Apparently, wiretaps have been found in Zaluzhny's office, along with the offices of his employees.

I wonder who these belonged to? Zelensky or the CIA? I'm willing to bet it's the Americans, especially after their most recent visits.

💥 If the EU does this, then Hungary should announce its immediate exit from the EU, a declaration of stronger ties and cooperation with Russia, and an invite to Russian military bases and forces being stationed on Hungary's territory. Let's see how quickly the EU buckles.

EU could stop Hungary voting on Ukraine – FT
Published: 18 Dec 2023 | 11:41 GMT

The activation of Article 7 was reportedly floated after Budapest blocked a massive financial support package for Kiev.

The possibility of Hungary temporarily forfeiting its voting rights within the European Union is reportedly being considered, the Financial Times has claimed. This development comes after heightened discussions, especially after Budapest opposed a €50 billion ($54 billion) four-year financial aid package for Ukraine during last Thursday’s EU summit.

While Hungary did not ultimately block the initiation of EU accession talks with Kiev, as previously threatened, the Central European nation maintains a divergent stance on Ukraine compared to the bloc’s official position. Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has consistently criticized Brussels’ plans for Ukraine’s full EU membership and Western countries’ belief in Kiev’s military capability against Russia.

According to the Financial Times’ report published on Monday, citing anonymous officials, some EU members are considering activating Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union, which allows states to lose certain rights if persistently in breach of core EU principles.

The report pointed out, however, that many countries are hesitant to use this perceived nuclear option. Instead, these nations prefer revealing to Budapest the “full costs” of its isolation.

An anonymous EU staffer told the media outlet that while “Hungary can create more trouble,” it will not be able to “stop us providing money to Ukraine.” The official disagreed with those who like to paint Orban as “Putin’s puppet,” adding that the Hungarian prime minister is pursuing his own agenda.

The FT quoted another unnamed EU diplomat as saying that Orban is “always transactional, never ideological” and is merely seeking the unfreezing of €20 billion worth of EU funding, which Brussels had suspended over concerns related to the rule of law in the Central European country.

The Hungarian prime minister and his foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, however, dismissed such claims last week.

On the other hand, Lithuanian MEP Rasa Jukneviciene asserted on Friday that Orban is working for Russia and undermining the EU from within.

“I appeal to the Commission, to the leaders of the Council: Let’s start to think about the procedure to suspend the voting rights of Hungary,” the lawmaker implored.

Speaking to Hungary’s Radio Kossuth on Friday, Orban highlighted that Budapest still has approximately 75 opportunities to impede Kiev’s path to EU membership. He has raised concerns about what he describes as endemic corruption in Ukraine on multiple occasions.

🇮🇷🇾🇪 Among all the recent attempts made by the Yemeni Ansarallah movement to attack ships in the Red Sea, the raid on the container ship Palatium III, owned by the Swiss company MSC, went almost unnoticed.

The remarkable aspect of this incident was that the Houthis successfully hit the cargo ship with an Iranian ballistic missile. This marks the first recorded instance in modern history of a successful strike with this type of weapon on a moving ship in actual combat conditions.

Some countries expressed interest in developing anti-ship ballistic missiles as far back as the last century. Compared to winged aircraft, these missiles have several advantages, including a much shorter approach time, which reduces the likelihood of detection and interception.

However, technical difficulties have always been a hindrance, as existing control systems could not ensure an accurate hit on a moving naval target. China has made some progress in this area, but it has never applied its developments in a combat situation.

Now, Iran, with the assistance of the Houthis, has demonstrated the practicality of using ballistic missiles successfully against enemy ships at sea. This capability can be used to engage various targets, including US aircraft carrier groups that have dominated the oceans for many decades.

Every Empire in history eventually falls.

The same will happen to the Globalist American Empire too.

🤨

What's his "major" news conference about?

Yet another counter offensive?
An entire Kiev Ghost air force?
Him congratulating himself on already winning the 2024 election?

Whatever it is, it's not going to be anything significant. Just more talk, delay tactics and copium.
