What happened to the cancer? I thought he was about to die. Doesn't look like it here. He has one glass of champagne and everybody says he's drunk on his butt. I don't see that either. Underestimating your enemy is a piss poor strategy.

Buried landmines, stretch marks, mined buildings, cars and infrastructure ...

Employees of the SBU found that during the capture of Kherson, the local archimandrite - rector of the Assumption Cathedral was present in the Kremlin hall when the annexation of four Ukrainian regions was announced. A few days before the liberation of the city, the priest fled to the temporarily occupied territories of southern Ukraine.

In addition, former criminals were found on the territory of the monastery of the Ovruch-Korosten diocese and Skeet in the Zhytomyr region, maintaining contact with subscribers of the Russian Federation.

14:58 Putin said that the West does not notice "Ukraine's actions against Russia", but at the same time, Moscow's "retaliatory steps" cause a wave of informational noise: "Now there is a lot of noise about our attacks on the energy infrastructure of a neighboring country. Yes, we are doing it. But who started? Who hit the Crimean bridge, who blew up the power line from the Kursk nuclear power plant, who did not bring water to Donetsk? As soon as we move to do something in response - noise, din, crackling all over the universe. This will not prevent us from fulfilling combat missions.”
14:25 Podolyak predicted Putin's behavior this winter: "Putin's classic triad, or the Kremlin's stakes for this winter: 1. Genocidal attacks on the energy sector to leave millions without electricity and provoke a flow of refugees. 2. Information campaign about the need for a ceasefire in order to stop suffering. 3. Nuclear intimidation if you lose."
14:06 Head of the Bundestag Defense Committee Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann confirmed media reports that the United States will support the transfer of Leopard 2 tanks by Germany to Ukraine: "This was also confirmed during my visit to Washington during all the discussions in the State Department, Congress, Senate.

13:29 The occupiers are preparing another provocation at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and have already brought several Grad multiple launch rocket systems to the plant, Energoatom said. The MLRS was placed near power unit No. 6, next to the territory of the station's dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, where some "protective structures" were previously built in secret mode.
The most likely upcoming provocation is the shelling of the opposite bank of the Dnieper, in particular the cities of Nikopol and Marganets, directly from the ZNPP site, using the "cover" of power units and storage of spent nuclear fuel.
13:26 The SBU is conducting counterintelligence activities at three facilities of the UOC (MP) in the Korostensky district of the Zhytomyr region.

13:16 Over the past month, seven samples of Ukrainian-made UAVs have been approved for operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Previously, the army took into operation 1-2 UAVs per year, Reznikov said. Currently, 19 more applications for admission to operation of Ukrainian-made UAVs are under consideration, a decision on them is planned to be made before the end of the year. Official approval for operation means that the Ministry of Defense can purchase products, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine can put them on the staff. Previously, this procedure took 1.5-2 years, today it is very fast, the minister noted.
13:10 SBU detained a married couple in Odesa - GRU agents who were preparing a missile attack on air defense forces and artillery depots of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Both detainees - husband and wife - are citizens of the Russian Federation. They were sent to Ukraine in advance in 2018 and received a residence permit. Thus, the Russian military intelligence planned to create its own intelligence apparatus in the south of Ukraine.
12:38 The head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said that the strategic initiative at the front is moving to the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “There is still a lot of fighting ahead. But at this moment the situation on the ground is such that the lines are stabilizing, and with the onset of winter everything will slow down a bit. Then there will be a potential offensive opportunity. Let's see what happens in this regard."
12:33 Hungary at a meeting of EU ambassadors opposed a new package of anti-Russian sanctions, writes the Financial Times, citing sources.
12:20 British intelligence reports that the Russian Federation has completed the arrangement of an almost continuous system of trenches with a length of 60 km between Svatovo, Luhansk region, and the Russian border. Units of the 1st Guards Tank Army of the Russian Federation are deployed along the defense line in the Svatovo area. This army suffered heavy losses at the beginning of the war, including during the retreat from the Kharkiv region in September 2022. At present, it is probably partly reinforced by mobilized reservists, although its strength remains well below the declared one.
12:12 President of the International Committee of the Red Cross Mirjana Spoljarich-Egger announced that she had arrived in Ukraine on a visit: "I arrived in Ukraine on a four-day visit: here, civilians pay a huge price in deadly hostilities."

