Ukraine launched one of its largest drone attacks targeting the Crimean Peninsula since Russia invaded the country last year. The Russian Defense Ministry reported downing 16 Ukrainian drones near or above Crimea. The attack on the critical peninsula comes as Russian forces are close to taking a key city in the Donbas.

According to the Associated Press, Kyiv “launched one of the biggest drone attacks on the Crimean Peninsula” on Thursday. According to a Defense Ministry statement published by TASS, Russian state media, “an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using aerial drones against sites on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted.” It continued, “Air defense systems destroyed 16 drones, including 13 over the Crimean peninsula and three over the territory of the Volgograd region.”

The Russian statement did not comment on damage or casualties caused by the intercepted drones. The AP notes that it could not independently confirm the Russian claims, and Ukraine has not issued a statement.

After Washington backed a coup in Kyiv in 2014 that ushered in an ultra-nationalist Ukrainian government, the heavily Russian population of Crimea was annexed by Moscow, a decision supported by the people of the peninsula. Ukrainian President Zelensky has pledged that he will continue to fight the Russian occupation of his country until Crimea is reclaimed.

However, Moscow views the peninsula as historically part of Russia and crucial to its strategic position. Additionally, Kyiv ordered thousands of its soldiers to attempt to retake Crimea this summer, only to gain almost no territory toward that objective.

Moscow has focused its forces on taking Avdiivka, a city in the northeastern Donetsk region. The city is viewed as strategic to the front lines in Ukraine’s Donbas. Avdiivka had a pre-war population of 32,000, which has shrunk to just over 1,000. According to SouthFront, Russian forces are making gains north of the city and slowly encircling Avdiivka.

Finally, Ukrainian resources are beginning to be issued. The figure is solid, which is to say. It should be noted that according to the established tradition, a missing person in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is 99% dead.

The channel "1 + 1" in Ukraine showed the figure of missing and destroyed AFU men 1,126,652 people. After a few minutes, the running line was cleaned, and later the channel began to apologize for this figure.

Russia's Crimea Defense Line Washed Away in Brutal Storm: Ukrainian Report​

Thomas Kika

~4 minutes

---

Videos and photos have emerged online showing the impact of a major storm that passed over the Crimean peninsula on Sunday, with Ukrainian officials reporting that Russian coastal defense lines had been destroyed in the process.

Situated in southern Ukraine in the Black Sea, Russia took control of Crimea in 2014 via military occupation and a highly contested referendum vote, a move that has gone widely condemned on the world stage. Amid the ongoing war in Ukraine that began in February 2022, Russia has maintained that Ukraine's recognition of Crimea as Russian territory is a primary condition for ending the conflict. Ukraine, conversely, has refused this demand, and included the peninsula in the list of occupied regions that it aims to liberate from Russian control.

On Sunday, Crimea was hit by a major storm, dubbed "Bettina" by Greek meteorologists, which was forecasted to result in waves as high as 26 to 33 feet, according to news outlet Nexta, and threaten many areas with flooding.

"Crimea was hit by a severe storm," Nexta wrote in a post to X, the platform previously known as Twitter, on Sunday afternoon, alongside videos showing the intensity of the waves and flooding generated around the region.
"Hurricane winds of up to 40 meters [131 feet] per second are ripping out trees and tearing off roofs. Many districts of Yevpatoria are flooded, and public transport has been halted in Sevastopol. The storm has reached Russia: the strongest winds are raging in Anapa and Krasnodar," it added.

Your daily briefing of everything you need to know
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian minister of internal affairs, shared various updates about the storm from local media sources, claiming that Russian defenses dug into the peninsula's beaches had been washed away.
"A storm washed away trenches in occupied Crimea that [the] Russian army dug out on the beaches," Gerashchenko wrote on X. "According to information from Crimean media, in Yevpatoria the water washed away the defense line on the coast, engineering buildings, and firing positions."

Newsweek reached out to Russian officials and defense experts via email for comment.
In another post, author and defense analyst H I Sutton shared a still image from one of the clips posted by Gerashchenko in which a Russian coastal defense line is seen being battered by waves, alongside an image of one of the lines being constructed for comparison.
"How it started. How it's going," Sutton wrote. "[Russian] beach defenses in Crimea being hit hard by the storm, possibly much washed away. (Photos not exact same location, but good indication what to expect.)"

