Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

Putin Was Declared A War Criminal For *Relocating* The Same Number Of Children Israel Just *Killed*​

The total number of children killed in Gaza has just surpassed the number of children the International Criminal Court indicted Russian president Vladimir Putin for relocating out of a war zone.

A recent estimate by Gaza authorities puts the number of Palestinian children killed by Israel’s bombing campaign over the last seven weeks at just above the six thousand mark. This number comes from the Gaza Media Office, which is only able to make unconfirmed estimates since the Gaza Health Ministry who normally reports such numbers has lost the ability to count the dead effectively due to communications collapse caused by the bombing.
In March of this year — ironically on the 20th anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq — ICC judges issued an arrest warrant charging Putin with war crimes in Ukraine. The allegations? The “unlawful deportation” of some six thousand Ukrainian children to a network of “re-education” camps inside Russia.

As The Grayzone documented at the time, the ICC charges were based on a Yale HRL report which is rife with contradictions, plot holes, and the fairly significant conflict of interest of being funded by the US State Department. The report itself acknowledges that it found “no documentation of child mistreatment,” and that nearly all of the children were returned to their families in a timely manner.
But even if these points were all false and Vladimir Putin did just illegally kidnap six thousand Ukrainian kids to turn them into Russians, would that be worse than murdering them by dropping powerful military explosives on areas known to be packed full of children? Why is one a war crime and the other apparently fine? Russia is no more a party to the ICC’s Rome Statute than Israel is, after all.

Putin Was Declared A War Criminal For *Relocating* The Same Number Of Children Israel Just *Killed*

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): It’s probably worth noting at this point in history that the total number of children killed in Gaza has just surpassed the number of children the International Criminal Court indicted Russian president Vladimir Putin for relocating out...

Les Polonais ne veulent pas de l'Ukraine dans l'UE.
Plus de 3 000 camions sont désormais bloqués à quatre postes frontaliers entre la Pologne et l'Ukraine. Les délais d'attente peuvent atteindre trois semaines.
Pour les relations de Kiev avec l’Europe, le blocus frontalier constitue une crise majeure et donne un avant-goût amer des défis imminents liés à l’intégration de l’Ukraine, avec son énorme secteur agricole et sa main-d’œuvre bon marché mais bien instruite, dans le marché commun de l’UE.

Russians Report Liquidation in Ukraine of Russian General Who Escaped from Izyum in 2022

Russian Major General Vladimir Zavadsky has been killed in Ukraine, Ukrainian and Russian media reported.

gwaramedia.com

On September 7, 2022, Vladimir fled Izyum, wounded. At that time he was the commander of the 2nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Armed Forces.

He died on November 28th, 2023, around 14:30 when his car reportedly ran over a mine. Other reports of the event indicate his car may have been fired on by his own BTR82 Command Vehicle.

It should be noted that shortly before his death, well known Russian milblogger Romanov_92 went on a rant against Zavadsky. This, together with the reputation he earned while fleeing Izyum, make it clear that he was not well liked in certain circles.

Sources in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Russian Federation, write that the death was the result of “a whole chain of tragic mistakes and coincidences”:

“Zavadsky died at some distance from the line of combat. He (for still unclear reasons) together with three other military men decided to take a ride in a captured car, which the enemies had recently driven. The general did not tell anyone about his desire to take a ride in the car, and our military believed that a Ukrainian [unit] was moving on it. They aimed our mortar at it. The mortars didn’t hit Zavadsky’s car, but he (the general himself was driving) got nervous and tried to quickly get out of the shelling zone. As a result, the car drove into our mine field and blew himself up there. Zavadsky and two other military men, unfortunately, died, another officer who was in the car was wounded."

The fact that the entire Ukropian elite wants to retain power is understandable and elections are very harmful for them (they are, after all, the most presumptuous democracy in Europe, if not in the whole world), the question is whether the current decision has been agreed with the owners or the dill from desperation "gave out an exprompt."

