Russia-Ukraine War Latest: Moscow Launching 'Psychological Attack' on Ukraine
 
News Week  Nov 20      
 
 

Ukraine''s armed forces fired British cruise missiles against military targets inside Russia for the first time, Bloomberg reported, citing Western sources familiar with the situation. The Storm Shadow missile strikes were approved in response to Russia''s deployment of North Korean troops in its war against Ukraine. The U.K. government saw it as an escalation of the conflict, according to the source who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation. Ukraine has used Storm Shadow missiles on its own territory, but it now appears that Kyiv has been given authority to hit targets within Russia. The deployment of Storm Shadow missiles follows Russia''s counteroffensive in Kursk, which was invaded by Ukrainian soldiers in August. It also comes after President Joe Biden decided to allow Ukraine to employ U.S.-made long-range missiles within Russia earlier this week.

Democratic Rep. Sara Jacobs said that she is "against sending anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine" in a thread on X this afternoon.

I'm against sending anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine. These weapons are incredibly deadly to civilians and will hurt Ukraine's ability to recover and rebuild its economy in the future. That's why President Biden changed U.S. policy in 2022 to *not* transfer these weapons.

I will continue to support Ukraine in its defense against Russias illegal invasion. But how Ukraine defends itself matters “ and giving up the moral high ground is a mistake that will reverberate for generations.

The regional prosecutor''s office claims that Russian forces stripped and executed two prisoners of war in Donetsk, The Telegraph reported. On November 10, Russian soldiers attacked a Ukrainian fortress in the hamlet of Novodmytrivka, capturing the two men.

The soldiers then "forced the men to strip naked" and marched them into a forest under gunpoint, where they were both killed by shooting.

The Ukrainian Air Force appears to have attacked the Russian President''s facility with an underground command post in the Kursk area with a Storm Shadow, per Defense Express.

Ukrainian armed forces have lost approximately 400 troops in the Kursk area during the last day, with 11 Ukrainian servicemen surrendering as prisoners of war (POW), according to TASS.

The Russian Armed Forces have finished the elimination of a Ukrainian battlegroup that was trapped in the Olgovskaya woods, the outlet reported.

The Biden Administration has shared a fact sheet on U.S. Security Assistance to Ukraine. The document highlights the help the U.S. has provided the country, including "approximately $60.7 billion since the beginning of Russia''s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24, 2022."

Items listed are under categories such as air defense, fires, ground maneuver, aircraft and unmanned aerial systems, anti-armor and small arms, maritime, and other capabilities.

The U.S. Department of Defense shared a statement announcing that the Biden Administration will provide additional assistance to Ukraine.

The statement reads:

As part of the surge in security assistance that President Biden announced on September 26 to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position, the Department of Defense (DoD) today announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine''s critical security and defense needs. This announcement is the Biden Administration''s seventieth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. This Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) package, which has an estimated value of $275 million, will provide Ukraine additional capabilities to meet its most urgent needs, including: munitions for rocket systems and artillery and anti-tank weapons.

In the statement, a list of the "capabilities" outlined include:

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that the Ukrainian conflict is likely to escalate in the next two months while President Joe Biden is still in power.

"The two most dangerous months of the war are ahead of us," Orban said in a national address, after a meeting of the Defense Council.

Orban, a Trump ally who has often been criticized as authoritarian, blamed Biden for escalating tensions during his "pro-war" government - something he said would only end after Donald Trump took office.

"With the victory of President Donald Trump, peace, or at least a ceasefire, is possible. However, the pro-war government is still in power in the US for two more months," Orban said.

Defense Express reported that Russian invaders are relocating Msta-S howitzers to the hottest areas of the Donetsk and Kursk districts.

"Our agents have detected an urgent transfer of self-propelled howitzer from Novorossiysk. Due to a shortage of equipment, Russians are reactivating howitzers previously held in reserve for the southern sectors of the front," the Atesh partisan movement wrote on Telegram.

