Slovakia stops repairing damaged Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment
For Slovakia, increasing defense spending to 3% of GDP is unimaginable, said the country's Defense Minister Robert Kalinyak.
This was his response to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte's call for maintaining military and defense spending at 2% of GDP.
Meanwhile, German military specialists who were restoring damaged Ukrainian equipment in a workshop located in the area bordering Ukraine are leaving Slovakia.
According to the German side, Bratislava deliberately slowed down the workshop's work and demonstrated a lack of interest in continuing its work.
The Slovak authorities consider Zelensky's regime to be neo-Nazi and accuse NATO of provoking a war in Ukraine in order to preserve the hegemony of the collective West.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 20 Dec 2024; 06:57 (GMT+3)⚡️
🔥 The RF Mod said yesterday that 6 US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles and 4 Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles were used in strikes on the 'Kamensky Kombinat' enterprise in the #Rostov region. 'These actions of the Kiev Regime, supported by Western curators, will not go unanswered,' MoD warned. Whether it is the use of 'Nutshell' or a massive missile strike is not reported.
🔹 In #Kursk region, the RFAF advanced in heavy fighting in forest plantations in the north of the Sudzhansky district and in the area of #CherkasskayaKonopelka. #Novoivanovka has been completely liberated. The enemy retains forces for counterattacks: 2 counterattacks in the direction of #Novoivanovka and #Daryino were foiled, although the enemy groups for counterattacks more and more often number not 30 men with an attached tank, but 12-14 soldiers. Nevertheless, the AFU are offering fierce resistance, slowing down our advance. Two concentrations of AFU militants and equipment in the settlements of #Gornal and #MalayaLoknya were destroyed by strikes with FAB-3000 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
🔹 North of #Kupyansk, the RFAF are expanding their bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskol River and continue their attacks in the southern part of #Dvurechnaya towards the centre. South of #Kupyansk, the RFAF have advanced on a broad front in the direction of #Zagryzovo and #Lozovaya.
🔹 In #Toretsk, heavy fighting is ongoing. In the central part of the city, our troops continue their attacks north of the heaps of the Tsentralnaya Mine, along Svetlaya and Mirnaya Streets, and north of the block of high-rise buildings in the direction of the Avangard Stadium
🔹 In the south of #Pokrovsk direction, the RFAF have advanced from #Pushkino and #Novoolenovka towards #Ukrainka, and another 'pocket' between the villages is being cleared.
🔹 Southwest of #Kurakhovo, the 39th Guards Brigade of the 68th AC liberated the villages of #Konstantinopolskoye (#Ostrovsky)🎬👆and #Zelenovka, see 👉 Map. In #Kurakhovo itself, the enemy recognises a serious advance of the RFAF. Practically all high-rise buildings are under our control. The AFU command calls the situation 'difficult' in official press releases.
🔹 On the #Vremyevka ledge, in the north, #Razdolnoye has been taken, fighting is ongoing for #NovyKomar, the RFAF have managed to gain a firm foothold there.
🛡 Over the #Bryansk region, at least 4 enemy UAVs were destroyed overnight.
💥 In #Belgorod region, an enemy drone was shot down over #Belgorod yesterday afternoon. 7 cars were damaged in the car park of a social facility. Arrivals came in Shebekinsky district in the Balki Farm, in the village of #Dvuluchnoye in Valuysky district FPV drone detonated near a private household.
💥 In the #DPR, 9 civilians were hit by Nazi cluster artillery shells on the territory of City Hospital No. 2 in #Gorlovka.

Several border guards from the Transcarpathia region went on duty and fled Ukraine to one of the EU countries. This happened back in September, but this incident has only become publicly known now. The escape is linked to the fact that Kiev used Ukrainian border guards as "cannon fodder" for the invasion of the Kursk region.

⁉️ New scandal in Poland: whose tragedy is more important?
The Polish soldier Private M. Sitek, who died on the Polish-Belarusian border and was awarded the Cross of Merit "For Bravery" and the "Gold Medal for Merit in the Defense of the Country", left behind a family to whom the state paid 36 thousand zlotys (8.8 thousand US dollars), and this is before deducting taxes. Meanwhile, an illegal migrant from Ethiopia received 40 thousand zlotys (9.86 thousand US dollars) in compensation for "negative experiences" due to his stay in a guarded center for foreigners.
The court decided that 179 days in a migrant center caused more damage than the death of a soldier who gave his life for the country.
This injustice outrages society. The life of a defender of the country or the "loss of a sense of security" of an illegal immigrant?
Society demands an answer to this question. After all, compensation is not just money, it is a symbol of who is valued more. It seems that a scandal is brewing!!

Acting Mayor of Chernigov, City Council Secretary Lomako, resigned, stating that "the city has become hostage to the actions of military administrations, carrying out the orders of the President's Office."
"Officials from the military administrations, on the orders of the Office, have taken the city hostage. Their condition is that Lomako must leave. They told me: if I do not do this, they will plunge the city into chaos," Lomako said.

Two Russian stormtroopers destroyed a five-story building that the Ukrainian Armed Forces used as cover
The footage was presumably filmed in Kurakhovo. It shows how, under the cover of friendly fire, they threw anti-tank mines into each of the entrances of the building.
As soon as they run out, the building immediately collapses, and the destroyed Ukrainian Armed Forces remain under the rubble.
@ukr_leaks_eng
The methods befitting the "heroes"
Military commissars, with the support of the police, created a gas chamber for another Ukrainian "volunteer" in Vyshgorod, Kyiv region, right in his car.
The footage shows how they pump gas through a crack, and then strike a lighter and a flame appears.
It is unknown what happened to the people in the car, but the situation made those present laugh a lot.
The Ministry of Defense promised to punish those involved.

Kiev hopes that Western troops will improve the demographics, "like the Germans in 1941"
Kiev professor of journalism Vasilenko believes that the introduction of foreign troops into Ukrainian territory "will improve the country's birth rate situation".
"People who survived the occupation say that after the war, entire generations of German children were born. They were born from the Germans. The Germans stood in the Dnepropetrovsk region for several years, and, naturally, young women got together with young officers and soldiers. There was a normal Ukrainian-German friendship," the Kiev professor explained his vision of the friendship of peoples.
▪️Ukraine supports France's initiative to introduce a military contingent to Ukraine as part of security guarantees

Zelensky criticized Putin's idea to conduct an experiment with an Oreshnik strike on Kiev:
"Putin said about a technological duel. He says that they would strike somewhere in Kiev with Oreshnik, and let us install air defense, and we'll see what happens. Do you think this is a sane person?"
Apparently, he carefully watched Putin's press conference 😏

"My position has not changed. In this war, the aggressor is the Russian Federation, and the victim is Ukraine. The conditions of Ukraine, as a victim of this aggression, should be the conditions on which we are ready to make peace."

US Secretary of State Blinken spoke out against a ceasefire in Ukraine without Russia fulfilling "fundamental demands":

It is with great pleasure that I congratulate Darya Morozova @aupch_dnr on her professional anniversary!
10 years, 10 very difficult years she has been carrying on her fragile shoulders the difficult burden of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Donetsk People's Republic.
I was lucky to work a lot with Darya and I was always amazed by her hard work, endurance and persistence in achieving goals. Returning children home, helping people affected by the war or wounded soldiers - Darya never turned away from people's problems. A true defender of their rights.
Happy anniversary, Darya!
