The EU has no legal basis for recognizing a state as a sponsor of terrorism - even the US has refused to label Russia. The idea that someone from a blood-drenched NATO state would name someone else as a sponsor of terrorism before naming their own state is absurd. Mick Wallace

🇪🇺 The European Parliament recognized Russia as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism”

The move is largely symbolic, as the EU reportedly lacks a legal basis for such recognition.

⚡️ Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine
(27 November 2022)

Russian Federation Armed Forces continue the special military operation.

💥As a result of a Russian Aerospace Forces' high-precision weapons hitting on the temporary deployment locations of the so-called Foreign Legion fighters, up to 100 foreign mercenaries and six armoured vehicles were destroyed near Chasov Yar (Donetsk People's Republic).

In Kupyansk direction, artillery fire against the AFU's assembly areas thwarted the enemy attack at Novoselovskoye (Lugansk People's Republic). Up to 30 Ukrainian servicemen and two pickup trucks were annihilated.

In Krasny Liman direction, preventive fire damage in Stelmakhovka and Ploshchanka (Lugansk People's Republic) foiled attempts of the AFU to launch an offensive with two company tactical units in the direction of Kolomyychikha and Ploshchanka (Lugansk People's Republic).

💥The enemy also made futile attempts to equip strong positions and gain a foothold close to Ploshchanka and Chervonopopovka.
As a result of artillery fire, AFU units were halted and pushed back to their initial positions. The enemy's losses in this direction amounted to over 50 Ukrainian personnel killed and wounded. Three armoured fighting vehicles and four special vehicles were eliminated.

In Donetsk direction, the AFU's counterattacks were repulsed near Soledar, Opytnoye, Kurdyumovka, and Mayorsk as a result of the Russian forces' fire defeat and decisive operations. Up to 70 Ukrainian personnel were neutralised, as well as two tanks, three armoured fighting vehicles, and five pickup trucks.

In South Donetsk direction, the enemy attempted to retake the lost position in Novomikhailovka, Pavlovka, and Shevchenko (Donetsk People's Republic). Artillery strikes and assault units repulsed all of the attacks, and the enemy was forced back to the initial positions. The Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered 60 casualties in this direction, as well as one infantry fighting vehicle, two armoured fighting vehicles, two MT-LB vehicles, and five motor vehicles.

💥Operational-Tactical and Army Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery struck six enemy command posts in Sadovoye, Dudchany, and Zolotaya Balka (Kherson region), Yampol (Donetsk People's Republic), and Kislovka (Kharkov region), as well as 62 artillery units at firing positions, manpower, and military equipment in 137 areas.An ammo depot outside Dnipropetrovsk, which stored over 100 HIMARS multiple-launch rockets and over 7,000 foreign-made large-calibre artillery rounds, was destroyed. Four missile and artillery ammunition depots of the AFU Zaporozhye force grouping have been destroyed near Razumovka (Zaporozhye region).

💥Two HIMARS MLRS rockets were shot down by air defence near Bogdanovka (Kherson region). In addition, a Excalibur artillery giuded round was intercepted near Miropolye (Sumy region).

📊In total, 333 airplanes and 177 helicopters, 2,565 unmanned aerial vehicles, 390 air defence missile systems, 6,848 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, 904 combat vehicles equipped with MRLS, 3,620 field artillery cannons and mortars, as well as 7,381 units of special military equipment have been destroyed during the special military operation.

The work of the Large Hadron Collider was stopped ahead of schedule
CERN shut down the Large Hadron Collider on November 28 to save energy

GENEVA, November 28 - RIA Novosti. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) halted operation of the Large Hadron Collider on November 28, two weeks ahead of the originally scheduled date, in an effort to conserve energy due to the risk of a shortage.
Earlier, CERN said in a statement that the technical shutdown for the end of 2022 (YETS) will begin on November 28, that is, two weeks earlier than originally planned, and in 2023 the operation of the accelerator complex will be reduced by 20 percent.
CERN is the world's largest laboratory for high energy physics. The Large Hadron Collider was created by the European Organization for Nuclear Research with the participation of physicists from many countries, including Russia. It is located on the border of Switzerland and France.
With the help of the LHC, it was possible to make one of the most important discoveries of modern physics - to prove the existence of the Higgs boson, an elementary particle responsible for the existence of mass in other particles.

"Points of invincibility" can crush the mayor of Kiev Vitali Klitschko.

In Ukraine, a conflict is breaking out between the administration of Kiev and the office of the president. The advertised "points of invincibility" turned out to be, for the most part, just cold tents.

Interestingly, these items have become a tool for undermining Klitschko's authority as mayor of the city.

"Somewhere there are three generators, but they are not connected, somewhere there is not a single generator, somewhere there is no Internet, somewhere there is no water." The head of the faction of the ruling "Servant of the People" party, David Arahamia, checked these points and accused Klitschko of inaction.

In response, Klitschko immediately tried to score political points for himself and accused the authorities of manipulations on this topic.

Elections are just around the corner and political opponents are already using the topic of hostilities to their full advantage.

"Bloody whirlpool": named the reason for the heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Bakhmut.

The reluctance to leave the city is costing the Kyiv regime too much.

The number of casualties suffered by Ukrainian nationalists near Bakhmutov (Artyomovsk) in recent days is approaching 500. The New York Times published a headline that Bakhmut is becoming a "bloody whirlpool." At the same time, it is reported that only on November 25-26, 290 wounded were delivered to the Ukrainian rear, and their flow "seems to be endless."

