Trump calls for immediate Ukraine ceasefire, Kyiv and Moscow cite conditions​

PARIS (Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump called on Sunday for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to end "the madness", prompting Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskiy and the Kremlin to list their conditions.

Trump made his comments just hours after meeting Zelenskiy in Paris for their first face-to-face talks since Trump won last month's U.S. election. Trump has vowed to bring about a negotiated end to the conflict, but so far has not provided details.

Ukraine's secret testing site where veterans learn to build and fly drones​

Dec 10, 2024 #bfbsforcesnews #forcesnews #ukraine

BFBS Forces News' Ukraine correspondent Simon Newton reports from a secret testing site outside Kyiv.
"This isn't even properly cold," Liza Bondarenko tells me, as we stand shivering in a field somewhere outside Kyiv.
In a past life, she and her husband had both worked in IT. "We were Dinkies," she says with a laugh, referring to the acronym for 'double income no kids'.

I cannot comment on the veracity of this article, but I think it's worth a read.

Politico ran the headline, “Ukraine Peace Plans Galore.”

Ukraine, Russia, and China each have a peace plan. Trump is developing one. The Alliance of Democracies has one. It looks a lot like Ukraine’s plan at first glance.

There’s talk of a Demilitarized Zone between Ukraine and Russia. There’s also the suggestion of imposing a frozen conflict. They seem like an open invitation for continued stress between the countries, not real peace.

More:

How about we tell the Russians we admit we overruled the elections (some of us are REALLY good at that) and got the conflict escalated.

BUT!! We are going to amend previous crap by ceasing all military supply to Ukraine, and recover the forbidden cluster bombs back, pack up and go home.

And Vlad and Don are gonna have a party in the Oval Office.

It would be great to announce a peace plan in Ukraine. Just think of how much money that country will suck up in the rebuilding.

A big feather in Trump's hat would be to have North and South Korea sign a peace agreement too.

Liberation of Kurakhovo, DPR: Some children have been hidden in basements for months, says an ex-employee of the Kiev-controlled city administration

According to her, the Ukrainian authorities were forcibly evacuating children hidden by their parents. The police would find them and take them away.

🗣 "A lot of people were forcibly removed," she added.

On the illegitimate nature of the Kiev regime

I want to emphasise once again: we are not at war with the Ukrainian people, but with the regime, the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev that seized power back in 2014. This is how they came to power: it was a coup.

All the troubles faced by both Ukraine and Russia began after that bloody, anticonstitutional coup. This remains relevant today because those currently in power commit crimes every day, both against their own people and ours. In fact, the regime has lost all attributes of statehood, or is clearly in the process of losing them.

What do we mean when we speak of its illegitimate nature? Did they hold an election? No, they did not. Does their Constitution allow for the President’s term to be extended? No, it does not. The Constitution only permits the extension of the the representative body’s term, meaning the Rada, and that is all. Citing martial law as justification holds no weight: the Constitution provides no mechanism for extending the President’s mandate.

And where is the Supreme Court? Where is the Constitutional Court? These are legitimate questions. The Chairman of the Supreme Court is in prison: something that is conveniently ignored, left unsaid. But the fact remains: he has been thrown behind bars.

BREAKING: Bomb KILLS Russian general in Moscow | LiveNOW from FOX​

Dec 17, 2024

A senior Russian general was killed Tuesday by a bomb hidden in a scooter outside his apartment building in Moscow, a day after Ukraine’s security service leveled criminal charges against him. A Ukrainian official said the service carried out the attack. Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the chief of the military’s nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces, was killed as he left for his office. Kirillov’s assistant also died in the attack. Kirillov, 54, was under sanctions from several countries, including the U.K. and Canada, for his actions in Moscow’s war in Ukraine. On Monday, Ukraine’s Security Service, or SBU, opened a criminal investigation against him, accusing him of directing the use of banned chemical weapons.

That statement is perfectly true.

If this was a year or so ago.

Sadly, like my old chainsaw -- it is no longer operable.
