🇱🇹🇷🇺🇺🇦It is "too early" for Western countries to open the champagne after US President Joe Biden approved strikes with American weapons deep into Russian territory, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said.
"Why am I not opening the champagne yet? Maybe because we don't know how many missiles the Ukrainians actually have. So the question is whether they have enough missiles to make a difference on the battlefield," he said upon arrival at a meeting of EU foreign ministers.
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦The French publication Le Figaro has removed information that France and Britain, following the US, have allowed Ukraine to launch strikes with its Storm Shadow (SCALP-EG) missiles deep into Russian territory.
In turn, The Times writes that the US may not yet have given consent to Ukraine’s use of Storm Shadow missiles.
It should be noted that despite their British origin, the Storm Shadow missiles use American technology, which requires the UK to obtain additional permission from the US.
Thus, so far, only the information about Biden’s permission to launch ATACMS missile strikes has been reliably confirmed, with Axios clarifying that this decision only concerns the Kursk region.

🇺🇸Another comment from the Trump camp criticizing Biden's likely decision to allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes against Russia.
Well-known Trumpist, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, accused Biden of trying to start World War III.
"As he leaves office, Joe Biden is dangerously trying to start World War III by allowing Ukraine to use American long-range missiles against Russia.
The American people on November 5th gave a mandate against these latest American decisions and do NOT want to fund or fight foreign wars. We want to solve our own problems. Enough, this has to stop," Greene wrote.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Trump may reconsider Biden's decision to strike American weapons deep into Russia - representative of Trump's transition team.
It's just a pity that no one will listen to him.
Plus, legally, he is not yet president and cannot make any decisions.
🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️The ATACMS missiles will likely initially be used against Russian and North Korean forces to protect Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region of western Russia, officials said, the New York Times reported.
While officials said they do not expect the shift to fundamentally alter the course of the war, one goal of the policy change, they said, is to signal to the North Koreans that their military is vulnerable and that they should not send more of it.
Officials said that while the Ukrainians would likely first use the missiles against Russian and North Korean forces threatening Ukrainian troops in Kursk, Biden could allow them to use the weapons elsewhere.
Some U.S. officials have said they fear Ukraine's use of missiles across the border could prompt Russian President Vladimir Putin to retaliate with force against the United States and its coalition partners.
But other U.S. officials said they believed those concerns were overblown.

🇺🇸Trump has nominated oilman Chris Wright, who denies the existence of a climate crisis, as his energy secretary.
"There is no climate crisis, and we are not in the midst of an energy transition," he declared, saying the climate movement around the world would "collapse under its own weight."
The media reports that in 2019 he even drank hydraulic fracturing fluid, claiming that it was not hazardous to the environment.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Another Western publication writes that Biden's decision to lift the ban on long-distance strikes only applies to the Kursk region.
The permission was communicated to Ukraine about three days ago, the website Axios reported.
The motive, the source said, was to deter North Korea from sending more troops to Russia.
"American officials hope that if North Korean troops in Kursk are attacked, Pyongyang might reconsider its decision to send troops to Russia and the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk will fail," the article says.
The New York Times also wrote yesterday that North Korean troops could become the priority target of ATACMS in the Kursk region.
It was not specified whether this meant that the strikes would only be carried out on them, and that Russian facilities would not be affected.
🇺🇸Donald Trump's son has criticized Biden's likely decision to allow Kyiv to carry out long-range strikes against Russia.
He said it was provoking World War III and called the decision's authors "imbeciles."
"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure WWIII starts before my father has a chance to bring peace and save lives. Trillions in profits to make. No one cares about lives! Imbeciles!" Trump Jr. wrote.
But the son of one of the Democrats' sponsors, billionaire George Soros, Alex, called permission to launch long-range missiles "great news."

🇺🇸Trump's inner circle.
Musk, Kennedy, Trump Jr. and Johnson.
At the moment, Trump's main criterion is maximum loyalty. Those who did not ditch him in the period 2020-2024. There are not many such people, so some rather bizarre characters emerge in his team, since the bench is not very large. It is all the more interesting to see how long such a motley team can hold out.
🇰🇵🇷🇺🇺🇦North Korea may send up to 100,000 of its soldiers to Russia.
Bloomberg reports this with reference to US intelligence estimates.
We are talking about rotations, and not about the one-time introduction of such a contingent, the agency clarifies.
🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian fiber-optic drones pose a "big problem" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a senior officer of the 79th separate airborne brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said.
"They have now started to launch the so-called "FPV on a wire". We have started to record such drones in our direction. There have already been several cases of use. Electronic warfare does not work against such a drone. This is a very big problem. The Russians, as I understand it, will soon start to make these drones on an industrial scale," he said.
🇵🇱🇷🇺🇺🇦"The next weeks will be decisive not only for the war itself, but also for our future," Polish Prime Minister Tusk said, commenting on Scholz's call to Putin.
At the same time, he criticized the German chancellor for communicating with the Russian president.
"Nobody will stop Putin with phone calls. Yesterday's attack, one of the biggest in this war, proved that telephone diplomacy cannot replace real support for Ukraine from the entire West," Tusk wrote in X.
Let us recall that Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau supported Scholz .
The Chancellor himself made it clear today that his call was connected with Trump's victory and the expectation of opening negotiations with Russia.
🇺🇸American media reports that the new Trump administration is going to conduct an official investigation into the US flight from Afghanistan in August 2021 and bring those involved to justice. The scenes of the flight turned out to be no less epic than during the US flight from Vietnam.
With a certain desire, it will not be difficult to bring a number of people to justice for this disgrace - abandoned weapons, abandoned military equipment, abandoned ammunition (in total, the property of 6 army corps and reinforcement units + special forces was lost), abandoned puppets and accomplices, abandoned drug labs and poppy fields. And much, much more. Ending with the triumphant victory of the Taliban, which was declared "defeated" back in the 2000s.
It looks like Mark Milley will be reminded of his position during the 2020 elections and subsequent statements that he deliberately helped hide important facts from Trump, because the president could not be trusted with responsible decisions.