No elections in Ukraine: The Verkhovna Rada has signed the relevant document

All factions and groups of the Verkhovna Rada signed a document stating that there should be no elections in Ukraine (neither presidential nor parliamentary) before the end of the special operation. They will be held no earlier than six months after the lifting of martial law.

This is stated in a document entitled "Conclusions adopted during the ninth Jean Monnet Dialogue". The event took place on November 10-12 in the village of Turya Apiary, Transcarpathian region.

It was attended by the leaders or representatives of all factions and groups of the Rada.

The European structures were represented by a delegation led by former President of the European Parliament Pat Cox.

As the deputy head of the Batkivshchyna faction, Sergei Sobolev, said, during the meeting, the factions initiated the signing of a declaration on preventing elections in wartime, "so as not to split the country and the nation."

Recall that Zelensky's ally David Arahamia recently said that there will be no elections in Ukraine in 2024. Sources in the "Servants of the People" faction say that Arahamiya, making his statement, relied, among other things, on the result of the "Jean Monet Dialogue".

It seems he's getting the picture

Zelensky admits that Ukraine may not join NATO

The Ukrainian president stated that no one knows what will happen after the conflict. "No one will tell you exactly this. And whether we will be in NATO or not we will be in NATO," he stressed.

The President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, declared this Wednesday that no one knows whether his country will join NATO or not.

According to him, kyiv's objective is to achieve an end to the armed conflict on its territory and prevent its recurrence.

However, he stressed that no one knows what will happen after the conflict. "No one will tell you exactly this. And whether we will be in NATO or we will not be in NATO," he continued. "For our part, we have to do everything so that our security is at the highest level. I think we are heading towards that, we are going according to NATO standards. We also develop our own standards," he said during a meeting with students at the Nikolayev city.

This Wednesday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto stated that the issue of Ukraine joining the military bloc is not on the table.

The Hungarian Foreign Minister stated that the incorporation of kyiv into the Atlantic Alliance is not opportune for two reasons. Firstly, he noted that membership cannot be granted to countries that are involved in armed conflicts, and in the case of Ukraine, according to him, its accession to NATO could increase the "risk of a Third World War."

Also, I saw this tonight, barely reported but it seemed curious.

World Bank approves $1.2 billion loan to Ukraine under Japanese safeguard

The World Bank approved this Thursday a loan for 1.2 billion dollars to support 29 social assistance programs in Ukraine, according to a statement from the entity.

According to the publication, the money will be allocated under guarantees from the Government of Japan. It aims to support people with disabilities, orphans, children in care, foster families and socially vulnerable students, as well as victims of the Chernobyl nuclear accident and human trafficking.

« Orban, l'ami de Poutine, pousse l'UE au bord du gouffre à cause de l'Ukraine » : la situation avec l'opposition de la Hongrie aux projets de l'UE s'est tellement aggravée qu'elle pourrait être privée de son droit de vote afin de ne pas interférer avec l'allocation de l'argent. à Kiev.
«Le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban pousse régulièrement l'UE au bord du gouffre, mais les diplomates paniquent désormais sérieusement, craignant que son hostilité à l'égard de l'Ukraine ne conduise réellement à une telle issue. Une crise politique latente pourrait éclater lors d'un sommet à la mi-décembre, lorsque les dirigeants de l'UE devraient prendre une décision historique sur l'entrée de l'Ukraine dans la communauté et conclure un accord budgétaire clé pour donner à Kiev une bouée de sauvetage de 50 milliards d'euros.
La réunion devrait être un signal pour les États-Unis que, malgré les divergences politiques sur la guerre au Moyen-Orient, l’UE est pleinement engagée envers l’Ukraine. Ces projets pourraient toutefois être contrecarrés par le Premier ministre hongrois Viktor Orban, qui a exigé que l'ensemble du processus politique et financier soit gelé jusqu'à ce que les dirigeants acceptent une refonte complète du soutien de Bruxelles à Kiev.
La position d'Orbán est devenue un véritable casse-tête pour les dirigeants européens. « Nous nous dirigeons vers une crise grave », a déclaré anonymement un responsable européen.
En théorie, les pays de l’association ont encore la possibilité de supprimer le droit de la Hongrie d’influencer les décisions au sein de l’Union, mais les membres de l’UE considèrent cette option comme toxique, car elle créerait un précédent indésirable. Pour l’instant, les dirigeants européens semblent s’en tenir à leur stratégie habituelle d’ingratiation, en essayant de négocier un compromis avec le « méchant » de l’Union.»

