[NBC News] Russian officials on Monday denied allegations that an elite marine unit had suffered catastrophic losses during an "incomprehensible" assault in eastern Ukraine. It's not officially true until the Russians deny it. /\ Mod embedded Snark O'The Day
Officials responded to what pro-Russian military bloggers and Telegram channels said was an unsigned open letter from members of the 155th marine brigade of Russia’s Pacific Fleet. The 155th was previously mauled fighting near Kiev. Estimated casualties were 600 killed and another 600 wounded. Brigade ~3,000.
"They don’t care about anything other than to show off themselves. They call people meat," said the scathing and unusual letter, which was addressed to Oleg Kozhemyako, the governor of Primorsky Krai, a Russian region in the country’s far east where the unit is based.
The attack on the town of Pavlovka in eastern Ukraine, near the Ukraine-Russian border and south of the city of Luhansk, left 300 Russians dead, wounded or missing, according to the letter, which has not been independently verified by NBC News, although Kozhemyako responded to the claims.
"We have contacted the commanders," he wrote. "Yes, there are losses. There are heavy battles going on. But the losses are not as big as they say in this appeal."
Russia’s Ministry of Defense, issuing an unusual denial to a specific complaint from its servicemen, said in response to the letter that the division had not suffered "significant losses." Tis but a scratch when compared to the earlier 1,200 losses.
The letter and the responses to it are the latest signs of unrest among Russian soldiers as President Vladimir Putin’s forces fail to take and hold cities as morale plummets. An ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive has recaptured towns and threatens to take the key city of Kherson.
The letter alleged that the unit was ordered to take Pavlovka, but instead, half the unit’s equipment was destroyed over four days.
Chief of the General Staff Gen. Valery Gerasimov and Lt. Gen. Rustam Muradov, commander of Russia’s eastern military district, were guilty of "hiding" the true number of losses, it added.

from Inst for study of War - on this subject:
----
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) issued a rare statement on November 7 in response to extensive Russian milblogger outcry on November 6 about reported extensive losses and poor command within the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Pacific Fleet. Russian milbloggers published and circulated a letter that claimed Russian military leadership “threw” the brigade into an “incomprehensible offensive” near Pavlivka, Donetsk Oblast, where it suffered losses amounting to over 300 killed, wounded, and missing and lost half of its equipment, all within four days.

Invest in whatever you want. Natural gas and oil would be good as the green tech materials are mostly pulled out of Russia and processed in China, and that chain is going the way of the dodo.
But I would look at history over the past few decades to see how the new congress acts. Maybe a little more oversight, but the goods and money will flow regardless.

Petrochemical industry in the US is good too. Before we could only make a few things from natural gas, but with the cheap access to it from fracking in the US, American companies have come up with all sorts of plastics and chemicals that weren't made from it before. It is now a lot cheaper to make them than from oil and we are seeing a boom in those industries.

Institute of Study of War had to fire one of their authors during the Syria Affair [reporting on Assad's use of force] when that Author was quoted by McCain and J.Kerry during Congressional Hearings, when later that report came out to be false.
The regional governor, Kozhemyako [pro russian], said he had sent materials to the military prosecutor's office for further examination.
"In conditions of information warfare, any publications on social networks need checking. I am sure that in any case the situation will be analysed and the competent authorities will give their assessment," he said.
Reminds me of a little chihuahua barking at the FedEx delivery guy. He's very brave as long as his owner is there to back him up.

"Ukraine has never refused to negotiate.
As I understand, some months back Zelensky proposed a bill which was subsequently passed by the Ukr legislature that there would be no negotiations with the current Russian government.
The Russians are welcome to leave at any time. Cheaper food will come when the Russians no longer occupy and shell the farmland, steal the harvest or threaten food laden ships.
Putin has signaled a willingness to negotiate (i.e. freeze the front lines, a non-starter) since the Ukrainians have gone on the offensive and taking back territory.
That's what I understood; no talks until Putin is gone.
No condition was set on walking out or feet first. Returning kidnapped Ukrainians, esp children, will be another big item.

