Who would have thought Moscow would experience winter this year as it does every year?
[Regnum] Residents of Moscow and guests of the capital are advised to follow traffic rules and be careful due to worsening weather conditions. An emergency warning about adverse meteorological phenomena was issued on November 12 by the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations throughout the city of Moscow.

“Until 06:00 in the morning of November 13, rain, heavy in places, and increased southeast winds with gusts of up to 15 m/s are expected in Moscow,” the department’s press service said.

Motorists are advised to reduce their speed, increase their distance, and not park their cars near trees; pedestrians are advised to avoid billboards and not hide under trees.

As Regnum reported, on November 12, leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Evgeny Tishkovets , said that in the next 24 hours a cyclonic vortex will hit Moscow, which will bring abnormal rains - up to 15-20 millimeters of precipitation, which is about 30% of the monthly norm, or 1.5–2 buckets of rainwater per square meter.

In addition, on November 17, meteorological winter will begin in the capital region, and there will be a steady transition of the average daily air temperature beyond 0°C towards negative values.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Another US state recognizes the Holodomor as genocide of Ukrainians - Markarova
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] More and more people recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people
To be fair, it wasn’t originally intended to be aimed at the Ukrainians as a people, as far as I can tell, but of the Ukrainian kulaks as an economic class. That the rest of their non-kulak neighbours also died of the engineered famine in their millions was no doubt considered ...mildly regrettable. It turns out that functionally there is no difference between the genocide of a people and the genocide of an economic class.
In 2023, it will be 91 years since the USSR authorities organized targeted measures to confiscate grain and other food products from the inhabitants of Ukraine in 1932, which led to the Holodomor.

The state of Wyoming became the 32nd US state to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. In particular, the state declared November as the month of remembrance of the Ukrainian Holodomor-genocide. The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Oksana Markarova, announced this on Sunday, November 12, on her Facebook page.

She thanked Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon for his solidarity with Ukraine, and the Ukrainian public in the United States for its active campaign to perpetuate the memory of the victims of the Holodomor by organizing educational events about this crime of the Soviet regime against Ukrainians.

Markarova also recalled that on November 25, a memorial ceremony for the victims of the Holodomor is planned in Washington, which will take place at 16.30 near the Memorial to the Victims of the Holodomor.

Let us note that after the start of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, a number of countries recognized the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. These are, in particular: Great Britain, Slovenia, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, Romania, Moldova, Germany, Iceland, France, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, Croatia.

Let us recall that the American states of Washington, Maryland and Arizona recognized the Holodomor in Ukraine of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people. They also proclaimed November as the month of remembrance of this tragedy.

In July, the Italian Senate voted to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the Ukrainian people.

And in May, the French Senate supported the recognition of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of Ukrainians.

#1  Which is of course bullshit: collectivization was a crime against all peoples in Soviet Union* - not directed against Ukrainians specifically.

*Also, IMO, a brilliant experiment in natural selection. Divide the land equaly among all peasants. 10 years later, proclaim everyone who become successful "Enemy of the People" and exile them. Spend the next 60 years buying wheat from Americans.
p.s. USA is running their own experiments along the same lines nowadays.

#2  It turns out that functionally there is no difference between the genocide of a people and the genocide of an economic class.

Exactly correct! Yet another distinction without a difference. The engineered pandemic was the tool, population reduction through modern medicine was the game.

Big Pharma has simply become too successful. The human longevity trend must be reversed.

#3  @#1 - I understand the Kazaks got hit hard during this, too, so the Ukrainians didn't have a monopoly on this as much as they might want the world to believe.

#4  First vaccine for chikungunya virus, an 'emerging global health threat,' gets FDA approval

"Most people who contract the virus get better within a week."

Why a vaccine?

#5  Have to get people used to a shot any old time for no reason at all. Will make the mass lethal injections easier to carry out.

08:40 Summary as of November 12, 2023

Western assessments of the situation on the Ukrainian front with the word “parity” migrated to our observers, transforming into the word “deadlock.” While this word is used by military, economic and political experts on the Internet, the ears of TV viewers are still being protected. According to our forecasts, nothing changes.

The war will be long. It’s just that in the coming months there will be an accumulation of the combat potential of the Russian Armed Forces for decisive action. The largest of them, with simultaneous enthusiastic cries from the TV (regardless of the result of the actions themselves), will begin closer to spring and the elections of the President of Russia. To the front.

