On November 21, Russia launched from its state central interspecific range Kapustin Yar in the Astrakhan Region an advanced medium-range ballistic missile on the territory of the Ukrainian State Factory Yuzhmash in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. That day, using available information, military experts assumed that the strike was delivered by the RS-26 Rubezh missile, not a new weapon, but an old forgotten one. This missile has the hypersonic strike part, which is equipped with 6 multiple independently-targetable reentry vehicles or MIRVs each consisting of 6 warheads with tactical nuclear charges. It was also reported that the missile was fitted with the Avangard-R hypersonic glider, and instead of nuclear charges, its MIRVs were loaded with metal blanks. The Ukrainian military claimed that Russian hypersonic Kinzhal missiles were also used in the attack. Another Patriot, the most advanced US air defense system, was reportedly destroyed on the outskirts of the city before the main blow. Moscow did not officially comment on the strikes but Russian diplomacy played well the media game that Kiev and its Western patrons imposed. After the strikes, the spokeswomen of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mariya Zakharova, held a media briefing, during which she had a ‘surprise’ call from the Foreign Minister Lavrov. Everyone clearly heard that the strikes reported by the media should not be commented on. Thus, this was unofficial confirmation of the attack. In Ukraine, the use of such weapons at first caused laughter and misunderstanding. There were arguments that the Russian president played his last trump card, but the bluff allegedly failed anyway. However, already in the evening, Vladimir Putin released a video message in which he spoke about the application of Russias newest medium-range Oreshnik missile targeting a Ukrainian industrial enterprise in response to the recent strikes by the Ukrainian armed forces against Russia with American and British long-range ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles. The Kremlin also emphasized that after the American and British long-range missiles were used against military facilities in the Bryansk and Kursk Regions, “the regional conflict in Ukraine has acquired global character elements”. The Pentagon, in turn, acknowledged that the strike was indeed delivered by an experimental hypersonic missile, expressed concern about it, and said that Russia had warned the United States in advance of its plans to launch such a missile to “reduce nuclear danger.” After such successful and devastating strikes, the world will not be the same. Showing its advanced missile systems in action, Russia has demonstrated that it possesses unique missile technologies and is ready to use them effectively. In case the conflict in Ukraine transforms into a full-scale war with NATO, such complexes can already be used with standard nuclear ammunition, and it is impossible to intercept them, at least over Europe ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Bolt From The Blue: Russia’s Latest Hypersonic Missile Hits Ukrainian Military Plant Amid Kiev’s Failures On Almost All Fronts: at 11/22/24 10:42am
Click to see the full-size image Russia has successfully tested a new hypersonic intercontinental missile in Ukraine, so far without a nuclear warhead. Zelensky made frightened and contradictory comments, while admitting that the Ukrainian army has been hitting Russia with Western long-range weapons for a long time. Meanwhile, Russian troops are on the offensive on all fronts, except the Kharkiv direction. The highlight of the past 24 hours was the launch by the Russian Armed Forces of the medium-range ballistic missile “Oreshnik” (speed 10 Mach or about 3 kilometers per second) and the ultimatum addressed by the Russian President Vladimir Putin not only to Ukraine, but also to its Western bosses, who officially authorized the use of ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles on Russian territory. The Yuzhmash missile factory in Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk), which has been producing missile equipment since the Soviet era, was hit. Shortly before the strike, Moscow warned Washington about the launch to avoid accidentally starting a nuclear war. From the media perspective, this case was out of the ordinary, and Western politicians, as well as the public, reacted violently to it. The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, said a short time later that the strike with the Oreshnik missile was not provoked by any reason and that the Ukrainian armed forces have been using long-range weapons to strike Russia for a long time. “This ballistic missile strike against Ukraine today is further proof that Russia definitely doesnt want peace. Putin is lying when he says that Ukraines alleged use of long-range weapons was some sort of new thing were doing. This is not the first time we have applied those arms. And we have every right to do so with respect to the norms of international law.” Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian politician. To be more specific, the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile is aimed at delivering nuclear strikes but in yesterday’s attack the multiple independently targeted reentry vehicles were equipped with hard steel plugs. The published footage from Dnipro (Dnepropetrovsk) shows the kinetic effect of using such ammunition. It is possible that the missile was fitted with an Avangard-R hypersonic glider. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Oreshnik-striking-the-Yuzhmash.mp4Download video Footage of the Russian intercontinental ballistic missile Oreshnik striking the Yuzhmash defense plant in Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk) https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Dnepropetrovsk.mp4Download video Another footage of the Russian intercontinental ballistic missile Oreshnik striking the Yuzhmash defense plant in Dnepr (Dnepropetrovsk) https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/hypersonic-Oreshnik.mp4Download video Footage of the hypersonic Oreshnik missiles presumed flight during testing Heavy fighting is ongoing in the Kursk Region.

