This may sound weird, but Turkey should offer training regiment to Ukraine and partially pick the soldiers they train. Imagine it as an opportunity to Tatars in Ukraine :)
I will say it again and again
Erdo will never delve too deep into Ukraine; in order to not antagonise the Russians
As long as Turkish scientists are studying nuclear tech in Russia and Russia is providing expertise to build nuclear facilities to the turks, Erdo will never piss Russia off too much

Foreign Minister Kuleba to Putin: The attack will cost expensive for the Russian Federation

25 November 2021, 11:45

https://korrespondent.net/ukraine/politics/4420632-kuleba-putynu-napadenye-budet-doroho-stoyt-rf



Kuleba warned Putin about the consequences of the attack on Ukraine

The Ukrainian minister advises the Russian president not to attack Ukraine. Kuleba is sure that the Russian Federation will not succeed.

An attack on Ukraine will cost Russia too much, says Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba. He said this at a briefing on Thursday, November 25.





"We are not trying to understand what is in Putin's head. This is a thankless task. We are working to ensure that a clear understanding appears in her: a new attack on Ukraine will be too expensive, so it should not be done," Kuleba said.

He noted that the diplomats are faced with the task of organizing a high level of international support so that there is no new wave of war.

At the same time, Kuleba believes that now we are talking about Russian aggression not only against Ukraine.

"The Kremlin is raising the stakes in the entire region and seeks to undermine the security architecture that has developed in Europe since the end of the Cold War. You can say to take revenge for the defeat that occurred 30 years ago," the minister said.

But, in his opinion, the Russian Federation will not be able to do this. This must be prevented by the restraint and strength of Ukraine, as well as the forces of a coordinated reaction of the world.

Duda proposed to increase the readiness of NATO forces in eastern Europe

25 November 2021, 17:58


The expansion of the military presence of NATO forces near the border with Ukraine is necessary to demonstrate the protection of the security of the Allies.

Polish President Andrzej Duda proposed NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg to expand the Alliance's military presence in eastern Europe due to the situation in Ukraine. TASS reports.

"I proposed to the Secretary General to increase the readiness of NATO forces in this part of Europe on the eastern flank of NATO," the Polish leader said at a joint press conference with Stoltenberg.

According to Duda, the Alliance forces should also strengthen not only strategic observation, but also the readiness of NATO units.

This should be done in order to show the aggressor that the Alliance "is not only ready for defense, but also for the protection of the security of the allies with whom it cooperates, including Ukraine."

Andrzej Duda also said that the Polish authorities do not see a direct military threat on the Polish-Belarusian border and no reason to use the fourth article of the NATO treaty.

"We want to use it (the fourth article, - ed.) Only when the situation requires it. Now the situation does not meet the qualifications of the fourth article. There is no immediate military threat, there is no military attack on any neighboring country," he said.

At the same time, the President of Poland stressed, there is a "dangerous development of the situation" on the border and "nothing indicates a decrease in tension on the border", which "can continue for many months."

Note that the fourth NATO article provides that "the contracting parties will always consult with each other if, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the contracting parties is threatened."

Blinken and Stoltenberg discussed the situation near the Russian-Ukrainian border

Prior to that, the Kremlin had informed in which case they would attack Ukraine. Russia intends to draw new red lines regarding the military-political bloc, Moscow said.

At the end, just like with Crimea, Putin will annex Ukraine and will give the middle finger to the rest of the world. What will the world do in retaliation? Bloody Sanctions, lool

I don't think Russia cares particularly much about Donbas, since people there are living in squalor. They only really care about Crimea and not for the reasons people think (warm water port - Russia already has 3 other naval bases on the Black Sea) but because they wanted to block Ukraine from being able to exploit the gas resources there to become a competitor to Russia. Additionally, Russia didn't even achieve all that they wanted to in their previous military expeditions. And that was a fairly backwards and incompetent Ukrainian army that still managed to hold them off.

NATO might not go to war but Russia will suffer if they attack. And they know it. Crimea is already a net loss for them just to maintain that place.

