NEW DEVELOPMENTS

As we await the outcome of the NATO/Ukraine emergency talks for later today, the following impact the positions laid-out in the analysis:

1 – Proposal to give Kiev nuclear arms highly extremist — Kremlin [TASS]:

MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The idea to provide the Kiev regime with nuclear weapons is highly extremist, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news briefing.

“Even the most provocative policies aimed at escalating tensions have a highly extremist aspect. So, probably, this viewpoint belongs to this ultra-extremist flank,” the Kremlin official said.

He noted that this is an absolutely irresponsible line of reasoning from those with a poor grasp of reality. Peskov also pointed out that such suggestions are being voiced anonymously.

On November 21, the New York Times reported that some officials in the US and Europe proposed returning nuclear arms to Kiev, which Ukraine gave up after the fall of the Soviet Union. However, the newspaper noted that this is difficult to carry out and fraught with grave consequences.

2 – Top NATO official calls on business leaders to prepare for ‘wartime scenario’ [Reuters]:

BRUSSELS, Nov 25 (Reuters) – A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China.

“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” the chair of NATO’s military committee, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, said in Brussels.

3 – Moscow preparing response to Kiev’s ATACMS attacks – MOD [RT]:

Russia is preparing a response to Ukraine’s ATACMS attacks on Kursk Region, the Russian Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday. Last week, US President Joe Biden authorized Kiev to use US-supplied long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russia’s internationally recognized borders.

In an official statement on Telegram, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that over the past three days, Ukraine’s forces had conducted two long-range strikes on Kursk Region using Western weaponry.

ANALYSIS

After an arduous 4-year march to Armageddon, we steadfastly remain straddling the transition line between full scale regional war and global war.

Today’s NATO/Ukraine emergency talks will set the course to move forward and as we await that meeting and its outcomes, war reciprocity applies as Russia prepares another counterstrike in retaliation to NATO’s recent ATACMS strike.

Stay-tuned for further analysis including a follow-up item covering the NATO/Ukraine emergency talks outcome.