Three Ukrainian servicemen were captured. The total number of the POVs is currently 475. Two Ukrainian counterattacks with armored vehicles were repulsed: in Novoivanovka and near Daryino. During the day, the Ukrainian armed forces lost 150 servicemen, at least four vehicles, an artillery piece, and two mortars. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/destroys-Ukrainian-ammunition-dump.mp4Download video Russian FPV drone destroys Ukrainian ammunition dump in the Kursk Region It worth mentioning that the Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov held a working meeting at the command and control center of the Russian Sever (North) Group of Forces, where he heard reports from the commanders concerning the current situation on the frontline, the material support for the troops in the special military operation area, and the character of enemy actions. In the Kharkiv (Lyptsi) direction, another Ukrainian armed forces attack was repelled, the Ukrainians lost personnel and armored vehicles, with no success. Fighting is still going on in the Volchansk town, near the panel houses area. In the woods near Lyptsi the Ukrainian Army conducted an attack by two assault groups comprising up to 12 men on 2 armored personnel carriers. As a result of rifle combat and FPV drone strikes, the attacks were repulsed and both Ukrainian assault groups were completely destroyed. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Kharkiv-Region-by-FPV-drones.mp4Download video Striking the Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the Kharkiv Region by FPV drones of the Russian Zapad (West) Group of Forces https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/FPV-drone-destroys-vehicle-with-Ukrainian-personnel.mp4Download video Russian FPV drone destroys vehicle with Ukrainian personnel in the Kharkiv Region The Russian Armed Forces have seized the settlement of Kopanki in the Kharkiv Region.

From the side of Razdolnoye, Russian forces are threatening to cut off Ukrainian troops in Velyka (Bolshaya) Novoselka from the main road to the north (Bogatyr settlement). According to unconfirmed reports, this road is now under the fire control of the Russian side.

From the media perspective, this case was out of the ordinary, and Western politicians, as well as the public, reacted violently to it. Against this background, Russian forces continue their successful advance in three areas near the Kurakhove (Donetsk Region), isolating the Ukrainian garrison in the city from three directions at once and increasingly tightening the encirclement ring. The Ukrainian sides efforts to organize mine barriers separating the eastern and central parts of the city have not yielded any results. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/M113-armored-personnel-carrier.mp4Download video A Russian artillery brigade successfully detected an M113 armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian armed forces near the city of Kurakhove.

— Yemen’s Houthis Launched Hypersonic Missile At Key Israeli Air Base: at 11/22/24 6:46am
Illustrative image. (The Houthis Military Media) The Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen on November 22 claimed responsibility for a missile attack that targeted Israel a day earlier, saying that the operation was carried out in support of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. A Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile was launched during the attack at Nevatim Air Base in southern Israel, Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sarea said in a statement, noting that the operation had successfully achieved its goal. The Yemeni Armed Forces, in response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and Lebanon, will continue their military operations, and these operations will not stop unless the aggression and siege on the Gaza Strip and the war on Lebanon are over, the spokesman added. Hypersonic missiles travel and maneuver at least five times faster than the speed of sound at low altitudes in the atmosphere which makes them extremely difficult to track and intercept. The Palestine-2 is a two-stage solid fuel missile that was first unveiled and used by the Houthis in an attack against Israel in mid-September. The group claims that the missile has a range of over 2,150 kilometers and a top speed equivalent to 16 times the speed of sound. Late on November 21, the Israeli Defense Forces said that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen was successfully intercepted by its air defenses. According to the military, the missile was shot down outside of Israel’s airspace. Still, warning sirens were sounded in the Dead Sea area as a precaution amid fears of falling shrapnel. Loud blasts were also reported in the region. The target of the missile attack, Nevatim Air Base, is home to the Israeli Air Force’s most advanced aircraft, including C-130J military transport planes, Boeing 707 and KC-130H refueling planes, GV Shavit and G550 Eitam/Oron early warning and intelligence planes, F-35I fighter jets and even the Boeing 767-338ER Wing of Zion plane used by senior officials. The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have attacked dozens of vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea since November of last year. In addition, the group launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least 12 American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters. The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched two waves of strikes against civilian infrastructure in the western Yemeni province of al-Hodeidah in July and September. However, the Houthis remain deterred. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

Separately, the ministry released videos showing recent drone strikes that targeted equipment of Kiev forces, including an American-made M1A1 SA Abrams main battle tank and a German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000 self-propelled howitzer. Kiev forces launched a surprise attack from Sumy into Kursk last August. The Russian military is currently conducting a counter-attack to clear the region. According to the Russian MoD, since the start of the battle in Kursk Kiev forces have lost 34,690 troops, 215 tanks, 147 infantry fighting vehicles, 120 armored personnel carriers, 1,190 armored fighting vehicles, 992 motor vehicles, 297 artillery guns, 40 launchers, including 11 American-made HIMARS and six MLRS systems, 13 air defense systems, seven transport-loading vehicles, 68 electronic warfare stations, 13 counter-battery radars, four aerial radars, 27 engineering vehicles, including 13 counter obstacle vehicles, one UR-77 mine clearing vehicle, six armored recovery vehicle, and one command post vehicle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Iraqi Drone Hit Negev Desert Amid Israeli Threats (Video): at 11/22/24 3:29am
Illustrative image. Late on November 21, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq (IRI), an umbrella group of Iran-backed armed factions, announced that it had carried out a drone attack against a “military target” in southern Israel. The attack was carried out “in response to the massacres committed by the usurping entity [Israel] against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly” in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the group said in a statement, vowing that “operations against enemy strongholds will continue at an increasing pace.” The group also released a video showing the launch of what appears to be a single Iranian-made Shahed-101 suicide drone. The Shahed-101 is said to have a range of 900 kilometers and a cruising speed of 120 kilometers per hour with a warhead weighing eight kilograms. Prior to the IRI’s announcement, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced that warning sirens were activated in the Mitzpe Ramon area in the Negev desert after a suspected drone entered Israeli airspace. The military later said that the incident was over, and there were no reports of injuries. Hebrew media said that the drone might have crashed in an open area. The IDF was reportedly investigating what exactly happened. The IRI began carrying out attacks against Israel as well as against United States forces in Iraq and neighboring Syria last October in response to the Israeli all-out war on Gaza. The group escalated its attacks against Israel in September in response to Israel’s ongoing aerial campaign and ground operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Earlier this week, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called on the United Nations Security Council to pressure Baghdad to end attacks by Iran-backed factions, warning that Israel has the right to defend itself under the UN Charter. Later, Arab media reported that the U.S. had informed Baghdad that Israeli strikes against Iraq were “imminent,” unless the Iraqi government manages to prevent Iran-backed factions from launching attacks against Israel.

