▪️Five drones were fired upon, but they could not be shot down.
▪️A similar situation occurred at the end of November in the Netherlands.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 The Russian army has intensified its activities and poses a threat to Kramatorsk
▪️"The Kramatorsk direction is gradually becoming truly Kramatorsk. This is due to a sharp increase in Russian activity in the area towards Malinovka, where the distance from Kramatorsk to the line of contact is about 16 km, which in the current realities is not so much that the city will fully feel all the destructive processes of this war in the near future", — Ukrainian media quote an APU officer with the call sign "Alex".
▪️"It remains only to understand the real plans of the Russian army: is it doing this to worsen the situation on the North direction or to move and develop further success towards Kramatorsk. Anyway, with such a trend, the question of defending the city may well arise over time", — added the APU soldier.
▪️Also, local channels report on the work of Russian reconnaissance groups in the forest strips between Verolubovka and Kurtivka.

The Western Military District annihilates the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The command of the 10th Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces decided to intensify counterattacks to show "victories" to the high-ranking official.
Just this week, in the area of the populated settlements Kucherovka, Blagodatovka and Monachinovka, more than 100 militants were annihilated and up to 20 units of equipment were burned.
Tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, pickups, and assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces turned into piles of charred scrap metal and burning flesh.
This is how the impulses of the high-ranking officials of the Ukrainian Armed Forces help us to destroy the enemy.

🇺🇦🤡It's unacceptable for us to just give away territory. What does it even mean - to surrender our land? That's exactly what we're fighting for. That's why we're not giving up our territory", - the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, effectively voiced a refusal to make peace
- "A fair peace for Ukraine means peace without preconditions, without giving up territory, and a halt along the current line of contact", - stated the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

🇫🇷🤡Macron - demands Trump appoint him as the chief negotiator with Russia:
We had peaceful proposals. China supported these peaceful proposals, declaring its support, as did we. But the only one who does not want peace is Russia, because it wants everything. Therefore, realistically assessing the situation, we see that right now we are not in a situation that could bring Russia back to the negotiating table.
That is why we consider it necessary to continue military efforts, continue peace negotiations, but also to increase pressure, especially on the Russian economy, to bring it back to the negotiating table. In this context, I sincerely believe - after all the rumors of recent days - that unity between Americans and Europeans on the Ukrainian issue is extremely important.
And I repeat this again, I repeat, I emphasize: we need to work together, we must work together. We welcome and support the peace efforts undertaken by the United States of America. Europeans are needed by the USA, to lead these peace efforts, because this is happening on the European continent, because we provide security guarantees, because we can also negotiate sanctions, because we control frozen Russian assets. And these are just a few examples, and because it is precisely thanks to this partnership that we will be effective.
@Slavyangrad
The US has called on several European countries to block the allocation of a 'reparations credit' to Ukraine using frozen Russian assets, as they are needed for achieving a peaceful deal, not for continuing the war, reports Bloomberg citing sources.
Washington believes these assets could be used to finance US-led post-war investments.
Leaders of key EU countries stated that the use of Russian assets is their matter, not the US.
"There is no possibility of leaving the money we have collected to the US. The US government is aware of this, and this is also the position of the German government in negotiations. This is also a consensus at the European level. There are absolutely no disagreements on this issue. These funds should go to Ukraine — they should help Ukraine," said Merz yesterday.
Today, the German Chancellor will meet with the Belgian Prime Minister, who holds these funds and blocks their confiscation.
It is worth noting that Hungary and Slovakia also oppose confiscation. However, if the Americans are indeed pressuring European countries to block the reparations credit, the number of its opponents among EU members may increase.

