Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Korrespondent] 23:08 Scholz believes that a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine is impossible at the moment: “We all want this war to end and for peace to become possible. This is also the theme of all the negotiations that I have so far had with the Russian president, and I I did not allow any criticism to distract me from my telephone conversations with the President of the Russian Federation ... With this murderous war that we are now experiencing, Putin, first of all, prevented everything that had happened before in terms of negotiations. Scholz stressed that he opposes a ceasefire on Russia's terms.

23:03 The German government has allocated an additional 1 billion euros from its budget for 2023 to support Ukraine - the funds will be used to protect against Russian cyber attacks and collect evidence of Russian war crimes.

22:21 Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said that Ukraine does not plan to freeze the war after the de-occupation of Kherson: “We are not a cold store. We must liberate our territories regardless of the weather, regardless of the season. people, we see them suffer."

21:53 Macron congratulated Ukraine on the return of Kherson: "Congratulations on the return of Kherson to Ukraine, this is an important step towards the full restoration of its sovereign rights. France will continue to support Ukrainians and Ukrainian women."

21:51 Ukrainians today are crying in social networks, congratulating the residents of Kherson on their liberation and laughing at the flight of the occupiers. More details - in the material Turning around .

21:36 On Saturday, November 12, scheduled power outages will operate from 00:00 to 24:00 in Kiev, Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv and Poltava regions. In other regions of Ukraine, shutdowns are not predicted, Ukrenergo reported.

21:27 Head of the Ministry of Digital Development Mikhail Fedorov said that they managed to raise money for the second sea drone - Lithuanian journalist Andrius Tapinas, together with the people of Lithuania, raised 250 thousand dollars, they will be transferred through UNITED24. Lithuanian friends will choose the name for the drone themselves.

20:41 Sweden will soon decide on the transfer of the latest weapons systems to Ukraine, Defense Minister Paul Jonsson said after the meeting of the EU Council: "We intend to return as soon as possible with the subsequent support of Ukraine - both political, financial and military, which will include transfer of more advanced weapons systems".

20:12 The head of the Nikolaev OVA, Vitaly Kim, said that the entire Nikolaev region (except for the Kinburn Spit ) was released. "And yes, the water conduit from the Dnieper is under our control (but also demining). I will soon know the timing of the potential restoration of drinking water in Nikolaev," he wrote.

19:56 In the course of successful offensive operations, the advanced units of Ukrainian troops in some places have already reached the right bank of the Dnieper, the General Staff said in an evening summary . Measures are being taken to identify and destroy the enemy in a number of settlements. Due to the safety of the operation, the official release of the results will be provided later.

The enemy is concentrating his efforts on deterring the actions of the defense forces in certain directions, improving the fortification equipment of the defensive lines on the left bank of the Dnieper and in the north of Crimea. At the same time, it is conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut, Avdeevsky and Novopavlovsky directions.

19:47 Zelensky, in an evening video message, called today's historic day: "We are returning Kherson. As of now, our defenders are on the outskirts of the city. But special units are already in the city. Kherson residents have been waiting. They have never abandoned Ukraine. Hope for Ukraine is always justified - and Ukraine always returns its own. And even when the city is not yet completely cleared of a hostile presence, the Kherson people themselves are already removing Russian symbols and any traces of the occupation of Kherson from the streets and buildings. It was the same in all other cities liberated by our defenders. It will be the same in those cities that are still awaiting our return."

19:43 In the Kherson region, Ukrainian television is already available on the T2 digital television network, the President's Office reported.

19:28 Law enforcement officers have begun stabilization measures in Kherson, said the head of the National Police Ihor Klymenko. According to him, they will last for several weeks: "Everything will depend on the number of citizens who remained in the de-occupied territories, and the array of information that we will receive from various sources."

19:23 British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace acknowledged that there is a risk of Western weapons provided to Ukraine getting into Iran, but such weapons do not contain advanced technologies, and therefore this fact does not cause much concern: "Of course, we do not want such things to happen, but , in fact, this is the risk we took when we decided that it was important to help Ukraine." At the same time, he added that this risk has the opposite effect: Britain and its NATO allies were able to study Russian weapons seized by the Ukrainians.

