⚡️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Foreign media about the results of Zelensky's visit to the USA

🔸Independent
Congress is at an impasse, and no dramatic appeals by Zelensky can change the situation

🔸Time
His influence on Capitol Hill has waned significantly since his last visit. Support for aid to Ukraine in American society has also fallen dramatically

🔸New York Times
Zelensky received a colder reception this time around. Some Republican senators complained in the run-up to his visit about him coming to the States

🔸Huffington Post
According to Sen. James Vance, the idea of bringing Zelensky in at the last minute to manipulate the emotions of congressmen is grotesque

🔸Politico
Biden failed to give Zelensky a pledge of support going forward. This is yet another sign that the president of the United States is not free to act as he pleases on the world stage.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson - on Zelensky's failure to convince him:

We need a clear articulation of a strategy that will allow Ukraine to win, and so far the answers have been inadequate. They have not provided us with the clarity and detail that we have asked for over and over again, having started asking literally 24 hours after I became Speaker. The Biden administration seems to be asking for billions of dollars without specifics, without a clear strategy to win, and without the answers that I believe the American people deserve.
I have also made it clear from day one that our priority in considering any additional homeland security package is first and foremost our own homeland security. The border is an absolute disaster right now, and the policies of the current administration are to blame. Last week we had 12,000 illegal border crossings in just one day.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 The White House warns of an emptying pot for Ukraine.

The USA plans to allocate two military aid packages to Ukraine by the end of the year, after which the funds will be exhausted.

💬"But that's the end of it. The pot is empty unless we get additional funding for Ukraine," said John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the National Security Council.

😁 And the empty pot can be picked up by old man Biden for his own needs.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 13 December 2023; pub. 08:01⚡️

🔹In the #Kherson-#Crimea Direction, the RF Armed Forces hit Ukrainian positions on the left bank of the #Dnieper River in #Krynki. It is worth saying that the fighting in this area has the character of a "seesaw". Periodically, the opposing sides are trying to seize the initiative. But they cannot make any significant progress.
💥 The AFU is under attack in #Veletinskoye, #Kherson, #Antonovka, #Pridneprovskoye, #Tokarevka, #Novotyaginka and #Tyaginka.
💥 The RF Armed Forces in Golaya Pristan, #Alyoshki, #Poyma and Cossack Camps. (Fig. 1)

🔹In the #Zaporozhye Direction, the RF Armed Forces attacked from the direction of #Novoprokopovka to #Rabotino and from the area of #Novofyodorovka.⚠️ The AFU held their positions.
📌 But it is evident that the Ukrainian forces have gone on the defensive. The RF Armed Forces are seeking to nullify the successes of the AFU in this area, achieved during their summer and autumn counteroffensive.
💥 Ukrainian positions in #Plavni, #Pyatikhatki, Malye Shcherbaki, #Novoandreyevka, #Orekhov and #Novodanilovka are under fire.
💥 Russian positions in #Zherebyanka, #Kopani, #Novoprokopovka, #Verbovoye and #Novofyodorovka. (Fig. 2)

🔹On the #Donetsk Front, after shelling, Russian forces continued their assaults near #Novomikhaylovka and in #Maryinka.⚠️ In the latter, the AFU is losing their last positions, but are not withdrawing. The RF Armed Forces, supported by long range weapons, attacked near #Nevelskoye and #Pervomayskoye. They also tried to advance towards #Tonenkoye and #Severnoye (a settlement west of Avdeyevka). The AFU fortification itself was attacked from the industrial zone from the southeast after artillery preparation, near the Coke Plant to the northeast. The RF Armed Forces, supported by artillery and aviation, continued their assault operations near #Stepovoye (not to be confused with the settlements of the same name in the #Zaporozhye and Ugledar directions).
▪️ The AFU attacked waste heaps northwest of #Gorlovka, trying to force some Russian troops to be transferred to this area. (Fig. 3)

❗️🇫🇷Politico: 'The end of governing': Macron faces France's ungovernability after shock immigration loss

President Emmanuel Macron stood like a dumbfounded man over the failure of a flagship immigration bill that shows how difficult it will now be to govern France without an absolute majority in the National Assembly.

