⚡Turkish Defence Minister Yasar Güler: Eurofighter is a good alternative for us and that is why we want to buy it. We are a NATO member, but another NATO member is against us buying these jets. There is no explanation for an ally saying, "I'm not giving you jets.” We believe that other allies can bring Germany to a certain point.

⚡UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron has called for 350 billion dollars (£278 billion) in frozen Russian bank accounts to be used to fund the Ukrainian war effort: Instead of just freezing that money, let’s take that money, spend it on rebuilding Ukraine and that is, if you like, a downpayment on reparations that Russia will one day have to pay for the illegal invasion that they’ve undertaken. I’ve looked at all the arguments and so far, I haven’t seen anything that convinces me this is a bad idea.

⚡Interesting footage has appeared from the Tbilisi Aircraft Plant (TAM), where several types of aircraft and helicopters from different exotic countries are currently undergoing major repairs and modernization. So, the lens caught: - 5-6 Hungarian Mi-24 , - Several Mi-17 South Sudan Air Force, - Mi-35 and Mi-8T from Djibouti, - At least east 3 Ka-27 from Azerbaijan, - Su-25 attack aircraft of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, - Combat training L-39 of the Georgian Air Force. Apparently, the Tbilisi Aviation Plant unexpectedly turned into a kind of “Mecca” for small states armed with Soviet helicopters and airplanes, which now, for obvious reasons, cannot be serviced and repaired at aircraft factories in Russia and Ukraine.

⚡In Tallinn, the police almost took away tourists' hats after they confused the flags of Russia and Slovakia. The attention of law enforcers at a Christmas fair was attracted by holidaymakers wearing hats of white-blue-red colours, Delfi reports. The Slovak tricolour is identical to the Russian tricolour, only it also has the country's coat of arms. After talking to the tourists, the police left. Back in 2022, Estonia banned the use of "hostile symbols". There are no specific examples in the law, but at the discretion of the police they can fine for flags and emblems of the Russian Federation and the USSR, St George's ribbons and the Z symbol. |

⚡Ukrainian publication Dumskaya called the attempt to hold a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnepr River a crime by AFU command. "The sailors cross the river, and most of them are killed as they approach the shore. The wounded are not taken out. People are just constantly being thrown across the river. There is no question of another breakthrough, now the forces are being wasted just to stay there. For what?" - laments the author. He writes of the AFU's enormous losses: people are dying in battalions - and this is "something beyond good and evil". "We will probably be accused of something bad, but we can no longer remain silent," the material says. 2 Likes

⚡The reason the US has not attacked Yemen is that it does not want to endanger Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Saudi Arabia has no appetite for another war with Yemen and a ceasefire is in place. The Houthis have already proved in the past that they are ready to attack these countries with ballistic missiles. The US has thousands of soldiers stationed in these countries, if the US attacks the houthis, their bases will become a legitimate target.