Day in the OOS: 14 shelling, APU without losses

26 November 2021, 07:59



The separatists actively used 82 and 120 caliber mortars, which were prohibited by the Minsk agreements.

Over the past day, the separatists fired 14 times at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas, including four times with weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements. This was reported by the press center of the Joint Forces operation headquarters in the morning report on Friday, November 26.






So, in the direction of Luhansk, the enemy opened fire three times from grenade launchers of different systems. In the direction of Avdiivka, two attacks were made from 82 and 120 caliber mortars.

In the Lebedinsky area, the separatists used 120 caliber mortars. And in the direction of Pivdenny, they fired from small arms.

Also in the Novotoshkovsky area, enemy troops opened fire twice, using anti-tank and automatic heavy grenade launchers.

The positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Katerinovka came under fire from grenade launchers of various systems, heavy machine guns and other small arms. And in the direction of Popasnaya and Novoaleksandrovka, the separatists fired from grenade launchers of different systems.

In the area of Krasnogorovka, 82-caliber mortars opened fire. And near Svetlodarsk - from easel anti-tank grenade launchers.

In turn, the Ukrainian military opened return fire without using weapons prohibited by the Minsk agreements.

Since the beginning of this day, there have been no violations of the ceasefire by the separatists.

The day before, nine violations of the ceasefire were recorded in the Donbas. Then the Ukrainian military did not suffer either.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine uncovered coup plot planned for next week​

BY AGENCIES​

ISTANBUL NOV 26, 2021 - 2:47 PM GMT+3

Ukraine has uncovered a plot for an attempted coup due to take place next week, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday, at a press conference where he also spoke of a threat of military escalation from Russia.

"We have challenges not only from the Russian Federation and possible escalation - we have big internal challenges. I received information that a coup d'etat will take place in our country on Dec. 1-2," Zelenskyy said. He did not give details of the coup attempt.

Although he did not accuse the Russian state of involvement, the Kremlin released a statement denying "such acts." It said Russia had no plans to take part in the alleged coup plot against Zelenskyy.

Russia has been building up forces near its border with Ukraine, and Kyiv, the United States and NATO have voiced concerns about a possible Russian attack – a suggestion the Kremlin has dismissed as false and alarmist.

Moscow and Kyiv have traded blame for rising tensions in recent weeks, raising fears that a long-running conflict between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists could erupt into renewed open warfare.

Zelenskyy said Friday Ukraine was ready to take on Russia if Moscow decides to move troops across the border.

"There is a threat today that there will be war tomorrow," Zelenskyy told a news conference. "We are in full control of our borders and are fully prepared for any escalation," Zelenskyy said.

"We need to depend on ourselves, on our army. It is powerful," he added, according to remarks carried by Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Earlier this week, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warned Russia that it will "pay dearly" for an invasion.

The Ukrainian army has come a long way since 2014 when it was caught off guard by Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Ukraine and its Western allies also accused Russia of sending troops and arms across the border to support separatists who carved out two statelets in the east, but Moscow has denied those claims.

Kyiv's soldiers have since accumulated combat experience and received arms and hardware from Western allies, particularly the United States which has committed $2.5 billion in support of Ukraine's forces since 2014. The conflict in the east has claimed more than 13,000 lives.

Bloomberg named the problem for the invasion of Ukraine

27 November 2021,


The Russian army will have to increase its force in order to achieve a significant numerical advantage, experts say.

Analysts interviewed by Bloomberg suggested that in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, the operation would begin no earlier than January due to weather conditions and poor road conditions, RBC writes on November 27.

For example, the agency refers to the expert of the Jamestown Foundation, Pavel Felgenhauer, who told reporters that "this time of year we have Rasputitsa (this is the word used by Bloomberg), that is, dirt."

In his opinion, in the event of an offensive, Russian units will need to bypass the Ukrainian grouping in the Donbas along the flanks, and then gain a foothold in their positions.

