Slava Ukraini! In early 2022 I began a Telegram channel aggregating news from a number of sources daily on the war in Ukraine. In June 2023 I began providing a daily draft for the Ukraine War Brief Podcast collecting news from over 70 sources daily, which formed the basis of the script. While the Podcast no longer exists I have continued to make this Brief available for my followers here on Substack for those who wish to keep up with the news from the war. A version of this Brief will also be made available on The People’s Media Substack for those who should choose to subscribe there.

The Russian Border Incursion
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US based think tank, in its Nov 27 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment reported that Russian forces recently advanced amid continued offensive operations in Kursk Oblast on Novr 27. Geolocated footage published on Nov 26 shows that Russian forces, reportedly elements of the Russian 104th Airborne (VDV) Regiment (76th VDV Division), advanced east of Nizhny Klin (southeast of Korenevo) during a roughly platoon-sized mechanized assault.
Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces also advanced near Darino (immediately southwest of Nizhny Klin) and that Ukrainian forces also counterattacked in the area. Elements of the Russian 106th VDV Division continue operating in Kursk Oblast, and its 51st VDV Regiment is reportedly conducting clearing operations near Darino and Nizhny Klin and elements of its 137th and 119th VDV regiments are reportedly conducting clearing operations and striking Ukrainian positions elsewhere in Kursk Oblast. Elements of the Russian 810th Naval Infantry Brigade (Black Sea Fleet [BSF]), 44th Army Corps [AC] (Leningrad Military District [LMD]), Rosgvardia Spetsnaz, and possibly elements of the 56th VDV Regiment (7th VDV Division) are reportedly operating in Kursk Oblast.

TRANSCRIPT OF ZELENSKYY'S OFFICE SPEECH
SITTING AT HIS DESK:
Dear Ukrainians!
Briefly about today.
Restoration work is still ongoing after the Russian attack.
- Over 90 missiles and nearly 100 strike drones were launched.
- The targets were energy infrastructure and ordinary civilian objects.
- Many were shot down, and our electronic warfare systems performed well, but unfortunately, there were also hits.
Today, Ukraine's Minister of Energy Galushchenko delivered a report on the pace of restoration.
- There is also a decision by the Netherlands to provide additional launchers for the Pаtriot systems, and it is timely. Thank you! Norway has made a significant decision to increase its support for Ukraine next year.
- The Norwegian government and parliament have agreed on a minimum funding level of $3.2 billion for aid to Ukraine.
- On days like these, when we face massive Russian strikes, it is crucial to feel that our partners stand shoulder to shoulder with us.

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in Kazakhstan for a state visit. He was accorded a warm welcome in the Russia-friendly country amid tensions with West over Ukraine conflict and supply of long-range missiles.
Today, in Kazakhstan, Putin once again promoted his missiles – his readiness to kill and destroy.
- To the thousands of missiles that have already struck Ukraine, Putin clearly wants to add thousands more.
- He has no interest in ending this war. Moreover, Putin wants to prevent others from ending this war.
- By wagging his ‘oreshnik’ now he is aiming solely to disrupt the efforts of President Trump that are sure to follow his inauguration.
- That is why Putin's escalation now is a form of pressure aimed at eventually forcing the President of the United States to accept Russia’s terms. We are aware of all the existing threats.
Today, I received a report from Chief of the Defense Intelligence Budanov regarding Russia’s intentions for missile strikes.
Yesterday, I explained the situation during a conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Today, I spoke with British Prime Minister Starmer.
Tomorrow's schedule includes a conversation with German Chancellor Scholz.
We must respond together to Russia’s attempt to make the situation more unbearable and to prolong this war.
- We are interested in peace – Ukraine and all our partners.
- Now is the time to strengthen our positions – the positions of Ukraine and our partners.
- Any Russian blackmail must be met with a tough response. In the way Putin deserves.
And one more thing.
To all our people: when there are air raid alerts and missile threats, we must go to shelters. This is a firm rule – a rule that does not depend on any statements coming from Russia.
- Right now, there may be even more attempts by Russia to spread fear and despair in Ukraine.
- We all need resilience to get through this.
- And we need unity with all our partners.
- Putin is now doing what he always does – intimidating, dividing, and trying to break or destabilize each one of us individually.
- He can do nothing else.
- He loses when he is isolated.
- And he must lose now. In everything.
- And it will be safe for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who helps!
Glory to Ukraine!