— In Video: Hezbollah Hit Israeli Bases With Guided Missiles, Suicide Drones: at 11/22/24 2:33am
Illustrative image. Hezbollah’s Military Media released between November 13 and 20 several videos documenting some of the group’s recent attacks on Israel. The attacks seen in the videos targeted several key bases in northern and central Israel, including Shraga, Stella Maris, Tirat al-Karmel, Tel Haim, Beit Lid, Elyakim, and HaKirya, in addition to gatherings of Israeli forces in the southern Lebanese towns of Markaba, Maroun al-Ras, and Bint Jbeil, as well as along the border in the sites of Marj, Jal al-Deir, and Yiftach. The attacks were carried out using a variety of weapons, including heavy artillery rockets, precision-guided ballistic missiles, and suicide drones. Another video released by the group showed an Israeli Hermes 450 combat drone being shot down with an anti-aircraft missile. The clashes on the Lebanese-Israeli border first broke out after the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, with Hezbollah launching attacks in support of the Palestinian enclave. Israel escalated its attacks on Lebanon starting from September 17 and on September 27 it assassinated the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nassrallah. The IDF escalated further on September 30 by launching a limited ground operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. All in all, the confrontation has so far resulted in 44 civilian deaths in Israel and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights as well as the deaths of at least 74 soldiers and security officers. On the Lebanese side, more than 3,500 people have been killed, including more than 500 members of Hezbollah. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Israeli Army Abducts Man From Southern Syria: at 11/22/24 1:47am
File image. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on November 21 that it had detained a Syrian man who crossed into the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. In a statement, the military said that the suspect individual “did not stop in response to calls by soldiers, was shot in the leg and transferred to Ziv Medical Center in Safed for further treatment and investigation.” The Israeli Ynet news website reported that the suspect crossed the Alpha Line, which marks the demilitarized zone in the Golan Heights. He did not however breach the Israeli security fence in the area. The man was identified by Syrian activists as Mahmoud Hilal al-Fneish, a shepherd from the town of al-Rafeed in the countryside of the southern governorate of al-Qunitra. The activists said that the man crossed into the occupied part of the Golan Heights by mistake. Al-Rafeed is located right on the Alpha Line. The IDF increased its presence on the Golan front and began building a barrier there after the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip last year. In recent months, there were several reports of Israeli infiltrations into southern Syria. The IDF itself revealed earlier this month that its troops detained a man suspected of spying for Iran during a raid in the southern governorate of Daraa. The raid was carried out by members of the Egoz commando unit along with field interrogators of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504. The man, Ali Soleiman al-Assi from the town of Saida in the western countryside of Daraa, was tasked by Iran with “gathering intelligence on IDF troops in the border area for future terror activity of the network,” the military claimed at the time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Israel Intercepts Another Ballistic Missile From Yemen (Videos): at 11/21/24 11:21pm
Illustrative image. (The Israeli Defense Forces) Late on November 21, the Israeli Defense Forces said that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen was successfully intercepted by its air defenses. According to the military, the missile was shot down outside of Israel’s borders. Warning sirens had sounded in the Dead Sea area as a precaution and amid fears of falling shrapnel. Loud blasts were reported. However, no impacts or casualties were reported after the alleged interception. The Iran-backed Houthis (Ansar Allah) were likely behind the missile attack. The group carried out a similar attack just two weeks earlier. The missile attack came just hours after Yemeni media reported that another MQ-9 Reaper combat drone of the United States military was shot down by Houthi air defenses over the northern Yemeni province of Saada. If confirmed, this would be the 13th such drone to be taken down by the group since the start of its military campaign against Israel and its allies in response to the war on the Gaza Strip. Since November, the Houthis have attacked over 200 vessels affiliated with Israel or owned by the U.S. and the United Kingdom in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The group also launched dozens of drones and missiles at Israel and shot down at least 12 American-made combat drones over Yemen and nearby waters. The U.S. and the UK have carried out hundreds of strikes against Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since January. Israel also launched two waves of strikes against civilian infrastructure in al-Hodeidah in July and September. However, this campaign has failed to deter the Houthis or degrade their military capabilities. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Death Toll From Israeli Strikes On Syria’s Palmyra Reached 82: War Monitor: at 11/21/24 10:51pm
Illustrative image. (The Israeli Defense Forces) The death toll from the November 20 Israeli strikes on the city of Palmyra in central Syria has reached 82, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR). The strikes hit several buildings in the city and its outskirts, including in a nearby industrial zone and close to the ancient ruins. In a report released late on November 21, the SOHR said that the strikes killed 56 Syrian troops and pro-government fighters, including eight officers and warrant officers, as well as 22 foreign fighters, mostly from the Iraqi Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, and four members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah. At least 31 other people were wounded by the strikes, including seven civilians, according to the London-based monitoring group. The Syrian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack and a United Nations representative said that this was “likely the deadliest Israeli