“Ukraine is behaving like a drowning man who is clutching at everything,” Polish President Andrzej Duda said at the UN General Assembly.

Duda canceled a meeting planned for Tuesday with Zelensky due to delays in his schedule of appearances at the UN General Assembly. Duda also mentioned the dispute over Ukrainian grain during a briefing for Polish media at the UN headquarters in New York.

“We're dealing with something like drowning. Anyone who has ever taken part in rescuing a drowning person knows that a drowning person is incredibly dangerous and that he can pull himself to the depths. It has unimaginable power, driven by personal fear and the effects of adrenaline, and can simply drown a rescuer. They say that a drowning man grabs razors, and indeed, a drowning man grabs everything he can,” said the President of Poland.

“It's a bit like the situation between Poland and Ukraine. Ukraine is under Russian onslaught, undoubtedly in a very difficult situation, and is grabbing at everything it can. Is it possible to be offended by her? Of course, you can be offended. Do you need to act in such a way as to protect yourself from harm caused by drowning? Of course, we must act in such a way as to protect ourselves from the harm caused by a drowning person, because if a drowning person causes harm and drowns us, he will not be helped. Therefore, we ourselves must take care of our own interests, and we will do this effectively and decisively,” he added.

🇺🇲🇺🇦❗️Ukraine will not receive ATACMS missiles , Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson tweeted.

According to the correspondent, Zelensky urgently requested these missiles to destroy Russian troops in Crimea and other Russian-controlled territories “in the near future.”

Let us recall that the MGM-140 ATACMS is conceptually an analogue of the Tochka-U and Iskander-M OTRKs, has a range of up to 300 km and can be launched from the HIMARS and M270 missile launchers already available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

I get the feeling from the above that Ukraine is about to get cut off. The Great Counteroffensive was their last shot and their sponsors are rapidly deciding to stop throwing good money after bad.

The postwar cope from the West will be, "Well at least we deterred the Russians from going further into Europe," never mind that any intention of such they've developed has come about as a direct result of this war.

Russians seem to have considerably tightened up air defenses in Crimea after the missile attack on Sevastopol. Possibly more combat air patrols?

It looks as though this morning may have been the first infrastructure strikes of the winter campaign. Wait and see but Ua air defense ate shit tonight hard and failed to prevent strikes in multiple regions.

Kiev (multiple hits) *lost power*
Kharkov (6+ hits) *lost power*
Rivne (at least 2) *lost power*
Vinnista (maybe hit)
Khmelnytskyi (1 hit)
Cherkassy (at least 2)

I challenge you to find one person impressed with Ukraine's grand offense, other than those impressed with how badly it failed.
