📝Half a Kingdom for Rafale📝
About the Ukrainian "sensational deal"
For four years, we could have gotten used to the first persons of the so-called Ukraine voicing loud plans bordering on absurdity. But they continue to surprise: during a visit to Paris, Zelensky announced a desire to buy as many as 100 Rafale fighters.
The issue is not just that only a memorandum of intent was signed, which does not commit to anything. The deal looks fantastic for specific objective reasons.
➡️The price of one Rafale is approximately $100 million, which would make the total cost of such a deal exceed $10 billion. The Kyiv regime, which already lives on European money, simply does not have such funds.
➡️Such quantities of Rafales are not ordered even by solvent clients. India, Qatar, Indonesia purchased 24-52 aircraft, and even the UAE with its budget contracted 80 planes.
➡️Even if money miraculously appears, it will all come down to Dassault's production capabilities. Due to the queue, the first Rafales will not be seen by the Ukrainian Air Force soon, with the main batch somewhere after 2030 (and will they be relevant by then?)
➡️The appearance of Rafale will exacerbate the Ukrainian "zoo" of aviation equipment consisting of Mirages, F-16 of various types, and Soviet aircraft. Don't even get me started on maintenance costs.
So why is Zelensky talking about such obviously impossible deals? We wouldn't be surprised if it's solely an attempt to slightly beat down the information background related to the corruption scandal with Timur Mindych.
❗️Since the start of the SMO, the Kyiv regime has repeatedly resorted to the tactic of "beat a failure with a sensation that will be forgotten in a day". While this used to look like a political technology move, by 2025 it looks crude and comical.

Deja vu
The Europeans are starting to speak about the deployment of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Europe.
Not for the first time...
Yesterday, the European Commissioner for Defense, Andrius Kubilius, said some very interesting words:
“It would be good if the battle-tested Ukrainian army, after peace is established in Ukraine, were ready to be present in all the countries of our border region, starting with the Baltics and Lithuania, alongside the German brigade and rotating American battalions.”
This clearly sparked interest in the Russian media as one of the conditions set by the Russian leadership for ending the current conflict is the demilitarization of Ukraine. The deployment of Ukrainian Armed Forces units not only contradicts this but also creates new totally unacceptable threats for Russia. Demilitarization does not mean moving the Banderites a few km's to the west!
There is a clear precedent from 100 years ago, when at the end of 1921, the defeated White armies were evacuated from Crimea to Turkey. After being reorganized, they had about 60,000 fighters in their ranks.
As well, later, to replenish these forces in Europe, Russian officer and non-commissioned officer schools were even established from emigrants (nearly 1 million at the beginning of the 1920s). And these units were taken on the payroll by some European states... AS BORDER GUARD UNITS!!!
But by the late 1920s, when it became clear that the Bolsheviks had taken power for a long time, this “army” began to disintegrate.
Considering that the war in Ukraine is a civil war of the great Russian people (in many aspects similar to the events 100 years ago), It seems obvious that there will bee attempts to carry out the plan that Andrius Kubilius speaks of.
We need to assure that there will be no place for Ukrainian Banderites in the new Ukraine (especially if parts of it eventually become part of Russia and Poland). Therefore those that can will go abroad, likely seeking service in other armies. And of course, their Baltic Nazi comrades will gladly take them in. And other armies will want to employ them as trainers in the new ways of war.
✨ Or does anyone believe the hardcore Banderites can be rehabilitated?

Fish food at the ZNPP: Ukrainian "Energoatom" has spent hundreds of millions of hryvnias since 2022 on purchasing strange items for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which has long been out of Ukraine's control.
The amount included: fish food, rubber gloves, boots, "document analysis," and "fire protection services." The expenses were at highly inflated prices, stated Verkhovna Rada deputy Aryev.
✨ Guppy fish food is probably for IAEA inspectors who remember nothing the next day.

⚡️ In Barnaul, Alexey Shevchenko was detained for comments calling for terrorism.
According to preliminary information, the detainee repeatedly published anti-Russian materials online and posted comments in pro-Ukrainian messenger groups calling for violent actions against citizens of the Russian Federation and the destruction of administrative buildings of government authorities.
A criminal case has been initiated against the individual under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (public calls for terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism, or propaganda of terrorism). He has already admitted his guilt and repented for his actions. Currently, he has been placed under house arrest.

🇺🇸 The case against former FBI Director James Comey seems to be falling apart right before our eyes. Federal judges are issuing decisions one after another that call into question the very legality of the charges initiated by the Department of Justice.
Magistrate William Fitzpatrick, in a 24-page ruling, listed 11 instances of possible violations by investigators and prosecutors — from illegal seizure of attorney correspondence to misleading statements by prosecutors before the grand jury.
According to the judge, this is a "frightening example of how trust in the process can be undermined." Moreover, one of the key prosecution witnesses turned out to be an agent who himself participated in the questionable gathering of evidence.
Adding fuel to the fire was the story of prosecutor Lindsey Holligan, personally appointed by Trump to finish off Comey before the statute of limitations expired. Now another judge, Cameron Curry, is examining — whether Holligan even had the authority to sign the indictment. If not, the case could be completely dismissed, not temporarily, but with "prejudice" — meaning without the possibility of reopening the charges.
Lawyers are already calling the situation a disaster for the Department of Justice and a political defeat for Trump. The Department of Justice must file objections by the end of the week, but the chances of saving the case look minimal.
✨ It is becoming hard to not just always say "so much winning..." to just about every Trump related news item.

