If that were really the case, I rather doubt the Daily Mail would be privy to that fact.

Joe Biden is preparing to send another $725 MILLION in weapons to Ukraine, including land mines, per Reuters

This comes just HOURS after reports Biden is trying to force Zelensky to lower the draft age from 25 to 18.

Honestly, in an existential war against a ruthless invader, that should have been done in 2022, just as the U.S. did in the Civil War and both World Wars.

50 more days until Biden is displaced.  And these 50 days could be the most dangerous for nuclear exchange in the history of man to date.  The USA has a man dead from the neck up as POTUS, and Russia has a leader that is not making sound decisions either, who perhaps is actually unstable.

And our worthless Congress is abdicating their responsibility by removing Biden under the 25th Amendment.  Why?   Because Harris might just be worse than Biden.  From my view, both should be removed, and the Speaker made interim POTUS.  Our government is no longer functional at any level.  That includes all three branches.

Nuclear war could happen at any moment.  It would not take many dominoes to fall for that outcome.

Putin Expands $3,800 Sign-Up Bonus to National Guard Enlisting to Fight in Ukraine

Amira Barkhush  |  Nov 26, 2024  |  16:40

Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced that the 400,000-ruble ($3,800) sign-on bonus, initially offered to new military recruits, will now also apply to National Guard personnel signing up for service in Ukraine.

According to Putin’s decree, the bonuses are expected to be available to individuals who sign a one-year or longer contract with the Russian National Guard between August 1 and December 31, 2024. However, cadets currently enrolled in National Guard or Defense Ministry training programs are excluded from eligibility.

Putin’s directive revises a July order that initially introduced the payments to address troop shortages. Alongside federal incentives, numerous Russian regions provide additional financial bonuses, which have grown over time in response to declining enlistment rates.

At the beginning of October, authorities in Russia's Belgorod region were offering a record one-time payment of 3 million rubles  .  .  .

https://united24media.com/latest-news/putin-expands-3800-sign-up-bonus-to-national-guard-enlisting-to-fight-in-ukraine-4020

Are they actually paying those bonuses, or just promising them now, to be paid in the far future in much devalued roubles?

How Many Storm Shadow Missiles Does the UK Have, and What Does It Mean for Ukraine?
How Many Storm Shadow Missiles Does the UK Have, and What Does It Mean for Ukraine?

How UK’s Storm Shadow missiles are reshaping Ukraine’s military strategies and their operational effectiveness against Russian positions.

Audrey MacAlpine  |  Nov 28, 2024  |  12:30

The Storm Shadow missile has become a critical asset in Ukraine’s arsenal since the United Kingdom began supplying them to Kyiv in May 2023. As discussions about the use of these weapons intensify, many wonder how many Storm Shadow missiles the UK and Ukraine possess and how this impacts Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities.  .  .  .

How many Storm Shadows does the UK have?
According to reports, the UK originally had approximately 900 Storm Shadow missiles for its military. However, many of these have already been used or are nearing the end of their operational lifespan. Current estimates suggest that the UK currently has about 600 operational missiles, with some reports indicating that hundreds have been supplied to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.  .  .

Russian troops conduct 35 assaults on Kharkiv and Kupiansk axes

Yana Sliemzina - 28 November 2024 | 23:31

UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 28 — Russian troops conducted 11 attacks on Ukrainian positions in the Kharkiv direction and 24 attacks on the Kupiansk axis, reports General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the evening briefing.

North of Kharkiv Oblast, the Russian army wants to push towards Kharkiv close enough to reach the city with tube artillery and create “a buffer zone” for Belgorod Oblast. In the east and southeast of Kharkiv Oblast, Moscow aims to seize Kupiansk and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, which it already occupied in 2022, and take control of the railway infrastructure there.

General Staff reports that, on the Kharkiv axis, Russia attacked the Armed Forces’ positions near Vovchansk, Tykhe, and Hlyboke and bombed Lyptsi and Neskuchne with four air bombs.

On Kupiansk axis, military reports, Russia attacked near Fyholivka, Kolisnykivka, Zahryzove, Holubivka, Kindrashivka, Zelenyi Hai, Raihorodka, Lozova, and Krukhliakivka. Ukrainian forces repelled 21 attacks, and three clashes are still ongoing.

Overall, General Staff reports that on all sections of the frontline, there have been 188 combat clashes today. Russian troops launched two missile strikes using 97 rockets, launched 23 airstrikes that dropped 44 glide bombs on Ukraine and shelled the AFU’s positions and settlements nearly 3,900 times.  .  .  .

Russian troops can’t advance in Vovchansk, intensify glide bomb attacks instead

Yana Sliemzina - 27 November 2024 | 14:50

UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 27 — Russian troops can’t advance but increase glide bomb and artillery attacks on the Ukrainian army’s positions in Vovchansk and near it on the Kharkiv axis, said Yevhenii Romanov, the spokesman for the “Kharkiv” group of forces, in the state telethon on November 26.

Almost 80% of the buildings of Vovchansk were damaged or destroyed after Russia began its new ground offensive on Kharkiv Oblast in May 2024, revealed the investigation by Bellingcat and AFP, published on October 28.

Ukrainian troops stopped the Russian push into the north of the region in the summer of 2024. Fighting near Lyptsi and in Vovchansk continues today.

