Russia is doomed.

Ukraine is doomed.

China is doomed.

The US is doomed.

Perhaps a thesaurus should be deployed into all news rooms so they may select one of the numerous synonyms for doomed before the world implodes under the weight of all this doom.

On the instructions of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak held an expanded meeting of the Presidium of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities under the President of Ukraine, which focused on the reconstruction of Kyiv region.

The event was also attended by U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker.

In total, more than 200 participants joined the meeting in person and online, including representatives of the central government, the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada and MPs, representatives of Kyiv region, including the head of the regional military administration, the acting head of the regional council, heads of district military administrations, as well as foreign ambassadors and representatives of international organizations.

Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Executive Secretary of the Presidium of the Congress Oleksiy Kuleba, who moderated the meeting, emphasized the importance of resolving problematic issues regarding the implementation of projects for the reconstruction and restoration of territorial communities in Kyiv region affected by Russian aggression.

Participants of the Congress Presidium meeting heard issues raised by representatives of local governments and residents of Kyiv region’s territorial communities.

Andriy Yermak emphasized that the reconstruction of all war-affected regions is a key element of Ukraine’s recovery. He emphasized the role of partner countries that provide our country with significant assistance in various areas.

ADDENDUM COMMENT #22

“In addition to infrastructure reconstruction, we are talking about a decisive reform of many systems, elements and “settings” in our country. In a certain way, we are talking about re-founding Ukraine according to the standards of the EU and NATO, of which we will certainly become members in the foreseeable future. This includes a market economy, security, democratic mechanisms, finding a new mix of checks and balances, the rule of law, social justice, openness to advanced ideas and practices, and much more,” said Andriy Yermak.

He emphasized that the United States plays a special role in providing defense support to Ukraine.

“Together we have held back the aggressor. And now Ukraine is successfully regaining its territory. However, we must admit that the existential threat to our country has not passed, so this time should be used to maximize its resilience. The basic element here is a close dialog on the comprehensive reconstruction of Ukraine. And we are grateful to the United States, our strategic partner, for its leadership in this process,” the Head of the Presidential Office noted.

Andriy Yermak noted that in confirmation of this leadership, on September 14 this year, President Joseph Biden appointed Penny Pritzker as the U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery. He welcomed Penny Pritzker’s participation in the meeting of the Congress Presidium.

The U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery thanked for the meeting and the important issues discussed today.

She assured of continued U.S. support for Ukrainian regions and noted that decentralization makes it possible to listen to the opinions of community residents.

“Your country’s economy is developing in the regions. This has its results. Today, I want to hear your ideas on how Ukraine can develop and how we – in particular, the international community, the private sector – can help you implement your projects,” said Penny Pritzker.

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk noted that Kyiv region, which is being discussed at today’s meeting, is the region that prevented the Russian occupiers from reaching the capital in the first days of the full-scale invasion.

“That’s why our task is to do everything to rebuild Kyiv region and other regions that have been devastated by this terrible invasion,” he emphasized.

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that the communities of Kyiv region are almost 100% prepared for the heating season, nuclear power plants are operating, and there is enough gas in storage - 15.8 billion cubic meters.

“Of course, the key is passive and active defense. In particular, in Kyiv region, we are protecting key energy facilities from drone and missile attacks,” he said.

The Prime Minister called the rebuilding of communities in Kyiv region the second challenge. The priorities include demining and restoration of residential buildings.

“The United States is also a leader in supporting us here. A special training center has been set up to train sappers – Ukraine needs more than 10,000 of them. This is our security,” he said.

According to Denys Shmyhal, 12,000 out of 28,000 residential buildings destroyed as a result of the hostilities have been restored in Kyiv region. This was done using all types of funding, including assistance from international partners.
During the online conference call, representatives of the communities of Irpin, Moshchun, Kukhary, Andriivka, Shevchenkove and Markhalivka informed the participants of the Congress Presidium meeting about the problems related to the reconstruction process. In particular, they discussed drafting design and estimate documentation for housing reconstruction, implementing a program to restore destroyed private homes, paying appropriate compensation to affected owners, and demining the territories.

