“Russia’s neo-imperial ambitions are crumbling,” says Ukraine’s UN envoy

Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Serhiy Kyslytsya, delivered a sharp rebuke to Russia during a UN Security Council meeting on December 16. His comments came in response to thinly-veiled threats from Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya, who a day earlier touted Russia as a global superpower.
The Ukrainian diplomat dismissed Nebenzya’s rhetoric as delusional, claiming that Russia’s designs are steadily falling apart.
“Putin’s representative may threaten this Council and indulge in illusions of representing a superpower. But the reality is starkly different: Russia’s excessive neo-imperial ambitions are crumbling without respite,” he said.
Kyslytsya alluded to Russia’s intervention in Syria, describing it as a costly and pointless endeavor for the Kremlin. His wry prediction sees the same thing happening to Russia’s activities in Africa and its ongoing war in Ukraine.
“Putin’s so-called ‘short victorious war’ against Ukraine will end in disgrace. He knows this, just as he knows his own portraits will soon be ripped to pieces—not just in Syria, but in Russia too,” Kyslytsya emphasized.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
