Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:58 Speaker of the Odesa OVA Serhiy Bratchuk specified that it would take 2-3 months for the full restoration of high-voltage networks and related technical equipment. He also stressed that no representative of the authorities in the region made any calls for the evacuation of the inhabitants of Odessa and the region.

23:19 Ukrenergo announced that it will soon be able to purchase some of the critically needed equipment for the restoration of the network infrastructure - this became possible thanks to the government's decision to provide a state guarantee on an EBRD loan in the amount of 300 million euros, which will be supplemented by a grant from the Dutch government. In the near future, a guarantee agreement will be signed between Ukraine and the EBRD, as well as a loan agreement between Ukrenergo and the EBRD. In addition, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the provision of a state guarantee for a KfW loan in the amount of 32.5 million euros to finance the reconstruction of eight substations in the southwestern region.

23:15 Ukraine will celebrate International Human Rights Day, Zelensky said: "Until this year, Ukraine did not have a national day of gratitude and respect for the human rights movement - all those who devote their lives to protecting and restoring people's rights. Now such a day has been established and will be celebrated December 10th is Human Rights Day every year.

Only critical infrastructure is connected - and as far as it is possible to supply electricity, Zelensky said in an evening video message.

“In general, both emergency and stabilization shutdowns continue in different regions. The power system is now, to put it mildly, very far from normal: a significant deficit remains. That is why there are shutdown schedules. , Zakarpattia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytsky regions and Kiev. We must understand that even if there are no massive missile strikes, this does not mean that there are no problems," the president stressed.

22:44 Belarus' proposal to transport Ukrainian grain to Lithuania is nothing but a trap: it is an attempt to avoid sanctions for helping Russia in its military aggression against Ukraine, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said.

22:15 Odesa OVA warned that it would take much more time to restore energy facilities in the region after the last shelling than in previous times: "We are not talking about days, but even weeks, and it is possible that 2-3 months."

22:03 Scholz said that he does not believe that Putin can concede in the war against Ukraine: "Every time I talk to Putin, he speaks very clearly, it is about winning something ... He just wants seize part of Ukrainian territory by force."

21:55 The "authorities" of the occupied Melitopol said that Ukrainian troops attacked the hotel complex, according to preliminary data, two people were killed, two more were injured. In turn, the mayor of the city, Ivan Fedorov, said that, according to preliminary information, the building of the Melitopol Christian Church, which the occupiers seized a few months ago and used for their meetings, was on fire. Earlier it was reported that more than ten loud explosions were heard throughout the city.

20:31 This year, the Kharkiv authorities refused to celebrate the New Year on Svoboda Square, but installed a Christmas tree at the Universitet metro station.

17:23 The SBU found on the territory of the Kharkiv diocese of the UOC (MP)
... Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate)...
libraries with pro-Kremlin literature, materials praising the Russian Federation and a large amount of cash in different currencies, including Russian rubles. In one of the churches, dry rations of Russian troops were even kept. A monk with a Russian passport was also exposed there.

16:47 The Council of the European Union announced that it has approved an aid package to Ukraine for next year in the amount of 18 billion euros - now the proposal will be submitted to the European Parliament for approval next week.

14:54 During the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the police recorded 47 thousand war crimes committed by the invaders. Among them - torture, rape, killings of civilians, the press service of the National Police reported.

13:37 In Ukraine, "ATM national roaming" has been launched: commissions for withdrawing cash from cards of other banks have been canceled, the NBU said. Ten largest banks have already joined the "roaming" network. In addition, this implies the establishment of uniform extended limits on cash withdrawals.

12:15 SBU exposed the deacon of the UOC (MP), who campaigned for the "joining" of the Zaporozhye region to the Russian Federation. In particular, the deacon of one of the churches of the Zaporozhye diocese, on his page on the banned social network VKontakte, reposted calls from pro-Kremlin bloggers in support of the fake plebiscite.

12:12 Banksy will sell 50 copies of his work to raise money to help Ukraine. "I made 50 of these prints, and all proceeds will go to our friends in Ukraine," the artist wrote on Instagram. Each of the 50 copies is signed and numbered. The price is £5,000.

12:07 150 citizens of Ukraine are now being held in the occupied Yelenovka, Donetsk region, Dmitry Lubinets, Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada, said in an interview with Radio Liberty: "We are not allowed there again. Apparently, we will get access to Yelenovka only after "Our Armed Forces of Ukraine will liberate Yelenovka. According to our information, 150 citizens of Ukraine are currently left there. These are not only the military."

The Ombudsman also said that Ukrainian prisoners are under pressure to refuse to return to Ukraine.

11:32 During the day, the Russians fired at the Kherson region 51 times - from mortars, MLRS and cannon artillery. Two people were killed, eight were injured, the OP reported.