strike in Syria to date.” “Once again Israeli airstrikes on Syria have increased significantly, both in frequency and scope,” Najat Rochdi, UN deputy special envoy to Syria, told the Security Council. “Just yesterday, we saw dozens killed in a strike near Palmyra –- likely the deadliest Israeli strike in Syria to date.” According to the SOHR, the main target of the strikes was a joint meeting between Syrian pro-government forces, al-Nujaba and Hezbollah. The pro-opposition monitoring group, run by a single person, has regularly been accused by Syrian war analysts of false reporting and inflating casualty numbers as well as inventing them wholesale. The official death toll from the strikes on Palmyra remains at 36. Forces backed by Iran like al-Nujaba and Hezbollah do maintain some presence in Palmyra and other parts of central Syria, but only to counter ISIS remnants in the region. Israel escalated its attacks on Syria after the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip in October of last year, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance. After expanding operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon in September, the Israeli military said that it will work to stop the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border. Syria, exhausted by over a decade of war, has so far refrained from responding to Israeli attacks, likely to avoid a dangerous confrontation. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Neo-Nazi Junta’s Military – NATO’s Tool Of Genocide Against Ukrainians: at 11/21/24 2:19pm
Click to see the full-size image Written by Drago Bosnic, independent geopolitical and military analyst Various Western intelligence assets have been present in what today is Ukraine for centuries. For instance, the Habsburg monarchy invested massive resources in creating an extremely Russophobic Ukrainian identity that would be separate from the greater Russian ethnos (includes modern-day ethnic Russians, Belarussians and Ukrainians). As the Habsburgs controlled Galicia (a region situated in the far western part of Ukraine), the influence of this nation-building process (to use the CIAs current term) was largely limited to that area. However, during and after two world wars, the remains of the Habsburg project were still there, first picked up by Nazi German intelligence and then the CIA. The infamous US intelligence agency worked closely with the insurgents of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and other like-minded organizations. They were tasked with carrying out acts of sabotage in western parts of the Soviet Union. The OUN, led by the likes of Stepan Bandera and Yaroslav Stetsko was a Nazi organization infamous for its extreme anti-Semitism, Polonophobia (hatred of Poles) and Russophobia. It collaborated closely with the invading Nazi German forces and actively took part in the massacres of Poles, Jews and Russians in Nazi-occupied Ukraine. The end of WWII and its aftermath saw their role become more clandestine. First, Nazi Germany trained the OUN and its allies to conduct behind-enemy-lines operations against the advancing Red Army. After Germanys defeat, these forces continued their terrorist activities with the support of the CIA which essentially just recycled the Nazi German network in western Ukraine (PDF) and also provided weapons and training for the insurgents. Moreover, the infamous spy agency liked it so much that it went on to implement it in the form of various Gladio operations all across Europe. Declassified intelligence shows that the CIA even protected Stepan Bandera so he could coordinate and ensure the survival of the Nazi movement in Soviet Ukraine. The CIA operation to accomplish this was codenamed PBCRUET-AERODYNAMIC, based on the now-declassified document dated June 17, 1950. After the KGB and the Soviet military defeated the Nazi insurgents by the mid-1950s, the surviving members went dormant for the remainder of the (First) Cold War. However, during the last days of the USSR and the immediate aftermath of its dismantlement, these groups were reactivated, only this time as political parties and organizations. By 2014, most of them were already quite militant, helping pave the way for the NATO-orchestrated Maidan coup which brought the Neo-Nazi junta to power. The paramilitary wings of these organizations and political parties were then directly incorporated into the Ukrainian military, forming the infamous Azov Battalion and many other similar groups. Expectedly, this caused a strong reaction in ethnically Russian regions in eastern and southern Ukraine (particularly the Donbass). As planned, the conflict went kinetic, so the Pentagon and NATO took over the task of training and arming these Nazi groups. However, the CIA and other US intelligence services never stopped working with them. This formed the core of the new Kiev regimes political and military elite that has been managing NATO-occupied Ukraine for over a decade at this point. Obviously, the political West planned all this and expected Russia to react the way it did, as the direct descendants of actual Nazis from western Ukraine continued in the footsteps of their forebears (infamous for serving as guards in death camps, various German-led Einsatzgruppen and similar SS units that killed tens of millions of civilians across Eastern Europe). Now, what could one possibly expect from such people? Ethnic Russians and pro-Russian Ukrainians understood this and rose up, just like their forefathers did back in WWII. The Neo-Nazi elite realized it would need to finish the job of eradicating all opposition. And whats the best way to conduct a crawling genocide? This is where we get to the military part of the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict. As the Kiev regime is essentially a foreign-backed (and controlled) anti-Ukrainian entity, it has no qualms about sending millions of regular Ukrainians into an unwinnable war with the neighboring military superpower. Only someone with a burning, pathological hatred for the Ukrainian people would keep prolonging a war that has already taken the lives of around 750,000 Ukrainians. Whats more, thanks to the political Wests morally monstrous nature and endless hypocrisy, all this is being presented as pro-Ukrainian and even as so-called aid for the people of Ukraine. According to various Russian sources, back in October, EU/NATO military advisers conducted a survey among top-ranking Neo-Nazi junta officers. Special attention was given