19:20 After the end of the war, NATO membership will become a priority for Ukraine, said Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stefanishyna. At the same time, she did not rule out that a positive solution to the issue of Ukraine's entry into the alliance could become possible even before the end of the war.

19:16 Zelensky showed a video from the liberated Kherson:

19:09 Russia has imposed a ban on the entry of 200 US citizens, including the Biden family - the sister and brothers of the US President, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

18:45 Putin said that the war he unleashed in Ukraine is going according to plan, and the temporarily occupied territories are forever part of Russia. Now, while Putin's army is fleeing from Kherson, he himself is silent and refuses to visit the G20 summit in Indonesia. The Russian leader is running out of options for Ukraine. For more details, see Dictator's Dead End .

18:18 Zelensky said that he had talked with Olaf Scholz: "We discussed the situation on the battlefield, including new Russian strikes on civilians. We supported the continuation of the grain initiative and agreed on positions on the eve of the G20 summit. Thank you for Germany's significant contribution to the defense of our skies and borders ".

17:56 Kherson has been returned under the control of Ukraine today. Parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine enter the city, local residents meet them with tears and hugs. More details - in the material How the inhabitants of Kherson meet the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

17:40 Ukraine is building a wall on the border with Belarus. In particular, engineering barriers in the form of a moat, an embankment and a reinforced concrete fence with barbed wire are now being built in Volhynia, the OP reported. About 3 km of the border has already been equipped, work continues. Also, work is underway in the Rivne and Zhytomyr regions. They are building fortifications and equipping the border also in the regions bordering the territory of the Russian Federation.

17:37 Zelensky said that he had met in Kiev with the speaker of the Seimas of Lithuania, Victoria Cmilyte-Nielsen: "We discussed further cooperation on the path of European and Euro-Atlantic integration of our state and other important issues."

17:32 Ukrainians are not yet advised to return to the de-occupied Kherson region, since the Russians are shelling this territory and energy facilities in the region, Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of the OK Pivden, said: "Settlements in the Beryslav region, which have already been liberated from the presence of the enemy, there are constant shelling and the situation worsens "Infrastructure and communications are suffering. We do not recommend returning there. Winter is approaching, and there is a possibility that it will be impossible to resume communications and services to the local population."

According to her, out of impotence, the occupiers are shelling the de-occupied territory, as well as the Nikopol district, which is actually located opposite the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

17:27 After the start of frosts, the power shortage in the energy system will increase by 2-3 times, which is why the people of Kiev can sit without electricity for 10-12 hours, said Dmitry Sakharuk, Executive Director of DTEK. According to him, new buildings on the left bank of the capital will be the most vulnerable.

17:23 Soldiers from the 46th brigade of the Airborne Troops reported that they had liberated Baratovka, Elizavetovka, Romanovo-Bulgakovo, Yasnaya Polyana and Limanets.

16:56 In the Beryslav district of the Kherson region, the remains of the bodies of three civilians who died during the occupation were found. They have traces of skull fractures and other bodily injuries, the prosecutor's office said.

16:21 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that in total, more than 30,000 Russian servicemen, about 5,000 pieces of weapons and military equipment, as well as tangible property, were allegedly withdrawn to the left bank of the Dnieper. Also, all Russian military equipment that was to be repaired was allegedly removed.

16:04 Now "heavy and powerful" combat work is underway in Kherson, so the Ukrainian military maintain informational silence around the liberation of territories. The fortifications of the Russians on the left bank are located quite close, so the Ukrainian fighters are preparing for massive shelling, said Natalya Gumenyuk, speaker of OK Pivden.

15:47 Head of the Ministry of Digital Development Mikhail Fedorov said that money has already been raised on the UNITED24 platform for the first sea drone, it will be called Kherson .

15:41 Ukrposhta launches a new stamp called Kherson - this is Ukraine! , said Igor Smelyansky: "This is the first postage stamp dedicated to the hero city, after which other heroic cities will definitely appear. And although the liberation of Kherson has not yet been officially announced, according to the good old tradition that began with the ship a couple of days before the event, because Ukrposhta knows for sure that our military is the best, and de-occupation is only a matter of time."

