Stop wasting time with these charades and focus on the only thing that will end the war: kicking Russia out of Ukraine.
Once again proving that yet another round of fake negotiations was only meant to serve as theatrical background for the Trump family to remove Russia sanctions while blaming Ukraine, Putin's chief negotiator Medinsky in Abu Dhabi confirms that Putin still intends on occupying Ukraine.
"We will return every inch of OUR land".

🇺🇦 In 1994, Ukraine gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal
This archival footage shows Bill Clinton, Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Kravchuk signing a trilateral statement on nuclear disarmament.
Promises to respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and existing borders were made back then. These assurances were later formalised in the Budapest Memorandum.

The Sunday after my husband told me he was going to file for divorce, I sat in an empty row at church. The assistant pastor saw me and, knowing what had happened, stepped out from where he’d been worshiping with his family and walked down the aisle to me. He put his arm around me, said “I am so sorry,” and let me cry. Instead of returning to his row, he stood next to me for a few songs so I didn’t have to worship alone. I can’t tell this story or even think about it without tearing up. My baggage doesn’t scare away my brothers and sisters in Christ; it gives them a chance to demonstrate his love. And I get to receive it. “For the body does not consist of one member but of many,” the apostle writes. “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together” (1 Cor. 12:14, 26).

Kyiv Mayor Klitschko: Kyiv has the largest district heating system in the world. If it is destroyed, a city of over 3 million can be left without heat.
What Russia is doing is genocide. It wants to make Kyiv unfit to live in, to freeze people.

Will the Memphis folks whining about being outspent by Vanderbilt and using it as the reason you lost by 23, keep up similar rhetoric when you are on the other side of the $$$ in American Conference play?

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV’S WARNING TO PUTIN: RUSSIA WILL NOT ENJOY PEACE WHILE OCCUPYING UKRAINE!
Kyrylo Budanov has made Ukraine’s position clear: operations inside Russia will continue as long as Moscow occupies Ukrainian territory, with their reach depending on the resources available.
His message challenges a fundamental assumption behind Russia’s invasion.
Moscow cannot expect to wage war across Ukraine while remaining insulated from its consequences at home.
And as Ukraine develops greater long-range capabilities, the distance between the front line and Russian military infrastructure becomes increasingly less reassuring.
For the Kremlin, occupying Ukrainian territory comes with a cost that cannot simply be confined to the battlefield.
Budanov’s warning is ultimately about leverage: until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored, Russia should not assume the consequences of its invasion will remain outside its own borders.

💥 TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE IN LENINGRAD! ⚡️🔥
Losing a Ka-52, Mi-8, and MiG-31 alongside all 7 crew members during a single drone raid points to a catastrophic collapse of air coordination! 🚨
💥 HOW IT HAPPENED: THE TOP 3 SCENARIOS:
🚀 Panic Friendly Fire (Fratricide): Swarm attacks trigger absolute chaos. Blinded by heavy EW and transponder failures, panicking SAM crews (Pantsir/S-400) routinely mistake their own low-flying interceptors for incoming hostile drones! 🎯❌
🚁💥🛩 Mid-Air Collisions in the Dark: Scrambling high-speed jets alongside night-hunting helicopters in blackout conditions creates a lethal environment where spatial disorientation leads to direct mid-air strikes.
📡⚡️ Electronic Warfare Self-Sabotage: Aggressive GPS spoofing and radar jamming disrupt onboard terrain sensors, driving low-altitude crews straight into the ground or each other!
💀 WHY NO ONE SURVIVED
Zero Altitude: Drone-hunting occurs near tree-top level—leaving zero time for ejection or parachute deployment before impact.
Trapped in the Cockpit: A high-speed collision or SAM impact ruins the Ka-52’s rotor-blade jettison mechanism, preventing ejection! 💥🚫
⚡️ THE BOTTOM LINE: Friendly fire, low-altitude collisions, or EW self-sabotage—losing 3 front-line aircraft and 7 elite aviators hundreds of miles behind the frontlines is an unprecedented operational disaster! 📉🔥

🔥 BREAKING: Ukrainian SBU drones reportedly struck the russian missile warship Naro-Fominsk in the Gulf of Finland!
The vessel carries cruise missiles and is part of russia’s naval strike capabilities.
Reports indicate russian crew members were killed and wounded.