11:03 The White House "has concerns" about the use of cluster shells, said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, commenting on the possibility of transferring them to Ukraine. Politico writes, citing sources, that the Biden administration is not actively considering Kyiv's request. The reason is the increased risk of these munitions to civilians. In addition, there are legal restrictions on Washington's ability to transfer cluster munitions. The US president or secretary of state can bypass them, "but high standards must be maintained," the newspaper notes.

10:56 As a result of a night attack by Iranian drones, several energy facilities in the Odessa region were destroyed, DTEK reported. As a result, a critical situation with electricity supply has developed in the region. In Odessa, all consumers were disconnected from the light, except for critical infrastructure. Emergency shutdowns are also continuing in the settlements of the region.

10:43 The SBU conducts searches at 14 facilities of the UOC (MP) in the Kharkiv region.

10:20 British intelligence expects an increase in military support for Russian troops from Iran in the coming months. In particular, Russia is trying to get more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles. Russia is likely to offer Iran an unprecedented level of military and technical support that will transform their defense relationship, experts say.

Intelligence notes that Russia has most likely used up a significant portion of its stockpile of Iskander short-range ballistic missiles, carrying a 500-kilogram warhead at ranges up to 500 km. And if Russia succeeds in obtaining a large number of Iranian ballistic missiles, it may use them to continue and expand its campaign of strikes against Ukraine's critical national infrastructure.

09:38 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of December 10th. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Bakhmut and Liman directions.

  • personnel - about 93,760 (+370) people liquidated,

  • tanks - 2940 (+3),

  • armored combat vehicles - 5917 (+5),

  • artillery systems - 1927 (+1),

  • MLRS - 397 (+2),

  • air defense systems - 211 (+0),

  • aircraft - 281 (+0),

  • helicopters - 264 (+0),

  • UAV operational-tactical level - 1603 (+0),

  • cruise missiles - 592 (+0),

  • ships/boats - 16 (+0),

  • automotive equipment and tankers - 4535 (+4),

  • special equipment - 167 (+3).

09:31 In the Donetsk region over the past day as a result of enemy shelling, four civilians were injured - two in Bakhmut, one each in Avdeevka and Konstantinovka, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko.

09:28 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that Putin is using talk of negotiations with Ukraine as a means to separate Kiev from Western supporters, portraying him as unwilling to compromise and even discuss possible conditions. Putin is also trying to use any negotiation window and ceasefire to give Russian troops time to recover and continue operations, thus depriving Ukraine of the initiative.

However, according to experts, an early ceasefire agreement that would allow Russian troops to rest and rearm this winter is extremely unlikely. Russia and Ukraine are extremely far from any such agreement.

09:22 The Russians fired at the Nikopol and Marganets communities of the Dnepropetrovsk region at night, four people were injured in Nikopol, the head of the OVA Valentin Reznichenko said.

09:13 As a result of a night attack by enemy kamikaze drones in the Odessa region, energy infrastructure facilities were significantly damaged, thousands of consumers were left without power supply, the Odessa City Council reported. There is no information about the wounded.

08:57 On the night of December 10, the Russians attacked the south of Ukraine with Iranian kamikaze drones Shahed-136/131. Pivden air command units shot down ten out of 15 enemy UAVs over the Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odessa regions, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.

08:34 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repulsed the attacks of Russian invaders in the areas of the settlements of Ploshchanka, Nevskoye, Belogorovka of the Luhansk region and Yakovlevka, Bakhmutskoye, Podgorodnoye, Bakhmut, Experienced, Kurdyumovka, Druzhba, Nevelskoye, Pobeda and Novomikhailovka of the Donetsk region, the General Staff reported in morning summary .

According to the General Staff, in addition to significant losses of Russian troops as a result of the actions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the enemy also suffers losses from the so-called "friendly fire". This is a consequence of the low training of tank and artillery crews, as well as the lack of interaction and communication between units.

07:39 Belarus will allow, without preconditions, the transit of Ukrainian grain through its territory for further export from the ports of Lithuania, UN Secretary General Stefan Dujarric said.

01:37 The Ukrainian military have come close to Kremennaya and are located a few kilometers from the city, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai: "I hope there will be news about the de-occupation of the region's settlements before the New Year." At the same time, he acknowledged that the de-occupation of the Lugansk region would be very difficult, because the Russians "were well prepared." According to Gaidai, the Russians deployed their last trained units near Svatovo and Kremennaya.

Gaidai is convinced that winter weather will contribute to the rapid movement of equipment at the front. He also mentioned the partisans in the Lugansk region, thanks to which "some bavovna" is happening.

01:24 The United States no longer insists that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not strike on Russian territory, as they are less afraid of escalation from Moscow, writes The Times, citing sources in the Pentagon. This represents a major development in the nine-month war, as Washington is now more likely to supply Kyiv with longer-range weapons.

