[Korrespondent] 22:48 The situation on the battlefield in Ukraine is more complicated than expected, and Russia “is not planning peace, but a new war,” Stoltenberg said. At the same time, he emphasized that this “is not an argument against support - it is an argument in favor of greater support for Ukraine, because we cannot allow Putin to win.”
22:01 In Kherson, as a result of today’s Russian shelling, one person was killed and eight were injured, said the head of the OVA, Alexander Prokudin. Residential areas of the Central and Dnieper districts of the city came under attack. Homes, cars, gas stations and a car wash were damaged. Some areas of the city were left without power; power engineers will begin emergency restoration work tomorrow morning.
21:29 The situation on the left bank of the Kherson region is getting worse. The presence of several tactical bridgeheads of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the occupied left bank is already a fait accompli. Despite the fact that the leadership of the Ukrainian army has never confirmed or denied it. But Zelensky on November 8 spoke about “good steps in the Kherson region,” and on November 14, the head of his office, Ermak, directly stated that “Ukrainian forces have gained a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper.” For more details, see the article Battle for the Bridgehead .
20:36 The Russians are shelling Kherson - three people are known to be wounded, including a 15-year-old girl, said the head of the OVA, Alexander Prokudin.
20:22 The Czech Republic froze all Russian state assets that were located on the territory of this country. Thus, Prague expanded the list of sanctions against the Russian Federation, created in response to Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. As you know, the Kremlin and Russian businessmen had an incredible love for real estate in the Czech Republic. Read more in the material For the first time in the world .
20:10 Five Italian enterprises have joined the Alliance of Defense Industries, which now includes 74 companies from more than 20 countries, said Minister for Strategic Industries Alexander Kamyshin following a meeting with Deputy Minister of Defense of Italy Luciano Portolano, government representatives and leading Italian manufacturers in different sectors of the defense industry. The parties agreed to join efforts to develop the aviation industry and protect airspace, mine clearance, automobile production and technology.
19:58 All funds from the road fund will be redirected to defense in 2024, said Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko. He clarified that this amount is almost 95 billion hryvnia. According to the minister, the resource will be generated through excise taxes on cars and fuel, as well as other payments that financed the construction and repair of roads.
At the same time, roads needed for military purposes will be financed from the government's reserve fund. In addition, the construction and repair of roads are planned within the framework of projects financed by international financial organizations and governments of partner countries.
19:47 The total losses of the Russian military since the beginning of the full-scale invasion are estimated at 300-400 thousand killed and wounded, The Guardian writes, citing Western officials. They added that in the current battles near Avdeevka, Russia is losing from 500 to 1000 people a day.

The restrictions included Russian companies, legal entities from North Macedonia, the UAE, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as citizens of Serbia, North Macedonia and Montenegro. The US Treasury also imposed sanctions against three tankers flying the flag of Liberia. The companies that own these tankers were also subject to restrictions. They transported Russian oil at a price above the “ceiling” - $60 per barrel.

17:23 Switzerland supported the creation of a special tribunal to investigate the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine, the country’s Foreign Ministry reported. In recent months, 38 countries have supported the initiative.
16:44 The International Criminal Court may open another case against Putin - for attempting to organize an artificial famine in Ukraine, writes The Independent. The international law firm Global Rights Compliance is already working on this. Lawyers found that in December 2021 Russia purchased three 170-meter grain carriers for exporting grain by sea. Also in the first week of occupation, the export of grain from the occupied territories began. Sometimes 12 thousand tons per day were exported. There are other signs of preparation for grain export. If it can be proven that this was a plan, Putin will again be put on the international wanted list.
16:27 As a result of the shelling of the Belozersk community of the Kherson region, one person was killed and four were wounded, the prosecutor’s office clarified.
15:35 The Russian army launched a massive attack on Belozerka, Kherson region. According to preliminary information, one person was killed and two were injured.

