In particular, on January 13, 1945, in the village of Dorozhnya, Volozhinsky district, Baranovichi region, militants killed Luka Lisogo, a woodsman. Five days later, in the town of Lipniki, Ivye district, Baranovichi region, "the gang attacked the house of citizen Kazimir Galimok, at whose place the secretary of the district executive committee, Gorbatevich, spent the night, the bandits shot the latter."
On January 22, 1945, in the village of Klochkovo, Denitsky Village Council, Molodechno Region, Tur's henchmen shot an assistant detective of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Molodechensky District Department of the NKVD, a district police officer and a fighter of the NKVD fighter battalion. "In the village of Metkovshchizna of the Khokhlovsky village council (a gang) took away five fighters of the extermination battalion, a deputy of the village council and his son, whose fate is unknown," the certificate noted.
On January 25, in the village of Morshaki, Volozhinsky district, Baranovichi region, the Tura gang killed Stepan Zagorsky and Vera Luksha, district commissioners of the People's Commissariat for Procurement, and also took the foreman Skudalov with them. On the same day, in the village of Sedlitsy, bandits killed two employees of the NKGB and the NKVD.
At the hands of members of another gang - Grozny, who operated in the Lida district of the Grodno region, on November 2, 1944, in the village of Slizhi, Tverminsky village council, the lives of the head of the mill Borko Ignatovich and controller Eduard Khrul were cut short.

Gangs of Lord and Vnim in September 1944 in the village of Trokeli, Lida region, killed five specialists in land measurement. At the end of August 1944, in the village of Yurevichi, Lida district, militants killed a local teacher, Ivan Balin.

In the Lida region, a bandit and sabotage group led by Mieczysław Shamrei, a former corporal of the Polish army named Grom, also rampaged. On November 8, 1944, Grom's militants blew up the railway bridge on the Lida-Kurgan stretch. Ten days later, the bandits again blew up the bridge. In the fall of 1944, the gang killed several employees of the financial sector of the Lida region.
A number of other acts of sabotage conceived and committed by the Home Army gangs are described in a certificate from the People's Commissariat of State Security of the USSR, dated June 16, 1945. It cited the main testimonies of former active "Akovites" who acted as witnesses for the prosecution in the case of the last commander of the "Home Army" General Leopold Okulitsky, among the 16 active figures of "AK" who appeared before the court in Moscow in June 1945.
In particular, Kazimir Vasnevsky said that after completing special courses for saboteurs in July 1944, he was seconded to the Borisevich-Krys detachment.
"As Vasnevsky testified, he received an order from Borisevich - to prepare an explosion of a power plant and a water pump at the Lida station," the certificate noted. To commit sabotage, Vasnevsky got a job at the Lida station, where he prepared an explosion together with saboteur Zbigniew Nowak. "The act of sabotage was not carried out due to the arrest of Vasnevsky," the report noted.
Another saboteur Stanislav Kolendo, also after completing the course of saboteurs, was sent to the AK detachment operating in the Novogrudok district of the Baranovichi region under the command of a certain Yagelsky. "In September 1944, Kolendo, as part of a group of saboteurs, took part in a sabotage act - undermining the railway track on the Neman - Novo-Yelnya section. By the time the sabotage was committed, personnel and ammunition were being transported along the highway for the active Red Army," the report said.

⚡️ Statement by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation

◽️ The traffic across the safety corridor defined by the Black Sea Initiative remains suspended until the situation surrounding the terrorist act, committed by Ukraine on 29 October against the warships and civilian vessels in Sevastopol, is clarified.

◽️ We emphasise that the Russian Federation, as the main participant of the abovementioned agreements, does not withdraw from them, but suspends their effect.

◽️ In this regard, the vessel traffic across the safety corridor is unacceptable as Ukrainian leadership and the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine use it for conducting operations against the Russian Federation.

◽️ In the developing conditions, there can be no question of ensuring safety to any facility in the abovementioned direction until the Ukrainian side assumes additional obligations not to use this route for military purposes.

◽️ Considering that the signing and implementation of the Initiative on the Safe Transportation of Grain and Foodstuffs from Ukrainian ports (Black Sea Initiative) was brokered by the UN Secretary General A.Guterres, the UN Security Council and he have been informed about our position.

◽️ We count on assistance from the international organisation in obtaining Ukraine's guarantees not to use the humanitarian corridor and Ukrainian ports, defined in favour of exporting agricultural products, for conducting operations against the Russian Federation.

Biden lost temper with Zelenskyy in June phone call when Ukrainian leader asked for more aid

...
Biden had barely finished telling Zelenskyy he’d just greenlighted another $1 billion in U.S. military assistance for Ukraine when Zelenskyy started listing all the additional help he needed and wasn’t getting. Biden lost his temper, the people familiar with the call said. The American people were being quite generous, and his administration and the U.S. military were working hard to help Ukraine, he said, raising his voice, and Zelenskyy could show a little more gratitude.

Administration officials said Biden and Zelenskyy’s relationship has only improved since the June phone call, after which Zelenskyy made a statement praising the U.S. for its generous assistance. But the clash reflects Biden’s early awareness that both congressional and public support for sending billions of dollars to Ukraine could begin to fade. That moment has arrived just as the president prepares to ask Congress to greenlight even more money for Ukraine.

