Germany handed over a new package of military aid to Ukraine, according to the website of the German government.
The package includes:
1 IRIS-T SLM air defense system and IRIS-T missiles;

Editor’s note: Some soldiers interviewed for this story declined to give their last names due to security issues amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. DONETSK OBLAST – More than a month after his first assault operation near Bakhmut, 23-year-old soldier Oleksandr Mikulak still blames himself for not...

It would be something to see how durable Moscovia gov control is in the moscovite scramble for succession and power grabs with those treacherous, obedient like beaten dogs, dimwitted, subservient vassals in their current proto-North Korea style pit. A sudden natural death of glorious leader would send them spinning, and especially so for the aspiring imperial theocratic authoritarians who need their strongman icon.
The subject, true or not, will open up some dialogue about succession which should raise paranoia levels with plots & schemes initiating power struggles creating instabilities.
That's why they wanted Sims3!

Ah yes… one dubious Twitter feed is absolutely indicative that both sides are as bad as each other. No wonder you got banned, chump.

Ukrainian forces marginally advanced on the east (left) bank of #Kherson Oblast and continued offensive operations near #Bakhmut and in western #Zaporizhia Oblast on October 27.
The Russian trench rat/mice issue is a fairly serious one that reportedly really went downhill over the past few weeks as cold weather set in.

Desperate for Air Defense, Ukraine Pushes U.S. for ‘Franken’ Weapons
To meet the demand, the U.S. is producing so-called FrankenSAM systems that marry advanced Western weaponry with Soviet-era items still in Ukrainian stockpiles.

I just finished watching Jake Broe's latest assessment of things in Ukraine and I got to say it is pretty dismal. It is starting to look like the west is gonna fail Ukraine. I get the feeling the republicans in the US are gonna stop any funding to Ukraine and with the source of weaponry gone this is just going to end in a stalemate for the next few years. Meanwhile it is reported that Russian oil is trading above the 60 dollar price cap because Russia is now using non-western insurance companies
Here is the episode if anyone wants to watch it
The guy is usually pretty gung ho in Ukraines favour and even he felt frustrated and despondant about the whole situation.

Many “Whelps”! Handle It!
My second ballcap from Saint Javelin came today, and these things are really well made. Just as nice, possibly even a little nicer, than my Ralph Lauren Polo caps. And to think they make them to order by hand as near you as possible.
On the war: I watched a rather deflating interview with a terribly wounded Ukrainian soldier about how the counter attack is going. Basically even with the modern mechanized equipment that can overpower Russian gear, they're still facing almost impossible odds at times because the Russian artillery simply outclasses theirs range wise. We really need to get Ukraine some serious artillery if we're not already.

Ukraine's internal situation is tragic, a very weak economy held mainly by external support, a demographic disaster where 6 million young women, children, have fled to the west, to Poland, Germany. Few of them will return after experiencing a much better standard of living, even more so if the war continues. And the end of the conflict could make it even worse as millions of men will also leave for the west for better wages and will not want to live in a war-ruined country. And then you have external factors that don't favor them, like the resistance of Republicans in the U.S. to aid or the blocking of aid from the EU by Hungary, this will now be joined by Slovakia as well, and here we are talking about 50 billion euros by 2027, huge funds for Ukraine. I am from Poland so a tragedy for Ukraine is also a tragedy for my country, i see it all in increasingly black colors, it is difficult to be optimistic.

Ukrainian forces liberated Krynky on the south side of the Dnipro and Konka River.
New explosions confirmed in occupied Crimea.
This is Sevastopol where the explosion shocked this resident despite the air raid warning sounding.
It's seems Russia's defenders again put up the now familiar smokecreen in Sevastopol, but Crimea Wind Telegram channel quotes subscribers saying there there was a strike in the area.
Inevitably, occupiers say air defence worked, which may be partially true.
It's also reported there may have been a strike on the Novofedorivka airfield, on the west coast, north of Sevastopol. Fire trucks seen heading there.

Russia finally "ready" for Ukraine peace talks
newsweek.com/russia..."The Kremlin has specified a few conditions that are non-negotiable for Russia, including that Ukraine must accept the September 2022 annexation of four of its regions—Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia—following referendums called by Putin that were deemed illegal by the international community."

Countering disinformation with facts - Russian invasion of Ukraine
The Kremlin has long spread disinformation and propaganda to achieve its objectives. It continues to disseminate lies to justify its unprovoked, unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine. Below, you will find a sample of the many lies by the Russian regime about its invasion of Ukraine, along with the truth. This information is based on Government of Canada intelligence.

Ukrainian fighters are achieving "good results" on the left bank of the Kherson region, but we can't talk about it (details) yet, - OK "South"

When are the Russians gonna fucking wake up, this "stalemate" is such a monumental waste of life and Russia is just pissing its future down the drain for what? It'll never win and what has it actually gained? Destroyed villages, infrastructure and a population that utterly hates it?? I just can't wrap my head around how the elite of Russia just keep plowing on with this and the population just keeps signing up to die horribly for nothing more than the vanity of an insane old cunt... Fucking Russians, 21st century Nazi's without the cool uniforms, I wish they'd hurry up and all die and give the rest of the world a break

Looks like I got it right , when the war started . Ukraine has to give up those 4 territories, politics blabla.we the West never really gave the good stuff. We could easily have started with stealth fighters . Hell even f16s when the war started , would have been flying 6 months in ..
Sad state of affairs , NATO doesn’t care they get a larger border against Russia anyway.
