Ukraine - Russia's perfidious attack, a chronicle of events

[Alex_Sor]

Until November 15, Russia can carry out a massive, bloody, missile attack on Ukraine, like on October 10. The goal is to persuade Ukraine to negotiate.

This forecast was made by military expert Oleg Zhdanov.

"It is quite likely that some stock of missiles is being removed from storage sites, serviced, put in order and prepared for the next stage of missile strikes," Oleg Zhdanov said.

Zhdanov recalled that the G-20 summit was to be held in Bali on November 15:

“Russia will have to say something. By November 15, Putin needs to say something. What can he say? That they unleashed the war, the bloodiest in Europe after the Second World War, the largest on the European continent, and they continue it? For what purpose? Taking over Ukraine and genocide the Ukrainian people? Putin wants a result. The result he can sell to the G-20 is negotiations with Ukraine. To force Ukraine to the negotiating table."

Therefore, as the expert noted, the Russian Federation can hit the cities in Ukraine in order to try to persuade it to these negotiations.

"Until November 15, we can expect a couple more such attacks from the Russian Federation, tough, bloody and forceful ... I do not exclude variations on the theme that they are gathering forces and can deliver a massive missile strike or repeat, say, on October 10 ... As we see "They are going out of their way to somehow force us into negotiations. At the same time, Russia does not even want to hear about withdrawing its troops from the territory of Ukraine," Zhdanov said.

Massive Russian missile attack on October 10: what is known:

As previously reported, on the morning of October 10, Russia launched a massive missile attack on Ukrainian cities.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian Federation launched strikes from the waters of the Caspian Sea, as well as from Nizhny Novgorod.

It was noted that as a result of the shelling of Ukraine by Russian invaders on October 10, 20 people were killed, more than 100 were injured.

She flew at low altitudes: a rocket was shot down in Ukraine for the first time thanks to the "JPPO" application

In Ukraine, for the first time, a rocket was shot down using a message in the "JPPO" app. "Caliber" flew at low altitudes, so it could not be detected. They learned about the launched rocket of the Armed Forces of Ukraine thanks to observant citizens.

Information about this was shared by one of the creators of the application, Gennady Suldin.

"10/22/22 in the morning in the south of Ukraine, the first combat use of the "JPPO" application on a Russian cruise missile took place. The Caliber flew at a very low altitude, due to the terrain features, it was not locally observed. But several vigilant citizens saw a damn thing and notified the military from Our anti-aircraft gunners received target designations in a few seconds, had enough time and without any problems, like on a simulator, shot down a Caliber with an Igla MANPADS,” wrote Suldin.

The developer of the application also clarified that it is very important for the military to receive data from the countryside. Rockets often fly in lowlands over sparsely populated areas. Therefore, residents in these territories should use "JPPO" and tell friends, acquaintances and relatives about it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ua.quick.brpg.pathfinder&hl=ru&gl=US

How JPPO works
If a person spots an aerial target, a cruise missile, or a kamikaze drone, they can launch the app and indicate the type of aerial target. Then you need to point the smartphone in the direction of the movement of the object and press the big red button. After a few seconds, air defense specialists will see your mark on the map. It will supplement the radar information and the threat will be destroyed.

Why is it important
The fact is that missiles and drones of the Russian army often hide at low altitudes, when radars cannot detect them. Therefore, specialists cannot respond in a timely manner and eliminate the target. However, people see the threat even when the radars are "blind". Thanks to the help of Ukrainians, the air defense forces will be able to receive important data on time and shoot down targets that threaten the health and lives of civilians.

Steinmeier about Ukraine: Everything is much worse than they represent in Germany

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said after a visit to Ukraine that he was shocked by the stories about the war unleashed by Russia. In his opinion, people in Germany have a false idea of the true situation.

He stated this in an interview with the German edition of Tagesschau.

During a visit to Ukraine, Steinmeier spent about two hours in a bomb shelter in the Chernihiv region because of the missile threat. According to him, he heard shocking stories there.

    "Everything is much scarier than we imagine in Germany. I was shocked by the stories that were told to us," he said.

