<bos><start_of_turn>user <document> Ukraine's Fate Will Be Decided In Coming Year, Top Zelensky Aide Admits Ukraine's Fate Will Be Decided In Coming Year, Top Zelensky Aide Admits In surprisingly blunt words, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that the coming year will essentially decide the fate of Ukraine and its war with Russia. "A turning point in the war is approaching," Andrii Yermak, who serves as chief of staff for the Office of the President of Ukraine, said Monday. "The next year will be decisive in this regard." He issued the words while appealing for more urgent aid from Washington in an address to the hawkish DC-based Hudson Institute think tank. Yermak sought to assure the audience that Zelensky has "a clear plan" forward even as Western media has by and large soured on Kiev's prospects for success. Much of this is about Zelensky sending envoys to do damage control in Washington at a moment the US administration's focus is off Ukraine and on Gaza events instead. He described advancing plans for "the development of our defense industry, and the deploying of our own arms production. But [that] will be later." But he quickly pivoted to an immediate need for more "weapons right now"--describing that "Russia still has air superiority. It is still capable of producing missiles, doing evasion of sanctions…And we especially need air defense systems." Without doubt, the Zelensky admin is in damage control after eyebrow-raising comments were issued to The Economist early this month by Ukraine's top commander, who admitted there will be no breakthrough and the battlefield situation is in a stalemate. The New York Times had characterized his remarks as "the first time a top Ukrainian commander said the fighting had reached an impasse." So now Zelensky appears to be dispatching his envoys to calm Washington jitters over all the "bad news" of late out of Ukraine. Yermak also sought to assure the Hudson Institute conference that more billions given to Ukraine won't be "charity" but is instead an "investment" in America's "global leadership." He further emphasized Zelensky's continued rejection of ceasefire talks with Russia, unless it's purely on Kiev's terms. "We seek peace, but not just any peace. In our case, ending the war through compromise is nothing more than pausing it. Ukraine will not repeat the mistake of Minsk," Yermak said.

Jens Stoltenberg, the 13th secretary general of Nato, revealed there were live discussions among members about removing missiles from storage and putting them on standby to act as a deterrent. Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Stoltenberg said: 'I won't go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That's exactly what we're doing.' It comes as the head of Kyiv's national security council said Putin could demand a tactical nuclear weapon be used if Russia's army is beaten in Ukraine. Oleksandr Lytvynenko made the comments after G7 leaders warned any use by Russia of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons would be met with 'severe consequences', The Times reported.

'Nato's aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons, but as long as nuclear weapons exist, we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world where Russia, China and North Korea have nuclear weapons, and Nato does not, is a more dangerous world,' he said. Mr Stoltenberg claimed that China is heavily investing in modern weaponry, which includes its nuclear arsenal, which the secretary general said would increase to 1,000 possibly by 2030. He insisted the US and its European allies are modernising their nuclear deterrent as a result of heightened threat from Russia. 'The US is modernising their gravity bombs for the nuclear warheads they have in Europe and European allies are modernising the planes which are going to be dedicated to Nato's nuclear mission,' he said. It comes as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday accused Russia of not wanting peace, after Putin said he would only accept a ceasefire if Ukraine agreed to halt its NATO ascension plans. Zelensky made the accusation at the end of a major diplomatic summit in Switzerland, which more than 90 countries attended, making it the largest gathering in support of Ukraine since the start of the invasion. The conference saw the vast majority of the 90 nations who attended sign a communique in support of Ukraine sovereignty, and also called for Putin to return children stolen during the invasion. </document> <category> URW: Amplifying war-related fears: There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will be employed </category><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>model

