“US allies will have to decide for themselves whether to further help Ukraine,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby
“If Congress does not agree to a new White House request for funds for Ukraine, allies will have to decide for themselves whether they will help Kiev,” Kirby said.
When asked by reporters whether Biden has a Plan B for Ukraine, Kirby could not answer, but clarified that Washington will do everything it can, albeit in an extremely limited format.
The package of military support for Ukraine announced today could be the last if Congress does not approve continued funding, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also warned.
-Music to Ukrainian ears. The west is sending their managerial class to do wonders for the Ukrainian economy and development sectors. If its anything like the US that will get rid of any middle class and siphon money upwards and will never be seen again. That's all we can offer jack.

After we recently noted Zaluzhny telling the US he needs 17 million artillery shells and $500B. REUTERS reports that Ukraine makes even further requests:
Ukraine's latest list of U.S. weapons it says it needs to fight the Russian military includes sophisticated air defense systems, F-18 "Hornet" fighter jets, drones, Apache and Blackhawk helicopters, according to documents seen by Reuters.
Officials from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense presented a "list of armaments to meet the needs of defense forces of Ukraine" during a closed-door session of a conference in Washington on Wednesday attended by government officials and defense industry executives.
The comprehensive list included weapons Ukraine already has in stock like Abrams tanks and 155 millimeter artillery, as well some weaponry such as F-16s, drones and long-range ATACMS missiles that it has asked for in the past.
But the list has a few surprises including big-ticket items like C-17 Globemaster transport jets made by Boeing (BA.N) and the C-130 Super Hercules made by Lockheed Martin (LMT.N). Boeing's Apache attack helicopters made the list, as did the Black Hawk helicopter made by Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky unit.
But the Ukrainians did not stop there. The documents show Ukraine is also seeking F-18 "Hornet" fighter jets, three types of drones made by General Atomics including the MQ-9B Sky Guardian and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) air defense system made by Lockheed.
No word on Excalibur or the Holy Grail being available.

Belgian army will be throwing ‘stones’ within hours of a war starting, laments ex-general
Politico writes that "since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Western governments have been funneling ammunition to Kyiv to help it fend off Moscow's attacks" there is nothing left for it's own armed forces.
Thys, who recently retired from the Belgian army with the rank of LT. General, said Tuesday on VRT that securing reserves of ammunition to fend off any attack lasting up to two months would take investment of "€5 to €7B," which is far more than the government currently provides. "I had €15M a year to buy ammunition, but that has now been increased to €150M,"
"If war breaks out here, we will have to throw stones after just a few hours due to a shortage of ammunition,"
..the shortage brings into focus the viability of continued deliveries to Ukraine if national stocks are running low.
Note to Self: Become Belgian warlord and rule over the Land of Chocolate.

▪️Putin has not yet made any statements about his intention to participate in the elections, you need to “be patient”;
▪️Peskov does not comment on the investigation into the murder of ex-Verkhovna Rada deputy Kiva, all explanations must be given by the Investigative Committee;
▪️The President of the Russian Federation and the Crown Prince of the UAE confirmed the previously reached agreements within OPEC+ and agreed to continue interaction;
▪️In the USA they are demonizing Russia in order to continue to burn their taxpayers’ money in the furnace of the Ukrainian conflict;
▪️The Russian Federation regrets that the US leadership continues the habit of using Russia as an instrument in its internal affairs;
▪️The United States is “a locomotive in terms of encouraging Ukrainians to go to war”;
▪️The escort of Putin’s plane by fighter jets during his visit to UAE and Saudi Arabia went smoothly, without incident.

Increasingly, people in Ukraine began to say that Russia has overtaken Ukraine in the UAV case, which threatens the security of Ukraine, which will not be able to withstand this problem.
Volunteer Maria Berlinskaya stated :
- “We are running out of people. If we don’t replace them, we will have to sit down at the negotiating table”;
- “The Russians have surpassed us many times over (in drones). If their superiority continues to increase, we will have to retreat tens of kilometers in a matter of weeks.”

