Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Korrespondent] 23:29 Any use of nuclear weapons by Putin will have disastrous consequences for him and his country, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a meeting of G7 foreign ministers.
He also noted that capping the price of Russian oil is a key way in which the G7 is trying to punish Russia for invading Ukraine: “This is to ensure that energy continues to enter the market to meet demand. And secondly, to limit the ability of President Putin to fill out of their pockets with energy revenues to fuel and finance the war against Ukraine. I believe this mechanism will help us do just that."
22:47 Kuleba said that he spoke with Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Jolie: they discussed the next steps after the G7 ministerial meeting, as well as preparations for the summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Cambodia next week and the Francophonie summit in Djerby. "It's good to know that Canada will provide even more assistance to clear mines in the liberated territories," the Foreign Minister wrote.
22:30 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the most brutal hostilities throughout the week were concentrated in the Donbass - these are Bakhmut and Soledar: "We are holding our positions. In these and some other directions in the Donetsk region, the Russian army has already spent so many lives of its people and as much ammunition as, perhaps, did not spend in two Chechen wars put together."
The President emphasized that at the same time, Russia hides from its society both the real level of losses and mobilization: "And this absolutely insane stubbornness of the owners of today's Russia is the best indicator that everything that they tell some foreign leaders about their alleged readiness to to negotiations... And it is very good that the world perceives Russian rhetoric as it deserves, namely as a lie, and pays attention only to what the terrorist state really does, and does not say."
22:16 The United States is informed of Ukraine's needs for the Kherson operation and will provide the necessary assistance, Jake Sullivan said: "I asked again today what is needed, and I am confident that we will be able to provide what is needed for this battle."
Biden's national security adviser also emphasized that the United States refuses to negotiate with Russia without the participation of Ukraine: "President Biden has clearly said that the guiding principle of his policy throughout the conflict is "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," and this remains. In addition, according to Sullivan, the conditions under which the Russians are ready in principle to conduct a dialogue are unacceptable, since in fact all conversations should begin with the complete de-occupation of Ukraine.
22:13 The United States is informed of Ukraine's needs for the Kherson operation and will provide the necessary assistance, Jake Sullivan said: "I asked again today what is needed, and I am confident that we will be able to provide what is needed for this battle."
22:09 The European Commission reported that 17 EU countries sent 500 power generators to Ukraine through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism to ensure Ukrainians' access to electricity and heating.
22:06 In the liberated territories of the Kherson region, in the village of Vysokopolye, law enforcement officers found three bodies with traces of violent death. According to preliminary data, during the occupation of the settlement, the Russian military shot three civilians and buried them near private households, the Office of the Prosecutor General said.
21:27 Zelensky presented US presidential adviser Jake Sullivan with the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, II degree for strengthening interstate cooperation, supporting state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
21:14 The Pentagon creates a new command to oversee the process of training and equipping the Ukrainian army by the United States and its allies, writes The New York Times. U.S. officials say the Pentagon's commitment to supplying Ukraine with arms, as well as the creation of a new command, indicate that the U.S. is preparing for a long-term threat from Russia to Ukraine and its neighbors.
The new command, called Security Assistance Group-Ukraine, or SAG-U, is to streamline the training and assistance system that was put in place on the fly after the Russian invasion in February. According to the military, the main candidate to lead the group is Lieutenant General Antonio A. Aguto, Jr., head of the US First Army headquarters, located in Rock Island in Illinois.
20:59 Bipartisan support for Ukraine will continue regardless of the results of the elections to the US Congress, Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan said during a visit to Kiev. He recalled that congressmen adhere to a similar point of view, including two senators who visited Kyiv this week - Democrat Chris Koons and Republican Rob Portman.
Sullivan stressed that this is not only about weapons, but also about financial assistance: "We plan to ensure the availability of resources that can fuel the Ukrainian economy, restore the energy system, help displaced people and cover other humanitarian needs."
20:43 Radio Liberty published satellite images of three Belarusian training grounds and the airfield in Machulishchi. They show that the number of tents for the Russian military has increased at the training grounds, field camps, hospitals and parking lots of Russian equipment have appeared. Three Russian MiG-31Ks are clearly visible at the Machulishchi airfield, near one of them lies an object that looks like a Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile.
