Western nations ‘changing tune’ on defeating Russia – Putin!

The stronger the nation is, the less its enemies will be trying to hurt it, the Russian president said. Western nations, who previously insisted that Ukraine should defeat Russia on the battlefield, are gradually changing their position, President Vladimir Putin noted on Friday. “They are changing their tune now, saying different things,” the Russian leader told members of the Civic Chamber, a civil society body tasked with consulting the government on policymaking. “They (EU nations) excluded our energy. So what? What is the result? Our GDP will grow [up to] 3% this year, and the leading European economies are shrinking,” he noted.

Ukraine ‘going badly’ for US – Trump!

The former president noted that the media no longer talks about Kiev’s conflict with Moscow, suggesting that it’s trying to distract from failures. Former US President Donald Trump has suggested that things are “going badly” for the US in Ukraine, which he claimed was proven out by the fact that the media has stopped producing extensive coverage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Speaking at a rally in Houston, Texas on Thursday, Trump told his supporters that the “fake news media” generally doesn’t like to cover things that aren’t going well for Washington, and that this was the case with Afghanistan amid the disastrous US withdrawal from the country in 2021.

Everyone in Ukraine must serve – security chief!

Aleksey Danilov’s statement comes as Moscow estimates Kiev’s losses in botched counteroffensive at more than 90,000 soldiers. No Ukrainian citizen should be exempt from serving their country and helping it in the conflict with Russia, Aleksey Danilov, Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, has insisted. In an interview with media outlet Liga on Thursday, Danilov described the idea that every Ukrainian “has to fight a war or perform a service” as a “fundamental truth.” “One should not be surprised. We live in a rather complicated world where we have to defend our country with a crazy neighbor nearby,” he added.

Russia launches huge drone attack on Ukraine infrastructure; Moscow dismisses U.S. sanctions!

Russia launched a huge drone attack in the early hours of Friday morning, striking critical infrastructure in parts of southern and western Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. The air force said on Telegram that it had shot down 24 "Shahed" drones out of "four dozen" launched from Kursk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia, while a Kh-59 guided air missile had also been launched from occupied Kherson.

The Dutch government is releasing 500 million euros to purchase munitions (artillery shells and ammunition) for Ukraine. This was announced by resigned Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren on Thursday during a visit to the country. The ammunition would be delivered between now and the middle of next year. The Hague wants to continue providing a "constant flow of certain ammunition" because "you can only sustain the fight if they know that we keep sending these things through," Ollongren said. The Dutch defence minister met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Ukraine's capital Kyiv on Thursday. The Netherlands already released a total of more than 2 billion euros for military support to Ukraine in the fight against Russia.

Russia has formed a battalion composed of Ukrainian prisoners of war. The Bohdan Chmelnytsky battalion, named after a Ukrainian Cossack leader, consists of 70 to 80 captured Ukrainian servicemen, according to Russian state media. They will soon be sent to the front in Ukraine, according to Moscow. Using prisoners of war for military purposes goes against the Geneva Convention, which is the basis of humanitarian law of war. "Prisoners of war may not be forced to do military or dangerous work," dictates the 1949 convention text. But, the commander in charge earlier claimed to Russian state news agency Ria Novosti, the dozens of Ukrainians have reported "voluntarily." They are also said to have accepted Russian passports. "I took an oath to Russia because I want Ukrainians and Russians to be united as one people," a defector droned on in an interview published yesterday. Establishing that humanitarian law of war is being violated is difficult, says associate professor of international criminal law Marieke de Hoon. "How do you determine whether someone defected entirely voluntarily, or whether there was coercion or brainwashing? Or that it's the only chance to avoid torture or worse?" Russia is estimated to be holding several thousand Ukrainian POWs. "It may be the case that someone actually wants to defect and Russia is providing that opportunity," De Hoon said. The American think tank ISW assumes that the POWs were "presumably forced" into conscription.

Incidentally, last week, Ukraine also set up a battalion consisting exclusively of Russian citizens. The "Siberian Battalion," according to Ukrainian military intelligence, consists of Russians who travelled to Ukraine via a third country. They are said to be mainly ethnic minorities, who oppose Moscow. And an important detail: the battalion says it does not recruit prisoners of war.

Germany's military support for Ukraine will continue at least until 2032. Germany has already earmarked funding for Ukraine in its budget planning until 2032, Bundeswehr Major General Christian Freuding said in a Nov. 3 interview with the German news outlet Stuttgarter Nachrichten.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba met with Armin Papperger, CEO of German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall, in Berlin, discussing ways to strengthen the alliance of German and Ukrainian defence industries. "Ukraine will have more weapons and ammunition to defend itself, protect civilians and infrastructure from Russian attacks," Kuleba said.

Berlin has updated its list of military aid to Ukraine, promising to deliver to the Ukrainian Armed Forces 25 more Leopard 1A5 tanks, the website of the German government reported on Nov. 1. Germany will supply a total of 115 Leopard 1A5s to Ukraine as part of a project co-financed by Denmark and Netherlands. In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces received 12 armoured personnel carriers, two TRML-4D air surveillance radars, seven Primoco ONE reconnaissance drones, and five undisclosed surface vessels from Germany.

The last Leopard-1A5s the German were supplying, were in such shabby state and would have needed so much repair that Ukraine rejected them...

Tried to find the article, without any success.

It was about Ukraine who should have said thanks but no thanks to these Leopard 1 tank. It was something with they weren't as good as the newer type Leopard 2. It wasn't any match for the T72.

Can of course have remembered wrong though.

But you are 110 % right They appreciate every ammo and other material they get from us.

There are countries that only give non-military support and that is OK because this can not be won only on the fronts Ukraine needs every help medical, humanitarian or economic support is as important as military support.

Denmark is doing that too-Beside sending military stuff, they also send medical help. Seem to recall something with a story about a MASH unit(Without doctors and nurses)
It could also be an another country who have send this to Ukraine.

On this Leopard discussion-You were right-It was only these ten tanks they said no thanks to.

Those tanks are being repaired if I recall right, they were rejected because Ukraine can not do that itself

No fall in international aid to Ukraine even as world’s attention switches to Israel-Hamas war

Ukraine has not seen a reduction in international aid amid the war between Israel and Hamas, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in an interview with German broadcaster ZDF on Nov. 2. Ukraine hopes the situation in the Middle East will not further escalate, but “circumstances can change,” Kuleba said. “The most important capitals very clearly understand what is at stake — both in Ukraine and in the Middle East,” he added. Kuleba stressed that the issue was about much more than security in these parts of the world.

On Oct. 13, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis also called on the international community to keep its focus on Ukraine and its fight against Russia's invasion, even amid the escalation caused by Hamas's attacks on Israel. On Oct. 12, U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin reiterated the U.S. intention and ability to help Ukraine and Israel simultaneously. https://english.nv.ua/nation/ukraine...-50365483.html

Fellas, Putin found our sex tunnels its over

[August]

Amerikan woman, said get away
Amerikan woman, listen what I say
Don't come a hangin' around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

Now woman, I said get away
Amerikan woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay!

The prospects for Ukraine are becoming increasingly bleak. And they know it. Except for Zelensky, who doesn't want to believe it.
