The Christmas spirit does live right outside of Bakhmut, however.

And in Kyiv.

x The Christmas tree is being mounted in downtown Kyiv 🇺🇦.



It is hard to believe what joy this tree, paid for by private donations, is for people in this capital city.



Must look for reasons to be joyous - when all around is so dark. pic.twitter.com/QAoLXHMuIG — Jason Jay Smart (@officejjsmart) December 4, 2023

You just can’t get good help these days. These guys took the money and ran.

x 💰 Earning money in the Russian Army. How eight Nepalese “dumped” the Ministry of Defense and fled from the Northern Military District ‼️🤣🤣🤣

Each of them received 195 thousand rubles , which are issued upon the initial signing of a contract with the RF Armed Forces. Moreover, they even managed to be delivered to the unit located in the Rostov region.However, the heroes of our story decided that “bird in hand” was better, and they did not intend to risk their lives. Without spending even two weeks in service, on the night of November 16-17, 2023, eight Nepalese escaped from the unit’s location. A search has been announced. They are charged with Art. 337 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - unauthorized abandonment of a unit. As of December 1, 2023, they were never found.

His obit will probably say he died heroically defending Mother Russia.

Yesterday morning in the occupied village of Knyaze-Grigorivka, Kherson region of Ukraine, 37-year-old sergeant Mikhail Khokhlov shot and killed his commander, 37-year-old lieutenant Ivan Krivosheev (pictured) with an AK-74 assault rifle. A source told ASTRA about this. Khokhlov wounded another colleague - this private was hospitalized with a through wound to the neck.

The following four tweets are meant to go together — at least by me.

x Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolai Denkov is sure that the majority in the parliament will reject the veto imposed by the country's president Rumen Radev on the agreement on the supply of armored vehicles to Ukraine.https://t.co/ClR2qGlOzg https://t.co/noYe9xZgWq — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) December 4, 2023

Another right-wing asshole in Europe.

x The leader of the right-wing Freedom Party, which won the Dutch parliamentary election, Geert Wilders, has confirmed in an interview with the Canadian portal Rebel News that he opposes arms supplies to Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/3lW0oteFR9 — NEXTA (@nexta_tv) December 4, 2023

Somebody needs to take the president of Bulgaria and the incoming Dutch prime minister on a tour of this place.

x The rescuers pulled the body of the 8yo girl from the ruins of her home in the Novohrodivka town. Her parents are still missing. How come Ukraine's self-defence from russian genocide isn't urgent? Why is Western aid slowing down instead of stepping up? pic.twitter.com/oOfEhFW74v — Olena Halushka (@OlenaHalushka) December 4, 2023

Indeed.

x Being Ukrainian and getting lectured on the perils of NATO by people from NATO countries feels like living through a zombie apocalypse, trying to get into a bunker, and having people in the bunker tell you you’re making a mistake because the food in the bunker isn’t that good. — Oleksandra Povoroznyk 🇺🇦 (@rynkrynk) December 1, 2023

The EU should tell Orban to go back to Budapest and fuck off. And when he gets there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep fucking off until everyone gets tired of hearing him bleat like a fucking Russian sheep. Then fuck off again.*

*adapted from a popular greeting card

I guess Russia ran out of kindergartens to bomb.

x Today Kherson Museum was damaged for the third time after the attack on the city. The collection of the museum was looted last year by russians. Oliz brand and @U24_gov_ua created a collection with looted art from @ArtMuseumKs. All the money will go to the museum.

Has anyone checked the sidewalks in front of tall Moscow buildings?.

x Russian Grey Zone channel has stopped publishing on its TG channel, and no one has heard about the admin since November 20 pic.twitter.com/jT8KUWiaLA — PStyleOne1 (@PStyle0ne1) December 4, 2023

If there is a better example of selfish assholes somewhere, I’d like someone to point it out to me.

x Protesters at the Polish-Ukrainian border reportedly pushed a US-donated patrol boat for Ukraine to the back of the line. Does anyone still believe that the blockades at the border are not impacting the delivery of military & humanitarian aid to Ukraine?