[Vesti] The Armed Forces of Ukraine beat back dozens of Russian attacks in Bakhmut and Soledar in a day. This was announced on Sunday, November 6, by Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar.
"The epicenter of events this week, as we see, is Bakhmut, Soledar and the Donetsk direction in general, where the enemy sometimes carries out dozens of attacks in a day, which we repulse," she said.
According to the deputy minister, in the Donetsk direction, in fact, there is a mutual movement of both sides.
"If the enemy manages to move forward a little and occupy some settlements, there is an instant reaction from the defense forces of Ukraine, and we instantly return all the territories," Malyar said.
She stressed that the main thing is that Ukraine does not rent a single centimeter of land.
"But the process that is happening now is active hostilities, the enemy is trying to reach the borders of the Donetsk region, so fierce battles continue there. A very difficult defense is now going on there," Malyar explained.
She added that now on the fronts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine they are preparing to liberate the occupied territories and consolidate on the already liberated ones.
"Stabilization measures are ongoing there. Now, in fact, this is the main task," the Deputy Minister of Defense emphasized.

The Russians did take the quarry near Bakhmut briefly, but lost it in a counter attack a day later.
The fact the Russians have been attacking along that front for months and have only gained a few kilometers speaks to heavy losses on both sides I think.

17:48 Military intelligence of Ukraine warns of a high probability in the coming days of provocative shelling of residential areas of Kherson in order to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine. An extension of the curfew for the hidden introduction of new forces to the right bank is expected.

16:53 The Russians do not abandon their attempts to capture Bakhmut in the Donetsk region, but to no avail and with numerous losses, said Sergei Cherevaty, a representative of the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy from 70 to 100 invaders in this direction every day, and even more Russians are injured.

16:49 Putin said that about 80,000 mobilized people are now in the "special operation" zone, of which about 50,000 are taking part in hostilities, "the rest are at the training grounds."
16:47 The organized removal of the inhabitants of Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper has ended, in the future it will be possible to leave the right bank on their own - the "authorities" in this case "will provide all the necessary assistance," the "administration" said.

16:30 Meduza writes, citing sources close to the Kremlin, that the Russian authorities consider the surrender of Kherson an "undesirable" but "probable" scenario at the front. The final decision must be made personally by Putin, with the participation of people from his "inner circle." According to sources, it will depend on the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this direction.
Nevertheless, manuals have already been prepared for the propaganda media in case the Russian troops leave Kherson. Thus, the media is advised to pay attention to the fact that Ukraine and NATO will throw all their efforts into recapturing Kherson, they need "a lot of blood", while the Russian Federation protects the lives of soldiers and the local population. Also among the explanations for the Russians is the inexpediency of fighting in the city, because the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing to raze it to the ground. In addition, the Russians will be reminded that during the war with Sweden, Peter I also withdrew troops to Poltava, but then won.

