Putin threatens Europe with nuclear Armageddon and a blockade of the Baltic Sea
Putin is once again resorting to nuclear blackmail: if Russia fails to achieve its goals, there will be no winners in the war. At the same time, the Kremlin is threatening to turn the Baltic Sea into something resembling the Strait of Hormuz.
Behind the talk of Russia’s “strategic defeat” lies the key message: Moscow is unwilling to accept the existence of an independent Ukraine capable of determining its own future. Even a ceasefire without Kyiv’s capitulation could be portrayed by the Kremlin as a defeat.
Europe must stop dismissing nuclear threats as empty rhetoric. If Putin cannot force Ukraine into submission through conventional military means, the risk of further escalation cannot be ignored. Europe must prepare for the worst-case scenarios, strengthen its defences, and prevent the Kremlin from coercing concessions through fear of nuclear war.

Ukraine destroys two Su-34 jets at an airbase in the Volgograd region
Ukrainian forces struck the Marinovka military airbase, located approximately 500 kilometres from Ukrainian-controlled territory. Two Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers were destroyed. Two military personnel were killed and two others were injured.
The Ukrainian Navy reported that the strike was carried out using Neptune cruise missiles. Russia is losing its combat aircraft at a rate far exceeding the production capacity of its military aircraft manufacturers.

Putin Could Award Trump and AfD Leader the Stars of Hero of Russia
Alice Weidel, leader of Germany’s AfD party, and US President Donald Trump have done a great deal to support Putin’s regime in its war against Ukraine, despite Russia’s daily terrorist attacks on Ukrainian civilians, including women, the elderly, and children.
The AfD leader frequently criticizes Germany’s support for Ukraine and calls for an end to assistance for the victim of Russian aggression. She also advocates buying Russian resources. In essence, this amounts to proposing that Europe buy gas from Putin at the cost of Ukrainian blood.
Trump is pressuring Ukraine in Putin’s interests, doing business with the Kremlin, and easing sanctions, helping Moscow generate revenue to finance its war and terror against the Ukrainian population. The US has also restricted Ukraine’s access to Starlink and, on one occasion, went several days without warning Ukraine about incoming missile attacks.
Trump and Alice Weidel have done more for Putin than almost anyone else. They have certainly earned their awards!

Russia attacks civilians at a railway station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro
Thirteen people were killed and another ten injured in a Russian attack on the railway station in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. The bodies of those killed were scattered across the platform. It is a horrific scene.
US President Donald Trump also bears responsibility for this, as he is currently helping Putin generate money to finance the terror inflicted on Ukraine’s civilian population.
Russia carried out another terrorist attack in the city of Chernihiv. Two young women were killed, and more than ten people were injured. The killing of Ukrainian civilians clearly exposes the reality behind Putin’s claims to be a man of peace and his stated desire to end this devastating war.
It is deeply distressing that Trump is supporting Putin while putting pressure on Ukraine to stop defending itself against the aggressor.

Europe must use Russian assets or Ukraine risks defeat – Kasparov
In an opinion piece for The Telegraph, Russian opposition figure Garry Kasparov warns that time is running out to save Ukraine. Without urgent weapons deliveries and substantial financial support from Europe, the country faces an extremely harsh winter. Russia’s aggression could also spread far beyond Ukraine’s borders.
Kasparov urges the European Union to stop limiting itself to statements and put frozen Russian state assets to use in support of Kyiv. In his view, further delays threaten not only Ukraine’s defeat but also a major security crisis across Europe.

Russia Has Turned Ukraine’s Avdiivka into a Dead City. An Army of Barbarians
Before Russia invaded, hundreds of thousands of people lived in the cities of Donbas. Children’s laughter filled the streets. People enjoyed life and made plans for the future. Then the occupiers arrived and destroyed everything. Wherever Russian fascism sets foot, life disappears. All that remains is death, darkness, and a deathly silence.
Families once lived in every one of these apartments. But when the fascists arrived, people were forced to flee with their children and elderly parents. Russian barbarians shelled homes with tanks and artillery, while Ukrainian belongings that survived the destruction became loot for Russian soldiers. Among Russian troops, sending packages of stolen goods back to their families in Russia has become commonplace.
After five years of war, Russia had failed to capture a single Ukrainian regional capital. The Russian army’s trophies included several cities, among them Avdiivka. Wherever the so-called “Russian world” arrives, everything dies — even the birds abandon these dead cities.