Earlier this month, President Biden opted to send the divisive ammunition to Ukraine — and publicly acknowledged he was prompted to do so because the military is running low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds. A chorus of critics — both abroad and at home — decried the decision, citing the grave dangers cluster munitions pose to civilians given their dud rates. Sullivan echoed Biden’s defense — that the US must supply Ukraine with adequate firepower. “We began that process months ago was we anticipated the need for continuing supply Ukraine, but it takes time and that is why we need a bridge from today,” he said, referencing steps to boost production of 155 mm rounds. “We need to ensure that Ukraine has the necessary supply of ammunition to a few months down the road, when we believe we can supply enough of the unitary round to meet Ukraine’s defense needs.” Cluster bombs are prohibited by over 100 countries across the world, including multiple NATO members. Military officials claim the cluster bombs being sent to Ukraine have a dud rate of around 2.35% or less — markedly lower than the roughly 30% and 40% dud rate estimated for Russia’s cluster munitions being deployed against Ukraine. The dud rate refers to the likelihood of the bomblets in the cluster munitions not exploding after being deployed. Bomblets that are duds may detonate long after being deployed. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously committed to having the US help Ukraine scour and clean up duds from those munitions. Sullivan insisted dissemination of the controversial bombs doesn’t undercut US’ “moral authority.” “Our moral authority and Ukraine’s moral authority in this conflict comes from the fact that we are supporting a country under brutal, vicious attack by its neighbor with missiles and bombs raining down in its cities, killing its civilians, destroying its schools, it’s churches, its hospitals,” he said. “The idea that providing Ukraine with a weapon in order for them to be able to defend their homeland, protect their civilians is somehow a challenge for moral authority I find questionable,” he added. Last week, NATO held a summit in Vilinius, lithuania, and ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit there, he slammed NATO allies for their position on admitting the war-torn nation into the powerful alliance. Sullivan reiterated the US position that Ukraine can receive admittance once it wraps up the necessary reforms to meet the alliance’s democracy requirements. “We could have said it more clearly,” Sullivan said, alluding to a NATO communique. “Ukraine’s future will be in NATO.

Earlier this month, President Biden opted to send the divisive ammunition to Ukraine — and publicly acknowledged he was prompted to do so because the military is running low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds.

Throughout multiple paragraphs, the text conveys a sense of the West being on the right side of history, especially regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In doing so, the US is depicted as supporting a country under brutal attack and thus being morally justified in helping Ukraine even resorting to weapons like cluster bombs

<bos><start_of_turn>user <document> Climate Crazies Fail in Attempt to Vandalize Another Classic Work of Art Another of the world’s most recognized and most valuable pieces of art was the target of climate-change activists. Climate crazies tried — and failed — to glue themselves to Edvard Munch’s 1893 painting “The Scream” in Oslo on Friday. It was yet another example of climate change activists using priceless works of art to protest the use of fossil fuels, which climate zealots believe is leading to global warming. In October, climate activists attacked “Girl with a Pearl Earring” by Johannes Vermeer in The Hague. Climate hysterics were also responsible for an attack on Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” and John Constable’s “The Hay Wain” in London over the summer. The new climate-related vandalism fad seems to have begun with an attack on Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” in which a climate fanatic feigned a disability in order to get close enough to smear a pastry on the painting. In addition, “Peach Trees in Blossom” by Van Gogh; “My Heart’s in the Highlands” by Horatio McCulloch; “Tomson’s Aeolian Harp” by J.M.W. Turner; “The Last Supper” by Giampietrino; “Sistine Madonna” by Raphael; and “Haystacks” by Monet have been targeted by climate hysterics since May. As of yet, none of the artwork has been damaged, due to being protected by glass. Video of Friday’s attack shows two young climate vandals attempting to glue themselves to the artwork. Police apprehended the hooligans, and reported there was some glue residue on the glass that protects the paintings. “I scream for people dying,” one of the activists shouted. “I scream when lawmakers ignore science,” the other shouted. The Norwegian climate activist group Stopp Oljeletinga, which translates to “Stop Oil Exploration,” claimed responsibility for the attack. The group demands that the Norwegian government declare “an immediate halt to all further exploration for oil on the Norwegian continental shelf,” and present “a concrete plan for fair adjustment for today’s oil workers.” A spokesperson for the group claimed that the vandalism was an attempt to “pressure lawmakers into stopping oil exploration.” “We are campaigning against ‘Scream’ because it is perhaps Norway’s most famous painting,” said Astrid Rem, a spokesperson for Stopp Oljeletinga. “There have been lots of similar actions around Europe. They have managed something that no other action has managed: achieve an extremely large amount of coverage and press.” But there’s good press and there’s bad press. These crazy antics are of the bad variety. Norway is one of the world’s top oil exporters and provides oil and natural gas to much of Europe, a continent in the midst of a serious energy crunch brought about partly by the war in Ukraine. Russia, the largest supplier of natural gas to Europe, has severely restricted supplies and has shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which it claims was sabotaged. Without much-needed Norwegian fossil fuels, Europe could be in for an extremely cold winter. The art world has acknowledged their concern over the new phenomenon: “In recent weeks, there have been several attacks on works of art in international museum collections. The activists responsible for them severely underestimate the fragility of these irreplaceable objects, which must be preserved as part of our world cultural heritage,” read a statement signed by approximately one hundred gallery directors and museums. These climate crazies are apparently willing to allow a continent to freeze this winter over their fears of an over-hyped “problem” peddled by globalists who flew more than 400 carbon-spewing private jets to COP27 in Egypt last week. If they truly believe the hype surrounding climate change, they’re targeting the wrong thing. </document> <category> CC: Criticism of climate movement </category><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>model

