🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz has had enough of the Kiev regime, tells Zelensky to ’seek peace.’

🇷🇺🇺🇦 In the morning the enemy recognizes the advance of our troops at Bogdanovka, in the Kleshcheevka area, as well as to the west of Artemovsk in the direction of Krasnoye

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Artemovsk region after the loss of operational initiative and the start of the offensive of our troops continues to become more complicated. We can expect further advance of our troops to the north-west, west and south of Artemovsk.

In Crimea, the intelligence network of the Ukrainian Kyiv regime, created under Western control, was destroyed.

The enemy, using agents, planned the murders of the head of Crimea Aksenov, the chairman of parliament Konstantinov, the blogger Talipov and the public figure Tsarev.

In addition, Russian state security officers prevented the commission of 14 acts of sabotage and terrorism. 18 agents and accomplices of the Kyiv regime involved in committing 5 acts of sabotage have been detained, and 10 people have already been convicted of preparing terrorist attacks.

🇺🇲🇪🇺🇷🇺 The total volume of assistance from the United States and its European satellites to Ukraine from February 2022 to May 2023 amounted to $173 billion.
By the end of 2023, this figure will probably exceed 200 billion. 200+ billion in less than 2 years.

The main goal of these investments is to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and “reach the 1991 borders.” The failure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' summer offensive effectively derailed the strategic plan to achieve these goals and rendered a significant portion of these expenditures worthless.

Organizing another round of “offensive on Crimea” will require total costs of 100-150 billion dollars.

🇷🇺 The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation reported that the Russian Defense Ministry and the FSB consider it possible to hold presidential elections in the Russian Federation in four new regions of the country. Accordingly, in the spring of 2024, the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will elect the president of Russia for the first time.

🇪🇺 The latest GDP figures show that the eurozone contracted in the third quarter and looks like it will do the same in the last three months of the year falling into a continent-wide recession.

“Final figures confirmed eurozone GDP contracted 0.1% in the third quarter. What's more, the detailed breakdown showed the European economy has no engines of growth at the moment. Although private consumption posted a small gain over the previous quarter, the near-term outlook still looks dire, and with both investment and exports unlikely to provide much momentum, the economy looks set to slide into recession in the fourth quarter,”

The boomerang effect of sanctions on Russia and the ongoing polycrisis is now hurting Europe more than Russia. After Russia put in a surprisingly good year and managed to dodge most of the ill-effects of the extreme sanctions imposed on it following the invasion of Ukraine last year. Russia is now the biggest and fastest growing economy in Europe (in PPP) boasted Putin.
