Daily Wrap Up October 10, 2022

Under the cut:

U.S. President Joe Biden pledged to Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States will provide Ukraine with advanced air systems after a devastating missile barrage from Russia

Russian missile strikes on Ukraine's power network caused blackouts in many parts of the country on Monday, deepening fears of outages this winter and prompting Kyiv to halt electricity exports.

Russian missile strikes on Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities killed at least 14 people and wounded 97 others on Monday, the Ukrainian State Emergency Service said. [Note: These numbers will continue to change as more information becomes available.]

The European Union has announced it will extend a bloc-wide protection scheme for Ukrainian refugees into 2024.

According to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, Russia’s Oct. 10 strike damaged five critical infrastructure, housing and communal services buildings, six educational institutions including three schools and a kindergarten, six cultural institutions, five healthcare facilities, two buildings hosting social institutions, and two administrative buildings

“U.S. President Joe Biden pledged to Ukraine President Volodomyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States will provide Ukraine with advanced air systems after a devastating missile barrage from Russia.

Biden spoke by phone with Zelenskiy to give assurances about continued U.S. support and to condemn the "senseless attacks" from Russia that hit civilian targets.

"President Biden pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems," a White House statement on the phone call said.

Biden also told Zelenskiy the United States and its allies and partners would continue imposing costs on Russia, "holding Russia accountable for its war crimes and atrocities, and providing Ukraine with security, economic, and humanitarian assistance," the White House said.

The United States has provided more than $16.8 billion worth of U.S. security assistance since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 and imposed a wide-ranging array of economic sanctions on Moscow over its actions in Ukraine.”-via Reuters

“Russian missile strikes on Ukraine's power network caused blackouts in many parts of the country on Monday, deepening fears of outages this winter and prompting Kyiv to halt electricity exports.

Attacks that killed at least 11 civilians and wounded 64 left four regions temporarily without electricity, and supplies were disrupted in several other areas, the State Emergency Service said.

Authorities in Kyiv asked civilians and businesses to limit energy use, and the energy ministry said it was halting electricity exports to the European grid after the biggest attack on the energy system since the war began in February.

Long queues formed at petrol stations in some areas.

"It is clear now that most of the missiles hit the power systems of different cities," Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy head of the presidential office, said on the Telegram messaging app.

He warned civilians that "you need to be prepared for the consequences of such shelling, up to rolling blackouts."

Power was later restored in Lviv in western Ukraine but it was not immediately clear when it would be fully back in the other regions without electricity - Ternopil in the west, Sumy in the northeast and Poltava in central Ukraine.

Kyiv city authorities called on residents and businesses to limit electricity consumption from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. and urged owners of advertising signs to turn off their lights during this time.

"We also appeal to Kyiv residents to refrain from using energy-consuming appliances whenever possible. Help the city survive critical loads on the power grid!" the municipal authorities said in a statement.”-via Reuters

“Russian missile strikes on Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities killed at least 14 people and wounded 97 others on Monday, the Ukrainian State Emergency Service said.

The strikes also knocked out power in the regions of Kyiv, Lviv, Sumy, Ternopil and Khmelnytsky, the agency said.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia launched more than 84 missile and air strikes. Ukraine claimed it intercepted 56 of the missiles and drones.

The military said around 20 Ukrainian settlements were hit.”-via CNN

“The European Union has announced it will extend a bloc-wide protection scheme for Ukrainian refugees into 2024.

Ukrainians in the EU who choose to return to their country will still be able to maintain their refugee status, as long as they notify the relevant EU country of their move, according to the EU’s home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson.

About 4.2 million Ukrainians currently held temporary protection status under the EU scheme, Johansson said.

The programme, which first came into effect on 4 March, gives them the right to live and work in any EU country and benefit from housing and schooling help.”-via The Guardian

Ukraine’s Kremenchuk Oil Refinery Under Fire as Russia Strikes

The current geopolitical conflict between Ukraine and Russia has taken a toll on the former’s oil industry, with the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery being at the forefront of the crisis. Located in central Ukraine, the facility is the country’s largest oil refinery and has been operating since the 1950s. However, the recent escalation of tensions between Ukraine and Russia, particularly the annexation of Crimea and the ongoing conflict in the Donbass region, has resulted in significant disruptions to the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery’s operations. In the latest development, Russia has launched a series of airstrikes on the facility, causing damage to the refinery’s infrastructure and putting its workers at risk. This attack has raised concerns about the impact on Ukraine’s oil industry, which is already struggling due to the ongoing conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. In this blog post, we will examine the background of the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery, the impact of the recent airstrikes, and the implications for Ukraine’s

Another update on Dnipro attack. CW for disturbing video.

Rescue efforts are winding down in Dnipro as chances of finding anyone alive are almost none. A few still remain missing but may have been taken to hospital and just not identified yet.

This is footage taken shortly after the hit.

Death toll is now at 44, 5 are children.

Edit:

As I was writing this the death toll rose to 45. The newest death is a child. Bringing the total of children confirmed killed to 6.

79 injured. 16 are children.

15 remain unidentified. 20, including 4 children still missing.

5 children lost their parents and are orphaned.

These are the kids who died as a result of Russia's attack on a residential building in Dnipro.

This will probably be my last update on this attack.

About the missile:

The missiles used are X-22 cruise missile. Old Soviet era produced, and intended to attack large targets, primarily war ships, and so are not very precise.

Russia doesn't have too many of them but when used, they are extremely hard to intercept with any means Ukraine currently has. They basically have to have air defence right next to the target to have any chance. Only one such attack was shot down by Ukraine so far.

It was the same type used to attack the Mall in Kremenchuk where 20 people were killed and 80 wounded. Then on the Serhiivka resort in Odesa, killing 21 people and injuring 56.

