Now the main Russian Cossack organisations are loyal to Putin, and they are fighting alongside Russia’s forces in Ukraine. He is regularly pictured on his and other social media pages at Cossack gatherings, often wearing Cossack military uniform. Felk has worked as a security guard and has run a logistics firm, according to posts on Felk’s OK social media account. Photos shared by Kharkovsky on social media show him and other participants standing in front of a Great Don Army flag. Eremenko confirmed to Reuters that he worked for Russian military intelligence, the GRU.

Sergei Surovikin, nicknamed "General Armageddon" by the Russian media for his reputed ruthlessness, on Nov. 9 recommended Moscow's forces quit Kherson and the west bank of the River Dnipro where they were dangerously exposed. Simonyan urged Surovikin, a hulking shaven-headed figure who has been shown on TV speaking in clipped Russian military language, to ignore "nonsense" from critics, a reference to influential military bloggers unhappy about his retreat. Nor is taking new ground in the east against a highly motivated and Western-equipped Ukrainian military an easy task, especially in the winter. The appointment of Surovikin on Oct. 8 was the first time Russia had publicly named an overall commander for its forces in Ukraine. With the exception of the city of Lysychansk, in eastern Ukraine, he said all the territory Russia held looked defensible.

☆ In Russia, some hope U.S. midterms will mean less Ukraine aid and more chaos

But for now, few in Moscow expect the bipartisan U.S. political consensus on Ukraine to crack, whatever the result of Tuesday's midterm elections. Nor do they expect Washington's support for Kyiv to dip significantly anytime soon. "However, the Biden administration will find it more difficult to push financial aid programmes to Kyiv through Congress, and the position of U.S. critics of unlimited aid to Ukraine will markedly strengthen." "Even if it survives as a single state, the United States will change dramatically and its global position will weaken under any circumstances," Akopov opined. "Without a strong and united (United) States the West will not be able to maintain control over western Russian lands for long."

21 декабря – день зимнего солнцестояния. Сегодня, 21 декабря, в день зимнего солнцестояния Солнце достигает своей самой южной точки и находится на минимальной высоте над горизонтом. С 22 декабря продолжительность светового дня начнёт постепенно увеличиваться, а ночное время — уменьшаться. За северным полярным кругом в дни зимнего солнцестояния наступает полярная ночь, когда Солнце перестает подниматься над горизонтом. Во многих древних культурах день зимнего солнцестояния связывался с новым годом.

☆ Британские власти призвали владельцев супермаркетов запастись продуктами из-за Brexit

Торговые сети Великобритании предупредили покупателей, что в течение ближайших трёх месяцев возможна нехватка продуктов. Специалисты по чрезвычайному планированию предрекли, что невозможность договориться с ЕС по поводу торговых отношений Великобритании с Евросоюзом вызовет панику. Торговые сети Великобритании начали массово запасать продукты и медикаменты. Уже с 1 января Британия будет торговать с ЕС на общих основаниях - на тех, которые рекомендует Всемирная торговая организация: так произойдёт, если Лондон не сможет договориться с ЕС по поводу других условий торговли Великобритании со своими европейскими соседями. Население может повести себя непредсказуемо, если переговоры между Лондоном и Брюсселем по поводу условий торговли Великобритании с ЕС зайдут в тупик - а на то есть все основания.
