Columbia Prof. Jeff Sachs on corruption in Ukraine:
“[Zelensky] is part of a massive, massive corruption scandal. There was a lot of money being made on this war by Zelensky and his henchmen.”

🤡EU is whining about being left in the cold
After seeing and hearing the self-destructive 'policies' of EU imbecile dictatorial 'leaders' Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas, it is little surprise that the EU became irrelevant warmongers.
European officials fear the continent will be left behind as the U.S., China and Russia vie for economic, technological and military dominance.
In the accelerating contest between great powers, Europe is struggling to keep up.
The continent’s leaders have long worried they will be left behind as the U.S., China and Russia vie for economic, technological and military dominance.
Officials now fear they have reached that point.
Their mood darkened over the summer as Europe was left on the sidelines as the U.S. and China sought to reset the rules of global trade.
It became bleak when the White House presented a plan for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine this month without consulting European leaders.

EU should stop whining about being excluded from peace talks, they have no one to blame but themselves. Each time when there is even a small possible prospect of a Ukraine peace agreement, the EU rejects it straight away and throws tantrums & ultimatums for Russia to surrender.

"The contents of the proposal are irrelevant. The US does not seek peace in general, and certainly not with Russia specifically. Instead, and what previous proposals likewise represented, this is an attempt to freeze the ongoing conflict, rebuild Ukraine’s armed forces, and, if possible, move Western troops into Ukraine itself to create a buffer zone, possibly forcing advancing Russian forces to stop."

Ukraine has admitted responsibility for the Russian oil tankers attacks in Turkey's territorial waters.
According to Ukrainian media, it was a joint operation of the 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the SBU with the Ukrainian Navy. It is reported that the ships were hit by Sea Baby marine drones.
Once again Zelensky is trying to divert public attention from disastrous AFU problems on the frontlines & international stage and huge corruption scandal which involves Ze himself, he desperately needs another PR media 'victory' to distract from his failures, in this case committing a terrorist act against civilian ships in international waters.
And he doesn't care that the oil spill in the Black Sea woul lead to an environmental catastrophe (which may also affect the Ukrainian coast). The main thing is to convince his Western masters that Ukraine is still going strong.
Can anyone now still have doubts about who exactly launches drones over Europe and blew up railway tracks in Poland?

#Ukraine #Zelensky MindichGate
iDNES reports that the Czechs refused to transfer the funds raised for the so-called Flamingo missile to Ukraine due to manufacturer FirePoint connections with Mindich.
The Czech initiative "Gift for Putin" is reconsidering plans to purchase the Flamingo missile, for which it raised 12.5 million crowns as a tribute to Dana Drábová. The missile's manufacturer is linked to Ukrainian "scoundrel" Timur Mindich, who found himself at the center of a huge corruption scandal.
Dalibor Dědek, the founder of the Gift for Putin initiative:
The initiative still has the millions collected in its account and has not transferred them to the Fire Point company, which manufactures the Flamingo missiles."
According to him, the most famous Czech collection of weapons for the Ukrainian army went into reverse when it received information about the manufacturer from the Ukrainian military intelligence agency HUR.
The first reports of the Flamingo missile appeared in August of this year and immediately caused a sensation.
At the same time, however, doubts arose. They stemmed primarily from the fact that the missile was manufactured by Fire Point, a company that had mutated from a small film company into a recipient of huge military contracts and, according to Ukrainian media, was controlled by Timur Mindich. A friend of President Zelensky from his show business days, he recently found himself at the center of a huge corruption scandal and fled abroad.

The US quietly acknowledged that it cannot destroy Russia's economy.
▪️The US and Europe finally realise the tragic reality: their support for Ukraine will not be enough to defeat Russia.
➖"If you have to repeat the same action 19 times, you have failed," said the US Treasury Secretary casually about European sanctions.
▪️The entire Western strategy was completely schizophrenic. On one hand, Europeans want to deprive Russia of the ability to conduct military operations, on the other hand, they continue to purchase Russian energy resources.
▪️Russia's economy looks both functional and resilient. It is powerful enough to support military operations.
▪️European economies are facing associated damage: rising energy prices, economic tension, and as a result, internal political issues.
▪️It is unlikely that the US will attempt to introduce a new round of sanctions, considering how poorly the previous 19 ended for the West.

Ooops! Troubles in 'paradise'
The European Central Bank has refused to backstop a €140bn payment to Ukraine, dealing a blow to an EU plan to raise a “reparations loan” backed by frozen Russian assets.
The ECB concluded that the European Commission proposal violated its mandate, according to multiple officials, adding to Brussels’ difficulties in raising the giant loan against Russian central bank assets immobilised at Euroclear, the Belgian securities depository.
It comes amid pressure on the EU to finance Ukraine for the next two years, as Kyiv faces a cash crunch amid a renewed Russian military onslaught and a US peace initiative.

