[Korrespondent] 19.37 The number of casualties as a result of shelling by Russian troops has increased in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Thus, 34 casualties are known in Dnipro and Krivoy Rog. ![]() 18.37 Main Intelligence Directorate fighters launched a missile strike on a concentration of Russian invaders in the Zaporizhia region - a platoon of occupiers was eliminated. 18.22 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with a UK delegation led by Chief of the Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Anthony Radakin. They discussed further development and enhancement of the technological capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. 18.03 As a result of the strike by Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the underground command post of the Russian army in the Kursk region, at least 18 Russian soldiers were killed and dozens were injured. This is reported by Russian publics. 17:15 If the strike by a Russian intercontinental ballistic missile on Ukraine is confirmed, it will be an extremely serious event, which will indicate a continuation of escalation by Russia, said French Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoyne. 16:16 The use of an intercontinental ballistic missile to strike Ukraine demonstrates yet another round of aggression on the part of Russia and shows that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is not interested in peace talks, European Commission spokesman Peter Stano said at a briefing. 15.51 International human rights organization Amnesty International has condemned US President Joe Biden's decision to provide anti-personnel mines to Ukraine and called it "reckless." 14.04 Russia continues to test new weapons in Ukraine, once again demonstrating its disregard for dignity and freedom. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky in an address to Ukrainians, reacting to the enemy's intercontinental missile strike on the Dnieper. 13.10 Another Georgian fighter, 24-year-old Levan Lokhishvili, has died in the war in Ukraine. The soldier died in the Kherson region when a homemade drone exploded. 12.19 A video has appeared online that may indicate the first-ever combat use of an intercontinental ballistic missile. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the missile strike was carried out on November 21 from a test site in the Astrakhan region of Russia on targets in Dnepr. 12:10 Unknown drones were spotted Wednesday morning in Russia's Astrakhan region. It was from there that the Russians launched an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine. 11.43 Hungarian Defense Minister Kristof Szalay-Bobrovnicki said he had ordered the deployment of air defense systems in areas of the country closest to the border with Ukraine, citing fears of escalation after Ukraine was allowed to fire Western weapons deep into Russian territory. 11.38 Russian invaders struck the city of Krivoy Rog. There are 15 known casualties. 11.22 Strikes by Western long-range weapons against Russia will change the nature of the war. This is stated in a report by the Institute for the Study of War. ISW analysts came to the conclusion that the series of strikes on November 19-20 indicate that Ukraine has already begun to use long-range weapons systems provided by the West to create more complex strikes, which will help it effectively wage war against the Russian aggressor. 11:00 The United States allows for an exchange of nuclear strikes if necessary, but the country must simultaneously retain part of its arsenal to further deter opponents. As a result of the use of nuclear weapons, the United States must "continue to lead the world," the Pentagon emphasized. 10.51 As a result of the missile attack by Russian aggressors on the city of Dnepr, two people were injured. The local OVA reported on the damage caused. 10.40 The NASAMS system from Canada is on its way to Ukraine. The air defense system is already in Poland and should soon be sent across the border, said Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair. 9.59 Russian troops dropped an aerial bomb on a residential area of ​​Konstantinovka in the Donetsk region. The attack injured six civilians and damaged 10 apartment buildings. 9.45. Russia launched an intercontinental ballistic missile and eight other missiles at the Dnieper. The Ukrainian Air Force destroyed six Kh-101 missiles. 9.01 As a result of Russian shelling, one of the two power lines at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant has been cut off.

As of the morning of November 21, there are 24 Russian ships there, 5 of which are carriers of Kalibrs with a total salvo of up to 28 missiles. 03:24 The Telegraph writes about major problems in Ukraine's air defense that could arise if Trump cancels arms supplies to Ukraine. The Patriot air defense systems currently in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces will very quickly cease to be useful, since Ukraine has a very small stock of missiles for them. Without permission from the White House, Ukraine will not be able to buy them even at its own expense. Theoretically, the Patriot air defense systems could replace the SAMP/T systems, but their number in the world is very limited. In addition, they could also have American components. |
