    There have been 97 combat engagements in the frontline since the beginning of the day: the hottest spot is in the Kurakhove sector

    Over 50% of all combat engagements took place in the Kurakhove and Pokrovske sectors over the last day. The most intense fighting continues in the areas of Antonivka and Novoselidivka.

    More than half of the 97 battles on the frontline today took place in the Pokrovske and Kurakhove directions, with the occupants making the main efforts in the areas of Antonivka and Novoselidivka, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported at 16:00 on November 13, UNN reports.

    Since the beginning of the day, the enemy has continued its offensive, the number of combat engagements along the entire frontline has increased to 97. The enemy is most active in the Pokrovske and Kurakhove sectors

    – reported the General Staff.

    The situation is reportedly as follows:

    In the Kharkiv sector, one enemy attack was repelled near Vovchansk.

    In the Kupyansk sector, the enemy started storming the positions of our units near Lozova and Pershotravneve five times. Two firefights are ongoing. Pishchane, Kivrashivka, Zahryzove and Bohuslavka were attacked by UAVs.

    On the Liman direction, the invading army conducted five attacks on Ukrainian positions in the direction of Cherneshchyna, Terny and Zarichne during the day. Three engagements ended, two are ongoing. The enemy actively used aviation in this area, Yampolivka and Terny came under attack from anti-aircraft gunships, and the enemy attacked Serhiivka and Novoyehorivka with aerial tanks.

    In the Kramatorsk sector, one firefight took place in the vicinity of Stupochki.

    In the Toretsk sector, the enemy tried three times to improve its position in the Toretsk area. Ukrainian soldiers gave a worthy rebuff. The occupier dropped eight bombs in the area of Dachne.

    Since the beginning of the day, the occupants have already made 24 attempts to push our defenders from their positions in the Pokrovske sector. Fighting continues near Sukhoi Balka, Promen, Lysivka, Krutyi Yar, Hryhorivka, Dachenske, Petrivka, Novooleksiyivka, and Pustynka. Pushkine was hit by UAVs.

    The situation is the hottest in the Kurakhove sector, where 32 hostile attacks have already been registered in the areas of Berestky, Illinka, Novoselydivka, Voznesenka, Novodmitrivka, Maksymilianivka, Dalne, Antonivka and Katerynivka. In the areas of Antonivka and Novoselydivka, the occupants are making the main efforts – they conducted 16 assaults, ten of which are ongoing. At the same time, the enemy dropped two combat vehicles in the vicinity of Kurakhove.

    In the Vremivsk sector, eight firefights took place near the towns of Rivne, Novopil, Trudove, Kostiantynopolske and Makarivka. Six attacks are still being repelled by Ukrainian defenders. Velyka Novosilka, Zelene Pole, and Novopil were hit by air strikes.

    On the Gulyaypil direction, the enemy attacked Belogorye with rocket-propelled grenades.

    On the Orikhivsk direction, the occupiers attacked three times in the directions of Novodanilivka and Novoandriivka. The enemy dropped four guided aerial bombs near Zaporizhzhia and Natalivka.

    Four enemy assaults were successfully repelled in the Prydniprovsky sector. At the same time, the enemy launched an air strike with NARs on Kozatske.

    There were no major changes in other areas.

    Sumy, Chernihiv and Kharkiv regions, as indicated, continue to suffer from artillery shelling from the territory of the Russian Federation. Thus, the areas of Pavlivka, Oleksandrivka, Zhuravka, Dibrova, Novenke, Basivka, and Ryasne came under hostile fire. Basivka, Zhuravka and Yunakivka were hit by air strikes.

  • Putin cuts payments to Russians for injuries in war against Ukraine

    Putin cuts payments to Russians for injuries in war against Ukraine

    Russian ruler Vladimir Putin has approved new rules for compensation for wounded soldiers who took part in the war against Ukraine. Under the new conditions, a significant number of wounded Russian soldiers will receive reduced payments.