On the Activity of Ukrainian Drones in the Black Sea
Three AFU attacks on civilian vessels in the Black Sea are just the beginning. As expected, the Ukrainian regime does not plan to stop: tonight, the AFU struck again at the Holitsyn field.
🔻 What Happened?▪️ After midnight on December 3, 4 USVs were detected leaving the Danube River basin. Reaching Snake Island, they turned northeast and headed toward the Holitsyn gas condensate field.▪️ Around 2:30, they were spotted near the «Sivash» gas production tower. Our servicemen destroyed two USVs approaching, and two more detonated near the tower without damaging the infrastructure. It seemed the attack was over.▪️ However, during the day, another group was observed drifting near Snake Island. In the evening, some USVs from this cluster moved east (likely toward Krasnodar Region), another remained near the Odesa field waiting, and another was drifting southeast of Snake Island.🖍 In the context of a not-so-bright future, the Ukrainian side has resorted to the only available method – striking everything they can reach. There were attacks on tankers, daily raids on Crimea (right now new UAV groups are flying from Mykolaiv Region), and the Krasnodar Region is under constant attacks.
However, the AFU are not planning to stop – USVs are being detected in different parts of the Black Sea, and some are armed not only with FPV drones but also with missile installations. Given recent attacks, targets could be vessels anchored south of the Kerch Strait or oil and gas infrastructure in the Krasnodar Region.

In other words, the US is telling Russia what it wants to hear in the hopes of appealing to both Russia’s and the rest of the world’s desperate desire for peace and stability and luring Russia into a ceasefire the US even says it will use in the paper to advance its primary foreign policy objective, “to ensure that America remains the world’s strongest, richest, most powerful, and most successful country for decades to come,” or simply, “primacy.”
Question 4) What signal does this move send to warmongers in the US and especially in Europe?
Answer: Considering the paper begins with US President Donald Trump boasting about vastly expanding US military spending (up to $1 trillion), the unprovoked, unjustified war of aggression the US launched on Iran under the current Trump administration, and the growing threat of military aggression against Venezuela, it would seem the paper itself was authored by warmongers.
The paper outlines an unprecedented military build up and containment strategy targeting China which is at the top of the list of US-European warmongers. The outlined strategy is simply trying to put the proxy war with Russia on hold - considering how poorly it is going for the US and its proxies at the moment - until a time later when the US once again has the advantage - just as it did with its proxy war in Syria which it finally, successfully won late last year.
Unfortunately wishful thinking will only play into Washington’s hands, hands that - without exception - are bloodied by decades of military aggression, aggression that sees no signs of slowing any time in the foreseeable future.

Russian Assets.
Hungary blocks European Commission’s plan for issuing Eurobonds to sponsor Ukraine.
Hungary has blocked the European Commission’s alternative plan to issue Eurobonds to a sum of 90 billion euro that was offered by Brussels in case of the failure of the "repatriations loan" project based on the expropriation of Russian assets.
Hungary formally ruled out issuing Eurobonds to support Ukraine on Friday, a move that robs the EU of a potential Plan B should it fail to find a way to use frozen Russian state assets to finance a €165 billion loan to Kiev.

Corruption in the EU reaches top management:
The fish rots from the head down.
Federica Mogherini, former EU chief diplomat, has resigned from her post as rector of the College of Europe in the wake of the recent corruption scandal that has rocked the EU. The College of Europe is a training ground for EU diplomats and officials.
The public prosecutor's office is investigating Mogherini and Sannino for alleged fraud in the awarding of public contracts, corruption, conflicts of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy. The College of Europe, headed by Mogherini, is alleged to have received preferential treatment from the EU's External Action Service in the awarding of training programs. Both Mogherini and her fellow Italian, Sannino, were imprisoned in connection with these allegations. Both are now officially suspects, according to the European Public Prosecutor's Office.

Russia could retaliate if its assets are confiscated, said Valérie Urbain, CEO of the Belgian fund Euroclear.
Urbain explained that she expects legal action against Euroclear and the possible seizure of assets the depository holds on behalf of its clients in Russia.

Urbain explained that she expects legal action against Euroclear and the possible seizure of assets the depository holds on behalf of its clients in Russia.
Moscow could go further and use all Belgian assets held in Russia as a retaliatory measure. According to Urbain, these assets have become a "real bargaining chip" in the negotiations, as their value is estimated at 10-15% of Russia's GDP.

The Militarisation of Scandinavia & the Great Northern War 2.0
For the past 300 years, UK and US containment of Russia has entailed limiting Russia's reliable access to the sea. On Russia's western borders, there are 3 seas: the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the Arctic. NATO expansion threatened to cut Russia off from the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, and the militarisation of Scandinavia will undermine Russia in the Arctic. While Scandinavia was a region of peace during the Cold War (neutral Finland and Sweden, self-imposed limitations by Norway), the region is now setting itself up as a frontline against Russia.