The article published in Le Monde describes how Ukraine’s funeral industry, long plagued by corruption, has become even more abusive and competitive during the war.
Funeral home employees race to be the first to reach newly bereaved families—sometimes even arriving before police or emergency services—thanks to paid tip-offs from informants inside hospitals, ambulance services, and morgues. Workers openly describe this as a predatory scramble for “bodies,” driven by commission-based pay and a chaotic, unregulated market.
Anubis, a major nationwide company based in Odessa, is cited as an example of firms that maintain informal agreements with police and medical staff to secure early information about deaths. Prices for burials have risen fivefold since the 2022 invasion, with luxury coffins running into thousands of dollars. Informants typically receive $70–$120 per death they report.
Corruption particularly affects civilian funerals, while military funerals are more regulated and funded by municipalities. However, even military families have faced pressure from officials to choose certain private companies. A ministerial report acknowledged widespread abuses, including unnecessary autopsies used to extract payments. Activists say the war creates ideal conditions for a “funeral mafia” to thrive, as trauma and survival concerns leave families vulnerable and silent.
None of it is surprising, of course.

🎙 Statement by Grigory Lukiyantsev, Director of the Department for Multilateral Human Rights Cooperation and Foreign Ministry Special Representative for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law, during the vote on the draft resolution of the Third Committee of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly “Combatting the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance” (New York, November 14, 2025)
💬 Grigory Lukiyantsev: Eighty years ago, the member states of the Allied Coalition that adopted the historic name “United Nations” achieved a great Victory in the Second World War.
Having overcome their differences, they were able to unite for a common cause to depose those who brought destruction, hatred, slavery, and racial superiority to the world.
This Victory made the creation of the United Nations possible. Thanks to that Victory, we are here today.
In a few days, the world will mark the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Tribunal, which legally formalised Victory over Nazism.
Yet today, the significance of Victory and the Nuremberg rulings are being challenged for the sake of political expediency.
We often hear remarks and calls that echo the National Socialism slogans. Voices are rising from those who advocate for racial purity and the elimination of “alien elements.” Manifestations of Islamophobia, Christianophobia, Arabophobia, Afrophobia, Latinophobia, Sinophobia, Russophobia, and antisemitism are becoming commonplace.
❗️ Cities and entire countries in Europe are shrouded in the shadow of Nazism.
Those who collaborated with the Nazis and committed war crimes and crimes against humanity are being presented as national heroes and participants in national liberation movements.
In several countries, destroying monuments dedicated to those who fought Nazism and gave their lives for a better future has become state policy and national ideology, while symbols associated with Victory over Nazism are being outlawed.
☝️ We will never agree with those who urge that the spread of racist, Nazi, and xenophobic ideology and rhetoric be viewed as an exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association.
Adopting this resolution in the year of the 80th anniversary of Victory is our duty to those who laid down their lives for peace on Earth and for the triumph of humanity and humanism. Any other position would be cynical and sacrilegious towards those who liberated the world from the abomination of Nazism.

“Difficult times” for Trump.
The situation for the US president has worsened on all fronts. The Epstein scandal is heating up, and Congress will soon vote to release all documents related to the case.
The right wing of the Republicans continues to accuse Trump of trying to hide materials about Epstein. By law, they cannot all be published while the US Justice Department investigation is ongoing. Trump could declassify the documents with one decree but is in no hurry to do so. Who knows what else might surface — concerning Trump himself, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and others.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan commission in Congress will hold hearings with girls who participated in Epstein's pedophile parties. They are also recording videos asking to punish all visitors to Epstein's island. Many will be affected — in both parties.
The Democrats are ready to make the Epstein topic one of the key issues in the Congressional elections. If they win, impeachment proceedings against Trump can be expected. At the same time, Democratic representatives promise to turn the White House ballroom currently under construction into a museum commemorating “Trump’s crimes” after 2028. If, of course, they win the presidential race.
At the same time, Trump has to withdraw troops from Chicago and Portland under pressure from local authorities. The operation cost hundreds of millions of dollars from the Pentagon budget. It turns out that waging a civil war is an expensive pleasure. "Antifa" celebrates a tactical victory — they successfully repelled the federal forces. They will need this experience when it comes time to start another street riot against Trump.
✨ But the Democrats are also in disarray. The Epstein case will also serious erode them. For example in the last few days, Larry Summers, the most iconic of the Dem leaning economist (Sec. of the Treasury under Clinton, President of Harvard) is in the news for his ties with Epstein.