Ukrainian channel Rezident:
In Ukraine, problems with air defense are making themselves felt again.
It has finally become clear that Western partners will not supply Ukraine with additional serious air defense. And this will have a fairly significant impact on the situation in the country this winter if the Russian Armed Forces strike at the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. At the moment, Ukraine can really cover only large cities - Kyiv, Lviv, Dnieper, Odessa. However, even an air defense system deployed over the capital will not be able to protect the city from massive air strikes if it is overloaded with a huge number of drones and missiles.
As for the rest of the country, including the front line, it is covered to a large extent by Soviet Buk air defense systems, adapted for the use of Western anti-aircraft guided missiles. In fact, the territory of Ukraine is poorly covered by air defense systems; it does not have complete protection. Naturally, the Russian Armed Forces make excellent use of this to move in the airspace and hit desired targets using kamikaze UAVs and various missiles. As a result, the same “Shahids” at long range and “Lancets” at close range cause extremely sensitive damage.

Krynki is becoming another sad (sad for the Ukrainian Armed Forces) symbol of this war. Hundreds of dead, thousands of wounded, and it’s all unclear for what purpose. I am increasingly convinced that my conspiracy theory, according to which the Kiev leadership is specially disposing of the most combat-ready units so that they do not become an open front and ensure a new Maidan, is not so far from the truth.
Fox holes in which dead soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lie, buried, torn to pieces, abandoned by everyone, a sort of apotheosis of war for four brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces marines.

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, who is now in Washington, said: “You are spending an additional 10% of your defense budget and destroying 50% of Russia's pre-war weapons and people with the courage of the Ukrainians. Without the deaths of Americans and British"
Zin Note: Russian military production has been completely transformed by the SMO. Even Ukrainians admit that the Russian military is another beast entirely compared to what it was at the start of the conflict. Russians now have an edge in fpv drones that were non-existent at the beginning. They have more tanks being produced and refurbished every day. Russia now has more missiles than ever, and they produce them at dizzying speeds along with the new Geraniums that are on their third generation, soon to be equipped with thermobaric warheads. The Coalition-SV self propelled artillery system is in mass production. In what way is the Russian military now weaker than it was before the SMO? Give us one piece of evidence for this.
@Slavyangrad
NGP RaZVedka:
⚠️ The situation in the Kherson direction. Krynki:
Landscape designers from the Aerospace Forces have closely taken up the enemy's bridgehead in this area, and the number and quality of airstrikes against enemy positions have increased sharply.
Every day, several dozen FABs fly across the Ukrainian territory; on some days, the number of strikes exceeds 80 per day; places where manpower accumulates, air defense systems and technical equipment are affected.
As a result of such a density of fire, the enemy suffers very significant losses, while he does not have the opportunity to evacuate the wounded in a timely manner, and also experiences significant difficulties in supplying his group on the left bank.
In this regard, currently in the Krynok area the number of enemy personnel has been significantly reduced and amounts to no more than a company.
Well-established interaction between various branches of the military, as we reported earlier , produces tangible results.

Poland predicts a major operation by Russian troops this winter
Ukraine is unable to defeat Russia on the battlefield for many reasons. She cannot wage a conflict of attrition. And the Russians, with the current intensity, can fight for another two to three years, Rochan Consulting calculated. Rumors that the Russian economy would collapse turned out to be greatly exaggerated.
▪️Russian troops are slowly preparing for their own large-scale offensive actions, Polish military analyst Konrad Muzyka told the Forsal newspaper.
The activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has undoubtedly decreased compared to the summer; after the counter-offensive, the opportunities to move forward have been exhausted. For months, the front has hardly moved, the changes are insignificant, the expert says.
“ The Russians have demonstrated many times that they do very well in winter and often use winter conditions for offensive operations. I expect... that in the next two to three months the Russian army will carry out some kind of major operation ."
▪️The expert found it difficult to assess where the front line will be in a year. He also advised the Ukrainians to create fortifications, like the Russians in Zaporozhye.