to their attitude toward the possibility of a ceasefire. The survey reportedly concluded that the Kiev regimes military leadership is adamantly against it. For them, continuing the war is the best possible outcome. Obviously, since theyre not the ones sent to die in the trenches, their motivation remains strong and varies from money-grubbing schemes (embezzlement, arms smuggling, fraud, etc) to unadulterated (self-)hatred for all things Russian. Expectedly, regular Ukrainians are not too keen (to put it mildly) on fighting for such a military force. Figures vary significantly, but local sources estimate that the number of deserters is in the hundreds of thousands. According to Ukrainian journalist Volodymyr Boiko, at least 100,000 people have fled from the Neo-Nazi junta forces, while the actual number could exceed 200,000. When it comes to the number of irrecoverable losses (killed, severely wounded, captured, missing, etc), this figure goes up to a staggering 50,000 per month. Unsurprisingly, these horrifying statistics are also used by the Kiev regimes high command to embezzle more funds. Namely, soldiers who were killed in action are often left to decompose on the battlefield, as the Neo-Nazi junta is not required to pay anything to their families. This is precisely why there are hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian conscripts who are still labeled as missing in action (MIA), even though theyre not on any other list (WIAs, POWs, deserters, etc). Thus, not only does the Kiev regimes high command get to kill Untermenschen Ukrainians, but it also takes loads of cash while doing so. And as if that wasnt enough of a motivation, the Neo-Nazi junta can also report lower casualties than is actually the case, as MIAs are still counted separately from KIAs. Interestingly, surveys also show that the Kiev regimes high command has a very low opinion of NATOs training and combat effectiveness. They are confident that their experience in conducting military operations against Russia makes them invaluable to the political West and that they can use this, from their point of view, unique knowledge to get further concessions from NATO, which is already preparing for a high-intensity war with Russia. Many of the high-ranking Neo-Nazi junta henchmen have already moved their families and financial assets to Europe and elsewhere, just waiting for the perfect moment to simply bail out when the ship finally starts sinking. However, although they have no illusions about the actual situation on the battlefield (much unlike the political Wests mainstream propaganda machine), the Kiev regimes military elite wants to keep misinforming everyone, as peace is simply not in their interest. They see NATO-occupied Ukraine and its people as a resource for exploitation, just like their Nazi forebears did. Any sort of peaceful settlement would not only cut the cash flow, but would also uncover the sheer magnitude of the atrocities theyre committing against the Ukrainian people, also forcing them to be held accountable for years of lies and deceit. Thus, only Russias complete victory can bring about an end to NATOs brutal exploitation of Ukraine.

— Serbian Filmmaker Reports On The Reality Of Orthodox Christians In Ukraine: at 11/21/24 2:07pm
Click to see the full-size image Written by Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Association, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, geopolitical consultant The tragic situation of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine is beginning to gain the attention of many people around the world. Not only are activists condemning the serious crimes committed by the Kiev regime, but also artists, journalists and filmmakers are joining efforts to expose the truth about religious persecution in today’s Ukraine. Recently, the famous Serbian filmmaker Emir Kusturica released the film People of Christ, exposing the reality of anti-Christian policies in Ukraine. The film shows the personal stories of various Orthodox Christians in Ukraine, including priests, missionaries, monks and ordinary believers, who inform on the persecution they are currently suffered. As an Orthodox Christian himself, Kusturica showed feelings of strong compassion for his fellow believers in Ukraine. He stated that Ukraine had joined a war waged by the West against Orthodoxy and emphasized how the traditional Christian religion is a common tie among Slavic peoples, also commenting on how this faith is strong in Serbia a country historically targeted with attacks and sanctions by the West. Furthermore, the producer also said that, in addition to conventional measures, the West also tries to attack the religious sentiments of the Slavs through soft power, imposing an anti-traditional cultural agenda that, despite the support of some Westernized politicians and local saboteurs, is not accepted by the majority of the people. “This film… it is about God and man. The soul of Ukraine today is wounded, the Ukrainian government persecutes Christ Himself () Ukrainians have been sold a war [by the West] they bought it. [For them] Orthodoxy is the number one enemy in the world () In Serbia, it seems to me, no matter how much Western politicians… try to kill God in us, with the help of the so-called soft power, which after the broadcasting of the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris has sharply manifested itself – it is impossible,” he said. The film has received many positive reviews from both film critics and experts on Ukrainian affairs, who emphasize how Kusturicas work is truly in line with the reality of the country. For example, American political analyst Oliver Martin, a columnist for the channel Ukraine Policy Matters wrote a review of the film, emphasizing how it provides a deeply emotional experience based on facts about Ukraine’s situation. According to Oliver, the film allows spectators to reflect on the intense impact of religious persecution, going beyond the Ukrainian case. The analyst explains that People of Christ brings interesting facts to investigate how a people united by common feelings of faith react to the imposition of an unpopular political and cultural agenda, with religion being a vital force in maintaining the unity of citizens in times of war and oppression. It’s heartbreaking to see how a government can wield its power to suppress a segment of its own population based on perceived loyalties. This creates an environment where believers are not only divided but also