Ukraine’s drone attack came a day after Russia launched dozens of drones at Ukraine, mostly toward Kyiv. All but a couple of the Russian drones were shot down.
x "Retaliation for #Shahed in #Kyiv" is the reason for the night attack on #ruZZia, which began at 3:30 and ended at 9:20, an intelligence source says.
About 35 drones were fired at targets in #Moscow and the region, as well as in #Tula and #Smolensk pic.twitter.com/B43RgFQNrL — Aurora Borealis 🤫 (@aborealis940) November 26, 2023
Quite a large explosion at a factory in Russia.
x Explosion at the territory of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. Russian sources report a fire at a transformer substation on the plant’s territory. The plant is used for military purposes, such as the production of tank engines. The cause and
of the explosion are not yet known. pic.twitter.com/csyHbQ5P3s — Special Kherson Cat 🐈🇺🇦 (@bayraktar_1love) November 26, 2023
x 🔥Fire at the famous Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant in russia, where they produced KV-1 tanks during World War II, according to Mash.
It’s said, a transformer exploded there – because of this, there may be power outages in the city.
By the way, earlier, the U.S. Treasury imposed… pic.twitter.com/aBUyUwFzlj — Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 (@maria_drutska) November 26, 2023
Could be a careless smoker, could be sabotage.

“Caught fire” or “was set on fire”? 🔥

Holding back out of fear of escalation clearly hasn’t worked — for the U.S., Europe or Israel. It isn’t stopping Iran from upping the ante and becoming Russia’s chief arms supplier.
x The U.S. fears #Iran is preparing to provide #Russia with its Ababil and Fateh-110 advanced short-range ballistic missiles for its military campaign in #Ukraine

If Ukraine could figure out a way to strike Kaliningrad, it would have little military value but it would demonstrate that Russia can be hit anywhere, which would have great political value. The Doolittle Raid against Japan in WWII had little military value but it showed Japan that it was not immune to attack.
Ukraine would have to launch from the Baltic Sea since a land-based attack would have to cross Poland and/or Lithuania.
x Russia's relocation of air defense systems from Kaliningrad to Ukraine amid S-400 system losses underscores regional security challenges and operational strain, as per UK intelligence.

Russian soldiers having fun with grenades. The date of this video is unknown.
x "Putin's war only" would make sense to me if I didn't know it's not true, as a majority of russians support putin's actions.
Here you can see russians throwing grenades for amusement in temporarily occupied territories. They likely presume Ukrainians, including children, women,…

This Russian soldier walks along by himself like a zombie, doesn’t even flinch when a grenade lands near him. Either a serious case of PTSD or he’s so high he can barely stand.

x #Ukraine's army showed how drones helped them find a store of the enemy's anti-tank mines.
The camouflage didn't work and they successfully hit the impromptu 'depot' somewhere in the occupied south of the country. pic.twitter.com/iz5fF6zz1W — Tim White (@TWMCLtd) November 26, 2023
Six down, a lot more to go.
x In #Mariupol a pro-#Russia Telegram channel reports saboteurs have killed SIX 🇷🇺officers in the city in a few days.
2 said to be shot on the street, 4 more found on a beach. Beside the corpses was a portrait of Putin with "leave" written in the blood of one victim.

But other than that, how’s the war going for you?
x 1/ Relatives of mobilised Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine say their men call themselves slave warriors: they are exhausted, depressed, serving with serious diseases or injuries, equipped at their own expense, commanded by drunkards and sent to die in "meat assaults". ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/oB9KNWunJt — ChrisO_wiki (@ChrisO_wiki) November 26, 2023
Some Russian has seen Inglorious Bastards too many times.
x This is inhuman. russians cut a nazi symbol on the Ukrainian POW's forehead. Now doctors are working to remove that horrible scar. This is a daily reminder that russian occupation & captivity are not peace. Arm Ukrainian victory! A speedy recovery to our Hero

Philip Van Bethem from Global Outreach Doctors discusses training combat medics. He says that the war in Ukraine differs from Iraq and Syria in that there are many head injuries from the constant Russian shelling. he also says that Ukraine has already won the war because the common cause of fighting the invasion has brought Ukrainians together and forged a new national identity.

A big snowstorm has hit the Odesa area. Reni is located where the borders of Ukraine, Romania and Moldova meet.
x There are 9-meter waves around Crimea right now. It is said to be the strongest storm in the Black Sea in the last 100 years.
This makes me wonder what’s going to happen to Russian coastal fortifications 🤔 pic.twitter.com/ZRevpUE3Pi — Saint Javelin (@saintjavelin) November 26, 2023
Rest in peace.

Rest in pieces. Should have stayed home.
x Serbian “Larper” came to fight with russians against Ukrainians in Avdiivka.
He just got killed a few days ago, what a senseless and stupid death. He could have stayed home!
Btw, Larper is his real callsign lol

She lost two sons to a pointless war. And who else has a hard time believing that a Russian lieutenant colonel was personally evacuating wounded troops? Possible, but against type for a Russian officer.
x Putin and Russia is better than two living sons... The mother of two brothers — Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Yurkevsky and Senior Lieutenant Ivan Yurkevsky, probably believes that her sons heroically died in Ukraine fighting Nazism and NATO, which wants to destroy Russia.
