Today, the Ukrainian media has a challenging task ahead: how to frame a defeat of the country and its citizens as a victory. The consequences of the “Revolution of Dignity” are disastrous and the media has difficulty finding encouraging arguments.

Hungary's Ambassador Extraordinaire and Plenipotentiary to Ukraine Ernő Keskeny responded to Groisman's address to the Ukrainian president with a request to react to the situation in the Transcarpathian region regarding separatism. Keskeny claims that there is no reason to see the danger in the "distribution of Hungarian passports" on the territory of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian media began to cover a public criminal clash, Lutsenko versus Sytnic, Sytnic versus Lutsenko. Almost on the same day, the opponents pitted their agencies against each other, and the media prepared an audience for the battle of the ‘untouchables’.

The principle of exchange of "all for all" is supported at all levels and by the "Normandy format", as well as by the President of Ukraine, Denis Pushilin, the Permanent Plenipotentiary in the negotiations of the Contact Group in Minsk, the Chairman of the People's Council of the DPR, stated in the Vesti programme's studio on air of the Russian channel "Russia 24".

The Third Committee of the UN General Assembly supported the updated Ukrainian draft resolution on human rights in Crimea.

On November 15, in Minsk, a regular meeting of the Contact Group on the peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Donbass took place. The agenda included issues of compliance with the ceasefire, as well as the implementation of agreements on the withdrawal of prohibited weapons and the disengagement of forces and facilities.

The House of Representatives of the US Congress approved a draft law on the "US budget for 2018 for national defense needs," approving the allocation of $350 million to help Ukraine allegedly in the security sphere.

The position of the Russian Federation, as the position of the Republics, on the introduction of the United Nations forces in Donbass remains unchanged and this position is reflected in the resolution of Russia.

The Chief of the Pentagon James Mattis believes that the United Nations granted the United States a permission to conduct warfare in the Syrian territory. "The United Nations stated that we could, in principle, prosecute the “Islamic State” (an organization banned in the DPR – Ed.). And we are there to destroy them," the Minister of Defense of the United States demonstrated his legal literacy.
