🇬🇧🇺🇦 Cameron: Britain wants to increase support for Ukraine in 2024

The UK wants to maintain the same level of assistance to Ukraine in 2024 and possibly increase it. British Foreign Minister David Cameron stated this in an interview with The Telegraph.

According to him, London is currently studying which components of spending can be transferred to a multi-year basis.

Cameron believes that Britain could potentially provide even more support to Kiev than it currently does. He believes more can be done to increase the amount of weapons and equipment produced by Britain's defense companies.

In 2022, London provided military assistance to Kiev for 2.3 billion pounds ($2.92 billion) and committed to spending no less than this year for these purposes. However, similar commitments for 2024 have not yet been announced.

Ukraine admitted defeat in the information war

Ukraine lost the information war, which already has a negative impact on the country’s army and Western aid. Kiev political scientist Ruslan Bortnik spoke about the consequences of the defeat.

So, according to him, a loss will result in a shortage of volunteers in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a reduction in assistance from Western allies. In addition, he added, the Ukrainian military will also strive to “jump from the army” in any way.

“ We Ukrainians ourselves created this narrative trap that we fell into,” he said.

In the current situation, both the government of the country, which does not have sufficient experience in public administration and the people who elected it are to blame, Bortnik believes.

Don't see the problem. You betrayed everyone every time. But you can continue pumping money if that makes you feel better. But seems you don't want that either. Kim Dotcom summarized it perfectly recently.

The Czech authorities decided to pay Ukrainian refugees so that they would go home

Ukrainians will be able to reimburse part of the costs associated with the move, Czech Radio clarifies. You can use the right only once; the exact amount has not yet been established. The president of the country has already signed the law.

Earlier, the Estonian Ministry of Internal Affairs announced its readiness to extradite refugees of mobilization age in the country to Kiev. In Germany, this practice was abandoned.

Ukraine will pay off loans within 35 years - Die Welt

In December 2022, the European Union issued a loan plan for Ukraine of 18 billion euros. This month, Kiev will receive the last tranche for 1.5 billion euros, said the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen. The 2024 lending plan was not adopted due to Hungary's veto.

All pensions and benefits in Ukraine are fully paid with credit funds, the German publication reports. Also, schools, hospitals, shelters, and other municipal institutions operate using loans.

According to experts, the period for repayment of loan funds will take 35 years if Ukraine begins to repay them at the end of this year.

Focus: It is in the interests of Germany to bring Ukrainians of military age back home

It is in Germany's interests to return Ukrainian men of military age to Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by Ulrich Reitz, chief correspondent for Focus magazine.

According to him, integration courses turned out to be ineffective. More than half of Ukrainian refugees were unable to pass the language exam to the minimum level.

The journalist also pointed out that much fewer Ukrainians work in Germany than in other countries, that is, they “overstay and get stuck” on social benefits.

He believes that all these facts indicate that it is time for the German authorities to rethink their attitude towards Ukrainians and send their men of military age back to their homeland.

Overview for the morning of December 24, 2023

The enemy, against the backdrop of a worsening situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front, openly disseminates in its media theses about the inevitable mass mobilization and the need for readiness for defense. Kiev speakers, in whose roles select Nazis are invited to appear on TV, are beginning to push narratives about “the inevitability of negotiations at the end of any war ” and, at most, “Ukraine’s strong position” in these negotiations. Moscow is not yet satisfied with the proposed conditions, although the military-political leadership of Russia is behind the scenes studying Kiev’s mediocre attempts in this direction.

Meanwhile, at the front of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the command was given not to retreat, to hold the LOC (Line of contact -admin note) at any cost, even the bloodiest. The enemy is trying to prepare a line of defense for 2024 and is doing it chaotically, not understanding what the main strategic plan of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be. While enemy fortified areas are being built around cities in eastern Ukraine, effectively dooming their population to “ fighting in urban areas".

The Russian Armed Forces are learning to fight, the main enemy is our sloppiness and underestimation of the enemy. The interaction between divisions, units, and branches of the military, about which the channels of our front-line soldiers write so much, remains at the “no damn” level. A striking and tragic example of this past week was the death of several aircraft in the Kherson direction. The aviators did not receive data from the reconnaissance of ground units on a systematic basis; they flew to transport the FAB from the UMPC along almost the same route for weeks. Experts argue about the details and means of destruction (Patriot or S-300) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Near Krynki, the extermination of boat landing groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues every night.

However, there are many positive examples. From the Avdeevsky direction, they reported effective interaction between aviation and tank units of the Russian Army, as a result of which success was achieved on the northern ledge of this section of the front near Stepovoy. At the same time, enemy FPV drones and UAV bombers remain a serious problem for our troops throughout the LOC.

The Artemovsk ( Bakhmut ) direction is characterized by heavy fighting at Bogdanovka, Ivanovsky ( Krasny ), and Kleshcheevka. Our troops break through the enemy’s defenses, but the completely ignorant soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, intimidated by the command, are forced to hold the line and die as entire units. Experts estimate the daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine only in the “two hundredths”, from 800 to 1 thousand people along the entire length of the front.

The Zaporozhye Front reports the enemy's senseless attempts to portray activity in the Rabotino-Verbovoe pocket. Experienced officers write to us about daily attacks by small groups of enemy infantry, constant shelling, and many drones. However, our paratroopers, replenished with a special contingent are leading an offensive at Verbovoy.

The enemy assesses the Maryinsk direction as “critical”: our troops are pressing Novomikhailovka from three sides, and desertions are increasing among the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Paratroopers trained in England also go to the rear “for quarters.” The Ukrainian “mobs” abandoned in positions are fighting desperately: the information vacuum and enemy propaganda are doing their job.

In general, the front is characterized by the seizure of the strategic initiative by the Russian Armed Forces. The enemy is still very strong and the concentration of the efforts of the Russian Armed Forces on certain sectors of the front, as on Avdeevka, does not lead to deep breakthroughs, although it puts the Armed Forces of Ukraine at a disadvantage with heavy losses. The enemy intends to defend at any cost, regardless of losses.
