Раскрыто содержание напряженного разговора Буданова с командой Трампа Переговоры украинской делегации со спецпосланниками Дональда Трампа в Майами, как пишет Le Monde, переросли в конфликт. По данным издания, во время трехчасовой встречи в гольф-клубе Shell Bay Стив Уиткофф «с раздражением» требовал от главы офиса Зеленского Кирилла Буданова прекратить удары по российским НПЗ. Буданов, по информации Le Monde, «с трудом сдерживал гнев» и чувствовал, что с ним «обращаются как с ребенком, пытаясь научить зарабатывать деньги». Американцы представили масштабный план послевоенного «регионального процветания», который предполагал возобновление прокачки российских нефти и газа в Европу через Украину с выплатой Киеву дивидендов. Буданов возмутился, что такая сделка привяжет Украину к Москве, после чего переговоры прервались. Когда встреча возобновилась, американцы предложили принять сделку по поставкам российского дизеля в США. Источники издания отмечают, что никогда не видели украинцев «настолько расстроенными и встревоженными». В окружении Зеленского ситуацию назвали «безнадежной», поскольку посланники Трампа «думают только о бизнесе» 📸: Пресс-служба президента Украины

🇳🇴🇺🇦 How can Ukrainian soldiers apply for a vehicle from Ukrainian Freedom Convoys (UFC)? Every week, we receive desperate requests from Ukrainian soldiers who need vehicles. We understand their situation, and we wish we could help every single one of them. But the reality is that demand far exceeds our resources. We have received more than 270 requests for our autumn convoys alone. That is far more than we can possibly fulfil. How are vehicles allocated? UFC operates a democratic allocation process. Requests are considered collectively to ensure that vehicles are distributed as fairly and responsibly as possible. We cannot simply buy a vehicle and prioritise one particular soldier or unit because someone contacts us directly. There are hundreds of soldiers waiting, many in equally desperate situations. Every request deserves fair consideration. What does a vehicle cost? On average, approximately NOK 40,000 (€3,400–3,500) covers purchasing a suitable used vehicle, necessary repairs and preparation. Our volunteer drivers cover their own travel expenses. That means: NOK 40,000 can fund approximately one vehicle. NOK 200,000 can fund approximately five. NOK 400,000 can fund approximately ten. Actual costs vary depending on the vehicles and repairs required. How can soldiers apply? Our application list is currently closed because of the overwhelming demand. Applications reopen on 10 January 2027. Contact: Mariia Dushenko (Signal): +47 941 57 542 Ole Kvåle (Signal): +47 416 51 682 Email: [email protected] Want to see more vehicles delivered? Help us fund them. UFC depends on private donations and volunteers. We cannot increase deliveries without additional financial support. Donations enable us to help more soldiers through our established allocation process, not simply move individual requests ahead of others.

What we need is funding for more vehicles. Every donation brings us closer to helping another Ukrainian unit. More donations. More vehicles. More lives saved.

Jeg håper at Helse Sør-Øst (som styrer sykehusene til over halvparten av nordmenn) i disse sikkerhets- og beredskapstider har vurdert om det er lurt å holde seg med et styremedlem som sprer russisk propaganda.