The text criticises climate activism, depicting some activists as extremists and alarmist. The main arguments are that climate activism is dangerous as well as ineffective as the artworks have been protected and climate activists use inefficient methods to fight climate change since they are attacking something which is not responsible for it.

Police apprehended the hooligans, and reported there was some glue residue on the glass that protects the paintings. “I scream for people dying,” one of the activists shouted. “I scream when lawmakers ignore science,” the other shouted. The Norwegian climate activist group Stopp Oljeletinga, which translates to “Stop Oil Exploration,” claimed responsibility for the attack. The group demands that the Norwegian government declare “an immediate halt to all further exploration for oil on the Norwegian continental shelf,” and present “a concrete plan for fair adjustment for today’s oil workers.” A spokesperson for the group claimed that the vandalism was an attempt to “pressure lawmakers into stopping oil exploration.” “We are campaigning against ‘Scream’ because it is perhaps Norway’s most famous painting,” said Astrid Rem, a spokesperson for Stopp Oljeletinga. “There have been lots of similar actions around Europe. They have managed something that no other action has managed: achieve an extremely large amount of coverage and press.” But there’s good press and there’s bad press. These crazy antics are of the bad variety. Norway is one of the world’s top oil exporters and provides oil and natural gas to much of Europe, a continent in the midst of a serious energy crunch brought about partly by the war in Ukraine. Russia, the largest supplier of natural gas to Europe, has severely restricted supplies and has shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which it claims was sabotaged. Without much-needed Norwegian fossil fuels, Europe could be in for an extremely cold winter. The art world has acknowledged their concern over the new phenomenon: “In recent weeks, there have been several attacks on works of art in international museum collections. The activists responsible for them severely underestimate the fragility of these irreplaceable objects, which must be preserved as part of our world cultural heritage,” read a statement signed by approximately one hundred gallery directors and museums. These climate crazies are apparently willing to allow a continent to freeze this winter over their fears of an over-hyped “problem” peddled by globalists who flew more than 400 carbon-spewing private jets to COP27 in Egypt last week. If they truly believe the hype surrounding climate change, they’re targeting the wrong thing. </document> <category> CC: Criticism of climate movement </category><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>model

In fact, I’m not really covering it that closely. I’m really just giving the broad strokes, and giving people a basis upon which they can do further investigation into what is going on if they are so inclined. If readers find the coverage boring, they can skip over it. There is a lot of other stuff on this site. I am covering the Ukraine the exact right amount. I am obligated to do this because so few outlets are covering the war with any truth or honesty. In the English language, the pro-Russia perspective is very difficult to find, with most conservatives who are against the war simply saying that they don’t care either way. “I do care and I actively support those fighting against the Washington and Brussels elite” is an important perspective that must be in the public conversation. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ Mitch McConnell was right when he said the most important thing happening in the world is the Ukraine conflict. He was right for the wrong reasons, but he was right. America Last pic.twitter.com/WKAxPgvHTX — Alex Stein #99 (@alexstein99) May 11, 2022 Someone is going to win this conflict, and someone is going to lose. The stakes could not be any higher. The future of the entire world now hinges on the outcome of this conflict. This is the single most consequential military conflict in all of human history. If Russia loses, the Putin government will collapse, and the US will be able to steamroll the country, break it apart into several pieces. From there, the US will have China isolated, and then eventually break them. This will result in the final establishment of a singular world order run by the Jewish power centers in the United States, Europe, and Israel. If the US loses the war, we are looking at a freefall collapse of the Western economic and military order, a rising China, and a reshuffling of the entire order of power on the planet earth. The reason I support Russia is that I want the US empire to collapse. The reason I want the US empire to collapse is that I do not believe that the US empire is compatible with freedom in the US, and believe that we can only reestablish freedom in this country when the empire falls. If the dollar goes down and the US can no longer export debt to the world through the dollar reserve system, the US government will no longer have the ability to micromanage the lives of American citizens. They will not have the resources (you have to have a lot of excess money to inflict your will on the entire population, which is one reason why people are so much freer in third world countries). We will be free, and we will then be able to return to the natural order in our society, without Jews controlling everything, without trannies, without deadly fake vaccines, without mass immigration, without feminism.