20:14 Today, around 16:00, Ukrainian defenders shot down two Caliber-type cruise missiles fired by the Russians from the Black Sea. One missile was shot down over the Kherson region, the second - over the Mykolaiv region, the Pivden air command reported.
19:23 The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with a new military aid package worth 120 million euros. According to the Ministry of Defense of the country, together with the United States and the Czech Republic, they will supply 90 modernized and overhauled T-72 tanks with a total cost of 45 million euros. It is expected that Ukraine will receive part of the tanks next month.
18:56 CNN writes that since October 24, 1,300 Starlink terminals have been disabled for the Ukrainian military. According to the publication's sources, the terminals were turned off due to "lack of funding." Specifically, the Ukrainian military paid $2,500 a month to keep each of the 1,300 blocks connected. Therefore, until September, the total cost increased to almost $20 million. As a result, the military could no longer afford to pay for Starlink. They turned off the terminals that Ukraine acquired in March from a British company and used for military operations.
18:45 According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in the village of Kamenka, Zaporozhye region, the enemy moved the personnel of his units, turned off the checkpoints and the commandant's office. There is a low level of moral and psychological state of the personnel of the enemy units located in the Zaporozhye region. These are the consequences of unsatisfactory conditions of detention, poor equipment, constant delays and incomplete payments of monetary allowances, as well as the dismissive attitude of the military leadership towards subordinates.
18:02 The Armed Forces of Ukraine are getting closer to Kherson, the Russians are cleaning blockopsts in the city and declaring a round-the-clock curfew. Read more in the material The situation in Kherson .
17:54 The Pentagon has announced a new $400 million military aid package to Ukraine. It will include, in particular, 45 T-72 tanks, 250 M1117 armored personnel carriers, 40 armored boats, and 1,100 Phoenix Ghost drones.
17:13 The Associated Press published a video investigation of the events in Bucha that took place in the first month of the Russian invasion. Journalists, together with OSINT investigators, analyzed hundreds of hours of video recordings from CCTV cameras and intercepted telephone conversations of the invaders, where they talk about the executions of civilians, and reproduced a 3D model of what is happening.
17:06 In Kherson, local "authorities" have announced a round-the-clock curfew.
16:41 In Vladivostok, the authorities are preparing for mass actions of disobedience in connection with the opposition of the local population to mobilization. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, in the Primorsky Territory of the Russian Federation, the police and special services are planning measures to counter possible acts of disobedience and strengthen the police regime in the region. It is planned to check the operability of video surveillance systems of institutions and organizations with the provision of remote access to representatives of law enforcement agencies. It is assumed that in the coming months, even at mass events sanctioned by the authorities, frame metal detectors will be installed at the entrance.
The vast majority of the local population does not support the "special operation" and mobilization on the territory of the region. Among the reasons are the residence of a significant number of ethnic Ukrainians in the region and the loss of the RF Armed Forces during the hostilities.
16:13 The G7 countries, following the two-day meeting, issued a joint statement, in which, in particular, they called for the extension of the grain agreement and announced plans to create a coordination mechanism to support the restoration of Ukraine. They also rejected Russian information about Kyiv's intentions to use a "dirty bomb".
In addition, the G7 countries intend to complete the introduction of a price ceiling for Russian oil in the coming weeks. In addition, the imposition of economic sanctions against Russia and other countries providing military support to the war in Ukraine will continue. In particular, the G7 foreign ministers accused Iran of transferring drones.
16:06 There is no confirmation of the arrival of Iranian ballistic missiles in Russia yet - there is only information about the conclusion of relevant contracts, Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said: "There is confirmation of the concluded contracts and receipt of all necessary agreements and approvals. There is confirmation that that a batch of more than a thousand units can take place, these are not only missiles, there are different weapons. Now we are talking about the next batch - these are still drones, these are 200 drones that are already on their way to Russia. This is confirmed information."
16:03 From Friday, November 4, the sale, manufacture and import of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on the territory of the de-occupied settlements of the Berislavsky district of the Kherson region. The corresponding order was signed by the head of the Berislav regional military administration, Vladimir Litvinov, in order to ensure public order in the liberated territories.