    Source: RIA Novosti and TASS, Kremlin-aligned Russian news outlets

    Details: The payments will be three million roubles (about US$30,000) for serious injuries, one million roubles (about US$10,000) for light injuries and 100,000 roubles (about US$1,000) for "other minor injuries".

  • Match-going Man Utd supporters stand up amid influencer noise with Ruben Amorim given sneak peek

    Match-going Man Utd supporters stand up amid influencer noise with Ruben Amorim given sneak peek

    Man Utd fans

    Manchester United‘s Under-21s were in action on Tuesday night at the John Smith’s Stadium, where they were beaten comfortably by Huddersfield Town in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy. It was quite literally men against boys in Town’s 4-1 triumph, but what should illicit most United pride is the vocal away crowd that turned out to support their next generation.

    Almost 600 fans made the short trip over from Manchester, singing loud and proud all night, enjoying friendly song exchanges with the youthful Town support to the left of the away end.

    United have long packed out allocations across the country and Europe, and though the away stand wasn’t quite full on Tuesday night, those that made the journey deserve some credit.

    For many, it was an opportunity to get their weekly football fix with the senior team out of action at the weekend due to the international break. For those much younger, an opportunity to know what it feels like to travel and support their team where tickets are far easier, and cheaper, to buy in comparison to senior games.

    Top support as always from the travelling reds 🇾🇪#MUFC pic.twitter.com/Xq3tL56SJ2

    — Adam (@AdamLunat02) November 12, 2024

    It may come as a surprise to many, but United fans travelling to support the youngsters is nothing new. They did just that earlier this season in the same competition when the Under-21s played away at Barnsley. Don’t forget, Old Trafford was filled with 67,000 fans in 2022 when the Under-18s were crowned FA Youth Cup winners after beating Nottingham Forest.

    On that particular day, the United faithful saw a glimpse of their future, with two young lads called Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo both standing out on the night. Fast-forward two years and they guided the senior team to FA Cup success, both netting at Wembley in May.

    The club’s Carrington academy base has long been a talent factory for the youth; the carousel has churned out stars like Marcus Rashford in recent years. And if Gary Neville didn’t mention it enough, the Class of ’92 also came through the same system.

    Habeeb Ogunneye, Jayce Fitzgerald and Harry Amass, all of whom were involved against Huddersfield, have enjoyed some degree of involvement with the first team in the last 12 months.

    On the final whistle, the defeated youngsters trudged over to applaud those that came out to support them. There’s no guarantee, but those who go on to enjoy a career at United will quickly learn that the away support will always do exactly what it says on the tin: support.

    The era of social media has given a platform to YouTubers and influencers who find it easy to hurl abuse at players and spark narratives which are backed by their thousands of followers. Garnacho faced exactly that scenario ahead of last week’s clash against PAOK in the Europa League when a fan was heard giving the Argentina international advice on what he should be doing on the pitch, all while streaming his footage.

    Garnacho was then visibly subdued in his celebration of a goal against Leicester, with captain Bruno Fernandes later revealing that the 20-year-old felt he had lost the support of some of the fans.

    This came despite the Old Trafford crowd being vocal in their efforts to get behind the winger, who has adopted club legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Viva Ronaldo’ song. The 593 at Huddersfield could be heard singing ‘Viva Garnacho’ on Tuesday night too. A youngster who joined from Spain during the Covid lockdown will have learned a lot about United’s real fanbase this week.

    United are now onto their sixth permanent manager since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in Ruben Amorim. All five of his predecessors would probably be in agreement that the only thing they received from match-goers was support.

    The culture around United’s fanbase is stark compared to other clubs. Booing performances at half-time and full-time has slowly crept into Old Trafford in recent years, but managers have been supported until their final day.