The article also reports that many soldiers had diseases which weren't taken care of.

Nikolai Patrushev, a close Putin ally and the secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said Russia and China should deepen cooperation in the face of the West’s attempt to contain them both. He was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that the talks in Beijing would be “thorough”, at a meeting in Moscow with China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi. Putin will attend the third Belt and Road Forum after an invitation by Xi during a high-profile visit to Moscow in March. Days before that visit, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for Putin’s arrest on suspicion of illegally deporting hundreds of children or more from Ukraine. Moscow denies the allegations and the Kremlin said the warrant was evidence of the West’s hostility to Russia, which opened a criminal case against the ICC prosecutor and the judges who issued the warrant. Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine early last year has triggered one of the deadliest European conflicts since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Putin has pivoted towards China, and Xi has stood by him. Chinese-Russian trade has soared since the invasion, and Russia has sold Asian powers including China greater volumes of the oil it can no longer sell to the West because of sanctions. Putin last visited Beijing in February 2022, days before the invasion, where he and Xi announced a ‘no limits’ partnership. Moscow says this does not mean a military alliance, however. The United States sees China as its gravest long-term “strategic competitor” and Russia as an “acute threat”. China has refrained from condemning Russia’s operation against Ukraine or calling it an invasion, in line with the Kremlin, which casts the war as a “special military operation”. Earlier this year, CIA Director William Burns said Russia was becoming more and more dependent on China and was even at risk of becoming its “economic colony” in time. </document> <category> URW: Praise of Russia: Russia has international support from a number of countries and people </category><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>model

The security document is a follow-up to agreements reached by G7 and NATO members last year, it noted. The statement did not mention any plans for a British military deployment in Ukraine, however, it could be implied. “[The deal] formalizes a range of support the UK has been and will continue to provide for Ukraine’s security, including intelligence sharing, cyber security, medical and military training, and defense industrial cooperation,” Downing Street said, according to a report by RT. The British government has pledged £2.5 billion ($3.2 billion) in military aid to Ukraine over the next two years, including in the form of thousands of military drones, which London said will be the largest of their kind ever received by Kiev.

The US politician told Fox News that he planned to move forward with a vote on an aid bill for Israel this week, without specifying when a Ukraine package would be taken up, or whether it would be tied to funding for West Jerusalem. “This is pure politics, and it’s a disgrace for the world and a disgrace for democracy,” Zelensky told PBS NewsHour. “Nobody cares how many people are dying in Ukraine every day. They only care about their approval ratings,” he added Johnson has since promised to advance the long-stalled Ukraine aid bill sought by President Joe Biden this week, multiple news outlets reported on Monday. Johnson reportedly told Republican colleagues at a closed-door meeting that he intends to allow the House to vote on a standalone bill in the coming days that would ensure additional military aid for Kiev. The House will also be expected to vote on separate bills providing more assistance to Israel and Taiwan. House Republicans have previously refused to back the foreign aid bill unveiled by Biden in October, which includes $61 billion in assistance for Ukraine. The legislation has been held up for months as the GOP tries to force the White House to crack down on the influx of illegal immigrants via the southern US border. Biden’s 2024 election rival, former President Donald Trump, previously urged Republicans to block the bill, arguing against unconditional aid for Ukraine. The delay in approving more weapons for Ukraine has rattled Zelensky and other officials in Kiev, who are blaming mounting battlefield losses on shortages of foreign-supplied ammunition and air defenses. In his interview with PBS, Zelensky reiterated that without the US support, Ukraine “will have no chance of winning” in its conflict with Russia. Moscow, meanwhile, has repeatedly stated that no amount of foreign assistance will change the outcome of the fighting, and has accused the West of escalating the hostilities. </document> <category> URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: West is tired of Ukraine </category><end_of_turn> <start_of_turn>model

