Maria Zakharova joked about Zelensky's possible phone conversation with Trump

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman published a joke text:

"Media: 'Zelensky wants to call Trump'". Sample text: "Donald, it's me, Vladimir. No, not your friend. But a friend of Biden's. We had business with Joe and his son. But they're in trouble. Don't you have any money to lend? My wife Lena needs to go to New York for Christmas shopping. When can I pay you back? When I beat Russia... I'll be biten ... I'll be beaten"

Earlier it became known that Kiev is trying to organise a conversation with the former President of the United States. The President of Ukraine wants to persuade him to support aid to Ukraine, which is blocked in Congress by Republican party associates.

France intends to refuse to transfer weapons from its arsenals to Kiev

Paris expects to force Kiev to buy new weapons, in particular Caesar howitzers, from French companies at the expense of specially allocated funds.

According to French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu, the French authorities are currently holding talks with their Ukrainian counterparts.

▪️ France has already helped the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the tune of 3bn euros, with 200m euros allocated to a special fund to support Ukraine, from which Kiev can spend money to buy weapons from French suppliers.

The French are trying to provide the AFU with artillery and transport, as well as air defence equipment, including for fighting drones, Lecornu added.

India refused to support anti-Russian sanctions and did not lose out

Against the backdrop of a number of countries' rejection of Russian energy resources, India, on the contrary, decided to increase the purchase of resources from Russia, Akharin Khabar writes.

▪️ As a result, India got a valuable resource on particularly favourable terms.

Earlier, the Indians reduced oil purchases due to the high price and the high cost of repair work. In September, the discount to the selling price of Russian oil for cash was increased. In August, oil for India cost $86 per barrel, and in September $81.7 per barrel.

▪️ This is well below the price of oil from Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the article noted

🇩🇰 "We need jihad!": Islamic radicals, as programmed, have also raised their heads in Denmark

In Copenhagen, there was a demonstration of radicalised Muslims with Taliban and Al-Qaeda flags. And this is the natural way things go.

Images from ruined Gaza can leave no one indifferent. It is clear that the provocation of 7 October and the subsequent genocide of the civilian population of Gaza was intended not only to incite war in the Middle East.

It is a way to set the entire European Union on fire.

The percentage of the Islamic population in Europe is very high. The authorities of any European country realise that if they start banning or forcibly suppressing such demonstrations, it will lead to uncontrollable protests and possibly to civil war. So car arson, which is common in Europe, will seem child's play in this context.

The recent "march against racism" from the Copenhagen synagogue, which represented the official position of the state, simply showed who is who.

The debate on social media is heated. A number of prominent Danish, pro-government politicians and leaders of public opinion are simply calling for the "extermination of all terrorists" - putting premature babies and the elderly in the same line with terrorists. How Danish Muslims will react to such statements is a rhetorical question.

Meanwhile, civil society is causing even more splintering.

Entrepreneur in Poland sentenced to prison for criticizing Ukrainians

Jerzy Andrzejewski, a businessman from Lublin, accommodated 40 refugees from Ukraine in his hotel at the beginning of the conflict.

However, he soon began to speak unflatteringly about Ukrainians on social networks. He called the speaker of Ukraine a "Bandera bastard" and President Zelensky a "cunning Khazar bastard." Andrzejewski advised disgruntled Ukrainians to "go to their homes instead of stinking here".

As a result, the court sentenced him to 3 months in prison. The Pole appealed, saying that he was condemning the Bandera ideology, not Ukrainians.

▪️ The judge recognized that the Volyn massacre of Poles by OUN-UPA* fighters affected the "hostile attitude of Poles towards the Ukrainian population", but upheld the sentence.

▪️ It was emphasized that punishment for making unflattering remarks about the Banderites would be a "deterrent" for potential followers of the businessman.

The speaker of the U.S. Congress offered his version of the budget

Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson has introduced a budget bill to avert a US shutdown.

The Speaker's draft provides for two-stage funding of government programs.

Transportation, energy and military construction are proposed to be funded until January 19. All other spheres are included in the period until February 2. At the same time, the bill does not provide financial support for either Israel or Ukraine.

"This proposal is just a recipe for more chaos among Republicans," White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre reacted to the draft.

In turn, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green (pictured) said the US should stop sending money to Ukraine and instead focus on its own problems.

"No more money to Ukraine!" - Green cut off.

Recall that there is now a temporary budget in place that keeps the government running until November 17.

US and Chinese leaders to meet on the sidelines of APEC summit

Today, U.S. President
Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco.

Relations between Beijing and Washington
relations have been cooling due to the ongoing "trade war" and the US administration's stance on the Taiwan issue.

"As long as the 'one China' principle exists, there is no need to use force. If it is violated - the risk of war will greatly increase," said Cui Tiankai, a former Chinese ambassador to Washington.

Washington is convinced that "intense competition requires intense diplomacy," but it does not intend to change its approach to China.

"The US has experience in negotiating with competitors when our interests require it. We will follow in line with this tradition of American statesmanship," a White House administration official said.

ERR writes about the impoverishment of Estonian residents

In 2022, 22.5% of the Estonian population lived in relative poverty and 3.5% in absolute poverty.