Ukrainian Defenders carried out a unique combat operation:
For the first time, an unmanned ground vehicle was deployed by air to the Russian-occupied left bank of the Dnipro River. It was used to destroy a Russian drone operators' position.
▪️ A Perun bomber drone delivered a kamikaze UGV carrying a 7 kg warhead to the left bank. The deployment was successful, with the robot remaining fully operational and maintaining control and communications.
▪️ The UGV then proceeded along its route independently. Along the way, Russian positions were detected from the UGV and from the air, with each target immediately struck by FPV drones.
▪️ The final destination was the entrance to a building used by Russian drone operators. When a Russian soldier emerged from the doorway, the Ukrainian operator detonated the UGV. The position was then struck again by FPV drones.
Glory!

MORE: Russian officials used the Abu Dhabi talks to try to persuade US and Ukrainian officials to accept Russia’s carefully crafted fictional version of the frontline. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated on November 10 that Russian military and intelligence officials falsely claimed to the US and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi that Russian forces control half of the part of Donbas that Ukrainian forces, in reality, still control. The Kremlin has long made exaggerated and grossly inaccurate claims of Russian battlefield successes. The Russian MoD, in fact, regularly claims a frontline trace that does not correspond with reality at all.
NEW: Senior Kremlin officials explicitly and emphatically articulated Moscow’s persistent demands for complete Ukrainian capitulation and territorial concessions that extend far beyond Donbas. Kremlin officials have frequently claimed that the Ukrainian withdrawal from all of Donetsk Oblast is a necessary but insufficient condition for a peace settlement, and Putin and other high-ranking Kremlin officials have often reiterated Russia’s commitment to Putin’s June 2024 demands.
Ukrainian forces maintain control over 0.38 percent of Luhansk Oblast, 20.12 percent of Donetsk Oblast, 24.42 percent of Zaporizhia Oblast, and 30.11 percent of Kherson Oblast, but Putin continues to demand territory that his forces have been unable to seize.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has laid out a five-point plan for peace in Ukraine:
1. Integrate Ukraine into NATO’s missile, air and drone defences and send all Patriots to Kyiv
2. Unfreeze Russian assets and give them to Ukraine
3. Enforce more sanctions on Russia and ban all Russian fossil fuel supplies to Europe
4. Move the Coalition of the Willing into Ukraine to defend rear areas and critical infrastructure
5. Develop ironclad security guarantees and expel countries from the Coalition that aren’t willing to fight Russia if a ceasefire breaks down

This afternoon russians struck Kharkiv again. Drone hit the roadway, setting a passenger car on fire. Two people inside, the driver and a passenger, were killed on the spot‼️
People were simply driving in their car. Russia decided to kill them for no reason other than terrorism.

🇵🇱 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski:
- American negotiators are mistaken if they think this war is only about territory. Giving up two cities in Donbas would not end the war. It would merely pause it.
- Russia needs Ukraine to become a global superpower.
- Ukrainians are fighting to remain independent, democratic, and European.
- Russian occupation means filtration camps, abducted children, forced Russification, and repression.
- Ukraine can now produce drones and cruise missiles without American components. It cannot simply be forced into surrender.
- Ukraine appears to have struck Russia’s Finance Ministry data center, potentially disrupting tax collection.
- Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities cause enormous civilian casualties but do not destroy Ukraine’s ability to hold the front.
- Hypersonic missiles are extremely difficult to intercept. It is easier to destroy the aircraft launching them or the factories producing them.
“We can help.”

The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds
Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed — “one way or another”.
The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.