Ukrainian channel Strana:
Today, the level of electricity consumption was the highest since the beginning of the heating season.
Chairman of the Board of NEC Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudritsky spoke about this during the telethon.
According to him, the energy system did not have enough capacity of several power units of thermal power plants to fully cover such record consumption.
Ukrenergo was forced to attract emergency assistance from Slovakia, Poland and Romania to ensure that the energy system continued to operate safely and balanced even in such difficult conditions.
The head of Ukrenergo explained that the Ukrenergo backbone network, through which electricity is transmitted from power plants to the oblenergo network, has no bottlenecks today and operates without restrictions. But from time to time, Ukrainian generation, when consumption increases due to cold weather, finds it difficult to cover consumption with the existing composition.
Two factors can help compensate for the electricity shortage: a speedy exit from repairs of thermal power plant units and an increase in the volume of electricity imports from European countries.
“Today, electricity imports have been very limited. Ukrenergo has provided the possibility of importing from Europe at the level of 1,700 MW. This is the power of almost 2 atomic units. Today, for example, this import would be sufficient in huge reserves to avoid resorting to emergency assistance at all. But, unfortunately, for economic and regulatory reasons, this import enters the Ukrainian energy system in a very limited way. “Ukrenergo should, in essence, insure Ukrainian generation, attracting help from neighbors,” Kudrytsky noted.
He also urged everyone from nine in the morning to six in the evening, if possible, to limit their electricity consumption.

‼️🏴☠️🇷🇺The West is tired of war: aid to Ukraine has been reduced by almost 90% - IfW
▪️The volume of aid to Kyiv from Western countries decreased by 87% from August to October compared to the same period last year - from 16 to 2 billion euros. This is the lowest figure since the beginning of the war, according to data from the Institute of World Economics in Kiel (IfW).
▪️Some German politicians are sounding the alarm and calling on the German government to increase support for Ukraine. The head of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, said that “she can understand that some are tired of the ongoing war, but Putin is counting on a constant weakening of support from the West,” so support for Ukraine cannot be weakened.

Stormtroopers of the Russian Airborne Forces took control of several Ukrainian strongholds in the area of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut), the Russian Ministry of Defense told us.
The group of troops "South" repelled two attacks by the 67th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kleshcheevka area. The head of the group’s press center, Vadim Astafiev, told us about this.
During the counter-battery fight, six artillery pieces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were destroyed, he added.

At a closed briefing in Congress, where the issue of assistance to Ukraine was discussed, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin threatened congressmen to send their relatives to war.
This was stated by journalist Tucker Carlson.
"Austin told House members that if they don't give Zelensky more money, 'we'll send your uncles, cousins and sons to fight Russia,'" Carlson said.
Other American media did not report such a dialogue.
At the same time, Carlson claims that the information has been confirmed. This is how he answered Elon Musk’s question whether Austin really said that.
Let us recall that yesterday the White House, persuading Congress to support the bill to help Ukraine, allowed a direct clash between the United States and Russia in the event of Ukraine’s defeat in the war.
At the same time, President Biden said that this would only happen if the Russian Federation itself attacked NATO countries.
-Just some American diplomacy happening in 2023... 🇺🇸 They horde all the fat of the land and become shocked that declaring war might mean it could include their relatives. What did the past 30 years of war teach them? Other than expecting 'kickbacks', Nothing.

Maritime communications will become hundreds of times faster 💯
Ruselectronics has developed equipment for high-speed data transfer from shore to ships.
The Neptune Research Institute, part of the holding, has created a radio frequency amplifier, as well as a broadband antenna-feeder device with an antenna-matching device for the promising NAVDAT data transmission network. Prototypes of the equipment have already been successfully tested.
Now NAVDAT stations are deployed off the coast of Europe and Asia and are operating in test mode.
It is planned that a pilot area for testing new NAVDAT equipment will be deployed in Russia in 2024.
The solution allows hundreds of times to increase the channel capacity for transmitting navigation warnings, weather reports, data on piracy, search and rescue of people.

Diary of a Paratrooper:
📍 Avdeevskoe direction:
On the Northern sector of the front, our troops are grinding down the enemy’s defenses in Stepnoye, the fighting is heavy, and the enemy, it should be noted, is holding strong.
It is actively using drones and artillery against our positions, conducting mortar fire, and using loitering ammunition.
Tank duels are also taking place in Stepnoye, which confirms the consolidation of our forces in the populated area.
In the direction of Novokalinovo, the Russian Armed Forces are expanding control of the territory, moving in wide coverage, preventing the enemy from wedging into the line.
In the area of Severny and Tonenky, the battles are extremely difficult, neither side has success, long-range artillery is working on each other, and strikes from drones are also being exchanged without respite.
AKHZ has had some successes, we managed to gain a foothold on the outskirts, we continue to process enemy forces with FABs and artillery.