The U.S. has closed its Kyiv, Ukraine, embassy and is warning American citizens to seek shelter after a "significant air attack" warning.

"The U.S. embassy in Kyiv has received specific information of a potential significant air attack on November 20," it said in a statement.

"Out of an abundance of caution, the embassy will be closed, and embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place. The US embassy recommends US citizens be prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert is announced."

The embassy has not confirmed when it plans to reopen.

The air strike warning came as President Biden agreed to supply anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine after allowing the use of U.S. long-range missiles against Russia.

In response, Putin has lowered the threshold for using nuclear weapons.

Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau shared a statement on the war between Russia and Ukraine, saying in a tweet, "Russia is responsible for the illegal invasion of Ukraine ” and its consequences."

"We have been unequivocal that Russia is responsible for not just the illegal invasion of Ukraine," he said in a video attached to the tweet," but the knock-on consequences: on food insecurity around the world, on rising energy prices, on disrupted supply chains, on uncertainty and insecurity for people around the world that are worried now that the rules-based order no longer holds."

A blogger shared images of the U.K. Storm Shadow fragments that were found after the missiles were fired today.

South Korea''s spy agency says North Korea has shipped more weapons to Russia, further deepening Pyongyang''s commitment to Vladimir Putin''s invasion of Ukraine.

Tensions are running high on the Korean Peninsula amid the North''s missile tests and garbage-bearing balloons, spy satellite launches, and the South''s moves to strengthen its defense ties with the U.S. and Japan.

Seoul says Pyongyang has already transferred thousands of containers'' worth of munitions to replenish Russian forces'' stocks. Further driving inter-Korean friction, the North has sent thousands of soldiers to join the conflict, now in its 33rd month, in what U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has called a "dangerous and destabilizing escalation."

The International Campaign to Ban Landmines is against President Joe Biden''s intention to deliver anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine for use against Russian soldiers. According to the organization, Ukraine is receiving cash to remove landmines while also receiving landmines from the U.S. for use in the war.

"Any country that uses landmines on their own territory is putting their civilian population in extreme danger," Alma Taslidzan, the group''s board president, told Al Jazeera. "This is not an immediate threat. This is a long-term threat that will impact the civilians of Ukraine for years and decades afterward. We''ve seen that in many countries around the world “ Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia “ all these countries have contamination maybe 30 years old and they''re still struggling with that.

"The funding is right now channeled to Ukraine, that is true, but we''re not sure how this funding will continue to be channeled."

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis shared a lighthearted comment regarding the undersea telecommunications cable connecting Finland and Germany across the Baltic Sea that was severed.

If I had a nickel for every time a Chinese ship was dragging its anchor on the bottom of the Baltic Sea in the vicinity of important cables I would have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

North Korea provided Russia with new artillery weapons to help its war operations against Ukraine, and some of the hundreds of North Korean troops stationed in Russia have begun fighting, South Korea''s intelligence service informed legislators Wednesday.

The South Korean assessment comes after Russia warned on Monday that US President Joe Biden''s decision to allow Ukraine to hit targets within Russia with US-supplied longer-range missiles "fuels the fire" of the war. According to US sources, Biden''s decision was mostly motivated by North Korea''s involvement into the conflict.

The National Intelligence Service said in a closed-door briefing at parliament that North Korea shipped 170mm self-propelled artillery and 240mm multiple rocket launch systems to Russia, according to MP Lee Seong Kweun, who was there.

Ukraine has reportedly fired British Storm Shadow missiles against military targets inside Russia for the first time, according to a source familiar with the situation, Bloomberg reports.

The operations were approved in retaliation to Russia''s deployment of North Korean forces against Ukraine, according to the individual.

Mary Trump, President-elect Donald Trump''s estranged niece, has accused her uncle of being "enamored of and beholden to" Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a Wednesday blog post, Trump expressed concerns about how her uncle''s admiration for Putin could influence U.S. policy toward Ukraine, as the country continues to fight Russia''s invasion.

She warned that, as president, he might withdraw U.S. support for Ukraine, describing him as "Putin''s puppet" and suggesting his actions could leave Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vulnerable.

