[Korrespondent] 21:54 The UN is discussing a draft resolution on the establishment of an international tribunal over the leadership of the Russian Federation, writes The Guardian. According to the publication, there are signs that US opposition to the proposal may soften in the face of lobbying from President Zelenskiy.
21:52 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the winter will be very difficult: "The enemy really hopes to use the winter against us - to make the winter cold and difficulties part of their terror. We must do everything to survive this winter, no matter how hard it is ".
21:35 In the Kherson region, a woman was killed by machine gun fire, who, together with her husband, crossed the Dnieper on a boat, leaving the dacha, the city council said.

20:54 The Foreign Ministers of Estonia, Lithuania and Poland in a joint statement urged the EU to adopt a new package of sanctions against the Russian Federation as soon as possible: "Restricting oil prices is only part of our response to Russian aggression against Ukraine. We must continue to support Ukraine, depriving Russia of the ability to finance war, which involves the use of frozen Russian assets and the imposition of effective sanctions."

On the second place - "Russia" (3300 references), on the third - "Russian". Biden was in fourth place, in fifth - a pandemic, in sixth - COVID-19.
17:04 Mobilized Russians and Wagnerites do not have the skills to fight in the winter, said a representative of the eastern group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Cherevaty: "Personnel coming on mobilization or to the Wagner PMC from places of punishment are not prepared for combat operations, including in winter, requiring certain additional knowledge and skills.
According to him, instead of the equipment destroyed by the Ukrainian military, the aggressor seizes equipment from long-term storage warehouses: "This equipment is not always prepared for operation, especially in winter, and this worsens their logistics and slows down preparations for hostilities."
15:49 The Russians are now trying to surround Bakhmut after they were unable to take him head-on, Sergei Cherevaty, spokesman for the operational command of Skhid, said. According to him, the situation is under control, although difficult: "Over the past 24 hours, a serious "hello" was sent from our artillery, including the latest high-precision systems, in order to somewhat cool their ardor towards the encirclement of our units."
Cherevaty noted that the enemy was changing tactics, trying to operate in small groups. First of all, this concerns the Wagnerites - in this way they seek to penetrate the Ukrainian trenches.

15:10 Russia is preparing a new massive missile attack on the infrastructure of Ukraine, this can happen any day, Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of OK Pivden, said: "It is likely that they are preparing, and it is likely that they are waiting.

He explained that these UAVs are made of plastic and other materials that do not withstand frost, so the rate of use has decreased somewhat.
13:14 In recent days, a group of volunteers from Georgia has been encircled near Bakhmut, as a result, a Georgian commander was wounded, five fighters were killed, volunteer Romeo Parulava said. The dead have served in the 57th brigade since March 2022, they arrived from Georgia to Ukraine.
12:56 Danilov said that a denuclearized and demilitarized Russia is the best guarantee of peace for Europe and the world: “Do they want to provide security guarantees to a terrorist and murderer country? Instead of Nuremberg, signing an agreement with the Russian Federation and a handshake? Ukrainian blood on Putin’s hands will not interfere with business as usual? The amazing logic of undercover diplomacy, whose time is over. The question is to guarantee the security of the world from the so-called Russia, and not vice versa. The experience of Budapest will be useful to you. When you are unarmed, you do not pose a threat. We, unfortunately, know. Denuclearized and demilitarized so-called Russia is the best guarantee of peace for Europe and the world. PS The only guarantee is the humanism of the European judicial system, after the verdict in The Hague there is no death penalty."