15:58 Putin said that Russia respects the Ukrainian people, but the West behaves as if Ukraine does not exist - "throws Ukrainians into the furnace." He also stated that "a clash with neo-Nazis was inevitable, brought to the stage when the situation became deadly for Russia."
15:37 Reznikov explained that the weather conditions and the relief of the Kherson region somewhat slow down the movement and advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also noted that the behavior of the occupiers, indicating an alleged escape from Kherson, may be another IPSO of the enemy. At the same time, the minister did not rule out that the Russians are ready for a "goodwill gesture" in Kherson.
15:05 The United States plans to announce a new military aid package for Ukraine today, Reznikov said.
14:53 Reznikov said that the Russians had used up almost all Iranian kamikaze drones from the first batch. However, there are other contracts, according to which it is planned to supply from 1500 to 2400 drones.
14:22 Putin signed a law that allows conscripting citizens with unexpunged convictions for a number of serious crimes as part of the mobilization, as well as allowing them to perform alternative civilian service during the period of mobilization.
14:00 The Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on the procedure for booking those liable for military service. According to the document, employees will be booked:
- bodies of state power and local self-government, if their work is necessary to provide for these bodies in wartime;
- enterprises and organizations that have been assigned mobilization tasks, if employees are involved in their implementation;
- enterprises producing defense products;
- enterprises, institutions and organizations that are critical for the functioning of the economy and the livelihoods of the population in a special period.
13:37 Putin said that in Russia the number of mobilized has already reached 318 thousand: "Why 318 thousand? Because the volunteers are coming. The number of volunteers is not decreasing." According to Putin, 49,000 of them are already fighting in Ukraine.
13:11 Putin said that those who live in Kherson should be taken out of the war zone - "the civilian population should not suffer."
13:09 The Russians are trying to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the settlements of Svatovo and Kremennaya in the Luhansk region, said the head of the UVA Serhiy Gaidai. According to him, the Lugansk land is strewn with the bodies of the dead invaders: “Each time during the attacks, the Russians send their soldiers up to a platoon for “reconnaissance”, in which it is impossible to survive. accompanied by the fact that the Russians "trample" their 200s. Of course, no one takes the bodies."
Gaidai added that the shelling of the de-occupied settlements continues, so it is not safe to return there. In addition, villages and cities have not been cleared of mines, there are a huge number of unexploded shells. The evacuation of local residents continues.
13:03 The Russian military is using the territory of the Kursk nuclear power plant and related enterprises for the storage and maintenance of missiles. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, over the past few weeks, representatives of the Russian Armed Forces have been delivering missiles to the S-300 complexes to the underground hangars of the Kurskatomenergoremont enterprise near the village of Ivanino, Kursk Region.
Also at the end of October, the arrival of several civilian trucks on Iranian car numbers with an unknown cargo was noted in these hangars. It is likely that the Russian military is using this facility to covertly house and maintain missile munitions and Iranian UAVs. The presence of Iranian ballistic missiles in underground storage facilities is not ruled out.
12:40 The Verkhovna Rada adopted bill No. 8008 on protecting the financial system of Ukraine from the actions of the Russian Federation. The document, in particular, provides for the non-admission to the management and management of the subjects of primary financial monitoring of persons who are citizens of the Russian Federation; expanding the list of high-risk clients by citizens and legal entities that are residents of the Russian Federation and/or whose activities are related to it; Establishing an obligation for primary financial monitoring entities to report to the State Financial Monitoring Service on threshold transactions with entities related to the Russian Federation.
12:17 The Likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu won the parliamentary elections in Israel. About what his victory means for Ukraine and Russia - in the material of the Rada of Ukraine and the Russian Federation .
11:44 In Mariupol, local residents are asking for help by placing inscriptions on the walls and balconies of their houses. "We are cold, help," they write. The photo was published by the mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko.
11:26 Scholz, during a visit to Beijing, told Xi Jinping that Russia's war against Ukraine "creates many problems for our rules-based world order."
10:53 The mayor of the city of Oleshki, Kherson region, Yevgeny Ryshchuk, announced a night strike on the Zolotoy Fazan hotel complex near the village. Radensk, Oleshkovsky district. The detonation continued for two hours, information on the number of equipment hit and personnel has not yet been received. The local population is not allowed to come close, according to preliminary data, the complex is completely destroyed.