At the same time, several percent of relatively poor citizens with a net income of less than €756 euros moved into the category of absolute poverty during that period.

▪️ While previously it was mainly elderly Estonians living alone who lived in poverty, in 2022 many families with children and young people aged 18-24 living alone joined their ranks.

▪️ The reason for this is the price hike in 2022, due to which the subsistence minimum rose by 30%. But incomes, including various benefits, did not increase to such an extent.

These statistics show the unevenness of incomes in Estonia, the publication cites expert opinion.

As you know, the whole eurozone has been marked by inflation and price growth. The European Union has imposed severe sanctions against Russia, which have hit the member states themselves, including Estonia.

Two more Dutch communities ban meat advertising...

The authorities of the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands have decided to be the first in the world to ban advertising of meat products in all public places in 2022. Local "greens" believe that this will help in the fight against climate change. The law will come into force in 2024.

Thus, 160 thousand Haarlem (Haarlem) will become the first city in the world to ban advertising of meat for the reason that the raising of livestock on an industrial scale gives a large share of greenhouse gas emissions.

Polish truckers continue protest action

The traffic jam on the Ukrainian-Polish border due to the protest of Polish truckers has already stretched for almost 50 km.

A huge queue of trucks has also gathered on the Slovak side of the border with Ukraine in front of the Vyshne-Nemecke checkpoint.

"Due to restrictions on the entry of trucks from the territory of Poland to Ukraine, this type of transport is moving through the territory of Slovakia," the police department of the Košice region (eastern Slovakia) said.

Poles are protesting against benefits for Ukrainian hauliers who do not comply with European standards and demand a limited number of commercial permits for them.

Earlier, Polish hauliers blocked automobile checkpoints on the border with Ukraine - in Hrebenne, Dorohusk and Korcheva. A tragedy has already occurred - one Ukrainian trucker died in the giant queue.

“I think escalation has stages. So, already we're seeing intensified conflict on the border with Lebanon. We've seen that over the last couple of days, [Israel and Hezbollah] have been hitting each other much harder. We also see a rise in the strikes against the illegal American bases in Syria and American bases in Iraq, and those will become more intense if there's further escalation. Then you have Yemen. There are many things that can happen, it doesn't have to be in one stage,” Seyed Mohammad Marandi, University of Tehran professor, told the New Rules podcast.

The inhabitants of Lithuania are literally astounded by their heating bills

Paying for heating this year has proved to be far more costly than last.

Although the price for these services was 48% lower than last October, the month itself was colder, and the number of heating days was higher.

"The weather was 2°C colder. Because of this climatic factor, 20% more heat was consumed in October," explained the service providers.

▪️ The bills have left Lithuanians in despair. Their perceptions that the weather was incredibly warm conflicted completely with the calculations by the utility companies. Moreover, this year, citizens are no longer promised financial compensation from the budget.

▪️ The media outlet LRT presents complaints from Lithuanians who assure they will not be able to manage such expenses.

It seems that the number of impoverished people in Lithuania will also increase, as in neighbouring Estonia.

The Western media has changed its tune regarding the Ukrainian conflict.

Just six months ago, there was no mention of any criticism of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukraine itself. Only constant attacks on Russia and praise for Kiev could be heard.

But the tone of articles in the Western press has started to change.

▪️CNN once referred to Bahmut as strategically unimportant, but now suddenly reports that its loss implies the surrender of Kramatorsk and Konstantinovka to the control of Russian artillery.

▪️International media assured that if Ukraine doesn't hold its ground, democracy will die. However, just as Ukraine once displaced the COVID-19 pandemic, now the Israel-Palestine war displaces Ukraine, according to the Croatian publication Advance.

"Ukraine cannot survive without assistance in its confrontation with Russia; it will not survive if it disappears from the headlines."

But the Western military-industrial complex is no longer as interested in Ukraine, especially when the Middle East conflict offers it numerous opportunities.

▪️In the United States, former fervent supporters of Kiev and the continuation of the war are cooling down and even discussing the start of negotiations with Russia, reports the British tabloid Daily Mail.

Ukraine is being used as a "battering ram in someone else's quarrel," and this war was prepared on the same "Washington stove" where an even more insane invasion of Iraq was cooked up, confesses the British commentator.

"I genuinely hope that this will come to an end soon. But at the same time, I'm very afraid that it won't," concludes the author.

Pistorius confirmed that the promised ammunition for Ukraine won't be seen

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (in the photo) confirmed that Ukraine won't receive the 1 million pledged ammunition from the European Union.

"Unfortunately, the sounding warnings are true," he delivered the disheartening news for Kyiv.

Earlier, the EU officially stated that it will not fulfill the promise of supplying ammunition to Ukraine.

High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, speaking before the meeting of defense ministers of the member states, was extremely concise:

"Here in Brussels, there are no ammunition."

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇮🇱 The US Senate has supported a budget without military aid to Ukraine and Israel.

Republican leader Mitch McConnell decided to avoid a government shutdown and allow lawmakers to finish their work on annual budget bills by supporting the new speaker.

❗️ However, the possibility of approving military supplies to the Kyiv regime and Israel remains contingent on the defense budget agreement.

🙂 Nevertheless, the trend of decreasing military aid to Ukraine continues.