15:37 At a meeting of the Organization of Turkic States, Erdogan and Orban called for an early truce and the start of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister's spokesman Bertalan Havasi said: "The leaders of the two countries agreed that a ceasefire, negotiations and peace are needed as soon as possible ". They also called on the leaders of other states to make joint efforts to resolve the conflict.

15:26 The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine appealed to the Russian servicemen, whom the command abandoned in Kherson: "Kherson is returning under the control of Ukraine, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are entering the city. The retreat routes of the Russian invaders are under the fire control of the Ukrainian army. Any attempts to counteract the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be suppressed. Every Russian soldier who resists will be destroyed. Your only chance to avoid death is to immediately surrender. In case of voluntary surrender, Ukraine guarantees your life and safety."

Citizens of Ukraine from the occupied territories, who were forcibly "conscripted" and forced to fight on the side of the Russian Federation, must report this to the Ukrainian military.

14:53 On the UNITED24 fundraising platform, fundraising for the world's first Ukrainian fleet of sea drones has begun. "We must protect the waters of our seas and peaceful cities from Russian missiles launched from ships. Sea drones will also help unblock the corridor for civilian ships carrying grain for the whole world," Zelensky stressed.

14:51 Zelensky said that he had held a regular meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief: “We identified priority measures to stabilize the situation in the recently de-occupied territories. We must return peaceful life to our people. They have been waiting for this for a long time. We also discussed strengthening the protection of energy infrastructure from enemy attacks and restoring the victims as a result of Russian shelling of objects. Ukraine should be as prepared for winter as possible."

14:38 Telegram channels publish photos and videos of the liberated settlements of the Kherson region:

14:29 Another exchange of prisoners took place - 45 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were released , among them soldiers and sergeants. The bodies of two dead defenders were also returned, Yermak said.

14:25 In the Kherson region, civilians ran into a mine that the invaders left behind. As a result, four were wounded, including two children aged 9 and 14, the OP reported.

14:01 In Nikolaev, the number of those killed after an enemy strike on a residential building increased to seven - the bodies of six dead were released from the rubble, one more person died in the hospital, reported in the OP.

13:42 Ukrainian defenders from the 28th separate mechanized brigade reported the de-occupation of the village of Klapaya, Kherson region, 21 km from Kherson. The M-14 highway (Odessa - Melitopol - Novoazovsk) passes through the settlement.

13:39 In Kherson, the occupiers, who did not have time to escape, change into civilian clothes and hide in residential buildings, and the uniform is thrown into the trash, journalist Konstantin Ryzhenko said. "Very nervous, they speak in raised tones. They threaten to shoot if they think they are being filmed," he said.

13:36 First Deputy Chairman of the Kherson Regional Council Yuri Sobolevsky called on the residents of Kherson and other settlements of the right-bank Kherson region to exercise maximum caution in the coming days. In particular, to minimize movement around the city, not to touch any suspicious objects, including abandoned vehicles and equipment of Russians. It is also forbidden to enter administrative buildings and places of former deployment of Russians - this can be dangerous.

13:31 In the center of Kherson, residents are waiting for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In public they write that the Ukrainian military entered one of the districts of the city. Yermak posted a hint post: "11/11/22".

13:28 In the Saltovsky district of Kharkiv, two children were blown up by an unknown explosive device. Two boys aged 15 and 12 found an unknown object in the bushes near the house, which detonated. As a result of the explosion, the children received shrapnel wounds and were hospitalized, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.

13:22 Ukrenergo reports that emergency emergency shutdowns of consumers in Sumy, Kharkiv and Poltava regions have been additionally applied. Emergency shutdowns are also additionally applied in Kyiv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr regions. In all other regions of Ukraine, planned shutdowns continue to operate.

13:03 Despite the announced retreat, the Russian military continues to remain in Kherson, who can set traps for our fighters. The Ukrainian military say they are ready for "surprises." About what the Armed Forces of Ukraine expects in Kherson - in the material The battle continues?