Grain deal becomes risky, Kremlin says
Putin's press secretary Peskov called the grain deal unrealizable without the participation of Russia

MOSCOW, October 31 - RIA Novosti. A grain deal can hardly exist without Russia's participation, there are questions about security in the Black Sea, said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"In conditions when Russia talks about the impossibility of guaranteeing the safety of navigation in these areas, of course, such a deal is hardly feasible. And it takes on a different character, much more risky, dangerous and unguaranteed," the Kremlin spokesman said, answering a question from journalists whether it is possible continuation of the grain deal without the participation of Russia.

According to him, Kyiv, by its actions, led to the disruption of agreements and undermined "the atmosphere of trust and guaranteed security."
Peskov stressed that Moscow continues to maintain diplomatic contacts with Ankara and the UN.

Ukraine races to stop Russia from destroying its power grid
Electric equipment is desperately needed to keep the country from freezing
The Economist
“I believe that some professionals from the energy sector of the Russian Federation helped their military,” says Dmytro Sakharuk, executive director of DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private power company. “They carefully selected targets; they did this in a very methodological way.”

Russia’s primary targets have been the electrical substations that link different parts of Ukraine’s grid together; some have been hit with as many as ten missiles. The aim is to chop the system into pieces so that power cannot be moved between different regions of the country to balance the load. In serious cases, this can even lead to much of the grid having to be shut down.

A second set of targets is the country’s power plants themselves. Those are bigger and harder to knock out, but as of last week at least 30% of the country’s power capacity had been damaged, according to UkrEnergo, the national-grid operator. Reducing capacity raises the risk that at peak demand the system could experience widespread blackouts and force some plants to shut down. In the worst case, says Mr Sakharuk, plants might lack the current needed to start up again. The blackout might last for a long time.

Ukraine’s grid has been linked to Europe’s since March, allowing European providers to supply current if Ukraine falls short. But if shutdowns make Ukraine’s grid too unstable, Europe might have to disconnect it, at least temporarily, in order to prevent that instability affecting its own grid; that would make Ukraine’s problems even worse. Sudden shutdowns would damage other infrastructure and heavy industry. For example, the ArcelorMittal steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, a city in eastern Ukraine, depends on the public power grid for the facility that turns coal into coke for its blast furnaces. If power were cut abruptly, its equipment would be wrecked, says Mauro Longobardo, chief executive of ArcelorMittal Ukraine. In cities such as Kyiv, meanwhile, water and sewage systems would shut down, along with neighbourhood heating systems. In below-zero temperatures pipes would freeze and crack.

To prevent this, power authorities are imposing rolling blackouts to keep demand safely below available supply. In important cities electricity is being turned off, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, for four hours at a time. Power companies have tried to set up websites to warn residents when the lights will go off, but sometimes blackouts are unpredictable. “They just cut the power, we don’t know when,” says Valera, who works at a bakery in Kyiv’s chic city centre. On the north side of the street, lights were shimmering and smooth pop music played in coffee shops, but along the south side restaurants relied on cash and candlelight.

Sakharuk says they could be swapped in. Circuit-breakers may be compatible too. But there are unlikely to be many such large components lying around, as they are usually built to order. Ordering new components from manufacturers could take anywhere from six months to three years. So Ukraine is asking Western firms to push it to the front of the queue, and take components they have ordered that are nearing completion.

Vladimir Putin: These drones, both underwater and aerial drones, partly flew along the corridor that transports grain from Ukraine. And in this way they created a threat both to our ships, which must ensure the safety of the export of grain, and to the civilian ships that are engaged in this. And we have pledged to ensure this security. And what if - you'll excuse me for the simplicity of expressions - if Ukraine will gouge at these courts? We will be guilty. Just like everyone there is now cracking about what Russia is doing, not remembering what caused it. And this is due to the creation of a threat to this humanitarian corridor. The Minister of Defense rightly says: they pose a threat to both our ships and civilian ships. And we must ensure the safety of civilian courts. Therefore, we are not saying that we are ending our participation in this operation, no, we are saying that we are suspending it.

One of the organizers of this work was the UN Secretary General, and UN staff are actively involved in this work, for which we are grateful to them, of course. But then let them work with Ukraine - Ukraine must guarantee that there will be no threats to civilian vessels and to Russian supply ships. It's not jokes. This underwater vehicle is 6 meters long, there are explosives in there. If it gets there, there will be nothing left of the grain or the ship. And we will be to blame.

In an interview for a Russian state television documentary on the missile crisis, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said there were similarities to 1962, largely because Russia was now threatened by Western weapons in Ukraine.
"I hope that in today's situation, President Joe Biden will have more opportunities to understand who gives orders and how," Lavrov said. "This situation is very disturbing."

Since the start of the war, the Biden administration has effectively maintained a balanced realpolitik approach: arming and funding Ukraine yet continuing to make clear that the United States will not engage directly in the conflict. But the administration has avoided talking about one crucial area of war strategy altogether: how it might end. Experts and policymakers who have suggested that the United States should also support diplomatic efforts aimed at a negotiated settlement have been treated as naïve or borderline treasonous. Driving the administration’s skittishness about endgames, then, are questions of morality: many argue that it is immoral to push Ukraine toward a settlement.