Zelensky’s Wife Faces Backlash After Kiev Airstrike Complaints

Olena Zelenskaya has previously provoked numerous criticisms on social media. This time, X (former Twitter) users reminded her that the people of Donbass have lived under non-stop shelling since 2014 and hinted that her husband is directly responsible for what is happening today.

On November 26, the Russian military continued the mop up operation to secure the recently captured positions. The Armed Forces of Ukraine (aFU) attempted some local counter attack but they were repelled. Russian mop up operations continue in the Vinogradniki district in the same southern part of the city, which is now in the semi-encirclement.

Ukrainian units were forced to retreat from the southern part of the village and retreat on the city outskirts. Ukrainian servicemen showed their new positions, revealing that they are using about 13 killed and wounded daily:

Russia's Crimea Defense Line Washed Away in Brutal Storm: Ukrainian Report​

It won't help the Ukrops.

Another sign? Quite a lot of similar signs have already been noted, but they still won't understand that they are climbing the wrong way.

IN KIEV, THE LARGEST FLAG OF UKRAINE WAS TORN APART NEAR THE MONUMENT "MOTHERLAND"
, the largest flag of Ukraine could not stand the test of the weather.

Kiev residents have published video footage of the torn flag of Ukraine, which is located at the desecrated monument "Motherland" and is considered the largest in the country. It's all the fault of a powerful hurricane wind and a Mediterranean cyclone, which has reached not only the Black Sea coast.

Social media users have already seen this as a bad sign. The height of the flagpole on which the flag was flying is almost 90 meters, the size of the panel is 16 by 24 meters. The Kiev administration reported that the flag will be removed to replace it with a new one.

This could not be more symbolic. The storm tore the largest Ukrainian flag in the country (it's huge - 16x24m) perfectly in two. It's now a yellow flag and a blue flag.

Interesting information about Abrams. Without having had time to participate in the battles, about 20% of the delivered vehicles have already been lost. Given the impatience with which the Russian military is waiting for them on the line of contact, the fate of the rest is unenviable.

Abrams have reached the front
Ukraine received all the 31 M1 Abrams tanks promised by the American side at the end of September. All this time, these vehicles were in deep reserve, since the United States did not really want them to participate in the battles, so as not to get the same negative effect as on Leopard.

However, the other day, the first confirmations of the presence of American tanks in the frontline zone began to appear in Ukrainian social networks. At the same time, it is impossible to establish when exactly the pictures were taken — yesterday, a week or two ago. There is also no real evidence of the participation of these tanks in the battles.

Ukrainian publicists claim that Abrams was transferred to the Kupyansk direction, since there are no longer enough forces to restrain the advance of the Russian Armed Forces in this direction, the last reserves are going into battle.

"We will not be surprised if Zelensky throws Abrams into the attack in response to US pressure," the Ukrainian TV channel ZeRada admitted.

According to Ukrainian insider Telegram channels, during a recent visit to Kiev, the head of the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, discussed with the head of the Kiev regime Zelensky the evacuation of 7 M1A1 Abrams tanks, of which 4 vehicles were destroyed during missile strikes by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during transportation through Ukraine and 3 - during improper and inept transportation in the Nikolaev area. In return, the United States promised to transfer about 28 Leopard-2 tanks purchased in third countries. It is noted that Austin solved this issue at the request of General Dynamics, who do not need such "advertising" of their armored vehicles.

Recall, Business Insider stressed that Leopard, Challenger and Abrams tanks were useless for the APU and could not change the situation at the front.

"These tanks have not yet become a "magic weapon", and now Ukraine must decide how best to use its limited arsenal in the conditions of the onset of winter, slow offensive operations and the increasing offensive of the Russians," the publication says.

Earlier, Zelensky complained that American Abrams could not play a big role on the battlefield, since there are "too few" of them in Ukraine.

Abrams доехали до фронта

Apparently, this publication of the British newspaper can be regarded as a permission and, in a sense, pressure on the too "independent" Mask.

Space strike. The media were afraid of Russia's move against Ukraine
Telegraph: Russia may destroy Starlink satellites helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ukraine

MOSCOW, Nov 27 — RIA Novosti. Russia can destroy Starlink satellites that help the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike, writes the Telegraph with reference to experts.
"The Starlink satellites owned by Elon Musk are helping Ukrainian troops to launch drone strikes against Russian tanks, although the billionaire warned that they should be used to watch Netflix, not to launch drone strikes," the article says.