14:13 Pope Francis said on Sunday that the cruelty of the Russian military, with which they operate in Ukraine, is not inherent in the Russian people: "I prefer to think so, because I have great respect for the Russian people, for Russian humanism." The pope remembered Dostoevsky, who, according to the pontiff, still "inspires Christians to comprehend Christianity."
Today, Ukrainian Ambassador to the Vatican Andriy Yurash reacted to this statement: "To understand the Russian "humanism" that the Pope believes in, it would be enough just to visit Ukraine now and see how 4.5 million people were left without electricity and water, "enjoying" this Russian "humanism": orders to bomb Ukraine are given and the rocket launch buttons are pressed not by mercenaries, but by sincere Russian "humanists" - followers of Dostoevsky ... "
14:01 New British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will visit Ukraine "soon," Ukrainian Ambassador to London Vadim Prystaiko said: "We will not discuss the dates because of the Prime Minister's safety. But he will arrive in Ukraine very soon."
13:57 Turkey did not let Russian ships into the Black Sea, which were going to shell Ukraine. Andrey Klimenko, head of the Monitoring Group of the Institute for Black Sea Strategic Studies, said that the missile cruiser of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation Varyag and the large anti-submarine ship Admiral Tributs came from Vladivostok to the Mediterranean Sea and planned to reach the Black Sea through the Bosphorus to shell Ukraine. But, Turkey did not let them in, and on November 6, these ships were seen in the Singapore Strait - they were moving back to their base in Vladivostok.
13:25 Ukrnafta, Motor Sich, AvtoKrAZ and Zaporizhtransformator become state property. The National Commission for Securities and the Stock Market has decided to ensure the forced disposal of shares of these strategically important enterprises associated with Konstantin Zhevago, Igor Kolomoisky, Vyacheslav Boguslaev and Konstantin Grigorishin.
13:21 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation denied the statements of Russian bloggers on behalf of the fighters of the 155th Marine Brigade about high useless losses in people and equipment: "Due to the competent actions of the unit commanders, the loss of marines over this period does not exceed 1% of the combat strength and 7% of the wounded , a significant part of which have already returned to service.
13:18 To the east of Melitopol - in the Kherson direction - the Russians are evicting people from their homes and building defensive fortifications, Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said. So, in the village of Polyanovka, Melitopol district, they "asked" the residents to move to other settlements. Concrete slabs removed from the water canal were brought to Polyanovka through neighboring Akimovka, and the surrounding area is being converted into an outpost.
13:09 La Repubblica writes about secret consultations between Washington and Brussels on possible negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, which can be resumed after the Armed Forces of Ukraine return Kherson under control. Since the liberation of Kherson "will forever change the direction of the conflict," Ukraine will be able to negotiate with Russia from a position of strength, not weakness, the newspaper notes.
The newspaper also writes that the United States is interested in negotiations for two more reasons: the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russia and the danger that a complete defeat of Putin could untie the hands of the main enemy - China.
13:04 NASAMS and Aspide air defense systems arrived in Ukraine , Reznikov said: "This weapon will significantly strengthen the Armed Forces of Ukraine and make our skies safer. We will continue to shoot down enemy targets attacking us. Thanks to our partners: Norway, Spain and the United States."
12:20 Governor of the Primorsky Territory of the Russian Federation Oleg Kozhemyako confirmed the losses of the Russians in Pavlovka near Ugledar, but said that they were "significantly exaggerated" in the text of the letter that the Russian military correspondents published the day before: "We are advancing hard. Yes, there are losses, but far from such. This is not a staff officer saying this, but a combat commander. He stressed that the losses of the Primorye were greatly exaggerated." The letter reported about 300 dead during the "incomprehensible attack" on the village of Pavlovka near Ugledar in the Donetsk region.
11:36 The occupied part of the Zaporozhye region will refuse the hryvnia from January 1, said the representative of the "authority" Vladimir Rogov. According to him, the only currency in the annexed territories will be the ruble.
11:02 The SBU reported suspicion to the Metropolitan of one of the dioceses of the UOC-MP in the Vinnytsia region. The Metropolitan committed deliberate actions aimed at inciting religious hatred and insulting the feelings of citizens in connection with their religious beliefs. The relevant materials were posted, among other things, on the personal website of the priest.
10:53 In the Kharkiv region over the past day, the enemy continued shelling from tanks and artillery of the settlements of Kupyansky, Chuguevsky and Kharkov regions, located near the line of collision and the border with the Russian Federation. In the Kupyansky district, a Russian anti-tank shell hit a civilian car that was driving along a road between settlements, the driver was hospitalized with injuries, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.
10:17 There are only 120 Iskanders left in Russia. The Russians have already used about 80% of their modern missiles, said Vadym Skibitsky, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, in a commentary to The Economist. According to him, the military intelligence of Ukraine became aware of the Kremlin's plans to acquire Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar ballistic missiles from Iran and send them by air to the Crimea and by sea to Russian ports on the Caspian Sea. "We know that agreements have already been reached," Skibitsky said.
According to his forecasts, Russia will be able to double its missile attacks on the territory of Ukraine after receiving missiles from Iran. Ukraine does not yet have effective defenses against these missiles, which hit targets at much higher speeds than Russian cruise missiles or drones.
09:18 British intelligence writes that Russia's continued lack of air superiority is likely exacerbated by poor training, the loss of experienced crews and an increased risk of providing close air support in areas of dense air defense. This situation is unlikely to change in the next few months, analysts say. Losses of aircraft in Russia are likely to greatly exceed their ability to produce new ones. The time it takes to train competent pilots further reduces Russia's ability to restore combat aviation.

