Up to 50 thousand Mariupol residents left Ukraine: some returned to the occupied city through housing – city council

Up to 50 thousand Mariupol residents left Ukraine because of the war. The invaders demand that the owners of the surviving housing return to the city, otherwise they will confiscate the property.

Russian invaders are forcing residents of destroyed Mariupol to return to the city in order to preserve the right to surviving housing. If the owners do not confirm their rights, the property will be confiscated. These actions are part of the propaganda campaign of the aggressor country, which tries to create the illusion of "restoring" the city, while in fact the rights of Mariupol residents are systematically violated, and living conditions remain catastrophic. this was reported by The Mariupol city council, reports UNN.

Over the past 3 years, 30-50 thousand Mariupol residents have left Ukraine. This is evidenced by the data of the Yamariupol and resistance centers. Some of those people still returned to Mariupol. However, there is no exact information on how many of them stayed in the city and how many later left.

how Russia manipulates Mariupol residents

The information space is actively discussing the issue of returning people to the temporarily occupied territories, in particular to Mariupol.

"Why do some people leave? The aggressor country purposefully creates a real trap for Ukrainian families, using its usual tools – propaganda, lawlessness and manipulation," Mayor Vadym Boychenko said in a statement.

After Russian troops destroyed more than 1,000 high-rise buildings in Mariupol, leaving 67,000 families homeless, the invaders are issuing an ultimatum to people. Owners of surviving homes are forced to return to prove their right to housing. Otherwise, the property will be taken away.

"It's actually a trap. After all, all this is done only to create a propaganda picture of the restoration of the city, but in fact Mariupol remains dilapidated, and the rights of Mariupol residents themselves are ignored," the Mariupol City Council added.

why not go back

The Ukrainian authorities urge Mariupol residents not to return to the occupied territory. Meeting the demands of the Russians does not guarantee security or fair treatment. In Mariupol, as in other occupied territories, the lawlessness of the Russian military and administrations Reigns.

Ukraine is preparing support programs for displaced persons, although this is a complex and lengthy process due to the war.

"Yes, we all want this work to go on as quickly as possible, but Ukraine is going through extremely difficult times precisely because of Russian aggression," the report says.

The City Council summed up that after the liberation of Mariupol, the Ukrainian law will be in force again, and the authorities will work to restore justice and ensure the rights of all residents.

previously

MP and member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on human rights Maksym Tkachenko said that about 150 thousand internally displaced persons returned to the temporarily occupied territories, of which about 70 thousand settled in Mariupol. As a reason, he cited insufficient support for displaced persons from the state, in particular, the lack of housing, social payments and employment opportunities.

Tkachenko later denied his words, admitting that it was "an emotional and unfounded assumption.

Statements about the mass return of IDPs were sharply condemned by the deputy head of the Presidential Office Irina Vereshchuk. She stressed that such statements are "lies and an attempt to draw attention to a painful topic"

Europe is again backing down on sending troops to Ukraine, reversing its position.

PoliticsWar Europe is again backing down on sending troops to Ukraine, reversing its position. Wednesday, November 27, 2024

Recently, Le Monde published an article stating that discussions had resumed in Europe about sending troops to Ukraine, primarily from the UK and France. Against this background, the British Foreign Secretary hastened to state that his country is not currently considering the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine. “There has long been a position that we are not sending British troops to the theater of operations. This is certainly the UK position, and it remains the UK position at this time,” the British diplomat said. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani made a similar statement. “We are helping Kyiv politically, financially, and militarily, but we will not send soldiers to fight in Ukraine,” he noted, adding that it is extremely important to avoid escalation at this time. Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur stressed that Ukraine needs money invested in its military industry, not foreign troops for a war against Russia. “The West needs to keep a cool and calm mind: we must react, but not overreact,” Pevkur noted.

The Trump team signed a memorandum on the transfer of power to the Biden administration

An agreement was signed on the new administration's access to information from US federal agencies. The transition period will be carried out at private expense, without the use of government buildings and technology.

Trump's team signed a memorandum on the transfer of power with the Joe Biden administration. This is reported by USA Today, reports UNN.

Details

The agreement gives the new administration access to information from federal agencies that is necessary to prepare for taking over the government. According to the publication, the established schedule for the transfer of presidential power is designed to facilitate the transfer of control. However, the Trump team missed the September 1 and October 1 deadlines to sign planned agreements with the Office of common services and the White House.

Now, the transition period of Trump and US Vice President-elect J. D. Vance will be carried out at the expense of private funding.

