There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has spoken out against the use of anti-personnel landmines in the Ukraine conflict.
“Anti-personnel mines represent a clear and present danger for civilians. Even after fighting stops, these horrifying and indiscriminate weapons can remain, trapping generations of people in fear,” he said in a statement, published on the UN’s website.
From the BBC.
Why is "UK mercenary" in quotation marks? That's what he is. A mercenary. To suggest otherwise would state that he is a current serving British soldier and in Ukraine under British deployment and orders.
Is that what the BBC is suggesting instead? Because if that is what they are suggesting and that he is not a mercenary, then Russia would need to immediately declare Britain as an active combatant in this war.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇬🇧A British Army veteran was caught in the Kursk region, who served in the 22nd Signal Regiment as a private signalman from 2019 to 2023.
After his dismissal, he applied to the International Legion of Ukraine, arrived from London to Krakow, Poland, and then to the Ukrainian-Polish border near the village of Medyka, where the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint is located.
Overall, the footage will be useful and will be able to tell a lot of interesting things about communications and its structure in the British army.
🇷🇺 A new nuclear deterrence doctrine is the Russian Federation’s response to NATO’s further provocation, which has authorised and initiated the use of long-range missile systems on Russian territory, attacking the country.
In the simplest and most elementary logic, this is called ‘yet another declaration of war’. In military doctrine, it is a provocation aimed at verifying certain positions of the enemy regarding certain necessary elements in the strategic equation. Everything is bordering on the absurd, because in such a delicate phase as the transition between the Biden and Trump governments, the American establishment seems to have nothing better to do than to throw the whole of Europe into the precipice of destruction. But they are smarter in Moscow.
How much longer will Europe follow the Western idiocracy? Has the time not come to choose to be on the right side of history?

🇩🇪 Bosch to Cut 5,500 Jobs as Auto Industry Slump Deepens
A Bosch spokeswoman confirmed the company aims to eliminate 5,500 positions globally, including 3,800 posts in Germany.
“The automotive industry is suffering from significant overcapacity. Competition and price pressure have continued to intensify.”
The focus of Western OSINT accounts this week is the recently spotted new mysterious Chinese ship with a flat deck.
Interestingly, this vessel does not belong to the PLA, but to COSCO (the main Chinese civilian shipping company).
The current theory is that this ship is a test platform for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with an emphasis on testing vertical landing, and has already received a tentative name, which can be translated as "drone carrier". According to some estimates and on the basis of the leaks, it is assumed that up to ten swarms of UAVs, including attack drones and kamikaze drones, can be launched from this vessel at a time.
In the same photo, you can also see the recently introduced USV (unmanned surface ship).

"Europe is facing a new energy crisis", Bloomberg.
Europe, which passed last warm winter without shocks, discovered that this does not always happen - and without Russian gas, it is on the verge of a new energy collapse.
"Rapidly dwindling gas reserves and the impending reduction in supplies from Moscow create the prerequisites for a new energy crisis in Europe, which has still not recovered from the strongest shocks of two years ago.

Following the Oreshnik test, Vladimir Putin held a meeting in the Kremlin with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the military-industrial complex, and missile weapons developers
Main lines:
— The Russian Federation will continue testing the latest missiles, including in combat conditions, depending on threats to its security.
— The President expressed his gratitude to the developers and all the teams that participated in the creation of "Oreshnik". The developers will be nominated for state awards.
— The system is not a modernization of old Soviet systems, it is the result of work of specialists from the new Russia. The issues of import substitution have been resolved.
— The domestic school of rocket science has enormous potential.
— Russia has a stockpile of ready-to-use systems like Oreshnik. There are no similar weapons in the world yet.
— The future of Russia largely depends on the solution of the special operation tasks
— “Oreshnik” is another guarantor of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Russia.

Oreshnik Transforms War, Zelensky Demands More Useless Air Defence, UK MoD Seethes, Russia Advances

