Zelensky:
Forcible deportation is one of the most cynical crimes of this war. This is a clear genocidal policy of Russia.
The world knows that this Russian crime against Ukrainian children, against our families, is not something random, but an organized work of the Russian state system. The relevant work of the International Criminal Court and the warrant for the arrest of Russia's main criminal are absolutely convincing evidence that the deportation of children and the deportation of Ukrainian men and women will not go unpunished.
I thank everyone who is already working with Ukraine to return children.
Thank you for your efforts and caring hearts.

Russians are upset because the ammunition coming from North Korea is such poor quality. What do they expect from slave labor?

When your soldiers can't make a breakthrough, use propaganda
🚁 We work for the infantry, for the sake of the infantry and together with the infantry - fire support, amphibious transport tasks, medevacs, search and evacuation. And much more.
We are the only ones who broke through to the surrounded Mariupol. We went to Zmiiny. We burned the evil spirit near Kyiv.
We perform tasks in all directions. Every day. Now. At this point.

Norway and the U.K. will launch a joint coalition for support for Ukraine on Dec. 11, the Norwegian Defense Ministry said on Dec. 6.
Both states are NATO members but not EU member states, and regularly cooperate on military training and defense matters.
Few details have been announced before the coalition's launch, which will take place in London.
U.K. Defense Minister Grant Shapps and Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram will provide more information during the event, the Defense Ministry said. Norway launched the Nansen Support Program for Ukraine in February to provide Ukraine with $7 billion in military and humanitarian aid over the next five years. U.K. Foreign Minister David Cameron pledged on Dec. 5 that the U.K. will maintain its military support to Ukraine. London has already provided more than 4.7 billion pounds ($5.9 billion) in humanitarian and economic assistance to Ukraine, Cameron said.

Russia’s mercenary recruiters are detained in Nepal.
Police in Nepal have detained ten people on suspicion of illegally recruiting the country’s residents into the Russian military.
Reuters reported on this with reference to Kathmandu District Police Chief Bhupendra Khatri.
According to Khatri, the detainees illegally charged each person up to $9,000 and sent them to Russia on “tourist visas”, mainly through the UAE.
They were then recruited into the Russian military. In October of this year, Ukrainian troops captured a Russian mercenary from Nepal in the Avdiyivka direction.
Nepal has also asked Russia to pay compensation to the families of Nepalese citizens killed during the hostilities.

Russia has brought in more than 40,000 troops to the Avdiyiv direction.
"The occupiers are suffering heavy losses there, but despite this, the reserves - Storm-Z and newly mobilized - are being brought up very quickly", Oleksandr Shtupun, the spokesman of the Defense Forces of the Tavria Region, said on the air of the telethon.
"The attitude of the command towards them is just like animals. It is recorded that they are sometimes even left without food and water, and they are forced to eat just snow. Lots of frostbite at the moment. But for some reason they are moving forward - they fear their leadership more than death ," Shtupun said.
🇺🇦 The military collects ammunition and items received at a logistics center on the territory of Great Britain.
This is the assistance of the United Kingdom to the Armed Forces of Ukraine within the framework of the multinational training operation "INTERFLEX"
📌Ukrainian recruits, participants of leadership courses and instructor courses, immediately after arriving at the airport, go to the HAP logistics center, and there they receive all the necessary items for service worth about $3,000. These are uniforms, shoes, protective equipment, a first-aid kit, a multitool, a bag and a backpack and many useful "little things" that will be needed both during training and on the front line.
📌 The Minister of Defense of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Grant Shapps, announced a new large support package for Ukraine of more than 100 million pounds.
📌 Britain will provide Ukraine with air defense systems, equipment for building bridges and means for safe movement through minefields.
Be careful out there. There is a new Covid running around.
