Day 1663 War in Ukraine

Trump suggests that Ukraine unilaterally desist from bombing Russian oil refineries. Ukraine responds by suggesting that both Ukraine and Russia refrain from hitting “critical infrastructure” on both sides. Tatarigami: “Russia’s entire winter campaign plan is built around destroying Ukraine’s energy sector.” So Trump is enormously overstating how much the two sides have agreed.

Blogger discusses Ukrainian targeting strategy.

Train hit within 2km from the Polish border. Poles concerned.

Finland will join France’s proposed 'extended' nuclear deterrent system.”

EU leaders discuss military strategy against Russia.

“...the United States now has, on orbit, space-control weapons, capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversaries.” Could be massively destabilizing!

Pro Publica's report on Don Jr. and his latest wedding and the Russian oligarch who put out hundreds of thousands of dollars for it. They rented an island, which can go for $100k a night! Also a fireworks show that goes for $70k. What is the Kremlin friend's relationship to Don Jr.? No one's sure. Strong Middle East connections.

Ukrainian anti-drone weapons.

Russians bomb a pharmaceutical warehouse.

Russians welcome call to “cease attacks on civilian infrastructure.” No mention of reciprocation.

Anti-war Russian opposition will lose due to rigged election. Strength of Putin's party will be judged by how hard they have to work to win. “Regarding 2024 [Russian] election, researchers estimated that at least 22 million of the 75 million votes cast for Putin were falsified.” Russian public increasingly in favor of ending war.

Lots of Russian facilities hit.
