      Awaiting perhaps the wolf winter to have maximum effect?

      Here, the climate crisis actually comes in handy, probably won’t be much of a wolf winter so the Russians are left standing with a long face in April. “What, it never really got cold, we should have started already at Lucia, now it’s just pointless”.

    Now Trump is going to sweeten the deal with Article 5 security guarantees.

    Does he think we are easily fooled?

    One party in the Budapest Agreement attacks and the other, who should defend, wants UA to give away land.

        A revolutionary idea you would be the first in the world to implement would be to be able to paste images from the image folder on the phone?

        There you could make a fortune by launching it globally when everyone is sitting and pasting links

          Do you mean like how it works with Twitter, Facebook, etc.?

          I’ve been a bit caught up in other things, but I do have the plan to isolate this site on its own server, then one can also dare to allow image uploads. That would of course facilitate things a bit.

          On the other hand, it requires saving the images first, otherwise you can’t upload them.

    I believe RU is about to lose the war.

    UA offensive reserve is angry with a strong bite.

    RU GAAD is shot away as on a shooting range.

    Happy Lucia to you all, tonight it will be white russian ✊✊😳

    Is the youth doing as we did in the 80s and 90s, with sea battles on Lucia?

    2. johan No.1

      a so-called witch’s brew 😳

      and the abyssal scream from the living room when friends’ parents discovered that it was apple juice with a splash of whiskey left in the bottle.

      I read that today’s youth seem to be quite fragile.

      The use of alcohol (and other drugs) has decreased. Instead, they are spending more and more time on gaming.

      In the 60s and 70s – yes, I am old – people used to go to teachers’ and others’ homes in the morning to celebrate Saint Lucy’s Day. That was the culture back then.

    Kenneth Gregg 12/13/2025 update.

    So it’s a matter of cutting off the enemy’s supply routes, wearing down the enemy with drones and robots. When he is weak enough, we attack with the least possible risk to our own soldiers.

    The time was ripe in Kupyansk, as it is a much smaller town than Pokrovsk. The time will also come for Pokrovsk, it will take a little longer but the trend is crystal clear (see yesterday’s update).

    1. johan No.1

      Yes – when UA deployed its offensive strategic reserve AND it turned out they managed the war in 2025, we are there 🤩🤩🤩

      The first attempt NOT on Pokrovsk was so-so but steep learning curve and motivated units.

      AND when RU turned out to NOT handle the war in 2025, we are definitely there.

      AND when Europe finally unequivocally sided with Ukraine.

      Let the hunt for protection begin, now you DAMN well see great deeds ✊✊😡😡💥💥

    I heard that Zelenskyy delivered a brief but effective pep talk to his soldiers.

    “We are facing the most crucial point of this war. You have to choose between being screwed over by both Trump and Putin and his army, or fighting like true soldiers for Ukraine’s freedom and independence. I cannot make the choice for you, but if you choose the former, you will be demoted and then deported to the USA where you can try to achieve your dubious goals on your own. If you choose the latter option, you will forever be written into Ukraine’s history as true heroes.”

    Or maybe I just dreamt it, but I believe it might be needed anyway. Or maybe not, I think every Ukrainian soldier knows what’s at stake.

      👍 I believe the journey will continue for a while longer.
      Just like I never give up, I also don’t shout “hej” before the fat lady has finished singing.

       

    1. MXT

      Probably a completely normal exchange of information even though one might have held back considering that everything probably leaks further to Putin.

      But he probably understood that and therefore he surely fed the USA with exactly the information that they wanted to reach the Kremlin. When they then saw how the Russian army reacted to the information, they knew exactly where it had leaked from.

    Time for a diaper change on Orbán! 😂

    “Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M) writes in a comment to Expressen that the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán “behaves like a child”, after he said that Europe’s leaders are acting like a dictatorship.

    In a post on X, Orbán criticized the EU’s decision to make it impossible to veto the continued freezing of Russian state assets. A decision he calls undemocratic.

    “Orbán has been able to hold the EU hostage with his veto for far too long,” writes Svantesson.”

    “Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) writes on X that the EU’s decision to freeze Russian assets is “very good”.

    At an ambassador meeting on Thursday, a decision was made to make it impossible for any country to veto the continued freezing of Russian state assets.

    The decision was made with a large majority and means that there is no need to make new decisions every six months to freeze the assets, TT writes.

    “It is a clear signal of the EU’s long-term support for Ukraine,” Kristersson writes.”

    May I give you a tip?
    Tonight at 9 pm on Kunskapskanalen. Amur River part 1 of 3. This is where the border between China and Russia lies. The Trans-Siberian Railway winds along the northern bank of the river. This is the homeland of the Amur tiger and the Amur leopard. It was also here that the latest conflict between Russia and China took place. You probably have more enjoyable things to do on a Lucia evening than watch TV, but for those of you who are alone, it may be well worth watching.

      Report from Kupyansk by an officer.

      Intended for Johan who is coming home to lead Swedish forces in battle.

