According to Ukraine’s Commander-in-chief General Valeriy Zaluzhny, these latest waves of strikes are all part of a Russian delaying action to regroup ahead of new ground offensives early next year designed to swallow up Ukrainian territory. “Our troops are all tied up in battles now, they are bleeding. They are bleeding and are being held together solely by courage, heroism and the ability of their commanders to keep the situation under control,” Zaluzhny admitted in the interview, saying he did not rule out another attempt to take Kyiv by Russian forces.
Others believe that Russian forces are suffering from serious supply and ammunition constraints all of which make Ukrainian Commander-in-chief General Zaluzhny’s warnings of a forthcoming counteroffensive either premature or aimed at sending out another kind of message. In what has become a familiar display of dogged determination to repair damage done as quickly as possible, reports indicate that power grid operator Ukrenergo has lifted the state of emergency it declared earlier on Friday.

From Ukraine, Syria and Libya to the Central African Republic, Mali, and elsewhere, they have plied their trade on the Kremlin’s behalf.
Currently, Burkina Faso is facing an Islamist insurgency by some of the same groups that are present in Mali, and like its neighbour is ruled by a military junta. The soldier in charge in Burkina Faso is Ibrahim Traore who seized power in September and told US diplomats at the time he would not recruit Russian mercenaries.
According to a statement earlier this month from Burkina Faso’s Council of Ministers, a permit for industrial exploration was granted to the Nordgold Yimiougou SA company in Sanmatenga province in the Centre North region. While 64-year-old Saied might have been democratically elected by a landslide in 2019, he has since made clear that he did not approve of political parties or parliamentary democracy and wanted more authority vested in the office of the president.
“Once again, the rule of one man, all the power gathered by one man,” Marzouki said. “And this is exactly what we didn’t want after the revolution … The will of one man has destroyed Iraq, has destroyed Syria, has destroyed Libya.
