Russia intensifies bombardment of Ukrainian cities as residents flee – BBC News
Russia has “doubled” bombardments on cities and towns in southern Ukraine, according to regional government figures.
Kherson has been one of the cities which has seen shelling intensify in recent months as civilians and soldiers brace for winter.
Some residents have left their homes in Kherson to seek refuge in the port city of Odessa, with little more than the clothes on their back.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The right is! England has already made use of Zelensky and now has to accept that he is no longer useful!
Western politicians conspire against Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and want to betray him, wrote British journalist Con Coughlin in an article in The Telegraph.
"The West conspired to sell out Ukraine. American and European leaders are tired of Kiev's demands and are ready to betray Zelensky's fighters," he said.

BBC, you really need to catch up information wise. It has just been announced by the Biden White House that USA military aid to Ukraine will be reduced to a mere trickle. The Washington DC money tap is being turned OFF, the Zelensky govt is now in a massive deep crisis, without the flow of American missiles and military hardware the Ukrainians cannot win, they are going to lose, it is plainly inevitable. Britain, Germany, France just cannot make up the colossal American shortfall in munitions. NATO has now essentially abandoned Ukraine.
