    Acting head of the DPR Pushilin announced another exchange of military personnel
    “Today we are returning 107 of our fighters from Ukrainian dungeons. We are giving Ukraine the same number of prisoners, mostly VES soldiers again. Of the total number of those released, 65 were from the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics.

    Last time, most of the "exchanged POWs" from the Ukrs were Russian civilian crews of cargo ships kidnapped at the beginning of the operation.
    Not that it changes much other than the obvious "condition' of the Ukro regime.

    Maidan Ukraine: Without Ukrainian grain export, Vietnam will be doomed.
    Vietnam: SHUT THE F**K UP.

    https://tuoitre.vn/kiev-noi-viet-nam-bi-anh-huong-khi-ngu-coc-ach-tac-tai-cang-ukraine-bo-ngoai-giao-noi-gi-20221103164004802.htm

    Responding to Sputnik's question about the claim of Ukrainian Foreign Minister that "Vietnam can be affected by the interruption of grain export via the Black Sea", the spokewomen of Vietnamese Foreign Ministry affirmed that Vietnam has sufficient food storage to satisfy its domestic needs.

    Vietnam's rice yield is 41-43 tonnes and meat yield is 6.5 tonnes, enough to satisfy its domestic need.

    As the lead agriculture product exporter, Vietnam also contributed greatly to the common effort of global food security.

    I've spent 6 months in Thailand, they rarely use wheat or other flours like europeans do. Rice on the other hand is used in all their dishes.

    You do realize that w/o power to water treatment plants, electric stoves & heaters, refrigerators/freezers, and a whole other bunch of things we take for granted - life gets very, very difficult right? Not to mention that most livelihoods/jobs become no longer possible.
    As in - enough to provoke a mass humanitarian crisis
    And I'm assuming there is enough emergency power for hospitals, fire stations, police and gas stations at least.

    And it has to be debated what the objective is here.
    Are these strikes punitive? Is Russia trying to provoke evacuations of cities and emigration from the urban centres? Or are the main objectives military ones - trains/communications/Ukr. info warfare/etc..?

    Okay, took a class on the history of Air Power some years ago at University (man majoring in history and getting an MA in it may not pay, but it helps chop through BS and the courses could be fun) and there I learned that while airpower alone does not win wars, it is vital as it can destroy enemy infrastructure and warmaking capacity. I also learned that it paradoxically demoralizes armed forces, but steels the resolve of civilians.

    Now, while I do not like bombing civilians, by and large Russia has not hit civilians so that is not a concern. Second, clipping off power and water does put a strain on Ukrainian civilians and thrusts them on the EU which further strains the EU economy. It also further awakens EU opposition to the war. Third, the EU was hoping to make up for its self inflicted gunshot wound to the foot by importing energy from Ukraine. Now it has to send energy to Ukraine which further changes the attitudes of Europeans about this war. Fourth, you can send new toys to the nazis by truck, which is why bridges over the Dniepr need to go boom, but you can send a lot more by rail. Knock out power, you knock out a lot of rail. No rail, not as many new wonderwaffles. Not enough wonderwaffles? A whole lotta copium and a whole lotta guys in the Wehrmacht saying screw this, I am going home.

    Strange reports coming out of Kherson, including from military sources and the deputy head of the region.

    Hopefully none true, otherwise the Kharkov retreat will look tiny in comparison.

    Exchange before this was roughly "50 for 50" soldiers. Mostly Russian army, with 9 from LDPR. One you mentioned was before last two. 
    https://t.me/Slavyangrad/17220
    Last exchange was mostly LDPR soldiers and Russian soldiers from Crimea, per Aksyonov.

    Sounds more like zorobabel is trolling. Makes a claim with zero details.

    To add. In recent years we had very warm November and December months. The climate is shifting, and you see the cold coming in around January, February towards March and April. I cannot remember anymore when we had a white Christmas; so far it has always been rainy Christmas.

    Per zoka, this is all based on one flag being taken down on one government building. Don't know how credible zoka is but I am not seeing this being glorious achievement for Wehrmacht 2.0.

    The local authorities of Kherson explained the absence of the Russian flag on the administration building:
    “The government was transferred to Genichesk last week in full force. The building on the square housed the Regional State Administration of Ukraine. There were no Russian administrative departments there initially, the building was mothballed”

    Latvian army will increase by six people this year

    No, this is not a typo. Roughly six people. In 2022, the Latvian army was supposed to increase by 500 people, but something went wrong.

    The authorities explain it simply: the people are not the same ...

    Because people are self-oriented egoists,” said the head of the Latvian Interior Ministry.

    Here is the answer to all the latest movements in the grain deal - the Norwegian tanker Champion Pula with fuel is heading to the Ukrainian port of Yuzhny. Plus, another group of dry cargo ships with grain left the Ukrainian ports.

    Fuel that they have to pay for and the west can't afford to give them. Also, do you really think they will abide by the deal? Putin knows the answer to this and he intends to expose them and use their violations as an excuse to take Odessa.

    Crazy thing is that starting point for this ship was Russian port of Taman a month ago. Granted AIS tracking was probably disconnected for most of the time, but it is not excluded that some monkey business is going on around it. Probably, someone from Russia is selling oil and fuel to middlemen and then ship sits somewhere for a time, to obfuscate situation further, and then goes to Ukraine to unload. 😁
