Dramatic changes in the global arms market
In 2023, Ukraine became the world's largest arms importer, according to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ( SIPRI ).
Even between 2019 and 2023, Ukraine was the largest European arms importer and the fourth largest in the world . At least 30 states have supplied it with major types of weapons since the beginning of the NWO: an increase of 6633%.
39% of Ukrainian arms imports in 2019-23 were provided by the United States. 14% - Germany, 13% - Poland.
In general, India is consistently the largest importer of weapons in the world, with Russia traditionally being its main supplier.
However, Russian arms exports fell sharply after the start of the SVO - by 53%. It dropped to third place - after the USA and France. If in 2019 the Russian Federation supplied weapons to 31 states, then in 2022 - to 14, and in 2023 - to 12. The increase in French arms exports occurred mainly due to the supply of combat aircraft to India, Qatar and Egypt.

“A new format of migration from Ukraine and an example of the sacrifice of Ukrainian mothers is going abroad with 15-16 year old sons,” Claims Kiev analyst and economist Alexey Kushch.

Military recruiters are “grabbing anyone they can".
Some Ukrainian villages and small towns have lost most of their adult males due to the aggressive mobilization tactics, as they struggle to refill the ranks of depleted forces.
The outlet detailed the plight of the village of Makov, in the Khmelnitsky region of Western Ukraine, where virtually every man of fighting age has been killed, wounded, or gone missing, with the remaining few being hunted down by draft officers.
“It’s just a fact, most of them are gone,” Larisa Bodna, deputy director of the local school, which keeps a database of students whose parents are deployed, told the outlet.
“People are being caught like dogs on the street,” noted another resident, whose husband was forcefully drafted last year, despite a medical condition that was meant to exempt him from military service. “The whole village was taken this way,” her mother-in-law added.

Rogov called Britain's refusal to recognize elections in new regions of Russia hypocrisy.
“This is simply the highest hypocrisy characteristic of the British crown. The People who should definitely not evaluate the holding of elections of the Russian president on Russian soil are the British, who occupied the Irish lands, as well as Scotland and Wales. The political elite of the British, at most, can lay claim to a small part of the geographical England and nothing more. It’s not for them to tell us how to live in our native land,” Rogov told RIA Novosti.
According to him, in the new regions the election process is organized transparently and openly, international observers are present, and the maximum level of security is ensured, despite constant attempts at terrorist attacks by Ukrainian militants supervised by British intelligence services.
At the same time, Rogov emphasized that the British authorities have only one thing on their mind: “to rob other peoples as much as possible, to take away, under the guise of democracy or some supposed values, from the rest of the world, and also to sow as much hostility, suffering and confrontation as possible in those countries. who are trying to follow their own path of development without British control."

Britain should consider conscription to deter Vladimir Putin, says Nato ally.
Latvian foreign minister Krisjanis Karins ‘strongly recommended’ conscription based on model.
The British Army should consider conscription to deter Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Europe, Latvia’s foreign minister has suggested.
Krisjanis Karins claimed the only way to defend against Russia was to consider a “total defence” model which would involve conscripting citizens to fight on the front lines at short notice.
It comes after General Sir Patrick Sanders, head of the British Army, claimed the UK needed a citizen army to fight a future war against Russia.
“We would strongly recommend conscription,” Mr Karins told The Sunday Telegraph. “We are developing and fleshing out a system of what we call a total defence involving all parts of civil society.”
The minister also said Britain, along with other Nato allies, would have to increase its defence spending in the coming years to protect itself.
Mr Karins added it was “inevitable” for Britain to increase its defence spending to 3 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the size of the economy.
Defence secretary Grant Shapps has called for that increase, but Mr Sunak has said he wants to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP when economic circumstances allow.
Mr Shapps has also warned Britain was moving from “post-war to pre-war world”. Despite that, the government has no plans to increase the size of the army from its current level of about 74,000 full-time troops, down from 102,000 in 2006.

