Enemy resources said today that they are patrolling Kupyansk, but in fact the video was shot in Tavylzhanka, 20 km from the city.

The SBU destroyed Russian equipment worth hundreds
of millions of dollars at the Belbek airfield
This night, long-range drones of the SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center successfully practiced on Russian air defense components at the Belbek military airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea.

As a result of targeted hits by Ukrainian drones, the following were hit:

two Nebo-SVU long-range radar detection complexes (the price of each is about $60-100 million);
92N6 radar, which is a component of the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system (estimated price for the domestic market is $30 million, export - $60 million);
Pantsir-S2 anti-aircraft missile system (estimated price for the domestic market is $12 million, export - $19 million);
a MiG-31 aircraft with full ammunition (estimated price - $30-50 million, depending on the configuration and armament).

The Security Service of Ukraine continues its effective work to destroy air defense systems in Crimea, which cover important military and logistical facilities of the occupiers. The elimination of the components of this echeloned system significantly weakens the enemy's defense and military capabilities in the Crimean direction.

The EU council failed to agree to the illegal theft of the frozen assets plan and voted instead for the illegal borrowing of €90 billion plan.

The borrowing plan uses the same ‘emergency powers’ used for COVID borrowing.

What emergency exactly? Ukraine’s not even in the EU ffs.

None of this really matters because it will be the EU taxpayers footing the bill in the end anyway.

It must be dawning on the clown show that the whole gig is almost up.

Ukraine and NATO have lost and Russia will not be paying any reparations.

But in the meantime the shit show must go on, so Zelensky struts around like he's the king of the EU (with no clothes) while the actual EU leadership try to pretend they’re not all dead men walking.

The combined loan plan is basically Eurobonds, which will allow smaller countries taking out loans that the richer countries will be partially responsible for, which they don’t want, which is why they have never been used except during the pandemic.

The collapse, when it comes, will start in the bond markets when lenders drift away on the realisation EU debt has become too risky to hold, EU countries already have huge debt and zero collateral.

Unable to borrow, then the € will start to topple as EU cash also becomes too risky to hold.

Billions of €s start returning home inflating the money supply within the EU, which of course is inflation, more money chasing the same amount of goods.

Prices skyrocket, savings disappear.

The richer countries, unable to borrow sufficient amounts, will start to renege on payments to the poorer ones and the whole conglomerate will start to fracture, big pieces first, and then smaller ones.

Faced with such a disaster typically a country would look to war and robbing a neighbour to get themselves out of the shit but the EU UK started this war back in 2014 thinking sanctions would be enough and now find themselves so far behind Russia in real war readiness that to start a hot war now would be an even worse disaster.

This is why they’re now saying to the Russians ‘look, if you could just hold on for 5-10 years then we’ll be ready, how about a ceasefire in the meantime perhaps?’

Meanwhile, around the world in Venezuela, Trump has got himself in a real pickle. Having eventually decided that a sea blockade was the way to go. Russia and China then decided to send some ships and the Venezuelan navy started escorting shipping in and out of ports.

If the US blocks passage of Russian and Chinese ships it would be an act of war and so the US navy is just letting ships through even before the Russia Chinese ships arrive.

So not much of a blockade then, reminder that Trump is a bullshitter and more and more countries are calling him out. Trump wants Venezuelan oil but doesn’t want to partner Maduro to get it. The only other option is actual war which, thankfully, Trump seems disinclined to do in spite of all the constant threats.

A warship and other enemy facilities were hit
In order to reduce the enemy's military-economic potential, on the night of December 19, the Defense Forces of Ukraine successfully hit a Russian warship of project 22460 "Okhotnik". It was patrolling in the Caspian Sea near an oil and gas production platform. Several Ukrainian drones hit this ship. The extent of damage and the ship's side number are being clarified.
A drilling platform at the Filanovsky oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea was also hit. The facility belongs to Lukoil. The platform ensures oil and gas production and is involved in providing the armed forces of the Russian aggressor.
Its further operational capability and the scale of the damage are being clarified.
In addition, in order to reduce the enemy's offensive capabilities, the RSP-6M2 radar system was recently hit in the Krasnosilske area, which is in the temporarily occupied territory of the Ukrainian Crimea. The RSP-6M2 is designed to regulate the movement of aircraft, in particular for their precise approach to landing in conditions of poor visibility.
The Defense Forces will continue to take measures to undermine the offensive potential of the invaders and force the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine.
To be continued!
Glory to Ukraine!

And so another round of waste of time negotiations ends with the 2 sides still at opposite ends of the spectrum and the Americans scratching their heads not able to figure out why.

It’s actually very simple.

The Russians, very understandably, see NATO in Ukraine as an existential threat and so will not rest until NATO is gone and Ukraine is returned to neutrality, and the NATO built Ukrainian army is gone, and the Ukrainian neonazi regime is kicked out of Kiev.

There never was any point in the Americans trying to bargain at all.

There never was any point in the Ukrainians trying to get the Russians to just give up.

There was never any point in the Europeans trying to weaken and hurt Russia.

All along Russia was obviously going to win the conventional war because, being a nuclear superpower, if Russia ever looked like losing against what they rightly considered an existential threat, then they absolutely would use nuclear weapons.

Of course they would, that’s what they’re for, that’s why the US has them, but if you missed it, Putin said very clearly, very early on, that ‘there would not be a world without Russia in it’.

The above reveals the degrees of seriousness between the Russians and the West. Russia sees the conflict as existential and so can not give up until all the aims are met, the West knows it’s not existential for themselves. The West wants compromises whereas the Russians can’t.

The only thing that has changed over the last 10 years and the 3 broken peace agreements, that were all broken by Ukraine and the West, is the price that Ukraine will pay that continues to increase every single day for making Russia go to the trouble of having to kick NATO out.

That’s what the Americans and the Europeans don’t get and why all the talk of ceasefires, NATO peacekeepers, Ukraine in NATO, Ukraine with another huge NATO armed and trained army, was always a total waste of time.

How could they not have known this? All this was known from the start.

Because of greed for the Russian natural resources and they got lost in their own propaganda bullshit.

The West pretending that this conflict was nothing to do with NATO and is really just about Russian expansion and imperialism remains the problem.

The West knew this war could happen back in 2008 when they decided to aim for Ukraine to join NATO, the Russians warned them then this would happen.

And the longer this war goes on the worse things will be for Ukrainians after it's over, except for Zelensky, obviously.

Once started of course a quick end was never possible, the US had invested too much to just give up and by the time they did the EU/UK had taken out so much in loans to keep the war going that to give up meant total bankruptcy and the fall of the EU, and the fall of all the political leaders who backed this debacle.

No one wants to pay the bills coming due once it’s over so can’t stop now, the only one who actually could stop it now is Zelensky and he’s doing very well thank you very much.

The war should have ended a long time ago, when the main weapon (sanctions) didn't work. Ukrainians would still have a country, with a healthy population, an economy and an infrastructure, and friends who weren’t bankrupt.

Now Ukrainians are going to have nothing, and that’s all they will have for decades to come.
