⚡️Hungary considers EU and U.S. leaders to be responsible for problems in Europe and Ukraine.
In an interview to The National Interest, Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga said it was the EU that was responsible for creating the global problem in Ukraine (through sanctions against Russia)
📌The energy crisis is caused by the EU's ingenuous sanctions, which are actually hurting Europe more than Russia.
Varga notes that Hungary has always advocated an immediate ceasefire and peace talks, and all efforts should be aimed at de-escalation, but unfortunately no other state is willing to accept these conditions.
According to the Hungarian politician, it is Russia and the United States that can work out a long-term solution. This is due to the fact that it is the United States, by manipulation through NATO and the EU, that is trying to effect its interests on the territory of Ukraine.

The Pentagon has rejected Ukraine's request to provide MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aerial vehicles.
The reasons were concerns that providing the drones could escalate the conflict and that US technologies may fall into the hands of Russia or Iran.

⚡️⚡️ Key updates on Russia and #UkraineCrisis as on November 11
🔴Kherson retreat
Ukrainian troops have reclaimed several settlements abandoned by Russian forces in southern Ukraine on the first the day after Moscow announced its withdrawal from Kherson region’s left bank, where the regional center is located, to the right bank where it i established defence positions. There were indications on Thursday night that Ukrainian forces were getting closer to the city of Kherson, a port at the mouth of the Dnipro River.
Ukraine's defence minister said on Thursday it would take Russia at least a week to withdraw its troops from the southern city of Kherson and that winter would slow down battlefield operations, giving both sides a chance to regroup. Meanwhile, some commenters both in Russia and Ukraine claimed that Russian troops were retreating under close watch by Kyiv which, however, would not launch strikes at then as “a part of the agreement”.
⚔️U.S. support
President Joe Biden says he expects U.S. aid for Ukraine’s fight against Russia to continue to flow whatever the still-undecided outcome of the midterm elections, where Democrats performed stronger than expected. The president brushed off concerns that Republicans, who are on track to take control of the House, will pull the plug. When asked whether the aid would be uninterrupted, Biden said, “That is my expectation. And, by the way, we’ve not given Ukraine a blank check. There’s a lot of things that Ukraine wants [that] we didn’t do.”
Biden said he decided to deny U.S. aircraft to guarantee Ukraine’s skies because, “We’re not going to get into a third world war, taking on Russian aircraft and directly engage.” In a reference to Ukraine’s request for the longer-range Army Tactical Missile System, made by Lockheed Martin, Biden said he’s denied the Ukrainians such missiles, “because I’m not looking for them to start bombing Russian territory.”
⚠️Double standards
The United States will no longer treat Russia as a market economy country, the Commerce Department said on Thursday, revoking the status granted two decades ago that limited the calculation of anti-dumping duties on Russian goods.The Commerce Department said its analysis found “extensive” government involvement in the Russian economy had led to distorted prices and costs, which it said did not accurately reflect whether Russian companies were fairly pricing imports into the United States.
🇫🇷France warns of WWIII
Russia's invasion of Ukraine put it on an "irreversible" path toward a clash with the "collective West", France has warned. "The rupture introduced by the war and the irreversibility of Russian strategic choices make it necessary to anticipate a confrontation with Moscow," the French Secretariat-General for National Defence and Security (SGDSN) said in a Strategic Review published on Wednesday.
"The Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the Baltic area, the Balkans, the North Atlantic, but also Africa and the Middle East offer prospects of prolonged confrontation coupled with risks of potentially escalating incidents," the document said. It was signed off by French president Emmanuel Macron, who also warned of heightened tension with Russia in a speech the same day.
🚖Changing wheels
Stocks of European, American and Japanese cars in Russia will last for a maximum of 4 months, according to a survey of Russian dealers by RIA Novosti, cited by Kommersant. The niche of Western manufacturers in the market is occupied by Chinese brands. Kia, Toyota, Volkswagen, Nissan, Renault, Ford and Skoda are among those brands that have stopped supplying cars to Russia.

Putin signed Russia's 17 traditional values into law
Here is the now official list of Russia's traditional values:
•Life
•Dignity
•Human rights and freedoms
•Patriotism
•Civic consciousness
•Serving the Motherland and taking responsibility for its destiny
•High moral ideals
•Solid family ties
•Constructive labour
•Priority of the spiritual over the material
•Humanism
•Compassion
•Justice
•Collectivism
•Mutual help and respect
•Historical memory and continuity of generations
•Unity of Russia's peoples
Orthodox Christianity has a "special role" in forming Russia's traditional values, although the President's decree acknowledges inputs made by all of the country's main religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism and "other religions".
The document explains that unfriendly countries, corporations and terrorists can harm Russia's traditional values by replacing them with their own.