Notice that none of these are military points on any front line.

So far Russia has used them almost entirely on civilian targets.

Missiles meant for strikes in wide open areas on large military and armoured targets are being used against civilian areas.

The Patriot systems Ukraine has been asking for have a higher potential to stop these. Ukraine has been asking for them for months. Finally it seems US is willing. But it will take weeks to get them and train locals to use them. Apparently the Dnipro attack was in response to US announcing the intent on delivering better air defense.

At least 81 people might still be alive if the world just gave Ukraine what they asked for sooner.

I try to be understanding about their fears and hesitations, I really do. But every attack that had a better chance of being survivable had Ukraine been given what it needed earlier and which are being given now, just makes my anger and resentment grow.

[lengthofropes]

Meanwhile, on russian TV they enjoy their recent terrorist attack on Dnipro city, and promise some more.

On January 14, 2023, five X-22 cruise missiles were launched over the territory of Ukraine. One of the missiles hit a residential building in the city of Dnipro.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine still have no weapons capable of shooting down this type of missile. (!!!) Since the beginning of russia's military aggression, more than 210 missiles of this type have been launched on the territory of Ukraine [ On June 27, 2022, one of the X-22 missiles hit the Amstor shopping center in Kremenchuk ]. Not one was shot down by means of anti-aircraft defense.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, the Tiasmyn River (Річка Тясмин) in Kirovohrad Oblast. It's a right tributary of the Dnipro River and is 100 miles long. It starts in Kirovohrad Oblast, then flows through Cherkasy Oblast until it flows into the Kremenchuk Reservoir. A few of the cities on the river are Kamianka, Smila, and Chyhyryn. Even though it flows for 100 miles from its source to its delta, due to the river making a 180-degree U-turn, its source and delta are only 21 miles apart. There's also some important archaeological sites along the river of the Chernoles Culture, also known as the Black Forest Culture. That was an Iron Age Culture dating from 1025-700 BC that was located in the forest-steppe area between the Dnipro and Dnister Rivers.

Winter is coming, which means 🇺🇦 needs our help more than ever. This time, to stay warm.

Volunteers from Kremenchuk (people I know personally who have been volunteering since 2014) are supplying the troops with trench stoves, perfectly handy in such circumstances.

You can read about the initiative (using Google translate), or watch a video on YouTube.

Last week the first hundred has been collectively funded. Next goal is to have twice as much 🥹

On the pic attached you can see the first forty “baby stoves” that are ready to be sent to fronlines as well as my dad, one of those volunteers.

The goal: 85,000 UAH (2,300 USD).

👉 You can donate here.

👉 Or to my kofi.

Thank you! Slava Ukraini!

this year broke my heart and left it lying in pieces. the worst thing one can imagine become daily news reports. death, ruins, destruction, that godforsaken air-raid siren, constant fear and anxiety but there were also love and hope, pride and joy - there was everything.

i would never forget that day, the shaking of my hands and worried voices of my parents. that first week or two when you don’t know what will happen next. than there were 5 month of daily volunteering through which I hopefully helped people who needed it the most.

there were also two semesters of uni, the interest in which I lost a long time ago but still couldn’t dare to let it go. there is now only one semester left and I will be a bachelor, what happens next? who knows? I hate myself for thinking the worst, for not knowing what to do with myself, not trying in general - I will try to change it, I will, I must.

this year was one that almost gave a reason to keep going. those tragedies became a point of no return - my worldview changed completely. there are things that will haunt me for the rest of my life and there were people who will be with me forever.

the only thing I want to talk about now is my country. my beloved motherland. my people. my greatest support. my steel. nobody believed in us, no one thought we would withstand but we did. as we always do. we showed the world what courage looks like, what actually great culture looks like - the one that blossoms even under the rocket fires not the one that destroys museums and theatres - what great people look like.

I’m eternally grateful to all of the defenders for everything: for every lived moment, for every eaten meal and coffee, for every read book and concert. you give everything and much more for our future and all I hope for is that my support is at least a ted helpful.

eternal glory to all the fallen heroes. to everyone who gave their lives for peaceful and victorious Ukraine.

there were so many things that keep appearing inside my brain right now. that first zelenskyy address on 24th. bucha and irpin’. me and my friend making the most random playlist during the night because we just couldn’t sleep. azovstal’ and mariupol. roman ratushnyi. eurovision win. kremenchuk. vinnytsia. when I started watching football again. kharkiv. mykolaiv. liberated kherson. mass graves in izium. our soldier castrated and shot by russians. bavovna in belgorod. olenivka. patron the dog. bakmut. first hug with my friend from kyiv. severodonetsk. return of mariupol defenders. ukrainian football even with the air threat. finished course paper during the blackouts. sunflowers. my skies covered in smoke. cyber bullying of russians. zhadan as leitmotif. pain. so much pain. and hatred. unfathomable hatred toward everything russian.

that is not even the whole list. hopefully next year will be more about love and joy than about pain and hate but even if the world has something more in stall for Ukraine and Ukrainians - we will withstand. that’s it, nothing less, nothing more.

thank you for everyone here who was engaged in our own informational warfare. thank you for sharing information and donations, thank you for kind word and constant support and also thank you to those anons that thought that Ukrainian thick skin could be pierced with cruel words and propaganda stories - everything was well and truly appreciated.

love you all. here is to victorious 2023. victorious for the one who doesn’t give up, victorious for the fighters and warriors and for those who stands on their side. to the other side of the world: you will lose. shamefully and disgracefully without a single droplet of tears from us.

glory to Ukraine! ❤️

No but like. She has a portrait of Shevchenko. She made House learn her brother's name as Fedir, not rus Fyodor, the queen is from Kremenchuk?
