Russia - Ukraine war part ll. News and Discussions

Ukrainian "Sea Baby" naval drones attacked the tankers "Kairos" and "Virat" in international waters off the coast of Turkey. Technical information about the "Sea Baby" drones is available on the channel. The video shows episodes of the drone attacks. It's worth noting that this is the first time tankers have been hit by naval drones. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet responded to the attack; the hits on the tankers could have resulted in oil pollution on the Turkish coast. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the tankers are believed to be carrying Russian oil. Both tankers were sailing empty under the Gambian flag. The first attack on the tankers occurred on Friday. The tanker Virat was struck approximately 35 nautical miles off the coast of Turkey. Today, November 29, the tanker Virat was attacked again. Both tankers have been damaged, but they are afloat, and the crews are safe.

These tankers are part of the Russian shadow oiler fleet and these attacks are consistent with Ukraines campaign to degrade the Russian economy.

It’s USA and NATO who is doing in the name of Ukraine. Ukrainian don’t have balls to such ingenious attack.
 
Noticed the one tanker is clearly empty. Sitting too high in the water.

According to the lengthy analysis [emphasis ZH]:

The fall of Andriy Yermak – Zelensky’s fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn’t a “corruption scandal.” It’s Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn’t raid the Presidential Office by accident.

It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn’t his to command, the peace process isn’t his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas. Because the real story isn’t Yermak’s resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.

The fall of Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s most loyal ally and the de facto power manager of Ukraine, is not a scandal. It is a strike from above. NABU, the U.S.-funded, U.S.-trained anti-corruption bureau, didn’t raid the home and office of Ukraine’s most powerful unelected official by coincidence. And in any other country, his resignation after a corruption raid would be a political scandal. In Ukraine, it’s a geopolitical detonation.


Yermak wasn’t just a chief of staff, he was the shadow architect of the regime, the man through whom every appointment, every oligarchic negotiation, every Western request, and every wartime decision had to pass. And the speed of his resignation makes clear this was less about corruption, and more about pressure — engineered, timed, and executed by the one actor that can pull such a lever, Washington.

For months, the U.S. has been split between the neocons clinging to fantasies of a battlefield reversal, and the rising bloc of realists (JD Vance et. al) who have finally accepted what the frontlines have shown for over a year, Russia has already won. Ukraine’s army is shattered, NATO’s ammunition reserves are exhausted, and American voters are done with a war that offers no victory and no strategy.

The realists now want a controlled, face-saving diplomatic exit, that locks in territorial losses quietly while Washington claims it “secured peace.” Zelensky has resisted every inch of this pivot because peace ends his power. And Yermak was the immovable pillar of that resistance, insulating Zelensky from any pressure to negotiate, the filter preventing unwanted messages from reaching the president. By purging him through a NABU raid, the U.S. has isolated Zelensky.

Meanwhile, the EU is panicking. European leaders fear peace more than war because peace forces accountability... why did they destroy their own industries, torch their energy security, plunge their economies into recession, and funnel hundreds of billions into corruption for a war Washington itself is now preparing to fold?

Brussels supported Zelensky unconditionally not out of conviction but out of sheer self-

preservation. If the war ends, they must answer for the ruin they inflicted on their own populations. Europe needs perpetual conflict to postpone the political reckoning. Washington, by contrast, wants a face saving offramp. This is the real EU–US divide: Brussels wants to delay the inevitable, Washington wants to manage it, and Kiev wants to deny it. Only one of them has the power to dictate the timeline, and it isn’t Europe.

Moscow sees the Western fracture, senses the desperation, and understands its advantage. Putin’s message has been cold and consistent: either negotiations occur on terms that reflect the battlefield reality and addreses the root cause of the conflict, or Russia will continue grinding down NATO’s proxy forces until nothing remains to negotiate with.

For Russia, both paths lead to victory. Russia has no reason to rush, it is the West running out of time, weapons, unity, and credibility. And when European publics finally realize their leaders sacrificed prosperity, stability, industry, and geopolitical autonomy for a war that ended exactly where Moscow predicted it would, the political reckoning will be seismic. Yermak’s fall is not the end of an era, it marks the beginning of the collapse for the EU.

The meeting last week was just the latest example of a long-running rift inside the Trump administration over how to end the war in Ukraine.

During his recent visit to Kyiv, US General Driscoll stated that Ukraine will lose "disputed territories" in the course of continuity of the war

"There are cities and disputed territories that will fall into Russian hands; it is only a matter of time. If we do not recognize this, the decision to continue participating in the war must be reconsidered. How many lives are you willing to sacrifice? The situation will not improve, but will only get worse," Driscoll told Western diplomats. This was reported by Financial Times journalist Christopher Miller.