Ramzan Kadyrov on Kherson
I totally agree with Mr Prigozhin's view on Surovikin's decision. Evgeny Viktorovich noted very precisely that Surovikin saved a thousand soldiers who were in a de facto encirclement. Having weighed up all the pros and cons, General Surovikin has made a difficult but correct choice between senseless sacrifice for the sake of loud statements and saving the priceless lives of soldiers.
Kherson is a very difficult area lacking the possibility of a steady regular ammunition supply and the formation of a strong reliable rear. Why was this not done from the first days of the special operation? That is another question. But in this difficult situation the general acts wisely and farsightedly - he has evacuated the civilian population and given the order to regroup.
So there is no need to talk about "surrendering" Kherson. "Surrendering" implies the surrendering of the fighters. On the contrary, Surovikin spares his soldiers and occupies a more advantageous strategic position – comfortable and safe.
Everyone knew that Kherson was a difficult battlefield from the very first days of the special operation. Soldiers of my units also reported that it was very difficult to fight in this area. Yes, it can be held, some ammunition can be brought in, but at the cost of numerous human lives. Such a prospect is unacceptable for us.
That is why I think that Surovikin acted as a true combat general, one who is not afraid of criticism. He is responsible for people. He knows best.
Thank you, Sergey Vladimirovich, for taking care of the guys! We'll fulfill the order of the Commander-in-Chief. We will not stop fighting the enemy and we will not get tired!

Opinion on Kherson.
Anyone who has spent the last month on the Kherson or Zaporozhye front has seen and understood everything.
Do not give in to panic. Over the last month the local population has been evacuated to the left bank of the river and defence preparations have been made.
The objective of the front line in Kherson was to hold back the advance of the AFU until the maximum number of civilians had been evacuated from the right bank. The front has coped with this task perfectly well. Now there is an organised and well-prepared manoeuvre to redeploy troops to pre-prepared (!) defensive lines. The overall coordination and the level of understanding amongst the troops is encouraging.
For the past month, anyone driving along the Melitopol-Kherson highway could observe caravans with concrete "dragon's teeth" and stationary bunkers being dug in on the left bank. In the Zaporozhye region, too, a defence in depth has been established - everyone understands perfectly well that having fortified the Dnieper, the AFU will attempt a breakthrough right here in Zaporozhye, near Energodar.
As soldiers, we trust our command and we are ready to carry out any task.

⚔🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Forces Complete Withdrawal From Kherson City - Reports
If so, this eliminates the only possible opportunity Ukraine had to corner, kill or capture large numbers of Russian troops and their equipment.
The fighting will continue as a process of thinning and stretching out Ukraine's forces wherever they are pushing and eliminating them wherever they are vulnerable.
In the meantime, Ukraine's power grid continues being dismantled while Washington attempts to sign contracts to get missiles and tanks inactive for decades "refurbished" to send Ukraine.
Don't look at lines on maps. Look at the vector sum of losses on both sides and their ability to replace them. It's a war of attrition aimed at destroying Ukraine's military (demilitarization), not a war for territory (taking and holding cities at all costs).

⚡️The AFU command prepared "false-flag" attacks on Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod regions.
❗️Exclusive❗️
@anna_news сorrespondents have spokeт to Pavel Kochuba, a Ukrainian platoon commander of the 53rd Independent Mechanized Brigade, who fell into the hands of the Wagners.
🔹The AFU command was preparing saboteurs to strike civilian infrastructure and attack Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions.
These operations were to be carried out under a "false flag" - using Russian army identification signs, the Ukrainian said.
🔹Kobucha said that he was transferred to the area of Zaitsevo settlement. He stayed there for two months. All this time their positions were under constant shelling, and they themselves suffered heavy losses.
"Of the last - on November 3: three were severely injured, two more escaped. We were at Opytnoye at that time. After the shelling, the Russian military approached, many of our people also escaped. We hid, but they found us and forced us to surrender."
🔹 He tells the reporters that the morale of the Ukrainian military was very low and few wanted to sit under fire: experienced fighters were tired, and the newly arrived reservists did not want to sacrifice themselves, seeing the constant clashes with the Russian Armed Forces.
The prisoner's story is in our report.
