Russian command prepares Kherson for defence amid reports of an oncoming large-scale offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The civilians of Kherson will be evacuated and the city turned into a fortress before heavy fighting with the enemy. According to intelligence reports, Kiev will try to take the city at any cost, which is the task set by Washington.

A number of Russian and Ukrainian sources, as well as military experts and even war correspondents, claim that Kherson is being prepared for defence. According to the information being circulated, the Russian command decided to evacuate civilians from Kherson and its surroundings to other Russian cities to avoid civilian casualties. The city itself is being turned into a fortress to be defended.

As stated, in the near future Kiev will drive their troops into an offensive with the task of taking Kherson at any cost. This task was set by Washington back in the summer, but the "great strategist" Zelensky failed to achieve it. Now, Biden and the Democrats need to show before the midterm elections that they have not invested so many billions in Ukraine for nothing, as the territories are being "regained".

Warning to the British: get ready for a very cold winter with electricity and gas outages.

The head of Britain's National Grid has warned British households to prepare for a power outage from 16:00 to 19:00 in the "very, very cold" days of January and February.

The Pentagon has modeled the situation in which the Kakhovka dam would be blown up and what the consequences to the region would be.

The Ukrainian President's Office has taken these calculations into account and agreed to missile strikes on the dam, according to Ukranian experts who have access to the political backstage.

In 1985 specialists of the USSR Design and Research Institute "Hydroproject" analyzed the consequences of a hypothetical failure of the Kakhovka reservoir dam. Of course in Soviet times this data was kept under seven seals.

In 2004 the Kherson newspaper "Hryvna" published an article, "We are not ready for a local apocalypse", which revealed details of the secret report of the Hydroproject. If the dam explodes millions of tons of water will hit Kherson with a speed of 24.4 kilometers per hour and a wave height of 1 meter. In as little as 2.5 hours, a rather sharp rise in level to 4.8 meters will follow. The flood will last three days and will completely destroy the regional center.

Netanyahu warns: Iran may get weapons transferred to Ukraine — Jerusalem Post

The ex-Prime Minister of Israel opposed his country supplying weapons to Ukraine. He states there is a risk that the weapons transferred to Ukraine will end up in Iran and be used against Israel itself.

Such was the response by the head of Bayraktar firm to Mr. Pashinsky's recent revelations. In particular, Pashinsky said that most of the Bayraktars were shot down in the first week of the war, and that the entire history of Bayraktar was just PR and corruption.

Recall that the ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Serhiy Pashinsky, was a victim of pranksters Vovan and Lexus. A video with his statements was posted in the public domain.

Ukraine has become a real anti-advertisement for Bayraktars. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took care of this matter

Fascist elites rule Europe. Bulgarian people rise up against arms shipments to Ukraine

The Bulgarian people have come out in spontaneous action against the new pro-NATO and pro-fascist, as the Bulgarians say. The people revolted against the criminal intention to supply arms to Ukraine.
'The first thing these dealers shouted was supplying weapons to the Ukrainians (that is why they were put there, to give out our weapons) they do not think about Bulgaria, about their people.
Their task is to give weapons to Ukraine, listen to Zelensky's complaints and make eyes to the USA.
We people, the Bulgarian people, are strongly AGAINST Bulgaria's supplying weapons.'
In the footage, Bulgarians put up a huge Russian flag as a sign of support for SMO.

The European Parliament presented its Sakharov Prize "for freedom of thought" to Zelensky.

Let these two-faced creatures tell about their "prize", for example, to brothers Alexander and Mikhail Kononovich, whom the Zelensky regime threw into prison for criticizing the authorities in TikTok!

Let the European Parliament talk about "freedom of thought" to people whose relatives were killed in Ukraine for subscribing to the wrong Telegram channel or expressing their thoughts against the authorities.

Such "awards" are a shameful degradation of European institutions and abuse of victims of political repression by the Zelensky regime.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Kiev has spent more on the fight against the "Geran" than Russia has on their purchase.

The Russian-Iranian Shahed-136 drones, which Russia has been attacking Ukrainian infrastructure with in recent weeks, cost between $20,000 and $50,000 each, The Guardian writes.

