Negotiating Russian style: Russian foreign minister Lavrov said Kyiv must accept Moscow’s demands for ending the war or else suffer defeat on the battlefield.

”Accept our demands, otherwise the issue will be decided by the Russian army”.

 

So much to being open to negotiations.

Infighting between Russian mass murderer Igor Girkin who was one of the 3 found guilty of the Lockerbie plane strike and his threats to Vladimir Solovyov, one of Putin's chief propagandists on state TV:

 

Convicted mass murderer Igor Girkin has threatened one of the Kremlin’s top propagandists, Vladimir Solovyov, in a video shared on social media on Dec. 23.

Girkin, a Russian secret service agent who served as one of the main handlers for the Donetsk puppet authority, said that he wouldn’t allow Solovyov to flee Russia if the war was lost for the Russian side, the threat came following Solovyov mocking of Girkin for his alleged failures when Girkin was sent to the frontlines in Ukraine,  Solovyov said he "<deleted> off" and then fled back to Russia.

In turn, Girkin, who was recently convicted of mass murder for the deaths of the passengers on flight MH17, promised to make efforts to prevent the Russian propagandist from fleeing to Israel after the fall of the Kremlin regime.

"If our generals continue to fight like they did the last ten months, we have all chances to lose this war,” Girkin said.

Thirteen-year-old Nika Selivanova made a heart shape with both her hands, waving goodbye to her best friend Inna who was pressed up against the glass partition that divided the entrance hall of Kherson's train station from the waiting area.

 

Moments earlier, they'd hugged, tears welling up in their eyes. Inna had kissed Asia, a tan dachshund dog wrapped up in a warm blanket, carried by Nika in her arms.

Glad I'm not Ukrainian. At 67 I think I'd be next in line for mobilization. Slavs v. Slavs. Brutal. NATO, you don't even want to go there. It won"t be pretty, that's for sure, no matter who wins. Lots of mothers, sisters, weeping.

Glad I'm not russian,at any age fighting for the ego of just one little man.

Not enough food or winter gear and send to die in a country where you are hated by everyone and your own government does not really care

if you live or die.

I am getting sick and tired of some people who repeat at nauseam the same old propaganda and mis information.

 

The Ukrainian soldiers on the other hand (many will die also) have the full support of their government and their own people.

For every meter of land they take back from the invaders they are thanked and celibrated by the people they liberate and are offered warm

food and clothing.

The Ukrainians know where they are doing it all for,the Russian freeze to death in trenches and wonder what the hell they are doing there.

Slava Ukraini!

Ah, that's nice nausea, we're the same age. Did you enjoy life in the UK in the 70s? It was a lot of fun, student grants, subsidized beer at Bath Uni in 73/4, was it 12 or 20 pence a pint, I forget? Jobs a plenty. National Health? No problem, see a doc the same day you're sick.

But I digress.. 

I was listening to a Ukrainian woman talking about fighting Russia. She said the idea of losing her home, her family was too much to bear. Better to lose her life than everything she held dear.

So fight to the death it is

There is hope!

She is now safe in Poland.

The impact of her song is enormous,this is why the People of the Ukraine

fight for their country.

The russians die for no reason that can be justified.

An air raid alert has been issued across Ukraine, as a fresh wave of Russian missiles targets major cities.

Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said more than 120 missiles had been launched at the population and civilian infrastructure.

At least three people - including a 14-year-old girl - were taken to hospital after explosions hit the capital Kyiv, Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said.

Blasts were also heard in the cities of Kharkiv, Odesa, Lviv and Zhytomyr.

The regional leader of the southern province of Odesa, Maksym Marchenko, spoke of a "massive missile attack on Ukraine".

These massive missile attacks do nothing for their frontline positions, they do not make them gain any ground. Just pure blood thirsty terror tactics.

Russia Celebrates Turning Elon Musk Into a Useful Idiot

On Monday, former Russian President and current Vladimir Putin stooge Dmitry Medvedev issued a flurry of outlandish predictions on his personal Twitter account.

Among them: a Fourth Reich will be created in Europe; there will be a war between France and said Fourth Reich; Poland and Hungary will attack and occupy western regions of Ukraine; civil war will break out in the U.S., which would then split up, with Elon Musk emerging as a president; the E.U. will collapse; the International Monetary Fund would cease to exist; and all stock markets and financial activities will leave Europe and the U.S. and move to Asia.

The so-called forecast made waves in the international media, and earned a response from Twitter boss Musk, who called Medvedev’s ramblings “an epic thread.”

No one doubts the bravery or the desire of Ukrainian soldiers to defeat the Russians, but IMO the outcome depends on whether the GOP will continue to give a blank cheque to supporting them. Next year will tell us about that.

I saw that on Al Jazeera news this morning. Many missiles were intercepted ( at least one intercepted missile destroyed a Ukrainian house and damaged more ), but some got through to destroy more electrical infrastructure.
