🇭🇺‼️🇺🇦 Orban said that Hungary would no longer provide money to Ukraine, allegedly because of a new corruption scandal in the energy sector.

"Lectures on corruption from a politician who is involved in corruption scandals and has made his country the poorest in the EU? No, thank you," the Ukrainian MFA responded.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Zelensky: I spoke with Merz, just after visiting the command posts of our combat brigades and corps. I briefed him on the current situation at the front, and we discussed the key steps that could strengthen our defense.

I am grateful to Germany for its support – since the start of the full-scale war, German assistance has saved thousands of our people’s lives. We particularly value help with air defense systems, military packages, and support for our resilience.

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed that overnight on November 13, they struck dozens of Russian and occupied sites using a mix of drones and domestically produced long-range weapons including Flamingo, Bars, and Liutyi.

Targets included a fuel depot and helicopter site in occupied Crimea, command posts near Berdyansk, and radar systems near Yevpatoria. Damage in mainland Russia is being assessed.

President #Zelenskyy visited Zaporizhzhia, focusing on security, troop tasks, and stabilizing Rivnopilya.

He discussed air defense, logistics, and infrastructure, and met soldiers of the 17th Army Corps, thanking and awarding them for defending the region and city.

🫡 Magyar also reported on the results of the night attack on Crimea.

The following were hit:

🔥The "Marine Oil Terminal" in Feodosia (again in the past three days).

✈️ Storage and maintenance base for enemy "Orion" strike and reconnaissance UAVs at the "Kirovsk" airfield.

Radio Svoboda conducted a nice textbook #OSINT revealing that #Putin has three almost identically looking offices at three geographical locations, which are used to obscure the true place of his residence at any given moment. The traditional Russian sloppiness however resulted in small features of the offices to be not really identical and allowed to distinguish them. Two examples are shown below.

#Apple today presented a truly REVOLUTIONARY idea - a Digital Id, that is keeping your passport data in Apple Wallet, which will be generously recognised by TSA for starters.

That’s something that European Union countries have been doing for the last ~20 years and which had been fiercely contested in the United Kingdom and United States, equated to Nazi Germany and other usual bullshit… because it was EU 😂

But it’s sufficient that a private company in the US comes up with a half-baked clone of the EU Digital Id and millions of Americans suddenly will praise it as an invention comparable to the invention of gunpowder 😄

Using my EU digital id I can register a company, open a bank account, sign tax declarations and do a million of other things without even leaving my house, and they have the same legal effect as handwritten signature on a paper form after spending an hour in a queue in some government office.

🇺🇦 On the night of November 13, Ukrainian units struck several dozen targets on the territory of ю Russia and occupied Territories of Ukraine.

💥 Crimea: Morskoy Neftyanoy oil terminal, a helicopter parking lot and UAV warehouses at the Kirovskoe airfield were hit + air defense radar near Yevpatoria.
💥 Zaporizhzhia direction: an oil depot near Berdyansk and command posts of the 5th Army and the 127th Division were hit.
💥 Strikes have also been confirmed on facilities on the territory of Russia.

A group of humanitarian NGOs estimate that that 7’000-30’000 Ukrainian civilians have been abducted by #Russia security forces from the occupied territories and are considered “missing” by #Ukraine authorities. Many of them are held in Russian prisons and concentration camps, some were killed (e.g. Victoria Roshchyna). One group accounted for 70’000 abducted civilians.

🤬 The consequences of the Shahed strike on Mykolaiv.

During the Russian attack on an industrial infrastructure facility in Mykolaiv, a fire broke out, which was extinguished by rescuers.

Currently, 6 injured are known, three people are in serious condition.

🇺🇸🇺🇦❗️Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Russia is destroying some air defense systems supplied to Kyiv just a week after their delivery.

"We are negotiating the delivery of defensive weapons that can protect the power grid. I know we are in ongoing technical discussions about the specific equipment they need. But ultimately, if this equipment is destroyed a week after installation, the problem will remain. And that's how it's been for the past two or three years," Marco Rubio emphasized.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Warriors of the 128th Zakarpattia Separate Mountain Assault Brigade are defending the Stepnohirsk area in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Today, I met with the defenders, spoke with them, and presented state awards.

📃🗣"The current contact line should be the starting point for negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow," — a joint statement by the G7 and the EU

At a meeting in Canada, the partner countries emphasized that international borders cannot be changed by force, but a ceasefire is necessary to stabilize the situation.

➡️The issue of frozen Russian assets, readiness to increase economic pressure, and protection of Ukraine's energy infrastructure after another Russian attack were also discussed.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 PM Svyrydenko confirmed that Ukraine received €5.9 billion from the EU.

🔹€4.1 billion euros within the framework of ERA Loans mechanism - the final tranche within the framework of €18 billion program, financed from the proceeds from frozen Russian assets.

🔹€1.8 billion - within the framework of Ukraine Facility. This is confirmation that Ukraine is confidently moving along the path of reforms and European integration.

Of the surge in oil on tankers since the end of August, as much as roughly 40% of the increase is barrels from Russia, Iran, Venezuela, or unclear origin, according to vessel-tracking data from Vortexa, Kpler and OilX. Even the lowest estimate, at about 20%.

Zelensky to impose sanctions against close associates following $100 million corruption scandal

The two are implicated in the $100 million corruption scandal centered on the state-owned nuclear power company Energoatom, which has rocked the country since Monday.

^{Oleksiy Sorokin (The Kyiv Independent)}

🇭🇺❗️🇺🇦 Hungarian Foreign Minister Szijjártó said that the EU should stop "sending European citizens' money to Ukraine" in light of Mindichgate.

He assured that as long as the Fidesz party is in power, "the money of the Hungarian people will not go to Ukraine."

❗️Local propagandists of Oryol released a story about occupied Donetsk. They did not just show the positions of the occupier, but directly admitted that:

- Russians use civilian cars to transport ammunition and for camouflage;

- Russians occupy civilian houses to accommodate military units and mark the same houses so that no one else takes them;

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Command post of the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade “Velykyi Luh.” The brigade, now part of the 17th Corps, is defending the Orikhiv direction.

I listened to a report on the operational situation in this sector, enemy activity, and losses among the occupiers.

A separate discussion focused on the development of unmanned systems unit. We are doing everything to strengthen our warriors.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 EU makes first statement on corruption scandal in Ukraine

Kaja Kallas told Reuters that the corruption scandal in Ukraine's energy sector is "extremely regrettable." She said it was "important that Kyiv takes it seriously."

❄️💵 Zelensky: It will be a very big loss for the Russians if we can somehow get this money. Whether it will be a loan under the guarantees of other countries, or another option. But if we can get this 140-160 billion, it will be a big loss for Putin and people from his circle.

This will be an important signal to Russia!

In an act of self-incrimination, pro-Russian media from Oryol aired a report from occupied Donetsk that inadvertently confirmed multiple war crimes. The segment revealed that Russian forces are using civilian vehicles to transport ammunition and disguise troop movements, and are occupying civilian homes, marking them with graffiti such as “Occupied” to reserve them for military use.

One damaged building with a large basement now reportedly houses rear units of the 1st Guards Tank Army.

‼️🇪🇺 Russia wants to start a major war on the European continent in 2029 or 2030, - Zelensky

"We need more pressure on Russia. Given the situation on the battlefield, we don't see that Russia wants to stop.

And, according to our estimates, they want to continue this war," the president said.