Kritikk
«10X UKRAINIAN DEAD» brukes i omtalen av et intervju med Alexander Grable, som har publisert en forskningsartikkel ved Finlands forsvarshøgskole. Han argumenterer for at Ukrainas militære tap er langt høyere enn Russlands, og at Ukraina sannsynligvis taper utmattelseskrigen. Arild Kristensen og vi, har undersøkt rapporten, kontrollert originalkildene og gått gjennom Grables egne svar på kritiske spørsmål om beregningene. På side 164 i raporten anslår han mellom 403 269 og 517 200 døde ukrainske soldater allerede i november 2024. Han tar utgangspunkt i 93 566 registrerte amputasjoner i Ukraina og multipliserer tallet med 4,31, et forholdstall hentet fra amerikanske kriger. Problemet er at statistikken gjelder kirurgiske inngrep i hele helsevesenet, inkludert sivile, amputasjoner av fingre og tær og gjentatte operasjoner på samme person. En rådgiver i Ukrainas sosialdepartement anslo antallet personer med amputasjoner til 35 000–40 000. Ingen offentliggjort statistikk viser hvor mange som var soldater. Ukrainas helsedepartement forklarte allerede i september 2023 forskjellen mellom pasienter og inngrep. Samtidig opplyste departementet at over 17 000 personer gjennomgikk amputasjoner i 2021, før fullskalainvasjonen. Dette omfatter også medisinske årsaker som Grable ikke skiller ut. Grable har antydet at BMJs senere forklaring kan være ukrainsk skadebegrensning, selv om ukrainske myndigheter hadde forklart denne registreringsmetoden flere år tidligere. Hans høyeste beregning bygger dessuten på 120 000 amputasjoner, som den ukrainske originalkilden beskriver som uoffisiell statistikk, inkludert opplysninger om protesebehandling i utlandet. På side 165 beregner Grable bare 35 264 døde russiske soldater fram til juni 2024. Her bruker han 3 200 amputasjonsdiagnoser fra en lekket russisk sykehusdatabase og multipliserer med 11,02, et forholdstall fra Vietnamkrigen. Men databasen er ufullstendig og inneholder også sykdomstilfeller, gjentatte registreringer og antatte ukrainske krigsfanger. Russiske soldater behandlet andre steder mangler. Allerede 22. juni 2024 hadde BBC Russian og Mediazona identifisert 56 858 døde russiske soldater og stridende ved navn. Det er 21 594 flere enn Grables beregning, åtte dager før hans egen sluttdato. Han dokumenterer ingen feil eller forskjeller i personellavgrensningen som forklarer dette enorme avviket. Han har heller ikke kontrollert de ukrainske beregningene mot UALosses, som registrerer identifiserte ukrainske døde og savnede. 1/4

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect. "Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you. And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. 'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Credit to: Jim Keller

En myte om sanksjonene mot Russland er at de ikke virker, slik Kreml sier. Det er uheldig at Julie Wilhelmsen gjengir den forestillingen skriver Erlend Bjørtvedt og jeg i @Aftenposten idag. Tallene viser nemlig at sanksjonene virker og redder ukrainske liv. Lenke👇🏻
Sanksjonene har ikke stanset Russlands krig. Men de virker. Erlend Bjørtvedt og Aage Borchgrevink viser hvordan de rammer russisk økonomi og krigsindustri. Men smutthullene må tettes. De bør svi enda mer. aftenposten.no/meninger/deba…

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅 My view: Trump chose to insult Norway. Visit Norway answered with humour, confidence and a showcase of its most beautiful loos. That’s how you turn an insult into an invitation. Congratulations to Norway for responding with such grace - and giving us another reason to visit. I've never been to Norway, but this is just another reason to visit 😁

Former President Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat in today’s Serbian parliamentary election, with the broad anti-corruption Students’ List coalition winning enough seats to gain a clean majority. Celebrations have reportedly broken out in the center of Belgrade.

Today, another Russian smear campaign is trying to pretend that Ukraine, or Zelenskyy personally, rejected a good "peace deal" in Istanbul in 2022. ​The "peace plan" in question included strict limitations on the Ukrainian armed forces, rendering them harmless and defenseless. No alliances were allowed. It also included security guarantees, but with a funny kicker: Russia demanded that triggering these security guarantees required the unanimous agreement of all guarantor states, including Russia itself. ​In other words, Ukraine was supposed to disarm almost completely, after which Russia could attack again and just block Ukraine from receiving any military aid. Comfy, right? ​The "peace deal" proposed in Istanbul was, in fact, a "disarm and let Russia slaughter us" deal. The full details are public by now. Research it yourself and don't fall for the propaganda.

Haha! Mangelen på tankevirksomhet er fascinerende 🤣 Du tar utgangspunkt i at når Zelensky sier at 1 million russiske soldater er drept eller såret, så er det sant. Men sannheten kan likevel være at 200.000 russere er drept/såret, mens 2 millioner ukr. soldater er det.

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's. What an absolutely insane foreign policy.
