‼️🇺🇸US blames Russia for the missile strike in Poland regardless of what the outcome of the investigation is, White House

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson comments:
"Americans will now finally understand why the assassin of President Kennedy has still not been found, why the September 11, 2001 attacks were not prevented, why politicians and associated officials in America always manage to look clean in the most bloody cases, why thousands of high-profile cases have still not been solved - the US government simply didn't care about the results of the investigation. The White House has never been so blunt about it. The U.S. government always has someone to 'hold accountable' for political reasons," Zakharova commented.

Guardian did a story on a Russian who fought in Ukraine and deserted from his unit in June. He requested political asylum after landing in Madrid. He was with 64th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, a unit accused of committing war crimes in the Kyiv region.

Chibrin who spoke with journalists from the airport after he landed in the Spanish capital on Tuesday and was being held at the airport’s immigration centre said “denied involvement in the reported war crimes of his unit, saying he did not fire a gun “once” while in Ukraine”. He, however, said that Russian soldiers looted homes of locals and “that there were “widespread rumours” among his comrades that members of his unit were involved in sexual violence and killings of civilians”.

Why this story is important? Because we, journalists who report from Russian-controlled territories, are often accused of “spreading Russian propaganda” and interviewing people who are “scared of Russians so will say anything in Russia’s favour”. Yes, I have heard this million times from my readers, including Russian ones.

How different is this Guardian’s story? They are interviewing a man who fled Russia (because deserting is punishable - not just in Russia, in Ukraine& elsewhere, too), who is detained in Spanish airport and desperate to earn credits to be given an asylum. Won’t he say anything that western media wants him to say? Just asking.

❗️🇺🇦 These Nazi posters are being massively posted around Kherson

💬"Learn the Ukrainian language, because the war will end someday, but the habit of killing Russians will remain," reads the text on the poster 🤦

Do you still have doubts about nazism in Ukraine? 🙅‍♂️🤷‍♀️

The Ukrainian army plans to attack the Belgorod and Kursk regions of Russia as early as this winter

❗️Exclusive❗️

Ukrainian officer Vladimir Lepekhin, a prisoner of war, told @anna_news about the AFU's plans.

"Sabotage and reconnaissance groups are already working in Russian territory, carrying out subversive activities, and storing weapons and explosives, in order to carry out a full-scale offensive."

An attack is planned for the winter when the ground hardens and armored vehicles can pass over it.

AFU soldiers are already undergoing training for an offensive in the Kursk and Belgorod areas.

"I hope our leaders will somehow decide to stop this," says Volodymyr, who no longer wants to take up arms.

For more on Kiev's preparations to attack Russian territory, see our report.

2014: Zelensky joking about Crimea

How funny the way Zelensky joked about Ukraine cutting off the fresh water supply to Crimea. Everybody laughed so much.

Why isn’t he joking now? There will be no water and no electricity in Ukraine soon. Isn’t that hilarious?

❗️Exclusive footage from the Svatovo sector
A soldier of the BARS-9 unit said that their opponents, with American, Polish and other mercenaries fighting on their side, are taking casualties. The foreign fighters carrying out the offensive have been, allegedly, under the influence of drugs.

Watch out, Russians!

Watch this video from 2014. It is named “Watch out, Russians!” This obscenity was shown as a part of the project “Ukrainian cultural frontier” in Kiev. Show this video to your friends. Give them an opportunity to support "modern art"!

🇺🇸🇺🇦💀 An American mercenary was killed in Kherson region after barely arriving at the front

We've already written about the serious personnel shortage in foreign units of the AFU, which forces handlers to raise salaries and lower requirements for recruits.

It was in this situation that 21-year-old US citizen Trent Davis managed to get into the "International Legion of Ukraine". The American had no combat experience and was killed in the first battle.

▪️The Kansas native enlisted in the US Army at the age of 17, becoming a chemical operations specialist (CBRN).

▪️A US Army spokesman said Davis left the armed forces in December 2021.

▪️ In search of work and combat experience, the American went to Ukraine in March and joined the Georgian Legion.

▪️Two months later, he left Ukraine as Georgian mercenaries deemed him not experienced enough to participate in combat operations.

▪️ In October Davies returned to Ukraine. This time he managed to sign a contract with the International Legion, of which he boasted to his parents on 4 November.

▪️On 8 November his group left for the front line in the Kherson region. On the same day, the American was seriously wounded and died of blood loss during the evacuation.

▪️International Legion spokeswoman Enes Fike refused to answer questions about the presence of an untrained mercenary at the front. She said that "recruitment decisions are made by officers in western Ukraine".

Stupid politicans and their tweets. I hope I'll get Rishi Sunak to respond 😁

Lawrence of Arabia.

Thomas Edward Lawrence, recipient of the Order of the Bath and the Distinguished Service Order, alongside dozens of rewards I do not care enough to mention, was born on 1888, had a rather average childhood, with an abusive mother and a non-present father, he became interested in archeology fairly early in his life, and his mastery of languages became evident during that time as well, he was noted to speak extremely fluent French.

He basically became an archeologist, and he was sent to Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, learning Arabic and participating in several excavations.