    Jose Mourinho, a man who destroyed any semblance of dressing-room harmony, was supported until the very end. The Portuguese manager’s name was even sung at Old Trafford when he returned to the ground at a later date while on punditry duty with Sky Sports. Everybody had their own opinion on the recently sacked Erik ten Hag, but he too was backed by the fans until his final day.

    If the incoming Amorim wants to know what to expect from match-going United fans, he would only have to watch the highlights of the Under 21s clash and note something other than the return of Tyrell Malacia.

    Final matches of the Nations League 2024/2025: how the national team of Ukraine is preparing for the matches

    Tsygankov, Lunin, and Buyalsky will miss important Nations League matches for various reasons. Rebrov's team is training in Turkey, and Dovbyk is separated from the training group due to knee problems.

    This Saturday, November 15, the Ukrainian national team will play an away match against Georgia in Group B1 of the 2024/2025 Nations League, and next Tuesday, November 19, Ukraine will play its final match of the season against Albania. The matches will be key, as they will decide the fate of which league Ukraine will continue to play in. UNN decided to gather the latest news from the national team camp before the important matches.

    Details

    The players of the national team playing in the domestic championship have already left for Belek, Turkey, where they will hold the main stage of training. The foreign players will arrive immediately in Turkey, where the team will prepare until November 15, 2, when they will go to Batumi.

    Ukraine's national team begins preparations for the final two matches of the Nations LeagueNov 11 2024, 02:09 PM • 15771 view

    In early November, Serhii Rebrov announced the team for the final matches of the Nations League against Georgia and Albania. Yegor Yarmolyuk from English club Brentford received his debut call-up, and for the second time in a row, Polissia's wing midfielders Oleksandr Nazarenko and Oleksiy Tsutsulyak Oleksandr Nazarenko and Oleksiy Hutsulyak and Oleksandriya midfielder Ivan Kalyuzhnyi.

    However, recently it became knownthat the Wenger of the Spanish "Girona" Viktor Tsygankov will miss the national team matches for the second time in a row due to injury. Prior to that, Tsygankov was eliminated from the application for the October matches of the Nations League due to an injury that he suffered in the Champions League game against the Dutch "Feyenoord".

    Instead of Tsygankov, Rebrov called up Dynamo Kyiv captain Vitaliy Buyalsky, who was on the reserve list. However, at a press conference after Dynamo's 2-1 victory over Polissia, Buyalsky said he had a minor injury. Later, the UAF confirmedthat the midfielder would not be able to help the national team.

    Also, the goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andrey Lunin will not help the national team due to family circumstances. Instead of Lenin from the reserve list , Dmitry Reznik, the goalkeeper of Shakhtar Donetsk, was called up.

    In addition, there were rumors that Roma forward Artem Dovbyk might not take part in the national team's November matches. According to media reports, after the last match with Roma, the striker complained of discomfort in his knee, which had bothered him several times this season. However, an MRI scan showed no damage.

    But the UAF reported that Dovbyk had joined the national team's training camp in Turkey.

    According to the Italian press, yesterday Rebrov's team held its first training session without Dovbyk working with the general group. It is noted that today the team's doctors will examine the forward and, together with their Roman colleagues, will decide whether to keep Dovbyk or release him back to Italy.

    The day before, head coach Serhii Rebrov spoke in an interview with the Pryamaya Chervona YouTube channel about the condition of the national team players, the players' motivation and shared why he did not call up Andrii Yarmolenko to the national team.

    "The story with Yarmolenko shows that there are enough players in his position who have shown and are showing a high level. I was interested to see the same Hutsulyak, although we had called him up before, but he only got practice in the match against Bosnia. The same applies to Nazarenko, who at that time scored enough goals and showed a very mature game in the national championship, so I was very interested in inviting these players, but not as the fourth player for the position, but to give them a chance," Rebrov said.

    The coach also spoke about the ban of foreign clubs on the departure of foreign national team players to Ukraine.