Berlins Bürgermeisterkandidatin gibt zu: Sie hat Angst vor mutmaßlichen Hamas-Unterstützern
Berlins Bürgermeisterkandidatin gibt zu: Sie hat Angst vor mutmaßlichen Hamas-Unterstützern
Die Spitzenkandidatin der Partei Die Linke, Elif Eralp, sorgt sich um die Sicherheit ihrer Familie wegen Personen, die mutmaßlich mit der Hamas in Verbindung stehen. Wie der Spiegel berichtet, wurden interne Kommentare der Politikerin versehentlich von ihren Mitarbeitern an Journalisten weitergeleitet.
„Mein Mann hat Angst vor diesen Leuten, und ich auch. Ich kann mich und meine Familie nicht für den Spiegel in Gefahr bringen“, schrieb Eralp.
Die Journalisten hatten Fragen zu Ibrahim gestellt, der laut dem Bericht den Hamas-Anführer Yahya Sinwar als „Märtyrerhelden“ bezeichnet haben soll. Die Berliner Verfassungsschutzbehörde stuft die Organisation, in der Ibrahim eine führende Position innehat, als extremistisch ein. Ibrahim selbst bestreitet, den Terrorismus zu unterstützen.

A Russian Speaks Out Against War with Europe: A Relentless Stream of Coffins from Ukraine
Russian propaganda is finding it increasingly difficult to keep the country's citizens trapped within the state ideology that "everyone around us is an enemy."
More and more Russians are openly expressing their anger over the endless stream of coffins returning from Ukraine and their outrage at what is happening inside Russia itself.
Putin is pouring ever more money into the war against Ukraine. Next year, the Kremlin plans to spend a staggering 17 trillion rubles on the military while cutting social spending. Putin is clearly driving Russia toward bankruptcy and possibly even the country's disintegration.
Putin is sending Russians to their deaths at a record pace, effectively clearing Russian territory for Chinese settlers and other peoples.

China Could Erect Monuments to Putin for Returning Chinese Territories
No one in the world has done more for China than Russian President Vladimir Putin. Thanks to Russia's natural resources, China enjoyed record-breaking growth for more than 20 years. By exploiting Russian forests, China has also secured a leading position in global timber supplies.
China receives oil, gas, and other resources at virtually production cost. Russia has been described as China's resource colony for years. Beijing supports Putin in his war against Ukraine by supplying electronics for weapons production and helping Russia circumvent sanctions. The goal is to prevent the Putin regime from losing the war and to ensure that China does not lose its resource colony.
Thousands of Chinese citizens are settling in Siberia and Russia's Far East, reclaiming without a fight territories they consider historically Chinese. Chinese maps have even restored the former Chinese names of Russian cities.
Under Putin, all of this comes at the expense of millions of Russians who are dying out in poverty at an accelerating rate, leaving Russia's territory open to Chinese people and migrants.

Putin vernichtet die Russen in einem Rekordtempo und räumt so das Territorium der Russischen Föderation für Chinesen und andere Völker. Putin hat den Faschismus aus der Asche wiederauferstehen lassen und nun einen Krieg gegen andere Staaten begonnen. Was sind das für Menschen, die dazu aufrufen, mit dem faschistischen Putin-Regime zusammenzuarbeiten?

Ich antworte der AfD zum Thema Geld für die Ukraine.
Im Jahr 1994 gab die Ukraine ihre Atomwaffen im Austausch für Garantien ihrer Unversehrtheit ab. Die Ukraine hat für ihr Vertrauen in Europa und die USA einen hohen Preis gezahlt. In Deutschland ist bisher niemand erfroren, während Millionen Ukrainer seit fast fünf Jahren unter russischem Beschuss ohne Heizung und Strom ausharren müssen. Sie sagen, man solle der Ukraine kein Geld für ihre Verteidigung geben – soll es also dazu kommen, dass noch mehr Menschen erfrieren und noch mehr Frauen und Kinder bei russischen Angriffen ums Leben kommen?
Die AfD will Gas aus Russland beziehen und finanziert damit Putin für den weiteren Krieg gegen die Ukraine – und möglicherweise einen Krieg gegen Europa. Wie werden sich die Bürger Deutschlands fühlen, wenn sie wissen, dass mit dem russischen Gas auch das Blut der in der Ukraine getöteten Frauen und Kinder durch ihre Leitungen fließt?