The agreement also stipulates that the Trump team will not use government buildings or technologies provided by the Office of common services. This, in turn, is likely to raise security concerns, given recent attempts to hack at least one of the presidential campaigns. The terms set out by the Trump transition team largely contradict protocol and some established procedures that have been used for decades during the transfer of power.

Max Steer, president and CEO of the Public Service Partnership, which oversees the Center for the transition of presidential power, said the signing of the agreement marks "a positive step towards an effective transfer of power.

This agreement opens up direct access to federal agency information, which is crucial to the new administration's readiness to start managing from day one and is crucial to the success of the transition

Max Steer added.

Earlier, UNN reported that the team of the newly elected US president is discussing the possibility of holding direct talks with the leader of the DPRK. This diplomatic move can reduce the risk of armed conflict between the two countries.

Umerov-led delegation arrives in South Korea seeking weapons, military aid, media reports

A Ukrainian delegation led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov arrived in South Korea on Nov. 27, with the aim of requesting military aid from Seoul, several media outlets reported.

The delegation is expected to meet with President Yoon Suk Yeol as early as Wednesday, according to the Korean Times, citing several sources close to the matter. Yoon has previously said that the country does not rule out providing arms to Ukraine in the light of deepening cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.

Russian-North Korean relations entered a new level when Pyongyang dispatched around 11,000 troops to join Russia's war against Ukraine. A vast majority of the deployed North Korean troops are currently receiving training alongside Russian forces, preparing to attempt to regain control of Russia's Kursk Oblast.

Ahead of the planned meeting, the delegation has reportedly met with South Korean National Security Adviser and former Defense Minister Shin Won-sik, according to the South Korean media outlet Dong-a Ilbo.

South Korea's government has not yet confirmed the arrival of the Ukrainian delegation. President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukraine would provide South Korea with a detailed request for military support in an October interview with KBS.

South Korea has thus far resisted supplying lethal arms to Ukraine and instead opted to provide financial, and humanitarian support alongside non-lethal aid, citing legislative restrictions. Some media reports from last year claimed that the country secretly supplied artillery shells to Ukraine via the U.S., though the South Korean government denied the reports.

Living in constant tension with its North Korean neighbors, South Korea boasts a powerful military and strong defense industry, making the country a major arms exporter.

Experts told the Kyiv Independent that South Korea could provide the most significant support to Ukraine through ammunition supplies. The country fields not only 155 mm artillery but also stores 3.4 million 105 mm rounds compatible with some of Ukraine's guns.

Terrorists shelled Kherson region: 11 wounded and infrastructure destruction

Enemy forces shelled 15 settlements in the Kherson region, damaging residential buildings and infrastructure. As a result of the attacks, 11 people were injured and hospitalized.

The enemy once again shelled the Kherson region, as a result of which 11 people were injured. This is reported by the chairman of the Kherson RMA Alexander Prokudin, reports UNN.

Biden asks Congress to allocate additional US$24 billion for Ukraine – media
US President Joe Biden has called on Congress to provide an additional US$24 billion to strengthen military support for Ukraine.

Source: New York Post with reference to Politico.Pro

Details: According to the report, the White House Office of Management and Budget proposed to include this financial assistance in the package to avoid a funding freeze by the next presidential administration.

Out of the total amount of US$24 billion, US$8 billion is earmarked to finance US companies' contracts to supply arms to Ukraine. Another US$16 billion will be used to replenish the US military arsenal.

However, some Republicans have already expressed their disagreement with this step, criticising the request.

"Joe Biden just gave away 4.7 billion in your taxpayer dollars by unilaterally ‘forgiving’ loans to Ukraine. Congress must not give him a free gift to further sabotage President Trump’s peace negotiations on the way out the door. Any Biden funding demands should be DOA [dead on arrival]," Senator Mike Lee of Utah wrote on X (Twitter).

Borrell: The EU has failed to provide Ukraine with everything it needs to counter Russia.

PoliticsWar Borrell: The EU has failed to provide Ukraine with everything it needs to counter Russia. Wednesday, November 27, 2024

EU has struggled to make progress this year on a fair settlement of the war against Ukraine, said EU High Representative Josep Borrell. He recalled that this year, the EU had allocated €122B in aid to Ukraine, including €45B in military support. In addition, the bloc has allowed the use of proceeds from frozen Russian assets to guarantee Ukrainian assistance in the future. “But we have failed to provide Ukraine with sufficient resources to protect it from constant air attacks on its civilian and energy infrastructure,” the diplomat noted. Borrell also believes that the EU has not provided Ukraine with enough ammunition to prevent the Russian army’s advance. He called the participation of North Korean soldiers in the war a “worrying step” towards the war’s internationalization. Simultaneously, German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck expressed a similar position on support for Ukraine. In his opinion, Germany was too late in transferring weapons to Ukraine. As an example, the country delayed the transfer of Leopard tanks, and now the situation is similar with Taurus missiles.

