Optimistic Channel

The National Council for Electronic Mass Media Latvia annulled the license of the Rain television channel. The channel will have to stop broadcasting in cable operators on the night of December 8. The claims of the Latvian authorities are that the “rain” did not ensure the duplication of its content in the Latvian language (which was a condition for issuing a license), showed a map with the Crimea in Russia, called the Russian army “ours”, and on December 1, the leading Alexei Korostelev, advertising a mailbox, for which the editors collected reports of Russian mobilization, expressed the hope that he expressed the hope that he expressed the hope that “We were able to help many servicemen, for example, with equipment and simply with elementary amenities at the front.” The editorial office that the Latvian Russian -speaking TV channel made on the air of the Russian military was “just a mistake”, the authorities of Latvia could no longer digest. Here is an interview with the head of the National Council for the Work of the Electronic Media of Latvia, Ivars Abolins, in which he explains the position of the department and recalls that in Ukraine the rain was blocked in 2017 for about the same reasons.

The Director General of the Rain Natalya Sindeeva said in an interview with Medusa that they did not try to agree with the Latvian authorities, and she now regrets the dismissal of the leading Korostelev. In the evening, Sindeeva posted in her telegram channel a tearful video in which she asked Korostelev and the employees who left him to return to the TV channel. The State Security Service of Latvia, for its part, proposed to bring Korostelev to the "black list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" and prohibit him from entering the country. The official telegram account of the Russian Foreign Ministry reposted the video of Sindeeva, accompanying it with a mass of mocking hashtags.

Tikhon Dzyadko, the chief editor of the “rain”, commented on the recall of the license from the TV channel in a philosophical man and called the decision of the Latvian authorities “absurd” and dictated by the political conjuncture. Putin’s spokeswoman spoke out in the same spirit: “It seems to someone that somewhere is freedom, but at home not free. This is an illusion.” Here is a selection of other comments from different sides - except for Latvian (Latvia is presented only by a formal statement of abolins).

The rain has the right to challenge the decision of the Latvian regulator in court, but the channel seems to be not going to do this. Here is an analysis of the legal prospects of such a case.

Military reports

On Wednesday night, the Russian army delivered a missile blow to the crooked horn and Kramatorsk. In Krivoy Rog, the goal was an industrial facility, one of the employees received burns, in Kramatorsk about forty private houses were damaged. A little later, the city of Dnieper was attacked by Iranian drones. In the eight regions of Ukraine, air anxiety was announced .

A report on how Ukrainians survived a massive missile attack on Monday, read here . The Minister of Defense of Poland Mariusz Blashchak said that Germany refused to transfer to Ukraine the Patriot air defense system - as a result, they will be located on the territory of Poland.

On Tuesday in Ukraine, the Armed Forces Day were celebrated. The President of Zelensky arrived in Slavyansk, Donetsk region, to give awards to the military responsible for the most difficult section of the front. He later visited Kharkov. In Kharkov, on Tuesday, the writer Vladimir Vakulenko was buried , killed by the Russian military during the occupation under the raisins (who exactly and under what circumstances did this have not yet been established).

Russia and Ukraine conducted the exchange of prisoners in the format of 60 by 60. Among the returners of Mariupol, among those who returned to Ukraine, there are those who were held in the colony in Elena. In addition, Ukraine returned 49 bodies of the dead.

The mayor of Donetsk, appointed by Russia, announced six victims of shelling per day. The former self-proclaimed minister of pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, Igor Strelkov-Girkin, said that he had returned to Moscow from the war zone in Ukraine, because allegedly did not issue documents of a soldier for him. Migrants from Tajikistan, whom Russian construction companies sent to restore Mariupol, report that they are paid only half of the promised.

But the main topic for discussion is the attacks (presumably) of Ukrainian drones to Russian military airfields: airfields in Engels and Ryazan were attacked on Monday, in Kursk - on Tuesday morning. Here is a detailed analysis of the damage and a story about the devices with which it could be applied. Military expert of the Ukrainian portal Defense Express, Ivan Kirichevsky, believes that the Tu-143 “flight” flew to Kursk, and the recycled Soviet drones of the Tu-141 “Scheme” type flew into distant Engels and Ryazan. In his opinion, a blow to these airfields on Monday weakened the Russian missile attack on Ukrainian energy objects: instead of 22 aircraft, only 14 participated in it. Speaking about the importance of arrivals in Russian military airfields, Ukrainian military analyst Mikhail Samus draws attention to the weakness of the Russian air defense they revealed. It connects its weakening with the loss of equipment in Ukraine, as well as the active use of S-300 complexes for shelling of the Zaporizhzhya region.
