    No words: Ukrainian Olympic fencing champion on Russian oligarch’s election as president of International Fencing Federation

    Olympic fencing champion Olha Kharlan has reacted to the election of Russian citizen Alisher Usmanov as president of the International Fencing Federation (FIE).

    Quote: "FIE Congress Presidential Election decision … No, I'm not surprised. Unfortunately. Yes, I am disappointed in the fencing world. Disappointed in those who decided to play ‘this game’.

    120 federations… that's a lot. So yeah. A lot of disappointment. No words anymore," Kharlan wrote.

    The election took place in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Usmanov received 120 votes, while his sole opponent, Otto Drakenberg, president of the Swedish Fencing Federation, received only 26.

    It should be noted that following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Usmanov resigned as president of the organisation in 2022 after being sanctioned by the EU and the UK. He had led the federation since 2008.

    Syrskyi orders deployment of more reserves to Pokrovsk, Kurakhove directions in Donetsk Oblast

    Ukrainian forces stationed near the towns of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove in Donetsk Oblast will be additionally supplied with reserves, ammunition, weapons, and military equipment, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Nov. 29.

    Prior to the statement, Syrskyi visited Ukrainian units in the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions of the front line.

    "The main goal is to personally talk to the commanders who are directly engaged in combat, to solve problematic issues, and provide comprehensive assistance," Syrskyi wrote on his Telegram channel.

    "We continue to deter the enemy and inflict heavy losses in manpower and equipment. I am grateful to our soldiers for their resilience and bravery in the fight against the Russian aggressor."

    Ukrainian officials have increasingly raised concerns about a possible new Russian push in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in the south, just as Russian forces continue to advance in the east, focusing their efforts near Pokrovsk and Kurakhove.

    Russia has captured 234.79 square kilometers (90 square miles) in the past week, which is the highest number in 2024, according to the independent Russian outlet Agentstvo.

    Russia's advance has picked up pace over the past months as Ukraine's military struggles to replenish its ranks, and Western arms are not flowing in as fast as Kyiv has hoped.

    The outgoing Biden administration seeks to speed up materiel deliveries before Trump takes office.

    Washington has provided Ukraine's forces with new capabilities to stall the Russian advance, such as long-range strikes on Russian territory or anti-personnel mines.

  • US suspends strategic partnership with Georgia

    US suspends strategic partnership with Georgia

    The United States has suspended its strategic partnership with Georgia following the Georgian Dream party's decision to suspend the country's EU accession process.

    Source: US State Department statement

    Quote: "The decision by Georgian Dream to suspend Georgia’s EU accession process goes against the promise to the Georgian people enshrined in their constitution to pursue full integration into the European Union and NATO. By suspending Georgia’s EU accession process, Georgian Dream has rejected the opportunity for closer ties with Europe and made Georgia more vulnerable to the Kremlin…

    Georgian Dream’s various anti-democratic actions have violated the core tenets of our U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership, which was based on shared values and commitments to democracy, rule of law, civil society, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and anti-corruption efforts. As a result, the United States has suspended this mechanism."

    Details: The statement said that the Georgian people overwhelmingly support integration with Europe.

    The United States condemned "the excessive use of force by police against Georgians seeking to exercise their rights to assembly and expression, including their freedom to peacefully protest". The United States called on "all sides to ensure protests remain peaceful".

    "We reiterate our call to the Georgian government to return to its Euro-Atlantic path, transparently investigate all parliamentary election irregularities, and repeal anti-democratic laws that limit freedoms of assembly and expression," the State Department said in a statement.

    Background:

    • On Thursday, 28 November, Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze of the ruling Georgian Dream party confirmed that Tbilisi would not be negotiating EU membership "until the end of 2028". Several Georgian ministries have already criticised this decision. President Salome Zourabichvili later stated that the ruling party had declared war on its own people.
    • On the evening of Thursday, a large demonstration took place under the walls of the parliament in Tbilisi and there were clashes with the police. Protesters were brutally dispersed with water cannons and tear gas.
    • The protest continued on Friday evening, and police again resorted to violence against the protesters.
    • On Saturday, protests resumed in Georgia against the decision of the Georgian Dream to abandon negotiations on joining the European Union. The protests are taking place at several locations in Tbilisi, including near the Georgian parliament and the building of the Georgian public broadcaster. In addition to Tbilisi, protests are taking place in Batumi, Zugdidi, Kutaisi and Telavi, with demonstrations planned in Kvareli and Gurjaani.

