⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚰️ The number of casualties among Zakhisniks (Defenders) has forced them to look for an opportunity to make a separate cemetery, the UkroSMI has said⚡️

Government spokesman Taras Melnychuk said that the Veterans' Affairs Ministry has been tasked with setting up a cemetery for the Ukrainian Armed Forces within two months. There is no information about the location and size of the plot, but we would like to remind you that according to the standards, an area of at least 7 square metres per grave is allocated.

❗️ It is noteworthy that many Ukrainian media outlets attached to the news a photo of a cemetery of Ukrainian collaborators of the SS Galicia division in #Lvov Region.

⚡️🇺🇦🚒🧯Also Action in West Ukrainian #Lvov⚡️

What a bunch of nutters these Ukrainians are, we can't stop wondering. Their oil depot in #Lvov is on fire.

Once again the air conditioning in the company has failed and then they have decided to shoot a film about astronauts there.

They've also sprinkled everything with whipped cream. Every day is a holiday, my fellow humans!

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Outcome of RF Strikes on Energy System⚡️

Satellite images of Ukraine on February 3 (left photo) and October 17 (right photo) show that the use of precision-guided weapons could deprive the country's power system of not 30% of power plants, as claimed by the country's authorities, but a much larger number of facilities.

Night lighting remained only in large cities: #Kiev, Ivano-Frankovsk, #Khmelnitsky, where the nuclear power plant is located, as well as in #Lvov. The rest of the large settlements, including industrial centers - #Zhytomyr, #Vinnitsa, #Kropyvnytsky, Krivoy Rog and #Nikolaev - are practically not illuminated at night.

This suggests that generation facilities in Ukraine are not damaged, but power lines are guaranteed to be out of action.

⚡️🇧🇾🇷🇺🇺🇦 Situation in the Belarusian Direction by the End of 20 Oct 2022⚡️

⚠️ Amid rumours of an imminent offensive by the Russian Forces either on #Lvov with #Volyn, #Kiev, #Chernigov or #Kharkov, the @Rybar's team decided to turn its attention to the northern regions of #Ukraine and report regularly on the developments there.

Currently, the Ukrainian command continues to reinforce the troop grouping in the north of the country. Reinforcements are being moved to the regions bordering #Belarus, and fortifications are being built in the #Kharkov Region.

#Kharkov Sector:

▪️ A grouping has been formed to prevent Russian troops from resuming their offensive on the regional centre.

▪️ Military personnel of the AFU engineering units are building fortifications at the #Okop - #Veterinarnoye line as well as in #Lukyantsy. Territorial Defence detachments are manning firing positions.

▪️ AFU reconnaissance groups are reconnoitring in the border areas. Observation posts have been established near #Volchansk, #Ternovaya and #Revolyutsionny.

▪️ Artillery crews are deployed near Malye Prokhody, #Borshchevaya, #Liptsy, #Veseloye. And two 155mm Bogdan self-propelled artillery units have been moved to #Pobeda (#Peremoga).

#Northwest Section:

Ukrainian formations continue to prepare reserves to replenish the troops groupings in various directions.

▪️ A new unit, the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade of Airborne Assault Troops, is being formed at the 37th Combined Arms Range of the AFU in #Perlyavka, southwest of #Zhytomyr. The 67th Mechanized Reserve Brigade will be established at the 184th training centre in #Starichi.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Massive Missile Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces in #Ukraine: What is known as of 18:00⚡️

🩸 In the afternoon, the Russian Armed Forces once again launched a series of strikes on targets across #Ukraine. The launches were carried out by long-range aircraft of the Russian Air Force and naval ships. As on previous occasions, the attacks caused electricity and water supply problems in Ukrainian cities.

Despite recent deliveries of Western-made air defence systems, the AFU was once again unable to repel a Russian massive air raid. So far, the following cities are reliably known to have been hit:

▪️ #Kiev: more than five cruise missile sorties. One five-storey building was damaged, which may be a consequence of Ukrainian air defence. Power outages have started in the city.

▪️ #Zhytomyr: two incursions into critical infrastructure, tentatively the Zhytomyrska 330 substation, which has previously been hit by missiles by the Russian Armed Forces. Electricity and water have been lost in the city.

▪️ #Kharkov: power cuts after incoming attacks, underground shut down. Local authorities reported hitting critical infrastructure in Chuguevsky district: probably the Zmievskaya TPP.

▪️ #Lvov: a series of explosions, power and mobile phone outages. According to preliminary reports, one of the targets was a 330kV substation.

▪️ #Sumy: explosions in the area and power outages.

▪️ #Odessa: at least one rocket flew in. Power outage in part of the area.

▪️ #Kirovograd: two sorties, power infrastructure damaged.

▪️ #Volyn: hit energy infrastructure in the region, tentatively a 330kV substation in Kovel.

▪️ #Rivne: explosion, city partially de-energised.

▪️ #KrivoyRog: at least two explosions after arrivals.

▪️ #Khmelnitsky: at least two explosions after incoming flights.

▪️ #Kremenchuk: incoming, infrastructure facility hit.

Although power cuts have begun in the country, it is not gone everywhere: this indirectly indicates that autotransformers, rather than general control points (GCPs), are once again targeted. This reduces the effectiveness of the impact on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 On Protests Against Power Outages in #Odessa⚡️

News broke yesterday of the detention in #Odessa of the organiser of recent protests over power cuts in the city, caused by disruptions due to Russian military strikes on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

▪️ The demonstrations began after information was circulated in Odessa chat rooms that cinemas in #Lvov were running amid severe electricity problems in the #Odessa region.

▪️ On 18 November, residents of houses in #Tairova Settlement blocked the street because of a four-day power outage. According to them, the reason was the inaction of the authorities to repair transformers.

▪️ On the morning of 19 November, residents of the Raduzhnyy housing estate on Marshala Zhukova Avenue (Nebesnaya Sotnya) also blocked the road at a pedestrian crossing. People began self-coordinating via house chats.

▪️ However, police dispersed both actions. The SBU arrested one of the organisers, who apologised on camera and refused to engage in further protests. In addition, the authorities promised Odessans to fix breakdowns in the energy system and created a bot to appeal to residents sitting without electricity for more than three days.

▪️ Similar actions began in #Chernigov, where residents were without power for 20 hours. But local officials told people about a quick solution to the problem and persuaded them to go home.

🩸 Now the protests in #Odessa are likely to die down. In other Ukrainian cities, too, we should not expect a surge of demonstrations: the administrative and power resources of the Kiev authorities simply will not allow them to reach even the regional level.

Nevertheless, what has happened is evidence of public dissatisfaction with the problems in the Ukrainian energy system. Yes, there will be no mass acts of defiance, but the permanent problems with electricity will affect the morale of the Ukrainian population.

And that, in turn, will directly affect the AFU's decreased morale on the front lines and reduce the enemy's offensive capabilities.

Therefore, the systematic firefighting of Ukraine's energy infrastructure must continue.