08:39 Around Mariupol, the invaders began to build a line of defense. Two mini-factories for the production of concrete, which were installed in Maruipol, are working for the front - they produce anti-tank concrete "pyramids", which are partially transported towards Zaporozhye and Kherson, said Petr Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol. Partially, they are installed in the area of the highway between Mariupol and Nikolskoe. They also significantly strengthen the direction from the north to the village. Old Crimea.

Meanwhile, Ukraine and its international supporters have made it clear that they will not agree to negotiations at gunpoint and will not renounce Ukraine's sovereign right to its territories.
ISW writes that the Kremlin may have privately clarified its nuclear policy in order to de-escalate relations with the US and its allies. China could also play a role in pressuring the Kremlin to reduce its nuclear threats.

[RIA] What happens near the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region
by Maria Marikyan
Ukrainian troops are trying to find a weak spot in the defense of the Zaporozhye region. They are shelling peaceful cities, including Kamenka-Dneprovskaya near Energodar. About what the situation is there - in the report of RIA Novosti. Peaceful city
On the way from Melitopol we pass many checkpoints. Each one is closely scrutinized. The military warns: you need to return strictly before the curfew, that is, before 20:00. Control has been strengthened.
The once bustling embankment is deserted. Around the announcement: "No entry." Kamenka-Dniprovska is closest to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - a little more than four kilometers. From the Ukrainian Nikopol, the city is at a glance.
“The line of contact is two kilometers away, right along the river. In fact, we are at the forefront,” explains Alexander Reimer, deputy head of the military-civilian administration (MAC). “And next to Energodar. there are no military and strategically important facilities."
Alexander Reimer talks about the shelling of Kamenka-Dneprovskaya
They fire from artillery, attack with drones stuffed with explosives. One of the main targets is the police department. Recently, the entire staff was transferred to another building.
“I can only guess why we get so much. Under Ukraine, nothing really worked here, but now we have order. Apparently, this is not profitable for that side,” says the head of the police department, Viktor Chudak.
He served here under the previous government, sent corrupt officials to jail. "But what's the point? Some interested persons quickly released them. All the work was wasted," the policeman recalls.
"Birds Have Arrived"
The entrance is lined with sandbags, the facade is cut, holes gape in the roof. Victor asks not to stay long in one place. “When I was walking here, I saw a“ bird ”(drone. - Approx. ed.). Where the first is, the second is right there,” he clarifies. “It is sunny today, good visibility. In general, it is calmer in the city when it is windy and cloudy On such days - without "guests".
Police officers do not stand out among the locals, but they are known. For Ukraine, they are collaborators. A week ago, the boss's house was bombed - copters flew in from Nikopol.
“I moved with my family to another place, but we remain in the city. And we are not going to leave,” Victor emphasizes.
The police have a lot of work: 16 settlements within a radius of 60 kilometers. “In addition to thieves, I’ve also caught DRGs,” continues the head of the police department. “We often come across spotters. Most of them are teenagers. They don’t realize that they are causing fire on themselves. We explain. with such preventive conversations, including with relatives.
Agricultural complex
The city is small, before the hostilities there were twelve thousand people, now there are about eight. Almost everyone is engaged in agriculture - they grow tomatoes and cucumbers. They work in the fields, sow wheat, barley, corn. Harvest is delivered to granaries.
n
One of the elevators, still Soviet, is on the outskirts. The fighter accompanying us there sternly says: "A little bit, on my command - immediately into the car."
Workers show smoldering wheat for more than a month. After the missile hit, it has not been possible to extinguish so far.
"There are 250 tons here. And from the Ministry of Emergency Situations they came, and it rained - to no avail. We are used to the fact that drones, as scheduled, arrive every day at lunchtime. Although it happens earlier," master Artur Antonov gazes intently at the sky. scout. The second, bigger one, bombs."
