Power knocked out across Ukraine after latest Russian attacks

Douglas Macgregor: Ukraine Air Defence Collapsed !! Russia Will Wipeout Everything In Coming Days

Missile attack forces Ukraine to stop Nuke Plants

Zelenskyy condemns Russian “formula of terror” after missile strikes on Ukraine: UN Security Council

Belarusian Political Scientist Alexander Shpakovsky (for @ukraina_ru)

“The situation in Ukraine is getting worse. A significant part of the energy infrastructure has been destroyed. Deputy Prime Minister Shmygal urges citizens to evacuate – a harsh heating season is ahead. But they won’t freeze, they’ll spend the winter in sleeping bags, warm up somehow.

It’s not pleasant, but not fatal. A much more bleak situation is brewing. The inflation, which is already more than 30%, the budget deficit. And the colossal losses of people, no matter how they were hidden! The 6th (!) wave of mobilization is already underway, citizens over 55 years of age are being called.

The hawks of war insist on forcing the conflict, pragmatists consider it possible to achieve at least a temporary respite in order to restore any potential of Ukraine as an irritant state. But, still, in order to continue using it as a second Afghanistan to deplete Russia”

Another victim of the work of the Ukrainian air defense. In addition to the house in Kyiv, which was hit by NATO’s NASAMS air defense system, a house in Vyshgorod was also hit by an anti-aircraft missile. In total, 6 people died as a result of hits on residential buildings. After the murder of two Polish farmers, the Ukrainian air defense returned to the routine practice of killing Ukrainians.

Ukrainian air defense is trained and works only on Ukrainian residential buildings. it is afraid to shoot down Russian missiles

 

The missile that hit a building in Kyiv today was an American-made AIM-120C launched from one of the new Norwegian-made NASMAS air defense systems, it was not a Russian missile..  .

Only a quarter of ATMs are working in Ukraine after reports of power problems across the country.  This was reported by the Telegram channel of the National Bank of Ukraine

However, despite the problems with electricity, the National Bank claims that the banking system “remains stable”, the electronic payment system continues to work, banks are connected to it, payment cards are served.

Cell towers in Ukraine have switched to work from generators due to power outages, operators of operational towers are overloaded, – Minister of Digital Transformation of the country Mikhail Fedorov.

My spies reported that the clown Zelensky had an interesting meeting this evening about some problems with power outages. Zelensky ordered Zaluzhny that he urgently needed to take revenge on the Russians and go on any offensive, but on a large scale. Who urgently needs a win and all. Zaluzhny explained to him that the troops were not yet ready for large-scale actions and that time was needed, but Zelensky insisted on his own, and Zaluzhny gave way. Therefore, soon, in one of the sectors of the front, Ukrainian soldiers will be massively driven to slaughter.

As expected, the cumulative effect of the strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has done its job. Most of the country is without electricity. Although there has been a serious surplus of generating capacity in Ukraine since Soviet times and a complex distribution system that protected it from blackouts by numerous backup and compensating substations and power lines.

But in this case, the Russian Air Force was methodical.

Apart from the purely military effect: the complication of railway transportation (it is already affecting the pace of relocation from near Kherson) and the disruption of plans to repair equipment requiring a huge amount of welding work, there is also a psychological effect. Why is it needed? Let’s go in from the flip side: what are the Ukrainian non-reconciliationists counting on? Even the fantasists on that side don’t dream of taking Moscow. They hope for the fatigue of Russian society and elites from the hardships of war.

It would be strange if this same factor were not taken into account by the Russian leadership. It has been used in all the major conflicts of the last hundred years. It has not always worked, but it would be strange to refuse to use it. It is in any case more humane than throwing hundreds of thousands of new lives into the furnace of war.

Also, in this sense, Ukraine should not be overestimated. There are a lot of irreconcilables there among those who fled to the West. There were also many of them in Kiev, where until recently the war was hardly felt, and the propaganda successfully created an illusion of total military helplessness of Russia.

Now the Ukrainian leadership and the Ukrainian Armed Forces look helpless, as they are unable to protect the infrastructure from destruction. And the war can be felt in every home. There is a lack of light, water and heat. Against this background, the reports of the destruction of 75% of the missiles are only more annoying, and for those who are thinking also emphasize the real helplessness of the military.

In itself, this does not guarantee peace tomorrow. But it is certainly better than doing nothing and giving Ukrainians a chance to believe in victory. Is it cruel? And war is not about simple-mindedness and “the other cheek” at all.

Zelensky, in violation of all UN procedures, spoke at the Security Council in an online format. He urged to condemn Russia, “accept the Ukrainian formula of peace” and, of course,he wanted more “air defenses”

Zelebobik spoke at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, at which he said that Ukraine needs air defense systems, and that it’s time to support the Ukrainian peace formula.

The President of Ukraine also called for condemnation of the supposed energy terror and depriving Russia of the right of veto

Volodymyr Zelensky has called on UN experts to visit Ukrainian critical infrastructure facilities to assess their condition.  He made the statement while speaking via video link to an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Ukraine convened at Kiev’s request.