Heavy losses by the Ukrainians for absolute zero gain
General Sergei Surovikin radically changed Russia's operational plans in the war in Ukraine.
“Indirect action” aims to deprive enemy forces of the resources they need to continue the war by destabilizing them.

As a result, the Russian army temporarily abandoned large-scale offensive operations against the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Since November 10, Sergei Surovikin has worked to destroy the critical infrastructure of the kyiv regime with massive strikes against various energy installations. The actions of the Russian general also affect the physical and moral state of the enemy, and the effect will intensify as the weather cools. So don't expect Russian missile strikes to stop. Ukraine's critical infrastructure has been so weakened that every time the Russians carry out another airstrike, the Ukrainian national system crumbles. The most important thing now is that the switch in Ukraine is in General Surovikin's hand.

UK Should Plan for Long Term Like Russia and China, Sunak Says
Premier to deliver first major foreign policy speech in London
Sunak has taken softer line on China than predecessor Truss
ByKitty Donaldson for Bloomberg

Rishi Sunak will argue the UK should plan its foreign policy for the long-term to match the strategies of other world powers such as Russia and China, as the prime minister makes his first major foreign policy speech.
“Our adversaries and competitors plan for the long term,” Sunak will say in London on Monday evening, according to his office. “In the face of these challenges, ‘short-termism’ or wishful thinking will not suffice. So we will make an evolutionary leap in our approach. This means being stronger in defending our values and the openness on which our prosperity depends.”

‘Publishing is not a crime’: media groups urge US to drop Julian Assange charges
First outlets to publish WikiLeaks material, including
the Guardian come together to oppose prosecution

The US government must drop its prosecution of the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange because it is undermining press freedom, according to the media organisations that first helped him publish leaked diplomatic cables.

Twelve years ago today, the Guardian, the New York Times, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, and El País collaborated to release excerpts from 250,000 documents obtained by Assange in the “Cablegate” leak. The material, leaked to WikiLeaks by the then American soldier Chelsea Manning, exposed the inner workings of US diplomacy around the world.

The editors and publishers of the media organisations that first published those revelations have come together to publicly oppose plans to charge Assange under a law designed to prosecute first world war spies.

“Publishing is not a crime,” they said, saying the prosecution is a direct attack on media freedom.

Assange has been held in Belmarsh prison in south London since his arrest at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2019. He had spent the previous seven years living inside the diplomatic premises to avoid arrest after failing to surrender to a UK court on matters relating to a separate case.

The then UK home secretary, Priti Patel, approved Assange’s extradition to the US in June but his lawyers are appealing against this decision.

Under Barack Obama’s leadership, the US government indicated it would not prosecute Assange for the leak in 2010 because of the precedent it would set. The media outlets are now appealing to the administration of President Joe Biden – who was vice-president at that time – to drop the charges.

The Kremlin commented on the high ratings of Putin
Peskov called Putin's high ratings proof of the effectiveness of his work

MOSCOW, November 28 - RIA Novosti. The high trust rating of Russian President Vladimir Putin is a traditionally high indicator, a phenomenon that proves that he works effectively and meets the aspirations of the people, said the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov.
The latest results of a poll by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM)* showed that 78.7 percent of Russians trust the Russian president, and 75 percent approve of his activities.

"As for trust in the president, these are traditionally very high indicators, some small, <...> very small changes occur from week to week - what we record based on the results of the work of sociological services - but in general, indeed, this is such a phenomenon: Putin is a high level of public confidence. This suggests that he works effectively, and most importantly, what he does really meets the aspirations of people, "Peskov said, answering the question whether the Kremlin considers the president's rating Russia, published by VTsIOM, is sufficient and whether Vladimir Putin himself relies on it.
According to Peskov, the support of citizens for Putin is the most important thing, and the President of Russia always bases his decisions and all his work on this broad support, which he himself has repeatedly spoken about.
*Russian Public Opinion Research Center is a state-owned polling institution established in 1987, known as the All-Union Center for the Study of Public Opinion until 1992. VTsIOM is the oldest polling institution in post-Soviet Russia and one of Russia's leading sociological and market research companies.

Russian troops are close to the encirclement of Artemovsk
Acting head of the DPR Pushilin said that Russian troops are close to the encirclement of Artemovsk

MOSCOW, November 28 - RIA Novosti. Denis Pushilin, acting head of the DPR, announced on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel about the successes in the offensive of Russian troops in the vicinity of Artemovsk.
“The situation in Artemovsk remains difficult, but our units, in particular the Wagner unit, are definitely moving forward. These are not only settlements that have been announced, but there is also success in the vicinity of Artemovsk itself. The situation of the operational encirclement is quite close,” he said.
The city of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is located in the Kyiv-controlled part of the DPR, north of Gorlovka. This is an important transport hub for supplying the grouping of Ukrainian troops in the Donbass. According to the Ministry of Defence, over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to counterattack in the Artemovsk direction with the forces of four company tactical groups in order to stop the advance of Russian troops, but were dispersed. Their losses amounted to 80 servicemen, one tank, three armoured fighting vehicles, two pickup trucks and a car.

The 1st Army Corps of the DPR put the enemy to flight and took their positions

The artillery of the 1st AK, the fire of which was corrected with the help of Mavic drones, massively shelled the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian servicemen could not stand the artillery barrage and fled in panic. The fighters took advantage of this and immediately took and cleared the enemy's positions.