14:58 The Turn Around Alive Foundation collected 15 million hryvnia for intelligence officers and told what was in the Black Box, to which Ukrainians donated 230 million hryvnia last year. This money was used to purchase Beaver kamikaze drones with a flight range of up to 800 km. It was they who ended up in the plant for the production of electronics for the X-31, X-35 and X-59 missiles, as well as in the storage of components for ballistic missile systems.
14:09 The Kremlin will not be able to “wait out” the war in Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said during a visit to Kiev: “Russia believes that it can wait out this war and the West will eventually focus its attention on something else. This "This couldn't be further from the truth. In my first talks with President Zelensky in my new role, I made it clear that the UK and our partners will stand by Ukraine and its people for as long as it takes for them to achieve victory."

12:17 Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev said that the regions of the Central Federal District have strengthened their air defense “against the backdrop of attacks by Ukrainian drones.”
12:13 Ukraine produces dozens of analogues of shaheds every month - they are produced at one of the state factories, said the Minister for Strategic Industries Alexander Kamyshin. According to him, the name of this product has not yet been announced, but it has already been possible to enter mass production of these drones. The minister also noted that “tenfold growth or more” has been achieved in many areas due to the development of the private sector and its cooperation with the state.

From the nearest Ukrainian-controlled city to Kotluban, the straight line is less than 700 km.
10:12 New British Foreign Minister David Cameron visited Ukraine on an official visit. This is his first working visit in his new position. Zelensky said that he had a meeting with him: “Weapons for the front, strengthening air defense, protecting our people and critical infrastructure. Thankful to Britain for its support.”
09:49 The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense showed unique footage of the preparation and implementation of raids on jet skis on the territory of Crimea, which were carried out by soldiers of Stugna and the Brotherhood of Timur’s special forces:
09:18 Russia usually attacks Ukraine with drones at night, but today it did it in the morning - at such a time it is also difficult to shoot them down due to the thick fog, said Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat. According to him, about ten UAVs attacked Ukraine today. In particular, Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region, where the airfield is located, was warned about the attack.

09:04 Russia has accumulated more than 800 missiles in Crimea to attack the Ukrainian energy sector in winter, said Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the Southern Defense Forces. According to her, this is data from Ukrainian military intelligence: “We know that the enemy has deployed a powerful military resource hub on the Crimean Peninsula. In particular, Caliber-type missiles are concentrated there, Onyx-type missiles are also launched from the Crimean Peninsula. The enemy is accumulating potential - this obviously".

The Kremlin will not be able to “wait out” the war in Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said during a visit to Kiev: “Russia believes that it can wait out this war and the West will eventually focus its attention on something else. This "This couldn't be further from the truth. In my first talks with President Zelensky in my new role, I made it clear that the UK and our partners will stand by Ukraine and its people for as long as it takes for them to achieve victory."
Hey Dave, Putin is not Gaddafi and Russia is not Libya. Your plans might not be so easy to implement this time.