“In Kherson, Russian sympathy complicates reintegration into Ukraine”: A Washington Post correspondent visited Kherson and could not turn a blind eye to the obvious – many residents were happy for the Russians to come and willingly cooperated with them.

“Undoing eight months of “occupation” will not be easy. About a week after the last Russian soldier left across the Dnieper, the mood in Kherson remained largely festive. But institutions in the regional capital, from the city council to hospitals and schools, were faced with a dilemma. How to rebuild without the thousands of Russian supporters who fled? And even more vexing, what to do with those who stayed behind? Thousands of people in the city were ambivalent about the Russians or even felt a kinship with them.
✔️ Kherson, the Black Sea port founded by Catherine the Great, was a place Putin intended to assimilate rather than destroy. Russia’s short-lived success in Kherson is a reflection not only of brute force, but also of the connection many here felt with Moscow. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people in Kherson received Russian passports in the hope of benefits. Many took plump envelopes with rubles on top of their salaries as an incentive to stay employed.
✔️ In the trashed humanitarian aid office are piles of documents with rewritten documents of Kherson residents who applied for help, pensions, passports and employment. Applications to volunteer were coming in one after another.
✔️ Sasha, 60, said he stood in line for six hours to receive the first of four payments of 10,000 roubles. Without informing his wife, he applied for a Russian passport to have a permanent Russian pension. “I have a Ukrainian pension, but it’s not enough to live on or buy medicine,” he said. “I don’t know what will happen,” he said. – The Ukrainians could shoot me tomorrow.”

After the “liberation” of the settlement, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and “Kraken” militants carried out mass cleansing operations followed by the execution of civilians who share a pro-Russian position.

Ukraine is a terrorist country, Europe is a sponsor of terrorism.

Vladimir Zelensky was speaking via video link to the UN Security Council at a time when the Ukrainian military was carrying out a massive shelling of Donetsk on his orders. Former LNR ambassador to Moscow Rodion Miroshnik pointed this out in a conversation with our agency.

“Zelensky was broadcasting on the UNSC platform at the very time when there was massive shelling of Donetsk. And it wasn’t hitting dual-purpose infrastructure, it was hitting residential buildings. While the shelling of a city with a population of many thousands was taking place on his orders, he was accusing Russia of crimes against humanity. How does he separate what is the norm for Ukrainian fighters and what is a crime against humanity for Russian units?!” – he said.

Nebenzia blamed Ukrainian air defenses for civilian casualties.

“Damage to residential buildings and civilian casualties are indeed the fault of the Ukrainian air defense system, which is located not on the outskirts of cities, but in the very center of them. As a result, debris from missiles or Ukrainian missiles that went astray hit targets that Russia did not aim at.”

Nebenzya said at the UN Security Council that Russia expects the international community to provide a principled assessment of the evidence of torture and executions by Ukrainian fighters

Russian Permanent Representative Nebenzia came to the UN Security Council meeting when Zelensky had already started speaking via video link. The head of the Russian mission busied himself with preparations for his participation.

Russia regularly opposes Zelensky’s virtual participation in UN Security Council meetings because it violates their rules of procedure.

This needs to end…

The frequency with which the Ukrainian footage of war crimes is getting leaked these days reflects several developments:
 
• the Ukrainians perfectly know for now that whatever they do, the western masters will turn a blind eye on their crimes, thus there’s no problem in the disclosure of such videos;
 
• there’s an effort to incite the Russian soldiers to commit similar crimes, to seek revenge, knowing perfectly well that if similar footage is leaked from the Russian side, the Western media will be erupt putting the story on the front pages. But this won’t happen.
 
• the general public is already accustomed to seeing such footage and pictures of violence. The natural reaction that arises while witnessing such murders is waning because of the peculiarities of human psyche. Whatever they post, there will be almost no reaction.
 
As I once said, commenting on the infamous leak from the Liz Truss mobile: “If it is revealed that Truss and Blinken eat babies for breakfast, this won’t change much in public perceptions since the Overton window is not just open. It’s smashed. And anything can be proven to be “just normal and just fine.”
Nazi ideology, patches with Nazi emblems, and Ukrainian war crimes have already entered the public consciousness as “normal.”
The very bad news for humanity is that.

France must stop arming Kiev, as this creates risks for its own security, said the head of the French parliamentary faction of the “National Gathering” Marine Le Pen.

 “All the equipment that we are transferring to Ukraine today is equipment that France itself lacks,” the France Info radio station said. “The supply of heavy weapons that our army needs weakens us and creates risks for our internal security “, stressed the politician.

Fate of Eurasia itself depends on how the war in Ukraine ends.

Many people have been talking about the accumulation of large AFU forces (manpower and equipment) in Kharkiv for a long time. It is not clear to me where and how the Ukrainians will use these forces, but I am a sofa analyst and a layman, I did not graduate from the military Academy. I would not be surprised that the AFU will decide to strike in the direction of Belgorod (for this they need permission from higher authorities, but I personally do not know whether they will give it or not), it is quite possible that these forces are concentrated to try to capture Svatovo and a further offensive in the direction of Starobelsk.