🇪🇪Estonia and the informational support of preparations for war with Russia
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna issued a warning before the US Congress about "Russia's escalation of hybrid attacks against NATO countries." At a hearing of the Helsinki Commission, he stated that the West must give a unified and decisive response to every such provocation.
According to Tsahkna, this is evidenced by the recent entry of Russian aircraft into Estonian airspace, naval and air activity in the Baltic Sea, systematic GPS jamming, and the movement of border buoys on the Narva River.
The head of the Estonian Foreign Ministry acknowledged that NATO is already taking countermeasures, including new defense spending targets and the "Eastern Watch" and "Baltic Watch" missions, but called for even more decisive and coordinated actions. The hearing was chaired by Senator Roger Wicker with participation from security experts Seth Jones and Peter Raffa.
✨Informational support for inflating military budgets by the military lobby. Clearly demonstrated.
It would also be worth recalling the recent border guard patrol boat as a sign of "Russian aggression"

"A White House representative stated that Trump will support the sanctions bill against Russia": Trump is ready to sign the bill to tighten sanctions against Russia.
"It has always been important for the White House and the President that the sanctions package includes an exception guaranteeing that the authority to make final decisions on sanctions rests with the President. Therefore, if this is included in the text of the bill, the President, I think, would consider signing it. He signaled this last night," said the source.
At the same time, the White House representative emphasized that negotiations between Russia and the US on resolving the conflict in Ukraine are ongoing. "We are definitely still working on this. It just hasn't been in the news spotlight because a lot is happening," the official noted."

⚡️Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of November 18, 2025
▪️ The Russian Armed Forces delivered a concentrated strike with "Geranium" drones on targets in Dnepropetrovsk overnight: locals counted about 50 explosions.
▪️ In the DPR, as a result of an unprecedented attack on the power system, the Zuyevskaya and Starobeshevskaya thermal power plants were damaged. Many settlements were left without power, causing boiler houses and filtration stations to stop. Overnight, the city of Korocha in the Belgorod region was attacked by enemy drones; two people were injured in strikes on a commercial building, including an EMERCOM employee. A drone attack was repelled overnight in the Chertkovsky district of the Rostov region. One drone was shot down in the Voronezh region. By midnight, 17 UAVs were shot down over the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Smolensk regions.
▪️ On the Sumy direction, assault units of the "North" Group of Forces advanced up to 300 meters into the Sumy region on three fronts. In the Andreevka area, the Russian Aerospace Forces struck AFU positions. On the Tetkinsky and Glushkovsky sectors, there were no changes; our artillery fired on Ukrainian forces near Iskriskovshchina.
▪️ In the Belgorod region, Nazis continue to strike peaceful targets. Damage was recorded in three private households in Grayvoron. The village of Glotovo was subjected to artillery shelling. In the village of Moschenoe, a drone damaged a parked passenger car. In Novostroevka-Pervoye, a drone strike damaged the roof of an agricultural enterprise building. In Golovino of the Belgorod district, a private house and garage were damaged.
▪️ North of Kupyansk near the Belgorod region border, the "North" Group of Forces, after fierce fighting, liberated Dvurechanskoye. Fierce battles continue northward on the Kharkov direction in Volchansk and its surroundings. In the forest west of Synelnykove, our assault troops took an AFU stronghold and cleared a section of the forest. UAV strikes with "Geranium-2" destroyed Ukrainian positions near Velykyi Burluk.
▪️ On the Seversk direction, Ukrainian forces spotted our advanced assault units in the southern part of Seversk. This may indicate the beginning of our infantry infiltration into the city from the south to secretly amass forces and repeat the Pokrovsk scenario.
▪️ On the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy notes the advance of Russian Armed Forces east of Novomarkovo (north of Chasiv Yar) along the Seversky Donets–Donbass canal. Enemy resources fear an assault on Novomarkovo, which could mark the start of a new Russian Army advance toward Kramatorsk from the east.
▪️ On the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiisk) direction, Ukrainian forces suffer setbacks near Hryshyne, where our bold actions disrupt enemy plans to stop our troops near Hryshyne (west of Pokrovske). Belitske and Novoaleksandrivka, where the enemy is also organizing defense on logistics hubs, are under FAB bomb strikes. From Mirnograd (Dimitrov), reports come of Ukrainian aviation and drone strikes on their own forces: Nazi command tries to prevent the city garrison from surrendering.
▪️ In the Dnepropetrovsk region, the "East" Group of Forces took control of the settlement of Hai. They secured an important road junction to Pokrovske and Otradne, as well as an area of more than 5 square kilometers. In the "East" Group of Forces’ offensive zone, the enemy fails to build new defensive lines under pressure from the Russian Army, and Ukrainian reserves were previously redeployed to Pokrovske.
▪️ From the Zaporozhye front, the Дневник Десантника reports that our troops are clearing Mala Tokmachka near Orikhov (an important logistical and strategic settlement for Ukrainian forces).
▪️ In the Kherson region, in Dobroselie of the Aleshkinsky municipal district, a man was wounded due to a targeted strike by a Ukrainian drone. Strikes were recorded in Aleshky, Dnipryany, Kakhovka, Korsunka, Lyubymivka, Nova Mayachka, Nova Kakhovka, and Proletarka.