The Head of the President’s Office emphasized that the new, expanded format of the Congress Presidium meeting allows any community representative to receive a comprehensive response from the authorities on the current problems of the settlement.

“Such a connection between the government and the citizen is a guarantee that we will have full information about the issues and together we will find ways to solve any problem,” said Andriy Yermak.

LOL so doomed, that they met every objective they set out with...courtesy of @ArmchairW on X:



It's D+5: Russian troops have consolidated positions on the flanks of Avdeevka in the face of AFU counterattacks and resumed attacks. It's likely at at this point we've seen the completion of Phases I (attack to isolate) and II (defeat counterattack) of the Russian battle plan.

Allow me to explain what's going on in the battle with the help of something that most mappers don't use - an elevation map. This allows us to see what the intervisibility lines are around Avdeevka - essentially the ridgelines beyond which you can see into the terrain beyond. Control of intervisibility lines allows observation and direct fire beyond them, and allows friendly forces to take cover behind them.

I've marked what are currently Russian-held positions and key IV lines in red and Ukrainian ones in blue, with Russian tactical positions in gray. Before the Russian attack went in last week, the IV lines at what are currently the Russian tactical positions were all Ukrainian-held, the Russian position in Krasnogorovka north of Avdeevka (immediately east of the marked Security Position) was probably far more tenuous than was generally believed, and Avdeevka was so secure the AFU could still supply it by rail.

Fast forward to today and reports are coming in that Avdeevka has been isolated, with the one remaining supply road - marked AFU MSR - too dangerous to use thanks to effective Russian fire. So what happened?

Well, on October 10th the Russian "114th Brigade" launched a battalion attack out of Krasnogorovka to seize SBF 1 ("support by fire") and the Security Position - this dramatic armored attack was completely successful and took both areas in a matter of hours, with Russian forces rapidly getting into direct-fire engagements with Ukrainian troops in the northern village belt and the industrial zone. This led to panic reports that those areas in turn were being stormed despite there being little evidence of Russian troops operating west of the railroad in that area. The 114th was after the high ground, not the villages. The seizure of these positions allowed Russian armor and AT teams to dominate the north half of the Western Village Belt, fire on the MSR, and begin softening up the usual AFU stronghold in the industrial zone.

Meanwhile, different Russian battalions attacked to seize SBF 2 in the south and the Assault Position - something that took longer due, I believe, to the need to clear minefields and the dense entrenchments immediately south of Avdeevka. Russian troops appear to have consolidated on SBF 2 yesterday, allowing them to dominate the south half of the village belt with fire and engage the MSR from the south as well. At that time a flurry of reports came out that the city had been cut off.

Immediate Ukrainian counterattacks appear to have done little beyond push Russian troops off the exposed face of the slag heap on the south side of SBF 1. Russian troops in turn have begun expanding their foothold around the slag heap in the last couple days.

So, right now the Russians are in a position around Avdeevka where they can move troops into combat via covered routes, and have essentially no positions that are "hanging" and exposed to enemy direct fire, while Ukrainian supplies and reinforcements will need to run a gauntlet of direct fire to get in and their entire defensive belt west of town is in full view of Russian armor.

* Just as a note, the distance between both SBF 1 and SBF 2 and the MSR is about four kilometers - a long but quite reasonable distance to engage for tank guns and antitank missiles, particularly against soft targets that can be destroyed with HE shells.

I suspect that Russian forces will now fight south to north from the Assault Position to secure the Residential Zone before making another rural push to collapse the village belt - which will necessarily see the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the fortified Industrial Zone. They may also attack the AFU-held "Redoubt" east of town to bolster their general position in the north, which is somewhat interdicted by this Ukrainian-held hill.