    Merson predicts Man Utd battering after Ipswich as pundits rails against ‘unconvincing’ Amorim system

    Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim before a match

    Paul Merson believes Man Utd will be “destroyed by four or five goals” if they fail to improve after Ruben Amorim’s first two games in charge.

    Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge of the Red Devils finished 1-1 at Portman Road last weekend, with Marcus Rashford’s early opener cancelled out by Omari Hutchinson.

    The Portuguese boss got his first win against Bodo/Glimt, but Merson believes a battering at the hands of the Gunners is coming on Wednesday if United don’t up their game, with Everton on Sunday offering them a chance to hone their craft in Amorim’s 3-4-3 system that’s yet to convince the pundit.

    “I think even Ruben Amorim was shocked by what happened [against Ipswich],” Merson told Sportskeeda. “If they don’t start winning games, Amorim will have to start answering a lot more questions whether he likes it or not.

    “That is just how big this club is and how the Premier League is in a nutshell. I’m not entirely convinced about Manchester United’s new system under Amorim.

    “After a point in that game, you would’ve thought Ipswich were the bigger club and not United, that’s how it went.

    “You could say everyone was away on international duty, and he did not have enough time. But if that performance was against one of the big boys in the league, Manchester United would have been destroyed by four or five goals!”

    Owen Hargreaves agrees that United could come a cropper against Arsenal without “two super-athletes” as his midfield pairing.

    “I think they’ve got a lot of good players. Do they have the players capable of winning the Premier League or Champions League? Probably not. That’s going to take time to sort the recruitment out,” Hargreaves told TNT Sports.

    “The most important thing is that they get results. Obviously Everton at the weekend is a tough game but at home you’d expect them [United] to win that game.

    “Tough fixtures, especially the Arsenal one coming up after that, but they need to find a way to get results. Today they didn’t play brilliantly but they found a way to win the game which is the most important thing.

    “I don’t think he has the personnel that he had at Sporting.

    “I think if you’re going to play two in there [midfield], they need to be two super-athletes and cover the distances.

    “I’m not sure they have that as such. I think they’ve got some really good players, different players but he might have to tweak it that maybe one of the No.10s drops in and one of the wing-backs gets a little bit higher for the width.

    “But I think playing two in there against an Arsenal or a [Manchester] City, I think that’s going to be really, really difficult.

    “I think it’s a work in progress, we need to be patient but we’re getting there.”

    Almost 40% of Russians think nuclear strike on Ukraine is justified, Russian sociologist says

    Almost 40% of Russians think nuclear strike on Ukraine is justified, Russian sociologist says

    Thirty-nine percent of Russians believe that "the use of nuclear weapons could be justified" during Russia's war in Ukraine, Alexey Levinson, chief of the sociocultural research department at the Russian independent polling organization Levada Center, said at a conference on Nov. 29.

    Levinson cited a poll conducted by the Levada Center in November. The poll results haven't been published yet.

    According to this and previous polls, the number of people supporting Russia's potential use of nuclear weapons has grown incrementally over the past months, as Russia has further escalated its nuclear blackmail.

    In November, President Vladimir Putin approved the country's updated nuclear doctrine and threatened more attacks after the launch of an intermediate-range ballistic missile "Oreshnik" designed for nuclear weapons on Ukraine on Nov. 21.

    Russia has repeatedly issued nuclear threats against Ukraine and the West since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but the threats have failed to materialize.

    However, Putin's talks of a potential nuclear strike "gradually lead to an increase in the proportion of (Russians) who believe it is acceptable, in fact, morally justified," Levinson said during the conference.

    According to the Levada Center polls, the percentage of Russians opposed to using nuclear weapons dropped from 52% in June to 45% in November.

    Polls conducted by the Levada Center throughout the war have found a consistent and overwhelming majority of Russians support Putin and believe the country is on the right path as it continues to wage a war of aggression against Ukraine.

    ‘Don’t overreact’ — Oreshnik missile isn’t as new as Russia claims, experts sayRussian President Vladimir Putin on Nov. 21 announced his country had launched a new type of missile in an attack on Ukraine, a demonstration of military might meant to deter Kyiv’s allies from further support against his full-scale invasion. “There are currently no ways of countering this weapon.…Almost 40% of Russians think nuclear strike on Ukraine is justified, Russian sociologist saysThe Kyiv IndependentChris YorkAlmost 40% of Russians think nuclear strike on Ukraine is justified, Russian sociologist says
