Original title: Russia and Ukraine latest November 16: Ukraine encountered the largest missile attack, Russian missile dropped 2 people
Morning mist / Reposted
Dear readers and friends, today is November 16, we continue to analyze the situation of Russia and Ukraine.
The most important battlefield information from yesterday to today is about missiles. First of all: On the 15th, many places in Ukraine were attacked by Russian missiles. All major cities across Ukraine sounded alarms. However, the damage caused by this attack is not as great as the previous few times. Deputy Director of the Ukrainian Presidential Office Tymoshenko said that 70 of the more than 90 missiles that attacked Ukraine on November 15 were shot down. Especially in the Kiev area, the air defense forces shot down 18 of the 21 missiles. But there were also hits: 15 energy infrastructure was destroyed. Affected by this, more than 7 million people lost their power supply. Tymoshenko said that this includes Kiev, Vinnica , Warren, Donetsk , Dnepropetrovsk , Zytomir , Kiev, Kirovograd, Lviv , Poltava, Rovno , Samui, Ternopol , Kharkov, Khmelniksky , Cherkass, Chernovts and Chernigov.
I want to point out that this wave of missile attacks is the largest among the Russian military's multiple missile attacks since early October. Although fewer drones are used, the number of missiles has reached a new high. The power infrastructure in Ukraine, which had not yet been restored to normal, was damaged this time, and the difficulties of the Ukrainian people were undoubtedly worsened. I believe that the Ukrainians will remember this account. Then we will ask the Russians for retrieval.
was in yesterday's Russian missile attack. A Russian cruise missile was shot down by the Ukrainian air defense system over Kiev. According to information provided by the Ukrainian Air Force Command: 18 of the 21 missiles that attacked Kiev yesterday were successfully intercepted.

Polish President Duda confirmed the matter immediately, but the statement did not have clear evidence to indicate who fired the missile. Poland then summoned the Russian ambassador to Poland, and some Polish troops and all military and police departments were raised to a high level of alert and strengthened airspace monitoring. Under such circumstances, Poland may request the citation of NATO Article 4, that is, to convene the heads of NATO member states for emergency consultations.
Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs then issued a statement: "The Russian Federation armed forces once again carried out a large-scale attack on the entire Ukraine and its important infrastructure for several hours. At 15:40, a Russian missile fell in the village of Pzewodov in Khrubeshuv District, Lublin Province, killing two citizens of the Polish Republic. Regarding this incident, Foreign Minister Zbignev Lau summoned the Russian Federation ambassador to Poland and asked for an immediate detailed explanation."
Polish General Rimolawitski said that the Polish military and military police departments were on high alert and strengthened the monitoring of Polish airspace. Poland is still working to find out the cause of the explosion, calling on all Poles to stay calm. Poland is in consultation with NATO allies to invoke Article 4.
Polish President Angey Duda said in his speech on Tuesday that there is currently no conclusive evidence for who launched the missile. An investigation is underway. This is likely a Russian-made missile. The United States sent decent experts to the scene to investigate. He tends to believe that this is an occasional one-time event.
Many open source intelligence analysis experts on the Internet made judgments based on the currently published images of on-site missile wreckage: they belong to the 48D6 engine of the 5V55 series missile of the S-300 air defense system, which is most likely Ukrainian. This judgment is limited to making based on fragments within the image.
However, other types of missiles, such as the 48N6 series, may also use very similar designs, so it is not completely determined, and other sources of information are required to support it.
As of the time of publication, the final investigation results of this incident are obviously far from being concluded, but no matter what the result is, please remember that if there was no war and Russia did not launch missiles at Ukraine, such a thing would not have happened. Therefore, there is no problem with the Polish government summoned the Russian ambassador and considered invoking article 4 of the North Atlantic Convention .
This is not my own idea. This is what the heads and politicians of many Western countries think. For example, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutt said: There is nothing that dares to say. No matter whose missile falls into Poland, the reason is caused by Russian missiles attacking Ukraine. It is impossible for the atmosphere to fall out of thin air. The Dutch said this clearly because he remembered the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 that was shot down in the border between eastern Ukraine and Russia.
New British Prime Minister Sunak speaks on missile attack on Poland: None of this would have happened if it weren't for the war between Russia and Ukraine. Obviously the same opinion was expressed.
I don't think Western countries will frame Russia, distort the facts, and say that what is not done by Russia is done by Russia; let alone that the events that occur unintentionally are deliberate attacks. All follow-up actions of are to be made in the formal investigation, and the results of the formal investigation are decisive for the upcoming actions. This is because Western countries cannot act like Russia. Most countries in the world adhere to correct values and behavioral logic, and the countries that spoof are the few after all.
