No wonder NATO wants to escalate it to WW3.

An episode of the battle near the village of Berestki in the Kurakhovsky direction. The video shows the assault by the Russian 114th motorized rifle brigade of a fortified area of the Ukrainian army. Judging by the video, the Ukrainian army is creating sufficiently extensive fortifications

The crew of the Russian T-90M Proryv tank, of the Zapad group of forces, spoke about the tank's work from closed firing positions. Firing from closed firing positions (ZOP) is practiced today by many tankers, including those of the Ukrainian army, in many areas of the front

MOSCOW, November 27 — RIA Novosti. The materials that Russia has that can withstand ultra-high temperatures made it possible to create the Oreshnik system and will make it possible to create other types of hypersonic weapons, said Mikhail Kovalchuk, president of the Kurchatov Institute National Research Center. The Oreshnik was demonstrated the other day. Why did we do this, why did we overtake everyone? Because we are one of the five world leaders. <...> We have created hypersonic weapons in a short period of time. And these are materials that used to work at 1,500 degrees, then at 1,800, and these at 2,000, and we did it, while others did not," Kovalchuk told Izvestia on the sidelines of the IV Congress of Young Scientists, which is taking place in the federal territory of Sirius. According to him, the next step should be materials that can withstand 2,500-3,000 degrees. "Other materials that can withstand high temperatures will make it possible to create even more advanced weapons. The next step should be materials that can withstand 2500-3000 degrees,” Kovalchuk said.

'Usurpers of power in Ukraine'? In a free election Zelensky was selected by the people of Ukraine. That may not suit Putin (who incidentally was not elected in a free election) but if anyone usurped power in Ukraine, it was the people of Ukraine.

To answer your question with a question, Why doesn't Ukraine hold elections? We held elections in the civil war.

I am sure that Ukraine would have held elections if there were not an existential war going on. Something else: how do people vote in a Ukrainian election if they live in an area under Russian occupation?

Ukraine is under “martial law” right now with the permission of the Rada. Democracy and personal freedom are sacrificed for the sake of more efficient centralized war time government.

Different with archaic Russia that has no democracy and freedom for the sake of undisturbed authoritarian one man Putin’s rule with his cronies plundering the country and left the people poor without proper checks and balances from legislative and judiciary.

“Power tend to corrupt, absolute power corrupt absolutely”. That’s why power need to be limited by independent judiciary and legislatives, so the administration (executive) not too strong.

Ukraine is in martial law, has a significant portion of its population and land under occupation, is under existential threat, would need to dedicate significant resources to organizing an election (approximately $200 million), and would place the lives of its citizens at risk if they were to congregate in large numbers at voting places across the country. Ukraine's constitution provides that elections cannot be held in such a case, and this part has been in Ukraine's Constitution from before the war.

If they did hold elections.

Russia will still bitch and whine because Pro Russian candidates lost as we see with Moldova
It would still help Ukraine look less corrupt than it already is. The US during war with itself still ran elections which could have been done on the western side of Ukraine.

dropping some news
MOSCOW, November 28. /TASS/. In the past few days, the Russian Armed forces used 100 missiles and 466 Geran-2 drones, hitting 17 key Ukrainian military industrial targets in response to Kiev’s strikes deep into Russian territory, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The Russian forces used Iskander ballistic missiles for strikes on deployment locations of Western-made long-range missiles; various multiple launch rocket system launchers were destroyed. The missile strikes also hit temporary deployment locations of foreign mercenaries.

In addition, on November 28, the Russian forces carried out a combined strike at the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and its energy infrastructure.

Here are the key points about the strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial facilities.

About the response strikes


During his visit to Astana, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the strikes on Russian territory with Western-made weapons mean the direct involvement of the West in the Ukrainian conflict.

Putin noted that Russia was twice attacked with ATACMS missiles since the use of the Oreshnik missile, promising that Russia will respond to the aggression.

