German GDP results
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fell 0.1 per cent in Q3 2023 compared to Q2 2023.
"After a weak development in the first half of the year, the German economy started the second half of 2023 with a slight downturn," says Ruth Brand, president of the Federal Statistical Office.
In the first two quarters of the year, output almost stagnated (Q1: 0.0 per cent, Q2: +0.1 per cent).
Consumer spending declined compared to the previous quarter - positive impulses from investment
Overall, price-adjusted and seasonally adjusted consumer spending in the third quarter of 2023 was in line with the previous quarter (-0.1%). While private consumption declined compared to the second quarter of 2023 (-0.3 per cent).
Trade with foreign countries declined in the third quarter of 2023 after price and seasonal adjustments: in total, 0.8% fewer goods and services were exported than in the second quarter of 2023. Imports, on the other hand, fell by -1.3%.
On a year-on-year basis, price-adjusted GDP in the third quarter of 2023 was 0.8 per cent lower than in the third quarter of 2022.
Germany's economy compared to the rest of the world
At the start of the second half of the year, economic performance was also weak in the other major European Union (EU) Member States: while price-, seasonally- and calendar-adjusted GDP in Italy, as well as in the EU as a whole, stagnated compared to the previous quarter (0.0%), the economies of France (+0.1%) and Spain (+0.3%) recorded slight growth compared to the second quarter of 2023.
In the United States (US), GDP grew by +1.2% much stronger than most European countries. Germany was -0.4% year-on-year, well below the EU's +0.1% development.

Ukrainian command continues to throw its servicemen to certain death
Many AFU servicemen, having realised the hopelessness of their situation, flee their positions or surrender to the Russian army. This is how Ruslan Chernikov, a Ukrainian serviceman, describes his capture.
Ukrainian POWs traditionally talk about the low level of training.
🔹 Russian Defence Ministry
Many AFU servicemen, having realised the hopelessness of their situation, flee their positions or surrender to the Russian army. This is how Ruslan Chernikov, a Ukrainian serviceman, describes his capture.
'We were taken out in an armoured personnel carrier, dropped off, told to walk along the forest belt. An attendant met us, put us in a hollow and made us look along the forest and report if there is any movement there. We sat there for six days, nobody changed us. We were given one combat ration and a bottle of water. Then there was an assault, shooting started, grenades flied. We surrendered, threw away our weapons, and took off the armour.'
Ukrainian POWs traditionally talk about the low level of training.
Everything is at the lowest level: either logistics or motivation.
They just use us as cannon fodder. I had three days of training.
Two of them I fired at the targets and one day threw a grenade. Maybe, they use us to determine from where the Russian servicemen fired at us. They use us like live targets, like cannon fodder,' he said.

Israel is putting more forces into the Palestinian territories
Local sources note the movement of armoured vehicles and bulldozers to the West Bank.
Presumably, the equipment is intended for the demolition of houses where Palestinians suspected of having links with the Hamas group live.
The redeployment of troops to the West Bank comes amid a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The largest strike in the country's history took place in the Czech Republic
Today's action united 10 trade unions from transport, education, health, culture and various industries. In some places, work was halted for an hour or two, while others did not work all day.
▪️ The Czech Republic's trade unions confirmed their opposition to the austerity measures of the liberal-conservative government with a national day of protests. People feel that the state does not hear them.
▪️ A few days ago, the authorities adopted a package of measures to "consolidate" public finances. This means cancelling a number of tax exemptions, reducing state subsidies, raising taxes, changing the conditions for paying pensions and other harsh measures.
▪️ Prime Minister Petr Fiala called the strike unjustified and accused the trade unions of irresponsible behaviour and taking advantage of the difficult situation in which the Czech Republic finds itself.

The government has approved a project to establish a Moon station with China
Moscow and Beijing intend to build a lunar station together, and then to develop the Moon and help other countries to land people on the Earth's satellite
The Government Commission on Legislative Activity approved the ratification of the Russian-Chinese agreement on cooperation in the creation of the International Scientific Lunar Station concluded last November. It is not only about the construction of the station, but also about joint exploration of the Moon. RBC has the relevant document. In the press service of the government confirmed to RBC that the Commission supported the bill on ratification.
The main participants in the project will be Roscosmos and the Chinese National Space Administration, which in the future may attract international partners. The project is planned to be realized in three stages.