[Korrespondent] The intensity of fighting on the left bank of the Kherson region is increasing
Ukrainian forces managed to transfer three brigades to the left bank of the Dnieper, the Guardian reports, citing unnamed officials.
The situation on the left bank of the Kherson region is getting worse. The presence of several tactical bridgeheads of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Russian-occupied left bank of the Kherson region is already a fait accompli. Despite the fact that the leadership of the Ukrainian army has never confirmed or denied it. But President Vladimir Zelensky on November 8 spoke about “good steps in the Kherson region,” and on November 14, the head of his office, Andriy Ermak, directly stated that “Ukrainian forces have gained a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper.”
“A significant force, described as three brigades, took up a position on the other side of the Dnieper, which the Russians were unable to dislodge, although it is unclear how many armored vehicles the Ukrainian military was able to transport across the river,” The Guardian quoted Western officials as saying.
Despite the UAF's success, officials expect Ukraine will likely only be able to make gradual progress “one village at a time,” at a pace similar to the summer counteroffensive in the Orekhiv and Velyka Novoselka areas.
The geographic scale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ efforts on the left bank of the Kherson region is much greater than currently reflected by any available open source, ISW analysts stated. On November 15, these operations continued: Russian “military correspondents” stated that Ukrainian forces carried out allegedly unsuccessful attacks from the center of the village of Krynki (30 km northeast of Kherson, 2 km from the Dnieper). According to Russian sources, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also attempting attacks near Poima and Peschanivka. OK South representative Natalya Gumenyuk said that Ukrainian troops in the Kherson region are pushing back Russian forces 3-8 km from the eastern bank of the Dnieper. At the same time, the occupiers are trying to stop this advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, ISW experts write.
The Wall Street Journal, citing Ukrainian fighters, reported that the occupiers are using heavy mines, snipers and heavy artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and airstrikes to stop Ukrainian forces on the left bank of the Dnieper. Russian “military correspondents” also stated that the occupiers, during their own counterattacks, allegedly forced Ukrainian forces to withdraw from some areas south of the village of Krynki, in particular near the Cossack Camps, as well as at the Antonovsky Bridge. However, ISW cannot substantiate these claims by the occupiers.
NO LOCKS IN THE AIR
Marine of the 36th brigade Valery Prozapas, commenting on the information regarding the fighting on the left bank of the Kherson region, said that routine combat work was underway and there was no need to “draw castles in the air.”
“When this all goes live, it doesn’t reflect very well on the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces units. The situation there is not easy. I urge everyone not to draw castles in the air for themselves,” he said on Radio Liberty.
According to him, quick breakthroughs on the left bank should not be expected; the battle will drag on not for one week, but most likely for more than one month. Because the battle formations of the occupying army are very well prepared for defense.
Prozapas stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are working on the left bank of the Dnieper, but it is impossible to talk about any strategic, breakthrough actions.

[Regnum] The FSB detained a resident of Rostov-on-Don on suspicion of financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the past, the woman worked in a government agency. Interfax was informed about thisby the regional FSB department.
In particular, since May 2018, the suspect made about 60 transfers to Ukrainian bank accounts, which were used to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In total, she transferred over 330,000 rubles.
The FSB noted that the Rostov resident realized that her donations were used to purchase uniforms and ammunition, as well as to supply specific Ukrainian units. At that time, in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out the so-called “ATO” - a punitive operation in the Donbass.
A criminal case was opened against the detainee under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of Russia (treason). She could be imprisoned for up to 20 years.
The court arrested the suspect during the investigation.
Regnum news agency reported that in October, Khabarovsk resident Alexander Vechirko was accused of treason in the form of financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine through cryptocurrency. Using cryptocurrency instruments, he transferred personal funds through third parties living in Ukraine to the account of a foreign charitable foundation for the needs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On November 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on blocking sites that raise funds for the Ukrainian Armed Forces . The law established new standards according to which resources with proposals to raise money for Russia’s opponents in the context of military operations and counter-terrorism operations are subject to blocking. Resources that indicate methods of financing will also be blocked.