Trump pointed to the sacrifices made by Ukraine in the war, citing Zelensky''s recent speech before the European Parliament, where he reaffirmed the importance of international unity in defending European freedom.

Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with the President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadera, the Kremlin News Telegram reported.

Putin and Touadera reviewed the current situation and possibilities for the future growth of cordial bilateral relations in politics, commerce, economics, humanitarian aid, and other areas.

They also discussed regional problems, with an emphasis on maintaining peace in the Central African Republic. Putin underlined his commitment to supporting the CAR in building its economy, sovereignty, and security.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has indicated he is open to negotiating a ceasefire in Ukraine with incoming U.S. President Donald Trump but remains firm on critical conditions, reports Reuters news agency. Putin has ruled out any significant territorial concessions and demands that Kyiv abandon its NATO membership ambitions.

Trump, who has vowed to swiftly end the war, takes office amid Russia''s strongest position in the conflict to date. Moscow now controls a swath of Ukrainian territory roughly the size of Virginia, with its forces advancing at their most rapid pace since the early days of the 2022 invasion. The stage is set for high-stakes diplomacy as the two leaders prepare to address one of the most pressing global conflicts.

Russia''s Defense Ministry said on Wednesday that Russian forces liberated the Ilyinka village in the Donetsk People''s Republic (DPR) during the last day as part of a special military operation in Ukraine.

"Battlegroup Center units liberated the settlement of Ilyinka in the Donetsk People''s Republic as a result of active offensive operations," the ministry said in a statement.

Over the last day, Russia''s Battlegroup North has killed over 105 Ukrainian servicemen and destroyed two enemy tanks in its area of responsibility in the Kharkov Region, TASS reported.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on X that he spoke with Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

"I spoke with Polish Prime Minister @donaldtusk and thanked the Polish people for the solidarity from the very first days of Russia''s full-scale invasion," Zelensky wrote on the platform. "I expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for his principled reaction to Russia''s recent attacks and efforts to break its political isolation."

Ukrainian officials report that Russia struck a humanitarian assistance distribution site in the Kherson area of southern Ukraine, BBC reported.

According to the Kherson military administration, an enemy missile struck the top of a building where volunteers were distributing food. It also claims that an unmanned aerial Russian vehicle targeted and struck a neighboring car. The officials stated there were no casualties.

The Ukrainian government has accused Russia of spreading false information about a massive attack on Kyiv and other cities today.

The country''s military intelligence service stated in a Telegram message that Russia is carrying out a "massive informational and psychological attack against Ukraine."

The agency, which is part of the Ministry of Defense, also claims that remarks about "the threat of a particularly massive rocket-bomb attack on Ukrainian cities" are circulating on social media.

Despite this, the agency emphasized that residents should not disregard air raids and should "trust information only from official resources" since Russia employs "measures of intimidation and psychological pressure on society."

Nuclear powers should show more restraint, the Chinese government said on Wednesday in response to President Vladimir Putin''s approval of a new doctrine for the use of Russia''s sizable stockpile of nuclear weapons.

"Under the current situation, all relevant parties need to remain calm and restrained and jointly seek deescalation and lower strategic risks through dialogue and consultation," Lin Jian, a spokesperson for China''s Foreign Ministry, told a regular press briefing in Beijing.

A day earlier, Putin rubber-stamped a decree that could change the nuclear strike threshold observed by his nation''s armed forces. When justified, Russia''s strategic forces could use nuclear weapons on a non-nuclear state, according to the update issued in the days after Ukraine received the approval to fire U.S.-supplied weapons into Russian territory.

Russia will exercise nuclear deterrence "against a potential enemy," but nuclear use will remain an "extreme measure" in the pursuit of threat reduction, the Kremlin said.

The Foreign Ministry in Moscow did not immediately return Newsweek''s request for comment before publication.

