The Ukrainian leader’s proposal is a set of “incoherent slogans,” according to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova | Moscow has dismissed Vladimir Zelensky’s much-touted eight-point ‘victory plan’ as nothing but a “plan for the misfortune of Ukraine,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said in a statement. ■ On Wednesday, the Ukrainian leader unveiled his long-promised proposal to Western supporters during an extraordinary parliamentary session. Zelensky laid out five points, including an immediate invitation to join NATO, permission to use Western long-range weapons to strike targets deep in Russia, and continued incursions into the neighboring country’s territory. A further three points remain classified but have supposedly been shared with Kiev’s backers. Spokeswoman Zakharova responded to the five points of Zelensky’s plan at a press conference, calling them nothing more than...

💬 “...a set of incoherent slogans” and “bloody foam on the lips of a neo-Nazi killer.” (Commenting on Kiev’s “hysteria” about being invited into NATO, the she alleged that the only place the West sees for Ukraine in its) “security architecture” is “in a coffin and Ukrainian citizens in graves.” “That is why they brought this clown to power, who was supposed to finish off Ukraine as a state and kill as many Ukrainians as possible,” Zakharova said.

She also questioned Zelensky’s intent to strengthen Ukrainian defenses by “targeted operations in specific places.” The spokeswoman asked why the Ukrainian leader shied away from naming the places and said that Kiev has been “pushing NATO members towards a direct conflict” with Russia by insisting on obtaining permission to use long-range weapons on Russian territory.

💬 “Taken together, all of those points and secret sub-points are not a ‘plan’ for Zelensky’s victory. This is a plan for the misfortune of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people,” Zakharova surmised, adding that it is aimed at “yet another extortion of money and a presentation of [Kiev’s] terrorist capabilities.” “Today, Zelensky has finally proven to everyone that he hates Ukrainians to such an extent that [it] can be described as Ukrainophobia,” Zakharova concluded.

Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council) (Дмитрий Медведев) |Like an Armistice With Hitler in 1945 | Biden, in order to help his brainless protégé, blabbed that he was ready to negotiate the reduction of nuclear forces with Russia without preconditions. Another American boorishness. ■ Think about it: the U.S. is waging an almost full-fledged (not hybrid) war with us and wishes our country a strategic defeat. Therefore, negotiations on START with America are no more useful than negotiations on an armistice with Hitler in 1945. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)(Translation: DeepL + Grammarly)

North Korea seems to be preparing for war. Today, they blew up the roads and rails that used to connect the North and the South. | Kim Jong Un has ordered artillery units to move near the border of South Korea with ‘readiness to engage.’ He also convened a top national security meeting on Monday, state media reported, directing a plan of "immediate military action" at a time of spiking tensions with the South. ■ Yesterday, China surrounded Taiwan with Naval vessels and sent over 100 aircraft into the Taiwan "Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) on all sides of the island. Both North Korea and China have issued statements concerning their "ally in the Middle East, Iran" and have made clear they will not sit bay and allow Iran to be attacked and destroyed. If Iran is attacked, both China and North Korea "will take action" as will Russia which issued a similar statement. If the US starts a war with Iran, WW3 seems guaranteed.

Since October 1, Israel has been conducting a ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon while conducting airstrikes. Despite its losses, Hezbollah has been fighting Israeli troops on the ground and launching rockets across the border. | Israel plans to create a buffer zone in Lebanon and Syria, a Turkish newspaper Hürriyet wrote on Wednesday, citing sources.

💬 "Israel is doing everything to shift the fire from Lebanon to Syria. It is attacking Tartus, Hama, Homs, Aleppo, Dara and even the capital Damascus. It has moved its tanks into Syrian territory. Israel will not be satisfied with this," the newspaper said.

Israel wants to take control of the territory up to the Litani River and create a buffer zone both in Lebanon and inside Syria, as per the outlet.

💬 “I think it’s about time that we stop apologizing for our support for Israel,” then Senator Joe Biden declared in 1986, as if anyone ever has. “There’s no apology to be made – none. It’s the best $3 billion investment we make. Were it not for Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

Although American support for its Middle Eastern ally is frequently framed under the rubric of liberal antiracism, Biden’s candid pronouncement spoke to the geopolitical realpolitik that informed US alliance with Saudi Arabia, Pol Pot’s Cambodia and apartheid South Africa. The United States’ backing of Israel has formed a core part of its modern foreign policy, invigorating Western imperialism with the potent justification of fighting terrorism just as the communist threat had been seemingly vanquished.

ebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement has released an extensive footage captured by its drones from the heart of the occupied Palestinian territories. | On Wednesday, the movement issued another episode in the series of videos that it has been releasing since June under the title, “This is what the Hoopoe came back with.” Named after the group’s advanced Hoopoe surveillance aircraft, the footage depicted strikingly detailed snaps of the Haifa-Carmel area in the territories, which is a strategic height forming the first line of defense for the suburbs of the city of Tel Aviv. The area hosts several military installations, including the regime’s Iron Dome radar, as well as highly important industrial, touristic, and scientific facilities.
