UK, Frankrike, Spania og Italia bidrar mye, men ser man per capita så skuffer de ja. Italia har begynt å være mer diskré med å annonsere sine leveranser etter hva jeg har skjønt.

NATO allies pledge over $1 billion for US arms for Ukraine Separately, Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand said her country would also donate approximately $200 million under the PURL initiative, while the U.K. pledged an additional 10 million pounds ($13 million) in energy support. Germany's contribution to the upcoming packages amounts to about $200 million, while Norway will donate as much as $500 million.

Denmark Makes History: First NATO State to Host Ukrainian Arms Production The plant will be located near the Skrydstrup Air Base, a positioning that provides additional protection and logistical advantages. The facility is expected to manufacture military-grade solid rocket fuel, a critical component for several of Ukraine’s missile programs. By placing the production line in Denmark, Kyiv reduces the risk of Russian strikes on its industrial infrastructure and ensures uninterrupted supplies of essential defense materials. https://united24media.com/latest-news/denmark-makes-history-first-nato-state-to-host-ukrainian-arms-production-13964

Russia Straps Fighter-Jet Missile to Shahed Drone to Target Ukrainian Helicopters According to a statement from a General Staff colonel, the drone—Russia’s locally branded Geran-2, based on the Iranian Shahed-136—was launched with a Soviet-era R-60 heat-seeking missile mounted beneath its wing. https://united24media.com/latest-news/russia-reportedly-straps-fighter-jet-missile-to-shahed-drone-to-target-ukrainian-helicopters-13913 Tviler på at dette fungerer i praksis. Dronene blir som regel avskåret fra siden eller bakfra som vist i videoen og missilet peker forover. Og hvordan fungerer ildledning?

Zelenskyjs stabssjef går av Tidligere fredag meldte Ukrainas antikorrupsjonsbyrå (NABU) at de ransaket kontoret til Volodymyr Zelenskyjs stabssjef Andrij Jermak. Aet kan dreie seg om totalt én milliard kroner som har havnet på feil steder. Tidligere denne måneden ble Ukrainas tidligere visestatsminister tatt i en korrupsjonsskandale. https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/2pnAKG/zelenskyjs-stabssjef-gaar-av Ukraina har et stykke å gå men heldigvis jobbes det aktivt.

Ukraine’s Drones Wipe Out $60 Million in Russian Air-Defense Systems in Just Three Days The strikes eliminated a Buk-M1, a Buk-M2, and a Tor-M2 system.

orban er i moska og kysser ræv igjen Orban Visits Putin in Moscow for Energy Talks—and “Can Hardly Avoid” Discussing Ukraine According to Reuters on November 28, despite Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, Orban has continued to cultivate close ties with the Kremlin, and Hungary remains heavily dependent on Russian energy even as the European Union pushes to reduce such reliance. In a video message Orban said, “I am going to Moscow to ensure that Hungary’s energy supply is secured for the winter and next year.” When asked whether discussions on peace in Ukraine would also take place, Orban replied, “We can hardly avoid that,” as reported by Reuters. https://united24media.com/latest-news/orban-visits-putin-in-moscow-for-energy-talks-and-can-hardly-avoid-discussing-ukraine-13856

Det kan være en hårfin balanse mellom hva som er putins talking points og ytringsfrihet. Åpenbar propaganda slås selvsagt ned på. Som nevnt er det å rapportere et innlegg en god måte å gjøre oss oppmerksomme på et innlegg som kanskje trenger moderering. Jeg er nok den moderatoren som er mest aktiv i denne tråden, er åpenlyst pro-Ukrainsk, men ikke helt varm i trøya ennå samt så står ytringsfrihet høyt i mine øyne. Edit: Det er også et frivillig verv så det er vanskelig å få med seg alt.

Norge har hatt allmenn verneplikt siden 1. januar 2015, og ble da det første NATO-landet som innførte lik plikt for både kvinner og menn til å verne om landet sitt. https://www.regjeringen.no/no/tema/forsvar/allmenn-verneplikt/id2009109/

EU will speed up Ukraine’s €140B loan, vows von der Leyen The financial scheme to aid Kyiv takes on new urgency as Russia and U.S. discuss conflict endgame. To the EU’s dismay, U.S. President Donald Trump’s original peace plan suggested that Washington profits from the use of these assets in Ukraine, with a remaining share being handed back to Russia. Brussels, for its part, believes that the assets should be used instead to underpin a loan to Ukraine, which is set to run out of money early next year. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-speed-up-ukraine-loan-ursula-von-der-leyen/

Såklart, "men læll". Kan ikke skjønne at dette er akseptabelt.

Ukraine agrees to Trump-brokered peace plan, US media reports Ukraine has agreed to the peace proposal brokered by the Trump administration, with some minor details still to be worked out, according to US media reports, citing a US official. Washington sent its initial 28-point peace plan to Kyiv last week, before officials from both countries drafted a counterproposal at crisis talks in Geneva at the weekend. European allies, who put forward their own counterproposal to the 28-point plan, have hastily arranged a number of meetings in recent days in an effort to keep pace with negotiations. It comes after reports that US and Russian officials, including US Army secretary Dan Driscoll, were meeting for talks in Abu Dhabi today. https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-trumps-peace-plan-revealed-in-full-but-zelenskyy-says-his-team-must-check-its-genuine-12541713 Hva??