According to experts, commercial satellites in space do not fall under the Geneva Convention and can be a legitimate target if they help one of the parties to the conflict, in this case Ukraine, since the armed forces of this country use the Internet connection provided by Starlink to communicate and coordinate attacks against the Russian military.
«
"From the point of view of the rules of warfare, the Russians most likely will not do anything wrong, since such services can be used for military purposes. This does not mean that commercial satellites will constantly become a target or an object of attack. But this means that they can potentially be such," the expert interviewed by journalists summed up.

Starlink is a SpaceX satellite network that provides broadband Internet access anywhere in the world. More than 20 thousand terminals were transferred to Ukraine. In October last year, the head of the company, Elon Musk, said that his expenses related to the work of Starlink in Ukraine tend to $ 100 million and the Pentagon should take over them.
In early September, CNN cited an excerpt from the biography of Musk, written by Walter Isaacson. It says, in particular, that last year the businessman secretly ordered his engineers to turn off Starlink in the Black Sea area in order to "prevent a covert Ukrainian attack on the Russian Navy." The entrepreneur himself clarified that he had received an emergency request from the government to activate the service, but refused to do so, because otherwise his company would have been involved "in a major act of war."
Earlier, Konstantin Vorontsov, Deputy Director of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the risks of turning space into a springboard for warfare "have taken shape" — the United States and its allies are taking steps to deploy weapons in space and use outer space for warfare not only for defensive purposes.

Космический удар. СМИ испугались хода России против Украины

Интересная информация по Абрамсам. Не успев поучаствовать в боях уже потеряно около 20% поставленных машин. Учитывая то нетерпение, с которым их ожидают российские военные на линии боевого соприкосновения, судьба остальных незавидна.
Эту публикацию британской газеты судя по всему можно расценивать как разрешение и в некотором смысле на давление на слишком "независимого" Маска.

Translation:

A Russian soldier, risking his life, pulls a wounded Ukrainian soldier out of the line of fire during the battle.
At this moment there is a firefight.
The soldier asks his boys to cover him with fire so that the Ukrainians, who are still ready for combat, do not fire.

Russian: Hold the machine gun barrel with both hands.

Ukrainian: It hurts! It hurts!

Russian: I understand that it hurts, but you have to hold on. Hold on tight. If you want to live, get on your back.

Ukrainian: Ow - ow, it hurts!

Russian - Hang on! Hang on!

Russian - And where is your DTK (muzzle brake compensator), did you lose it?

Ukrainian: And I don't have one and I never had one.

Russian: How do they arm you?

Those are 2 triangles, one within the other. Maybe it has something to do with tetrahedrons, Star of David, conversion into 3 dimensional representation, and field concepts.

(A) I was trying to put together things related to research on UFT, and the questions I have asked recently. After a time of being quite desperate, because I could not put these things together, I could finally see some dim light. So, I would like to ask. But, please do not reassure me if what I think is wrong... just tell me it is wrong, and I will look for something else. I came up with the idea that we should model our space time on a kind of a surface embedded in a higher dimensional flat space. This would account for several things that you have told us. At some point you said the following: 'Old makes new again,' which suggested that we should come back to what Einstein was thinking, and then you said 'equilateral versus hypotenuse.' I didn't have a clue, but then I got an idea that it is related to different kinds of tensors with three indices, rather than to geometrical features. Is this guess correct?

A: Partly, but geometric figures provide a third density guide for visualizations of field concepts.

Q: (A) Hmmm....

A: Pyramids inverted upon one another.

Q: (A) Where to put these pyramids?

A: Hexagonal representation of flat plane...

Q: (A) What is hexagonal representation?

A: What does a hexagon look like when converted to three dimensional representation?

Q: (L) Well, a 'flat pyramid' is a triangle, and a triangle has three points, and two triangles inverted becomes a sort of Star of David, and that has six points and is a sort of hexagon... (L) Well, this hexagon business... two dimensional inverted pyramids make a Star of David. But, what if these pyramids were really tetrahedrons? They LOOK like a hexagon in a plane, but in 3 dimensions... (A) They are octohedrons... Octonions... hmmmm....

A: Vortices... this is what your "wormhole" would look like.
