[Korrespondent] 23:08 Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that air defense forces in the city district of Elektrostal allegedly repelled an attack by a drone flying towards the capital, there was no destruction or casualties.
21:44 Defense Minister Rustem Umerov named three main tasks for the new commander of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: maximum digitalization of processes and compliance with all standards of medical support and equipment, development of a tactical medicine training system according to NATO standards, as well as constant rotation of doctors for the exchange and transfer of experience.
21:40 The Russians fired a mortar at the civilian infrastructure of the city of Seredina-Buda, Sumy region, one person was killed, the prosecutor’s office reported.
20:59 Zelensky said in an evening video message that, on the recommendation of the Minister of Defense, he replaced the commander of the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: instead of Major General of the Medical Service Tatyana Ostashchenko, the new commander was Major General of the Medical Service Anatoly Kazmirchuk - Head of the National Military Medical Clinical Center Main Military Clinical Hospital in the city of Kiev.
“The task is obvious - and this has been repeatedly said in society, in particular in the community of our combat medics - we need a fundamentally new level of medical support for our soldiers. From high-quality tourniquets to complete digitalization and transparency in supplies, from high-quality training to sincere communication with combat medics in those units where medicine is deployed truly correctly and effectively. The experience of the effectiveness of specific units should be extended to the entire Defense Forces," the president emphasized.
15:28 If the war in Ukraine is frozen, Russia will have six years to prepare its troops for a direct conflict with NATO, according to a study by the German Society for Foreign Policy (DGAP). According to experts, Russia may attack the Baltic countries first. The authors of the study cite sources in military circles and German intelligence services in their conclusions.
14:54 Deported Mariupol teenager Bogdan Ermokhin is already in Ukraine, the Presidential Office reported. Today he turned 18 years old, he is next to his sister. The OP thanked partners from Qatar and the international organization UNICEF.
12:39 The Russians shelled Kherson - five people were injured, including a three-year-old child, said the head of the OVA, Alexander Prokudin. Over the past 24 hours, four people were injured as a result of Russian shelling in the region.
11:41 On the afternoon of November 18, the Russian Army fired artillery at the civilian infrastructure of the town of Znob-Novgorodskoe, Sumy region, two people were wounded, the prosecutor’s office reported. As a result of the attack, six private households were damaged.
10:48 Teenager Bogdan Ermokhin, illegally deported by the Russians from Mariupol, left Russia and is in Belarus. He himself and his lawyer told the publication Verstka about this. Ermokhin’s story resonated after a 17-year-old teenager, taken from Mariupol after its occupation and adopted by a Russian family, received a summons demanding to register with the military registration and enlistment office. Ermokhin turned to Zelensky with a request to help him return home.
09:37 During a night attack by drones in the Kiev region, an infrastructure facility was damaged. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties and the fire was extinguished, said the head of the Kyiv Police Department Ruslan Kravchenko.
09:00 Ukrainian troops have moved the Russian army 3-8 km from the Dnieper to the left bank of the Kherson region, so mortar crews no longer reach the right bank, said Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the Southern Defense Forces. According to her, Ukrainian forces continue to gain a foothold on the left bank.
At the same time, Gumenyuk emphasized that the Russians continue to shell the right bank of the Kherson region with artillery - this means that they have the opportunity to bring up reserves, and new ones are returning to the place of destroyed positions. According to Gumenyuk, the total number of the Russian group is estimated at “several tens of thousands.” At the same time, the creation of strike groups is not recorded - this means that the Russians do not have the capacity to prepare for active actions.
