To me, this is a symbolic picture.
Soldiers, going to defend the country, pass by their ancestors who've done their duty in the past wars, and now it's the current generation's turn to prove themselves capable of handling this crisis.. because when they're buried, it'll be their grandchildren going to war to defend this very grave and soil.

๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆThe head of the US PMC Mozart Group which fights on the side of Ukrainian Armed Forces said that Ukrainians killed surrendered soldiers and committed "atrocities".
According to Andrew Milburn, Ukraine is a "corrupt society" led by "fucked up" people.
The interview took place in an informal atmosphere with alcohol, so the American was unconstrained in his expressions.
Earlier, in an interview with Newsweek, Milburn said that the AFU suffered heavy losses and had problems with troop replenishment. He said that conscripts were often sent to the front line without proper training.

All Ukraine's oligarchs have grown poorer because of Russia. Zelensky promised de-oligarchisation of Ukraine but it's Putin who's fulfilling it.
All these people deserve to have their fortunes reduced to zero.

I have a relative in Israel who is a wild supporter of Ukraine. We haven't spoken for a long time, but I suspect he doesn't care much, in a negative way, about the visit to the promised land of the Russian-banned Azov either.
The argument that all their seized bases are literally crawling with Nazi symbols, as well as the fact that I watched the most fanatical figures in 14-15 years volunteering there from inside the far-right movement (all sorts of things happened in my youth), do not have an effect. As a rule, Jews loyal to Ukraine cite Zelensky's Jewishness as a reason and turn a blind eye to the rest.
However, there are things that are very hard to turn a blind eye to. There is such a place in Kiev as Babi Yar - a tract where during the Second World War mass executions of civilians, mostly Jews and Gypsies, took place. To reach it from the right bank, you have to cross Roman Shukhevich and Stepan Bandera avenues, named so in 2016 when the nationalists came to power.
The first mentioned above, head of the OUN-UPA, was involved in the mass shootings of Jews and Poles in western Ukraine. The second did the same, he assisted the Germans in punitive operations, helped organize terror in the occupied territories, until his masters shook him for his exorbitant independence and big appetite.
What normal Jew would tolerate a street in their honor leading to Babi Yar? Zelensky is a schlemiel, a traitor to his culture, a Nazi henchman. And no normal Jew can sympathize for the sake of any political agenda. What a shame and a disgrace.

The End of the Age of Sanctions?
Sanctions have long been the United States' favored diplomatic weapon, but the era of their dominance is coming to an end, writes Foreign Affairs.
According to the article, Russia and China have already scored at least one victory against them.
Washington increasingly relies on sanctions, but many of the affected countries have begun to strengthen their economies against such restrictions. Three developments in the last decade have convinced them of this need.
โช๏ธ In 2012, the United States cut Iran off from SWIFT to isolate the country financially. Other U.S. competitors wondered if they would be next.
โช๏ธ In 2014, Western countries imposed sanctions on Russia, prompting Moscow to make economic autonomy its top priority.
โช๏ธ In 2017, Washington launched a trade war with Beijing. By restricting exports of its semiconductor know-how to China, the U.S. made it clear to all its adversaries that their access to critical technology could also be restricted.
These three episodes contributed to the emergence of a new phenomenon: organized resistance to sanctions.
โช๏ธ Transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The largest transactions in local currencies take place between China, Russia, and India.
โช๏ธ Development of own payment systems.
โช๏ธ Digital currency. China already has experience with the digital yuan. It is protected from sanctions because the United States is unable to restrict the use of a virtual coin issued by another country's central bank.
Taken together, these innovations increasingly allow countries to conduct transactions through sanctions-protected channels, showing increasing independence from the United States.
In response, the author of the article suggests the creation of a special international organization dedicated to improving the effectiveness of sanctions, which he believes may be the only remedy for sanctions resistance.

The Storm of the Seas: Why the Admiral Gorshkov with Zircons will be the most dangerous opponent for surface ships.
The frigate "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Vasily Gorshkov" sails for its first exercises at sea after being refitted. Polar night has long reigned on the 69th parallel north. But you can see the world's first ship-based hypersonic missiles of the Zircon type ready for launch in their containers.
That's why the frigate is now getting more attention from so many countries around the world, following statements by President Vladimir Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu at a recent Russian Defence Ministry meeting. This sea voyage is the final test of all the ship's systems and crew before the main test - the upcoming long-distance voyage in January that will put the Zircons to the test.
"The ship is armed with cruise missiles, including long-range and hypersonic Zircon missiles. That, of course, brings with it some responsibility. There is no excitement, but also no doubt that all tasks will be properly fulfilled," said Oleg Gladkiy, commander of the Northern Fleet's Zircon missile ship unit.
The Zircons' exact capabilities are still secret and will not be disclosed. But even the approximate parameters of these missiles are already out of competition. Their flight speed is 8 times faster than the speed of sound, which is about 9.5 thousand kilometres per hour, and their range is up to 1000 kilometres.