12:24 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced that today at 5:00 Moscow time the transfer of Russian units to the left bank of the Dnieper was completed. The department assures that "not a single piece of military equipment and weapons was left on the right bank, all Russian servicemen crossed to the left bank, no losses of personnel, weapons, military equipment and materiel of the Russian group were allowed." Also, all civilians who wished to leave the right-bank part of the Kherson region were assisted in evacuation.

12:15 To conduct information operations, the Russians were creating their network abroad even before the start of a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The special services of the partner countries to this day identify people who are either agents of the Russian Federation or "agents of influence" of the Russian Federation, Andriy Chernyak, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to him, the Russians are trying to make it impossible for Western weapons to reach Ukraine by any means: space intelligence, an intelligence network, and all means of political and economic blackmail are involved. Information attacks through the media are just one of the components of a large-scale information operation to discredit Ukraine before the Western world.

As examples of information operations, Chernyak cited the fictitious sale of Western weapons by Ukraine or the use of a "dirty bomb" by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. "The Russians are spending millions of dollars to finance this particular information campaign to counter the flow of weapons. It is large-scale and so far ineffective. However, the terrorist country does not leave attempts to influence European countries, in particular Great Britain, and German society," the representative of the GUR added.

11:44 In Kiev, from 12:00, emergency schedules of power outages are canceled and hourly power outage schedules are returned, YASNO reported.

11:42 In Ukraine, about 70% of houses and social infrastructure are already connected to heat, Shmyhal said.

11:34 The number of those killed as a result of a strike on a residential building in Nikolaev has increased to six, the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim said.

11:29 Peskov said that Putin's online presence at the G20 and APEC summits or his video message to the participants is not planned.

11:27 Peskov said that it is possible to achieve the goals of the "special operation" through "peace negotiations", but they are now impossible due to the position of the Ukrainian side. According to him, Ukraine does not want negotiations, and Russia can complete the "special military operation" after achieving its goals.

Peskov also said that the Kherson region remains a "subject of the Russian Federation", this "status" is fixed, there can be no changes here. At the same time, he answered negatively to the question whether the Kremlin considers leaving Kherson to be humiliating.

10:54 Ukrainian public reports that in the center of Kherson, on the pedestal of the monument to the Heroes of the Heavenly Hundred, partisans set the State Flag of Ukraine .

10:49 Russian telegram channels report that the Russian army blew up the Antonovsky bridge during the retreat, several spans were destroyed.

10:43 The next meeting in the Ramstein format will be held online next week. The seventh meeting of the Contact Group will be chaired by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Pentagon Deputy Speaker Sabrina Singh said. Representatives from 50 countries will take part in the event.

10:38 Emergency power cuts are being applied today in Kiev, Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr regions, Ukrenergo reported. At night and in the morning, emergency shutdowns were applied in the Sumy, Kharkiv and Poltava regions. They have already been stopped, planned shutdowns continue to operate. But the current situation in the power system can change, especially during the evening peak of electricity consumption. In all other regions of Ukraine, planned shutdowns continue to operate.

09:59 The number of those killed as a result of a strike on a residential building in Nikolaev has increased to five, the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim said.

09:54 Reznikov, in an interview with Reuters, called the idea of ​​​​exploding the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Russians during the retreat "crazy". He explained that such a move would lead to flooding of the territories controlled by the Russian Federation, as well as blocking the access of Russians to fresh water through the canal from the Dnieper to the annexed Crimea.

09:49 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of November 11th. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Bakhmut direction.

  • personnel - about 79,400 (+710) people liquidated,

  • tanks - 2814 (+10),

  • armored combat vehicles - 5696 (+14),

  • artillery systems - 1817 (+12),

  • MLRS - 393 (+0),

  • air defense systems - 205 (+0),

  • aircraft - 278 (+0),

  • helicopters - 261 (+1),

  • UAV operational-tactical level - 1505 (+6),

  • cruise missiles - 399 (+0),

  • ships/boats - 16 (+0),

  • automotive equipment and tankers - 4259 (+17),

  • special equipment - 159 (+0).