Romanov said that, in Vovchansk, the combat is constant, but the Russian army doesn’t have advantages because “they can’t move in large columns [utilizing] the heavy armored machinery or advance in large numbers because Vovchansk’s terrain became very particular after the period of long combat.”   .  .  .

 Russia loses 2,030 troops in 24 hours — highest death toll in a day, Ukraine says
By Emily Crane   
Published Nov. 29, 2024, 9:26 a.m. ET

Russia lost more than 2,030 troops in the last 24 hours — the highest death toll for a single day in the ongoing war, Ukraine’s military claimed Friday.

The record daily high of fatalities surpasses the 1,950 Russian deaths recorded on Nov. 12, according to the Ukrainian General Staff of the Armed Forces.

More than 300 weapons and military equipment were also destroyed overnight by Ukrainian forces, the officials said. 

The death toll figure couldn’t be independently verified and Moscow hasn’t publicly commented on the apparent losses.

Ukraine claims more than 738,000 Russian troops have now been killed so far in its nearly two-year war.

Whether north of 700K killed or "just" around 500K, that's a really large % of Russia's economically most productive people. The economic effects of this loss of life - plus God knows how many more maimed and disabled - will affect Russia's economy for several decades.

Most of the people interviewed by 1320, are older and have their "pensions", it's all they care about. A little known fact I found out. Most people older than say, late 50's, are retired and get a government pension. So what do they care if the young get sent to die? As long as it's not their kids I guess, but then again, many are probably cowered into agreeing with the pro-war line.

Amid the monstrous heaps of twisted metal, pools of congealed oil and walls pockmarked by shrapnel, one incongruous detail catches my eye.

Patches of snow. Inside a thermal power station.

With another Ukrainian winter arriving, the vast turbine hall is full of activity. Engineers, dwarfed by the enormous scale of the place, repairing what they can, removing what they can’t, after a recent Russian air strike hit this facility.

For security reasons, we’re not allowed to say where we are or when the visit occurred. Nor can we describe the extent of the damage, or whether the plant is still working.

Russia, we’re told, collects every scrap of information in order to draw up its next target list.

On Thursday, Moscow mounted its second mass attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in less than two weeks.

Ten such attacks this year have placed an enormous burden on the entire energy system. ...

Has anyone ever thought of flooding Russia with counterfeit rubles to further destabilize Russian currency and inflation?

In exchange for official NATO protection.  Do you really want that?

That's going to be the trade-off, like it or not.

Regardless, that WAS, more or less, the original agreement in 1994.

Nearly 40% of Russians Approve of a Nuclear Strike on Ukraine, Poll Finds

Maryna Kulakova  |  Nov 29, 2024  |  17:12

The share of Russians supporting nuclear strike on Ukraine has risen, with 39% of respondents now considering the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine acceptable, according to Russian media citing a survey by the Levada Center.

Of those, 11% strongly support a nuclear strike on Ukraine, while 28% believe such an action could "probably be justified."

This represents a new high since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

"Gradually, these discussions [from the Russian government about about the potential use of nuclear weapons] are leading to an increasing number of people who believe that the use of nuclear weapons is acceptable and, in fact, morally justified," Aleksei Levinson, head of the social and cultural research department at the Levada Center, said at the "Country and World: Russian Realities-2024" conference.

As a result, public fear of nuclear weapons use is diminishing, and the idea of "What's the big deal?" is gaining traction, with nearly 40% of respondents adopting this view, Levinson noted.  .  .  .

Russian S-400 Air Defense System Reportedly Targeted in Occupied Crimea

Maryna Kulakova  |  Nov 29, 2024  |  16:02

On November 29, a position of the S-400 "Triumf" air defense system in temporarily occupied Crimea was targeted, according to GEOINT specialists from CyberBoroshnо.

The location, near a field that was struck, had previously been the site of a stationary S-400 position, which had ceased to be used after frequent missile and drone strikes on Crimea.

However, the site and its surrounding area are situated at a high elevation, indicating that the air defense system may have been relocated there ton November 29 to take advantage of the strategic topography for launching fire, according to CyberBoroshnо.

‘It’s Exploding!’ A Russian Exclaims As Ukraine’s American-Made ATACMS Rain Down On A Front-Line Air Base

Khalino is the closest major airfield to the Kursk battlefield.

David Axe  |  Nov 25, 2024  |  03:52pm EST

When the news broke last week that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden had authorized Ukraine to fire American-made Army Tactical Missile System rockets at targets in around Kursk Oblast in western Russia, the Russian air force braced for the ATACMS, each packing up to 950 submunitions, to rain down.

The storm finally rolled in early Monday morning. “What the bleep? It’s exploding!” a Russian servicemember exclaimed in a video as at least one of the 3,700-pound ATACMS burst over Khalino air base, in Kursk 70 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border. An ATACMS ranges as far as 190 miles.

The raid may have had the effect of “potentially temporarily putting the airfield out of action,” reported Frontelligence Insight, a Ukrainian analysis group. That’s good news for the 20,000-strong Ukrainian force holding a 250-square-mile salient around the town of Sudzha 50 miles southwest of Khalino. That force is expecting a massive Russian assault in the coming days.

Khalino is the closest major airfield to the Kursk battlefield, so it makes sense that the Russian air force has been staging its main ground-attack jets, subsonic Sukhoi Su-25s, at the base. The Russian Su-25 force has been badly bled by Ukrainian air defenses in the 33 months of Russia’s wider war on Ukraine:  .  .  .