Article quotes Ukrainian officials blaming US hesitation in passing the aid bill for Ukraine's battlefield loses. This argument is used to discredit US' approach to the conflict, stating that the US does not care about Ukraine, only about it's approval rates.

<bos><start_of_turn>user <document> Warning US could be ‘hit with most debilitating strike EVER’ in space war with Russia after chilling ISS threat Warning US could be ‘hit with most debilitating strike EVER’ in space war with Russia after chilling ISS threat THE US could be hit with the most debilitating and destructive strike ever in a potential space war with Russia, an expert warns. Relations between Moscow and Washington have plunged to new lows amid the Ukrainian crisis, and Russia’s space agency warned that US sanctions could “destroy” cooperation on the International Space Station. Moscow claimed Washington needs its cooperation to prevent the ISS from falling on the US or Europe. Geopolitical and space expert Brandon J Weichert told The Sun that Moscow has a decade to a 12-year advantage on the US in the galaxies. He said US defenses are in “no way fit” to deal with the challenges posed by Russia. Weichert warned: “We are going to get hit very hard soon in space. It is going to be the most debilitating strike on America, possibly ever. “And we may not recover from it in a timely fashion. This could be how we lose our first war on Earth is losing the war in space.” Weichert slammed the "arrogant" DC political class, claiming they didn’t foresee any rival challenging Washington’s dominance in the post-Cold-War world. Most read in The Sun He said: “They thought there would never be a need for any kind of preventative or security measure because we thought we would always be dominant, and we thought no one would be crazy enough to challenge us. “Well here we are 30 years later, and you have Russia, China, North Korea, and even Iran showing us that it was the wrong assumption.” The expert feared that the US has a 60 percent chance of being pushed out of space by its rivals completely. President Biden unleashed a package of sanctions against Moscow on Thursday after Putin’s forces rolled into Ukraine. And, an additional 7,000 troops will be sent to Eastern Europe to bolster Nato’s defenses. Russia’s invasion of the besieged nation saw Europe plunged into its biggest crisis since World War II. Experts claim the world has not seen a crisis since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s. The flashpoint was the closest point the world came to a full-blown nuclear war. US intelligence feared that Kyiv could fall within 96 hours and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said it’s a “possibility” that Putin could move beyond the borders of Ukraine. The Russian strongman may feel emboldened and seek to move on to other nations if successful. Troops have reportedly already been spotted in the Belarussian city of Brest – 10 miles east of the Polish border. Biden told reporters Thursday: “He has much larger ambitions. He wants to, in fact, re-establish the former Soviet Union. That’s what this is all about.” Weichert said: “If Putin suspects the West will prop up a formidable anti-Russian resistance in a post-invasion Ukraine, he will risk not only nuclear war but also will threaten to attack US assets in space and the ISS. “Putin fully understands the concept of asymmetrical warfare.” He speculated that Moscow will ramp up its threats in cyberspace and nuclear warfare. PUTIN'S THREATS In December, Weichert warned that Moscow is plotting to launch a Pearl Harbor attack on the US in the cosmos. The Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941 left America reeling as Japanese forces bombed the US naval port. In his book, Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, Weichert says that Russian co-orbital satellites, known as space stalkers, have been tailgating US satellites for years. He predicts that the stalkers will eventually hit the satellites, sending them crashing into the ground. Weichert believes Russia is preparing to launch a "devastating" attack on American satellites at the time of its own choice. He warned that before launching an attack on Washington’s satellites, Moscow would "engage in a series of escalations” with neighboring nations. Russia conducted an anti-satellite weapon test (ASAT) in November where it destroyed one of its own satellites that had been in orbit since 1982.

State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the test marked an increase in the risk to astronauts and cosmonauts on the ISS. We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The US Sun team?