09:43 Over the past day, the Russians continued shelling the settlements of the Kharkiv region, located along the state border with the Russian Federation and the collision line. In particular, the enemy shelled the towns and villages of Kharkov, Chuguevsky and Kupyansky districts from mortars, rocket and cannon artillery. One person was wounded in the Kupyansky district, another went to the doctors after being wounded the day before, Oleg Sinegubov, the head of the regional police department, said.

09:39 In the Donetsk region, as a result of enemy shelling over the past day, two civilians were killed - in Bakhmut and Avdiivka. In addition, law enforcement officers found the bodies of six killed by the Russians during the occupation - four in Drobyshevo and two in Yarovaya. Five more people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

09:31 In occupied Melitopol, an explosion sounded in the entrance of the house where collaborator Andrey Boyko lives - "the head of the department of culture and sports." The local "administration" reports that the bomb was planted in a storm drain near the entrance of his house. In the house, the explosion damaged the entrance and the apartment on the ground floor, Boyko himself was slightly shell-shocked, nothing threatens his life.

09:26 British intelligence predicts that the damage that Russian troops continue to inflict on Ukraine's electricity grid will almost certainly affect interconnected water supply and heating systems, which will be most tangibly felt by the civilian population in winter, when the need for them increases. Analysts note that the Russian Federation is striking Ukraine's electricity infrastructure in waves. The last intense strikes were recorded on October 31, when the hydroelectric dams were hit for the first time.

The priority of critical national infrastructure over military targets clearly indicates Russia's intention to strike at the morale of the civilian population, intelligence concludes.

09:17 The new commander-in-chief of Russian troops in Ukraine, Sergei Surovikin, changed tactics, using terror, Reznikov said in an interview with Reuters: "He changed tactics because he uses terror tactics against civilians and infrastructure, using cruise missiles, rockets and drones, special Iranian drones". Reznikov also believes that under the command of Surovikin, the occupying army has become more disciplined.

08:58 Yasno CEO Sergei Kovalenko said that at night the Russians again attacked energy facilities in Ukraine. In Kyiv, emergency shutdowns "in significant volumes" will be introduced today, schedules will not work.

08:50 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that the ongoing great Ukrainian victory in the Kherson region will not be the last. Analysts note that the Russians have so far been withdrawing in a relatively organized manner, and Ukrainian troops are achieving the expected successes without breaking Russian forces, as was the case during the Kharkov counteroffensive. Ukrainian strikes since August have successfully destroyed Russian supply lines on the right bank, forcing Russian troops to retreat and allowing the Kherson region to be liberated as far as the Dnieper River in the coming days or weeks, experts say.

The ISW also believes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are unlikely to stop their counteroffensive due to the onset of winter. Winter weather could disproportionately damage poorly equipped Russian forces in Ukraine, analysts say, but well-supplied Ukrainian forces are unlikely to halt their counteroffensives and be able to take advantage of the frozen terrain for easier movement.

At the same time, autumn and spring mud can slow down or stop hostilities, as can faulty or inadequate winter equipment. Some military equipment may have to be adapted to cold weather, and lack of equipment or ammunition may slow progress due to logistical difficulties rather than winter weather. If the fighting stops this winter, it will be due to logistical problems and the completion of several campaigns on both sides, ISW analysts say.

At the same time, ISW indicates that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will try to advance as far as possible before the arrival of reinforcements of the invaders - the Russians are preparing 120,000 conscripts for the spring to be sent to the front.

08:26 Zelensky showed a video with the consequences of a Russian strike on a residential building in Nikolaev:

07:47 At night Russians fired at the residential quarter of Nikolaev. One of the rockets hit the five-story building, destruction from the fifth to the first floor. Currently, two dead and two wounded are known, the search and rescue operation continues, Mayor Alexander Senkevich said.

07:35 During the successful offensive operations of the Ukrainian troops in the Kherson direction on November 9 this year, 12 settlements were liberated: Dudchany, Pyatikhatki, Borozenskoe, Sadok, Bezvodnoye, Ishchenko, Kostromka, Krasnolyubetsk, Kalinovskoye, Bobrovy Kut, Bezymyanny and Blagodatnoye. Offensive operations in this direction continue, for reasons of security of the operation, the official publication of the results will be later, the General Staff said in the morning summary .

Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled the attacks of the invaders in the areas of the settlements of Novoselovskoe, Myasozharovka, Makeevka and Belogorovka in the Luhansk region and Vesele, Soledar, Bakhmut, Andreevka, Krasnogorovka, Opytnoe, Pervomaiskoye, Nevelskoye, Maryinka and Pavlovka in the Donetsk region.

The invaders continue to plunder the settlements from which they retreat. The enemy is also trying to damage power lines and other elements of the transport and critical infrastructure of the Kherson region as much as possible. There is a forced eviction of local residents from certain settlements of the Kherson region. In the village of Zelenovka, the enemy forbade the inhabitants of any movement in the settlement and is re-equipping the defense lines. In Tyaginka and Kazatsky, the occupiers mined roads and infrastructure, there are facts of explosions of the civilian population.

04:46 The Russians hit one of the critical infrastructure facilities in the Vinnitsa region. There are no casualties, said the head of the OVA, Sergei Borzov.

03:50 The United States has deprived the Russian economy of the status of a market economy due to the increased influence of the state on it, the Ministry of Commerce said. This decision, according to the ministry, will give the United States the opportunity to fully apply national anti-dumping legislation against Russia and reduce pressure on US enterprises due to "unfair import operations."

01:17 Reznikov said in an interview with Reuters that Ukrainian troops after the alleged winter pause in hostilities will be reinforced by thousands of soldiers who are now being trained in the UK. He added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use the winter time for preparation, renewal and reinforcement: "We use this time with the maximum result for our Armed Forces, for regrouping, for renewal, for rotation, and we will prepare them well."

00:28 Reznikov said that Russia would need at least a week to withdraw troops from Kherson. According to him, the invaders are holding about 40,000 servicemen in the Kherson region, including in Kherson.

11:53 Heavy artillery of the 1st Slavic Brigade beats on Ukrainian fighters

Artillery guns of the First Slavic Brigade fire 152mm shells at enemy positions, supporting the actions of the infantry, destroying the point of temporary deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

11:47 Starobilsk direction situation as of 11.00 November 11, 2022

🔻At the moment, there are no changes in the situation in the Starobelsky direction. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are unsuccessfully trying to storm the borders of the RF Armed Forces with small forces.

▪️In the Kupyansky sector, the command of the 14th Brigade equipped advanced observation posts west of Kislovka. UAV operators of the 14th brigade open the firing positions of Russian artillery.

▪️In the Svatovsky sector, assault detachments of the 92nd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine once again attacked the strongholds of the RF Armed Forces in Kuzemovka. Artillery fire drove the formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine back. At the turn of Peschanoe - Stelmakhovka, a rotation of personnel was carried out.

▪️In the Limansky sector, separate Ukrainian units of the 25th Airborne Brigade tried three times a day to gain a foothold in the area west of Krasnopopovka.

Russian troops repelled the offensive. The command of the Ukrainian unit, despite significant losses, forbade leaving positions until the task was completed.

🔻The situation in the Starobelsky direction is still stable. However, the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson opens the possibility for the transfer of freed resources to other sectors not only for the RF Armed Forces, but also for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


Since in the current situation it is unprofitable for Ukrainian formations to cross the Dnieper, most likely, some formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be transferred to other directions.

Given that the Donetsk and Soledar directions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are held by relatively small forces due to the presence of powerful fortified areas, the "Nikolaev" brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should be expected precisely in the Starobelsk direction.

Russian Foreign Ministry announces a ban on the entry of 200 US citizens
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Forkbeard will use this as proof I'm a Russian operative

“In response to the ever-increasing personal sanctions imposed by the Joe Biden administration not only against Russian officials, representatives of the business community and the public, cultural figures, but also those who, for one reason or another, are objectionable to Washington, on the basis of reciprocity, a ban on entry into Russia in relation to 200 US citizens, ” the message says.