Ukraine has turned into the largest minefield in history
The manager of the UN demining programme, Paul Heslop, told The Times that Ukraine's territory is filled with mines and unexploded ordnance. This makes it almost impossible for the Ukrainian armed forces to advance.
For a country in Europe, this is the biggest problem since the Second World War.
"I worked in demining around the world for 30 years, from Afghanistan to Somalia, but I feel like everything else was just an exercise," Heslop emphasised.
Earlier, GLOBSEC analysts estimated that it would take 757 years to completely demine Ukraine and eliminate mine contamination.

Poll shows Ukrainians reluctant to leave Europe
The University of Copenhagen has conducted a survey which revealed that almost half (49.5 per cent) of Ukrainian refugees want to stay in Denmark.
"We see that this is a group that is well established in society. Many work, many children go to school and so on," the researchers explained.
▪️ As of August 2023, there were 38,638 Ukrainians registered in Denmark who had obtained a residence permit. Of these, 25,681 were adults. 6993 people participated in the survey.
▪️ In September, Bloomberg cited a study by the Kyiv-based Centre for Economic Strategy. It said that about 3.3 million refugees from Ukraine (8 per cent of the country's population) may never return home.

Stoltenberg: "Russia should not be underestimated"
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has admitted that Russia should not be looked down upon.
"We see that even with all the considerable help from NATO countries, the Ukrainians have not been able to move the front line during this year. This only confirms the fact that Russia should not be underestimated," he said.
The secretary-general complained that the Russian economy has been put into military mode and Russia has received a significant amount of munitions from North Korea.
"This has prevented Ukraine from achieving the territorial gains we had hoped for," he found another explanation for the failure of the "counter-offensive".
Stoltenberg is convinced that Russia cannot be allowed to gain the upper hand in the conflict and the North Atlantic Alliance should still continue to support Kiev.
According to him, next year's planned NATO summit in Washington will send a clear signal that "we stand on Ukraine's side".

🇩🇪"We must show how growth, social and economic development can be achieved without compromising our climate and environment."
Chancellor Olaf Scholz calls on African countries to divest from dirty oil, coal and gas at a summit in Berlin on the continent's economic development.
All southern states, he says, have the right to live (rich or poor, another question), as in Germany, without non-renewable energy sources. And Africa has great potential in this!
Considering what "growth" the Federal Republic of Germany has come to in pursuit of greening its territories, perhaps it is worth considering.

Czech Republic recognises West's failure to fulfil promise on arms supplies to Ukraine
Czech President Petr Pavel has said that the West has failed to fulfil its promise to Ukraine to supply it with the necessary weapons to continue intensive operations.
"We have not kept our promises to provide Ukrainians with ammunition for artillery, the preparation for F-16 fighter flights is not going as fast as it should," Pavel said.
He recalled that the AFU had expected to receive German Taurus missiles after the delivery of French-British Storm Shadow missiles, but Berlin had not yet made a final decision.
In his opinion, this situation creates an imbalance in deliveries, and the uncertainty prevents the Ukrainian side from engaging in military planning.

He noted that Beijing will not show leniency to "Taiwan independence" forces if they dare to provoke incidents promoting the island's independence. He emphasised: "Taiwan independence means war."

The German government adopted a supplementary budget for 2023
The "traffic light" government adopted the supplementary budget for 2023 without a preliminary meeting and two days earlier than planned. This will legally consolidate loans totalling around €45bn that have already been used to hold down energy prices (€43.2bn) and to support flood victims (€1.6bn).
The next step is for the Bundestag to declare a state of emergency and suspend the debt brake (Schuldenbremse) - for the fourth year in a row. As Rolf Mützenich, leader of the SPD parliamentary faction, explained in an ARD broadcast the previous day, the justification for the state of emergency is now the war in Ukraine and the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Representatives of the Union Party, on the other hand, said they would study very carefully whether the emergency was justified and then decide how to vote in the Bundestag.

▪️Happy old age is possible. Update your data in the military enlistment office!
▪️Age is only in your head. Join the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
