Acting Kherson Governor Vladimir Saldo confirmed on Wednesday that Kirill Stremousov, the deputy head of the regional administration, had died in a car accident in the region.

"It is very hard for me to tell you that Kirill Stremousov died today. He died on the territory of the Kherson Region, moving in a car that got into an accident," Saldo said on Telegram.

Later in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded Stremousov with the Order of Courage posthumously.

💬 "And the most crucial rift is currently between the EU and the US. Even the French president who has had quite a vast educational background, I'm under the impression that he also doesn't really understand supply and demand and the ensuing market forces, because a few weeks ago he was complaining in public about the unfair prices by the US for their production. Right? Right. Nobody sets the price. And all of this is completely misunderstood."

🇺🇸 All in all, the former president endorsed 200 candidates during the GOP primaries, with 37 of them fighting for highly contested seats. Meanwhile, the liberal press raised the alarm on November 9 that a total of 150 "2020 election deniers" are projected to have won the midterm race, in a reference to Trump supporters who believe that the latest presidential election was awash with irregularities and fraud.

▪️The Trump political brand was put to the test on November 8, and it appears that the midterms bode well for the former president: the GOP's projected win in the House will bring an end to the Dems-led probe into his supporters, with the January 6 Committee on Capitol Attack becoming thing of the past.

❗️Scott Ritter, a military analyst and former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, tells Sputnik why the Russian MoD's decision to withdraw from parts of the Kherson Region is a temporary one.

💬 ”Unless the Ukrainian occupation of Kherson occurred in partnership with a larger peace agreement that guaranteed them possession of Kherson in perpetuity, this is, I believe, simply a temporary state of affairs that ultimately, once Russia is able to assemble the totality of the 300,000 men that were mobilized and then carry out combat operations reflective of this new military capacity, that Russia will recapture Kherson, reoccupy the right bank of the Dnepr River and as I said before, have the possibility of advancing further into Ukraine up to and including the capture of the city of Odessa.”

💬 “…there is a fatigue in terms of supporting Ukraine with billions, whether it's in military aid or in financial aid, because there is a growing need among US households, families to deal with high prices. And one of the consequences of the self-imposed embargoes on oil and gas is, of course, also an oil price crisis in the US, which hits the average customer.”

🗳️Former Lawmaker: US Midterm Count to Drag on ‘for Quite Some Time’ if Georgia Stays Undecided

Republicans appear set to win a narrow majority in the House based on preliminary results, but control of the Senate remains completely up-for-grabs with three races yet to be called. Control of the Senate could come down to a runoff election in Georgia if neither party can win both Arizona and Nevada, two states still counting ballots in races too close to call.

🗣️"What you have right now is two candidates who have somewhere around 49 or a little bit more percent of the vote, but neither one of them has 50%. And there may be some very minor candidates who would get a few votes," former Virginia State Senator Richard Black told Sputnik.

"If the state of Georgia remains undecided, then we might not know who will win control of the Senate for quite some time."