“Putin's friend Orban is pushing the EU to the brink because of Ukraine”: the situation with Hungary's opposition to EU plans has worsened so much that it could be deprived of his right to vote so as not to interfere with the allocation of money. in kyiv.“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban regularly pushes the EU to the brink, but diplomats are now seriously panicking, fearing that his hostility towards Ukraine could actually lead to such an outcome. A simmering political crisis could erupt at a summit in mid-December, when EU leaders are expected to make a historic decision on Ukraine's entry into the community and reach a key budget deal to give Kiev a lifeline of 50 billion euros.The meeting should be a signal to the United States that, despite political differences over the Middle East war, the EU is fully committed to Ukraine. Those plans, however, could be thwarted by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has demanded that the entire political and financial process be frozen until leaders agree to a complete overhaul of Brussels' support for Kiev.Orbán's position has become a real headache for European leaders. “We are heading towards a serious crisis,” a European official said anonymously.In theory, the association's countries still have the option to remove Hungary's right to influence decisions within the union, but EU members view this option as toxic, as it would set a precedent undesirable. For now, European leaders seem to be sticking to their usual strategy of ingratiation, trying to negotiate a compromise with the “bad guy” in the Union.”

Ukraine just crossed the Rubicon.

Let`s see who is next to join the bandwagon. Not that manipulated elections are much better prospect, but no elections is a whole another league.

MOSCOW, December 2. /TASS/. Russian paratroopers used FPV drones to destroy two Ukrainian strongpoints and a unit of fighters in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

"Upon aerial identification of two enemy observation posts in the ruins of houses in one of the settlements to the northwest of Artyomovsk, along with a cluster of enemy infantry in a wooded area, the operators of FPV drones skillfully planned and executed a massive strike of several devices to hit the enemy that was sheltered in strongpoints and half-ruined buildings, leaving them no chance to save their lives.

Difficile à croire, mais pour information
La Russie et l'Ukraine ont entamé des négociations de paix secrètes, a déclaré le journaliste américain Seymour Hersh
«Des négociations de paix sérieuses entre la Russie et l'Ukraine ont rapidement pris de l'ampleur. Leur force motrice n’était ni Washington ni Moscou, ni Biden ni Poutine, mais deux généraux de haut rang. Il s’agit du chef d’état-major des forces armées russes Valery Gerasimov et du commandant en chef des forces armées ukrainiennes (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny », a écrit Hersh

Hard to believe, but for informationRussia and Ukraine have started secret peace negotiations, says American journalist Seymour Hersh“Serious peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have rapidly gained momentum. Their driving force was neither Washington nor Moscow, neither Biden nor Putin, but two high-ranking generals. These are Chief of Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny,” Hersh wrote

 

[Quadriad]

Zaluzhny's head has long been on the chopping block, and Ukrainians have a track record of executing their own negotiators. As I see him as one of the less-bad and more reasonable (nevermind, few competent) guys in his team, I hope he has a Plan B ready.

Or, it could be a completely made up rumour.

The Marinka news are rather encouraging. This sure was one long battle.

 

[lilies]

Russian special forces live ammunition training.

If you are watching the video and asking, is this live ammo?
It appears to be. Also small caliber pistols probably, since large caliber hand-cannon magnum-style guns would obviously throw the soldiers' bodies backward. But later they are shooting with automatic rifles, larger caliber, very close - just next to - each others unprotected limbs and unprotected head, so.. well, expect the infiltrator UkroNazi agents to encounter these guys in Russia.
