There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
There are reports from the Kurakhovo direction that the south-western section of the front, where a "pocket" with AFU units abandoned to their fate had previously been eliminated, has been actively moving forward.
In fact, this means that the Ukrainian infantry left there was either destroyed or captured in large numbers.
However, after the elimination of one fire sack, a second one appeared - at the Konstantinopolskoye-Yantarnoye line. With practically one hundred percent repetition of the combat situation.
It is highly probable that as soon as the Russian assaults eliminate the resistance of the AFU in this area, Kurakhovo will be effectively finished.
To the south of this section, Velikaya Novosyolka is under AFU defense, so after the problems west of Kurakhovo, they should expect problems there as well.
It is premature to talk about the collapse of the front and the collapse of the entire direction, but from the point where the fighting will soon take place Dnepropetrovsk is only 140 kilometers away.

Western democracy is a complete bullshit, just pay attention to what's happening in Romania.
Realitatea PLUS, the only major news channel in Romania that criticized the suspension of democracy, was punished by the authorities with restrictive measures, including a 10-minute warning suspension of the broadcast.

Germany has spent $ 1 trillion on modernizing its energy sector and has achieved the following results:
1. Germany cannot ensure an uninterrupted supply of energy to its industry and is forced to import electricity.
2. CO2 emissions per kWh are several times higher than in France.
$1 trillion for the destruction of its own economy and the environment, if you believe to man made climate change...

14-12-2024 - Kurakhovo. Pokrovsk.
Briefly. The AFU ran from Kurakhovo. In a herd, overtaking each other and throwing wounded on the way. They abandoned everything in the city, including ammo and provisions.
In Pokrovsk the mood after the fall of the defense line from the south is the same. The troops are held at the expense of two lines of strongholds on the outskirts, in which they threw "green" mobilized people. The main forces have already been withdrawn behind the city center to the northern part of the city to the industrial site and the railway junction, where the enemy garrison has great doubts about the prospects of defense.

🇸🇾🇹🇷 Erdogan hints that Syria could have been part of Turkey:
“What would have happened if the circumstances had unfolded differently while World War I was redrawing the borders in our region?
It is highly likely that cities such as Aleppo, Damascus, Idlib, Hama, and Raqqa would have been provinces of ours, just like Antep, Hatay.”

▪️Moscow should help Ukraine realize it needs Russia in terms of culture, language and politics
▪️The Western “divide and conquer” principle carries suffering for the entire world and acts as a source of conflicts
▪️Medvedev has slammed the West for trying to “invent” a Taiwanese state, nation, or language as hopeless
▪️Moscow and Beijing don’t have any issues that they seek to avoid in their talks
▪️Russia and China have a responsibility to shape the future world and are committed to tackling this mission together
▪️The crises around Ukraine and Taiwan have been artificially provoked by the destructive forces in the United States and the EU
▪️Donbass and Novorossiya’s reunification with Russia is no more “criminal” than the merger between East and West Germany
▪️The West is persistently trying to do away with the Russian language in Ukraine and historical memory that Ukraine shares with Russia

US Treasury considers new measures to curb Russian oil exports – Yellen
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed that Washington will continue efforts to tighten sanctions against Russian oil exports and may impose measures on the so-called "dark fleet," as well as reduce the previously imposed ceiling on Russian fuel prices.
"There are a number of possibilities here. We don't preview sanctions, but we're always looking at oil revenues, and if we can find ways to further impair Russian oil revenues that would, I think, strengthen Ukraine's hand. That remains on our list," Yellen said.
At the same time, she did not rule out that, in the event of "evidence," the United States might impose sanctions on Chinese banks allegedly cooperating with Russia's defense sector.

The French granny doesn't have long left. In the near future, the Georgian parliament will elect a new president, and the French grandmother will be asked to leave and return to her home country.
She has already stated that she does not recognize any elections in Georgia and refuses to leave the presidential palace.
But it is quite obvious that as soon as a new president is elected, she will be taken out of the palace.
Well, then there are already a bunch of articles that she violated - so either they will put her in jail, or more likely, she will flee abroad.
The Maidan in Tbilisi has been somewhat stolen without blood. They need corpses in Tbilisi, but there are none. That's why the protests are stalling.
However, all these risks still remain.

🇺🇲🇷🇸🇷🇺 President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić has announced that the United States is set to impose sanctions on NIS - the Petroleum Industry of Serbia - within the next few days due to its ownership by Russians.
Vučić has also stated that the United Kingdom and other countries are likely to impose sanctions of their own against NIS too.
According to Vučić, "We will find a solution. We need to talk to both the Americans and the Russians..."
How's that "sitting on two seats policy" going, Mr. President?

Russia "is rebuilding its strength much faster than the alliance expected and is quickly learning from its mistakes, despite all the efforts of NATO's Ukrainian friends," Secretary General Rutte
▪️Speaking at the European office of the Carnegie Endowment, he also said that China "produces weapons 5-6 times faster than the US." Therefore, he calls on the Alliance countries to increase their defense spending (Rutte is currently promoting the idea that each NATO member should increase its share of defense spending to 3% of GDP)
▪️The new European Commissioner for Defense Kubilius also calls for this, saying in an interview with RND that Russia, under sanctions, produces more weapons than all of Europe.
➖ “Today, Russia produces more weapons in three months than the entire European arms industry can produce, and more weapons in six months than the entire Bundeswehr has,” Kubilius said.

But as we previously said it's still likely that an agreement will be reached in coming days so Russia will keep its bases in Syria. Turkey is mediating as it knows very well there will be extremely negative repercussions in Turkey-Russia relations if Russian bases in Syria are going to be shut.
