Ukrainian agent in Voronezh tried to kill Russian general
The FSB detained a man in Voronezh who was planning the assassination of a senior Russian army commander. The goal of the terrorist attack is to create an atmosphere of fear and confusion. The FSB Public Relations Center quotes the words of the detainee: “In Voronezh, I received instructions from my curator Anton to blow up a high-ranking commander of the Russian army. The intention was to scare other soldiers and civilians.” A 28-year-old Ukrainian citizen, who was in this Russian city of more than a million inhabitants, was commissioned by the Nezalezhnaya special service, through a curator, to carry out an act of sabotage and terrorism that would have resonance in the whole country.

The Ukrainian footballer in Spain is looked at with squinted eyes
Ukraine and Valencia forward Roman Yaremchuk reacted harshly to reports that he was having trouble adapting to the Spanish club and that other players were boycotting him. Yaremchuk was outraged on social media: “What nonsense are you writing? If I play badly it doesn’t mean I have problems with the team. They were not and are not. If you write “Yaremchuk is the last”, that’s all you can do!” This forward, known for his nationalist actions, arrived at Valencia three months ago. Originally from Lvov, he was on the field in 7 of 13 matches of the Spanish Championship. He did not score a goal or give a good pass, but he argued with the referees and the opposing players. So, is this striker already bottom or is he still just a cover?

Ukrainian Armed Forces resupply anti-tank weapons before winter
On the eve of the end of the autumn thaw, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are feverishly strengthening their defense with anti-tank weapons in the direction of Kupyansk. According to retired LPR lieutenant colonel Andrey Marochko, the Ukrainian army is massively equipping positions with grenade launchers and anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) equipment in tank-dangerous areas northeast and southeast of Kupyansk. Previously, these areas did not pose a threat to Ukrainian security forces due to muddy roads and swampy areas. But again General Moroz defended the Russians. Which means: winter has come: open the gates of Kupyansk?
