[Korrespondent] 22:58 Ukraine's accession to the EU will take "more than a year or two years", European Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi said: "Given the massive work required to prepare for participation in the EU internal market and many other important policy areas, all preparations for accession, likely to take more than a year or two."
At the end of September, Varheli visited Kyiv. As the UP reported with reference to its sources, then "Ukraine received a clear signal: while Varheli is in office, he will not open negotiations on joining the EU." Oliver Varhelyi's term as Expansion Commissioner ends in the fall of 2024. The commissioner himself is from Hungary.
22:43 Due to the growing shortage of electricity in Kiev, on November 7, emergency power outages can be applied as early as 7:00, Ukrenergo warned. With such disconnections, the graphics will not work. On November 7, the deficit in the energy system is predicted to be 32% more than it is provided for by the schedules of stabilization shutdowns.

21:57 Ukrenergo reported that on November 7, power supply restrictions will be introduced for consumers in Kiev, Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava regions. In these regions, the network has received the most damage, for a stable and balanced operation of the power system, it is necessary to reduce consumption by 30%, the company said. Therefore, from 6:00 until the end of the day, schedules of planned restrictions will be put into effect. In addition, oblenergos can carry out emergency consumption restrictions using emergency shutdown schedules.
21:33 Zelensky said in an evening video message that Russia is concentrating forces and means for a possible repetition of massive strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure: "In particular, for this, Russia needed Iranian missiles. We are getting ready to respond. But also, please note: there are more and more reports that not a single Caliber carrier went on combat duty in the Black Sea. This is a very significant result that our defenders provided. The smaller the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the safer it is in the Black Sea."
20:59 The Kherson OVA reported that in occupied Beryslav, Russian troops blew up high-voltage power lines, destroyed about 1.5 km of supports and lines. The city was left without power, it is impossible to quickly repair the breakdowns - there are not enough specialists, equipment, and the occupiers will not allow this to be done. Probably, there will be no electricity in Berislav until the complete de-occupation of the city.
In addition, Russian terrorists mined water wells in Berislav. In total, there are 14 of them in the city, how many are mined - the information is being specified. The invaders also blew up high-voltage lines going to Kherson, so problems with power supply began in the regional center and a number of other settlements.
20:02 Tehran's claim that it provided "a limited number of drones to Russia a few months before the start of the war in Ukraine" is not true, US Special Representative for Iran Robert Melley said: "They sent dozens of drones to Russia this summer alone, and they have their own military specialists in the occupied parts of Ukraine who help Russia use them against Ukrainian civilians."
In turn, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried said that Washington will do "everything it can" to prevent Iran from supplying arms to Russia and will consider additional sanctions against Tehran.
19:47 The New York Times writes that Russia is trying to interfere in the midterm elections to the US Congress so that the Republicans won, who do not want to provide assistance to Ukraine. According to the publication, Russian bot farms have now become more active and are spreading posts denigrating Biden, as well as complaints about the use of taxpayer funds to support Ukraine.
19:16 In Berislav, Kherson region, the invaders ordered the local residents to leave before November 10 because of the alleged possible destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in the evening report.
Enemy defeats over the previous days in the Kherson region have been confirmed. So, in Kakhovka, a blow was struck on a building where there were up to 200 enemy servicemen.

A large convoy of military equipment was destroyed in the Radensk area, enemy losses are being specified.
18:52 The ROC said that the rector of the patriarchal residence at the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Federation, Archpriest Mikhail Vasiliev, died during a "special operation."

17:34 Among the Russian mobilized in Belarus, there is an outbreak of diseases due to non-compliance with sanitary conditions. Mobilized from the Russian Federation, who continue to arrive in Belarus, are forced to live mainly in field tents without proper sanitary conditions, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports. Therefore, there is a large-scale outbreak of various diseases among military personnel - mainly respiratory diseases (bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, exacerbation of asthma) and infections of the gastrointestinal tract. The scale of the diseases is such that Belarusian doctors are not able to cope with them. The invaders are forced to urgently send military and mobilized doctors from the Russian Federation to Belarus.
Also, according to Ukrainian military intelligence, tensions between the military of the two states are growing in Belarus. Numerous conflict situations are connected with the precedents of the disdainful attitude of the Russian military towards the Belarusians. The military police of the Republic of Belarus cannot restrain the illegal behavior of the Russians.
17:09 Deputy Head of the Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevsky confirmed that Kherson and about ten settlements of the region were left without electricity and water: “A high-voltage power line was damaged.

