The Ukrainian southern command showed footage of an S-125 air defense complex repelling a Shahed-drone attack last night.

During the early morning UAV attack in the Kursk region, another blackout occurred in a number of settlements, as a result of which important military facilities of the Russian Armed Forces were left without electricity.

As of now, 49 people have died.

Terrorism, no other words can describe these deeds.

Zelenskyi held a meeting with Macron.

"Strengthening the air defense of Ukraine, as well as the security of the Odesa region and the Black Sea, is critically important for the stability of our entire Europe and the world. We are working together towards this goal. All our previous agreements on strengthening the defense of Ukraine are being implemented. There will be more good news for our soldiers. I thank President Macron and the French people for their firm and constant support for Ukraine," he emphasized.

Zelenskyi met with Nikol Pashinyan.

"During our first meeting with the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, we discussed the security situation in the South Caucasus. Ukraine is interested in the stability of the region and friendly relations with its countries. We also discussed our bilateral cooperation and interregional economic projects."

Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko clarified the attack with more details.

"It was a store, next to a cafe. There were local residents in the store, there were also locals in the cafe, where the memorial service for a local fellow villager was held. In total, there were about 60 people on the territory. 49 people died, among them a 6-year-old girl."

According to him, seven people were seriously injured and are now on operating tables.

All pain and sadness captured in one photo.

This suffering cannot be described in words. #Groza

Putin at the Valdai Forum in Sochi.

"The era of colonial rule is long over. We are faced with the task of building a new world. Russia is capable of making a huge contribution to the new world order, but some have misunderstood our readiness as submission. Nobody was going to listen to Russia, the arrogance of the West was simply off the charts. The prosperity of the West was largely achieved through the plunder of the entire planet and endless expansion."

Putin also shared his (delusional) thoughts on Ukraine.

"Russia did not start the war in Ukraine, but is trying to end it. For the West, anyone who behaves independently turns into someone who needs to be eliminated," he said.

"Real incomes in Russia have grown by more than 12%. Our defense and security spending has roughly doubled, now it is about 6% of the dross domestic product. But all previously announced plans for the country's development and all social commitments are being fully implemented."

Zelenskyi met with President of the European Council, Charles Michel.

"Ukraine is grateful for strong and long-term support from the EU, as well as for the practical help of EU member states. The recent meeting of EU foreign ministers in Kyiv had important symbolic and practical significance. It reaffirmed the unwavering support of the European Union and strengthened our bilateral and multilateral ties."

A video of the drone attack on Russian electrical substations in the Kursk region appeared. The SBU claimed responsibility for these attacks.

"Russia did not start the war in Ukraine but is trying to end it. It was not us who terrorized the Donbas, not us who murdered children. You can powder the brain of millions but we all know what happened in Donbas. It was not Russia that tried to threaten Donbas with bombings and intimidate Crimea. For 10 years it was bombed and people were killed. Nobody in the west cared about that.

The crisis in Ukraine is not a territorial conflict. We are the largest country in the world, not looking for new lands. We will and still have to explore and develop Siberia and the Far east.

Zelenskyi met with the prime minister of Slovakia Ľudovít Ódor, the latter assured of continuous support

"Zelenskyi can rely on our ongoing support. We strive for peace in all of Europe: countries big or small, east or west. Our shared values and vision unite us, and Ukraine is part of this. We have assured Zelenskyi that he can rely on our support," he emphasized.

Zelenskyi met with Scholz.

“Germany is working on providing Ukraine with an additional Patriot system for the winter months,” Zelenskyi said after the meeting.