The ridiculous stats of Erling Haaland: More Champions League goals than Mo Salah!

We started to collate the astonishing stats that made Erling Haaland’s start to life in the Premier League utterly extraordinary a long time ago.

The concern is that his numbers are, if anything, getting more ridiculous.

* Haaland has become the first Premier League player in history about whom formerly-good football website Football365.com has started doing a Ridiculous Stats piece and then realised to their horror is going to have to be updated enormously often.

* Haaland’s goal in the 2-2 draw against Arsenal was his 100th for Manchester City in just his 105th appearance.

* Haaland was the quickest player ever to reach 50 Premier League goals, taking just 48 matches to hit the half-century and beat Andy Cole (65 games, Alan Shearer (66), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68), Mo Salah and Fernando Torres (both 72).

* Haaland was the quickest player ever to reach 75 Premier League goals, taking just 77 matches to beat Alan Shearer (93), Harry Kane (115), Ruud van Nistelrooy (116), Mo Salah (117) and Sergio Aguero (118).

* No player had ever scored the first two goals of a Premier League season before Haaland managed it against Burnley in 2023/24.

* Haaland has scored against all 23 opponents he has faced in the Premier League, the most recent newcomer to that wildly unexclusive club being Ipswich.

* Haaland has scored in 19 of the 21 stadiums he’s played at in the Premier League, missing only Anfield and the Gtech Community Stadium from his collection.

* Haaland broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season in his debut campaign for Manchester City, scoring 36 goals in his 35 appearances, to beat Andy Cole and Alan Shearer (who both set the 34-goal record in 42-game campaigns).

* No player has scored more goals in an English top-flight league season than Haaland’s 36 in 2022/23 since Ron Davies netted 37 times for Southampton in 1966/67.

* Haaland also broke the record for most goals in one season in all competitions by a Premier League player (52), comfortably surpassing Mo Salah in 2017/18 and Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2002/03 (both 44).

* The only player in the history of top-flight English football to score more goals in all competitions in a single season than Haaland’s 52 in 2022/23 is Dixie Dean (63 for Everton in 1927/28).

* Haaland has scored 75 Premier League goals – more than the career totals of Gabriel Agbonlahor, Gabriel Jesus, Danny Ings, Brian Deane, Chris Armstrong, Eric Cantona, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Kevin De Bruyne, Luis Suarez, Danny Welbeck, Duncan Ferguson, Wilfried Zaha, Michail Antonio, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, David Beckham, Yaya Toure, Robert Pires, Stan Collymore, David Silva, Gianfranco Zola, Clint Dempsey, Tim Cahill, Eidur Gudjohnsen, John Hartson, James Milner, James Ward-Prowse, Andy Carroll, Damien Duff, Christian Eriksen, Kanu, Gus Poyet, Gareth Bale, Diego Costa, Javier Hernandez, Juan Mata, Darius Vassell, Dele Alli, Dirk Kuyt, Edin Dzeko, Cesc Fabregas, Paulo Wanchope, Nolberto Solano, Freddie Ljungberg, Bruno Fernandes, Philippe Coutinho, Paul Merson, Gary McAllister, Nobby Solano, Ashley Young, Ilkay Gundogan, Willian, Juan Pablo Angel, Shola Ameobi, Demba Ba, Willian, Freddie Kanoute, Ashley Barnes, Kelechi Iheanacho, Steve McManaman, Steffen Iversen, Raul Jimenez, Kenwyne Jones, John Carew, Tore Andre Flo, Darren Huckerby, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dean Sturridge, Darren Anderton, Papiss Cisse, Benni McCarthy, Kevin Doyle, Peter Odemwingie, Salomon Kalou, Paul Dickov, Florent Malouda, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Mesut Ozil, Jurgen Klinsmann, Nicky Butt, Juninho, Jesse Lingard, Savo Milosevic, Paul Rideout, Paul Pogba, Tammy Abraham, Nani, Victor Anichebe, Benjani, Roque Santa Cruz, Marcus Stewart, Mick Quinn, Stephane Sessegnon, Lomano Lua Lua, Tony Yeboah, Andrey Arshavin, Xherdan Shaqiri, Divock Origi, Mario Balotelli, Patrick Bamford, David Ginola, Michael Ricketts, Gianluca Vialli, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Michael Ballack, Erik Lamela, Alvaro Morata, Jose Antonio Reyes, Michy Batshuayi, Arjen Robben, Joe Allen, Fabio Borini, Demarai Gray, Odion Ighalo, Alex Iwobi, Robinho, Kai Havertz, Andre Schurrle, Luka Modric, David Platt, Gareth Southgate, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Edinson Cavani, Mousa Dembele, Samuel Eto’o, Dimitri Payet, Ademola Lookman, Harry Maguire, Emmanuel Petit, Granit Xhaka, Daniel Amokachi, Diego Forlan, Serhiy Rebrov, Andriy Shevchenko, Ronnie Rosenthal, Peter Beagrie, Gavin Peacock, Timo Werner, Jack Grealish, Luis Garcia and Alf-Inge Haaland.