She will also get acquainted with the teams of the ICRC in Ukraine and the Red Cross Society of Ukraine.
11:59 Peskov said that there is no talk of joining new Ukrainian territories, but there is a lot of work to be done to "liberate territories", since "in a number of new regions of Russia there are occupied territories" that have to be "liberated".
"One of the main goals of the special military operation, as announced by the president on February 24, was to protect the people who live in the southeast of Ukraine, who live in the Donbas. As part of the protection of these people, these territories were formed, which were annexed as a result referendums held there," Peskov said.
Speaking about the timing of the end of the conflict in Ukraine, Peskov noted: "Zelensky knows when it can end, it can be tomorrow."
11:23 Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that the United States, based on documents for the supply of weapons, "plans to stir up hostilities" in Ukraine at least until the end of 2025.

11:17 As of 11:00, a significant shortage of electricity remains in the Ukrainian energy system. Already in the morning, consumption limits were exceeded in several regions and emergency shutdowns were applied, Ukrenergo reported. The situation is complicated by weather conditions: in many regions in the west of the country, frost, rain with snow and strong gusts of wind lead to icing of the wires and their damage.
The most difficult situation remains in the eastern region - in the evening the enemy again subjected several areas to massive artillery fire. After receiving permission from the military, repair work will begin. Emergency recovery work continues around the clock in the Kyiv and Odessa regions. In Odessa, the process of connecting household consumers according to backup schemes is underway.
11:13 The head of the Nikolaev OVA, Vitaly Kim, said that the authorities, together with the military, are preparing "a separate package of countermeasures, based on what the Russians have done." He recalled that there had been no shelling of Nikolaev for almost a month, and that night the invaders specially went to the front line, to the firing range, in order to shell Nikolaev without any military task.
10:40 Putin became the loser of the year according to Politico: "Vladimir Putin's dream of a great Russia is unlikely to come true. His full-scale offensive into Ukraine began to fall apart almost as quickly as it began ... The troops that briefly threatened Kiev are barely holding on in the east of the country "His decision to call on hundreds of thousands of new soldiers forced men of military age to leave the country."
10:37 The International Committee of the Red Cross reported that last week its representatives conducted a two-day visit to Ukrainian prisoners of war, and another visit is taking place this week. At the same time, visits to Russian prisoners of war took place, the next one is scheduled for the end of the month, the ICRC said, without specifying any details.
09:45 The House Foreign Relations Committee voted 26 to 22 to reject a bill filed by Republican Marjorie Taylor Green on a large-scale test of US aid to Ukraine, writes The Washington Post. "Now is not the time for us to be divided. We stuck together with NATO and the EU. Let's not fall into this trap," said Gregory Meeks, member of the House of Representatives from New York.
09:41 The head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai, said that the Russians would soon have to say goodbye to Svatovo and Kremennaya. According to him, they understand this, so they are preparing for the next defense in Starobelsk.

09:17 The Biden administration is considering the transfer of cluster munitions to Ukraine, writes CNN. The White House has been considering Ukraine's request for their supply for several months and has not yet rejected it. The United States considers this option as an emergency. The Ukrainian side asks for cluster shells for HIMARS and 155mm howitzers. The United States has a large stockpile of such munitions, since they have been decommissioned in the country since 2016.
Cluster munitions are prohibited by the 2008 convention. It was signed by about 100 countries, but Ukraine, the United States and Russia did not join it. Russia actively uses such ammunition in Ukraine.
09:12 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that Putin is creating the conditions for a protracted war in Ukraine. Analysts refer to his speech yesterday, where Putin said that a “special operation” in Ukraine could be a “long process”, that the seizure of new territories is an important result for Russia, and that Russia now controls the Sea of Azov, which Peter I fought for.
ISW experts noted that the reference to Russian imperial history delineates Putin's current goals in Ukraine as overtly imperialist and still maximalist. Putin is setting up Russian domestic audiences for a protracted, grueling war in Ukraine aimed at conquering new Ukrainian territories, analysts say. At the same time, the Russian information space reacted positively to Putin's imperialist statements.
Also, ISW analysts believe that an operational pause on the battlefield will benefit Russia. An operational pause in the winter would bring Ukraine's counter-offensives to a premature end, increase the likelihood that Ukraine would lose the initiative, and give degraded Russian troops a valuable 3-4 month respite to rebuild and prepare.
However, Putin still does not want to stop hostilities, and the Russian military continues offensive operations around Bakhmut. Therefore, Putin's fixation on continuing offensive operations around Bakhmut and elsewhere helps Ukraine maintain military initiative in other areas of hostilities.
