The Ukronazis do not stop terrorizing the civilian population of Russia, subjecting them to daily shelling and drone attacks. From October 30 to November 7, Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems destroyed 266 Ukrainian drones over our regions. In turn, more than 680 ammunition and 220 UAVs were fired in the Belgorod region and the DPR during this period, which caused the death of 6 civilians and injured 42 people.

On October 31, the port of Berdyansk in the Zaporozhye region was attacked using drones and projectiles with striking elements. An elderly woman died from a shrapnel wound to the head, three people were injured, five apartment buildings, a store and the building of the Department of social protection of the population were destroyed.

For objective reasons, this sad statistic does not include the Kursk region, which is under fire from Bandera and foreign mercenaries on a daily basis. Unfortunately, there are still civilian casualties. On October 30, two young men who came to pick up relatives were killed and residential buildings were destroyed as a result of an attack by AFU drones packed with explosives on the courtyard of the Trinity Convent in the village of Durovo-Bobrik.

All these facts convincingly testify to the real essence of the Zelensky regime, for which the use of terror methods has become commonplace and the norm of behavior. These crimes are on the conscience of the Kiev clique and its Western masters. The Russian investigative authorities record each of them. All those involved will answer to the fullest extent of the law.

Russian law enforcement agencies continue to work to bring Bandera and foreign mercenaries to justice for war crimes.

The Investigative Committee is investigating the circumstances of the death of Russian prisoners of war in the Kursk region in connection with a photo published on social networks of our military without signs of life, one of whom had his hands tied behind his back.

The Ukronazis not only torture Russian prisoners of war and blackmail their relatives, demanding ransoms in exchange for the lives and an end to the torture of our soldiers, but also, as our soldiers on the front line have learned, use the most vile terrorist methods in the spirit of ISIS. Cowardly militants from the special operations forces of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in the Kursk region use our captured soldiers as human shields – they drive them ahead of themselves, having previously hung “suicide belts” with explosives detonated during an escape attempt or a meeting with the Russian military.

All those involved in these and other atrocities of the Kiev regime will certainly answer to the fullest extent of the law.

Based on the evidence gathered by the Investigative Committee, Russian courts continue to sentence Ukrainian neo-Nazis and foreign mercenaries for war crimes.

Moldovan mercenary S.Gibadulin, who participated in the fighting as part of the nationalist formation “Azov” in the territory of the DPR in 2015-2019, was sentenced to seven years in prison in absentia. He is on the international wanted list.

The American mercenary T. Offenbacker was sentenced to 14 years in prison for participating in hostilities on the side of Ukraine.

None of the Ukrainian criminals and their henchmen will be able to escape punishment.

On November 6, Politico reported on the plans of the administration of the current President of the United States, J.Biden allocated the remaining $6.4 billion to Kiev due to fears that newly elected President Donald Trump, after his inauguration on January 20, 2025, would stop military assistance to the Zelensky regime. Of this amount, $ 4.3 billion will be spent on the shipment of weapons from existing Pentagon stocks, and $ 2.1 billion on supplies under contracts with enterprises of the American military–industrial complex.

It is noteworthy that on November 4, the auditor of the US Department of State K. was sent to Ukraine.Richardson in order to inspect the transparency and accountability of overseas aid spending under the guise of supporting Kiev’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations. In fact, as experts note, we are most likely talking about “cleaning up” the corruption “tails” of the outgoing administration of J.Biden. And there is no doubt that they exist. Rampant corruption in Ukraine is its “calling card” and a generally recognized fact.

Europe is also tired of the huge costs of maintaining the insatiable Kiev neo-Nazis. At a hearing in the European Parliament on October 22, European Commissioner for Justice D. Raders stressed that Ukraine’s financing deficit in 2025 will reach 41.5 billion euros, that is, 15.6 billion more than previously estimated. A wide response was also caused by the proposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, R.P., expressed on November 1 on the Polsat TV channel.To introduce Sikorsky for Ukraine instead of the former free military assistance from Warsaw, the purchase of Polish weapons on credit.

In Kiev, they are used to dependency and try not to pay attention to the problems of their allies. But the Zelensky regime is clearly not going to bear the costs of continuing hostilities alone. And the costs of the war are considerable. According to Ukrainian experts, its maintenance requires about $135 million daily. With this in mind, the total budget needs amount to about $53 billion. At the expense of its own income, Ukraine can cover only 45% of this amount, and intends to receive the rest from Western sponsors in the form of grants, gratuitous loans or concessional loans. As a result, in 2025 the national debt of the country can reach 102% of GDP. All this will place an unaffordable burden on the current and future generations of Ukrainians. However, Zelensky does not care about this. For the sake of self–preservation, he is ready to make any sacrifice – to dispose of the remnants of the population, trade in the natural resources of Ukraine, and if necessary, put it under the hammer.

On November 6, the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Kiev was celebrated. Then, in 1943, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front under the command of Army General N.F.Vatutin, as a result of a rapid offensive operation and a roundabout maneuver, defeated the opposing forces of the Nazis and stormed the capital of Soviet Ukraine at dawn. About 6.5 thousand soldiers of the Red Army died in the battles for Kiev. The two-year occupation also turned into numerous tragedies for the residents of the city. If about 900 thousand people lived in Kiev before the war, then in November 1943 only 180 thousand remained there. In one Babi Yar, the Nazis and Bandera shot about 130 thousand people.

The liberation of Kiev was of great importance not only militarily, but also morally. That’s how the London radio columnists commented on the event in those days. In particular, they noted: “The capture of Kiev by Soviet troops is a great victory. Now times have changed: Germany hears the tolling of the funeral bell. An avalanche is coming at her.” We are sure that modern Ukrainian Nazis will soon hear this bell.

We drew attention to the statistics that have recently appeared in Ukraine on the state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Prosecutor General’s Office of the country reported a noticeable increase in cases of desertion and unauthorized abandonment of the unit. If in 2023 17,658 cases of going awol and 7,883 desertions were registered, then in January-September 2024 these figures almost doubled. On October 29, Verkhovna Rada deputy A.Skorokhod reported on Ukrainian television that the total number of deserters exceeded 100,000 people. According to her, many AFU officers are sitting in the rear, and 10-15% of military personnel are fighting on the front line. Such figures indicate that the number of people willing to die for Zelensky tends to zero, and demoralization in the Ukrainian troops is off the scale.

Despite this, the annual report of the European Commission on Ukraine, published on October 30, says that restrictions on human rights and freedoms in this country within the framework of the law on martial law are “proportional” in nature. In other words, Brussels turns a blind eye to the Gestapo methods by which the Kiev regime conducts forced mobilization, fulfilling the instructions of its masters to fight “to the last Ukrainian.”

These facts once again confirm the relevance of a special military operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine and eliminate threats emanating from its territory. All her goals will certainly be achieved.