    "I would love to, but our legionnaires are not allowed to go to Ukraine by the clubs. Unfortunately, this is impossible. I'm sure all the players want to play in Ukraine for their fans. When you play in Ukraine, it is a completely different matter and emotions. We hope to return as soon as possible. It is very important for our people. We all understand this, and we are even trying to do something, but it is currently impossible," Rebrov said.

    Rebrov also singled out several national team players, including Ivan Kalyuzhnyi, who has only recently received a call-up to the national team.

    "Ivan Kalyuzhny is a real discovery. He shows a very good game and desire. His work is an example for other players. This is an example of the balance that every player should have. That's why Ivan really showed what he wants and can do," the coach said.

    The head coach also shared his opinion on the performance of Bournemouth center back Ilya Zabarny.

    "I really like his attitude to football. He is a professional, understands how to prepare for games, and is focused on every game. Understands that where he is now, at Bournemouth, is not the final stop. He is progressing, he wants to progress further, get into a bigger club, and for this, which is very important, you need to work. He does it in the national team and at Bournemouth now, " said the coach.

    Debutant of the national team Igor Yarmolyuk, who was called up from the English "Brentford", in a comment to the UAF shared his impressions of the call-up.

    "Rebrov greeted me and told me not to get nervous, because everything would be fine. I liked the training session. Everyone is friendly, we worked hard, and we are going to the hotel with a good result. Every person who is in the national team will have jitters at the first training session, at least," Yarmolyuk said.

    Yarmolyuk also shared that it would be a success for him to make his debut for the national team and win 2 games.

    Addendum

    On Saturday, November 16, the Ukrainian national football team will play away against Georgia in the 5th round of the UEFA Nations League Division B. The match will take place at the Batumi Arena in the Georgian city of the same name. The match starts at 19:00 Kyiv time.

    Ukraine's national team is currently in last place in the group, with 4 points thanks to a victory over Georgia and a draw with the Czech Republic.

    Theoretically, Ukraine can take any other place in the group. If our team takes first place, it will qualify for League A. If it takes second place, it will play in the butt matches for promotion to League A with the third-place team from League A. The third place will play head-to-head matches to retain their place in League B with the team that took second place in League C.

    The last place will demote Ukraine to League C.

    A platform for technology business CodeUA has been launched in Ukraine: what it is and how it works

    Ukraine has launched the CodeUA platform for finding partnerships between foreign companies and Ukrainian IT developers. The project aims to increase the share of IT in GDP and turn Ukraine into a technology hub.

    Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Development of Education, Science and Technology – Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of the CodeUA platform for technology business, UNN reports.

    According to Fedorov, CodeUA is a global marketplace for top Ukrainian tech companies. On the platform, large foreign businesses will look for partners among our IT specialists.

    How CodeUA works

    It's like Upwork for global businesses and IT companies. The customer chooses the categories they need, and CodeUA offers the performers. In the future, we will add an AI assistant that will search for the most suitable options.

    For Ukrainian CodeUA companies, this is an opportunity to find new partnerships, attract investments, or sign lucrative contracts. As a result, it will affect the export economic performance of the industry and the growth of the IT share in the country's GDP.

    Our IT specialists create cool solutions that are used by millions of people around the world. Ryanair, Cisco Motorola, Volvo, and Volkswagen all have one thing in common: they use Ukrainian code, so we need to see more of these cases. We need to create the most favorable conditions for the development of tech businesses to turn Ukraine into a hub of technological innovation. CodeUA is already available here – https://codeua.com. Making Ukrainian code known to the whole world, and the digital economy the basis for supporting and further restoring the country

    “We will continue to adapt and adjust” aid – Blinken on US restrictions on strikes deep into Russia

    “We will continue to adapt and adjust” aid - Blinken on US restrictions on strikes deep into Russia

    US Secretary of State Blinken announced that the aid would be adapted to Ukraine's needs on the battlefield. The United States is ready to use every dollar of the $61 billion package and expects increased support from its allies.