marginalized, forcing them to navigate their faith in a climate of fear and uncertainty. The film’s exploration of faith under duress made me acutely aware of the broader implications of such persecution. It raises questions about what it means to be united in faith when one’s government actively seeks to divide its people. The message that resonated with me is that faith should be a source of strength and unity, not division and conflict, he said in his article about the film. As the film becomes more popular, it is likely that it will be subject to further assessment, both from experts recommending it and from Western and Ukrainian propagandists trying to discredit it. In fact, there are less and less arguments for the Kiev regime to maintain its intolerant stance towards the Orthodox religion. Even Ukrainian politicians who defended the regime have been forced to abandon their posts and flee the country in order to continue practicing their faith. The situation is reaching an intolerable level that is likely to have many deep social impacts. Religion is not a mere individual matter, but a historical and social reality that cannot be changed so easily. Religious beliefs and sentiments remain in people for generations, regardless of what the government does against them. The mentality of the entire Ukrainian people is rooted in traditional Orthodox concepts, so the violence carried out by the regime against clergy and believers will certainly be met with strong popular disapproval. By persecuting the faith of 80% of its people, the neo-Nazi regime is simply accelerating its own collapse, inducing more and more citizens to a dissident stance and also losing part of its international support.

— France, Germany Failed To Pressure Brazil To Change Joint Statement On Ukraine At G20: at 11/21/24 1:51pm
Click to see the full-size image Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Representatives of European countries at the G20 summit were dissatisfied with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s decision to end discussions on the conflict in Ukraine early during the G20, held in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19, and publish the final statement a day earlier than planned has outraged many leaders of European Union countries. A large part of the outrage is that the collective pressure of France and Germany, the two most powerful countries of the EU, failed to make Lula submit to their demands. “European delegates at the G20 summit in Brazil were unhappy with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s decision to end talks and issue the group’s final statement a day early to curtail prickly discussion on the war in Ukraine,” Reuters reported, citing sources. According to the agency’s sources, the final statement is usually published at the end of the summit. However, Lula approved the text during the plenary session on November 18, while leaders from France, Germany and the United States were absent. Brazilian diplomats present at the talks told Reuters that the hasty approval of the joint statement was motivated by the risk that, at the end of the meeting, the countries would not be able to reach a consensus on the declaration’s text, as happened at the meeting in India last year. The day before, European media also reported that several countries in the region wanted the final declaration of the G20 summit to contain stronger terms regarding the conflict in Ukraine but backed away for fear that this could prevent the adoption of a joint document. After intense negotiations, the final statement was agreed upon on the morning of November 17. However, later in the day, France and Germany began to pressure Brazil to reopen the text following major Russian air strikes on Ukraine, but Latin America’s biggest country refused. “The communique was closed by President Lula. It fell short of the position we could have had,” French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters, adding that the text would have benefited from being more explicit on the war. French diplomats could have asked the next day to delay approval of the text until Macron was in the room, but did not, to the relief of the Brazilians. “To reopen the text would have jeopardized the entire effort of a week of negotiations,” a Brazilian official told Reuters. In the midst of the summit, Ukraine’s ambassador to Brazil, Andrii Melnyk, complained to the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo that Brazil had lost its last chance to become a mediator in resolving the Ukrainian conflict due to the lack of attention given to the issue during the G20. “We thought that maybe some signal could come, not only from the G7 countries, because we are on the same page with them, but also from the G20. But they decided not to do that,” said Melnyk. “This could have been an opportunity to use the G20 presidency to also send some impulses for peace. They could have been insufficient or unsuccessful, but at least there would have been an attempt, which did not happen. Brazil missed that chance, and I dont know when the next opportunity will come,” the ambassador added. Notwithstanding the pressure from Europe and Ukraine’s complaints, the unanimous approval of the text by the leaders participating in the G20 Summit is considered a victory for Brazilian diplomacy since, at last year’s meeting in India, the document was not published due to a lack of consensus. In 2023, disagreements focused on issues related to the Ukrainian conflict and sanctions imposed against Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference after the summit that the West tried to “Ukrainize” the G20 agenda. However, he called the final results “positive” and said significant agreements were reached during the meetings. “The West, of course, tried to Ukrainize the entire agenda [of the summit], but it failed. None of the countries of the world majority, of the global south, supported it,” Lavrov revealed. Brazil has consistently worked towards peace, resulting in strained relations with Kiev, which is seeking to continue the war. It is recalled that China and Brazil in the summer unveiled a plan to get Russia and Ukraine back to the negotiating table, which the Kiev regime rejected as it did not require Russia to pull back its troops. Nonetheless, despite the failure of the joint Chinese initiative, this has not deterred Brazil from its peace mission, and as evidently seen, to achieve peace, Lula will not submit to any Western pressure.

ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGE Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed the details of todays attack in the city of (Dnipro) Dnepropetrovsk. LINK He confirmed that the Russian military used its medium-range ballistic missile. It turned out to be the latest Oreshnik nuclear capable missile system. On November 21, the Russian Armed Forces struck the Yuzhmash plant with Oreshnik (hazel) ballistic missile in its nuclear-free hypersonic mode. The target was successfully struck. Russian attack was a response to U.S. plans to produce intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles at the targeted industrial facility in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin clarified that Russia has successfully tested a new medium–range missile Oreshnik in combat conditions. No missile defense systems, including US systems deployed in Europe, are able to intercept such Russian missiles as the Oreshnik, which attack targets at a speed of 2-3 km per second. Russia promised to warn civilians in advance in the event of the use of such systems. The development of the Oreshnik missile was conducted in the strictest confidence. There are almost no information about this system in open sources. It is clear that it is capable of carrying both a high-explosive cluster charge and a nuclear one. It reportedly has a range of about 6,000 km and has 6 or 8 combat units with separable warheads, each of them is capable of carrying a charge of hundreds of kilotons. This is more than a hundred times more than the total charge dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The MSM are already reporting that the Russian military allegedly has only several such experimental missiles. This is the usual tactics of Ukrainian propaganda stolen by the Western MSM. On November 19, the enemy struck with 6 ATACMS tactical missiles , as well as a combined strike on November 20 with Storm Shadow and HIMARS missiles at facilities in the Kursk and Bryansk regions. The targets of the strike were not achieved, but there are dead and wounded. The use of such weapons by the enemy cannot change the course of the conflict. Vladimir Putin claimed that after the latest attacks by Kiev, after Western long-range weapons targeted Russian territory the conflict took on a global character. Russia considers itself entitled to use its weapons against those countries that allow their weapons to be used to attack Russian territory. Russia will respond decisively and in a mirror manner to the escalation. Russia prefers peaceful means, but is also ready for any development of events, the president added. Vladimir Putin concluded that the deployment of medium and short range missile systems would depend on the actions of the West. If the United States starts deploying them, then Russia will respond.

— Russian Army Surrounds Ukrainian Citadel In Chasov Yar: at 11/21/24 10:57am
Illustrative Image Recently, the Russian army has achieved significant success on various fronts, the city of Chasov Yar was no exception. Various units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are storming the city, including forces of the 200th Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the 98th Airborne Division, the 1st Volunteer Corps of the Armed Forces as part of the Vostok brigade, the 88th Reconnaissance and Sabotage Brigade Espanola and others. They are advancing both on the streets of the city and destroy Ukrainian positions on its outskirts. The local garrison of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reinforced by the forces of the Foreign Legion, attempts to resist in the city. In recent days, the Russian fighters have managed to significantly expand their zone of control in the center of Chasov Yar. Almost the entire Oktyabrsky district of private houses and the stadium came under Russian control. Some administrative buildings were also reportedly captured, which ensures their control of the key areas in the center to continue further attacks on the nearest urban infrastructure. Heavy battles are ongoing on the territory of the refractory plant, which has been turned into a Ukrainian stronghold. The industrial zone is a fortified area with numerous engineering structures, which makes it an important fortress and a stronghold to assure the further Russian offensive. The Russians are storming the plant from the eastern, northern and western directions. Click to see full-size image At the same time, Russian forces achieved new gains on the northern outskirts of the city. After the mop up operations in Kalinovka, the forest area near Chasov Yar came under their full control. This allowed them to launch an assault on the plant from the west, as well as start battles in the area of the railway junction. Despite the rapid Russian advance, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to maintain control over the multi-storey apartment buildings in the city center, from which Russian positions are being fired on. In their basements near the stadium, for a long time, there were bases of elite units of the Ukrainian army, who have now fled the city. document.createElement('video'); https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/chasov_yar-3.mp4Download video The Ukrainian military command relies on the defense of the central microdistrict in Chasov Yar, called the Citadel. There were also the headquarters of the AFU command during the so-called Kievs anti-terrorist operation in Donbass located for years. The Ukrainian military expects that the ruins of the refractory plant and their fortified basements will become an obstacle to stop Russian offensive. On the other hand, the plan of the Russian side is also clear, which aims to surround and besiege the Citadel. From the south, it is surrounded by paratroopers of the 98th Airborne Division. Advancing on the northern flank, the fighters of the 200th separate motorized rifle brigade and the 1st Volunteer Corps of the Russian Armed Forces have already taken fire control over the supply routes of the Ukrainian group. The Russian military uses the tactics of advancing in small infantry groups, which has already proven its effectiveness in combat and brings results in Chasov Yar. It was well-equipped small mobile groups that took control of most of the city. This strategy does not allow them to develop their offensive quickly, but assures the effective destruction of the enemys defenses. https://s5.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/chasov_yar-2.mp4Download video The Ukrainian garrison is weakened, but retains reserves and attempts to counterattack. The main line of Ukrainian defense in the city, which ran along the Kanal, has already been breached by Russian forces. The recently destroyed Ukrainian defense in the north-east of the city forces the Ukrainian military to transfer reserves from neighboring areas, weakening them as well. Russian control of the refractory plant and the consolidation of Ukrainian forces in the central part of the city make the complete liberation of Chasov Yar possible in foreseeable future. As in the case of other Ukrainian fortresses, the Ukrainian Citadel in Chasov Yar is doomed to defeat. In case of its encirclement, the Ukrainian garrison will be forced to either retreat or sacrifice itself. The Ukrainian military command usually does not alow withdrawal of its forces from cauldrons till the fall of the curtain. The loss of the Citadel by the Ukrainian army will mean the loss of the dominant height and the key stronghold in Chasov Yar and in the region as a whole. In the future, Russian units will be able to undermine Ukraines ability to hold the defense on the neighboring frontlines, including their defense in the direction of Konstantinovka.