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Avdeevsky direction. There are successes of our troops on the northern ledge in the area of the settlement. Stepovoye, to the outskirts of which our troops advanced. The control zone near the railway in that area is expanding. At the coke plant, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly being attacked.

There is a slight advance of the Russian Army in the southern direction near the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center. The Avdeevsky ledge itself is a conventional square of 8X8 km of continuous minefields and concrete fortifications. The enemy is forced to constantly transfer reinforcements to Avdievka from other sectors of the front, reducing the reserves of the second echelons. Enemy military analysts note that the Russian Armed Forces have not yet committed large reserves to battle.

The Kherson direction remains one of the most difficult sections of the front. First of all, because of the accumulated problems in organizing our actions at various levels. The tragic death of our column, which for some reason stood idle in the village. Gladkovka, 20 km from the front, is one of the indicators of an almost negligent attitude towards past mistakes.

The organization of warnings about air attacks raises questions - the strike on Skadovsk, as a result of which our citizens died, characterizes the organization of the transmission of signals about such threats. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to expand their presence in Krynki, near Peschanivka and Podstepnoye.

Our soldiers steadfastly hold back enemy attacks, destroying daily a significant number of personnel on both banks of the Dnieper, capturing captured soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, the enemy is increasing its efforts in the second stage of the offensive operation: helicopters are being used to attack our positions from the Krynok area.

In Crimea, two enemy kamikaze MBECs once again reduced the potential of the Black Sea Fleet to combat surface targets. There were no booms at the boats’ base point (Chernomorskoe settlement). In the enemy's plans at the upcoming stage, the North-West of Crimea is the site of an auxiliary strike from the sea, which is designed to pin down the forces on the shore and not allow maneuver of forces and means.

The Zaporozhye front is characterized by the transfer of enemy attacks to the west from Rabotino, constant and strong artillery artillery attack and counter battles at Verbovoy, and enemy attacks on civilian infrastructure in the rear. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are still using armored vehicles and trying to break through our defenses. Several runs a day.

The steadfastness and dedication of our soldiers and commanders, holding back the enemy at the cost of losses, made it possible for politicians at various levels to talk about the completion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive, which was unsuccessful for Kyiv, but the enemy’s attacks continue, combat work is underway.

Local battles took place near Ugledar; our command looks at Ugledar itself with caution, remembering the heavy losses at the beginning of the year. Positional battles are also taking place in the Vremevsky direction.

A new element of the situation was the offensive of our troops on Kleshcheevka, which is located in the gray zone. The Russian Armed Forces were entrenched in the ruins on the northern side and reported battles near the heights near the village.

Russian Aerospace Forces hit militant targets in the Syrian province of Idlib
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Russian military aviation worked on positions of militants in the Syrian province of Idlib involved in shelling of government troops in the Arab Republic, said Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy head of the Russian center for reconciliation of warring parties in the Syrian Arab Republic .

“On November 11, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out air strikes in Idlib province against targets of illegal armed groups involved in shelling the positions of Syrian government troops,” he said.

According to the rear admiral, as a result of the attack, underground shelters and training camps of the terrorist group Jabhat Al-Nusra (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) were destroyed. More than 60 militants were wounded and 34 terrorists were killed, Kulit added.

Over the past 24 hours, in the Idlib de-escalation zone, seven attacks on the positions of Syrian government troops were recorded from the terrorist groups Jabhat Al-Nusra and the Islamic Party of Turkestan (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation). Thus, the Russian center for reconciliation of warring parties in Syria registered two shellings in the province of Aleppo, the same number in Latakia, and three shellings in the province of Idlib.

As reported by IA Regnum , earlier the Russian Aerospace Forces used airstrikes to hit three underground shelters of militants in Syria involved in armed provocations. In addition, the so-called international “coalition” led by the United States in Syria has repeatedly violated deconfliction protocols, noted the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic.

On November 11, an Israeli army plane, in response to an attack in the direction of the Golan Heights, struck terrorist infrastructure facilities in Syria. Two days ago, Houthi spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saria said that the Shiite Ansar Allah movement had claimed responsibility for another shelling of the city of Eilat.

#1  Killing oddles of civilians, but - for some odd reason - sans worldwide protests. Just kidding: Syrians learned long ago NOT to be human shields - because the enemy not Yehud.