A total of 2.5 thousand tons of barley burned down in a storage facility on the other side of the city. The fire was extinguished by more than ten brigades of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
"We are ready to accept a lot - tens of thousands of tons. True, not yet in raw form: we need gas to dry," says Oleg Shvets, director of the enterprise. "There are export opportunities. But now the main thing is for everything to calm down."
"I want stability"
Local residents recall recent arrivals. “My neighbor, an ambulance nurse, was sitting here,” pensioner Anna Igorevna points to a bench near a five-story building in the city center. “A week ago. There was no electricity for three days, we warmed tea together on the street. …"
Luckily the nurse was rescued. There are several families left in the house. “I have nowhere to go. And how to leave the apartment,” the pensioner cries.
The Konservny microdistrict was also heavily bombed - not a single whole house was visible. “They were taking out a wounded grandmother, and the shells were falling from all sides. It was scary,” says nurse Anna (name changed at her request). “The other day they beat on the embankment. old, but with arrivals it got worse.
Upstream - dams that can undermine. Then everyone will be flooded.
"Ukrainian troops did not even try to defend themselves: the security forces fled long before the Russians came here. There are no illusions about who is shelling us. And those who left do not believe us. They know better - from Poland and Germany," bitterly ironic Oksana Shuparskaya, deputy chief physician at the hospital. Medical experience - more than 30 years.
Work is in full swing here. The state is almost at full strength in place. Medicines are available, but there is not enough equipment.
“We are gradually moving to Russian standards. I am glad that the list of drugs that we can prescribe for free has expanded almost four times. This was not the case before,” the doctor notes. “The clinic needs repairs: nothing has been done since Soviet times. There are many plans, but I want stability."
Help to the population
It is forbidden to crowd near the headquarters of humanitarian aid. The kits are handed over to the representatives of the quarters. They go around the houses, find out who needs what, and inform the volunteers.
But lately, help has been scarce.
“The set contains two packs of pasta, sunflower oil, stew, buckwheat. So far, so far. First of all, we provide for the disabled, the elderly, who are over 80, single mothers, large families. still retired,” sighs coordinator Natalia (not her real name).
The city has been shelled since the summer. Farmers brought bread, dairy products and vegetables. Due to problems with logistics, the crop was sold only in the Crimea, and as a result, it went into negative territory.
“It’s not easy for them. Therefore, there is not enough for everyone,” Natalya adds.
She worked in administration with difficult teenagers. Together with the rest of his colleagues, he keeps in touch with the wards who left for Ukraine. Communicate despite political differences. “As a rule, strangers in social networks threaten, but we don’t dwell on it, we just do our job,” says the volunteer.
At the same time, the situation is heating up. The shelling intensifies. The authorities are talking about attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through. But the defenders of the city beat off all attacks.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
Oleg Tsarev, former Ukrainian and now rather Russian politician, writes:
"The Kherson direction. The most alarming. Kherson has not been surrendered. The line of defense is in place, the roadblocks in the city are in place. I contacted my military acquaintances. Everyone I recruited, and these are three units, different types of troops, are all in place. They hold their positions firmly They say they won't leave without an order.
At the same time, the rotation of neighboring units is actively underway. A lot of equipment was brought to the left bank. My acquaintances were not ordered to leave their positions. The military won’t let you down, as long as the politicians don’t let you down."
Leaders - with balls.
For example, Stalin had balls. And he did not exchange for agreements with the same Hitler to withdraw Soviet troops from the right bank of the Volga in Stalingrad. On the contrary, it was there that the fascists were first broken back and the Nazis rolled to Berlin.
The leader must have balls, and not be exchanged for agreements and "goodwill gestures" and other "regroupings" that he uses for his own good, as practice shows 100%, ONLY the enemy.
I hope my maxims are wrong and it won't come to that, because there will be no political surrender of Kherson.