🔹 Moscow's costs for these UAVs could be as high as $17.9 million, analysts with the NGO Molfar have calculated.

🔹 To repel their attacks, Ukraine used not only S-300 and NASAMS SAMs, but also fighter jets and small arms.

At the same time, the AFU lost an entire MiG-29 in an attempt to shoot down the Geranium. It alone cost $22 million.

🔹 In total, Kiev spent up to $28.14 million on the failed defense against UAVs - $10 million more than Russia spent to buy them.

⚡️⚡️Key updates on Russia and #RussiaUkraineCrisis as on October, 21

‼️Attack on civilians
4 people died and another 10 were injured as a result of a missile strike on a ferry in Kherson, local authorities reported, blaming Ukrainian military for the attack targeted specifically at the civilians being evacuated. According to the reports, there are children and journalists among the victims. Ukraine launched 12 HIMARS rockets, 11 of which were intercepted by air defence. One could however reach the target reading to casualties.

More 💰 to Ukraine
U.S. is likely to approve a new aid package to Ukraine worth around $50 billion, congressional aides and a source close to the Ukraine government told NBC.

The new package is discussed amid concerns that a new Congress could take a more skeptical view of aid to Ukraine, so the lawmakers from both parties are looking to lock in billions of dollars in military assistance to Kyiv before newly elected members are sworn in in January, according to sources. The Biden administration has not yet made a formal request for new funding. Congress has allocated a total of $65 billion in funding to Ukraine since Russia attacked the country in February.

💧EU energy woes
EU leaders meeting in Brussels Thursday made tentative progress on measures to tackle the energy crisis, as countries gave the European Commission the green light to work on proposals for a temporary price cap. However, the head of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, clarified that following the results of the first day of the summit, the EU could not approve the package of measures proposed by the EC to combat the energy crisis, even though it has agreed on "strategic instructions" to resolve the situation.

🏭LG goes east
The South Korean manufacturer of household appliances LG plans to close the plant in the Moscow region and move the facility outside the country: the company oil choosing between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, Kommersant reported. The relocation of production to Uzbekistan could be more profitable due to cheap labor available there, however Kazakhstan is more attractive in terms of consumer demand, experts say.

🇨🇦🇺🇦❗"Stop lying": activist in Canada disrupts defence minister's speech in support of Ukraine

This was reported by Reuters.

Defence Minister Anand was speaking about military aid to Ukraine when an unidentified woman burst into the hall and showed a banner addressed to the country's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other Canadian officials.

"STOP LYING. STOP SENDING WEAPONS. STOP NATO," read the sign. "PEACE IN UKRAINE."

Anand interrupted her speech and thanked the activist. Organisers had to take a pause because the woman refused to leave the hall.

"Thank you for sharing that with me and I want to say that the aid that we have sent to Ukraine is aid that is in support of democracy, and sovereignty and rules-based international order - that same order that has kept you, everyone in this room, and our country, safe since the end of the Second World War," Anand said.

We shall remind you that earlier there were protests in the EU against arms supplies to Ukraine. Dissenters took to the streets of France, Germany, Bulgaria and other countries. They protested against NATO and continued aid to Kiev and called for attention to domestic problems such as the energy crisis and continued inflation.

🇬🇧Comrade Liz Truss's results:

▪️Destroyed the UK economy;
▪️Destroyed the Conservative Party;
▪️Sent Queen Elizabeth II to the skies;
▪️Has raised corporate taxes;
▪️Has increased government borrowing;
▪️Failed economic reform.

The Ukrainian armed forces confirmed their missile strike on the Antonovsky bridge, but cynically stated that there could be no civilian casualties...
N. Humenyuk, head of the press centre of the southern "defence"/terror forces, credited all casualties to the Russian military dressed up in civilian clothes...
"They are trying to hide their affiliation with the military and pretend that there is shelling of civilians. But this is not the case," the Goebbels disciple stated.
Recall that on Thursday night the AFU launched a missile strike from US-made HIMARS rocket launchers at the car park of vehicles waiting for their turn for the crossing, which was due to open in the morning.