He was already involved with the British Army by then, as he has submitted several land surveys about Lebanon and the Negev desert, and there's a high chance he may have fed intelligence reports of the German efforts on the Baghdad-Berlin railway to his country.

When the war began, he was commissioned in the army as an interpreter, he served in the Arab bureau in Cairo and studied the Middle Eastern situation and the prospects of a Revolt, he was then sent to Iraq, but his efforts there ended in failure.

As for his namesake, when the revolt began in 1916, he was dispatched to the Hejaz, and filtered out Arab leaders who would be the most suitable for this revolt, he acted as an attache to Faisal's staff (the future king of Syria and Iraq), Faisal apparently liked Lawrence so much, he retained him permanently for the duration of the war.

Lawrence generally led intelligence gathering operations, and participated personally in several raids and battles on Ottoman infastructure, that includes railways.

Anyway, he was eventually captured by the Ottomans, it is said that he was beaten and tortured and had some things done to him, no one knows if it is real or not, but Lawrence explained that his "integrity has been forever lost."

Lawrence was aware of the Sykes-Picot agreement, and, to his credit, he found it cringe, but then the world doesn't work on one man's opinion.

Well, what else to add? Lawrence was probably a faggot, he was a bureaucrat after the war and tried to live a life that was "exciting", and ended up dead in a motorcycle crash, and it is also noteworthy that he tried to exaggerate some of his efforts during the war to inflate himself, but the Truth usually comes out, sooner or later.

"The Russian army has run out of cruise missiles"

That's what the Ukrainian, American, and Brussels propagandists said. But there is a nuance.

▪️"How Was Russia Able to Launch Its Biggest Aerial Attack on Ukraine?
Western and Ukrainian officials have said Moscow’s stockpile of missiles was dwindling. But the assaults this week raise questions about that" - The New York Times reports.

Journalists offer four options as to where the Russian Armed Forces are getting their missiles.

▫️ The first is that they are foreign missiles from China and Iran, but even the Pentagon disagrees.

▫️The second option is that Russian defense enterprises were able to speed up production.

▫️ The third variant is that these are missiles from the S-300 Triumf SAM system, but this is the version of Ukrainian journalists.

▫️The fourth version is that these are Russian reserves in case of a large-scale conflict with NATO.

The second is considered the most realistic. Moscow has most likely been stockpiling the chips needed to build high-precision missiles since 2014.

▪️"Russian missiles are probably being produced as we speak," the interlocutor told The New York Times.

❓What is your opinion on IAEA and the work they do? Twitter limits the number of characters, so I had to condense my reaction.

⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on November 21

🔴Energy catastrophe
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is preparing for all possible scenarios due to attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including by intensifying imports of energy-generating devices, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said in a Facebook post.

As winter looms and the Russian missile strikes have crippled almost half of Ukraine's energy system, the humanitarian catastrophe risks are rising. The head of Ukraine's biggest private energy firm says people should consider leaving the country to reduce demand on the country's power network. "If they can find an alternative place to stay for another three or four months, it will be very helpful to the system," DTEK chief executive Maxim Timchenko told the BBC.

⚠️Playing with fire
As fighting intensifies in the east of Ukraine, where Russian forces pounded Ukrainian positions along the front line, as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his Sunday adress, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said more than a dozen blasts shook the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station (ZNPP) on Saturday and Sunday.

IAEA head Rafael Grossi said the attacks were extremely disturbing and completely unacceptable. "Whoever is behind this, it must stop immediately. As I have said many times before, you're playing with fire!" Grossi said in a statement.

🇪🇺EU looks east
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrel, advocated for the construction of transport corridors to Central Asia bypassing Russia. He believes that the European Union needs to tap the region's potential in energy supplies and imports of critical raw materials.

“It is clear that Russia but also China have played a major role in the region and continue to do so. Equally, it is obvious that the region is looking to diversify its relationships and that they see the EU as a partner of choice […] As EU, we have a clear interest to seize on these changes. We must deepen our ties with the region and tap into the vast potential it has to offer, in terms of energy supplies, critical raw materials and new transport corridors that do not depend on Russia (to so-called Middle Corridor or Trans Caspian Corridor),” he wrote.

📹ISW on Russian millbloggers
Following the investigation conducted by Russian independent media outlet The Bell on who is behind one of the most influential Russian Telegram channels, Rybar (it is a former employee of the Russian MoD’s press service, the publication found out), Washington-based Institute for the study of war (ISW) devotes its report to the rising influence of the milblogger (military correspondent or voenkor) community in Russia despite its increasingly critical commentary on the conduct of the war.

“The milblogger community is composed of a wide range of characters ranging from those who support the Kremlin while criticizing the Russian military command to some who have directly blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia’s consistent military failures in Ukraine. That the Kremlin tolerates the miblogger community is astonishing given its censorship of other more traditional outlets including opposition and foreign media,” the report says.

⭕“Boosting morale”
In Belgorod, two servicemen who refused to carry out orders were demonstrativley detained. This is the first time since the beginning of Russia’s “special operation” that a criminal prosecution has been initiated (they dace up to 3 years in prison). The video was widely disseminated on social media. Many commenters believe, it was done in order to prevent others from refusing to go to the frontline.
