RF has shot down internet and mobile phone connections in Kherson - that means they await an AFU night attack.

This month we’ve seen quite a few US nuclear assets being placed around Russia and China.

⚡️ Double failure of Ukrainian paratroopers near Svatove and Kremenna: top story

On the night of November 4, units of the 25th and 80th AFU Airborne Brigades made an attempt to break through to positions of the Russian Armed Forces located 7km northeast of the settlement of Terny and near Kuzemivka in the Kupyansk direction.

According to the AFU radio intercepts, both brigades received similar orders.

The 25th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the AFU was to reach the R-66 route connecting Svatovo (LNR) in the north and Kreminna in the south, while the 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade was instructed to break the first echelon of the RF Armed Forces defence and take under fire control the section of the R-07 route.

Units of the 25th Brigade of the AFU were unable to reach the anticipated breakthrough location: in the morning of November 4, after the detection of infantry and international MaxxPro armoured vehicles by the Orlan-30 drone, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were attacked with Russia's 300 mm Smerch rocket systems .

Units of the 80th Brigade were left without military communications due to the operation of Russian REB complexes and contacted the command via open channels 15 km northwest of Svatov. The contact of the AFU paratroopers was detected by the Shipovnik-AERO REB complex, after which the 80th Brigade's positions were hit by Giatsint-B guns.

It is noteworthy that both company groups of the Ukrainian Airborne Troops were sent on the raid without fire support: the 66th separate mechanised brigade of the AFU, which was covering the 25th brigade, had lost 80 percent of its T-64B and T-72B battle tanks as well as a significant amount of artillery.

The 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the AFU, previously engaged in attacks north of Svatov, has lost 70% of its serviceable tanks and currently has only M113 and YPR-765 light APCs.

The situation in the neighbouring units is even worse: the 95th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade near Olhovka (40 km northwest of Kremenna) has only one out of 11 T-80BV tanks in good condition, and only four out of 18 BM-21 Grad tanks in good condition. Most of the equipment is seriously damaged and cannot be used in combat.

The AFU paratroopers cannot quickly repair tanks and multiple rocket launchers using their own resources: Because of the strikes on Ukraine's power facilities, the delivery of spare parts and necessary equipment to the front lines has practically stopped.

Eurozone factory activity sinks – S&P Global

Manufacturing activity across the Eurozone declined to the lowest level since the Covid-19 pandemic, amid weakening global demand for goods, according to a study by S&P Global.

The report shows that the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for manufacturing dropped to 46.4 in October from September’s 48.4. The figure is below the preliminary reading of 46.6 and the 50-mark separating growth from contraction.

The index also sank to 37.9 from 41.3 in September, as geopolitical uncertainty, high inflation, and weaker economic conditions around the world are putting a dent in people’s spending.

As they struggle to maintain an electricity grid heavily damaged by Russian missiles, officials in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, say they have begun planning for a once unthinkable possibility: a complete blackout that would require the evacuation of the city’s approximately three million remaining residents.

“We understand that if Russia continues such attacks, we may lose our entire electricity system,If there’s no power, there will be no water and no sewage", Roman Tkachuk, the director of security for the Kyiv municipal government, said in an interview.