Israel appears to be nearing a decision on a ceasefire with Lebanon as its military continues to take losses while operating against Hezbollah in the south of the country. On November 13, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that six troops from the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion were killed after being ambushed by Hezbollah fighters inside a building in a town in southern Lebanon. Lebanese media said that the town where the deadly incident took place is Bint Jbeil. The next day, November 14, a platoon commander from the 51st Battalion was mourned by the IDF. The officer was reportedly killed in a clash with Hezbollah fighters. Hezbollah fire claimed another soldier of the Golani Brigade, this time from the 13th Battalion, on November 16. The IDF said that the soldier was also killed in a clash with Hezbollah fighters from point blank range. On November 17, Israel dealt a blow to Hezbollah by assassinating Mohammad Afif, the head of its media relations. Hezbollah later admitted that four members of its media office were killed alongside Afif in an Israeli strike that targeted an office of the Baath Party in the center of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The assassination didn’t affect the morale of Hezbollah. On November 18, a drone attack by the group killed a soldier from the Golani Brigades logistics unit in southern Lebanon. November 20 was another deadly day for the IDF in southern Lebanon. The military said that a soldier from the Maglan commando unit was killed in southern Lebanon after a building collapsed on top of him. Separately, an Israeli archaeologist was killed along with a soldier from the Golani Brigade after a clash with Hezbollah fighters at the shrine of the Prophet Simon Peter near the southern Lebanese town of Chamaa. The archaeologist entered southern Lebanon with the help of the chief of staff of the Golani Brigade. He was wearing an IDF uniform and armed. The officer accompanying him was moderately wounded in the same firefight. The amounting losses in Lebanon have apparently pushed Israel closer to a ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah. United States Special Envoy Amos Hochstein stated from Beirut on November 19 that a ceasefire agreement was “within our grasp.” Despite the progress in ceasefire talks with Lebanon, both Israel and the U.S. appear to be determined to go on with the war on the Gaza Strip which caused the conflict with Hezbollah in the first place. On November 20, the U.S. singlehandedly blocked a UN resolution to end the war in Gaza, where some 44,000 Palestinians have been killed so far. This left very little doubts about Washington’s key role in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in the Strip. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence NOW hosted at southfront.press Previously, SouthFront: Analysis and Intelligence was at southfront.org.

— Kiev Plays Muscles: Ukrainian Missile Targeted Sevastopol: at 11/21/24 8:31am
Illustrative Image While sirens do not stop sounding all around Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted a missile attack on the Russian rear region. On the afternoon of November 21st, several Ukrainian missiles targeted the city of Sevastopol in the Republic of Crimea. According to preliminary reports, at least one Ukrainian missile was destroyed by the air defense forces of the Russian Federation. Presumably, it was the Ukrainian-made R-360 Neptune cruise missile, initially aimed to destroy enemy warships. The Russian Ministry of Defense is yet to provide details of the attack. There are no reports about any damage in the city of Sevastopol. Click to see full-size image The R-360 Neptune is a Ukrainian subsonic low-altitude anti-ship missile designed to destroy ships with a draught of up to 5,000 tons, as well as ground targets. The rocket was developed on the basis of the Soviet X-35 missile, in the development and production of which Ukrainian enterprises took part. This is one of the key complexes of the coastal defense of Ukraine, designed for strikes at sea and land targets. The Armed Forces of Ukraine use it in attacks on the Russian territory, including in Crimea. The main targets for Neptune missiles are positions of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. Ukrainian missile strikes on the city of Sevastopol became quite rare. The last attack on Sevastopol was reported almost a month ago on October 24th. Then, another Ukrainian missile was destroyed inflicting no damage to the city. The strike with Neptune missile today seems to a desperate attempt of the Ukrainian military to show some muscles after Ukraine came under attack of the Russian medium-range ballistic missile. LINK At the same time, the resumption of the single strikes may mark the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the NATO military to attempt another massive attack with Western cruise missiles that also targeted the peninsula before.