On the same day, Biden told the media in Nusa Dua, Indonesia that considering the ballistic problem, it is unlikely that the missile that killed two people in Poland was launched from Russia. He also promised that the United States would fully support Poland. Biden's original words were: "The current preliminary information can question this statement. I don't want to draw conclusions until we fully investigate. But from a ballistic perspective, it is unlikely to be launched from Russia. Let's wait and see." Biden said he would send an expert team to assist Poland in the investigation.
Regarding the incident where Russian-made missiles killed two Polish people, the Russian Ministry of Defense responded: the so-called remarks about Russian missiles landing on Polish territory are deliberate provocations aimed at escalating the situation. Russia seems to be a little thief shouting to catch the thief. The Poles didn't say that you did it, why are you so excited?
Poland has asked NATO to initiate Article 4 of the Convention, namely, "When NATO member states are threatened with territorial integrity, political independence or security, NATO countries will conduct emergency consultations at the proposal of any member state." Once the missile is confirmed to be launched by the Russian army and the two sides have not properly resolved, it is likely to activate Article 5 of NATO, "Once the member state is confirmed to be attacked, other member states will respond immediately. This clause is understood as the troops of various countries will automatically participate in the war, and no longer require the authorization of governments to participate in the war, that is, the right to collective self-defense."
As of the time of the issuance of the article, the latest news is that President Duda said: Russia should be responsible for what happened yesterday. There is currently no indication that this is a deliberate attack on Poland. The wreckage at the scene is most likely the S-300 air defense missile . We have no evidence that this is a rocket launched by Russia. The most likely one is Ukrainian air defense missiles.
I must point out that the possibility of Ukrainian air defense missiles does not exist.Although the Russian Aerospace Force repeatedly stated that it had destroyed many Ukrainian air defense systems, the S-300 systems in the hands of the Ukrainian army had long been eliminated by the Russian army, we all know that the results released by the Russian army were very rich. According to their statement, the Himas in the hands of the Ukrainian army had long been destroyed. However, the Ukrainian army is likely to really have some S-300 air defense missiles and may have used them in the Russian large-scale missile attack on the 15th. It is very likely that one of them fell to Poland due to some factors.
before the publication of the article, another news was received, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg said: NATO countries support Poland, and we will continue to support Ukraine. He stressed that the fact that the missile exploded in Poland was almost directly caused by Russian attacks on Ukraine, and we will support and strengthen Ukraine's natural right to self-defense. Russia must finally stop the war.
It seems that all countries have a highly consistent understanding of this matter, that is, first of all, they must respect the facts. Which country launched the missile and will not indiscriminately accuse Russia. Of course, if it was done by Russia, they will never give it lightly. Secondly, all countries are very clear that whether the missile was from Ukrainian or Russian, whether it was intentional or unintentional to attack Poland, its ultimate root lies in Russia. Without this war, nothing would have happened.
There is another thing that must be discussed today. According to Russian media "Russia Today" report on November 15, the Hungarian Oil and Gas Group (MOL) confirmed on the same day that the "Friendship" oil pipeline that crosses Ukraine has been suspended by Ukraine, and Hungary has no longer received Russian oil transported by the pipeline. The Ukrainian official explanation for this is that Russian air strikes hit a substation near the border of Belarus in . The substation was damaged and could not provide the power needed to operate a pump station in the Friendship pipeline. Meanwhile, Igor Deming, spokesman for Russian State Oil Pipeline Transportation Company, said that Ukraine also notified Russia that pipeline transportation services were suspended due to the drop in voltage.
MOL stated in a statement on the day that the Russian oil transportation services to Czech and Slovak have also been "temporarily stopped". MOL said it is monitoring the incident and working with Ukrainian partners to study conditions for restarting the 'friendship' pipeline. MOL's statement added that they have enough oil reserves to ensure operations of the Danube refinery in Hungary, before the pipeline is re-entered. Hungarian Prime Minister Orban spokesman Havasi said that the Prime Minister has convened an emergency meeting of the National Security Council to resolve issues such as temporary closure of oil pipelines.
Whether Ukraine terminated the operation of the pump station due to substations or other reasons, it is difficult for the outside world to know at present. It can only be said that this looks like Russia stopped transporting natural gas to Germany due to turbines a few months ago, and then recovered. It is very interesting. Since Russia can play this set, why can't Ukraine play it?
Some sounds are looming, Hungary is very unhappy in private: Russia shelled your place, but the pipeline is not damaged. Why... I have to say that the Hungarians' pattern is really big.
We will definitely not forget that the EU intends to provide Ukraine with 18 billion euros in support next year. Hungarian Foreign Minister Sijardo made it clear that Hungary will not contribute capital and will use the veto power to prevent other countries from investing. Hungary has not provided assistance to Ukraine so far. Hungary has so far disagrees with sanctions against Russia. Not long ago, the EU and NATO countries collectively responded to the call to train soldiers for Ukraine, but Hungary said it would not participate. In such a situation, Ukraine would continue to help you transport oil. Why?