* Haaland has also scored more Premier League goals than seven Premier League clubs: Bradford (68), Cardiff (66), Blackpool (55), Huddersfield Town (50), Luton (49), Swindon (47) and Barnsley (37).

* Haaland has more Premier League goals (75) than Premier League starts (72).

* Haaland scored more Premier League goals than Everton and Wolves in his debut season. So far this season, Newcastle, Manchester United, Everton, Crystal Palace, Ipswich and Southampton all lag behind his 12-goal tally.

* By scoring nine goals in his first five Premier League games in 2022/23, Haaland finally knocked Micky Quinn’s name out of the record books. The former Coventry forward jointly held the previous record for most goals in his first five Premier League games with eight in the year football was invented. Sergio Aguero matched that in 2011/12.

* In 2024/25, Haaland set a new record for the most goals scored in the first three games of a Premier League season (seven, beating Edin Dzeko in 2011/12), the first four games of a Premier League season (nine, beating Wayne Rooney in 2011/12), and the first five games of a Premier League season (10, beating… himself from two years ago).

* Haaland was already one of only six players to score back-to-back Premier League hat-tricks and has now done it twice. But he hasn’t yet matched Harry Kane in this particular field of excellence. Kane has not only done it twice, but did so in the same year (if not the same season) after scoring seven goals across the final two games of 2016/17 against Leicester and Hull before netting hat-tricks in successive games against Burnley and Southampton either side of Christmas Day seven months later. Hard as it is to credit, incidentally, that Boxing Day treble against Southampton in 2017 is Kane’s most recent Premier League hat-trick and will now remain so for quite some time.

* Haaland has scored eight Premier League hat-tricks – the same number as Harry Kane, Thierry Henry and Michael Owen and more than absolutely everyone else bar Sergio Aguero (12), Alan Shearer (11) and Robbie Fowler (9).

* Four Premier League hat-tricks in a single season (2022/23) is more than any player has managed bar Alan Shearer, who scored five for Blackburn in 1995/96.

* Haaland has surpassed Dion Dublin’s three Premier League hat-tricks. But how many episodes of Homes Under the Hammer has Haaland presented? Exactly.

* Haaland’s eight hat-tricks have taken Norway fifth above Spain on the list of countries to have produced the most Premier League trebles with 18, Haaland standing on the shoulders of such giants as Solskjaer, Steffen Iversen and Joshua King (two each), John Carew, Tore Andre Flo and Jan Age Fjortoft (one each). Argentina, France and Netherlands are joint-second with 19, which frankly shouldn’t take too long to topple, but even Haaland will have to hang around a few years to knock England’s 171 hat-tricks off top spot.

* Haaland is the first player in the Premier League to score hat-tricks in three successive home games, and was the first Manchester City player to score a Manchester derby hat-trick since 1970 before Phil Foden almost immediately joined him.

* Haaland is unsurprisingly the quickest player ever to reach three Premier League hat-tricks after getting there in eight(!) games. The previous record holder was Michael Owen, who managed it in a sluggish 48 games. Next best are Ruud van Nistelrooy (59 games), Fernando Torres (64) and Andy Cole (65).

* Haaland is also by definition the quickest player ever to reach four Premier League hat-tricks after getting there in 19(!) games. The previous record holder was Ruud van Nistelrooy, who managed it in a laborious 65 games. Next best are Luis Suarez (81), Alan Shearer (86) and Robbie Fowler (89).

* Haaland was the fastest player to ever score 25 goals under Pep Guardiola, doing so in 20 games to beat Lionel Messi (28), Samuel Eto’o (30), Sergio Aguero (35) and Thierry Henry (41).

* No player has ever scored more goals in a season for Manchester City than Haaland. Tommy Johnson’s mark of 38 goals stood since 1929 before Haaland broke it by mid-March of his debut campaign.

