[REGNUM] TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov proposed returning the death penalty to Russia. According to him, “if Daria Trepova is exchanged, then what will stop the next killers? They will exchange you, somewhere there they will greet you as a heroine and give you a lot of money. Capital punishment must be returned precisely for this purpose - so that there is no illusion that punishment can be avoided.” Let me remind you that Daria Trepova, according to the investigation, was the perpetrator of the terrorist attack, as a result of which military correspondent Vladlen Tatarsky was killed and dozens more people were wounded.

[Korrespondent] 21:38 The tenth meeting was held at Boryspil airport with representatives of the diplomatic corps accredited in Ukraine on the implementation of the Peace Formula. The event was dedicated to the implementation of the tenth point of the Formula on confirming the end of the war, the Office of the President reports. 86 participants joined the discussion: representatives of 83 foreign states and three international organizations.
Deputy head of the OP Andrey Sibiga said that Boryspil airport will be the first facility to be opened as soon as the security situation allows. And the head of the OP Andrey Ermak emphasized that “now we are able to ensure the security of this facility.”
20:55 The Save Ukraine team returned two more children with their parents from the temporarily occupied territories. In total, Save Ukraine returned 213 Ukrainian children from the occupation and from Russia.
20:44 Putin signed a decree establishing the staffing level of the Russian Armed Forces at 2,209,130 people, including 1,320,000 military personnel. Thus, the staff of the Russian army has been increased by almost 170 thousand people. The Russian Ministry of Defense clarified that the increase in the number of the Russian Armed Forces is being implemented in stages at the expense of citizens “who express a desire to serve under a contract.” The increase in staffing levels is allegedly due to “increasing threats to Russia associated with the Northern Military District and the ongoing expansion of NATO.” At the same time, there are no plans to significantly increase conscription for compulsory military service, and no mobilization is envisaged, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
19:59 Zelensky in an evening video message announced changes in mobilization: “Everyone in Ukraine understands that changes are needed in this area. And this is not just a question of the number of those who can be mobilized. This is a question of timing - and for everyone who is now in the army, - for demobilization, - and for those who join the army. And this is a question of conditions. These are complex things that must be worked out by the military leadership and the Ministry of Defense and which must be presented to Headquarters for approval. Today there were some proposals. I I'm waiting for comprehensive solutions."
The President said that today he held a meeting of the Headquarters and several important meetings: “Minister of Defense, his first deputy. Special issues, sensitive, non-public - to support our forces. Plus a preparatory meeting before next week. Ukraine’s participation in significant events is planned, including international."
19:32 Zelensky told foreign journalists why the counteroffensive was not successful and what complicates the new stage of the war. Read more in the article Failures in the counteroffensive and the new phase .
18:47 Medvedev claims that before December 1, more than 452 thousand people were recruited for military service.
17:56 The SBU, it seems, has already reached Buryatia: there was an explosion in the longest tunnel of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Ukrainian media reported, citing sources in the Security Service, that an explosive device went off in the tunnel. Read more in the article Long Arms of the SBU .
17:38 The Russians fired at a residential building in Ivanovka, Kherson region, one person was wounded, the OVA reported.
16:46 Russia was not re-elected to the board of the International Maritime Organization, a UN agency that deals with shipping safety issues. Zelensky called it a “fair decision” and thanked the IMO “for this responsible step.”
16:15 The US government intends to halve Russia's revenues from oil and gas exports by the end of this decade, Deputy Secretary of State for Energy Resources Geoffrey Pyatt said in an interview with the Financial Times. The publication recalls that Russia continues to export large volumes of oil since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, the International Energy Agency predicts that oil and gas exports from the Russian Federation could fall by at least 40-50% by 2030 if Western sanctions against Russian energy continue.
15:38 Switzerland has frozen about 7.7 billion Swiss francs (approximately $8.8 billion) of Russian assets, the country's government reported. This figure is a preliminary estimate and may change. More precise information is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2024, when Swiss banks report to the government.
15:09 In Novogrodovka, Donetsk region, rescue work continues for the second day after a Russian strike on a residential building, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports. Currently, two people are known to have died; there may be three more people under the rubble - a family with a child.
