Military reports
On Saturday, several regions of the Dnipropetrovsk region were subjected to Russian shelling and the attack of Iranian drones; The Russians were again fired at the Zaporizhzhya region from the S-300. On Sunday night, everything repeated . Fierce battles continue in the Donbass, from whom the locals who did not want to leave - this is the story of a resident of Bakhmut, who lost her legs, going to the market for food during the lull. The fact that she survived is a great success: according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, in eight months of the war, Russia damaged 1,100 medical institutions, 144 of them were completely destroyed.
The Kiev authorities do not exclude the complete blackout in the city and urge residents to think in advance where you can evacuate during darkness and cold weather. The EU states sent 500 energy generators to Ukraine to support the country against the backdrop of regular power outages. CNN reports that due to problems with financing in Ukraine, 1300 Starlink satellite terminals were disconnected .
In Uglegorsk in the annexed Donetsk region, an attempt was made on the judge of the Supreme Court of the so -called “DPR” Alexander Nikulin, he is in a hospital in serious condition. The deputy head of the occupation administration of Mariupol was appointed former mayor of Irkutsk and the first deputy prime minister of the government of Yakutia Dmitry Berdnikov. The Ukrainian authorities of the city associate this purpose with the corruption of the previously appointed head of the city of Konstantin Ivashchenko. Here are photos of Mariupol turned into ruins.
On Sunday, Russian state news agencies wrote about the shelling of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, and representatives of the occupation administration of the Kherson region reported a certain “terrorist attack”, as a result of which power supply was lost in the city (Ukrainian telegram channels claim that Russians are undermining the power lines in Berislav and “Electric Pillars”). The Russian “military commissar” and the bloggers in Kherson report an abundance and complain about looting. There is no connection in the city, neither Russian nor Ukrainian television works, pharmacies are also allegedly closed. Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets announced the export of children from the Kherson orphanage to the Crimean psychiatric hospital. How lives on the annexed peninsula after the detachment of the Crimean bridge in early October, it is told here (Spoyler: the peninsula became the island).
Russian war
The governor of the Belgorod region announced the shelling of a certain industrial facility; Prigozhin announced the creation of “militias” training centers in the Kursk and Belgorod regions and called on local business for cooperation.
In Kazan, dozens of mobilized staged a protest due to a lack of water, food and firewood at the training training ground and rusty machine guns that they were given as a weapon. Oleg Bulaev, an illegally mobilized Muscovite, told his wife about rusty weapons, whom his wife and son plan to rescue from the training ground in the Belgorod region before he leaves for the front.
The publication “Village” became known about major losses that were carried by mobilized from the Voronezh region near Makeevka in the Luhansk region: the survivors say that the command was simply evaporated and estimated the number of killed at 500 people. Relatives of the mobilized turned to the Voronezh governor with a request for help, on Sunday he accepted them and promised to promote the “allocation to the rear” of those who survived. British military intelligence notes in its daily summary that such the use of mobilized does not give the Russian army additional offensive opportunities. But the regular army is used in approximately the same: marines from Primorye complained to Governor Kozhemyako to command - in their letter we are talking about hundreds of the dead and wounded battles near the village of Pavlovka near the Donetsk region. The military calls the attempt to capture this village meaningless.
As The Insider found out for wives and mothers of mobilized, in the basement in the village of Environment of Bazhanny, Donetsk region, the command holds more than 20 people who refused to participate in hostilities. For the refusal to go to the front line, they are threatened with execution. Earlier it was known about the basements and prisons for refuseniks in the Luhansk region. In Russia, cases of the loss of labor migrants from Tajikistan have become more frequent - they are found in the army or at construction sites in occupied Mariupol.
And about the spiritual. During the “performance of pastoral duties” in the war in Ukraine, the rector of the Church of the Great Martyr Barbara and the Monk Muromets in the village of Vlasikh was killed - this temple has the status of a “Patriarchal Compound at the headquarters of the Russian missile forces of strategic purpose”. The head of the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill, meanwhile, consecrated the main temple of the Russian Guard in Balashikha, Moscow Region - there is a division named after Dzerzhinsky, one of the divisions of the Russian Guard.
International Echo of War
- On Saturday, Iran unexpectedly admitted that he supplied Russia with “Shahd” drones - however, very little and only before the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine. The President of Ukraine accused the Iranian authorities of lies: there are a lot of these drones, they began to say after Putin’s visit to Tehran, and the world community has information that Iran and Russia plan to increase cooperation in the military sphere. Journalists studied the insides of the Iranian drones shot down by the Ukrainian military and found components of Western production in them - this does not necessarily indicate a violation of sanctions by American and European companies, but exactly suggests that Iran created a wide global procurement network using fake companies and intermediaries in third countries to obtain dual -use technologies.
- According to the American authorities, Russia plans to purchase shells in the DPRK. The 38 North project, which is following the events in North Korea, found that shortly after the statement of the White House from Pyongyan, a suspicious train left for Russia.
- Against the backdrop of such obvious trade successes, Iran and DPRK also demonstrate missile successes: the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported a successful test of the KAM-100 launch vehicle (“rebel”), which allegedly made suborbital flight, and the DPRK launched four missiles towards the yellow sea (this was the third launch since the beginning of November).
- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with the Turkish NTV television channel called the low probability of Russia's use of nuclear weapons, but emphasized that the alliance is very serious about this issue. German Chancellor Olaf Sholts, speaking at the Congress of the Social Democratic Party, demanded that Russia exclude the use of nuclear weapons in the war against Ukraine (as if the statements of the Russian authorities had some real significance).
- Infosys Indian service IT company, founded by the Testem of the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Narayana Murty, continues operations in Russia more than six months after the statements of leaving the country. All this time, British taxpayers pay military assistance to Ukraine, and Sunak says that he has nothing to do with his father -in -law business.
- The Russian edition of RBC writes with reference to the FSB data that from July to September the Russians left the country almost 10 million times - this is twice as much as in the previous three months. Rosstat for the first time in the history of modern Russia recorded a negative pure migration: more people left the country than came. Here are the stories of those who left for Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia and Turkey - and are not going to return.

- In Kostroma, in a fire in the Polygon night club, owned by a local deputy from United Russia, 13 people were killed .
