Russian MFA Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova:

💬 This is the first time in our history that instead of closing its airspace to a plane, a government has... prohibited a person from being on board this plane while it crosses its airspace. This is how far Russia haters have gone in their malicious stupidity. But this is what we read in an official statement from the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry: Yes, you can cross Bulgaria’s airspace, but Maria Zakharova cannot be aboard that plane.

However, it does not say whether I can fly over Bulgaria in any other way other than by boarding a plane or whether I can travel through outer space for that purpose.

On a more serious note, there is more than just stupidity here. In fact, this constitutes a dangerous and stupid move by some wire-puller within the Bulgarian government.

After all, it is the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation that governs air travel. It defines state territory as “the land areas and territorial waters adjacent thereto.” Air space is not covered by this definition. Therefore, the already illegal European Union sanctions cannot be applied to a person who is banned from entering a country’s territory while this person is on a plane during a non-stop flight over that state’s territory.

Have Bulgarian officials considered the fact that we could retaliate by giving the same treatment to thousands of NATO officials designated on our retaliatory stop lists? Have they thought about the dangerous international precedent this could set? I don’t think so.

Who gave these illiterate officials in Sofia the authority to discredit the people of Bulgaria this way?

PS. By the way, we are in Skopje 👋

It was exactly nine years ago today, December 7th, 2014, that I stepped off the bus in Donetsk. These last nine years have not been easy, by any means, but they have been the best years of my life.

🇻🇪 🇬🇾Escalating Tensions: Military Buildup on Venezuela-Guyana Border Sparks Concerns

As the longstanding dispute over the Essequibo area intensifies between Venezuela and Guyana, Brazil takes strategic measures to reinforce troops near the northern border. The contested territory, a source of contention for over a century between Caracas and Georgetown, is now at the center of escalating geopolitical tensions.

Caracas is set to conduct a consultative referendum on December 3, asserting the Bolivarian Republic's rights to the disputed territory west of the Essequibo River. The area in question spans 159,500 square kilometers, constituting the largest part of Guyana and housing a population of 283,000, with a total neighboring population of approximately one million.

Despite a 1983 convention signed by Caracas and Georgetown to peacefully resolve the territorial dispute, external influences, particularly U.S. intervention, have complicated matters. The discovery of a substantial oil source by ExxonMobil in 2015 further exacerbated tensions. Seven additional companies, including China National Offshore Oil Corporation, QatarEnergy, and TotalEnergies, recently received licenses for offshore development, contributing to the complex geopolitical landscape.

Unconfirmed reports allege that the entire government of Guyana is under the influence of ExxonMobil, raising concerns about the impartiality of the territorial dispute. This development has heightened tensions, especially for Caracas, given its sensitivity to the exploitation of oil-rich disputed territories.

Complicating the situation is the broader context of warming relations between Caracas and Washington. Recent U.S. policy shifts, including the lifting of restrictions on Venezuelan raw material exports and a shift in rhetoric towards Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, signal a potential period of reconciliation.

However, the emerging military conflict in Guyana threatens to disrupt this delicate phase of diplomatic engagement. Reports suggest that skirmishes along the Venezuela-Guyana border are already underway, adding urgency to the situation.

While the possibility of U.S. military intervention looms, the challenges associated with intervening in Venezuela, a sizable and resilient nation, give Washington pause. The potential for a protracted conflict and increased reputational risks for the U.S. Democratic Party further complicate any decision to engage militarily in the region. The evolving situation underscores the delicate balance between territorial disputes, geopolitical interests, and the broader implications for regional stability.

Too generous to the miner. You don't say?

🇵🇦🇨🇦 Panama trade minister resigns after mining contract backlash

Panama's Trade Minister Federico Alfaro announced his resignation on Thursday days after the country's top court ruled a contract between the government and Canadian miner First Quantum was unconstitutional.

The trade ministry led negotiations on a contract between the government and First Quantum to operate a key copper mine, which opponents have deemed as too generous to the miner.

In a resignation letter addressed to the president and shared on social media, Alfaro mentioned the contract, which generated months of protest throughout Panama, as well as the court ruling.

"Bad weather."

🇬🇾🇻🇪Helicopter carrying 5 senior Guyanese military officials is missing near border with Venezuela

A military helicopter carrying seven people vanished Wednesday near Guyana’s border with Venezuela, with authorities saying there was bad weather in the area and stressing there was no indication it may have been hit by hostile fire as tensions escalate between the countries.

Two crew members aboard the helicopter were taking five senior officers on an inspection of troops guarding a border area that Venezuela claims as its own, according to Army Chief Brig. Gen. Omar Khan.

🎥 For the 1064th meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security and Co-operation (FSC), the Russian Delegation has prepared a short video concerning the origins of the Ukrainian crisis, the involvement of the US and its allies in the 2014 coup d'état and their support for the aggressive Kiev regime, which for many years has waged war against the Russian-speaking eastern part of its country.

The material aims to remind Western opponents of Russia's numerous attempts to resolve the internal Ukrainian crisis (part of NATO's expansionist policy) by diplomatic means.