14:41 As a result of the night Russian shelling of Tyaginka, Kherson region, one person was killed and one was wounded, said the head of the OVA Alexander Prokudin. Over the previous 24 hours, three people were killed and eight were injured due to enemy shelling in the region.
13:55 From now on, medical institutions can exchange documents with military units, TCC and social support services through an electronic document management system. This will significantly simplify and speed up the process of passing the military medical commission for military personnel, the Ministry of Defense reported.
13:27 Belgium, Germany, France, Italy and Luxembourg are calling not to force the use of frozen Russian assets in the interests of Ukraine, Bloomberg writes. Sources told the publication that these countries "expressed caution about speeding up the process and called for a more gradual approach."
The European Commission is preparing to present its proposal on December 12 to tax profits from more than 200 billion euros of frozen assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to help the recovery of Ukraine. But the five countries are calling for "starting with a more informal document to continue narrowing down the different options for using the profits." At the same time, the European Commission says that EU leaders advised the bloc's leadership to speed up work on the proposal.
12:39 Next year, Ukraine will “several times” increase the production of missiles, ammunition, weapons and military equipment, the Ministry of Defense reported. The main focus will be on the production of air defense systems - from conventional man-portable air defense systems to air defense systems with a range of more than 100 km (such as the Coral air defense system). In addition, the budget for 2024 provides about 175 billion hryvnia for the purchase of missiles and ammunition.
11:48 Another train with fuel exploded on the Baikal-Amur Railway. As Ukrainian media report, citing sources in the SBU, this explosion was the second stage of a special operation to disable the railway line, which the Russians use, among other things, for military logistics.
The first freight train exploded directly in the Severomuisky tunnel. To continue moving, the Russians began to use the bypass road passing through the Devil's Bridge. This is exactly what the SBU was counting on: when a train passed over this bridge, the explosive devices embedded in it went off. Russian public pages write that six tanks caught fire during the explosion.
11:23 Kiev will pay 30 thousand hryvnia to each mobilized person, said the mayor of the capital Vitaliy Klitschko. The money will be allocated from the city budget - the corresponding decision must be approved by the City Council at the next meeting. Earlier this week, the Odessa City Council announced that it would pay each mobilized Odessa resident 20 thousand hryvnia.
10:45 Zelensky, in an interview with the Associated Press, admitted that Ukraine did not achieve the desired results during the summer counter-offensive: “We wanted to get faster results. From this point of view, unfortunately, we did not achieve the desired results. And this is a fact... Not We have enough strength to quickly achieve the desired results. But this does not mean that we should give up, that we should capitulate. We are confident in our actions. We are fighting for what belongs to us... We have a new phase of war, and this is a fact "Winter in general is a new stage of war."
Zelensky also claims that Israel’s war has already reduced aid supplies to Ukraine, so the priority now is the production of its own weapons. In his opinion, “nothing scares Russia more than a militarily self-sufficient Ukraine.”
10:19 The Russian defense of the Crimean Bridge was heavily damaged as a result of the storm. Most of the barges in front of it from the Black Sea were washed away or flooded, reports OSINT analyst MT_Anderson, citing satellite images . So, near the bridge, three barges were flooded and one was partially flooded, two barges were completely washed away by water. Another barge remains afloat, but it is not tied to anything.
09:44 Orban proposes not to put the issue of Ukraine’s accession to the EU on the agenda of the summit in December, because “it is clear in advance that there will be no agreement among the countries.” The Hungarian prime minister also said that he proposed that the EU first conclude a “strategic partnership” agreement with Ukraine, and return to the conversation about accession in 5-10 years.
09:17 OSINT investigators report, citing analysis of photographs of drone debris, that the Russians are using Ukrainian SIM cards to control Shahed drones. In particular, one of the downed Russian drones contained a battery, a modem and a SIM card from the Kyivstar mobile operator. The SIM card allows Russian forces to use the mobile network to track the drone's location and change its flight path. Kyivstar stated that it is cooperating with law enforcement agencies to ensure that such incidents do not occur.
08:46 As a result of a night attack by drones in the Bashtansky district of the Nikolaev region, a warehouse building, a hangar, and agricultural equipment were damaged at agricultural enterprises. No people were injured, said the head of the OVA, Vitaly Kim. Air defense in the region destroyed seven enemy UAVs of the Shahed-131/136 type.

