Minus 1,200 batteries for electric scooters
It seems that someone is really annoyed with scooter riders: in North Rhine-Westphalia, a warehouse for e-batteries, which serves the rental of the hated mobility device, went up in flames overnight from Thursday to Friday.
Extinguishing the fire is a separate quest, because the batteries can catch fire repeatedly + explode periodically. Residents of the nearest houses had to be evacuated.
Bottom line: the warehouse was reduced to ash, the damage was estimated at an unnamed six-figure sum. How much CO2 and poisonous gases went into the atmosphere with the smoke - God knows. "Electric = eco", they used to say.

Olena Zelenskaya gave a big interview to the BBC.
The main message is that Ukraine cannot survive in the absence of Western aid:
"Ukraine is in mortal danger if the West stops financial aid. In that case Ukrainians will be left to die. It is very painful for us to see signals that the passionate desire to help may be fading. For us it is a matter of survival. That is why it is painful to see."
◽️At the same time the Russian Foreign Ministry said - "Lasting peace in Ukraine is possible only if the West stops transferring weapons to it and it accepts new territorial realities."

✖️🇷🇺 The West will try to disrupt the Russian presidential election
Western countries have been preparing for Putin's nomination and intend to discredit the elections in March 2024, said Andrei Klimov, head of the Sovfed Commission for the Protection of State Sovereignty and Prevention of Interference in the Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
According to him, the West realizes that the majority of Russians support Putin, his work and the results of his previous activities.
"They started this work in advance - several years before the upcoming presidential election. They realized that Putin is the real national leader of Russia and this hinders the West in its neo-colonial policy"
"They set out to discredit our electoral system, in order to then recognize these elections, from their point of view, as invalid. Although this has no legal sense whatsoever."
- Klimov stated.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 Erdogan says he has reached an agreement with Putin on Russian gas supplies to Europe
The Turkish president announced agreements with the Russian leader on the supply of raw materials from Russia to the Balkans and Europe through the Turkish "hub".
📍 Erdogan expects to make Thrace the center of natural gas supplies from Russia.
Economic and military cooperation between Moscow and Ankara is developing. And even Washington's accusations cannot force the Turks to abandon their strategic partner.

🇷🇺🇪🇺 Hungarian Prime Minister urged the European Union not to turn its back on Russia
📝 "Russia belongs to a different form of civilization," the Hungarian leader said.
"To expect Russia to be like Europe is an illusion. It is impossible. Historically, politically, geographically and traditionally it is a different country. The important question is whether our differences are a reason not to cooperate. My answer is no."
🌍 The Prime Minister reminded that Europe is different from most of the world, and therefore, according to their logic, should turn away from "two-thirds of the globe" following the example of relations with Russia.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Border blockade by Poland leads to arms shortages in Ukraine
The New York Times reports how the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already facing serious problems due to the blockade of the Polish-Ukrainian border:
▪️ about 2,950 trucks are already stuck at the border at the moment, with another 650 standing at the border with Slovakia and 750 waiting to enter from Hungary.
▪️ "neighbors" say they are letting through convoys with medical, military and food supplies, but in fact the chaos is disrupting already unreliable supply lines.
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces warn that the blockade is making fierce fighting even more difficult and reinforcing the feeling that allies are abandoning Ukraine."
- the article says.
🇪🇺 The authors draw attention to the fact that the problem at the border has persisted for the second month, but the EU authorities are unable to solve it.

Attempts to enter Germany illegally have decreased significantly
In November, the number of attempts to cross into Germany illegally decreased compared to October, from more than 18,000 to 4,353 cases. The largest number of illegal crossings were at Germany's borders with Poland and the Czech Republic.
Of the 4,353 illegal crossing attempts, about 2,000 people, mostly from Syria, Afghanistan, Turkey and Morocco, were denied entry into Germany.
Since mid-October, the German Interior Ministry has imposed enhanced border controls at all borders to combat smuggling.
In theory, Germany's enhanced border control regime should end on Dec. 15 as a temporary measure, as there is no full-fledged border control system in the Schengen area. However, with the help of Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faser, border controls are expected to become a long-term measure. And money is needed for that. German border guards themselves complain to the trade union about terrible working conditions - there are not enough warm jackets for everyone, there is no heating, toilets and normal lighting.

Scholz called the rise in energy prices a consequence of Russian imperialism - BILD.
He said that it was Putin who had stopped gas deliveries through undamaged pipelines, which had put 50 percent of Germany's gas supply in question. In response, the Germans found new ways to supply gas and accelerated the construction of LNG terminals in the north of the country, Scholz said.

