🇾🇪🇮🇱 A Houthi spokesman said the group's armed forces would block the passage of any ships heading to Israel, with the exception of those carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Demographically Serbia is performing very well by European standards. Serbian TFR was likely above 1.65 in 2022 and births in Jan-February 2023 are down only 1% on last years numbers. If this keeps up Serbia’s TFR may end up ~1.7 for 2023. Huge turnaround (TFR sub 1.5 in 2018). Also this is far higher than Albania TFR (~1.2) & that of the federation of BiH (~1.14).

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡The Times confirms that the 47th Ukrainian brigade (one of the best equipped) stationed in Avdiivka is “surrounded and low on ammunition”

According to British media, this brigade was unable to attack the Russian column before it linked up with the assault infantry on the northern flank of Avdievka due to a lack of ammunition.

The fighting of the 47th brigade to stop the advance of the Russian Army in Avdievka is described as “desperate” and leading to the “inevitable collapse” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense, with the hope of “preventing President Putin’s victory by the beginning of the New Year holidays.”

🇺🇲🇺🇦 Elon Musk approached Zelensky about US citizen Gonzalo Lira, who has been in a Ukrainian prison since May.

"An American citizen sitting in prison in Ukraine after we sent over $100 billion? Is there more to this story than just criticism of Zelensky? If that's all, then we have a serious problem.

President Zelensky, please educate the American people on this issue," Musk wrote.

Let us remind you that the SBU detained Lira in Kharkov after his streams on YouTube. Ukrainian authorities stated that the American filmed Ukrainian military personnel and insulted them.

Judging by information from open sources, Gonzalo Angel Quintilio Lira Lopez is a native of California. In his videos on YouTube and on Telegram, he criticized NATO, the Biden administration and the “Zelensky regime.”

🇾🇪🇫🇷 France reports that the Houthis deliberately tried to attack the French frigate Languedoc, which allegedly shot down 2 Houthi drones trying to hit the ship.

The Houthi command does not comment on this attack.

At the same time, the Houthi command threatens to attack any ships that travel through the Red Sea to Israeli ports. NATO is now strengthening its naval force in the Red Sea, but in any case, the Houthi threats have already seriously raised the risks of shipping in the area and caused significant economic damage to Israel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Units of the Russian Armed Forces raised the Russian flag over Marinka.

Now the assault groups are gaining a foothold, strengthening their positions, and conducting reconnaissance of the nearest forest belt and the settlement of Georgievka. Enemy firing points are identified and destroyed, preparing the ground for further actions.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 An Al-Yassin grenade dropped from a drone on an Israeli Namer and RPG-7 strikes on Merkavas and infantry.

As before, the bulk of Hamas footage consists of shots fired at lone Israeli armor. However, after a long time, the first drop of an anti-tank grenade from a drone appeared, although, apparently, it was unsuccessful.

It can be seen that several Israeli Namers and armored bulldozers are standing side by side. If Hamas had more drones and trained operators, the IDF would have suffered many more losses in equipment and manpower.
