“You’ve lost, Putin!”: Retired Russian general calls for an end to the war in Ukraine
Retired Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov has publicly acknowledged the failure of Putin’s Ukrainian adventure and urged the Kremlin to put an end to the bloodshed.
According to Ivashov, ushing Russia toward militarization and economic and social stagnation, destroying every civilian sector – from education to culture.
“You’ve lost. You failed to foresee absolutely anything,” Ivashov stated, recalling how the Kremlin’s promised easy military operation turned into a catastrophe.
The longer Putin clings to this war, the more lives and future prospects he destroys solely to preserve his own political power. Russia has already become one vast cemetery. Putin is sending Russians to their deaths at an unprecedented rate, clearing the way for Chinese people and other populations to move into Russia. More than 1.5 million Russians have been killed or seriously wounded in pursuit of Putin’s and his oligarchs’ interests.

Today we launched the Vulcănești–Chișinău power line, linking Moldova to Romania and the European grid. For decades, Moscow used energy to blackmail us. No more: Moldova buys zero Russian gas, and two more power lines to Romania are on the way. Thanks to all who made it happen.

A group of hackers published classified data on Russian soldiers killed in the war, from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat. In late August, the total was 450,100 (around 100k per year). It is in line with other independent estimates. There is also a regional breakdown.

How is Russia's network inside Spain organised, and how does it push content?
Our 11-week analysis of Spain's information space shows three layers.
Layer one: the hub. A Telegram channel run from Moscow by Enrique Arias Gil, a Spanish political scientist living under Russian , about 500 readers per post. Its job is not reach. Its job is production: translating Russian hacktivist attack claims into Spanish within the hour, publishing recruitment offers for informants, hackers and soldiers, and doxxing Spanish security personnel.
Everything above it is Russian. Everything below it is built to look Spanish.

Spain votes on Nov 29. Russia is already inside the conversation.
An 11-week OSINT investigation collected 54,737 posts across X, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, mapped 10,773 accounts and 3,284 network links.
The headline isn't "disinformation." It's in Moscow is openly hiring his own countrymen as informants, hackers and soldiers. In Spanish. During the campaign.
Around him, a ring of pro-Russian channels with ~500K subscriptions feeds ready-made narratives to ordinary Spaniards, deciding how every crisis gets explained before the facts arrive.
This is a national security problem dressed up as a media problem.

NEW!!! Kushner says the Trump admin is pursuing a new European security framework built around sovereignty and territorial integrity, with no country holding a veto over another’s security alliances.
The push comes ahead of next week’s U.S.-brokered trilateral peace talks with bu Dhabi.

A ship, highly likely her, was boarded last night, is partly or fully Russian crewed and the ship is now in a Swedish port, possibly detained.

Putin effusively praises Musk and says they are in close contact with him as one of their American partners.
🤔 Putin on Elon Musk:
Elon Musk is an industrial genius. He has more than 5,000 spacecraft in orbit. We are in close contact with our American partners, including Mr. Musk.
It is important to maintain discipline and order in orbit. Both we and our American partners value this, ssues, we work closely together in this field. Elon Musk is a genius, a truly brilliant man.

Content of Tense Conversation Between Budanov and Trump's Team Revealed
Negotiations between the Ukrainian delegation and Donald Trump's special envoys in Miami, as reported by Le Monde, escalated into a conflict. According to the publication, during a three-hour meeting at the eve Witkoff "with irritation" demanded that Kyrylo Budanov, head of Zelenskyy's office, cease strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Budanov, per Le Monde's information, "barely contained his anger" and felt that he was being "treated like a child, trying to teach him how to make money." The Americans presented an ambitious plan for postwar "regional prosperity," which envisioned resuming the transit of Russian oil and gas to Europe through Ukraine, with dividends paid to Kyiv.
Budanov was outraged that such a deal would tie Ukraine to Moscow, after which the negotiations broke off. When the meeting resumed, the Americans proposed accepting a deal for supplies of Russian diesel to the United States.
The publication's sources noted that they had never seen Ukrainians "so upset and alarmed." Zelenskyy's entourage described the situation as "hopeless," since Trump's envoys "think only about business."

📺 “We reported events one-sidedly for years”: Serbian TV apologizes to viewers after Vučić's party loses the election
Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) opened its news broadcast with footage of celebrations following the Student List's election victory — scenes it had failed ening.
“For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly, and failed to ask the necessary questions. For that, we owe our viewers an apology,” news anchor Goran Eror said.
Following the controversy, RTV's acting editor-in-chief Nenad Čačić resigned.
A similar incident occurred in Hungary, where state television also apologized to viewers after Viktor Orbán's election defeat.

🎉🎉 Serbia celebrates Vučić's defeat all night — now he's warning the country about sanctions against Russia
After 14 years of Aleksandar Vučić's political dominance, his bloc has lost the snap parliamentary elections. The opposition Student List, which emerged from mass s, has claimed victory.
According to preliminary figures from Ipsos and CeSID, the students secured around 53% of the vote, while Vučić's coalition received approximately 39%.
The former president acknowledged defeat. He estimated that the winners could secure 135–140 seats in Serbia's 250-member parliament.
But he couldn't resist issuing a warning about Russia. Vučić claimed the new government could impose sanctions on Moscow as early as March or April.
Meanwhile, Belgrade and other Serbian cities celebrated the student movement's victory throughout the night, with car horns, singing, and crowds cheering in the streets.
Final election results are still pending.