On Monday, the National Assembly rejected his flagship immigration bill, which took the government by surprise. The defeat was made even more humiliating by the fact that lawmakers did not even debate the text but rejected it in a preliminary vote.

The shock shook the political establishment and raised questions about whether France had become ungovernable.
💬 "It could mean that we are approaching the end of his mandate faster than expected, that we are approaching the end of Emmanuel Macron's rule. He is running out of steam and it will be harder and harder for him to keep his MPs under control," said political analyst Chloe Morin.

💥🇺🇸 While Biden hands Zelensky another $200 million of U.S. taxpayers money, a new breakthrough is being cooked up at the U.S. border.

No wonder Republicans do not want to allocate any funds to Ukraine or Israel without taking care of the border at first. Put yourself in their shoes. All these illegals potentially will become US voters using legal or illegal means. And historically 70% of new immigrants vote Democrat. Cui bono? Who benefits from the invasion of illegal immigrants?

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 13 Dec 2023 by 19:00⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, our army has intensified its attempts to eliminate the AFU positions in #Krynki. Our military attacks from the west, south and east of the village. The AFU has slightly retreated from the eastern side deep into the village. More AFU boats were sunk on the #Dnieper, but one of the groups still managed to break through to the houses in the centre of the village. There are clashes on the islands in the #Dnieper floodplain.

🔹In #Zaporozhye direction, our forces continue to nullify the "successes" of the AFU counteroffensive. Based on reports from the field at a number of sites near #Rabotino, the AFU are again pushed back behind the first line of Russian defence. North of #Verbovoye, the AFU attacks are becoming less and less active.
Near #Novofyodorovka, our military are literally "gnawing" away at the enemy's positions under most difficult conditions. Mud, rain and snow, mines on the ground and artillery from above.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, a fierce assault on #Novomikhaylovka is underway. The defense of the AFU from the south is “cracking.” This, accordinf to iindfo drom the field.
▪️ From #Marinka, it can be stated that there are no AFU left within the town. The hardest months-long battles are ending under our tricolor. Now comes the cleanup. There is no place for the AFU to defend behind it. Our army goes towards #Ugledar and #Kurakhovo, which is a little more than 10 km away. South of #Maryinka, our military has recaptured another large fortified area and is attacking near #Pobeda village.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the southern #Avdeyevka flank, our attempts to advance near #Tonenkoye and #Severnoye have not brought any clear success. The AFU are still holding the defence. Ours are also attacking the southern outskirts of #Avdeyevka from the industrial zone. Heavy battles are ongoing. On the northern flank, our Russian military are taking the same actions near Coke Plant and in #Stepovoye. The AFU actions northwest of #Gorlovka were unsuccessful.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, our forces have retaken the dachas, which were Positions of the Wagnerians in May. On the northern flank, ours are developing success at #Vesyoloye and west of #Bogdanovka. On the southern flank there are battles near the heights in #Kleshcheyevka.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, positions in #Sinkovka are changing hands. The fighting is not abating. To the east of #Ivanovka, our military took up positions along the forest belt and advanced in the #Serebryanskoye forestry.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 A bit of straight talk from the U.S. senators to whom Zelensky traveled to bow:

🖕 Senator Lindsey Graham, an unequivocal supporter of Ukraine: "He [Zelensky] will fight to the last man." Hello to anyone hoping the Ukromobilization nuts will loosen. True, Graham still prioritizes US domestic problems (perhaps he is aiming for some secretary of state positions in the near future).

🖕 Senator Tommy Tuberville: I never thought Ukraine could win a war. And the talk that Russia is supposedly going to attack countries in Europe.... I never believed in that scenario. It's just a good excuse to give Kiev more money.