After talking about the big news, the battle situation was said:
. Russia's human resources problem seems to be really big. After the strategic rocket forces, even the people from the space force were brought up to act as cannon fodder:
This badge was seized by members of the Ukrainian SBU Alpha team. The badge comes from the 14th Command and Survey Department of the Russian Space Force.The ministry comes from the main Test and Space Systems Control Center of Titov, responsible for controlling satellites. Is there a lack of people to this level?
, the first Iranian vests and helmets are now being discovered from captured Russian conscripts. Ukrainian troops found that the armor worn by the Russian army was from Iran during the battle near the P66 Highway connecting Swatov and Krimina. They took photos:
, "We have no regiment anymore, 2,500 people are dead"! In the past day, a recording of the phone was circulated on the Internet, first released by Russian media. The Russian publication Verstka quoted relatives of one of the soldiers as saying that twenty mobilized soldiers from the Lipetsk region who escaped from the frontier positions near Swatov, Luhansk Prefecture, were facing charges of desertion, and the remaining 2,500 of their battalions had been killed. The publication also released a recording of the phone number of one of the mobilizers who managed to survive:
The Russian army, named Verstka, claimed that they were soldiers of the 362nd Commander Company of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Regiment, who were trained at the Air Force Training Center in Voronezh. After being baptized by artillery fire on the Ukrainian battlefield, their regiment was wiped out. The recording takes 3 minutes and 38 seconds. Some people translate the text into Chinese. The general meaning is as follows:
We are just meat, just ** (scented with fragrant mouth), we are not considered human. The guys are back, in one battalion, there are only 15 people and 20 people. They said that only this is left, no more people are left, and our camp is gone. Yesterday the commander told us: "You have to hold on for two weeks, guys." How can we last for two weeks? We stayed here for about 12 days! We don't have a group anymore! 2,500 people have died! ! Yesterday they took our weapons and we are already considered deserters. Those who carried these guys out, now here, say, "Put us in jail, we won't go there again!" They really said they would rather be in jail for 10 years, but they can survive. They were told: "You are deserters, you did not obey orders, you left the officer and ran away without authorization." But the officer was not on the front line at all!
. The results released by the Ukrainian army today:
personnel: 82710 people, 630 new people;
tank : 2871 units, 10 new cars;
armored vehicles : 5797 units, 10 new cars;
artillery : 1860 units, 10 new cars.
. Regarding the Jinben mojito, some Ukrainian media published news that their tone was not so firm, saying that the rumored unconfirmed reports that the Ukrainian mojito landed on the Jinben mojito and had completely controlled the Dnieper Bay. also said that , the left bank of the Dnieper River, , has been abandoned by the Russian army. There is no clear statement as to whether it has been occupied by the Ukrainian army.
It should be noted that the above news is currently at the rumor level. The Ukrainian Southern Operations Command said: The Ukrainian armed forces have not confirmed the information about the occupation of Jinben Mozui and Oleshek on the left bank of the Khlsong area. What is the situation? We still have to wait for a while before the truth will be revealed.
. We will briefly describe the situation dynamics of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield in the past 24 hours:
a. The Russian army carried out the largest missile attack on Ukraine's critical infrastructure since the beginning of the war, and may have used a large part of their remaining high-precision weapon system. However, according to Ukrainian figures, most of the incoming missiles and all Iranian suicide drones were shot down, which shows the great progress in Ukrainian air defense capabilities. Looking back at this time a month ago, the Ukrainian army had almost no modern air defense capabilities, but now it is completely different.Although Ukraine has not yet formed a complete prevention and control system coverage within its territory, with the entry of more and more IRIS-T, NASAMS, Hawk3 and other air defense systems, the sky in Ukraine is becoming increasingly airtight. What is increasing and declining is that the inventory of Russian high-tech missiles has reached bottom, and the penetration capability of the remaining missiles has gradually returned to zero.
b. According to the battlefield situation analysis, the Russian army could not capture for a long time and irritatedly threw the under-trained mobilized troops into the attack on the strongholds on the eastern front of Ukraine. did this in addition to causing major casualties, but it had almost no results. This phenomenon has caused more and more military blogs and ordinary people in Russia.
c, with the loss of the right bank of the Dnieper River, the risk of Russia's logistics route from Crimea to southern Ukraine is much higher than a week ago. The troops deployed along the left bank of the Dnieper River are also at risk of being hunted by the Ukrainian army with more advantageous range, so they are continuing to retreat, leaving a buffer zone of 15 to 20 wide on the left bank of the Dnieper River. The Oreshki mentioned earlier is in this area.
d, Russian troops are continuing to get some military equipment from Belarus to supplement them.
There are a lot of good news about assistance today. Most importantly, Biden asked for more than $37 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine.