    The United States and its partners are meeting many of the needs outlined in President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's "victory plan," and this was the subject of discussions with allies and partners on November 13 at NATO headquarters. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said this during a visit to Brussels, answering a question about the possibility of easing restrictions on long-range weapons strikes deep into Russia, UNN reports citing Voice of America.

    Details

    "The criterion for our assistance to Ukraine, starting in February 2022 and continuing until today, is to make sure that we adapt to Ukraine's needs as the battlefield changes, as what Russia is doing changes, where the front is, how the war is going, how the aggression is going. I am convinced that we will continue to adapt and adjust (the aid – ed.) as needed," Blinken said.

    The U.S. Secretary of State did not specifically answer questions about long-range weapons, but assured that the current administration is committed to further assistance to Ukraine.

    "The President [Biden] is committed to making sure that we put every dollar at our disposal, including the $61 billion package… And we are on our way to doing that. So the withdrawals that we can make from our military equipment will happen, and that's how the funds will move forward. This should ensure that Ukraine continues to get what it needs from us," Blinken emphasized.

    The US Secretary of State emphasized that support from allies and partners is equally important.

    "I am convinced, based on the conversations we have today and almost every day, that this support will continue, and not only that, I expect it to grow," Blinken summarized.

    The U.S. Secretary of State is in Brussels to discuss support for Ukraine in meetings with his NATO and EU counterparts.

    Giant ‘God of Darkness’ asteroid may not escape Earth unscathed – study

    Giant 'God of Darkness' asteroid may not escape Earth unscathed - study

    The asteroid 99942 Apophis will pass at a distance of 32,000 km from Earth in 2029. Gravitational interaction can cause seismic events on the asteroid and change its rotation.

    The giant asteroid "God of Chaos", or 99942 Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of darkness and disorder, may not pose a threat to the Earth, but this does not mean that the Earth is not a danger to it, ScienceAlert reports, according to UNN.

    Details

    "When the asteroid 99942 Apophis flies close to Earth in 2029, the gravitational interaction between the two bodies is likely to dramatically change the asteroid's surface," concluded a study conducted by planetary scientist Ronald Ballouz of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.

    The scientist believes that their findings may explain why some asteroids have a surface younger than would be expected from the time they rotate in space.

    "99942 Apophis is a defiant asteroid. After its discovery in 2004, scientists estimated that the 335-meter-long piece of rock's trajectory could potentially lead it to collide with Earth when it approaches in April 2029. It gave us a great scare! Fortunately, it was only fear. Scientists counted and recalculated the numbers and then counted them again for good measure. 99942 Apophis will fly less than 32,000 kilometers from Earth in 2029, but there is no chance that it will collide with our world in the next century," the publication says.

    But what about 99942 Apophis? Will it remain intact? As Ballouz and his team observed, near-Earth asteroids like 99942 Apophis tend to share two properties. Their surfaces are loose and gravelly; and they seem to show less weathering in space than asteroids that don't have near-planet flybys.

    Ballouz and his team wondered if there might be a connection between the younger appearance of near-Earth asteroids and their near-Earth antics.

    To find out, scientists have simulated the passage of 99942 Apophis by the Earth in 2029. And they found that the Earth's gravity could indeed have a noticeable effect on 99942 Apophis.

    Especially when the asteroid gets as close to Earth as possible. As it flies by, 99942 Apophis will shudder with a series of short-lived seismic events. These seismic events could be felt and cause magnitude accelerations on the surface, similar to the asteroid's gravity, the publication writes.

    The second effect will be more long-term. As the asteroid approaches the Earth, gravitational interaction can change the asteroid's rotation. Over time, as the asteroid continues to orbit the Sun, the surface may slide, renewing itself over tens of thousands of years.

    It is reported that the asteroid will be visible to the naked eye when it flies past the Earth.

    The study, accepted by The Planetary Science Journal, is available on arXiv.