🇺🇦🇺🇸Ukraine is unlikely to receive from the US the THAAD anti-aircraft missile system, capable of shooting down Russian ballistic missiles of the Oreshnik type.
This was stated by military expert Ivan Stupak.
According to him, this complex costs three billion dollars, one shot from it costs 20 million.
"Ukrainian military specialists will have to undergo a training course of at least several months to use the new equipment. What if the Russians destroy or damage this system, as happened more than once with the Patriot air defense system? Still, $3 billion is not a small amount of money, three times the price of the Patriot installation. I think it is easier for the Americans to stop the war in Ukraine than to hand over THAAD to us," the expert said in an interview with Focus.
Earlier, Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry was already negotiating with the Americans on the provision of air defense systems capable of shooting down Russian medium-range missiles.
SUNDAY REVIEW
Five events that have already happened
1. First on the list, of course, is the firing of the ‘Oreshnik,' Russia's new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile carrying a MIRV payload, used (this time) with non-nuclear warheads. Europe is at a loss, speculating how much damage the missile would cause with nuclear warheads, whether it can be shot down at all, and how quickly the missiles would reach the capitals of the Old World. Let me answer all three: the damage would be catastrophic; no, you cannot shoot them down using current-day systems; and it will be a matter of minutes. No, bomb shelters will not save you. The only hope is that Russia, out of the kindness of its heart, gives advanced warning about the launch.
So how about you stop supporting the war, instead.
2. Responding to the launch of the Oreshnik missile, Ukrainian propagandists came up with their own special ‘missile defense' of the imaginary kind: according to them, the missile simply doesn't exist. Who needs rocket science, anyway? Just shut your eyes and nothing bad will happen. If you can't see the problem, it doesn't exist!
3. The Western media are tripping over themselves to insist the United States arm puppet-state Ukraine with nuclear weapons. An excellent idea, especially in light of Russia's updated nuclear deterrence doctrine.
Now let's come up with a list of Washington's potential enemies with whom we could share our own nuclear technologies.
4. Speaking in the Rada, the green-rag wearing banderite announced his new ten-point 'resilience plan' for Ukraine. What they really need is a 1-point plan that just says, "Stop snorting white stuff and face facts." Ukraine's parliament is full of sellouts ready and waiting to pack their bags when faced with a tough scenario (see paragraph 1).
5. And last but not least. US Senator Lindsey Graham, a die-hard Russophobe and overall degenerate (listed in Russia’s register of terrorists and extremists), said Washington should sanction and destroy the economies of countries assisting the ICC with the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
So, it appears that the US recognizes the power of the ICC – a totally illegitimate organization, by the way – when it comes to specific countries and leaders, but is willing to go absolutely medieval on any other nation that complies with the ICC's rulings, especially when they're aimed at US satellites and their public figures.
Nothing quite like a consistent and honest stance.
🇺🇦Evidence of mass murders of civilians in the city of Selidovo by the Kiev regime
International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis (Chairman - M.S. Grigoriev) from representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries around the world continues to collect evidence of the crimes of the Kiev regime.
During the flight from Selidovo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out mass killings of civilians. We found bodies of civilians with traces of gunshots to the head, heart and chest area on the streets, in five-story buildings, in the private sector.
This is confirmed by witnesses of the crimes. Many of them had acquaintances, neighbors or relatives shot, some of them right before their eyes.
According to the facts revealed so far, the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed at least 100 civilians, probably significantly more.
For example, the bodies of three civilians were found in a house at 89 Kuchurinskaya Street. They all died from gunshot wounds to the head.
⚠️Warning! The video contains footage demonstrating the atrocities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and evidence of mass murder: doctors describe in detail shots to the head.
Viewing is not recommended for children and people with increased sensitivity.

🇺🇸❌ This meme of Peter Thiel barely scratches the surface. As said in our earlier post (here) - when you start to look at Trump and Vance’s connection with Thiel it speaks to a Presidency that is likely beyond captured by the DeepState and Zionist’s favourite operative, Theil.
The theatre and illusion of choice marches on for the DeepState, but at least you got the illusion of having “your guy” (Trump) this time. Maybe Trump has a trick up his sleeve but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Scott Bennett is wearing a camouflage jacket. Russell and I interviewed him for Sputnik in the lobby of the hotel where Scott was staying when he came to Donetsk.
“It's possible Scott Bennett was murdered. Quite possibly for telling the truth about the conflict in Ukraine.
Scott was the author of our documentaries and one of our top military experts. He appeared regularly on RT and Sputnik. A retired Pentagon military intelligence officer, he traveled to Donbass and showed what was really happening there.
After Scott sent Congress his report on Kiev's crimes in the Belgorod region, he wrote to friends that he was not suicidal. Just in case something happened to him.
He never mentioned anywhere that he was sick with anything. At all. Two weeks ago, he was still in great shape. And suddenly out of the blue he dies of cancer, which he never had, according to his many different friends,” Margarita Simonyan wrote in her TG channel.
Today in Georgia a sluggish bunch of "protesters" moved to Heroes Square in the center of Tbilisi and blocked the passage in protest against the results of the parliamentary elections.