However, due to the destructive position of some delegations its screening was canceled. Representatives of some participating States simply did not want to bring up for discussion issues to which they a priori could not provide any reasonable counterarguments.

🚫 We believe that censorship and categorical intolerance of the official positions of those States whose view of things differs from the "Western mainstream" are unacceptable.

Фронтовая сводка 7 декабря

На Херсонском фронте без перемен. Позиции ВСУ в Крынках на месте. Используют частные дома и подвалы. Вся зона контроля противника находится под неустанным огнем российской артиллерии и ФАБов. Как я и писал вчера, не исключены попытки ВСУ атаковать на других участках у Днепра.

На Запорожском направлении подразделения армии России мощно ответили на атаку ВСУ и взяли под свой контроль новые позиции севернее Вербового. Бои продолжаются. Западнее идут позиционные бои под плотной работой артиллерии с обеих сторон. Попытка атаки ВСУ у Работино остались без успеха. Наша армия держит рубежи.

На Южно-Донецком направлении тоже без изменений в линии фронта. Армия России проводит методичные атаки в сторону Старомайорского и Урожайного. Также без остановки гремят бои на окраинах Марьинки — наши оттесняют остатки гарнизона ВСУ.

На Авдеевском направлении ухудшилась погода, идет мокрый снег. Несмотря на это серьезный бой шел на подступах к АКХЗ, российским военным помогала авиация. В Степном тоже идут ожесточенные бои. Также продолжаются атаки ВС РФ в сторону Новокалиново и Очеретино со стороны Красногоровки. На южном фланге относительное затишье – наши закрепляются в промзоне, ведут позиционные бои. В самой Авдеевке управляемой авиабомбой уничтожен наблюдательный пункт ВСУ.

На Артемовском направлении российские военные ведут бои на ключевой высоте, с которой контролируется вся Клещеевка, идут бои. По позициям ВСУ работает тяжелая дальнобойная артиллерия. Не смолкают тяжелые бои и на северном фланге Артемовска. ВС РФ стараются взять под контроль дорогу на Часов Яр, где располагаются важные высоты. Со стороны Белогоровки продолжаются атаки у Веселого. С мест сообщают, что за последние двое суток наша армия заняла более 10 опорных пунктов — отличные темпы.

На Купянском и Краснолиманском направлениях у Тернов наши сохраняют инициативу и продолжают наступление, есть продвижение. У Петропавловки и Синьковки наши задействовали серьезные силы, верим в новые успехи армии России.

Ночью ударами Герани поражены портовые объекты в Одесской области — Измаиле, Килии, Рени. Не обошли вниманием и аэродром Староконстантинов. Судя по частоте ударов, цели на нем не заканчиваются.

Вчерашним ударом по Донецку ракетами HIMARS поражен битумный склад, погибла женщина. При тушении цистерн погибли двое пожарных. Всего пострадало 18 мирных жителей и 13 сотрудников МЧС. Сегодня в пригородах Донецка снова есть убитые и раненые.

Как я и писал, Сенат США не проголосовал за законопроект о пакете финансовой помощи, куда были включены $61 млрд Украине. Более того, Сенат заблокировал сам факт вынесения законопроекта на голосование, так как документ не прошел процедурное голосование. И пока нет никаких свидетельств, что в ближайшее время демократы и республиканцы придут к согласию. Как сообщается, ни одна из встреч украинской делегации не была успешной. Это помимо того, что не дали выступить Зеленскому.

Но при этом украинцы продолжают верить в себя. На совместном заседании представителей правительства США, руководителей оборонной промышленности с делегацией минобороны Украины, Киев представил свой новый список желаний: истребители F-18, вертолеты Apache и Blackhawk, транспортные самолеты, три вида беспилотников, а также системы противоракетной обороны и еще ряд наименований.

We Are Not Numbers.
"When we write about martyrs, we must remember that the occupation killed them. We must not leave the deed to the unknown."

Today, the occupation killed the martyr Dr. Refaat Al-Areer, one of the most prominent English professors in the Gaza Strip and the founder of We Are Not Numbers. Refaat, a writer and activist, empowered Palestinians to write their own stories, to take back the narrative, and to be heard by the world. He was a leading expert in Palestinian history and the zionist occupation, amplifying his principled anti-zionist stance to the world.

His final tweet was: "The Democratic Party and Biden are responsible for the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel."

"If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story."

Glory to our martyrs.

Another "accident." I wonder what "construction materials" explode like that.

🇧🇷🇬🇾🚛💥— A Brazilian Army truck overturned on the federal highway BR-401, connecting Boa Vista to Bonfim (RR), a city located on the border with Guyana.

‼️ The truck, capable of transporting up to five tons of materials, ended up exploding after the accident, which occurred at kilometer 71 in a rural area of Bonfim.

⚠️ Two military personnel who were in the truck were injured. According to information from the 1st Jungle Infantry Brigade, they were transporting only maintenance materials to the border town with the neighboring country.

🔍 Army authorities have already stated that they will investigate the causes of the accident.