07:39 At night, the Russians launched a missile attack on Krivoy Rog. The consequences of the attack are being clarified, no people were injured, said the head of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Police Department, Sergei Lysak.
03:58 A “shocking lack of strategic vision” in Europe gives Putin a chance to win, says The Economist. "The West could do much more to frustrate Putin. If he made up his mind, he could deploy industrial and financial resources that dwarf Russia's. However, fatalism, complacency and a shocking lack of strategic vision get in the way, especially in Europe. For its own sake, and for the sake of Ukraine, the West must urgently get rid of lethargy,” the article says.

Battle of Mar'inka: Russian flag on the western outskirts of the city

Coordinates: 47.9455520, 37.4847957
– However, it is very premature to talk about the capture of Mar'inka - the enemy still holds positions in the northwestern part. And to completely destroy Ukrainian forces in this area, a lot more work needs to be done.
– The difficulties for carrying out assault operations are still the same: the city is now complete ruins, which are perfectly visible from the air from all sides. The fighting actually goes from basement to basement - there are simply no other shelters in this area. This creates difficulties for consolidation at the taken boundaries.
– The Armed Forces of Ukraine, however, have similar problems with the addition that as the Russian Armed Forces slowly advance, it will become more and more difficult for them to supply their centers of defense in the ruins of Mar'inka.

[REGNUM] On November 30, the Duma of the Volgograd Region adopted a law that determined the exact order in which the names of villages and cities in the region, including the regional capital, should be changed . Which, as you know, was renamed three times: Tsaritsyn, Stalingrad, Volgograd. The local news received a nationwide response. And it was Volgograd-Stalingrad, which is logical, that the authors of numerous comments immediately remembered. “Some wrote that the Volgograd Regional Duma is renaming Volgograd to Stalingrad, others - that we are announcing a referendum on the renaming,” noted regional Duma speaker Alexander Bloshkin.

[Regnum] The frigate Admiral Golovko, which is planned to be equipped with Zircon hypersonic missiles, has successfully passed tests in the Barents Sea, the press service of JSC USC, which includes the manufacturer Severnaya Verf, reported on December 1.
“The frigate Admiral Golovko, built by the shipbuilders of the Northern Shipyard, has completed the program of factory sea trials and state tests at the sea ranges of the Northern Fleet in the Barents Sea,” the company reported.
“Admiral Golovko” is the first ship in the series with a Russian-made power plant. In addition, this is the third ship of Project 22 350, within the framework of which multi-purpose frigates of the 1st rank with guided missile weapons for the near, far sea and ocean zones are being built.
They plan to equip the warship with Zircon hypersonic missiles, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on November 21, noting that the frigate is undergoing state tests.
I suspect Col. General Gerasimov has his hands full being Shoigu's chief of staff.
[Regnum] Secret peace negotiations are being conducted by Moscow and Kiev at the level of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov . American journalist, Pulitzer Prize winner Seymour Hersh
...often wrong, always certain — he’s been trying to recapture the feeling since his first big story broke. And he hates America, so that’s a plus for his followers...
made this statement in his article on his blog on Substack.
The journalist announced secret negotiations that are being conducted bypassing the head of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, citing anonymous sources in the American administration and Americans familiar with the situation in the Ukrainian government.
“The driving force behind these negotiations was not Washington or Moscow, not [US President Joseph] Biden or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin , but the two senior generals who are running the war, Valery Gerasimov for Russia and Valery Zaluzhny for Ukraine,” Hersh explained.
According to Hersh, citing a high-ranking official, Zaluzhny was pushed to the decision to negotiate peace with Russia by certain key figures on the American side. At the same time, Zelensky was made to understand that negotiations would be held regardless of his wishes.
According to the journalist, the agreement discussed at the negotiations assumes that the Russian-Ukrainian border will be fixed along the current front line. The Republic of Crimea, as well as the territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will remain Russian, but in return it is assumed that Russia will not object to Ukraine joining NATO without the right to station troops and offensive weapons of the alliance on its territory.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, as political scientist Alexander Asafov, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation , said, the West is not ready to end the Ukrainian conflict, therefore the head of the Kiev regime Zelensky continues to actively deny the possibility of an early truce with Moscow.
The Ukrainian leader, in an interview with The Sun magazine, said that he is not ready to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia now. He acknowledged the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield, but the head of the Kyiv regime flatly refused to enter into a peace treaty with Moscow.