The Foreign Ministry clarified that certain representatives of government bodies and legislators, their close relatives, heads of companies and enterprises of the military-industrial complex, as well as "experts and lobbyists involved in the promotion of the Russophobic campaign and support of the regime in Kyiv" are permanently included in the Russian "stop list".

Prigozhin about the closure of YouTube.
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary, unless otherwise noted, is from Yevgeniy Prigozhin, proprietor of Wagner Military Company

I should note that some Russian mercenary accounts do exist on Youtube still. I subscribe to two, albeit one of them was taken down for a short while.

[ColonelCassad] “YouTube was not closed for the same reason that the children of a large part of the elite did not go to war. YouTube is needed by those who are trying to balance between the liberal and around-liberal parts of the population. They believe that YouTube is one of the ways to put the patriotic part of the population in their place so that they do not raise their heads. As I said, when you say "I'm Russian" on YouTube, they tell you "and that's bad."

In the corridors of power, unfortunately, there are still a huge number of people who were fed by Khodorkovsky. Therefore, the issue of closing YouTube lies in the same plane as the issue of Russian sovereignty. As long as we lick the bowl of American slop thrown at us, we will not be a self-sufficient nation. We must have our own Russian YouTube and these Russian YouTubes, rutubes and other services are full.
Mikail Khodorkovsky is an exiled Russian oligarch, living in London.
Here is Rutube. I would argue however, that V Kontakte is a better video platform.

You just have to take the liberty of shutting down YouTube, shutting down VPNs, shutting down any ordinary person who is alive, Instagram, just because there is still not a single hyped Russian analogue. And they are used exclusively by those who continue to warm their asses on Dubai beaches.

And those who in Tyumen, Tomsk and Surgut go to work along a frosty street, they have no time to sit in glamorous services that are so protected by a part of the same elite public that they decide whether to close YouTube or not.

I think that things are steadily moving towards the moment of truth. When you need to make a decision for whom you are: for Americanized glamour, or for your Russian people. Therefore, YouTube will not go anywhere, it will be closed and a big nail from our Russian steel will be driven into the coffin of Americanism and liberalism.” (c) Prigogine

Following commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
PS. As a remark. Recently, a wave of arrests of citizens who used Google services swept through Ukraine, who were identified by the SBU as disloyal and pro-Russian. Information about these citizens was provided by Google technical support.

War in Ukraine. Summary 11/11/2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] 1. Kherson.

The RF Armed Forces left the right bank early this morning and completely retreated to the left bank to pre-prepared positions. The last units withdrew from Kherson along the barge bridge, which was blown up.

The Antonovsky bridge and the bridge in the area of ​​the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station were blown up. The enemy occupied Berislav and Kherson during the day. The front now passes along the Dnieper.

We can expect enemy activity in the direction of the Kinburn Spit and reprisals against the civilian population in the occupied territories.

2. Donetsk direction.

Our troops today took Experienced and advanced a little in Pervomaisky.
The battles for Vodiane continue. In general, the offensive plan is quite transparent: take Pervomaiskoye and Vodyanoye and turn to Thin, the capture of which will allow establishing fire control over the Orlovka-Avdiivka road, which will create a direct threat to the operational encirclement of the Avdiivka grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The enemy will certainly transfer reserves here to stabilize the front.
Maiorsk was liberated near Gorlovaya.

3. Artemovsk direction.

Fights on the outskirts of the city and for fortified areas on the outskirts of Opytnoye. Fights for fortified areas in the Kurdyumovka area also continue. The pace of progress is low.

4. Soledar.

In the city itself without significant changes.

Ours are fixed in Bakhmutskoye and continue fighting for Belogorovka, which is controlled by about half.

In the area of ​​​​Disputable and other Belogorovka - no change.

5. Svatovo.

Enemy attacks in the direction of the Svatovo-Kremennaya highway did not bring him much success. The front here is still standing still, although the enemy continues to try to maintain the initiative with constant attacks, regardless of losses.