We have the same problems everywhere else as well. Life is taking the Greatest Generation.
[ColonelCassad] On November 16, in Sukhumi, at the age of 102, the only surviving woman who took part in the Battle of Stalingrad died - Valentina Shulgina lived to see the 75th anniversary of the turning point battle.
The last veterans are leaving. By the 30s of the 21st century, there will no longer be living witnesses of the Great Patriotic War. And then we will only have documents, chronicles, recorded memories and a huge cultural layer associated with that war. In the 90s and later, they tried to destroy this memory and take it away from us. As it was correctly noted, “The Great Patriotic War for a long time remained a lonely obelisk in the desert of unconsciousness,” being the main bond in our country, far ahead of abstract patriotism, religion or anything else. Every May 9, every “Immortal Regiment” (taken away from the liberals) was living evidence of this.
The more valuable is the memory of that war and the more important is it to achieve success in the current war, so as not to disgrace our ancestors who defeated Nazism then. Our task is to conform so that we don’t feel ashamed in front of them. And this is also a war for memory, since we see that our enemy, the main enemy who is hiding behind the Ukrainian or Baltic Nazis, is waging a consistent war against the memory of the Great Patriotic War, rewriting history, destroying monuments and desecrating graves. This is another front in the ongoing war, which goes beyond the war in Ukraine. And also in memory of our heroes of the Great Patriotic War, we must win it.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] Footage of a second strike has appeared in Dimitrovo (Zaporozhye region).
This is the same village where the award ceremony of militants from the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was previously covered with Iskander with a large number of dead, including part of the brigade leadership (the brigade commander accidentally escaped death) Last month a rocket strike hit a funeral of a known Ukrainian commander, a strike which caught a number of top commanders for assault battalion "Aidar" (part of the 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade) characterized by Ukrainian media as a hit against a civilian establishment, which was, according to the Russians, a hit against a known target. This took place in Groza in Kupyansk in Khar'kov oblast.
The only reference in Rantburg's archives to the village of Dimitrovo in Zaparozhe is in a Russian summary published ten days ago which referred to a "leveling strike," without giving specifics.
Now They also covered the location of the 3rd Operational Brigade of the NSU (military unit 3017). All in the same Dimitrovo. Not far from the previous arrival.
As the Nazi Mosiychuk whined yesterday, there were a large number of dead in the building, basements formed.
The missile strike appears to be a hypersonic strike, which means the targeting was approved at the top command levels of the Russian ministry of defense.
There are only two arrivals in the video. Then there was also a third place where the rubble was cleared, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine still covered quite a few people.
The Nazis demand that an investigation be opened and a criminal case opened into what is happening in Dimitrov. They are also looking for the gunner who surrendered to the location. However, given that the strike is calmly controlled by our drone, it’s not just about the gunners on the ground, although they certainly help defeat the Ukrainian occupiers - I remind you that this is part of the occupied Ukrainian Armed Forces of the Zaporozhye region of the Russian Federation.
[Regnum] Employees of the Stavropol regional Investigative Committee began an investigation after the death of the ex-commander of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army Vladimir Sviridov and his wife Tatyana , Izvestia reported on November 16
“Investigative bodies of the regional department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation are conducting an investigation into this fact. “All the circumstances of the incident are being established,” the message says.
The bodies of the couple were found on November 15 in a private house in the village of Adzhievsky in the Mineralovodsky district of the Stavropol Territory. As a source told IA Regnum , a preliminary examination showed that they died a week ago. At the same time, gas service employees did not identify any faults in the gas pipeline.
It is also known that in the house of the victims there is an automatic gas water heater with electronic control. According to preliminary data, a week ago the equipment malfunctioned during a power outage in the village, the fuse stopped working, and pensioners suffocated from carbon monoxide .
Because the fuse tripped when power was restored, the gas leak stopped. The room was ventilated within a week, so the specialists who arrived on site did not find any excess concentration of harmful substances in the air. Almost like it was never there...
Aviation Lieutenant General Vladimir Sviridov commanded the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Army of the Russian Armed Forces from 2005 to 2009. After graduating from the Stavropol Higher Military Aviation School of Air Defense Pilots and Navigators in 1979, he began his service in the flying specialty. He also served as a squadron commander in the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany.
He also served in command positions in the Transcaucasian and North Caucasian military districts. After graduating from the Military Academy of the General Staff in 2022, he was appointed deputy commander of the Air Force and Air Defense Army.

"...Yeah, Vlad and Taty clearly slipped in the shower, and grabbed the radio by the cord on the way down, pulling it in with 'em. I mean, if I had a kopeck for every time I've seen this I wouldn't have to serve on these investigative committees, amirite Tovarich?"

Um... that is a Strategic nuclear missile MRV. We've had them since the 60s. The public data for the Minuteman is Mach 23 and the Trident is Mach 24.
Is it just me or is the Russian propaganda getting worse and just plain lazy? Used to be entertaining.
