Three years into this war, and Russia still does not have air superiority against the "drug addicts and criminals" as Putin calls them.

Russia arrests two suspects in Crimean car bomb assassination

Mark Trevelyan  |   November 19, 20244:12 AM EST  |  Updated 20 hours ago

MOSCOW, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Russia has arrested two suspects believed to be behind the assassination of a senior naval officer who was killed by a car bomb in Crimea last week, investigators said on Tuesday.
Valery Trankovsky, a naval captain and the chief of staff of the 41st brigade of Russia's missile ships in the Black Sea, died in a black saloon car that was blown up in the city of Sevastopol.
A source in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) told Reuters at the time that it was responsible for the operation, describing Trankovsky as one of the most senior Russian officials that Kyiv has targeted in this way.

Russia's state Investigative Committee said the two suspects were a 47-year-old man, accused of making and detonating the bomb, and a 38-year-old woman who it said had carried out surveillance on the target.

In a video published by Russian military news outlet Zvezda, the pair were shown confessing to the crime. The man said he had been recruited by the SBU in the summer of 2023 and given the task of "liquidating" a high-ranking military officer.

Their faces were blurred out in the video and it was not clear if they were speaking freely or under duress.  .  .  .

Just when you thought you had heard it all:

Russia Accuses UK of Staging Bucha Massacre in Ukraine During UN Security Council

Vlad Litnarovych  |  Nov 19, 2024  |  12:42

Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, accused the United Kingdom of obstructing a potential peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia in the early days of the invasion and setting up the Bucha massacre during his speech at a United Nations Security Council meeting on November 19.

“There is certain symbolism in the fact that it was our British colleagues presiding over the Security Council this month, who forced through today’s meeting, timing it to coincide with the 1,000-day mark since the Ukrainian crisis reached its hot phase,” the representative stated, alleging that the session was intended as a “media opportunity” to demonize Russia.

The accusations also extended to the UK’s alleged involvement in staging events like the Bucha massacre, which the representative described as a “cruel provocation” designed to discredit Russia.

“To justify this shift to the Ukrainian public, British special forces and media participated in staging a cruel provocation in Bucha. After the Russian forces’ withdrawal, corpses were brought and arranged in the streets, yet the real cause of death was never explained to us, despite repeated requests.”  .  .  .

Ukrainian army destroyed five Russian tanks in Kharkiv direction overnight

Karina Bondar - 19 November 2024 | 17:04

UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 19 – On November 19, in the Kharkiv direction, the Russian army lost 100 units of weapons and military equipment, including five tanks, reported the “Kharkiv” group of forces.

Russia started its new offensive north and northeast in the Kharkiv region in May, but Ukrainian troops have stabilized the frontline in this section since. Now, heavy battles are ongoing in and around Vovchansk (three miles from the border, 46 miles away from Kharkiv) and near Lyptsi (six miles from the border, 12 miles from Kharkiv.)

In the Kharkiv direction, Russians also lost two armored combat vehicles, five artillery systems, 18 vehicles, three units of special equipment, and 67 unmanned aerial vehicles over the last day.  .  .

How Ukraine Revolutionized Its Defense Industry in 1,000 Days of War

Illia Kabachynskyi  |  Nov 19, 2024  |  09:42

Ukraine has redefined its defense capabilities to resist Russian aggression. Over 1,000 days of relentless fighting since February 2022, the nation’s weapons production has surged, driven by an expanding portfolio of advanced projects.

Ukraine is doubling down on domestic arms production to counter Russian full-scale invasion. Progress is clear: in 2024, weapons procurement funding soared to $6 billion—50% more than in 2023 and a dramatic leap from 2022.

One major shift is that Ukraine now has the capacity to produce these weapons. Local manufacturers could surpass $20 billion in production value—given enough orders. Before Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s state defense giant, Ukroboronprom, exported just $1.2 billion in arms annually, according to SIPRI rankings.

Ukraine’s allies, particularly Denmark, have been instrumental in boosting production. In 2024, Denmark earmarked hundreds of millions of dollars for purchasing weapons from Ukrainian manufacturers.

And there’s plenty to buy. In just two years, Ukraine’s defense industry has undergone a dramatic transformation, rolling out major projects and scaling the production of artillery and mortar shells. Entirely new categories have emerged, from reconnaissance and attack drones to maritime drones and multi-mission robotic systems. Ukraine is now developing its own missiles—key to countering and deterring Russian offensives. So, what exactly has been achieved?  .  .  .

Russian army conducts 9 assaults in Kupiansk direction

Karina Bondar - 19 November 2024  |  12:53

UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 18 – In the Kupiansk direction, there were nine Russian attacks over the day. Ukrainian army repelled Russian assaults near Kruhliakivka and Lozova, reported the General Staff.

One of the main goals of the Russian full-scale war is to capture the remainder of occupied Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast; their operations on the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line are dedicated to that. From this section of the frontline, they also aim to push into Kharkiv Oblast and re-occupy Kupiansk and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, important logistics hubs for the region. 

In the Kharkiv direction, there were six combat engagements in the area of Vovchansk.

Russia launched two missile strikes and 77 airstrikes, dropping 123 glide bombs (KABs) on positions of Ukrainian troops and cities and villages in the Kharkiv region over the past day in total. Russians fired over 4,900 times at Ukrainian forces, including 152 times with multiple launch rocket systems.  .  .  .

US will allow Ukraine to use American antipersonnel land mines against Russian forces

 By  SAMYA KULLAB and ILLIA NOVIKOV
Updated 7:53 AM CST, November 20, 2024

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Biden administration will allow Ukraine to use American-supplied antipersonnel land mines to help it slow Russia’s battlefield progress in the war, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday, as the U.S. and some other Western embassies in Kyiv stayed closed after a threat of a major Russian aerial attack on the Ukrainian capital.

Speaking to reporters during a trip to Laos, Austin said the shift in Washington’s policy on anrtipersonnel land mines for Ukraine follows changing tactics by the Russians.

Austin said Russian ground troops are leading the movement on the battlefield, rather than forces more protected in armored carriers, so Ukraine has “a need for things that can help slow down that effort on the part of the Russians.”

Russia’s bigger army is slowly pushing Ukraine’s outnumbered army backward in the eastern Donetsk region.

Antipersonnel land mines have long been criticized by charities and activists because they present a lingering threat to civilians. Austin countered that argument.

Actually, most or even all hit their target.

Since then, Storm Shadow missiles have also been fired.
