Ukrainian authorities reported waves of Russian airstrikes across the country Tuesday, from east to west, including attacks in Kyiv that struck residential buildings and, elsewhere, attacks on energy facilities that knocked out power. The barrage of strikes came as air raid alerts were issued across Ukraine. They followed what have been days of euphoria in Ukraine after one of its biggest military successes so far of the nearly nine-month Russian invasion — the retaking last week of the southern city of Kherson.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky compared his country retaking the regional capital of Kherson to D-Day, the start of the Allies regaining captured territory from the Nazis during World War II, saying it could be a turning point in the war with Russia. Zelensky said in an address to the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Indonesia on Tuesday that the Ukrainian operation to liberate Kherson is reminiscent of many other battles in the past that were turning points in armed conflicts. “Those battles symbolized such changes, after which people already knew who will be victorious even though the ultimate victory...

A Russian court has charged Timofey Yefremov, deputy editor-in-chief of the news site Yakutia.info, with “discrediting the Russian army” for a comment he made in an interview with the television channel Dozhd about women in Yakutsk who protested against the war in Ukraine on September 25. The court ruled that Yefremov “discredited” the army when he said the phrase “You won’t send a woman to the front.” According to the official ruling, a “front” can only exist in a war, and because Russia is conducting a “special military operation” rather than war, Yefremov should have used the term “line of...

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday that Ukraine has put forward “unrealistic and inadequate” terms for future peace talks. Lavrov said he spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron at the G20 summit in Bali, where he reiterated accusations that Kyiv “categorically refuses” negotiations with Moscow. “I reminded him that all the problems are on the Ukrainian side, which categorically refuses any negotiations and puts forward terms that are obviously unrealistic and inadequate,” Lavrov told reporters. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the G20 via video link earlier Tuesday, where he presented a 10-point peace plan to end Russia’s invasion. In...

In southern Ukraine, the city of Kherson has been liberated, but in the east, close to the Russian border, fighting still rages and casualties mount. In a trauma centre under daily Russian shelling, a dedicated team of medics - many of whom volunteered for service at the start of the war - are saving lives. The BBC spent almost a week with them.

Day 264: November 14 Even though the southern front line is still very active, President Zelensky visited Kherson City and symbolically gave a speech at Freedom Square. As you can see from the map, the nearest Russian positions are only 3 km from where he appeared. This also shows high confidence in the ability of Ukrainian forces to clear the city because, for the last few days, several reports have been saying that the Ukrainians found and detained Russian saboteurs in the city. In the meantime, a Ukrainians amphibious operation has indeed taken place. At first, the Head of the...