      Translated:

      What happened in Kupyansk? Successful counterattack by the “Kharti” group
      I have been working in Kupyansk for two months as part of the offensive force “Charter” and can now tell in detail about the operation I am participating in. It is important to realize that the operation to liberate Kupyansk is not yet over, it is too early to celebrate, the enemy attacks daily, trying to break into the city again from the north and from the left bank, the enemy controls a significant part of the city and the fierce battle continues.
      I lead several UAV units near Kupyansk, go out on position and want to say that the successful counterattack north of Kupyansk is primarily the merit of the soldiers – infantrymen, artillerymen, UAV operators – who under precision fire from artillery and drones broke through the enemy’s battle formations and repelled daily attacks under very difficult conditions and despite losses.
      And now about who is leading the operation, to avoid spreading incorrect information.
      – On September 21, the Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, O. Syrskij, created a search and attack group consisting of the 2nd army corps of the National Guard force “Charter” to carry out a counterattack north of Kupyansk. The commander of the operation was appointed to be Captain Ihor Obolenskyj.
      – The supreme commander in the area was OTU commander General
      Krasilnikov.
      – On September 24, stormtroopers from the 475th regiment “Code 9.2” (commander – Ukraine’s hero O. Nastenko) liberated the village of Tyschenkovka.
      – On October 9, stormtroopers from the 4th battalion of the 92nd storm brigade (commander – M. Kakulia) and the 475th regiment liberated the village of Kindrasivka.
      – On October 11, stormtroopers from the 13th brigade “Charter” (commander – D. Nevgasimov) liberated the village of Radkivka. The liberation of Kindrasivka and Radkivka marked a breakthrough in the enemy’s defense.
      – On October 17, M. Drapaty was appointed as the supreme commander in the area.
      – On October 21, the storm group “Charter” broke through to the Oskol River, cutting off the Russians’ attack routes.
      – From the beginning until now, the planning, command, and responsibility for our work were carried out by Colonel Obolensky and the staff group appointed by him under the leadership of Sergey Sidorin. Therefore, the information circulating in the blogosphere that M. Drapaty would have command of the operation is incorrect. Mikhail Vasilievich has many merits of his own, and one should not attribute others’ merits to him. Drapaty is performing his important work in his position, and other commanders are carrying out their work, and everyone’s merits should be acknowledged in a fair manner. What really happened? In mid-September, the situation in Kupyansk became critical. The enemy – units from the 68th Motorized Infantry Division and the 27th Motorized Infantry Brigade – crossed the Oskol River on a wide front, fortified their positions, and launched an offensive north of Kupyansk. The enemy captured the villages of Kindrasivka, Radkivka, Tyschenkivka, and Holubivka. Individual positions of Ukrainian soldiers from the 114th, 144th, and 117th brigades were effectively cut off by the enemy and surrounded.
      With the help of gas pipelines and large forest areas, Russian stormtroopers broke through a land route directly to Kupyansk and practically captured most of the city.

      With the help of gas pipelines and large forest areas, Russian stormtroopers broke through a land route directly to Kupyansk and practically captured most of the city.
      The dominant height in the northern part of the city with the TV tower and high-rise buildings, from which one has full control over the entrances to the city, was taken by the enemy. It was not individual DRG groups – it was stormtroopers from the 121st and 122nd regiments, 27th brigade, and the 1855th battalion of the 3S RF. The search and attack group was tasked with repelling the enemy and advancing towards the Oskol, closing the roads to Kupyansk and surrounding the occupiers in the city to then liberate the city in cooperation with the troops from the 10th army corps and the tactical group “Kupyansk”. The “Charter” group included units from the 92nd storm brigade, 475th storm regiment “Code 9.2”, 13th brigade “Charter”, and 144th mechanized brigade. For certain tasks in the “Charter” group, the company from the 425th storm regiment “Skelja” and the group from the legion “Freedom for Russia” were involved. Drone support was provided by the standby units “Lazar” and “Typhoon” from the National Guard and the patrol police in the Kharkiv region.
      The enemy has established a battalion defense in the area around Tyschenkovka, Kindraschivka, and Radkivka, while continuing its storm actions and creating a “kill zone” with a high density of UAV drones from the 7th regiment and the units “Sudnyj den” and “Rubikon”. It is practically impossible to avoid encounters with Russian drones. For example, “Novator”, which I went out on my first reconnaissance with, was also hit by a Russian optical fiber drone, and it was only thanks to the protection of the vehicle that we were lucky.
      Despite this resistance and the enemy’s superiority in drones, thanks to effective planning, the Russian “kill zone” was broken in two places simultaneously. Our actions took the enemy by surprise, significantly reducing losses and avoiding getting stuck in the battle for a single position.
      Stormtroopers from the 475th regiment “Code 9.2” and the 92nd storm brigade crushed the enemy’s positions in the area around Kindrasivka and took control of an important forest area, inflicting huge losses on the enemy with drone attacks. In the forest near Kindrasivka, the positions of the soldiers from the 114th brigade, who had been cut off from the enemy for six months, were liberated.
      The stormtroopers from the 13th brigade “Charter” crushed the enemy and liberated Radkivka, achieving the goal of the operation – they penetrated Oskol and completely restored the ground defense line in the area. As a result, “Charter” cut off the enemy’s path to Kupyansk, all exits from the tunnel have been reconnoitered and turned into our “kill zones”. The soldiers from the 92nd brigade and the 144th brigade have fortified their positions on advantageous lines, fighting heroically and effectively repelling Russian attacks, clearing up and destroying all breakthroughs and infiltrations. In this way, the Russian troops in Kupyansk were completely surrounded at the beginning of November.
      The command of the Russian 68th division immediately launched attacks, carried out literally every day, aiming to prevent a rapid liquidation of the surrounded units in Kupyansk. Even when there is only one or two Russian stormtroopers left, they still try to attack and break through our battle formations in fog and rain. As a result, one must engage in battle even near the rear lines – recently, a mine-laying group captured two occupiers.

    “The U.S. caught Russian government–backed hackers attacking U.S. infrastructure.

    They damaged water systems in multiple states and forced a meatpacking plant to evacuate because of an ammonia leak.

    Putin is trying to destroy us from “within. If he is not held accountable, he will keep doing it. Never forget, Russia is not our friend.”
