The UK is slapping new sanctions on Iran for supplying Russia with “kamikaze” drones used to bombard Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said
A senior Ukrainian official says that Russian forces’ “task number one” is to hold the southern frontline.The Russians are digging in and sending more resources in hopes of holding off the Ukrainian forces pushing toward Kherson, said Oleksii Hromov, a top official with the military’s General Staff.
A Russian air strike that hit a major thermal power station in the city of Burshtyn in western Ukraine on Wednesday has caused "quite serious" damage, the region's governor said on Thursday.
Water supply has been cut off in Sumy Oblast on Oct. 20, said the oblast governor, Dmytro Zhyvytskyi. Electric public transports and street lights are not working either. The governor added that if local businesses and private consumers "reduce electricity consumption (today), they will help Ukraine's energy system withstand and avoid blackouts in the future."
“The UK is slapping new sanctions on Iran for supplying Russia with “kamikaze” drones used to bombard Ukraine, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said.
In a statement, Cleverly accused Iran of “warmongering” by profiting off of “Russia’s abhorrent attacks on Ukrainian citizens and adding to the suffering of the people and the destruction of critical infrastructure.”
The new sanctions match measures agreed to by the EU on Thursday, targeting three individuals and one business responsible for providing drones to Moscow.
Subject to asset freezes and travel bans are:
Maj. Gen. Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, the chairman of the armed forces general staff
Brig. Gen. Seyed Hojjatollah Qureishi, the key Iranian negotiator in the deal that has provided Russia with the Iranian-produced drones
Brig. Gen. Saeed Aghajani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a branch of the Iranian armed forces.
One entity — Aerospace Force UAV Command — reported to have been in the temporarily controlled territories of Ukraine advising Russian forces on how to use the drones, is also subject to an asset freeze.
More context: Iran has denied supplying weapons to Russia despite evidence to the contrary. CNN reported Tuesday that Iran has sent military personnel to Russian-occupied territory inside Crimea to train and advise the Russian military on the use of their drones, according to two sources familiar with US intelligence.
A spokesperson for the Iranian mission at the United Nations said “Iran does not confirm this claim and rejects it.”
“These cowardly drone strikes are an act of desperation. By enabling these strikes, these individuals and a manufacturer have caused the people of Ukraine untold suffering. We will ensure that they are held to account for their actions,” Cleverly said.”-via CNN

“A senior Ukrainian official says that Russian forces’ “task number one” is to hold the southern frontline.
The Russians are digging in and sending more resources in hopes of holding off the Ukrainian forces pushing toward Kherson, said Oleksii Hromov, a top official with the military’s General Staff.
“The enemy plans to fulfill this task with the help of the first wave of the partial mobilization and by increasing the number of their troops on the west bank of the Dnipro River,” he said, referring to a key waterway where fighting has recently taken place on both banks.
Hromov suggested there were now more than 40 Russian battalion tactical groups in the Kherson region. Each group usually comprises some 1,000 personnel.
Why this region is key:
“For Putin’s regime, the south direction — Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv — has strategic meaning from the point of view of preserving the land corridor to Crimea and water supply to the peninsula, as well as creating a future bridgehead for the capture of Mykolaiv and Odesa regions, depriving Ukraine of the status of a maritime state,” Hromov said.
In his own statement, the Russia-backed head of Crimea stressed the region’s importance to Moscow and its appointed leaders in occupied Ukraine.
“Our common position is that the protection of Kherson region will ensure the security of the Republic of Crimea. To that end, we will continue to take all necessary measures, including providing maximum assistance to the troops and law enforcement units on the front lines,” Sergey Aksenov said Thursday.”-via CNN

About 1 million people live in Sumy Oblast.
On Oct. 20, Ukrainians in all regions are urged to reduce their consumption of electricity from 7 am to 11 pm, with more regular blackouts a realistic scenario if it isn’t sufficiently lowered, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the President’s Office.

“Ukraine’s state energy supplier Ukrenergo said on Thursday it had been “forced” to implement restrictions on electricity use in the capital Kyiv and other central regions because of a rapid increase in consumption there.
“The level of electricity consumption is rapidly increasing in the central regions of Ukraine. The ‘Ukrenergo’ dispatch center is forced to introduce a temporary controlled restriction of electricity consumption in this region,” it said in a post on Facebook. “We ask the residents of Kyiv and the Kyiv region, Chernihiv region, Cherkasy region and Zhytomyr region to urgently reduce their electricity consumption! This will help reduce the load on power grids and give energy companies time to repair equipment damaged by terrorist attacks.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky had appealed to Ukrainians to reduce their energy consumption from 7 a.m. local time on Thursday, but the restrictions were voluntary and not enforced.
Ihor Taburets, the head of the Cherkasy regional military administration, confirmed on Telegram that there would be “emergency power outages” in the region “to stabilize the operation of the country’s power grid.”
The electricity supply to “socially important facilities” would be maintained, he added.
On Thursday morning, the Kyiv region military administration had posted a schedule of potential power outages in the event that Ukrenergo needed to balance the power grid.”-via CNN