The fighting in the area of ​​Torskoy and Terna did not bring any special changes.

https://t.me/boris_rozhin/69998 - zinc

I remind you once again that the round-the-clock broadcast of hostilities in Ukraine has been going on in the Telegram channel since February 23 https://t.me/boris_rozhin

The main publications on the topic of military operations go there, and not in LiveJournal - whining about the fact that some aspects of the NWO are not written in LiveJournal is meaningless. Those who are interested in following the course of hostilities - subscribe to the channel and read as much as they consider necessary - more than 100 materials are published per day on various aspects of hostilities + a large number of photos and videos. You can even sit and read all day.

Who is not interested, do not subscribe, do not read and whine in the LiveJournal comments that the damned world does not want to satisfy their Wishlist. No changes in approaches to publications on the subject of SVO are expected. I hope I explained everything clearly.
So that's that. And ya'll'd better listen.

I subscribed to Rozhin's channel a few weeks ago, but unsubscribed. He is like Aleksandr Kots — as in he posts all the time, so his space fills up fast. I chose instead to go with the writer, and not Rozhin.

#1  The war looks like it may have reached a stalemate point; for either side to advance significantly from current positions will incur immense losses in a WW I style confrontation. But will both sides recognize that and find a way to stop?

Europe
Iran-born brothers indicted by Sweden over spying for Russia
[IsraelTimes] One of the suspects, who were identified as Peyman Kia and Payam Kia, worked for the Swedish domestic intelligence agency.

Two Iranian-born brothers were charged in Sweden with aggravated espionage for allegedly spying for Russia and its military intelligence service GRU for around a decade, prosecutors said Friday. One of the men worked for Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency.

Authorities identified them as Peyman Kia, 42, and Payam Kia, 35. One of the brothers was also indicted for the alleged gross unauthorized handling of secret information. It wasn’t immediately clear which of them it was.

"It has been a complex investigation concerning a crime that is very difficult to investigate and the suspicion concerns very serious criminality directed against Sweden’s intelligence and security system," National Security Unit chief prosecutor Per Lindqvist said.

"The information that has been obtained, transmitted and divulged could, by the fact that if it comes into the hands of a foreign power, result in detriment to Sweden’s security," Lindqvist said in a statement.

He later told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the case involved "extremely sensitive topics," but declined to elaborate.

According to the charge sheet obtained by the AP , the men have "jointly" passed information to the Russian military intelligence service GRU during the period September 28, 2011-September 20, 2021.

It added that the data were acquired through one of the men’s work within Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency and the country’s armed forces. The data originates from several authorities within the Swedish security and the intelligence service.

His brother helped with the contacts with "Russia and the GRU including matters of surrender of information and receipt of compensation." According to the charges, Payam Kia "dismantled and broke a hard drive which was later found in a trash can" when his brother was arrested.

The case has been investigated by Sweden’ domestic security service, SAPO. Sweden’s prosecution authority said much of the information in the preliminary investigation is secret and could not offer details.

SAPO said it became suspicious of the former employee and a preliminary investigation was launched in 2017. Lindqvist said the inquiry was started "because there was a suspicion that there was a mole, an insider" within Sweden’s intelligence community.

The domestic spy agency confirmed that Peyman Kia had worked there between 2014 and 2015, and that before that had worked in the Swedish armed forces. "It is during these employments that the suspected acquisition must have taken place."

Swedish media said that he worked for the armed forces’ foreign defense intelligence agency MUST and reportedly worked with a top secret unit under MUST which was dealing with Swedish spies abroad. He later worked for Swedish Customs.

"The suspected crime is a risk that every security service is well aware of, although we do everything to counter it," said Anders Kassman at SAPO.

Peder Ohlsson, head of the armed forces’ press department, called the crimes "very serious."

Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson said he had been informed of the case, but declined to comment.

The brothers became Swedish citizens in 1994, and the Expressen daily quoted one of the men as saying that he speaks Persian fluently. The younger brother, reportedly has worked for SAPO, Swedish media reported.

They were arrested in September and November 2021. Both have denied any wrongdoing, Swedish media reported. The brothers face up to life imprisonment if convicted. A life sentence in Sweden generally means a minimum of 20-25 years in prison.
