Source Channel posts for November 27, 2022. Turkey is pulling troops to the borders of Syria and strikes at the territory of Iraqi Kurdistan. On the other hand, Iran is pulling its troops to the border with Iraq. Next year, conflicts will only flare up.

NATO says that supporting Ukraine costs Western countries dearly, but! They will continue to provide and even increase assistance to Kyiv in the fight against Moscow. EU countries will allocate at least 18 billion euros for the reconstruction of the country. The United States will give another $4.5 billion the other day. That is, Zelensky will have the resources to continue the war. What can the Kremlin count on? Given that revenue from the sale of energy resources is declining, there are few options. Almost all of them sound something like this: “it is necessary to mobilize internal reserves.” This applies both to the second wave of mobilization and to the search for sources of funding for military spending. In the regions of the Russian Federation, there is already behind the scenes a “tax on war.” It has not yet been formalized in any way, it is not voiced, but it exists. And it is expressed in extortions from state employees. Moreover, money is collected, as a rule, not from officials, but from teachers, doctors, small municipal employees. We counted at least 13 regions where such extortions are already practiced. And judging by reports from the field, they are going to establish a “tax for war” on an ongoing basis. @oreshkins

This is even worse than “I, Mr. Peskov, should not be there.” Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin epicly answered the question of whether his son is fighting in Ukraine. Well, that is, is he not mobilized? “My son is already an adult. He has a family. He does not fight in Ukraine.” Well, that is, if you are an adult and you have a family, then you are not subject to mobilization. Have you heard, mobilized fathers of many children? Come back. Oh, no, your dad is not an ambassador, it only applies to his children ????♂️ We have already said that the Russian Foreign Ministry is the most useless department in Russia. Now you need to add that there are also the most obtuse ambassadors.
