Here we go again-Ukraine once again

[Jimbuna]

UN experts will today assess damage at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power site following renewed shelling in the area.

Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of carrying out explosions at the site of Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.

The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Rafael Grossi has condemned the latest bombardment as another "close call"

Grossi said the shelling came within metres of hitting the plant's nuclear safety and security systems.

The facility, which is under Russian control, has come under fire multiple times during the war.

The latest shelling follows setbacks for Russian forces in the southern region of Kherson, and a barrage of Russian attacks on power facilities as winter sets in.

The governor of the city of Kherson has told the BBC that his priority is “making people there feel safe again”

NATO Parliamentary Assembly recognized Russia as terrorist state, - Cherniev

The NATO Parliamentary Assembly, which is currently taking place in Madrid, called for the creation of a special international tribunal to punish Russian criminals and recognized the Russian Federation as a terrorist state.

As Censor.NET informs, this was reported by the People's Deputy from the "Servant of the People" faction, the head of the permanent delegation of Ukraine to the NATO PA Yehor Cherniev.

"All 30 NATO countries supported the proposals of our delegation. Such a tribunal will make it possible to convict not only the direct perpetrators of war crimes, but also the top leadership of the Russian Federation. The resolution will be sent to the governments and parliaments of all NATO member countries," Cherniev said.

According to him, the resolution contains a number of important decisions for Ukraine:

increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine;
development of specific steps regarding Ukraine's accession to NATO;
creation of a mechanism for collecting reparations from the Russian Federation for damages caused to Ukraine.

Chernev also emphasized that the resolution enshrines the principle that NATO will support Ukraine as long as necessary.

"The adoption of this resolution is an important political step that reflects the mood in Western parliamentary circles, and therefore influences the leadership of countries in decision-making," explained the head of the permanent delegation of Ukraine to the NATO PA.

He stated that the Ukrainian position regarding the creation of the tribunal, the payment of reparations and the recognition of Russia as a terrorist state is gradually receiving support at the highest international platforms.

"For crimes against humanity, war crimes that do not have a statute of limitations, and for the crime of aggression, punishment will be inevitable. We will definitely achieve this," Chernev concluded. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382072

NATO is putting more troops on high alert, - Stoltenberg

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg noted that the Alliance is currently doing everything to prevent the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine beyond its borders. Thus, the number of combat groups in the eastern part of the lines has been increased from four to eight, and even more troops are being put on high alert.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to Suspilne.

According to him, the Alliance should be ready to support Ukraine in the long term.

"Yes, I know that this support comes at a price. In our countries, many people are facing a cost of living crisis. These are difficult times for many. But the price we pay as NATO allies is measured in money, and the Ukrainian state pays the price, which is measured in blood. And if we let Putin win, we will all pay a much higher price, or authoritarian regimes around the world will learn that they can get what they want. This will have direct consequences for our security, it will make the world more dangerous," the NATO Secretary General emphasized.

He also added that it would be a big mistake to underestimate Russia, as it "retains significant military potential, a large number of troops, is ready to suffer significant losses and is ready to inflict terrible suffering on the Ukrainian people."

Stoltenberg said that 2022 will be the eighth consecutive year of increased defense spending in Europe and Canada. By the end of the year, NATO will spend more than 350 billion US dollars in addition to defense.

"And we must realize that this war will most likely end at some stage at the negotiating table. But we also know that the outcome of these negotiations depends entirely on the strength on the battlefield. So, if we want an outcome acceptable to Ukraine, an outcome , which guarantees that Ukraine will be able to prevail as a sovereign, independent democratic nation in Europe, the best way to achieve this is through broad military support for Ukraine," he concluded.

Republican Senator Risch on fighter jets for Ukraine: When we fought in Vietnam, Russians supplied planes to our opponents. It’s time for US

According to US Congress Senator Jim Risch, a Republican, he himself supports the provision of Western-model fighter jets to Ukraine, but there is still no majority for this step among members of Congress.

Rish said this in an interview with "European Pravda" on the sidelines of the Halifax Security Forum, where he arrived at the head of the delegation of the American Congress, Censor.NET reports.

He noted that air control is necessary for Ukraine to win the war.

"I probably represent the most determined group (in the U.S. Congress). In particular, I think it's important to give Ukraine fighter jets and train your pilots. Some people say, 'Oh no, that's going to escalate.' But listen, when we fought in Vietnam and Korea, the Russians have supplied both planes and pilots to our adversaries! It is time for the US to reciprocate. I am absolutely ready to vote for such a move. I have met with Ukrainian pilots and believe they can use the F- 16. Yes, some training is required, but there are no major problems," noted Jim Risch.

At the same time, he admitted that there is no support from the majority for such a decision, as for the provision of Patriot complexes.

"Therefore, for the near term, I advise you to work on the next step being to provide more NASAMS. These systems have proven effective in closing the skies. With enough of them, it will be possible to essentially close the skies without using fighters. Use NASAMS, and in addition, the Stingers, which have already proven themselves quite well as an aid in closing the sky," noted Jim Rish. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382095

Russia has not fulfilled its obligations in Syria, - Erdogan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Russia of not fulfilling the agreements in Syria.

Erdogan said this to journalists on Monday, Censor.NET reports with reference to "Euro Integration".

The Turkish president recalled the 2019 agreements concluded in Sochi, according to which the Russian side assumed responsibility for clearing certain areas of Syria from, according to Erdogan, terrorists.

"Unfortunately, despite repeated reminders from the Turkish side, these obligations have not been fulfilled. If they do not fulfill, they cannot fulfill. In response, we declare that in case of non-fulfillment of the agreements, we ourselves will take the necessary steps against the terrorists," Erdogan said.

"This is what the strikes on 12 terrorist targets in the Syrian Koban are related to. This is part of the operations that will be continued," the Turkish president added.

In response to the terrorist attack in Istanbul on Sunday night, Turkey launched Operation Sword and Claw in northern Syria and Iraq, in which it says its warplanes destroyed 89 targets linked to terrorist organizations.

The strikes targeted bases of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and its affiliated Syrian Kurdish militia, the People's Self-Defense Forces (YPG), both of which Ankara considers terrorist organizations. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382138

Up to three million Ukrainians will be forced to leave their homes because of cold, - WHO forecasts

From 2 to 3 million residents of Ukraine are likely to leave their homes due to the onset of cold weather.

This was announced at a press conference by the director of the European Regional Bureau of the World Health Organization, Hans Kluge, Censor.NET reports with reference to RBC-Ukraine.

According to him, hundreds of thousands of premises throughout Ukraine do not have gas supply. Because of this, Ukrainians are not only unable to cook food, but are also deprived of heating.

"The cold weather can kill. Temperatures are forecast to drop to -20 degrees in some parts of the country. As families struggle to stay warm, many will be forced to resort to alternative heating methods, such as burning wood or generators... We expect 2-3 million people will leave their homes in search of warmth and safety," Kluge said. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3382148

If you are looking to excuse the many war crimes committed by the dastardly russian occupiers then you'll need a better example.
