zones inside the enclave, according to the ministry of health and gas, of thirty hospitals only nine electricity continues to work. after the end of the truce, the jewish state cut off access to gas for humanitarian aid, including fuel for generators. over the past 24 hours, israeli strikes have killed more civilians. on october 7, when the idf launched a military operation in response to the hamas attack, almost 16,000 people were killed in the enclave, 2/3 of them were children and women, the palestinian ministry of health reported. western countries provide unconditional support to israel in killing children in gaza. international organizations and the media cannot utter a word in defense of their murdered colleagues, although it was these organizations... for years that lectured us about democracy and law, were they not the ones who spoke about freedom of speech, gas served as a litmus test for the global system, what we witnessed showed us

the true face of many structures; the west is to blame for the failure of the ukrainian counter-offensive - writes the washington post; the victorious mood that prevailed at the beginning of the year is becoming more and more faded, reporters write. the attention of the world community has switched to the middle east, the harms of the armed forces of ukraine, depression and uncertainty. all these unpleasant factors, in the opinion of the author of the article, only indicate that ukraine’s victory in this conflict is unlikely or simply unrealistic. but kiev hesitated, since the armed forces did not have what it needed weapons and training. the command of the armed forces of ukraine requested 17 million shells from the pentagon. this happened during the visit of american defense secretary lloyd austin to kiev. ukrainian media reported this. according to their information , austin, having heard such a request, was surprised and said that now such a large batch of ammunition could not be found all over the world; in ukraine itself , vladimir zelensky’s ratings were declining

; a struggle for power had already begun. natalia gonchurovova knows the details. western media are discussing the figure of vladimir zelensky, writing: that his rating had dropped to 32%. this is two times lower than that of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny. vladimir klitschko reacted to the attack on the level of support of the population, he said that in an unprecedented case for ukraine , he was removed from office by a court decision due to far-fetched reasons, and in general , local self-government is enough. the white house in ukraine is collapsing, this is also recognized by western forces; the leader of the french patriots party, florian philippou, believes that

washington has found the main culprit for its failures. difficult times await zelsky, indeed, a striking interview with the head of nato, jens stolteng, on the german television ard, the time has come to blame his subordinate, zelsky, for the failure, guardian reporters note that the ukrainian leader has found a new friend in him. germany's olaf scholz, but this friendship in front of the cameras is unlikely to play into the hands of the kiev regime, especially since scholz himself needs to think about how to maintain his position. his rating fell to a minimum and, according to bilt, he took only seventeenth place in the ratings of the most popular politicians germany. the head of the bundestag committee on european affairs, toni hofreiter, believes that in the context of the budget crisis, scholz's actions led the country to chaos. he called on the chancellor to apologize to live. kiev treasury, colonel of the european armed forces,

is sure that a turning point has come in the ukrainian issue, everything depends on the decision of the european authorities. ukraine may lose the war if the west does not provide ukraine with the necessary support, this is a war of attrition, everything is decided primarily by resources, and not by morale. you can't, it's a dud the position of the european union countries affected not only monetary tranches. bavarian prime minister markus soedr wants to change the procedure for payments to ukrainian refugees. he believes that it is time for germany to stop paying generous social benefits. benefits for migrants, now more than a million ukrainians have already settled in germany. we must change course regarding all new cases. for everyone else who comes to us, social benefits should be available only after 5 years, and not because truckers are protesting; a huge queue of people has already accumulated on the highway almost half a thousand trucks over tens of kilometers. the traffic is actually blocked. there is a traffic jam more than 20 km away on the hungarian-ukrainian border, where

they were redirected. some of the cars , as eyewitnesses report, the polish police do not allow ukrainian drivers to even go to the grocery store, diesel fuel and water are running out, meanwhile, polish activists who organized protests at the border about ukrainian checkpoints, european media write that every day idle time means huge losses for european countries, for example, latian business, according to economists, will lose about 30 million euros in just a month. natalya goncharova, lead.
