The Ministry of Defence denied information about the heavy losses of the 155th brigade of the Pacific Fleet in the special operation zone

MOSCOW, November 7 - RIA Novosti. The Russian Defence Ministry denied the statements of bloggers allegedly on behalf of the marines from the 155th brigade of the Pacific Fleet about "high useless losses in people and equipment" in the special operation zone.
The department said that the units in question have been conducting effective offensive operations in the Vuhledar direction against the Ukrainian army and foreign mercenaries for more than ten days, moving forward in the brigade’s responsibility zone — up to five kilometres deep into Ukrainian defensive positions.
"Due to the competent actions of the commanders of the units, the losses of the Marines over this period do not exceed one percent of the combat personnel and seven percent of the wounded, a significant part of whom have already returned to duty," the ministry said.
They also added that the losses of the enemy along the line of contact of the brigade averaged seven to one, and in some areas — nine to one in people and equipment.

The appeal was published on social networks the day before. Its authors complained about the large number of deaths among the personnel of the brigade during the attack on the village of Pavlovka, occupied by Ukrainian troops.
In the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, mobilized from Chukotka and Primorye region. The head of the Chukotka Autonomous Region, Roman Kopin, promised to "clarify the situation" and urged "to trust only verified information." The Governor of Primorye, Oleg Kozhemyako, noted that the losses are significantly less than the video says.
In early November, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that the Russian military continued to advance in the Ugledar direction and were fighting for Pavlovka.

Well, we have not rushed to publish that news when it first appeared in TG. From other sources it was clarified, that 1% means 18 men... Was it necessary and justified — not for us to decide. However, the fact that Russian MOD responded (fast) to the concerns of the people is significant. There is hope, that eventually "Kremlin towers" "will begin"... (dealing with challenges in real time).

Basically, that thing is subsidized and had 70% of it's price go to la la land because they know half of us can't probably afford it at the moment.

Translated from RIA Novosti:

US midterm elections to be held today

▪️ In the House of Representatives, the struggle for all 435 seats, in the Senate — for 35 out of 100. Polls promise that Biden and his Democrats will lose control of at least the lower house.

▪️ The renewed Congress will start working on January 3, and until then it will continue to function under the leadership of the Democrats.

▪️ The loss of Congress hobbles the second half of Biden's presidency, many things become possible - from “shutdowns” (“closing the government”) to launching an impeachment. Trillion-dollar bills and immunity from political attack will be a thing of the past.

▪️ The Republican Congress will apparently roll back the anti-Trump investigation into the storming of the Capitol and, possibly, will check the foreign business connections of Biden's son Hunter. It is possible that the case will come to impeachment, but Biden's removal is likely to stumble over the Republicans' lack of a majority in 2/3 of the Senate.

▪️ A number of Republican candidates question the justification for large-scale assistance to Ukraine. In this regard, the Democrats are considering the possibility of allocating another $ 50 billion to Kyiv before the change of power in Congress.

▪️ Political scientists believe that the main prerequisite for a republican revenge is dissatisfaction with the state of the economy — a record inflation in 40 years, the risk of a recession, higher lending rates and rising unemployment.

▪️ The first sections will open at 5 am (13 Moscow time). More than 40 million of the nearly 170 million registered voters have already voted early, in person or by mail.

▪️ The night and even several days after the election may not reveal the winner, especially where the candidates will go side by side. Due to the peculiarities of the processing of mail-in ballots, "blue or red mirages" are possible — a temporary distortion of the results in favour of Democrats or Republicans.

Ankara offered its storage capacity for Russian grain
Turkey expects Russia to use the country's storage capacity for its grain

ANKARA, November 8 - RIA Novosti. Russia can use Turkey's storage facilities as hubs for storing its grain, such a solution would be beneficial for both sides, said the head of the Turkish Flour Milling Federation (TUSAF), Eren Gunhan Ulusoy.
"Moscow plans to turn Turkey into a "grain centre". There are plans to store all products in Turkey and distribute them from here. This will be a great decision for our country," the official is quoted by the ekonomi.haber7 portal.

He noted that Turkey, with 8.5 million tons of licensed storage capacity, has sufficient infrastructure for such tasks. “In addition, with Turkey becoming a hub, freight prices will also decrease. An important step will be taken, both in terms of supply and in terms of price,” Ulusoy added.

On July 22, representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN signed a package of two documents in Istanbul. The first memorandum deals with the UN commitment to remove restrictions on the export of Russian fertilizers and agricultural products to world markets. The second defines the algorithm for the export of Ukrainian grain from the ports on the Black Sea. This package deal aims to ensure global food security.
At the end of last week, after the attack on the ships of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Russia suspended participation in the grain deal, but after negotiations with Ankara and receiving written guarantees from Kyiv, it returned to the agreement. The agreement expires November 19th.
