📹 Protesters throw Molotov cocktails at police in Georgia

A new round of protests began on Sunday evening, marking the fourth day of demonstrations by pro-Western opposition groups in Georgia. The protesters are shooting fireworks at the police and the Georgian Parliament building, as well as throwing Molotov cocktails.

Georgian special forces are using water cannons to disperse the demonstrators.

The protests are in response to the decision to delay discussions on the country's EU membership until 2028, a move announced by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze last Thursday.

🇷🇺 Druzhba pipeline damaged, Poland's operator not ruling out any causes, including sabotage

The Polish operator of the Druzhba oil pipeline, PERN, does not rule out any causes for the pipeline's damage, including sabotage, a company spokesperson told Sputnik.

"At present, experts are working on restoring the oil flow, addressing the consequences of the leak, and investigating the causes of the incident," the spokesperson said.


Until an expert opinion is received, "none of the versions, including intentional damage to the pipeline or a purely technical cause for the incident, are being ruled out," he added.

Earlier, the State Fire Service of the republic reported a leak from the Druzhba oil pipeline in the Pniewo district of the Greater Poland Voivodeship. There is no threat of fire or explosion due to the incident. The operator has shut down one of the pumping stations.

The western section of the Druzhba oil pipeline connects the raw material base in Mishevka Strzalkowski near Płock with the oil refinery in Schwedt, Germany.

🤡 Biden Admin rushing to spend 'every dollar that Congress has appropriated to us' on Ukraine – Sullivan

The Biden Administration is ramping up arms deliveries to Ukraine, rushing to spendevery dollar that Congress has appropriated to us by the time that Biden leaves office,” US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told ABC News.

💬 “Biden directed me to oversee a massive surge in the military equipment that we are delivering to Ukraine,” Sullivan claimed.


Meanwhile, about two weeks ago, in another interview, Sullivan claimed that no matter what the US gives Ukraine, it lacks manpower.

💬 “There's not a straight line between those weapon systems and how it does on the battlefield. Where is the straightest line between Ukrainian performance and inputs? It’s on mobilization of manpower,” Sullivan claimed previously.


Russia has repeatedly emphasized that Western military aid for NATO’s proxy war in Ukraine only prolongs the conflict and has warned that arms shipments are legitimate military targets.

❗️ Biden's statement on his pardon for Hunter

US President Joe Biden said in a statement circulated by the White House that he had signed a pardon for his son Hunter on two criminal charges, claiming that they were politically motivated.

"Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter," Biden said.


The president recalled that at the beginning of his term, he had promised not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and kept his word word even seeing his son "being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted."

"No reasonable person who looks at the facts of Hunter’s cases can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son – and that is wrong," Biden said. "In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough."


He also claimed that Hunter had been "five and a half years sober."

"I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further," he added.


President Biden and other White House officials have repeatedly stated that he would not pardon his son before leaving office.

Mass desertion of Ukrainian brigade signals growing frustration with military shortcomings

More Ukrainian soldiers have deserted in the first 10 months of this year than in the previous two years of the war, the Financial Times reports.

In one notable case in late October, hundreds of infantrymen serving in Ukraine's 123rd Brigade abandoned their positions in the eastern town of Ugledar.

💬 "We arrived [in Ugledar] with only automatic rifles. They said there would be 150 tanks, there were 20 ... and nothing to cover us," a Ukrainian military officer told reporters.


Between January and October of this year, Ukrainian prosecutors opened 60,000 cases against soldiers for abandoning their positions – almost twice as many as in 2022 and 2023 combined. If convicted, the men face prison sentences of up to 12 years.