Their pace of progress really depends on the forces they're willing to commit - thus far only a single brigade's worth of troops appears to have actually gone into action. Contra to Ukrainian propaganda, losses have been modest compared to the results achieved - trading one or two companies to isolate an enemy brigade battle position is an excellent showing, and Russian industry stamps out enough equipment for a motor rifle regiment every week regardless.

President met with U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine’s Economic Recovery Penny Pritzker, who is on a visit to Ukraine.

The Head of State expressed gratitude to President of the United States Joseph Biden, the Congress and the American people for providing powerful defense, financial, economic and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine to counteract full-scale Russian aggression.

“Your visit is a signal of strong support. It is important for us to understand that the United States is ready to help Ukraine get through the winter and protect critical infrastructure,” the President said.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that all of Ukraine’s partners are well aware of the urgent need to strengthen our country’s air defense system to protect cities, domestic export routes and critical infrastructure.
The issue of ensuring Ukraine’s macro-financial stability in 2024 was raised.

The Head of State touched upon the topic of rebuilding our country.

“The recovery of Ukraine despite the ongoing Russian aggression is a priority, as it allows us to provide the necessary conditions for the struggle and victory of our state,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The President noted that reconstruction projects require private investment. Therefore, the Ukrainian side is counting on the active involvement of American business in long-term projects in the most promising sectors of the Ukrainian economy, such as agriculture, engineering, chemical industry, etc.

“The participation of American companies in the reconstruction of the Ukrainian energy system is of particular interest. This is especially topical on the eve of the winter period, when the aggressor is expected to intensify attacks on energy infrastructure facilities,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.

The Head of State noted that in order to attract investment, it is necessary to develop mechanisms to guarantee risks.

The issue of using frozen Russian assets as a significant source of funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine was also raised.

Who knows if it is the same guy. But notice how the US government goes out of its way to deport people who fled Germany because of its prohibition on homeschooling and in this case the government was throwing out Davydov because he used drugs.

How many of those people being allowed over the border from Mexico have used drugs?

How many of them have any real claim of the risk of torture in their home country? None.

Note that all of your arguments about anti-Semitism and Nazis in Ukraine just got destroyed by the case you posted. The court specifically found that:

The basis of Davydov’s claim is that Jews are generally persecuted in Ukraine, but he did not testify to any specific acts of persecution and the objective evidence does not support his assertion. Davydov submitted numerous articles detailing acts of vandalism against Jewish people and anti-Semitic marches. See e.g., AR 548-53, 554-56, 557-59, 560. However, as the IJ and BIA determined, those isolated events are not sufficient to establish a pattern or practice of persecution against Jews because they are not (and Davydov has not argued that they are) “systemic, pervasive, or organized"

An entire Russian trenchline surrendered today when they were overrun by Ukrainian forces near Verbove. Russian forces appear to be in bad shape, even the elite VDV is having troubles keeping cohesion.

The Russian offensive at Avdiivka already appears to have been defeated as they are not pushing as hard as they have been for the past few days.

Israel is fighting a war on two fronts in Lebano0n and Gaza, as they continue to crush terrorist groups. The Iron Beam system was used for the first time today.

I've marked what are currently Russian-held positions and key IV lines in red and Ukrainian ones in blue, with Russian tactical positions in gray.

Perhaps you copied your map from the one on the wall in St. Petersburg, but most open source maps show different lines of control. And those maps show the Russian forces in far less useful positions.

Other sources show your Russian "Security Position" to be actually controlled by Ukraine. So much for "Security"

There is a lot of fighting there, it may not be as rosy as you suggest for the Russians fighting there.

May it be so:

“The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution recognizing Russia as a dictatorship and called on member countries not to recognize Putin as a legitimate president after the end of his current presidential term in spring 2024.”

It doesn't look so pleasant for the Russians near Avdiivka.

This video from a Russian soldier shows the carnage they are suffering. All of the bodies on the ground are Russians, they have held that area for a long time.

Note that the Russian soldier states that the Ukrainians are on the slag heap. Your map shows that as Russian held, but it isn't - at least according to a Russian soldier walking along and talking about it, and showing it in his video.
