"The combination of open intimidation along with arbitrary arrests and overwhelming fines has created a pervasive climate of fear around participation in peaceful assemblies."

- Human Rights Watch:

In negotiations with Russia, if you're not at the table, you're on the menu.

Day 370 of #GeorgiaProtests - with protester's thanks to the BBC reporting on the regime's use of a WWI-era chemical agents against protesters:

Zelenskyy: Ukraine can’t accept a ceasefire that leaves Russia free to strike again On a visit to Ireland, the Ukrainian president says U.S. diplomacy in Moscow needs to include binding security commitments that make a renewed Russian assault impossible.

"We have to stop the war in such a manner that in one year Russia would not come back with a third invasion."

- Zelenskyy.

"Speaking at a press conference, Zelensky acknowledged that territory remains the "most difficult" issue, but noted that the revised peace plan already "looks better."

"And when it comes to security guarantees — we need clear specifics from the U.S. and Europe," the president said."

Det er desværre en tendens, som er blevet værre blandt danske medier, myndigheder og beslutningstagere siden 2022. Uforståeligt, men konstaterbart.

Endnu et opløftende budskab fra russisk aftenkaffe-tv:

Der er god grund til at se dagens Deadline om Ukraine. Men det er ikke for retskrivningen.

Vi nærmer os firårsdagen for den russiske invasion. Alligevel er det åbenbart svært at lære at stave til "Kyiv" - og lettere at fortsætte med at anvende aggressorens sprog.

Jeg forstår det ikke.

Det er måske liiiiige en redaktionel stramning at trække på Game of Thrones-referencer, fordi UM foranstalter en vagtordning:

"The Danish government has set up a “night watch” in the foreign ministry, not to keep out the wildlings and White Walkers like the Night’s Watch of Game of Thrones."

:-)

Formentlig i omvendt rækkefølge ift. T. Vi er ikke uenige om grundproblemet, som netop også udpegede W. Men det er da relevant med W's prorussiske linje.

"Egentlig har det længe været tydeligt, at Witkoff i hvert fald indirekte tjener Ruslands interesser. For han har overtaget og spredt stort set samtlige falske narrativer om »den russisk-ukrainske konflikt«, som han i lighed med Kreml har omtalt Ukrainekrigen."

- Kazankov i WA:

Den hjemlige interesse i rusland for at melde sig til krigen i Ukraine er åbenbart ikke større, end at der er massivt behov for eksterne rekrutteringskampagner - så andre kan dø for Moderlandet:

Thank you so much for your excellent work providing the rest of us with your insights. And thank you for #ReadingRussia!

Diskussionen om, hvorvidt RUS-US-kapitulationsplan er skrevet af russerne alene eller i samarbejde med US, er i mine øjne irrelevant, så længe aftalen er blevet til med/under Witkoffs engagement, og Washington ikke tager afstand fra den. Til gengæld fortsætter trump med at tage afstand fra Ukraine.

"Do not give one inch in negotiations, because there will always be people in the West who will offer you something. And in the end, you will have one third or even one half
of something you didn't have before."

- Kaja Kallas on russian tactics of negotiation:

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize:

The Neville Chamberlain award for betraying peace, freedom, and justice.

Good plan.

Trump’s peace plan is pushing Ukraine to the brink, Zelenskyy says The disputed 28-point proposal has put Kyiv on the verge of a “very difficult choice” as a brutal winter looms, according to the Ukrainian president.

“Now the pressure on Ukraine is one of the most difficult. Now Ukraine may find itself facing a very difficult choice. Either loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner.” - Zelenskyy.

Enig.

"Flere og flere internetbrugere vender sig mod AI-chatbots for at få verificeret billeder i realtid. Men de automatiske værktøjer fejler ofte, og i en tid hvor techgiganter skærer ned på menneskelige faktatjekkere, stiller det spørgsmål ved deres evne til at debunke billeder."

"[The 28-point proposal] was reportedly drawn up by Russian and US officials, with support from Donald Trump. Kyiv was not consulted. One European diplomat said they only learned of the plan when they turned on the news."

В Петербурге напали на посла Польши — Meduza Посол Польши в России Кшиштоф Краевский подвергся нападению в Петербурге, сообщает телеканал TVP Info.

Den polske ambassadør i Rusland blev ifølge denne artikel angrebet på åben gade i Skt. Petersborg i søndags. @meduza.io skriver, at hændelsen fandt sted på byens hovedgade, hvor ambassadøren blev angrebet af "aktivister", der råbte anti-polske og anti-ukrainske slagord:

Kaja Kallas i pressemøde d.d.:

Rosenbergs daglige læsning af RUS aviser: Om en russiskvenlig US-RUS plan for Ukraine om de facto-overgivelse - og om en RUS økonomi i problemer.

Som altid med anbefaling:

Ja, det tænker jeg også. Det er så langt væk fra vinduet, at det er absurd. Det ville være rart med nogle voksne europæere, der gjorde det klart. Både mod øst og vest.

Kremls overgivelsesplan, som ved Washingtons mellemkomst er præsenteret for Kyiv.

"The plan was reportedly drafted by a group of current and former American and Russian officials and remains at the conceptual level."

Vel ikke længere overraskende, men jo helt og aldeles grotesk i indhold:

Russian missile strikes Kharkiv Oblast, killing teenage girl, injuring 9 A seventeen-year-old girl was killed and nine others were injured in an overnight Russian missile attack on the city of Berestyn in Kharkiv Oblast on Nov. 18, regional authorities said.

YouTube video by Steve Rosenberg Do Russians want a leader with a 'strong hand'? Interesting editorial in a Russian paper.

Interesting editorial in one of today’s Russian papers. It states that in a political system like Russia's “politicians who find themselves in power get used to having more and more powers [and] have no external incentive to change.” #ReadingRussia

Virkeligt værd at se!