[ColonelCassad] A decree was signed on establishing the staffing level of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
Decree “On establishing the staffing level of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.”
In accordance with Article 4 of the Federal Law of May 31, 1996 No. 61-FZ “On Defense”, I decide:
1. Establish the staffing level of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the amount of 2,209,130 units, including 1,320,000 military personnel.
2. The Government of the Russian Federation shall provide for the allocation to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of budgetary allocations from the federal budget necessary for the implementation of paragraph 1 of this Decree.
3. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of August 25, 2022 No. 575 “On establishing the staffing level of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation” (Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2022, No. 35, Art. 6068) shall be declared invalid.
4. This Decree comes into force from the date of its signing.
PS. There were 2,039,758 people, of which 1,150,628 were military personnel. As I have written more than once before, an increase in the RF Armed Forces due to the need to wage war in Ukraine and increase military capabilities on the borders with NATO is inevitable. And this is not the last increase in numbers.
PS2. It is also worth noting that today Medvedev announced that from 01/01/2023 to 12/01/2023, 452,000 people voluntarily entered the RF Armed Forces. Recruitment is actively continuing.
To what will they increase the potential pool on order to get such numbers: down to 14 years and up to 72? Or will they increase the draft among ethnic Russians in addition to all the ethnic subject peoples?
The maximum strength of the Russian Armed Forces has increased by 170,000 military personnel and will now amount to 1 million 320,000 military personnel, according to an official statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The department recalled that this decision was made within the framework of a decree of Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
“In accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated November 29, 2023, the maximum strength of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was increased by 170,000 military personnel to 1 million 320,000 military personnel,” the text says.
The Ministry of Defense clarified that the increase in the number of military personnel will occur in stages due to those wishing to do military service under a contract. The ministry also stated that there are no plans to significantly increase conscription or conduct additional mobilization.
In addition, the department’s message emphasizes that increasing the combat strength and size of the Armed Forces is a response to NATO activities.
As Regnum reported , it previously became known that Vladimir Putin signed a decree to increase the size of the Russian Armed Forces . In accordance with the document, their staffing should be 2,209,130 people, including 1,320,000 military personnel.
Before this, the size of the Russian Armed Forces reached 2,039,758 people, including 1,150,628 military personnel. On June 21, Vladimir Putin said that the improvement of the Russian Armed Forces will continue and strengthening the army remains a priority for Russia , taking into account new challenges.
On September 26, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that his department continues to increase the combat power of the Armed Forces. According to him, one of the areas of such activity is increasing the supply of modern weapons to the army and improving the training of personnel.
Shoigu clarified that the plan to increase combat power includes activities until 2025.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Russia lost a dozen elite marines when they cooked food on an open fire and triggered an explosion from nearby live ammunition. "Elite"
Eight of the marines from 155th Separate Guards Marine Brigade, based in Vladivostok, were killed on the spot.
Four more died in hospital, said the News 166 outlet in Rostov, which said the humiliating tragedy had been confirmed by three independent sources.

I remember the Mortar Platoon during a meal break on the range heating coffee with the "cheese" from the base of 81 mm mortar rounds. As I recall the round came packaged with six "slices" of propellant change and you could strip them off as needed to adjust the range of the round. They burned well and for a decent period so they were excellent for cooking fires. The one danger that everyone knew, is never, ever try and put them out by stepping on them! The pressure could accelerate the burn rate like the compression of the bottom of the mortar tube and potentially blow your foot off.

[REGNUM] Despite the ongoing sanctions campaign against Russia, industrial production in our country continues to grow. From January to October, the figure increased by 3.5% compared to the same months in 2022, Rosstat reported. At the same time, the fastest pace was demonstrated not by the usual locomotive of our economy—mining, but by the manufacturing industries. They grew by 9.5%, and, as noted in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the production index here is steadily increasing.

[REGNUM] When, in the middle of a crowded but very quiet crowd at Warsaw IKEA, I caught a furious child by the hand and began to reprimand him in an angry voice, my wife immediately pulled me back: stop immediately, they will call the police. Distant and emphatically polite Poles will not make a remark if they see some kind of disorder. How do you warm up your car, for example, plant a tree without written permission, light a barbecue in your yard. Or you don’t behave according to their rules towards your own children. They will simply report it right away and you will be fined. And social services will come for the children.
