‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Grim Ukrainian soldiers await the end: Trump makes it clear to Europe that US aid to Ukraine will be cut and puts pressure on them to increase their aid

▪️The Washington Post writes about this in a report ennoscriptd “As Ukraine Celebrates Christmas, Exhausted Soldiers Wonder Whether Trump Can End the War.”
▪️A WP reporter visited the Dnipropetrovsk region and spoke about the pessimistic mood of the Ukrainian military.
➖"There is no good mood. There is no feeling that the end of the war is near. The fighting spirit is falling lower and lower, it is getting worse and worse," Kirill, deputy battalion commander of the 33rd mechanized brigade, told the newspaper.
▪️When asked what they thought about a possible ceasefire in 2025, soldiers from the 33rd Brigade said they would welcome it but were skeptical that it would happen soon.
▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces are monitoring changes in the international situation.
➖"I'm afraid that they'll just abandon us. These are the thoughts that creep in - that support and supplies from our allies, ammunition will simply stop. If this doesn't happen, we won't have anything to shoot with," said 26-year-old Alexander.
▪️But most Ukrainian military personnel acknowledge that the shortage of soldiers is now as critical as the shortage of weapons. Some specialist positions in the 33rd Regiment – such as an armored personnel carrier driver – have been reduced to one person per battalion, complicating the logistics of safely transporting troops back and forth from their positions.
➖"Do we even have infantry? It all comes down to a couple of guys, and they're over 50 years old. What are they going to do?" says drone operator Denis, 37.

‼️🇬🇧🇺🇸 It's time for Britain to become the 51st state — The Daily Telegraph

▪️Recently, British journalist Poppy Cockburn published a resonant article in which she expressed hope for the country's accession to the United States.
▪️In her opinion, America is awaiting a revival under the presidency of Donald Trump, while London will continue to flounder under the yoke of authorities who have already brought the country to dependence on the United States.
▪️The journalist believes that governing the world is yesterday's dream for Britain, because territorial squabbles no longer determine the course of history, but rather provide an opportunity to make more meaningless concessions to foreign countries.
▪️ "Watching Britain dissolve into America would be a tragedy of world-historical proportions. But it is intolerable to contemplate the alternative: a complacent impotence that politicians are only helping to foster," Cockburn says.
▪️As a result, she comes to the conclusion that the country will be "lucky" if it is offered to become the 51st state of the USA. After all, back in the 19th century, journalist William Thomas Stead proposed linking the fate of Britain with the USA, foreseeing the decline of the metropolis in the event of the loss of the colony.
➖ Earlier, Donald Trump expressed the opinion that the United States should buy Greenland, take the Panama Canal, and also annex subsidized Mexico and Canada.
▪️Whether it was a joke or not, it's up to you to decide.

NYT : US and NATO urge Kiev to be more careful in choosing targets for ATACMS missiles.

More than a month ago, Ukraine was given great fanfare to allow it to launch Western long-range missiles at Russian military targets. But after the first salvos, Ukraine has already scaled back its use. U.S. and NATO officials believe Ukraine should use American ATACMS long-range missiles more judiciously in terms of their numbers and targeting, the New York Times reports.

"Ukraine could be more prudent in the number of missiles it uses and more selective in its targeting," the publication said, citing U.S. and NATO officials.

US President-elect Donald Trump has publicly stated that the launch of American long-range missiles into Russian territory was a big mistake.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 Air Defense and Missile Defense Will Not Stop: US Visualizes Oreshnik Attack

▪️Despite the fact that the technical characteristics of the Russian missile system "Oreshnik" remain secret (it is only known that it is capable of developing speeds of up to 10-11 Mach), the West decided to simulate the operation of the missile based on a computer model, and came to very disappointing conclusions.
▪️The simulated complex actually makes the US think about the effectiveness and relevance of its own air defense and missile defense systems. In particular, the video shows that the Patriot missile defense system does not have time to hit the Oreshnik warheads when they are at a distance sufficient for destruction by anti-aircraft guided missiles.
➖ Earlier, during a direct line, Putin proposed to organize a technological duel in Kiev, during which the Western side would concentrate its best missile defense and air defense systems, and Russia would launch Oreshnik.