00:15 The fighting in Ukraine could get out of control and turn into a war between Russia and NATO, Stoltenberg said in an interview with NRK: “If something goes wrong, it can lead to terrible consequences. This is a terrible war in Ukraine. It is also a war that could escalate into a full-scale war, which could escalate into a big war between NATO and Russia. We are working every day to avoid that."

Commentary by Turkish writer Yucel Ozdemir

[ColonelCassad] NATO wants to surround Russia from all sides, writes Evrensel. Therefore, the alliance is going to expand its geography through the entry of Sweden, Finland, as well as Georgia and the Balkan countries. Moldova, for example, is already considering joining NATO.

#1  Nice big lie story.
Putin has added Finland and Sweden to NATO, thereby placing NATO on his borders, by invading Ukraine. Genius move.
The invasion was precipitated by Russian nationalism which cannot tolerate Ukraine becoming permanently independent because Russia started in Ukraine, everything about Russia started in Ukraine and Ukraine wants nothing to do with these backwards ass boneheads.

Russia's language, their religion( although it's a facade) and the nation all came from Kyiv, Ukraine and Ukraine wants to be European and free not backwards ass slaves.

Putin on the course and timing of the SVO in Ukraine.
Direct Translation via Google Translate
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] 1. CBO is going on as usual, everything is stable, we have no questions or problems there. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation conducts transparent work in Ukraine.

2. All participants in the conflict will have to agree with the "situation on the ground." Will have to negotiate. By the duration of the process, Putin does not mean the course of the NWO as such, but the entire settlement process as a whole.

3. Merkel's statements about the Minsk agreements surprised Putin. It was unpleasant for him to hear this, according to him it is disappointing (apparently, the prospects for using Merkel as a negotiator can not be expected).
Olde Commie Frau Blucher Merkel is of no use any more
Merkel simply confirmed the obvious that Minsk-2 was used against Russia to arm Ukraine.

4. Russia should have launched an operation in Ukraine earlier, but counted on Minsk-2 (in fact, this is another recognition of the fallacy of the Minsk course, hello to the defenders who persisted in their delusion for 8 years).

5. Putin allowed the possibility of revising the provisions of the Russian nuclear doctrine in matters of preventive disarming strike, hinting at the possibility of hypersonic weapons, in which Russia surpasses the United States for several years. (Be sure to bang, but later)

https://t.me/boris_rozhin/72395 - zinc (broadcast of hostilities in Ukraine goes to Telegram - if you are interested, subscribe)

Also from statements on mobilization.

Putin on mobilization.

1. At the moment, there are no factors requiring a new wave of mobilization. So while the continuation of partial mobilization can not be expected (in the next month for sure)

2. Putin keeps the situation with the supply of the mobilized under control. The most pressing issues that were revealed during partial mobilization were removed.

PS. There are still complaints about the supply, but they really have become much less than in October or November. But as they say, there is room for improvement.

Australia imposes sanctions on Iran, Russia over human rights violations
[Shafaq News] Australia's foreign minister said on Saturday the government would place targeted sanctions on Russia and Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
in response to what it called "egregious" human rights
...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
violations.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a statement Australia was imposing Magnitsky-style sanctions on 13 individuals and two entities, including Iran’s Morality Police and Basij Resistance® Force, and six Iranians involved in the crackdown on protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in jug in September.

In an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald, Wong said the sanctions applied to Sadegh Hosseini, whom she described as a senior commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was being listed for his alleged role in "indiscriminate use of violence against protesters".

"The Iranian regime’s flagrant and widespread disregard for the human rights of its own people has appalled Australians, and the perpetrators must be held accountable," Wong wrote in the newspaper.

The Iranian foreign ministry rejected the move as interference in the Islamic Theocratic Republic's internal affairs and "incitement to violence", state media reported.

"Australia's new anti-Iran action comes after this country's government has systematically violated the basic rights of Australian aborigines, prisoners and asylum seekers for years and has sheltered elements of anti-Iranian terrorist and separatist groups," ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said.

Seven Russians involved in what Australia's Wong said was the attempted liquidation of former opposition leader Alexei Navalny would also have human rights sanctions imposed on them, according to the statement.

In addition to human rights sanctions, Wong said Australia was placing further targeted financial sanctions on three Iranians and one Iranian business for supplying drones to Russia for use against Ukraine.

The announcement comes after Australia's centre-left Labour government in October imposed targeted financial sanctions and travel bans on 28 Russian-appointed separatists, ministers and bigwigs after President Vladimir Putin
...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...
proclaimed the annexation of four regions of Ukraine.

Since the start of the conflict, Australia has sanctioned hundreds of Russian individuals and entities, including most of Russia's banking sector and all organizations responsible for the country's sovereign debt.

It also has supplied defence equipment and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, while outlawing exports of alumina and aluminium ores, including bauxite, to Russia.

Australia's previous Liberal-National coalition government first imposed Magnitsky-style sanctions - measures that impose financial penalties and travel bans against individuals - in March against 14 Russians.
