Russia unable to use Kalibr missiles against Odesa because the launch ships retreated to Novorossiysk but the Kalibr missiles are still in Sevastopol.

The U.S. Just Recorded Its Highest Oil Production Month In History (13.05 Million bpd)
“The United States is on track to set a new annual oil production record in 2023.
October was the highest oil production month in U.S. history.
Oil production has been steadily rising since the Covid-19 crash, despite the Biden Administration’s green energy push.”
The rate for the last two weeks was even higher (13.2) - still growing.
The Guardian (UK) reports: (that after meeting with the Cabinet over a a Hostage release/ceasefire deal)
Israel will continue its war against Hamas even if a temporary ceasefire is reached to release hostages, the Israeli prime minister said in a televised video statement, AP reported.
“We are at war, and we will continue the war,” he said.
We will continue until we achieve all our goals.
Light snow flurries across the front today, temps drop to the teens tonight.

Day 637 of my 3 day war.
Can you believe it’s been 10 years since EU/NATO staged euromaidan? They did this by deliberately doing 2 things.
1. By being seen by Ukraine as a better option than Russia is.
2. By actually being a better option than Russia is.
Drones mass on both sides, ATACMS and GLSDBs are likely to push bases away from the front, and attrition continues to bite some particular systems (and their crews and support systems). Then come the F-16s.
What changes do you anticipate?

Russian Satanic Cannibal Pardoned and Released After Fighting in Ukraine
https://www.kyivpost.com/post/24506
“The Russian media website 76.ru broke the news on Tuesday that the self-confessed member of a Satanic sect, who had been sentenced in 2010 to 20 years in prison for murder, cannibalism and the violation of dead bodies, had been freed after completing six months of military service fighting in Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
The Russian website goes into excruciating detail about the crimes committed against four teenagers in 2008. Nikolai Ogolobyak, from the Yaroslavl region of Russia, was found guilty of the murders along with seven underage accomplices, one of whom was declared insane during the trial. The killings were carried out as part of so-called initiation rituals for the cult.
The 76.ru report details how the sect started by torturing and killing cats and dogs before resorting to murder. Four teenagers, Anna Gorokhova, Olga Pukhova, Andrei Sorokin and Varvara Kuzmina were killed in two separate attacks on consecutive nights in June 2008.
Ogolobyak was released earlier this month.”

(And) of course, the (expletive for Ukrainians) hit the place. As a result, it is reported about 25 people died and about a hundred were wounded...
Many Ukrainian news platforms and military bloggers called the Kumacheve strike revenge for a Nov. 3 Russian missile attack against elements of Ukraine’s 128th Mountain Assault Infantry Brigade that killed at least 19 soldiers and officers gathered for an awards ceremony in the Zaporizhzhia region...
Russia’s Sevastopol-based 810th Naval Infantry Brigade in February 2022 landed on Ukraine’s southern Azov Sea coast near the town of Urzuf as part of the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine from the south. The formation has been almost constantly deployed to the fighting lines in the southern and eastern sectors of the front since then, and by some accounts has seen its entire paper strength of 1,500 men replaced thrice to fill losses in the ranks.”
Progress on the security guarantee pledges made after the July NATO Summit in Vilnius
Kyiv Post reports:
“The European Union has presented a comprehensive framework for member states to provide Ukraine with long-lasting security commitments, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, Nov. 21 after learning about the document.
The proposal will be discussed by EU ambassadors this week and set for consideration by leaders next month, emphasizing longer-term military support, training for Ukrainian forces, and assistance in bolstering the nation’s defense industry.
The project would be based on the following principles:
“predictable, effective, sustainable and long-term” military support for Ukraine, mobilizing the EU defense industry;
strengthening Ukraine’s fight against cyberattacks and hybrid threats, as well as disinformation;
support in the demining of territories;
assistance in carrying out the reforms necessary for joining the European Union;
assistance to Ukraine in controlling weapons and countering their illegal trafficking;
ensuring nuclear safety;
exchange of intelligence data and satellite images.
The draft paper will also form the basis of consultations with Kyiv and the Group of Seven (G7) nations.”