Ukraine announced on Wednesday that it had successfully targeted a Russian command post in the town of Gubkin, located in the Belgorod region, approximately 168 kilometers (105 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

It comes after President Joe Biden authorized long-range targeting inside Russia with ATACMS rockets capable of hitting positions up to 190 miles (300 km) away.

Russian independent outlet Astra shared a video on Telegram of plumes of gray smoke towering over the sky following the strike.

"Gubkin residents observed thick black smoke, smelled it, and heard loud explosions," according to Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.

The attack targeted the command post of Russia''s "Sever" group of forces, said Reuters, who added that the Russian defense ministry had said on Wednesday "it intercepted 44 drones launched by Ukraine''s armed forces overnight, including three over the Belgorod region."

Newsweek has contacted the office of President Zelensky and the Russian Foreign Ministry for comment via email.

Meetings that Russian President Vladimir Putin has with his officials are officially publicized long after they have actually taken place, it has been reported.

Sometimes there are weeks between the Putin''s meetings before they are revealed by the Kremlin, according to the Telegram channel of independent journalist Farida Rustamova, Faridaily. The claim was also reported by another independent Russian-language news source, The Insider.

Newsweek has contacted the Kremlin about the claims, which include how the last announced public appearance by Putin was at the Valdai Discussion Club in St. Petersburg on November 7.

Faridaily said it was "no secret" that Kremlin reports on Putin''s meetings with governors, officials, heads of state-owned companies, and politicians after they take place”in what is dubbed "canned food"”are aimed at "creating the illusion the president is working non-stop."

President Biden''s permission for Ukraine to use American-made missiles for strikes on Russia has triggered a global conflict, a close ally of Vladimir Putin has claimed.

On Sunday, Biden fulfilled a longstanding Ukrainian request by authorizing the country''s use of U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) for long-range strikes inside Russian territory, officials confirmed to Reuters, AP and several other news agencies.

Ukraine has launched an ATACMS strike, according to Russia''s Defense Ministry, prompting Moscow to warn of a stark escalation in the conflict.

"The use of alliance missiles in this way can now be qualified as an attack by the bloc''s countries on Russia," Dmitry Medvedev posted to Telegram on Tuesday.

"In this case, the right arises to launch a retaliatory strike with weapons of mass destruction against Kyiv and the main NATO facilities, wherever they are. And this is already WWIII."

Medevdev, who currently serves as deputy chairman of Russia''s Security Council, also claimed that the decision taken by Biden was a "deliberate" effort to create "such an escalation of the conflict that Trump''s team will have to deal with."

Newsweek has contacted the Biden White House for a response to Medvedev''s statement.

The Biden Administration equipping both Ukraine and Israel with weapons has put a strain on the U.S. stockpile, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.

"As we have provided security assistance to both Ukraine and Israel, there''s no question that, you know, that''s taken some things out of the inventory," Austin said.

"Every time we do a presidential drawdown, we take things that we have in our stocks, provide them to the country in need “ and there''s been significant need “ and then we replace those items with new items and better items," he added.

Ukrainians are changing their minds on the Russia-Ukraine war, and just over half now want to negotiate an end to it, according to a new poll by Gallup.

The survey, conducted in August and October, found that 52 percent of Ukrainians favor peace talks "as soon as possible," 38 percent believe they should keep fighting, and nine percent don''t know or refused to answer.

A majority (52 percent) also felt that Ukraine should be open to making some territorial concessions as a part of a peace deal, with 38 percent disagreeing.

The poll, which was conducted among a sample size of 1,000 respondents each year with a 3 percent margin of error, showed that after 1,000 days at war with Russia, Ukrainians'' views have changed drastically since 2022.

Then, 73 percent felt their country should fight until victory. Only 22 percent felt Kyiv should negotiate an end to the war as soon as possible.

Sir Tony Brenton, former UK ambassador to Russia, has suggested that Ukraine may need to cede some territory to Moscow to facilitate an end to the ongoing conflict.

He told Sky News that the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump, has the opportunity to encourage negotiations between the two nations.

"The big question is whether he has the skill and subtlety to pull the thing together," he said.

