Ukraine hopes to recapture the strategic Black Sea peninsula that serves as a chokepoint for two rivers and a Russian artillery stronghold.

So they tell me...
The photo of Putin shows zero results on a Tin Eye search. It’s either a very new picture just posted in the last few hours or it is of questionable provenance.
Just saying.
I also thought the head looked a little enlarged, and that the legs seemed a little reduced.
It might be enhanced in the photo (by the publishers, not Speedy), or it might be some muscle wasting, causing the head to slump forward, and the thighs to thin out.

“Russia produces about 11 million barrels per day, and so dropping it to about 9 or even 8.5 would be more beneficial to Russia”
I think ‘beneficial’ isn’t the right word to use.
Shutting in wells for any reason has a risk of diminished flow when the wells are restarted.
Another video of Little Pukin. Picture seems like a screen capture from that video.
More good news from Ukraine:
Every missile/drone used against a civilian target and not against a military target is a loss for RuZZia.
RuZZia lost more missiles today.
⚡️ (https://t.me/rybar/41419)🇷🇺🇺🇦☢️ Breaking - Emergency Shutdown of Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plants⚡️
After today’s massive Russian strike, media reports of problems at nuclear facilities in #Ukraine immediately started pouring in.
First the South Ukraine nuclear power plant in #Nikolaev Oblast went into emergency mode, followed later by the #Rivne and #Khmelnitsky nuclear power plants in the western part of the country.
The most probable cause of the accident was the failure of supply substations. This led to a sharp drop in the consumers of electricity generated by the NPPs, due to which the shifts on duty were forced to shut down the reactors and put them to work for the plants’ own needs.
🩸 Today, for the first time since the SMO began, all Ukrainian nuclear power plants have been “shut down” from the country’s power grid.
It is not out of the question that power engineers will be able to put the emergency circuits back together and restart some of the nuclear plants.
But what is happening is a good demonstration of the beginning of the disintegration of Ukraine’s unified energy system into separate, independent “islands”.

MOSCOW, November 21. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to take part in a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council to be held in Bishkek on December 9. The format of his participation will be announced later, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday.
“Indeed, [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] participation in the summit is being prepared now. After the preparations are completed, we will make an announcement,” he said in reply to a question about whether Putin planned to attend the meeting and whether he would speak in person or via videoconference.
The EAEU consists of Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The supreme supranational body of the association is the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council, and the permanent supranational regulatory body is the Eurasian Economic Commission. The presidents of the EAEU member states take part in the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council meetings.

This is EXTREMELY important.
It’s when Glazyev - who’s coordinating the design of a new gold/commodities-based currency to bypass the US dollar - will personally brief Putin on the state of play.
“Bloated face, hand strangely gripping the the arm chair, nervous foot movement, overall disfigured. He is dissolving devolving.”
Excerpt from yesterday’s Summary of the daily livestream with Aleksey Arestovych, kindly brought to you by Anastasiya: @Anastasiya1451A (via https://twitter.com/wartranslated )
“The West is preparing for the post-Putin world
Several resolutions and national & EU parliaments declared Russia a terrorist state & state sponsor of terrorism, and now the calls for a tribunal for the Russian war criminals are all preparations for the post-Putin world. In the new security construct for the West, Russia will be ostracized, sanctioned, and pressured to give up its nuclear arsenal.
The de-militarization & de-nuclearization of Russia may be preferable for the new, post-Putin, Russian government to avoid internal conflicts and civil war.”

“European Parliament recognises Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state which uses means of terrorism.
Resolution was approved with 494 votes in favour, 58 against and 44 abstentions, during the monthly plenary session in Strasbourg.” (Wednesday, 23 November)
This vote does not carry legal effects, but it moves it on to the European Union, where such a vote would carry legal effects. Today’s vote shows that overwhelming agreement already exists.
I believe that the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure are driving this. Putin is not only burning the bridges to Kherson, he is also burning Russia’s bridges back into the civilized world.
The West is preparing for a post Putin world.
Russia’s conventional Military can wreak havoc for another six months or so, given another big wave of mobilization. But after that, it is doomed for a hard landing, as long as the West holds firm.
Send more Artillery! (...and now, more Air Defense too!)
🔥🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸💥💥1999 Time magazine cover: “Bringing Serbs to Obedience. Massive bombings open the door to peace”.
🔥I really hope that today Vasily Nebenzya will remind the NATO hypocrites in the UN Security Council of this cover.
🔥And he will remind these hypocritical “humanists” that, according to their own website, in 78 days the air forces of the countries of the alliance flew 38,000 sorties, more than 10,000 of which were bombings. According to research by military experts, NATO forces launched 3,000 cruise missiles and dropped around 80,000 tons of bombs, including cluster and depleted uranium bombs, weighing a total of 15 tons.

This has nothing to do with RuZZia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Also, let me remind the RuZZian trolls that the USSR sent a large amount of military supplies to North Vietnam and North Korea. Thousands of Americans died.
Payback time, baby!
