🌾 JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS, Russian Government temporarily BANS export of wheat.

Russia is the largest grain exporter in the world, able to considerably affect world food prices.

“The decision is aimed at ensuring domestic food security in winter and to maintain a stable situation with prices for wheat products on the domestic market" - the government press release states.

The ban does not apply to humanitarian assistance or specific quotas to Eurasian Economic Union countries. The temporary restriction elsewhere is now in force until May 31, 2024.

🇱🇧 The official Lebanese government and the Lebanese Armed Forces have received an ultimatum from Israel:

Israel will launch a ground operation in southern Lebanon if Hezbollah and other paramilitary forces are not withdrawn to UN Security Council-agreed positions within the next 48 hours.

Mutual Hezbollah and IDF strikes began simultaneously as the situation in the region escalated.

🔶️ "Western analysts claim declining Chinese imports are a sign of weakness. Not so simple: S&P Global reports that China has substituted domestic inputs for foreign ones in high-tech industry, e.g. EV's. Also: China imports a lot more from ASEAN and LatAm, less from developed markets. China is consolidating an economic zone in Asia and elsewhere in the Global South."

US Republican Senator James Vance on Ukraine

‘Washington needs to accept the fact that Ukraine will have to cede some territories to Russia’. Do you agree with that?

❗️"It's a defeat": The Washington Post admits that Kiev is losing the conflict.

The publication notes that "Ukraine’s fate is hanging in the balance". There are two reasons for this: the opposition of Republicans in the US House of Representatives to further support for Kiev regime and EU aid, which is being blocked by Hungarian PM Viktor Orban.

The danger for Ukraine is not just the stalemate described by Zaluzhny, but the fact that the AFU is running out of equipment and will have to retreat. The article states:

Ukraine's defeat would be as much a strategic disaster for the United States and its NATO allies.

— 🇮🇱/🇱🇧 NEW: Israel will issue proposal for an 'agreed reality' with Hezbollah; if they reject, Israel will be forced to act militarily - Channel 12

According to the report, Israel will issue a proposal to Hezbollah for 'an agreed reality' (i.e. temporary peace) based on the following two conditions:

1. The removal of Hezbollah to a minimum of 5-7 kilometers from the border, so that it will not be possible to fire ATGMs directly at the Israeli settlements in the North.

2. No change in the area after the removal of Hezbollah, i.e. the prevention of reconstructing Hezbollah outposts that were destroyed by the IDF.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz, if Hezbollah does not retreat from the border area, Israel will have no choice but to launch a 'broad military campaign' in the North.

While in the United States, Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News that Russia “did not occupy a single village” in 2023 😳

Earlier, Ukrainian media wrote that Maryinka had completely come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, and the commander of the Tavria operational-strategic group of troops, Alexander Tarnavsky, reported on the Russian offensive along the entire front line.