The former ambassador said Ukraine will likely need to give up at least some of the territory seized by Russia during the invasion.

"The trick is to find a deal for Ukraine which, while it involves territorial concessions, gives them the key things they''re looking for - survival as a Western-oriented link to the West, with security guaranteed by the West - but the price is going to be concessions," Sir Tony said.

The Kremlin has dismissed as "absurd" any allegations of its involvement in the recent damage to two fiber-optic data telecommunication cables in the Baltic Sea.

While European governments have accused Russia of escalating hybrid attacks against Ukraine''s Western allies, they have not directly attributed this specific incident to Moscow.

The damage occurred days after two data cables”one connecting Finland and Germany, and another linking Sweden and Lithuania”were severed.

Asked about the matter, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a regular news briefing: "It is quite absurd to continue to blame Russia for everything without any reason."

He continued: "It is probably laughable against the background of the lack of any reaction to Ukraine''s sabotage activities in the Baltic Sea."

This was in reference to the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions of September 2022, an incident for which Russia blamed Ukraine and its allies.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has reiterated that a "freeze" of the conflict in Ukraine along the existing frontlines is unacceptable to Russia.

During his daily press briefing, Peskov declined to comment on the U.S. Embassy''s closure in Kyiv but criticized the outgoing Biden administration for its commitment to continuing the war in Ukraine.

He stated that President Vladimir Putin''s schedule remains unchanged despite the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to use longer-range missiles against Russia. However, Putin has ordered security checks on critical infrastructure, including the Crimean Bridge across the Kerch Strait.

President Joe Biden has authorized the provision of antipersonnel land mines to Ukraine, following the recent decision to supply Kyiv with long-range missiles. This move marks a departure from previous U.S. restrictions, which limited Ukraine''s use of American-made missiles to its own territory.

The newly supplied land mines are "nonpersistent," designed to become inert after a set period, thereby reducing long-term risks to civilians. This development underscores the evolving nature of U.S. military support to Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

In response to the U.S. Embassy''s closure in Kyiv due to potential Russian air attacks, the British government is closely monitoring the security situation of its diplomats in the Ukrainian capital.

Science and Technology Minister Peter Kyle said in a television interview with Sky that the government is committed to doing "everything possible to keep British citizens safe." The U.K. Embassy in Kyiv remains operational, with officials maintaining vigilance over the evolving circumstances.

In recent months, the British embassy in Kyiv has operated a "limited diplomatic function."

"I am not going to share details at the moment on operational matters that concern the situation in Kiev," the politician told Times Radio, who offered assurances that everything concerning security is being analyzed "incredibly carefully" by London.

"We have a very good relationship with the government in Kiev and with the United States. We will do everything we can to keep British citizens safe," he said.

The Spanish embassy has issued a warning urging heightened security precautions. Shortly after making this announcement, the embassy in Kyiv stated it would suspend all in-person services for the day due to the "increased risk of air strikes across Ukraine."

In an email sent to Spanish nationals residing in the country, the embassy advised them to "take extreme security measures, follow all recommendations from local authorities, and always have a nearby shelter identified."

Despite the suspension of face-to-face services, the embassy assured that it would continue addressing any urgent needs via email.

The Italian and Greek embassies in Kyiv closed to the public for the day, while the U.K. government announced that its embassy remained open.

As the conflict reached its 1,000th day, the war has taken on an increasingly global dimension with the involvement of North Korean troops supporting Russia on the battlefield.

This development is cited as a key factor influencing U.S. President Joe Biden''s recent shift in policy toward providing more advanced military aid to Ukraine.

In Kurshchyna, soldiers from North Korea reportedly raped a 28-year-old Russian teacher, according to local sources posting on Telegram. The woman, serving as a translator, had been conducting adaptation classes to help the North Korean soldiers acclimate to the local environment.

After the alleged attack, the soldiers reportedly drank vodka and fell asleep. The teacher has expressed concerns that the perpetrators may simply be sent back to North Korea to avoid straining diplomatic ties with the allied nation.