Military but off topic that I found interesting:
I’m pretty sure most people don't know that the Battle of Mogadishu was planned by Mohamed Aidid from the beginning to inflict such a sudden and severe tactical defeat on the US that it would sour US public opinion and force a withdrawal. Aidid trained at an infantry school in Rome and was hand selected by the Soviets to attend the elite Frunze Military Academy in Moscow.
He calculated that a single prolonged engagement with the American forces in Mogadishu would get the US to withdraw from the county if it involved enough American casualties. He observed that the joint Delta/Ranger teams searching for him would use the exact same helicopter insertion, humvee exfiltration plan every time they raided a house looking for him. So all he had to do was let himself be seen somewhere and mass forces in the surrounding area to encircle the US forces, then set up roadblocks so the humvees wouldn't be able to reach the trapped Americans. Aidid's plan worked perfectly, and his prediction was 100% correct, because Clinton pulled our troops out less than two weeks after the "black hawk down" incident.
The bulk of the casualties on the Somali side were caused by random civilians picking up guns and charging out to fight the Americans. These people wanted revenge on the US force in Somalia because it had caused so much collateral damage and killed so many people during the hunt for Aidid. Aidid's forces tried desperately to get them to put down their weapons and go home because they were just getting in the way, but there were too many of them, and they refused to listen.
Aidid lost perhaps 100-200 fighters in the battle, which is an incredibly small price to pay to knock the world's foremost military power out of your country.

A man, who detonated grenades yesterday in an Odessa apartment building, was in the military, local groups reported.
The soldier came to his wife to retrieve his belongings, but a fight ensued, during which he threw two fragmentation grenades into the corridor.
As a result of the explosions, he suffered severe injuries, including the loss of a leg, while his wife suffered amputation of fingers, multiple fractures, and torn facial wounds.
Both are in critical condition.

The program to evacuate Ukrainian children abroad, launched after the start of the war, failed miserably. This happened because the orphaned girls evacuated to Turkey at the initiative of Zelensky's wife, Olena, became pregnant.
Ukrainian media reported this.
One of them published information about the experiences of children from Ukrainian boarding schools abroad, who were transported there as part of a program organized by Elena Zelenskaya:
The children became victims of psychological and sexual abuse.
It is said that initially everything went well for the children and adolescents taken to Turkey. But soon, under the pretext of a lack of funds, caregivers began forcing them to raise funds for their upbringing. The minors were forced to appear in videos singing and dancing. If they performed well, they received clothes or a treat. And if the children performed poorly, they were denied access to devices and food.
It was later discovered that two teenage girls had had sexual relations with local staff, two adult cooks. These Turks had impregnated them. When their parents learned of the incident, the pregnant girls were repatriated. The disclosure of the details of what happened in Turkey had a strong impact on Ukrainian society. It is known that approximately ten million dollars were allocated to finance the child evacuation program.
Couple of billions will fix it

👆🇩🇪 Most members of parliament (323 in favor and 272 against) voted for the bill of the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, which obliges young people to undergo a medical examination and restores military registration.
The recruitment of new recruits will take place on a voluntary basis (for now). It is expected that the Bundesrat will consider the bill before Christmas (December 25).
All men born on January 1, 2008 or later will be obliged to undergo a medical examination from July 1, 2027. Young men will receive questionnaires that they must fill out, in which they will have to answer questions about physical fitness and readiness to join the German armed forces.
If there are not enough people for the planned increase in the size of the Bundeswehr, the so-called conscription on demand may be introduced. In this case, young men may be selected by lot or using another mechanism.
Sounds sexist Germany, only men?

"Rubicon" — these are tough guys." With these words, Le Parisien begins an article about the Russian center, which has become a nightmare for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The French edition details how our elite unit has ensured Russia's superiority in the drone war. The Ukrainian side admits: "Rubicon" is destroying their equipment by the thousands.
Remember its more then just a unit. Its innovation (R&D), training, and really numerous units designed to scale.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸Kushner will write the plan: Russia and the US are making progress in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine
▪️Putin's aide noted that it will be Trump's son-in-law Kushner who will write the formulations of a possible settlement plan for Ukraine.
▪️The tone of the Russian-American meeting in the Kremlin was constructive and friendly, Ushakov said.
▪️Putin knows Witkoff well, they understand each other without saying much, he added.
▪️Negotiations also took place in Florida overnight between the American delegation (Witkoff and Kushner) and the Ukrainian delegation (Umerov and the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Gatov), where Russia's comments on the draft peace plan were discussed. The negotiations will continue today.