10:39 A poll by the Levada Center, meanwhile, showed that the majority of Russians still support the "special operation": 42% definitely support it, 32% rather support it.
09:51 British intelligence notes that in Russia there is a significant decrease in support for the "special military operation" among the population. Intelligence refers to the results of closed opinion polls published by the Russian publication Meduza, according to which 55% of Russians are in favor of peace negotiations with Ukraine and only 25% support the continuation of the conflict.
The data is in line with a similar independent poll in October, in which 57% of respondents in Russia were in favor of negotiations. At the same time, in April 2022, about 80% of Russians claimed to support the war in Ukraine. Analysts say the conflict has become increasingly tangible for many Russians since partial mobilization began. And with Russia unlikely to make significant gains on the battlefield in the next few months, the Kremlin is likely to find it increasingly difficult to maintain even a tacit approval of the war among the population, intelligence said.
09:34 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that due to the cooling and freezing of the earth, weather conditions will arise in eastern Ukraine in the near future, which will contribute to a higher pace of hostilities.
09:22 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, one civilian died - in Predtechino. Five more people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
09:10 Russian troops in Ukraine are spending ammunition faster than the defense industry has time to produce them, said Avril Haynes, Director of US National Intelligence. According to her, this will create a serious challenge for Russia, since they are no longer able to independently produce what they spend at this stage.
09:06 Russian media write with reference to "sources" that Kiev "under the control of British intelligence and with the help of the Canadian PMC GardaWorld" is allegedly preparing a provocation to disrupt the UN initiative to resume the transit of ammonia through the Togliatti-Odessa pipeline. To do this, at the Odessa port plant, Kyiv allegedly intends to blow up the roofs of ammonia storage facilities and workshops and frame it as a missile attack by the RF Armed Forces.
08:34 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled attacks by invaders in the areas of the settlements of Ploshchanka and Belogorivka in the Lugansk region and Berestovo, Belogorivka, Yakovlevka, Soledar, Bakhmutskoe, Bakhmut, Experienced, Kleschievka, Andreevka, Kurdyumovka, Vodiane and Novomikhailovka of the Donetsk region, reported General Staff in the morning summary .
From the local shops of Nova Kakhovka, Russians take out all the goods and equipment, including freezers and cash registers. And in Novonikolaevka, Zaporozhye region, on December 2, occupiers numbering up to 100 people organized a check of documents of local residents, seizing personal valuables and household appliances. In addition, in the settlements of the temporarily occupied Kherson region, Russians threaten to deprive them of parental rights and force the local population to send their children to educational institutions to study under the Russian program.
05:46 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that Shoigu traveled to Minsk to put pressure on Belarus to support Russia's war against Ukraine.
04:28 Putin did not expect that the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine would face failure, and this "discovery" could affect his goals in the war, says Avril Haynes, Director of National Intelligence of the United States. At the same time, she stressed that the head of the Kremlin does not intend to abandon long-term plans for Ukraine, but may want to reduce short-term military goals in order to return to his plans after some time.
According to Haynes, Russia "quickly" used up its military reserves: "I do think that he is becoming more aware of the problems that the military is facing in Russia. But it is still not clear to us whether he has a complete picture of the problems at this stage "We see shortages of ammunition, morale, supply issues, logistics."
02:00 Washington will try to disrupt the supply of weapons from Iran to Russia, said US Special Ambassador for Iran Robert Malley. According to him, if Iran transfers missiles to the Russian Federation or helps build military production facilities, it will "cross a new line."
01:17 Russia with deliberate cruelty aims at the civilian population of Ukraine and infrastructure, said the head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin: "Russia with deliberate cruelty puts the civilian population and civilian infrastructure at the sight of its guns. Russian troops killed thousands of Ukrainian citizens. Russian attacks led to the death of children destroying schools and sacking hospitals." According to him, the neighboring countries of the Russian Federation look at such imperial aggression with growing anxiety. The Minister said that the conflict in Ukraine provided an opportunity for all countries to see a tyrannical and deadly war that no one would like to experience.
00:49 The Spanish police found out that six letters with explosives were sent from the northern city of Valladolid, writes El Mundo. Agents have yet to identify the sender, and newspaper sources say it will be difficult to do so as the letters were placed in regular mailboxes without security cameras. According to the National Court, which is investigating the case, the authorship of all letters with bombs "has the same origin."

[IsraelTimes] Israeli, Russian officials reportedly in talks on issue in recent days; Moscow, Jerusalem have long acted in concert to prevent festivities in Syrian airspace
Russia has reportedly requested that Israel not intervene or impede its efforts to transfer defense equipment from Syria to Ukraine.
The Kan public broadcaster, citing an Israeli official involved in the issue, reported Sunday that Israeli and Russian officials have been holding conversations in recent days over the Kremlin’s concern.
The Russian embassy did not respond to the network’s request for comment.
While Israel and Russia have long coordinated their activities in Syrian airspace in order to avoid any festivities, ties have been strained since Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year.
Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria aimed at preventing Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... from establishing a military foothold there, and to stop its supply of advanced weapons to Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... ’s Hezbollah terror group, an Iranian proxy.
Russia, meanwhile, has provided thousands of troops and military hardware to its ally Syria, as the regime battles to suppress a grinding civil war.
In October, The New York Times
... which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported that Russia was drawing down its forces in Syria amid supply constraints in its ongoing war in Ukraine, including removing the sophisticated S-300 air defense system that was a major threat to Israeli Air Force operations in the country.
While providing humanitarian assistance, Israel has maintained a strict policy of not providing military aid to Ukraine since Russian troops invaded on February 24, including systems that could help it intercept Russian missile and drone attacks.
One major reason for that policy appears to be Israel’s strategic need to maintain freedom of operations in Syria.
However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... Jerusalem has recently seemed to warm to the idea of supplying defensive equipment, since Iran supplies the Kremlin with attack drones.
It is not clear whether presumed incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu will change course on the war.