On the morning of November 28, the Defense Ministry announced a combined strike with 90 missiles and 100 Geran-2 drones, adding that 17 key Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises were hit.

On November 25, Iskander missiles destroyed 5 launchers using ATACMS long-range missiles in the Sumy Region: 2 MLRS launchers, 3 HIMARS launchers and up to 30 specialists.

On November 25 and 26, Iskander missiles destroyed two launchers, equipped with Grom-2 experimental ballistic missiles, as well as a launcher and a loading vehicle for the Neptune anti-ship system.

Also on November 25, the strike on the ‘Kraken’ Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) headquarters in Kharkov eliminated up to 40 foreign specialists, mainly from the United Staes.

The Iskander strike at the temporary deployment facility of the Ukrainian armed forces’ Special operations center squad eliminated 72 unmanned speedboat operators, including 9 French instructors and technical specialists.

About the missiles and the drones

Overall, in the past few days, the Russian armed forces used 100 missiles of various type and 466 Geran-2 drones.

The Russian Armed Forces continue to constantly monitor airstrips, deployment areas and movement routes of Western-made long-range weapons and strike them.

On the situation in Ukraine

Earlier this morning, air raid alarm was declared across the entire Ukraine, which lasted for about three hours. Explosions were heard in multiple Ukrainian cities.

Ukrenergo reported energy infrastructure facilities damaged in several regions. Emergency blackouts were introduced across Ukraine, which were replaced by hourly rolling blackouts later.

Later, Ukrenergo introduced 16-hour blackouts, further limiting energy consumption for subscribers across Ukraine.

Power limitations will remain in effect for the industry and business throughout Friday.

This is the second massive damaging of Ukrainian generation and distribution facilities since the beginning of November.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, on November 17, the Russian Armed Forces carried out a massive strike on Ukrainian energy and gas extraction, used to support the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.

Welcome on board.

Regarding military equipment losses, there is the source Oryx that publishes numbers of Russian and Ukrainian losses with photographic verification.

In the Budapest Memorandum Russia and the US recognised Ukraine as an independent state. Putin subsequently attacked Ukraine. Should hostilities cease, what could Ukraine possibly do to secure a peaceful future existence? Ask Russia and the US to recognise it as an independent state? On past performance that would mean Putin or some succeeding sociopath attacking Ukraine again when he was ready.

I think the only way that Ukraine can secure a peaceful future is by entering into a relationship with powerful states prepared to give Ukraine an undertaking that any attack against it would be viewed as an attack upon themselves.

IMO Biden has been weak where Putin and Ukraine have been concerned. I wonder how Trump will turn out to be.

The NATO thing'$ a complete non-$tarter. Putin would be nut$ to accept a thing like that, con$idering NATO drifting & American meddling wa$ what $piralled into what we're $eeing now anyway.

Good to $ee Zelen$ky finally paving the road and preparing hi$ people internally that they're going to have to cede a bunch of territory to Mo$cow, that wa$ plain for all rational people to $ee the minute thi$ war kicked off a couple year$ back. But yeah, NATO won't/$houldn't offer member$hip, and Putin $ure a$ hell won't accept a deal like that anyway. More Volodymyr daydreaming.

Look$ like circa 100 000 Uke$ have been *charged* with de$ertion by now, too, even pe$$imi$tic a$ I am, didn't think it'd be that high. Charged too, $o not an e$timated figure, thi$ i$ proven-and-caught. I'm $ure the Roozkie$ are dealing with the $ame phenomenon, but again, they can eat the damage that cau$e$, the Uke$ can't. $hould be intere$ting to $ee if Zelen$ky goe$ through with Biden $uppo$edly wanting him to drop the draft age from 25 to 18, too, that $hit won't go over well in-country at thi$ point, if people are already thinking the war'$ outcome i$ done.




And god I hate my keyboard. One fucking letter dying i$ $urpri$ingly fru$trating.
