Former CIA Director David Petraeus: There are reports — I talked to specific corps commanders who said they have cases in which they’ve actually captured a Russian soldier who was in the military less than two weeks. That includes taking the oath, drawing your equipment, being transported to the front. There’s not much training in there. There’s certainly no integration into the unit.

EU says it regrets US' visa denial extension for Palestinian UN delegation The European Union said on Saturday it regrets the United States' decision to extend the denial of entry visas for members of the Palestinian delegation for the upcoming session of the UN General Assembly in New York. The bloc urged the US to reconsider the decision, it added. The US State Department earlier this week said it would extend sanctions denying visas to Palestinian Authority officials and members of the Pale

Zara Larsson said "I will not be going to Abu Dhabi" in an Instagram comment after fans pressured her over the UAE's role in arming Sudan's RSF terror group. The date was a Dec. 3 F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concert.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus: There are some countries in the Middle East, for example, that have bought interceptors for years. Yes, they’re under pressure from Iran. Yes, they need to keep a substantial number, but some of those, perhaps in return for help from Ukraine to deal with some of the issues again with Iran or the Houthis in Yemen, could in fact loan them.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus: Ukrainian forces are now killing or wounding more Russian soldiers each month than Russia is mobilizing each month, which should be something that worries those in the Kremlin considerably.
Boris Johnson: I think the whole logic that Russia somehow lost something because of Ukrainian independence is completely wrong. What is bad for Russia about having a free and prosperous neighbor? But there is an answer as to why it matters specifically to Putin. Putin wants to preserve a particular political model. He does not want democracy, and Ukraine presents an alternative future for Russia: a free country, a free press, a pluralistic society, free media. He hates that. That is the prob

Boris Johnson: We constantly think that if Putin stops, he will immediately be removed. But he can simply write another one of his stupid historical essays and say, "I have found some new old documents from Russian history about which lands are actually the historical lands of Russia." And it turns out, my friends, that they are exactly the territories we currently control. Then he can say, "That’s it. We have accomplished the mission. There are no more Nazis," and so on. That is what he nee

Boris Johnson: The British and the Russians are two great peoples, two great countries. We fought side by side in the Second World War, and we understand that we can have common interests. But present-day Russia is behaving terribly. Many years ago, I tried to improve relations between Britain and Russia. And where did that get us? Nowhere. They used Novichok in Britain. An innocent British citizen died. It is disgusting and revolting.
Boris Johnson on Russia: Russia’s problem is that it cannot let go of its empire. The British had the biggest empire the world had ever seen. At one point it was roughly seven times the size of the Roman Empire — and we gave it up. The Russians need to let Ukraine go. It is like that old piece of relationship advice: if you love someone, let them go. If they come back, they’re yours. If they don’t, they never were. They have to let Ukraine go. The age of empires is over.

Russian forces attacked hromadas in the Nikopol district with drones, artillery and aerial bombs, injuring two people and damaging a shopping centre, infrastructure and a car.

Just months before France's presidential election, rising fuel costs due to the wars in Iran and Ukraine have pushed the nation to the verge of crisis. In an attempt to address public anger and energy threats, French President Emmanuel Macron gathered the nation's major party presidential candidates at the presidential palace. But the main takeaway from this meeting was perhaps Macron's warning about Russian "hybrid attacks"... what exactly does he mean and how serious is the threat? Details and
Polish PM Donald Tusk: We are in the anti-ballistic coalition with Ukraine. As of today, Poland is part of this great project. During talks with President Zelensky, we established the framework for this cooperation. This will mean much safer European skies, and therefore a safer Polish sky as well.

In the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast, Russia is holding sham elections to its State Duma (Russia's lower chamber of parliament) using themed polling stations styled after different historical eras – from the Russian Empire to the post-war USSR.

Robert Kraft recently pressured Ed Sheeran to drop Macklemore from his tour over pro-Palestine comments. Then claimed he's spent "decades" supporting Palestinians and pledged $2M in aid. But an Intercept analysis of tax records tells a different story. Since 2006, Kraft's foundation donated $196K to Friends of the IDF (earmarked for promoting education for young Jewish soldiers), $3M through his LLC to AIPAC's super PAC (which targets pro-Palestine candidates), and $20M t

Beirut insists on UN presence An informed source told Asharq Al-Awsat that the proposed European force “is being discussed on a separate track from the southern Lebanon file and is