16:07 The Ministry of Defense stated that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has not lost a single HIMARS, while "Russia has lost humanity and dignity, not to mention hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition and thousands of soldiers they sent to certain death."
15:43 There is no reason to talk about an emergency in Kiev now - everything is under control in the capital, said Roman Tkachuk, director of the Department of Municipal Security of the Kyiv City State Administration. Commenting on today's information in the media, he explained that the city authorities are forced to consider all possible options for action in case of an emergency, including in the event of a complete and prolonged lack of electricity, water and heat supply. "But this does not mean that we are now preparing to carry out the evacuation. In order to respond correctly, we must have a plan for all possible cases," Tkachuk said.
15:02 As a result of the "act of terrorism" on the Berislav-Kakhovka power line, more than ten settlements of the Kherson region were left without electricity, the "authorities" reported. It is also reported that there is no electricity in all districts of Kherson.
14:00 Defense News writes that the United States is building up a constellation of satellites to monitor Russian troops in Ukraine. This activity is coordinated by the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The publication suggests that this is being done on the eve of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction. Now NRO has an orbital constellation of 50 satellites that track the movement of Russian troops, the course of hostilities, and also monitor the situation around the grain corridor.
13:54 The Romanian Foreign Ministry reacted to Putin's recent statement that after World War II, a significant area of Hungary, Romania and Poland was seized by Stalin's order in favor of Kiev: "The Romanian Foreign Ministry rejects the statements made by the President of the Russian Federation in a speech on the occasion of the Day national unity, which erroneously suggest the territorial claims of Romania to Ukraine".

11:14 British intelligence writes that, according to reports, on November 3, Major General Alexander Linkov was appointed acting commander of the Central Military District of Russia. Linkov replaces Colonel General Alexander Lapin in this position, who was allegedly removed from his post at the end of October. If this information is confirmed, then this event will be the next in a series of dismissals of top Russian military leaders since the invasion began in February 2022. Earlier this year, the commanders of the Eastern, Southern and Western military districts were replaced.
Lapin was heavily criticized by both the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin. These layoffs are a pattern of blaming Russian top military commanders for failing to achieve Russia's battlefield goals. In part, this is likely an attempt to isolate and deflect blame from the Russian top leadership, analysts say.
10:31 Yermak stressed the need to "desovkovize" Russia: "Desovkovization of Russia can bring development and peace in the world for the next 100 years. The Russian terrorist autocracy with Soviet complexes should no longer exist. Ukraine's victory will be a triumph of democracy to ensure sustainable development and welfare of the civilized world ".
09:45 In Kiev, a total evacuation is planned in the event of a complete power outage, for this, 3 million people will need to be taken out of the city, writes The New York Times, citing the head of the Municipal Security Department of the Kyiv City State Administration, Roman Tkachuk. According to him, the city authorities have been warned that there will be a notification of at least 12 hours in advance about the critical situation in the power grid.
“We understand that if Russia continues such attacks, we may lose the entire power supply system. If there is no electricity, then there will be no water and sewerage. Therefore, now the government and the city administration are taking all possible measures to protect our power supply system,” the NYT quotes Tkachuk. But at this stage, Tkachuk stressed, the situation is under control and there are no reasons for mass evacuation.
09:34 In the Donetsk region, as a result of Russian shelling over the past day, one civilian was killed - in Toretsk. Three more people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

At the same time, in some settlements, the invaders are destroying the towers of Ukrainian mobile operators.
07:19 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that the Russian Wagner PMC has lost from 800 to 1000 mercenaries in Ukraine, and over the past two months alone, more than 500 prisoners recruited into Wagner units have been eliminated. Ukrainian intelligence officers have also previously reported that many prisoners suffering from infectious diseases have infected Wagner's troops, to which Prigozhin responded that he does not discriminate on the basis of illness, ISW analysts say.
03:14 A battalion of those mobilized from the Voronezh region was destroyed near Makiivka, the Russian opposition publication Layout reports, citing survivors and relatives of the mobilized. One of the surviving servicemen, Aleksey Agafonov, said that the commander of the mobilized battalion, who were trained in military unit 2079, promised that the military would be brought to the Svatovo region, where they would join the "territorial defense" 15 km from the front line. However, on the night of November 1-2, the entire battalion was brought to the line of contact and ordered to dig in and hold the line of defense.

We dug in as best we could, and in the morning shelling began - artillery, Grads, mortars, copters, we were simply shot. When it all started, "The officers immediately ran away. In between shelling, we tried to dig in, but we were immediately identified by copters and simply shot. Out of 570 people, as many as 29, another 12 were wounded, the rest were all," Agafonov said.