The German President remarked that "the world must be just". It is about preserving the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. However, this is not discussed now.

“Now we are not at that stage,” he added.

violation by Russian occupiers: most of the cases were found in the Kyiv region

Now most of the facts of sexual crimes committed by the Russian invaders against the civilian population have been established in the Kyiv region.

This was announced during a briefing by Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Kateryna Pavlichenko.

"Today, units of the National Police and law enforcement agencies have already recorded about 40,000 war crimes committed by Russian occupiers. Among these crimes there are also crimes against sexual freedom and sexual inviolability of the person," said Ekaterina Pavlichenko.

The representative of the ministry noted that as of today, 43 criminal proceedings have already begun on the facts of sexual crimes.

"In one of these proceedings, there may be several facts. That is, there may be several episodes, several victims or even several crimes," Pavlichenko said.

The Deputy Minister added that it is very difficult to reveal the facts of sexual crimes, because they are latent.

“Victims are not always ready to talk about it, to tell what they have experienced,” said Ekaterina Pavlichenko.

Pavlichenko noted that in order to identify and investigate sexual crimes against the civilian population in the de-occupied territories, the work of specialized police groups was introduced. They include specialists who have previously worked with the topic of domestic violence, juvenile police officers, investigators, prosecutors and psychologists.

"Such groups are already working in the de-occupied territories of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson regions," Kateryna Pavlichenko said.

She added that these groups are working on the territory after its de-occupation for two to three months.

"Among those criminal proceedings that have already been recorded by law enforcement agencies, in particular the police, there are gang rapes and rapes of minors. All these facts are included in the ERDR and are being investigated in order to establish more complete information about these circumstances," Pavlichenko said.

The Deputy Minister noted that in the Kyiv region the facts of sexual crimes were established the most.

Ukraine is a tax hell.

Popular tax heavens in the world are countries/territories that are tax havens. These are places where taxes are very favorable for legal entities and / or individuals of a special category. Low, easy to calculate, pay - and without fear of tax Cerberus.
The American 1841 Foundation published the Tax Hells Index 2022 report. Tax Hells are countries with hellish tax systems. This is the first publication of its kind. The index is based on 2020 quantitative and qualitative data from the IMF and the World Bank. Experts evaluated 94 countries.
Quantitative indicators make up 60% of the value of the Index. The following factors are evaluated here:
 1) fiscal pressure as a total tax burden to GDP;
 2) debt burden as total government debt to GDP,
 3) inflationary tax, measured as an inflation index;
 4) potential fiscal pressure as the difference between government spending and revenue (in % of GDP).

Among the qualitative parameters, the following parameters of governance quality (governance indicators) are accepted:
 1) voice and accountability,
 2) the rule of law,
 3) regulatory quality,
 4) political stability,
 5) efficiency of the state,
 6) control over corruption.

Tax hell is not only high taxes and a heavy fiscal burden. These are weak institutions for the implementation of the rule of law, the fragile protection of privacy and property.

The war dramatically exacerbated the economic problems of both households and commercial organizations. The firm course of the Ukrainian authorities in the second half of 2022 to restore the pre-war tax system and administration practices is the return of the country to tax hell. This is, in fact, the second front against the country, which has been activated by those who accept, administer, control and protect the current tax system. The second front against Ukraine was opened by those who insist on the restoration of pre-war regimes of control over commercial activities, who, instead of concentrating resources and money on protecting the country from the enemy, continue to nightmare producers of goods/services with thousands of normative assets of sadism.
 The Ukrainian tax and legal system has long been not only economic phenomena and factors. This is a direct and clear threat to national security. Before us is yet another convincing confirmation of this thesis.

The head of the Kyiv Regional State Administration Oleksiy Kuleba spoke about the consequences of the shelling of the region since the beginning of October 2022.

In an interview with Report's East European bureau, he recalled that on October 10-11 and 17-18, the Russian Federation launched missile strikes from the air and from Russian territory on important infrastructure facilities and settlements in the region.

According to him, there were no casualties - 1 person died, 10 were injured.

