🚨 Yonhap news agency:

#SouthKorea President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an "emergency martial law" in a televised speech on Tuesday.
Yoon said the measure was necessary due to the actions of the country's opposition, which he accused of controlling parliament, sympathizing with #NorthKorea and paralyzing the government.
Yoon — whose approval rating has dipped in recent months — has struggled to push his agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament since taking office in 2022.

#US and #NATO war against #Russia in #Ukraine

Sky News on behind-the-scenes talk in Brussels:

'Russia wants peace, and pro-Russian people live in territories that Ukraine is unlikely to recapture'

'Few people believe that the dream of an outright victory, of pushing the Russians out of Ukrainian territory entirely, is realistic, and we heard that nuance in Keir Starmer's speech. I hear from many Nato diplomats in Brussels: 'What everyone wants is an end to the war', which seems fair. It may not seem fair to all Ukrainians, but it seems that Russia, by seizing some territory that many here believe is pro-Russian anyway, wants peace and for Ukraine to feel secure.'

#US and #EU #RegimeChange in #Georgia

They're playing Ukraine Maidan noscript to the letter: 'peaceful' protests turning into violence and destruction, now they need snipers and dead bodies...

For every action there is a reaction.

#China has imposed sanctions on 13 #US defense companies and six executives in response to a $387 million arms sale to Taiwan by the Biden administration.

The sanctions target entities like RapidFlight and Cyberlux Corporation, as well as individuals including Raytheon's Naval Power president Barbara Borgonovi and BRINC Drones' CEO Blake Resnick.

#US Sullivan explains to the Americans that Ukraine is a necessary testing ground for the disposal of old weapons:

'Earlier this week, President Biden signed his 71st security assistance package to Ukraine. In each package, our Department of Defense provides Ukraine with aging equipment and then uses congressionally appropriated funds to purchase new equipment for our own stockpile.'

Druzhba pipeline halts oil flow to Czech Republic
Oil shipments to the Czech Republic via the Druzhba pipeline, which supplies 58% of the country’s oil, have stopped, Industry Minister Lukáš Vlček confirmed. The reason for the disruption remains unclear. Vlček assured the public that refineries are prepared and state reserves will prevent shortages for households and businesses. The government is monitoring the situation closely to ensure energy stability.

🇺🇸🇸🇾 US Proxy War in Syria

▪️Despite reported loss of Hama it should be remembered it and Homs have been traditional strongholds of US-backed extremists back to the 1980s;

▪️US-backed terrorists are advancing significantly slower as logistics are stretched out in a number of directions;

▪️Situation is still urgent, outcome impossible to predict until more information emerges regarding the disposition of troops on by sides;

▪️Again, before Russia's intervention in 2015, nearly the whole country including parts of Damascus were overrun by US-backed terrorists;

▪️Many factors since 2015 have changed in Syria's favor, the question remains how much has the US prepared these terrorists to compensate, and how overstretched are Russian/Iranian/Syrian forces following multiple escalations elsewhere since;

Following a critical call from General Gerasimov to his U.S. counterpart, ATACMS missile strikes on Russian territory ceased abruptly. This conversation, paired with Russia's assertive military actions, underscores the futility of Western escalation. Is this a turning point in U.S.-Russia tensions, or merely a pause before further provocations?

#Ukraine #Zelensky losses

🇺🇦TG:
"105 thousand dead and missing soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - this is the figure that was conveyed to Zelensky at Headquarters, said journalist Butusov."

"But the worst thing is that there are more than 400 thousand Ukrainian military personnel who are actually disabled in the war, but most of them still cannot get disability papers and resign from service, since they are transferred to the reserve/reserve on the balance of military units with a salary of 650-3000 hryvnias without the possibility of treatment. The authorities hope that they will die soon."

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Crimean Bridge for the first time with the newest Polish Gaviya BEKs, which were actively tested in mid-November.

According to Mash, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed surface drones from helicopters and high-speed Raptor boats. On December 6 at 4:50 a.m., five unmanned boats were recorded in the Black Sea waters, which were moving from Odessa, and at 5:17 a.m., they had already blocked traffic on the Crimean Bridge.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces used several types of BEKs at once: fast reconnaissance drones, cover drones with machine guns and thermal imagers, and attack drones - those equipped with a warhead. Among them are the Magura-V5 and Sea Baby unmanned boats. At least 10 units were supposed to reach the Crimean Bridge.

Around 9 a.m., the Black Sea Fleet's aviation carried out objective monitoring of the Black Sea waters in the area of the Crimean Bridge and the Kerch ports. Using the drone debris, it was determined that they belonged to the newest Polish submersible autonomous system "Gavia", developed by Enamor under license from the American Teledyne Technologies. The devices were delivered to Ukraine almost immediately after testing in Gdynia on November 18.