China is considering the possibility of building a railway between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans passing through Bolivia and Brazil, Bolivian President Luis Arce said on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
The proposed railway, often referred to as the Central Bio-Oceanic Railway Corridor, is an ambitious project connecting BRICS partners Brazil and Bolivia to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans via Peru.

The escalation of tensions in Ukraine has led to an increase in gas prices by about 45% this year. And although the price level is still far below the records of 2022, they are high enough to lead to a worsening crisis that will affect households.
Gas storage facilities are a real lifeline during the coldest periods, but this year stocks are rapidly declining after demand for heating jumped due to the cold, whereas before that, against the background of drought, gas was used to generate electricity.
Europe has been struggling for more than two years to secure its energy system, which is facing challenges due to the complete abandonment of Russian fossil fuels. The situation may worsen, as gas supplies that would help replenish reserves in 2024 are expected only next year.
"We still have problems with gas supplies," said Markus Krebber, CEO of the German energy company RWE. "If we really want to be independent of Russian gas, we need to have more imported capacity, and we'll probably see it again this winter because gas storage is emptying pretty quickly because we have a cold start to winter."

In Ukraine, they have already begun to speculate what will happen to Kiev if Oreshnik hits it
Ukrainian blogger and chemist Repich calculated that the full charge of one missile of six blocks, in a nuclear configuration, would be too much for the capital itself. According to him, five would be enough for the city.
The sixth block would be enough for some military town near Kiev.
"It is almost impossible to survive, especially if there are six blocks, then I have already calculated that if they are dropped so closely together, then five of them would be enough for Kiev," he delighted residents on local TV.

🇩🇪⛽️🎲 Germany’s Gas Games: Merkel Breaks Her Silence
As Germany plunges deeper into recession and the rubble of its once-mighty industrial base piles up, Angela Merkel has reappeared to remind everyone how the script was written. In a rare interview with Der Spiegel, the former chancellor defended her decision to secure cheap Russian gas for Germany’s economy, while taking a jab at Ukraine and Poland for their hypocrisy.
Merkel laid it out plainly: Poland and Ukraine were happy to profit from transit fees as Russian gas flowed through their territories. They had no moral objections when the money was rolling in. But once Nord Stream bypassed their middleman racket, the outcry became deafening. Merkel rightly pointed out the absurdity of framing Germany’s reliance on Russian gas as some great geopolitical sin, given that other countries continue to buy from Moscow even today. The EU, in fact, still receives approximately 5% of its gas imports via Ukraine’s transit network, a figure that will evaporate when the agreement expires on December 31.
And the timing couldn’t be more damning. Germany’s economy has been in freefall since 2023, with GDP contracting by 0.3% this year and projected to shrink by another 0.1% in 2024, according to the European Commission. Corporate bankruptcies have surged, energy costs remain sky-high, and industry is fleeing the country in droves. Merkel’s warning about the consequences of high energy prices for Germany has come true, but it’s her successors (Olaf Scholz) who have failed to navigate the fallout.
The gas pipelines were more than just energy infrastructure; they were lifelines for Germany’s industrial might and symbols of a Europe that could, in theory, stand on its own two feet. By 2021, Nord Stream alone supplied half of Germany’s annual gas demand and accounted for 16% of the EU’s total natural gas needs. Its destruction in 2022 wasn’t just an attack on infrastructure but an act of economic warfare, locking Germany into dependency on overpriced U.S. LNG and ensuring its submission to DC’s dictates. And where was Berlin during this act of sabotage? Silent, complicit, neutered.
Merkel’s remarks also expose the lie of the Minsk agreements. By her own admission, these deals weren’t about peace, they were about buying time for Ukraine to arm itself against Russia. The hypocrisy of lecturing Germany about energy independence while orchestrating forever war on its doorstep is staggering.
As the December deadline looms for Ukraine’s gas transit agreement with Russia, Europe faces yet another crisis of its own making. The EU still receives 5% of its gas imports through Ukraine, but when that tap runs dry, the fallout will be yet another chapter in the continent’s economic suicide pact.
Germany’s upcoming election is the last chance for its people to wake up. Merkel’s confessions are a warning: the system is rigged, and Berlin’s strings are being pulled from across the Atlantic. The theater of democracy won’t save Germany from its current path. If Germans don’t reject the sham and demand a realignment with Russia, BRICS, and the Global Majority, then their fate as a hollowed-out vassal state will be sealed.