Joe BidenPresident is asking Congress to provide more than $37 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine, a massive cash injection. US President Biden said that we must continue to support the Ukrainian people, who are defending themselves tenaciously and resisting resolutely in the face of war in Russia.
When requesting such substantial funds for Ukraine, U.S. Republican is preparing to control the House of Representatives after midterm elections . House Republican Members who are expected to become Speaker Kevin McCarthy warned that if Republican people get a majority, they will not support the issuance of a " blank check " for Ukraine (but its meaning is not "no tips", but the need to strengthen supervision and other sets). More than three-quarters of the $40 billion approved by Congress for Ukraine earlier this year have been paid or promised to pay. In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , Young said that the United States has provided major aid that is crucial to Ukraine's success on the battlefield and that such support cannot be dried up now.
Proposed Ukrainian aid includes $21.7 billion for military, intelligence and other defense support, $14.5 billion for humanitarian aid and help to maintain the operation of the Ukrainian government, $900 million for health care and support services for Ukrainians living in the United States, and $626 million for nuclear security support and modernization of strategic oil reserves.
U.S. aid to Ukraine already includes tens of thousands of missiles and rockets used in air defense and anti-armor systems, as well as more than 84 million rounds of ammunition, as well as drones, water cabinets, trucks, radar , body armor and other equipment. The latest support was last Friday, worth 400 million yuan, mainly including rocket shells, precision ammunition, air defense systems and armored vehicles.
Given the cruelty of the battlefield, the Ukrainian leadership urgently needs to obtain more advanced and longer-range weapons, but the United States has been cautious in this regard and does not provide a system that can allow Ukrainian troops to penetrate deep into Russia or fight Moscow . Biden said last week that he would not be prepared to provide ATACSM rockets with a range of 300 kilometers, nor would he give modern aircraft.
In recent months, the United States' aid has been mainly concentrated on air defense systems and a continuous stream of ammunition. These systems played a key role in helping Ukrainian troops launch a large-scale counterattack, enabling them to repel Russian troops’ advances in the south and east and to regain key territory.
Khersson is the only state capital city seized by the Russians after the war, and the recovery of it was one of the biggest victories of Ukraine in the last nine months of resistance.But most of the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine are still under Russian control, and the battle continues. The Russian army still has more manpower, more heavy weapon and greater mobilization potential. While we are amazed at the achievements of our efforts to defend our country for the Ukrainians, we must never forget that their opponents are extremely powerful and cruel.
. The new Swedish government has just announced the largest military aid package in Swedish to date, worth nearly US$300 million. includes an air defense system, ammunition for air defense systems, armored personnel carriers and winter equipment.
But unfortunately, there are still no archer long-range cannons.
However, in general, Sweden and Finland, which have an industrial foundation and can even be said to be the world's leading excellent industrial capabilities, joining the NATO camp has been a great achievement. Western countries have gathered themselves to provide Ukraine with urgently needed assistance to support them in defeating Russia on the battlefield without affecting their military capabilities and living standards. This reflects the existence of moral power.
No one can deny that Ukraine's national strength is far less than Russia, but fortunately, behind Ukraine is the entire Western camp. Although there are countless "U.S. collapse and NATO brain death" sounds on Jianzhong's network, in fact, Western countries are far from being hurtful except for rising energy prices and a slight increase in military spending. It's just that the money that each country originally used for fragmented money has become a purpose to support Ukraine. NATO has not sent a single army or shot, which has made Russia crumbling.
Now, the Russian army has no hope of victory. Although Russia decides when the war will begin, Russia is powerless when and how it will end. Even if Russia announces a larger-scale mobilization of troops, and even if Russia has obtained volunteer troops or drones from Syria Iran, this enhancement is really a drop in the bucket for the entire Western camp. How can it be possible to reverse the decline?
Recently, I have been very tired because I wrote the official account in the first half of the night and edited the video in the second half of the night. I have nothing to express today. At the end of today's content, I want to play a Chinese song sung by a Ukrainian. I accidentally saw this song and was immediately attracted by it. A group of Ukrainian sinologists from all over the world sang the touching song "Let Spring Come" in Chinese. They recorded videos in Kiev, Ivano-Frankovsk , Shanghai, Changsha and other places. The songs were based on Ukrainian national cultural elements and added different musical arrangements and translations to the original work. From these songs, we will see the bravery and unity of Ukrainians, and the strong confidence in their unique culture and mission. The song title is: Let Spring Come / Буде весна - китайською та українською:
There are two lines of lyrics: The sound of cannons is accompanied by the snowflakes falling to the ground, while the enemy is still lying. Everyone who hears it will cry. Please watch:
I currently have some of the donations that everyone asks me to transfer, which will be transferred to him in the near future. Although it cannot be represented, I still want to say: Ukraine thanks everyone!