"To achieve this, tanks and other military equipment will have to move on black soil, which is not possible now. But as soon as the frosts hit, they will be able to go wherever they want," the expert said.

In addition, according to Felgenhauer, the Russian army will have to increase its grouping in order to achieve a significant numerical advantage (2-3 times). In his opinion, "not all the necessary units have been deployed to the Ukrainian border yet."

In turn, the former NATO adviser on Russia, Andrew Monaghan, suggested that the strengthening of the Russian military presence on the Ukrainian border may be due to Moscow's dissatisfaction with how the terms of the Minsk agreement on the settlement in Donbas are being respected.

He pointed out that Russia disagrees with how Ukraine is implementing this agreement, and therefore believes that if diplomacy does not work, then the military should get involved.

At the end of October, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the use by the military of the Turkish Bayraktar attack drone in the Donbas. Moscow called this a violation of the Minsk agreements and Kiev's preparation for the return of Donbass by force.

Shortly after reports of the use of a combat drone in the Western media, a series of publications appeared that Russia was again concentrating troops and military equipment closer to the Ukrainian border. The West suspected Moscow of preparing a new invasion and sent destroyers to the Black Sea for exercises, in which Ukraine also took part.

Russia issues threat to GPS satellites

The Kremlin warned it could blow up 32 GPS satellites with its new anti-satellite technology, ASAT, which it tested Nov. 15 on a retired Soviet Tselina-D satellite, according to numerous news reports.

Russia then claimed on state television that its new ASAT missiles could obliterate NATO satellites and “blind all their missiles, planes and ships, not to mention the ground forces,” said Russian Channel One TV host Dmitry Kiselyov, rendering the West’s GPS-guided missiles useless. “It means that if NATO crosses our red line, it risks losing all 32 of its GPS satellites at once.”

The International Space Station (ISS) Flight Control team was notified of indications of a satellite breakup, causing 1,500 pieces of debris to threaten the station. “Due to the debris generated by the destructive Russian Anti-Satellite (ASAT) test, ISS astronauts and cosmonauts undertook emergency procedures for safety,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

“With its long and storied history in human spaceflight, it is unthinkable that Russia would endanger not only the American and international partner astronauts on the ISS, but also their own cosmonauts,” Nelson said. “Their actions are reckless and dangerous, threatening as well the Chinese space station and the taikonauts on board. All nations have a responsibility to prevent the purposeful creation of space debris from ASATs and to foster a safe, sustainable space environment.

“Russia has demonstrated a deliberate disregard for the security, safety, stability and long-term sustainability of the space domain for all nations,” Gen. James Dickinson, commander of U.S. Space Command, said. “Russia’s tests of direct-ascent anti-satellite weapons clearly demonstrate that Russia continues to pursue counterspace weapon systems that undermine strategic stability and pose a threat to all nations.”

The Turks ruled that region for a thousand years and were there before either the vikings or the slavs, the idea that its Russias back garden because they ruled it for about 200 years is no more then propaganda. If i remember correctly when the Vikings from the north did first get keivan Rus it was the cuman Turks who eventually defeated them and sent them packing further north.

We see this in the media all the time, when Ukraine is referred to as Russias back garden. The Turks ruled the greeks for 3 times as long and its never referred to as a Turkish back garden, the Turks ruled syria and iraq for close to a thousand years and no media calls it Turkeys back garden.

Russia cannot prevent Ukraine from getting closer to NATO, - Kuleba

RIGA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 01, 2021 16:58






The Russian Federation cannot prevent Ukraine from moving closer to NATO. And Russia has no right to vote on this issue.

This was stated at a press conference in Riga by Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, RBC-Ukraine correspondent reports.

"Russia cannot prevent Ukraine from moving closer to NATO and has no right to speak in relevant discussions. Any Russian proposal to discuss with NATO or the United States or other countries any so-called guarantees that the alliance will not expand to the east is illegitimate." he declared.

We will remind, earlier the president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin offered to begin negotiations on legal guarantees not of expansion of NATO to the east.

Today, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance would help build Ukraine's military capabilities.
