[LB] Repulsed enemy attacks in Kharkiv region and Donetsk region, Ukraine's reaction to Russian lies about the "dirty bomb", anti-Putin rally in Georgia. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that over the past day, the Defense Forces have repelled attacks by invaders in the areas of Zemlianka and Chugunivka settlements of Kharkiv region, as well as Soledar, Bakhmut, Andriivka, Klishchiivka, Novomykhailivka, Maryinka, Nevelske, Pervomaiske and Avdiivka of Donetsk region. The occupiers launched two rocket and 28 air strikes, fired 65 rockets from multiple rocket launchers. Objects of civil infrastructure in the settlements of Bakhmut, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Novotavrycheske of the Zaporizhia region were hit by enemy attacks. The General Staff also informs that over the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed another 470 Russian occupiers . In total , the Russian Federation has already lost 67,940 military personnel in Ukraine . Other enemy losses are in the news. In the Donetsk region, as a result of enemy shelling, six civilians died , five more were wounded. "Russia is killing civilians! On October 23, it became known about six civilians of Donetsk region killed by Russians: three in Kurdyumivka, two in Velyka Novosilka and one in Bakhmut. Another five people were injured yesterday," said the head of OVA Pavlo Kyrilenko. It will be recalled that in the morning of October 23, the Russian occupiers shelled the hospital in Bakhmut, Donetsk region . Because of Russia's false statements about Ukraine's alleged preparations for the use of the so-called "dirty bomb", Ukraine invites monitoring missions of the UN and the IAEA and demands compliance with the fourth paragraph of the Budapest Memorandum. "Every day, the Ukrainian army frees our land from Russian filth. The thought of a "dirty bomb" is disgusting to us. We invite the monitoring missions of the UN and the IAEA to visit Ukraine. The world must respond to Russia's nuclear blackmail. We demand compliance with Clause 4 of the Budapest Memorandum," he wrote in Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov on Twitter. Clause 4 of the Budapest Memorandum refers to the confirmation of the signatories' obligation to seek immediate action from the UN Security Council to provide assistance to Ukraine as a non-nuclear-weapon State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in the event that Ukraine becomes a victim of an act of aggression or the object of a threat of aggression with the use of nuclear weapons. Dmytro Kuleba responded to provocative statements about the "dirty bomb" . He said that Russia's statement about Ukraine's "plans" to use a "dirty bomb" is an absurd lie, and Russians often accuse others of planning their own. Later, Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that if someone can use nuclear weapons in our part of Europe , then it is only one subject. In addition, the president called on the world to respond to this as harshly as possible. The Kakhov dam was partially mined by the Russian military. Its detonation will cause an ecological disaster, but it will also have consequences for the occupiers. The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense, Kyrylo Budanov, said this in an interview with UP. He emphasized that the work necessary for the complete demolition of the dam has not been carried out. Full blasting will cause flooding of the left bank of the Kherson region. As a result, the Russians will lose even the theoretical possibility of supplying water to the Crimea through the North Crimean Canal. In addition, detonation will completely destroy the possibility of the ZNPP's existence. "Well, of course, they will make it difficult for us to advance for a certain period of time. And this, by the way, is not a very long period of time, it will be somewhere around two weeks. But they will be forced to retreat directly to the Crimea. In other words, if we make a continuous destruction, then this is the scenario. Are they ready for it? I think not," Budanov said. When asked whether the defense forces will be able to retake Kherson by the end of the year, Budanov replied: "I think so." The most complete picture of today will definitely be on our website. Let's hold on and bring Victory closer! |
