One of the biggest attacks on Moscow since the beginning of the war

The armies of Russia and Ukraine launched tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) one of the largest and most massive UAV attacks since the beginning of the war, with hundreds of UAVs launched in total, including dozens towards Moscow. In Britain they emphasize: the month of October was the most difficult month for the Russian army since the beginning of the war, despite a series of achievements on the battlefield. A former senior adviser to Trump made it clear: Ukraine has already lost the Crimean peninsula, but those around the president-elect shrugged off his words and made it clear: “He does not represent his positions.”The Air Force of Ukraine announced this morning that it shot down 62 out of 145 Iranian drones launched by the Russian army at various targets throughout the country. This is further evidence of the large drop in the rate of interceptions by the Ukrainian army, with less than 50% success in intercepting the drones.

 

 

 

The Ministry of Defense of Russia said that at least 70 drones launched by the Ukrainian army were intercepted in six different districts of the country. At least 22 drones were intercepted in the area of ​​the capital city of Moscow, in one of the largest attacks on it since the beginning of the war. There are no known hits recorded in the Russian capital, and it is likely that more air defense systems are concentrated there and therefore the rate of interceptions is higher there. On the other hand, in Russia it was reported that Ukrainian drones hit military targets in the Bryansk region, near the border between the countries.

 

At the same time as the extensive airstrikes, the Russian army prepared for a broad counter-attack against the Ukrainian forces that continue to hold the Kursk region. American and Ukrainian sources told the New York Times that the Russian army has concentrated a force of about 50,000 soldiers in the area, including North Korean soldiers, in preparation for the attack that is expected to be launched in the coming days.

in the Russian news agency TASS It was reported yesterday that President Vladimir Putin signed the law ratifying Russia’s comprehensive cooperation with North Korea. More than ten thousand North Korean soldiers are already stationed in fighting positions against the Ukrainian army, mainly in the Kursk region, where the Ukrainians have been holding for three months an area measuring approximately 600 square kilometers. In addition, there are estimates that North Korean soldiers are already deployed in other arenas as well, Emphasis on the main front in the Donetsk region.

 

 

 

Sir Admiral Tony Redkin, Chief of Staff of the British Ministry of Defense, said in an interview toBBC Because the month of October was the most difficult for the Russian army since the beginning of the war. According to him, during this month, the Russians lost more than 1,500 soldiers killed and wounded every day. With this, according to him, the number of Russian soldiers who have been injured since the beginning of the war more than two and a half years ago reaches more than 700 thousand.

After the election victory of Donald Trump, both in Kiev and Moscow are preparing for the possibility of the end of the war. During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly emphasized that he would work to end the war as quickly as possible, “perhaps even before he enters the White House.” At the end of the week, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia cooled the enthusiasm, saying that this is “only rhetoric”, and there is really no possibility of solving problems related to Ukraine in a short time.

 

 

 

Brian Lanza, who served as Trump’s senior adviser in the 2016 election campaign and in the last campaign, said Ethamel in an interview withBBC Because “our goal is to establish peace, not to return lost territories.” He said that Ukraine will have to understand that they will not be able to return all their territories occupied by Russia, although Zelensky himself previously presented this as one of Ukraine’s conditions for ending the war.

 

 

 

He said that “the incoming administration will demand from Mazlansky a realistic version of peace”. Among other things, he said: “If President Zelensky comes to the table and says that he will agree to peace only if the Crimean Peninsula is returned – then he will show us that he is not serious. The Crimean Peninsula is lost.” President-elect Trump’s transition team were quick to disavow what Lanza said, saying that they do not represent Trump.

 

 

 

In Trump’s environment, who in a little more than two months will return to the White House, plans to end the war in Ukraine are not being officially addressed. Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that there is still no set plan for ending the war in Ukraine, and in the meantime there is no idea how to convince Putin and Zelensky to agree to sit at the negotiating table. One of the ideas being discussed is to stipulate that Ukraine will not join NATO for the next 20 years, and in return the US will continue to supply it with many weapons as part of a plan to deter Russia from invading it again. As part of this idea, the war will stop at the current contact line, while 20% of Ukraine’s territory remains in Russia’s hands. It was also suggested that the two countries agree on a demilitarized area of ​​about 1,200 km.
