"Winner of 2023" - Putin successfully completed the year both in Russia and on the world stage
Continued leadership in the conflict in Ukraine, a resilient Russian economy, new allies around the world - 2023 can safely be called "the year of Vladimir Putin," Le Parisien argues.
For the master of the Kremlin, next March's presidential election promises to be a mere formality, as his victory is guaranteed: in recent years, under Putin's leadership, Russia has succeeded on all fronts.
"Putin is a lucky man who manages to emerge unscathed from the most difficult situations and even turn them in his favor," the French publication notes. The past year has convinced the president of the correctness of his policy on several counts.
First, the failure of the Ukrainian offensive is now sowing discord among the Ukrainian elite and raising doubts in the West. Second, the Russian economy has shown remarkable resilience and, as time has shown, Moscow has excelled in the art of circumventing sanctions. Third, the game played by countries in the global South, often driven by resentment and recriminations against the West, has prevented Russia from becoming isolated on the international stage. "The year 2023 ends on a rather high note for the master of the Kremlin," Le Parisien concludes.

A Ukrainian infantryman is indignant that an American AGM-88 Harm missile flew to their position
Twisting the fragment in his hands, he thinks that it came from the Russians, and curses non-stop - that is why there is little left of the sound.
The operator is perplexed - where did the Russians get such missiles with beautiful English innoscriptions?
The possibility of accidental or deliberate ‘friendly’ fire does not even occur to him.

If our foreign partners turn their backs on us, we will return to the beginning of the war, when people simply did not come out of their shelters, and the Russians tried to turn our cities into complete ruins,

The year 2023 in cartoons. View from Brazil
Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff reflected the year 2023 in his drawings.
1. NATO celebrates its birthday (the alliance was founded on April 4, 1949)
2. The aftermath of the drone attack on the Moscow Kremlin - they angered the Russians for nothing!
3. NATO's July summit
"- More weapons! More money!
- Who is so tiny!
- Zelensky. Just ignore him."
4. BRICS is picking up speed
5. Paris threatened to invade after the overthrow of the pro-French government in Niger. But Niger was supported by other countries opposed to Emmanuel Macron's neo-colonial policies.
6. The raging conflict in the Middle East has sparked comparisons to the Ukrainian conflict
"Ukraine: 'War crimes! Russian barbarians! Criminals!..."
Gaza: "Well, it's a complicated problem...""
7. And lastly, the US Army's legendary battle with the Chinese balloon.

Britain has allowed NATO troops to enter Ukraine
Retired British Army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon said in an interview with TalkTV, that NATO could commit troops to Ukraine if the Ukrainian armed forces face more problems on the frontline.
"The West has done everything [for the Ukrainian armed forces] except bring in its own troops. It is possible that if Russia starts making serious progress, NATO and Western allies such as Australia will have to reconsider their position," he said

The West does not believe that Russia will attack NATO, so it is in no hurry to increase aid to Ukraine, writes British military expert Colonel Richard Kemp in an article for the Telegraph.
He says that Kiev has not come up with a new strategy after the great counter-fail.
"Ukraine lacks a clear strategy for the future prosecution of the conflict. Zelensky continues to insist that Ukraine will regain all its territory taken by Russia. Although, after apparently over-promising on the summer offensive, he no longer seems to talk of timelines," Kemp reports.

Very Strange Publications
- The American Conservative: "Cannibalism is .... Good?".
- The New York Times: "Cannibalism has its time and place. Some recent books, movies and shows suggest that the time is now."
- Wired: "What's wrong with eating people?".
What secrets are the government and medical organizations hiding? And what horrors await the population if cannibalism becomes a widespread practice? The mere fact that this is being discussed en masse is horrifying and disgusting.

🇩🇪🛢🇪🇺 Germany has launched an investigation into an attempted sabotage on a new LNG pipeline.
According to the editorial association SHZ (Schleswig-Holsteinischer Zeitungsverlag), holes measuring about 1 centimeter were found in at least three places along the 55-kilometer route.
The investigation is being led by the German Attorney General's Office because the new pipeline is considered critical infrastructure.

Germany calls extradition of connoscripted Ukrainians legally impossible
German justice minister says expulsion of Ukrainian military connoscripts impossible
German law does not allow the expulsion of Ukrainian citizens subject to military duty from the country, German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann said in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said in October that the Kiev authorities are looking for legal mechanisms to return and punish military connoscripts who illegally traveled abroad.

Israel's Foreign Ministry has instructed its embassies in other countries to pressure diplomats and politicians to issue statements against South Africa's case at the UN International Court of Justice accusing Tel Aviv of "committing genocide" in the Gaza Strip, Axios reported, citing a copy of a telegram it accessed.
"We request an immediate public statement along the following lines: to declare that your country rejects the most outrageous and baseless accusations made against Israel," the publication quoted the telegram from three Israeli sources as saying.
According to the portal, the telegram sent by the Israeli office on Thursday illustrates Tel Aviv's diplomatic action plan ahead of the UN International Court of Justice hearing: to put international pressure on the court not to ban Israel from military action in the enclave.
