EXPOSED: US merc leads gang of hired ‘stormtroopers’ near Avdeevka, peddling claims of 'success'
Ryan O'Leary, a former Iowa National Guard who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, is now commanding a mercenary group called "Chosen Company" in the Ukrainian army near Avdeevka, Sputnik has discovered.
▪️The Chosen Company, also known as The Chosen, claims to be a group of mercenary stormtroopers operating as part of the Storm 59th Brigade of the Ukrainian army (photo 1).
▪️Led by O'Leary, 'the Chosen' has been involved in battles near Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, and is currently fighting near Avdeevka (photo 2). These areas have been particularly devastating for the Ukrainian army.
▪️The US mercenary boasts that his group has grown from 10-12 members to 30 and portrays their work as "effective but thriving" (photo 3). However, this does not accurately reflect the actual challenges faced by the 59th brigade in Avdeevka.
▪️In his posts, O'Leary criticizes the US government for its reluctance to supply new weapons to Kiev (photo 4) and appeals to President Biden to send drones if he is unwilling to send tanks (photo 5).
▪️O'Leary argues that taking actions to weaken Russia's military and country is the most pro-American stance one can take (photo 6).
▪️The US mercenary also offers his assistance to terrorist cells in Syria, Iran, or Burma by providing a “full tailored drone program” free of charge (photos 7, 8).

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Netanyahu visited the Gaza Strip and said the military "asked not to stop"
“We are not stopping, we are continuing to fight and we are deepening the fighting in the coming days, and this will be a long battle and it is not close to being over. We need patience, unity, and to stick to our mission,” said Netanyahu at a meeting of the Likud faction meeting in Knesset.
“Everyone asked me only one thing: that we don’t stop and continue on until the end,” he added.

💱🌐 Events of 2023 herald 'de facto start of organized new economic order'
As 2023 comes to a close, this year may be looked upon as “de facto the beginning of an organized new economic order,” Paul Goncharoff, a businessman and chief manager of consulting firm Goncharoff, LLC, told Sputnik, stressing that the West’s “unprecedented extraterritorial measures” are accelerating de-dollarization, that is, the global shift away from the US greenback.

“When a country uses the dollar, it effectively surrenders part of its economic sovereignty to Washington, which alone enjoys the right to print dollars and set US monetary policy,” Goncharoff pointed out, adding, however, that the multipolar approach was “already changing the structural financial systems of the world.”

Tears of Joy: Donetsk civilians celebrate liberation of Maryinka
Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley (@TXDPR) explained that for years, the Ukrainian military used Maryinka as a key launching pad for drone and artillery strikes against Donetsk. That reign of terror has finally come to an end.
“This victory is personal for me and my family - My wife and her family are from Petrovsky, my wife and I lived there for three years before the beginning of the SMO, but moved to the city center because of heavy shelling about two years ago. Our house in Petrovsky has been damaged three times by shelling - not directly hit, but from heavy artillery shells landing within 100 meters of our house multiple times. We were lucky. Some of our close neighbors were killed. Many people never understood that the Petrovsky District was closer to the Nazis in Maryinka than to the Donetsk city center.
There are tears of joy in Petrovsky tonight. The last couple of months have seen a major escalation of targeted attacks specifically against civilians there, that have taken a heavy toll, both physically and spiritually. Those attacks will now diminish, and while there is no easy road ahead, the liberation of Maryinka is a huge stepping stone towards the defeat of the Nazis in Avdeevka, and the eventual liberation and de-nazification of Ukraine.”

I have close friends among those who liberated Maryinka, and one great friend who died in the effort, and did not live to see the task completed. And he was not alone. There is no victory without sacrifice, and great sacrifices were made to reach this seminal turning point in the war. And make no mistake, though on a smaller scale, this victory is every bit as profound as the liberation of Bakhmut. It is not just a turning point in this war, it is the point of no return.
