The richest presidential administration in modern history: At least 13 billionaires will serve in Trump administration, ABC News
The combined net worth of the richest members of his administration could top $460 billion. Under federal ethics laws, wealthy Trump nominees and appointees will have to divest stocks that could pose a conflict of interest and will be required to disclose their financial information.
Which I am sure they won’t disclose
DPRK taking more and more losses in the Kursk region. During an 8-hour special operation that deserves its own movie, Ukrainian SSO fighters took down 21 DPRK soldiers in a firefight and up to 50 more with mortar/artillery fire and FPV drones.
A detailed story might follow later 😉

❗️ Zelensky: "Ukraine can't regain Donbas and Crimea by force, but we won't give up these territories."
"Our constitution forbids us from surrendering them. De facto, these areas are controlled by Russia, and only international diplomatic pressure can push Putin to the negotiating table."

The actual situation in the south of the "Kurakhove pocket" is as I depicted on the map above.
The enemy stormed Zelenivka a few days ago along the road from the village of Sukhy Yaly, so between these two settlements the red zone, respectively the LBZ, looks like this.
Usual conversation in our comment group.
I can’t argue with Ryan… that is indeed convincing explanation 😂

Russia will not be satisfied with any scenarios with freezing the conflict in Ukraine, — Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Nebenzia
🤡 Kyiv's unwillingness to "move towards peace" was manifested in "rejection of Hungary's proposal to establish a Christmas ceasefire," he added.
Russia together with Hungary are creating a diplomatic trap for Ukraine. They blame Ukraine for continued war.
We’ll see if it works for them. Hopefully not.
The Defense Ministry did not know about torture in the 211th brigade, we did not have such information, - the agency's spokesman Lazutkin
Well now they know… thanks to journalists
Vatican on the verge of bankruptcy due to falling income

⚡️ Russian losses are five times (!) higher than Ukrainian losses, says Trump’s special envoy Kellogg.
He noted that wave attacks with massive casualties are typical for Russians, similar to North Koreans. "This is a war of attrition, just like in World War II."

The Ukrainian side claims that the strike on the Rostov region attacked a plant that produces rocket fuel
According to the head of the National Security and Defense Council Center of Personal Data
Andrey Kovalenko, the strike hit the Kamensky plant, which "is engaged in the production of rocket fuel (specializes in the manufacture of solid fuel components for rocket engines, in particular for multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and intercontinental ballistic missiles on solid fuel)".
Also, according to him, explosives and components for ammunition are manufactured at the plant.
Ukrainian Osinters are also writing about the attack on the plant. A video has also gone viral online, which, in addition to traces of air defense in the sky, shows an explosion in an industrial zone.
There is no confirmation of the strike itself yet, and the estimated damage is also unclear.
In 2011, the CIA partially declassified data related to the creation of the RT-2 solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (SS-13 Savage in the US classification) in the USSR. In CIA documents, the plant in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky is listed as the site of production of composite fuel for rocket engines of this type and the placement of test facilities, Novaya Gazeta noted back in 2021.
On the night of September 23, a gas supply pipe was damaged at the plant as a result of an attack. Before that, the enterprise was attacked by drones in April 2024.
NYT: Biden Administration May Not Have Time to Send $5.6 Billion in Aid to Ukraine Approved by Congress
Some of that money will likely go to the next administration, a White House official told The New York Times.
Whether Trump's team will use that money to support Kyiv is an open question. US President-elect Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine quickly, but did not specify how. His Vice President J.D. Vance proposed a plan under which Russia would keep the occupied Ukrainian territories.
