 2024 was also likely the most costly month of the war for Russia with a total of 45,680 casualties reported by the Ukraine General Staff. 41,980 Russian casualties were recorded in October 2024. November was the fifth straight month that Russian Forces have suffered an increase in monthly total losses.

The high rate of casualties is likely reflective of the higher tempo of Russian operations and offensives. Russia is attempting to increase the pressure on Ukrainian lines as they seek to push Ukrainian Forces back on several fronts.”

This significant escalation in Russian losses coincides with an increased tempo of Ukrainian defensive actions. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, November was also marked by substantial losses in Russian military hardware.

Ukrainian defenders reportedly destroyed over 300 tanks, almost 900 infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and 900 artillery systems.

Additionally, they neutralised several rare and expensive Russian weapons systems, including the S-400 Triumph air defence system, the Borisoglebsk-2 electronic warfare system, the Zoopark-1 counter-battery radar, and the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system.  .  .

"Liberators and protectors"


Russia launched 920 airstrikes against Ukraine over past week

Karina Bondar - 09 December 2024 | 18:37

UKRAINE, Dec 9 – Over the past week, the Russian army attacked the territory of Ukraine 920 times with various types of weapons, announced President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Russia attacks Ukraine daily with a variety of weapons, including glide bombs, missiles, artillery, and drones. They often target critical infrastructure and residential areas, causing significant damage and civilian casualties.

Zelenskyy said that over the past day, the Russians have used near 500 guided aerial bombs, over 400 attack drones, and almost 20 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

On the evening of December 4, at about 6:25 p.m., the Russian army dropped a glide bomb (KAB) on houses in Kupiansk, killing a 40-year-old man.

On the same day, an FPV drone hit a civilian car at the outskirts of Kupiansk, injuring a 65-year-old man.  .  .  .

Yeah, the Baltic States and Poland know exactly the threat that Russia poses and would be the ones stepping up with their own very high quality troops.

Russia is saying over and over that they won't settle for anything less than total conquest of Ukraine.

Why is it so hard for some people to believe them?

Russia is not far away from a total collapse economically.  They are promising high payouts to people if they join in the fight in Ukraine, and then are not paying or slow paying.  Putin is in the process of making the rubble valueless.  Everything will collapse and with it, so will Putin.  He will go as did Gorbachov did in the early 90s.

Russia is almost completely devoid of trained mechanized folks for their tanks and armored troop carriers.  This lack of proper training makes anyone operating a Russian tank an easy target. 

I say Russia is one year away from this collapse.  Russia has proved to be a paper tiger. 

The feedback I get from my sister in law in Russia is that the cemeteries are filling up with the dead from the Ukrainian battlefield.  So, despite the Russian people being told that all is well with the war and that Russia is victorious, the numbers in the cemeteries cannot be denied.

A warehouse fire in the Russian city of Novosibirsk on Thursday was linked to military infrastructure, said Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, reported on Telegram.

"It belonged to a company that supported the activities of strategically important facilities and enterprises in Russia, in particular, energy infrastructure and enterprises that produce explosion-proof equipment," Kovalenko said.

Germany ponies up another IRIS-T and additional Patriot launchers to Ukraine.  Meanwhile, Biden gives another $500 million to the DoD.

Russia's Rapid Advances Near Pokrovsk Come Amid Big Losses, ISW Reports

Amira Barkhush  |  Dec 12, 2024  |  14:18

Russian forces continue to gain tactical advantages on the southern approaches to Pokrovsk but face significant losses, severely undermining their capacity for future offensive operations, ISW  reported on December 11.

According to ISW, Russian forces are likely to attempt to encircle Ukrainian positions between Novyi Trud and Dachenske in the coming days. This maneuver would provide more favorable positions for launching attacks on the village of Shevchenko, located northwest of Novyi Trud and southwest of Pokrovsk.

"Russian forces continue to make tactical gains south of Pokrovsk as they attack into Ukrainian weak points and attempt to conduct a turning maneuver to directly assault Pokrovsk from the south," the ISW wrote.

The advance around Pokrovsk is coming at a great cost for Russia. A Ukrainian brigade officer reported that Russian forces have suffered nearly 3,000 casualties in the Pokrovsk area over the past two weeks.

“Continued Russian losses at this scale will impose a mounting cost on Russia's already-strained force generation apparatus. Russian forces may well continue making gains towards Pokrovsk, but the losses they are taking to do so will temper their ability to translate these gains into more far-reaching offensive operations,“ ISW added.  .  .

Novosibirsk is almost 2000 crow-flight miles from Ukraine. The fire there is probably due to anti-Putin forces or incompetence (the latter possibly vodka-fueled).

North Korean special forces 'kill 8 Russian troops in Ukraine friendly fire incident'

North Korean soldiers are plugging the gap in Russian ranks after tens of thousands were killed during the ongoing war in Ukraine leaving Vladimir Putin with few soldiers to draw from

Will Stewart & Anders Anglesey  |  13:19, 15 Dec 2024

Blundering North Korean special forces fighters killed eight Russian troops in a ‘friendly fire’ strike, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence agency.

The incident in Russia’s Kursk region - partially occupied by Kyiv’s forces - came when they mistook them for Ukrainians. They opened fire on a unit of Akhmat fighters, who are controlled by Putin warlord Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Russian region Chechnya, according to the HUR agency.

A key problem is the language barrier between Russian forces and the up to 12,000 North Korean soldiers brought in to assist Kremlin troops. This is a “serious obstacle”, claimed HUR.

“Due to [this] problem, North Korean soldiers opened ‘friendly fire’ on the vehicles of the so-called Akhmat battalion. The result was eight Kadyrov [fighters] killed.”  .  .  .

Not new. The Korean replacement troops have been shooting Russians since they arrived. They are extremely untrained in handling weapons and in warfighting behaviors. When they see a White guy with a gun, they do not distinguish between Ukrainian or Russian. Out of sheer fear, they would rather shoot to be safe than to risk being shot by the enemy.

BTW: Russian troops shoot plenty of Russian troops as well. This is not limited to just Koreans.