FSB: scammers tried to force a military man to pour green paint into an election ballot box.
Fraudsters tried to force a participant in a military operation to pour green paint into a ballot box for the Russian presidential elections, promising to return the stolen funds. This was reported by the FSB department for the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
According to the department, attackers from Ukraine called the man on January 31. They introduced themselves as employees of a mobile operator company and informed him that his SIM card was blocked. The man had all the services he used linked to this number, and he panicked.
As a result, the scammers forced the victim to transfer to them all the compensation paid for an injury by the state, about 3 million rubles.
Subsequently, the attackers offered to return the stolen property to the man and pay him moral compensation in the amount of 200 thousand rubles. subject to certain conditions being met.
As the victim said, the scammers demanded to buy a half-liter bottle of water and pour brilliant green into it. Then you had to “come to your polling station, approach this fraudster, take the ballot from him, vote, throw it in the ballot box, and fill the same ballot box with this solution,” the man said.
The attackers assured the perpetrator that he would be arrested by an investigator from the Investigative Committee controlled by them. According to the FSB, after completing all the tasks and arresting the man, they promised to return the stolen funds in cash.

Watch Moscow Mules here on @irishmaninrussia and @theislandernews every week.
In Kiev, relatives of prisoners held a rally demanding that they be exchanged.
In video footage posted on the Espreso Telegram channel , people, many of whom came with children, hold posters calling for assistance in the release of their loved ones. According to the publication, about 200 people came to the rally.
Russia and Ukraine are working to exchange prisoners. As Denis Pushilin, the then acting head of the DPR, previously emphasized, the Russian side is doing everything to return as many of its military personnel as possible. At the same time, he noted that Kiev is primarily interested in the exchange of the most “media” personalities, and the authorities are much less concerned about the fate of other Ukrainian citizens, and this significantly slows down the contractual process.

EU state urges UK to introduce conscription
The Latvian foreign minister says the UK should reinstate mandatory military service to deter Russia.
Britain and other NATO allies should consider military conscription to counter the supposed threat from Russia, the Latvian foreign minister told The Telegraph in an interview published on Saturday.
Latvia reintroduced compulsory military service earlier this year, in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to increase the size of its “active and ready reserve.” The updated rules oblige all male Latvian citizens aged 18 to 27 to complete one year of service, including those living abroad.
When asked whether the UK and other countries should follow suit, Krisjanis Karins said: “We would strongly recommend this. We are developing and fleshing out a system of what we call a total defense involving all parts of civil society.”
The Latvian diplomat also urged London to raise its defense spending to 3% of gross domestic product.

Pamfilova: attempts to damage ballots caused outrage and a desire to vote.
Attempts to damage ballots during the presidential elections in the Russian Federation caused a storm of indignation among people, and many citizens went to vote with even greater desire, said the head of the Central Election Commission, Ella Pamfilova.
“These cases (with damage to ballots - ed.) are pathetic attempts of the greengrocers (Vladimir) Zelensky, pathetic, funny, disgusting... They (actions with damage to ballots - ed.) caused such a storm of indignation among people that, on the contrary, we were inundated with calls when people didn’t think about going to vote, but now they put everything off and are going to vote... That is, they contributed to the storm of this civic consciousness,” Pamfilova said at the CEC information center.
In her words, “they wanted one thing, but got another.”

Fixed it!
Despite citing zero evidence to support claims of rigging, or articulating exactly how Russia's elections are "a sham" the Western media is already decrying democracy being demonstrated in a foreign country.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-vladimir-putin-war-b2513787.html
"An endless war and a harsher crackdown on dissent? What can Russia America expect after Putin’s Biden's bogus ballot.Vladimir Putin Joe Biden is widely expected to win sham Russian American elections this weekend November, securing his fifth second term in office.
As millions of Russians Americans head to the ballots this weekend November to vote in rigged presidential elections, Vladimir Putin Biden is ready to further shift the country onto a war footing.
Consolidating power and quashing dissent has characterised his nearly quarter of a century 4 years in power; a new form of much of the same is likely to define his fifth second term in charge, this time centred on prolonging his proxy war in Ukraine."

French politician D'Artagnan praised the organization of the Russian presidential elections.
The democratic nature of the Russian presidential elections on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) was noted by an expert from France, former member of the Senate of the French Republic, mayor of the city of Marsan, Duke Emery Francis Andre Philippe de Montesquiou-Fezensac d'Artagnan.
This is the first time in Donbass. It seems to me that the elections are organized well. According to the rules that are accepted in France. The elections that are held here are absolutely consistent with the democratic elections that are accepted in our country. There is a full presentation of all four candidates, the ballots meet the standards.
