It is noted that a few days ago, a border patrol detected several Russian saboteurs moving from the territory of the Russian Federation. The border guards opened fire, and a firefight ensued.

Units of the State Border Guard Service and the Armed Forces have been deployed to reinforce the northern direction. Artillery and mortar crews were deployed.

As a result of the battle, the occupiers retreated, and the enemy's losses are being established, the border guards report.

Russian attempts to break into Ukraine

Russian occupants continue to try to enter the territory of the Chernihiv and Sumy regions. Border guards explained that enemy subversive reconnaissance groups are trying to identify military locations and mine the territory.

For example, in late November, the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed that Russians are continuing to try to infiltrate the territory of Ukraine. Enemy subversive reconnaissance groups try to infiltrate in groups of 4-5 people, sometimes 10 to 16 people.

In addition, border guards have noted an increase in the activity of Russian subversive groups on the border with the Kharkiv region.

According to Keith Kellogg, the US President's Special Representative for Ukraine, the resumption of negotiations between Ukraine and the US on the minerals agreement is a positive signal.

Points of attention

  • The decision on the agreement's fate lies with the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of strategic decision-making in this critical matter.
  • Keith Kellogg underscores the complexity of securing the agreement, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of the process involved.

Kyiv and Washington are still trying to reach an agreement

As Keith Kellogg claims, relations between Ukraine and the United States have finally "got back on track."

This confirms the arrival of a technical team of Ukrainian officials in Washington to discuss a deal that aims to give America significant access to vast reserves of critical minerals in Ukraine.

Trump's special representative drew attention to the fact that American officials underestimated what was involved in securing this agreement.

It's not a simple "yes" or "no." People didn't really understand the process as well as they should have.

Against this background, he also recalled that the final decision on this issue will be made by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

According to Kellogg, the White House is well aware that "no one knows" exactly what minerals are available in Ukraine and what their value is.

What is important to understand is that the last time geological exploration was conducted was during the Soviet Union.