    "They are all civilians who have nothing to do with military operations. As for the destruction of residential infrastructure, 60 houses were damaged, mostly in the private sector, 8 of which were completely destroyed," says Kuleba.

He noted that everyone is promptly trying to restore, repair work continues at facilities that require more time.

The head of the Kyiv OVA emphasized that these strikes led to power outages throughout Ukraine.

The consequences of attacks on the infrastructure of Kyiv and the region

On the night of October 27, the head of the Kyiv regional military administration, Oleksiy Kuleba, informed that at night the Russian occupiers struck at one of the bulks of the Kyiv region.

DTEK warned that due to the destruction of the energy infrastructure, the time without electricity according to the new schedules in Kyiv and the region could be more than 4-6 hours.

It was reported that since October 10, 2022, 30% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged due to enemy shelling.

[Alex_Sor]

In the south, during the night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted 112 fire strikes on the enemy.

This was announced by the speaker of the operational command "South" Vladislav Nazarov, commenting on the situation as of 11:00.

"During the night, our rocket and artillery units completed 112 fire missions at the places of concentration of enemy forces and means, to control logistics routes and ammunition storage areas," he said.

According to Nazarov, the situation in the Yuzhnobugsky direction has not undergone significant changes, the enemy is on the defensive and is trying to hold the occupied lines.

The occupiers inflict fire strikes on Ukrainian positions using cannon artillery, mortars, tanks, and the like along the line of combat and adjacent territorial communities.

At the same time, according to Nazarov, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, an intensification of the work of medical institutions was recorded with the deployment of additional beds due to the large influx of wounded invaders.

On the right-bank part of the Kherson region, the invaders are reinforcing their units with mobilized military personnel numbering up to 1 thousand people.

"According to the established practice, the invaders' army settles personnel in the housing of local residents who have evacuated from those territories," Nazarov said.

In the Black Sea, the enemy grouping consists of 9 ships, of which two are surface and two underwater, which keep 24 Caliber missiles at the ready.

Russia admitted that they use strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities for the sake of blackmail

According to Dmitry Medvedev, the stability of our country's energy conservation depends on the recognition of the legitimacy of Russia's demands in the framework of the so-called special operation.

Russia said that Ukraine must recognize the legitimacy of the demands of the aggressor state in the framework of the so-called special operation. This allegedly guarantees the stability of energy conservation for our country.

This statement was noted by the former president and current deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev in his personal Telegram channel.

"The purchase by the" Kyiv regime "of electricity in Slovakia will lead to a further increase in energy prices for both Europeans and Ukrainians, but will not give the desired stability in the operation of the Ukrainian energy system. The path to stability in energy supply is different. We must recognize the legitimacy of Russia's demands within the framework of the "and its results reflected in our Constitution," Medvedev wrote.

The message of the former president of the Russian Federation confirms that the rashists deliberately staged terror with attacks on the energy facilities of Ukraine. Medvedev almost directly stated: Russia will stop shelling power plants if our country makes concessions. And this is blackmail.
Electricity problems due to occupier attacks: basic information

Massive shelling of Ukraine's energy infrastructure facilities began on October 11 and continues to this day.

President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that, as of October 18, 30% of power plants had been destroyed. According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, if the figure rises to 50%, then the Ukrainian energy sector will "fall down".

Now in many regions of the country are rolling and emergency blackouts. For example, DTEK reported that in Kyiv people can remain without power for 4-6 hours.

As Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated, in the event of continued terror by the Russian occupiers, Ukrainians can sit for weeks without water, light and heat. Or serious restrictions will be introduced.

The settlements of Biloghirka, Nova Kamianka, Novohredneve in the Kherson region, Stepove in the Zaporizhia region, and Maryinka and Pavlivka in the Donetsk region were affected by this.
In the Volyn and Poliske directions, the situation remains without significant changes.

Russia announces withdrawal from grain agreement

The Russian authorities attribute their decision to the nighttime explosions in Sevastopol, as a result of which several Russian Kalibr carrier ships were damaged.

Russia pulls out of grain deal after "attacks" on ships of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.

