In today's war diary, Nikolai Feldman and Alexey Arestovich discussed the main news on the 1022nd day of war:
➤ 00:00 Ukrainian military report critical state of the front near Pokrovsk.
➤ 03:43 Kurakhovo: Ukrainian troops are surrounded, no command to break out of the encirclement yet. Zaporizhzhya direction. Enemy preparations to force the Dnieper near Kherson.
➤ 07:10 State of command of Ukrainian army. Trends that could lead to the collapse of the front have worsened.
➤ 08:45 Criteria for a possible collapse of the tactical and operational-tactical level.
➤ 10:50 Kursk region: should the Ukrainian military continue to hold the territory of the Russian Federation?
➤ 12:45 Kursk region in the negotiations - a trump card in Ukraine's hands, or not?
➤ 14:36 Escalating strike of the Ukrainian army on Russian Bryansk. De-escalation options.
➤ 17:12 Could current actions of Ukrainian army not contribute to a ceasefire?
➤ 18:30 NATO Secretary General: Ukraine should refrain from negotiations with Russia until Western allies can provide enough military assistance to move forward on the battlefield.
➤ 21:57 Orban proposed a Christmas truce for the warring parties and a full prisoner exchange. The Ukrainian President did not agree. Is Zelensky the only one who does not want a ceasefire? Changing moods of the Presidential Office.
➤ 28:18 People are more important than territories: if the Ukrainian government is administering the existing territory disgustingly, why kill tens of thousands of people for de-occupation? A similar situation in Russia.
➤ 29:40 The narrative of a "just peace for Ukraine". What is a "just peace" and what is justice? A similar fetish in Russia is the "goals of SVO". Political charlatanism.
➤ 33:05 Criminal cases: more than 20 billion UAH stolen from fortification funds.
➤ 33:45 Where is justice in Ukraine? — Banks will illegally limit transfers between citizens' cards.
➤ 35:15 Can the issue of security guarantees for Russia stop the war in Ukraine?
➤ 40:05 There will be more wars with Russia if Ukraine does not raise the issue of Russian security. Ukraine is unable to receive any serious security guarantees from the world community.
➤ 46:20 The key to a truce: only Russia can provide real guarantees of Ukraine's security within the framework of a just peace. The West is unable to do this without a direct war between NATO troops and Russia.
➤ 51:12 Kennan's 1946 telegram: Russia is against NATO expansion to the east and inadequately perceives the threats around it. Western policy is becoming reasonable. A curious case of Finland.
➤ 55:22 Multifaceted concept of justice for Ukraine. Why is Ukraine so poorly administered?
