At the same time, the Russian Federation continues to draw up reserves to the region, and it is possible that the paratroopers removed from the Kherson region will go to the Lugansk region.
10:11 The SBU opened criminal proceedings on the glorification of the "Russian world" in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. The incident occurred on November 12 in one of the churches of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. During the service, propagandistic theses praising the "Russian world" were heard in the church. The investigation is carried out under Part 1 of Art. 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - justification, recognition as lawful, denial of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants.
During the service in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, they sang a song with the words "The ringing floats, floats over Russia, Mother Russia is awakening ..."
09:35 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the enemy on the morning of November 15.

- armored combat vehicles - 5773 (+25),

09:31 British intelligence writes that the transfer of the "administrative center" and the command post of the Russian Federation in the south from Kherson to Genichesk enables the Russians to coordinate actions against potential threats from the west and northeast. It is also a convenient position for receiving reinforcements from the Crimea, analysts say. In addition, the area is currently out of range of Ukrainian artillery systems.
09:23 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, one civilian was killed - in the North. In addition, law enforcement officers found the bodies of three people killed by Russians during the occupation in Novy. Another person in the region was injured, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
09:12 Zelensky's statement that there will be no Minsk-3 confirms Kiev's position about its unwillingness to negotiate, Peskov said.
09:10 Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who is hosting the G20 summit, said that the war in Ukraine must be stopped: "If the war does not end, it will be difficult for us to move on. We must not divide the world into parts ... We must not allow to plunge the world into a new cold war."
Xi Jinping and Macron also called for a ceasefire in Ukraine and the resumption of peace talks. According to the Chinese leader, the international community should create conditions for this, and Beijing "will continue to play a constructive role in its own way."
Macron, in turn, asked Xi Jinping to return Putin to the negotiating table on Ukraine: "It is necessary to combine our forces in order to simultaneously respond to major international problems ... such as hostilities between Russia and Ukraine."
08:58 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) predicts that the Russian Federation will transfer troops to the Donetsk region after leaving the right bank of the Kherson region to intensify operations around Bakhmut, Donetsk and in the west of Donbass. Analysts say they may make gains in these areas over the next days and weeks, but those gains are unlikely to be significant from an operational standpoint.
ISW draws attention to the fact that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation increased the number of statements about Russian territorial gains in the Donetsk region on November 13 and 14. Their goal is to emphasize that Russian troops will intensify operations in the Donetsk region after leaving the right bank of the Kherson region.
08:27 Ukraine has offered the Grain from Ukraine humanitarian program to the world. Zelensky announced this in his speech at the G20 summit. The head of the OP Andriy Yermak announced the details of the program. Thus, at the initiative of Ukraine, an international coordinating group for the prevention of hunger is being created. The Grain from Ukraine humanitarian program will be implemented in partnership with the World Food Program. Its essence is the direct purchase by the countries participating in the project of agricultural products from Ukrainian producers and its transfer to countries on the verge of starvation. Thus, international partners will be able to simultaneously support the Ukrainian economy and help the poor countries of Africa.
The first ship Nord Vind left for Ethiopia, carrying 27,000 tons of wheat. This is the amount of food for almost 100 thousand people per year. The program provides for the provision of grain to at least 5 million people until the end of spring 2023.
08:04 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of settlements: Novoselovskoe, Luhansk region; Belogorovka, Bakhmut, Bakhmutskoe, Vremevka, Krasnogorovka, Maryinka, Novokalinovo, Novomikhailovka, Pervomayskoye of the Donetsk region, the General Staff said in the morning report .
In the Lugansk region, the enemy is looking for abandoned private houses to settle in them with military personnel who have arrived to make up for the losses of the occupation units. In Novoaidar, Russians, in order to clarify information about abandoned housing, distribute messages to local residents demanding that they come to the so-called "administration" to clarify the data.
07:13 Zelensky spoke at the G20 summit and presented Ukraine's proposals that need to be implemented for a speedy and fair end to the aggressive Russian war. "You should not offer Ukraine compromises with conscience, sovereignty, territory and independence. We respect the rules, and we are people of our word. Ukraine has always been a leader in peacekeeping efforts, and the world has seen it. And if Russia says that it allegedly wants to end this war, let it prove it's actions. Russia's words cannot be trusted, and there will be no Minsk-3 that Russia will violate immediately after the conclusion. We will not let Russia wait, build up its forces, and then start a new series of terror and global destabilization. Now it is necessary and possible to stop the destructive Russian war," the president said.
He voiced Ukraine's proposals:
- radiation and nuclear safety;
- food security;
- energy security;
- release of all prisoners and deportees;
- implementation of the UN Charter and restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and world order;
- the withdrawal of Russian troops and the cessation of hostilities;
- return of justice;
- counteracting ecocide;
- avoiding escalation;
- fixing the end of the war.
Zelensky also announced the need for an exchange of prisoners with Russia in the "all for all" format.
00:17 The invaders illegally deported at least 11 thousand children from Ukraine to the Russian Federation - these are only those whose names are known. In fact, more were taken out, Zelensky said in an evening video message. According to him, today, under the co-chairmanship of the UN Secretary General António Guterres and Yermak, a meeting of the Coordinating Council of Ukraine for the Protection and Safety of Children was held. We discussed how to stop the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia and return home all those who were taken out.
00:14 Zelensky said in an evening video message that he had held several meetings today - both in the Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. According to him, the invaders destroyed everything in the territories that they managed to liberate: “There is no electricity, no communications, no Internet, no television. The invaders destroyed everything themselves - on purpose. Here is their special operation. Before winter, the Russian invaders destroyed absolutely all critical infrastructure for people. Absolutely all important objects in the city and the region are mined."