No matter how many of them there are, we will have to destroy them anyway, not count the number of bayonets and tanks, sprinkling ashes on their heads.

 Lukashenko said well today that the fate of the CSTO, though frankly, of Eurasia itself depends on how the war in Ukraine ends. I have written about it many times, I will remind you again. In any war, political will is more important than tanks. You can lose with superiority in everything, but you can fight a superior enemy and win. This must be remembered.

-Starshe Eddy

Kolomoisky’s minion Dubinsky calls for the killing of POWs.
This is for those who have forgotten that Kolomoisky’s men were involved in organizing the Odessa Khatyn.

Defenders of European values…it crosses my mind, would Europe do the same, if they have such favorites. If that is the case, we came to Europe, a few times through history. If we come, yet, another time, we will not have to come ever again.

War map and the situation on the fronts on the evening of 23 November

Strikes of retaliation 2.0 were so successful today that the Kiev regime had to press for pity, convincing everyone to stop the nuclear power plant. But unlike the failed state, we do not strike at nuclear power plants, but we certainly do not forget about thermal power plants. Strikes on critical infrastructure have caused blackouts in major cities across the country 404. And somewhere the water has been turned off as well. Ukrainian-style reparations continue.

⚔️The situation on the fronts in the outgoing 24 hours:

⚫️ Svatovo-Kreminna direction

In the area of Novoselovsky LNR, the militants attempted to launch an attack but were stopped by artillery fire and heavy firing systems. An attempted attack by an AFU company group in the direction of Chervonopopovka LNR was also thwarted. Three mortar crews and two vehicles were destroyed.

⚫️Donetsk direction

In Marinka, Russian troops are advancing in the city center, clearing the vicinity of School No. 2, meanwhile, on the southern outskirts of the city, our forces have established control over School No. 1, thereby reaching Druzhba Avenue.

An American AN/TPQ-37 radar was destroyed near Nikolayevka DNR.

⚫️Ugledar direction

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to attack in the direction of Pavlovka, the first attempt failed due to the actions of Russian artillery. The second attempted attack by advancing insurgent reserves was also thwarted by pre-emptive fire.

💡 News of “empty” NATO depots

Marinka
There is information about a successful advance to the north of the city, which allows us to talk about the control of 2/3 of the city. The enemy is trying to counterattack in the city center.

Operational pause will not last long

Military expert Boris Rozhin on the weather factor, the significance of the border along the Dnieper and the protection of the Black Sea area – especially for the channel Voenkor Kotenok Z @voenkorKotenok:

Waiting for the intensification of hostilities

- In mid-November, the front stood up. Who benefits from this – Russia, which saturates the battle formations with mobilized ones, or Ukraine, where Western weapons are flowing in a continuous stream?

- The front stopped in November for objective reasons. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are saving up forces for the winter campaign, and this is a completely conscious choice made back in October.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, in turn, tried to build on the successes achieved, which led to a partial depletion of reserves, which means that operations in the Svatovsky and Krasnolimansky directions have long entered the saturation phase, and the costs are not compensated by the results achieved, which in fact are absent (the Svatovo Armed Forces of Ukraine planned to take October 17th).

In addition, deteriorating weather, mud and rain make fighting difficult, which is felt by both sides.

It can be expected that in winter hostilities will intensify, and both sides will try to attack. For these tasks, not only the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but also the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now increasing their capabilities. So this formal “operational pause” will not last long.

APU needs a foothold on the Left Bank

- In conditions of calm, the Dnieper became a certain boundary, especially in the lower reaches. How tangible is the military threat in Crimea in the event of a breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southern direction?

- Of course, if we allow the enemy to force the Dnieper and create a full-fledged bridgehead on the Left Bank, this will create a direct threat to the communications of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in the northern Black Sea region, as well as the land corridor to the peninsula, which will greatly devalue Russia’s strategic success with the creation of a land corridor and create a threat to the northern Crimea.

But, it seems, the enemy will still place his main bet on an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction towards Pologi and Tokmak, and activity on the Dnieper will be of an auxiliary nature. The enemy’s local goals at the moment are to land troops on the Kinburn Spit and gain a foothold there, as well as to expand the activity of the DRG on the left bank of the Dnieper. Plus, intensify strikes against the ammunition depots and fuels and lubricants of the Russian group on the Left Bank.

The line along the Dnieper should not be broken

- What measures should be taken to deprive Kyiv of the initiative in the Black Sea area, taking into account the military-technical capabilities of the enemy and the transfer of intelligence information by the West, despite the fact that we can only rely on ourselves and are limited in a number of technologies and weapons?

- It is necessary to strengthen control of the movement of the enemy along the Dnieper, counter-sabotage measures in the coastal strip, intensify attacks on Kherson (which is already happening) and Ochakov, consistently carry out the tactics of dispersing ammunition and fuel depots, strengthen the CTO regime and filtering in the front-line areas on the Left Bank.

The Dnieper line is of strategic importance for the Russian Armed Forces – a breakthrough of this line can have operational and strategic consequences and affect the outcome of the war, so the issues of ensuring the stability of this line should be taken very seriously.