* Haaland was both the fastest and youngest player to reach 20 Champions League goals, obliterating Harry Kane’s really quite impressive previous benchmark of 24 games by 10 when reaching the landmark in just 14 games for Salzburg and Dortmund. At 20 years and 231 days old, Haaland was over a year younger than previous record-holder Kylian Mbappe as the youngest player to reach 20 Champions League goals.

* Haaland was also the fastest and youngest player to reach 30 Champions League goals, reaching the mark in 25 games and thus shattering Ruud van Nistelrooy’s previous 34-match haul, while beating Kylian Mbappe by 116 days.

* Haaland was indeed also both the fastest and youngest player to reach 40 Champions League goals.

* Only Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo (both 8), Robert Lewandowski (6), Karim Benzema (4), Mario Gomez, Filippo Inzaghi, Luiz Adriano and Neymar (3) have scored more career Champions League hat-tricks than Haaland’s two.

* Only 12 players have ever scored more European Cup goals than Haaland. In the Champions League, that number is reduced to just 11.

* Haaland has more European Cup goals than Mo Salah, Didier Drogba, Neymar, Sergio Aguero, Ferenc Puskas, Edinson Cavani, Gerd Muller, Fernando Morientes, Arjen Robben, Samuel Eto’o, Paco Gento, Antoine Griezmann, Kaka, Wayne Rooney, Patrick Kluivert, David Trezeguet, Ryan Giggs, Sadio Mane, Rivaldo, Luis Suarez and a couple of others.

* Haaland scored 12 goals in Manchester City’s 2022/23 Champions League campaign to claim the competition’s Golden Boot for the second time. Only 12 players have ever finished multiple European Cup seasons as top scorer – and just Ronaldo, Messi, Van Nistelrooy, Raul and Andriy Shevchenko have done it in the Champions League era.

* Haaland has only played 17 games in the Champions League knockout stages but just 11 players have more goals in such matches.

* Haaland has more Champions League knockout stage goals (14) than Neymar (13) managed in 32 games.

* Haaland has more Champions League knockout stage goals than Neymar, Luis Suarez, Thierry Henry, Kaka, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto’o and Mo Salah.

* Haaland and Lionel Messi are the only players to score a first-half hat-trick in a Champions League knockout game.

* Haaland, Messi and Luiz Adriano are the only players to score five goals in a Champions League game.

* At the age of just 24 and winning only his 36th cap for Norway, Haaland’s brace in a 3-0 Nations League win over Slovenia took him to 34 goals and beyond Jorgen Juve’s national record of 33 which had stood since before World War Two.

* Haaland is the first player to score five goals in a single Champions League match and a single FA Cup match.

* With his five-goal FA Cup haul against Luton, Haaland also became the first player to score five or more goals in a single game for Manchester City twice, the first Manchester City player to score five or more goals in an FA Cup match since Frank Roberts did so in 1926, the first Manchester City player to score seven goals in their first five FA Cup appearances, and the first player to score five or more goals in an FA Cup game against a top-flight club since George Best’s six against Northampton in 1970.

Elon Musk confirms that he limits the ability of X users to share external news

Elon Musk confirmed the restriction of visibility of posts with external links on social network X. The network's algorithm deliberately reduces the reach of posts with hyperlinks to keep users on the platform.

The American billionaire, owner of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, has admitted that he limits the ability of people to spread external news on the social network X, UNN reports, citing Independent.

Details

Users have noticed that social media company X, owned by Elon Musk, is slowing down traffic to other websites by suppressing any posts that contain external links. However, the businessman himself confirmed this fact. For example, Paul Graham, an influential tech investor and essayist, complained on Sunday that X had “deprioritized tweets with links,” saying it made it difficult to “find out what's going on.

Just write a description in the main post and put a link in the reply. It will simply stop linking “lazily”

– Musk replied.

Paul Graham then asked why it would be less “lazy” for him to link to one of his essays in a reply rather than the original post, but he never received an answer. In addition, journalists and analysts have long since discovered that X's ordering and recommendation algorithms have penalized posts with hyperlinks. Elon Musk admitted that this was true back in October last year.

Our algorithm tries to optimize the time spent on X, so links don't attract as much attention because less time is spent if people click far away

– Musk said at the time.

When Elon Musk acquired Twitter, which he later renamed X, he said he planned to completely change the social network's policies and introduce a new economy on the platform. All this to encourage people to post on X rather than any other social network.

The hyperlinking policy is consistent with Elon Musk's longstanding hostility to traditional media, which has often reported on the misconduct of many of his companies.

Recall

X users are sharing medical images with Grok chatbot on a massive scale at the urging of Elon Musk. Experts warn of privacy risks, as such data is not protected by federal law.