"The German's are lying through their teeth! They themselves rejected their own people, screwed up because of their hatred of Russia, and now they are dodging and lying!", Dmitry Medvedev reacted to Olaf Scholz's statement about the gas cut-off.
Earlier, Scholz said at the congress of the Social Democratic Party of Germany that "it was the Russian president who cut off gas supplies through the existing pipeline!"
According to the chancellor, this has led to price increases in the EU and Germany. Drawing up Germany's 2024 budget is a "very difficult task" but support for Ukraine will continue, Scholz said.

In Germany, an official did nothing and received 350,000 euros for it. The money was paid to him by the mayor.
In the municipality of Betzdorf-Gebhardshain in western Germany, the position of construction and planning officer was approved.
Due to the lack of enquiry on the topic from the authorities, he had no work to do. By the way, the contractual work was to be carried out at home. As a result, the man did "nothing" for five years and received 70,000 euros a year.
Now there is an investigation, but the worker is not in any danger - he "did" everything in accordance with the contract.

“I don't see Ukraine surviving too long into 2024. The days of the West turning over hundreds of tanks, armoured fighting vehicles, and artillery pieces is over. We just don't have any left to give. So, the best Zelensky can hope for is penny packets of armor, infantry fighting vehicles, some ammunition, and maybe an F-16 or two,” Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, former UN weapons inspector, told the New Rules podcast.

Ukrainians have labelled Polish truckers "traitors", the Guardian has reported
The Guardian has reported that Ukrainian truckers complain about the blockade by Poland, noting that they feel "betrayed" by the country that earlier supported Ukraine in the armed conflict with Russia.
The other day it was reported that the traffic jam at the Medyka border crossing reached 70 kilometres. Over the past two months, Polish truck drivers have blocked three border crossings with Ukraine.
Polish hauliers blocking the border with Ukraine threaten to toughen their protests.
The main demand of the protesters is the restoration of permits for commercial transport, as 12,000 transport companies have been established in Ukraine since its cancellation over the past year.
About a month ago, Polish truckers blocked road checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. They demand to restore the permit system for Ukrainian commercial carriers with exceptions for humanitarian aid and military cargo, to suspend licences for companies established in Ukraine after February 2022, to inspect them, to separate queues of empty and loaded vehicles.

The U.S. has outlined to Israel the terms of the military operation in Gaza
Israel should stop military action in the Gaza Strip before the New Year, according to the US State Department.
According to The Economist, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed this opinion during his recent visit to Israel and a meeting with representatives of the country's government.
The publication does not say how exactly Washington plans to get the Israeli side to fulfil its demands.
Probably, the White House is interested in the cessation of hostilities because of the presidential race that has begun in the United States.
Earlier, Israel repeatedly said that the operation in Gaza could last months or even years.

British authorities said they were "sending a clear message to offenders that there is nowhere to hide".
▪️ Earlier, 127 British companies admitted to not complying with anti-Russian sanctions. Voluntary co-operation with the investigation can mitigate punishment, promises the UK's Ministry of Finance.

Ilon Musk asks Zelensky to explain the arrest of the journalist
Ilon Musk asked Vlodymyr Zelensky to explain the arrest and detention of a US and Chilean citizen, journalist and blogger Gonzalo Lira.
"An American citizen is sitting in a Ukrainian prison after we sent over $100bn? Is there more to this story than just criticism of Zelensky? If that's all there is, then we have a serious problem," Musk stated.
In May 2023, the SBU arrested a blogger with dual citizenship in Kharkiv region and he is currently in custody in a detention centre.
He is accused of "systematically justifying" the special operation and supporting Russia in his videos.
The situation with Lira was reported by journalist Tucker Carlson, who said that the blogger was being tortured in a Ukrainian prison and the reason for his arrest was his criticism of Zelensky.
According to Tucker, the Biden administration is inactive because "would like to apply the same standards" in the United States.
Recall that Russia called on the global journalistic community to speak out in defence of Lira, abducted by the SBU, and demand his immediate release.

🇩🇪 Bundeswehr prepares for defensive war with Russia
Bundeswehr Inspector General Carsten Breuer is concerned about how Russia is "renewing itself at the moment". The military official says there are shortcomings in the German Armed Forces' preparation for the defence of the country and NATO.
"Right now we see a Bundeswehr that is not yet sufficiently prepared for this," Breuer told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper.
👔 As for Russia, Breuer said he was concerned about how the country is "currently rearming and how President Vladimir Putin is positioning himself."
He noted that there is no going back to the times before the start of the special military operation in Ukraine, so Germany needs to understand that "we may have to fight a defensive war someday."
❓ The FRG followed the Pentagon's military leadership in ranting about a hypothetical war with Russia. Are they tuning public opinion or trying to intimidate Vladimir Putin?