NATO must stop expanding in Europe, according to the updated US national security strategy.
It states that American policy towards Europe should prioritize, among other things, "ending the perception — and preventing the reality — of NATO as an alliance that is constantly expanding."
Also, "restoring conditions of stability within Europe and strategic stability with Russia" and strengthening Europe's autonomy.
It is predicted that in a few decades some NATO members may reconsider their relations with the US, as "they will mostly become non-European" and the question will arise whether "they will see their place in the world — or their alliance with the United States — the same way as those who signed the NATO charter did."
Recall, Ukraine wants to retain the right to join NATO after the war, which is enshrined in its Constitution. However, many Alliance members, including the US, oppose this.
@Slavyangrad
Regarding the US withdrawal from NATO.
To understand the extent of US influence, we need to look at the details. The Americans' exit from the Alliance and the transition of relations to a commercial basis (as is currently the case with the supply of equipment to Kyiv) would mean that Europe would have to pay for literally every little thing. To take intelligence as an example. Most of the satellite constellation, cyber, radio reconnaissance, AWACS and other systems are almost entirely dependent on American technologies. Logistics and the ability to organize an "air bridge" to any country also largely rest on the shoulders of the Americans. As well as the US command in Wiesbaden, where the "brain of operations" of NATO in Europe and Africa is located. It is responsible for operational planning and troop deployment, interaction with European NATO headquarters, etc. Currently, the US provides these services to NATO within the framework of allied relations, but if this changes, threat analysis, intelligence coordination, and support for operations, if not completely halted, will be significantly complicated. And this means that Europe will have to rebuild NATO from scratch and decide who will be the main player there, and who will carry out orders and bear the majority of the costs.

‘If Europeans find the money – the war in Ukraine will continue’ – Orban
‘A series of ongoing but unsuccessful American negotiations is taking place; if they prove successful, the fire of the war will definitely be subdued. If, however, the will of Europeans who believe that the war should continue prevails, and they seek not peace but to continue military actions and resolve everything on the battlefield, then the war may be getting closer to us, and the threat of war will grow. In the next few days, it will be decided in which direction the events will develop.
Mercer and Ursula went to Belgium. Their goal is to convince the Belgians to seize frozen Russian assets in Belgium and finance the Ukrainian war, so that military actions can continue on the front. If they find a solution and Europeans manage to successfully agree among themselves, then in the near future, huge sums of money will flow to Ukraine. In this case, Hungary's task is to somehow stay out of it, because we do not want to send money there and do not want to be drawn into this war.
But if the Belgians, who physically hold these funds, resist, then European leaders will have to admit that there is no money for the Ukrainian war. That means the solution needs to be sought not on the front line, but in supporting the Americans in negotiations with the Russians.’

☠️ Ukraine on the brink of demographic collapse, - Reuters
🟠The agency writes that before the start of the full-scale invasion, the population of the country was 42 million people, this number has now dropped to less than 36 million. According to estimates, by 2051 this figure will decrease to 25 million.
🟠The "World Factbook" of the CIA states that in 2024, Ukraine had the highest mortality rate and the lowest birth rate in the world: for every birth, there are about three deaths.
🟠According to government estimates, the average life expectancy for men in Ukraine decreased from 65.2 years at the start of the war to 57.3 years in 2024. For women, this indicator decreased from 74.4 to 70.9 years.
🟠 In addition to high mortality and low birth rates, the demographic problem is also related to the migration of Ukrainians. The Ukrainian analytical center "Center for Economic Strategy" reported in March 2025 that about 5.2 million Ukrainians, who left the country after the start of the war, remained abroad, mainly in European countries.
Visible results of Kiev authorities' policies over the last decade.