This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

They linked their decision to the explosions in occupied Sevastopol, as a result of which several Russian Caliber carrier ships were damaged.

"Taking into account the terrorist act carried out by the Kyiv regime with the participation of British specialists against ships of the Black Sea Fleet and civilian vessels involved in ensuring the security of the "grain corridor", the Russian side suspends participation in the implementation of agreements on the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports," the Russian ministry said. .

The attack on the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Sevastopol was most likely carried out by surface and underwater drones.

When such an attack is calculated, the main target is the flagship, therefore, most likely, we will no longer hear about the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov, the carrier of Caliber cruise missiles, which "covered" Ukraine right up to Lvov, said the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in reserve, military pilot-instructor, Roman Svitan.

“Based on those videos and actions of the Russians, most likely, an attack was carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our Navy in the water area and in the Sevastopol Bay. drones…”, said Roman Svitan.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba reacted to Russia's statement about withdrawing from the grain agreement and called on other countries to demand that Russia "stop the hunger games."

"We warned about the plans of the Russian Federation to disrupt the Black Sea Grain Initiative. Now, under a far-fetched pretext, Moscow is blocking the grain corridor, which ensures the food security of millions of people. I call on all states to demand that the Russian Federation stop the hunger games and return to its obligations," Kuleba said.

At the same time, the press secretary of Volodymyr Zelensky, Sergei Nikiforov, said that Ukraine was waiting for the reaction of Turkey and the UN regarding this statement by the Russian Federation.

"Ukraine has not signed any "grain agreements" with the Russian Federation. The signatories are Russia, Turkey and the UN. And Ukraine has not signed any agreements with Russia, because it understands that it almost never adheres to its obligations. Therefore, we expect the reaction of the signatories," - said Nikiforov.

State support for Ukrainian industry does not match the scale of losses

Under the conditions of the war, the Ukrainian government is constantly expanding credit and grant programs, but their volumes are minimal and do not correspond to the size of industrial losses from hostilities. In addition, now the government is mainly focusing on supporting the agro-industrial complex and agricultural exports, rather than industry, at a time when it is in serious need of support.

This is stated in the study of the MMC Center.

"According to the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE), direct losses of assets of enterprises and industry in monetary terms as of September 1, 2022 amounted to $9.9 billion, or 7.8% of the total $127 billion. In addition, now the government is mainly focuses on supporting the agro-industrial complex and agricultural exports, not industry," the newspaper writes.

Under the current conditions, Ukraine needs to support any operating business, experts interviewed by the MMC Center note. This is especially true for medium and large industrial enterprises - the main employers in the regions affected by the war. Even according to official estimates, the unemployment rate in Ukraine by the end of 2022 will be 30%, and the monthly shortfall in the state budget will be about $5 billion. This requires quick and effective business solutions that will help increase budget revenues and reduce unemployment.

According to Andrey Dligach, founder and CEO of Advanter Group, interviewed by the publication, banks lend little to business. In addition, the allocated funds are ten times less than the needs. And the experience of successfully obtaining financing within the "5-7-9%" is common in the agricultural sector, but not in other industries.

People's Deputy Dmitry Kisilevsky also believes that it is very important to reformat the program of affordable loans and change its priorities. It is also necessary to have a separate program for industrial producers with large lending limits, because at present, agricultural and trading companies, including importers, dominate in the structure of available loans.

Among the priorities of the state now should be the introduction of programs that will stimulate exports, the introduction of insurance guarantees for investors, the development of a regulatory framework for the operation of industrial parks, as well as paying attention to public procurement.

"When 30% of uniforms for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are bought in Ukraine, and 70% - abroad, this is not normal. Where Ukrainian enterprises can meet the needs of the state, they should work in full," the publication emphasizes.

Earlier, Oleksandr Kalenkov, president of Ukrmetallurgprom, said that Ukraine's mining and metallurgical complex suffered more than other industries from the war: the metallurgists were hit hard by the destruction of two metallurgical plants in Mariupol, complex and expensive logistics, deteriorating pricing conditions on world markets and rising energy prices.