10:20 British intelligence writes that due to low morale and unwillingness to fight, Russian forces probably began to deploy so-called barrage detachments or "blocking units." These units threaten to shoot down their retreating soldiers to force them to go on the offensive. This practice has already been used in previous conflicts by Russian troops. Also, Russian generals are likely to require commanders to use weapons against deserters. This indicates the low quality, low morale and indiscipline of the Russian troops, analysts say.
10:09 The rotation of the IAEA mission took place at the Zaporozhye NPP, the new group included nine people, the occupying "authorities" reported. This is the third IAEA mission at the nuclear power plant. The first included two people, the second - four.
09:58 Tonight, the Russians fired S-300 missiles at settlements in the Zaporozhye region. As a result of hitting one of the missiles, a gas pipe in an open area was damaged, a fire broke out, which was eliminated by rescuers. According to preliminary data, there were no victims, said the head of the OVA Alexander Starukh.
09:22 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of November 4. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Limansky and Avdeevsky directions.
- personnel - about 74,840 (+840) people liquidated,
- tanks - 2750 (+16),
- armored combat vehicles - 5580 (+28),
- artillery systems - 1772 (+17),
- MLRS - 391 (+1),
- air defense systems - 201 (+3),
- aircraft - 277 (+0),
- helicopters - 258 (+0),
- UAV operational-tactical level - 1450 (+8),
- cruise missiles - 397 (+0),
- ships/boats - 16 (+0),
- automotive equipment and tankers - 4174 (+12),
- special equipment - 155 (+1).
08:57 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) predicts that after the conclusions of the IAEA about the absence of a "dirty bomb" in Ukraine, the invaders will immediately try to transfer the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant to the Russian power grid.
Meanwhile, Russian troops continue to withdraw individual units from the northwestern part of the Kherson region, but it is not yet clear whether they will fight for Kherson. Thus, Russian troops continue to prepare reserve positions on the left bank of the Dnieper, equipping defensive positions northwest of Kherson and transferring additional mobilized forces there. At the same time, some Russian elite units - such as airborne troops and marines - continue to operate on the right bank of the Dnieper, and their complete withdrawal from the north of the Kherson region would be a clearer indication that the Russians will not fight for Kherson or the inhabited points on the right bank.
ISW also notes that the occupiers have concentrated an insufficient number of mobilized for offensive operations near Bakhmut and Vuhledar in the Donetsk region. According to analysts, the Russian Federation has prematurely committed its newly mobilized personnel to offensive operations in the western part of the Donetsk region, seeking to gain minimal and operationally negligible territorial gains. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is likely to continue covert mobilization.
08:45 Yesterday, late in the evening, Russians fired at one of the districts of Nikolaev with S-300 missiles. A warehouse was destroyed, an administrative building and cars were damaged, a fire broke out in another warehouse, which was promptly eliminated. Previously, without casualties and victims, said the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim.
08:34 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of enemy shelling, eight civilians were killed - five in Bakhmut, one each in Pokrovsk, Nelipovka and Krasnogorovka. In addition, in Krymki, law enforcement officers found the body of one civilian killed by the Russians during the occupation. Another 14 people in the region were injured during the day.
08:30 The head of the Lviv OVA, Maxim Kozitsky, said that air defense forces shot down an Iranian kamikaze drone over the Lviv region, there were no damages or casualties.
08:27 In the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region, air defense forces destroyed eight enemy kamikaze drones tonight, the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, said.
08:19 In Kiev this morning, there are 450,000 consumers without power supply, which is one and a half times more than in previous days. Stabilization shutdowns occur due to overloading of the central node of the country's energy system, Klitschko said and urged the people of Kiev to save electricity as much as possible, as the situation remains difficult.
07:28 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of Russian invaders in the areas of the settlements of Verkhnekamennoe, Disputed, Maryinka, Novomikhailovka, Vodiane and Pavlovka of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in the morning report .
In the Kherson region, there is increased traffic on the roads of trucks and cars with stolen property. Significant robberies are committed in Berislav and nearby settlements. In particular, property and repair facilities are being removed from power grid service enterprises.
