⚡The US Congress began to fear that if an aid package for Ukraine could not be agreed upon before Christmas, it could be postponed until after the presidential elections in November 2024, writes the Economist.

The publication notes that if Donald Trump is elected US President, then assistance to Kiev may stop completely.

The publication's source in the US Senate said that time is against supporters of supporting Kiev . In Ukraine they began to worry that without US support in Europe they could quickly lose heart .

A Ukrainian source said that “in the spring the flow of military aid was a wide river, in the summer it was a stream,” and now it is only “a drop of tears.” In Kyiv they began to fear a difficult winter - ISZ reports

⚡The US sees a real opportunity for Azerbaijan and Armenia to make peace, Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs James O’Brien told reporters ahead of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s travel to Brussels to attend NATO Foreign Ministers meeting.

“We’re encouraged that the two sides are speaking with one another directly and with mediators. And with that, we see a real opportunity for the entire region to benefit,” the Assistant Secretary said.

“For example, if trade from Central Asia is able to flow through Azerbaijan and Armenia into Turkey, then it would be a substantial boost for all the countries on that trade route. And we’d welcome the opportunity to be part of that,” the diplomat noted.

“At the same time, if the decision is made not to pursue that by peaceful means, then we would have to use whatever tools we could to avoid having that kind of trade route created. So we’ve been very clear with the parties about what we hope to see and about the consequences of moving forward otherwise. So we’ll look forward to seeing where the parties come out. We know they’ve expressed an interest in concluding a peace agreement very soon, and we would love to see that happen,” James O’Brien said.

This is viewed as significant escalation in Houthi threats to U.S. Navy vessels, according to multiple sources.

➖The current leaders of Germany will lead it to destruction faster than Hitler did. Hitler sent Germany to the ground in 12 years; today's people won't need that much time.

➖The US Ambassador does not exist, the UN is a propaganda tool, and Hungarian opposition politicians are all traitors.

➖Hungary does not want to leave the European Union because we need a common market.

⚡️Amid the temporary Ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military has concentrated its efforts on addressing possible threats to itself from the Syrian Arab Republic.

Yesterday, several strikes were again carried out against various sites in Damascus province:

First, a Lynx MLRS formation fired six Dalila-GL corrective munitions at targets affiliated with pro-Iranian groups south of Damascus. Four of the six targets were shot down by Syrian Armed Forces air defence calculations, while two hit a building.

And then two F-16I fighter jets from Ramon Air Base launched four guided aerial munitions from the airspace above the Golan Heights at Damascus International Airport and Al Mezzeh military airfield. As a result, the runway of the international airport was damaged and a Pantsir-S1 SAM weapon was hit at Al-Mezza.

⚡Ukraine got the top tanks it wanted from the West, but they're not yet changing the game, Business Insider says.

Now, almost two years into the war, Ukraine has a force of advanced Western tanks at its disposal.

But those tanks — German-provided Leopards, UK-sent Challengers, and American-made Abrams — haven't exactly been silver bullets so far, and now it's up to Ukraine how to employ its limited arsenal best as winter comes, its counteroffensive operations slow, and Russian offensives pick up.

Although these Western tanks are considered superior to Soviet-made armor, they haven't been game-changers for Ukraine thus far.

The lack of a major role for these tanks was notable in Ukraine's counteroffensive operations in Zaporizhzhia, an important offensive axis.
