Despite the fact that the Ukrainian government considers its electrical system stabilized after the devastating Russian bombings last week, which left more than half of the country without electricity, water or heating amid temperatures already below zero, the authorities do not rule out a new wave of attacks.

"It is very likely that the beginning of the week will be marked by an attack of this type," said the spokeswoman for the southern military command, reporting the sighting of a Russian military ship loaded with missiles in the Black Sea.

The president, Volodímir Zelenski, also warned on Sunday that this week "could be just as difficult as last week."

In the capital, although basic supplies have almost completely recovered, the mayor, Vitali Klitschko, does not rule out "the worst scenario",

that would force a “partial” evacuation of the city if the power and water cuts persist.

Meanwhile, Russia has denied the information that this weekend spoke of a possible withdrawal of its troops from the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.

At the time, he has welcomed the Vatican's offer of mediation, but affirms that Ukraine's position makes dialogue impossible.

Brussels adds the violation of sanctions to the list of crimes in the EU

The European Council unanimously adopted this Monday the decision to add the violation of sanctions to the list of crimes in the territory of the Union. 

Brussels has approved eight packages of restrictive measures against Russia since the start of the offensive in Ukraine, but, until now, member states had different definitions of what constitutes a breach of sanctions and the consequences that this entailed. 

Following the adoption of this decision, the European Commission will present a proposal for a directive containing minimum standards regarding the definition of criminal offenses and sanctions for non-compliance with EU restrictive measures.

The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, hailed this Monday the Vatican's willingness to mediate to find a solution to the conflict in Ukraine, but has stated that kyiv's position makes dialogue impossible.

La Stampa

At the start of the war, the pontiff was criticized for being lukewarm and for not explicitly mentioning Russia or Vladimir Putin as responsible for the attack.

He later hardened his tone in messages and official appearances and began to speak clearly of an invasion or the intervention of a "superpower", as he did in his recent message for the World Day of the Poor.

He even made himself available to travel to kyiv to invoke peace.

The mayor of kyiv studies a possible "partial" evacuation of the capital due to power and water cuts

The mayor of kyiv, Vitali Klitschko, has affirmed this Monday that the authorities "do not rule out the worst scenario" due to the Russian attacks against the energy infrastructure of Ukraine and has pointed out that there could be a "partial" evacuation of the city if they persist. power and water outages.

“I do not rule out the worst scenario.

There won't be a full evacuation, maybe a partial one, but it wouldn't be called an evacuation.

It would be a temporary relocation of certain groups of people to the suburbs and places where services are available”, he pointed out in an interview with RBK-Ukraine.

Klitschko has demanded that the residents of the capital "consider different scenarios and be prepared", because "according to information from the Army, the enemy plans to carry out insidious attacks against the country's infrastructure to intimidate the Ukrainians with darkness and cold".

“It would be a big mistake if we didn't prepare for different scenarios.

If a year ago, at this time, someone had started saying what was going to happen in the future, about murder, war, rape and genocide, he would not have been described as a sane person.

To this day, it is the terrible and harsh reality, ”he argued.

The latest Iphone, Chanel perfumes or a Rolex: Western brands fill Russian shop windows despite sanctions

By Javier G. Cuesta from Moscow.

While kyiv faces winter in the dark due to the bombing of its power plants, Moscow is decked out with thousands of lights for the New Year holidays.

At first glance, the sanctions do not seem to have made a dent in the bright windows of its shopping centers.

Those who have money can afford to buy brands that had supposedly left Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.

European clothes, American electronics, fashionable perfumes, you can still find almost everything today, although more expensive.

The latest iPhone, a cappuccino in the 'new' Starbucks or an Inditex shirt, everything continues in shop windows whose lights sweeten a serious economic crisis.

Hundreds of people crowd the historic Gum shopping center, located next to Red Square.

Many official stores have closed, but other former distributors continue to sell their products.

The same is true of other large areas built in the heat of the boom years, such as the paradoxical Evropeiski (European, in Russian) in the kyiv station square, and in the touristic Novi Arbat street, where flashes of ice and neon signs illuminate its dozens of shops already decorated for Christmas.

There, the ultra-capitalist Black Friday is even advertised on a giant poster despite the Kremlin's staunch defense of its 'traditional values'.

Russia denies that its soldiers are going to abandon the Zaporizhia plant

The authorities installed by Russia in Ukraine have denied that Russian soldiers are going to withdraw from the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, as the Ukrainian state company that manages the plant had suggested.

Last week, the facility was the scene of new attacks and bombings for which kyiv and Moscow blame each other and which pose a certain risk of an atomic accident.

The UN has spent months negotiating with both parties to establish a demilitarized zone around the plant.

“The media is actively spreading the false news that Russia is allegedly planning to withdraw from Energodar [the city where the plant is located] and abandon the plant.

This information is not true,” the Russian-installed puppet administration in Zaporizhia province posted on Telegram. 

It was the response to statements by the CEO of Energoatom, who on Sunday stated that there were indications that the Russian forces present at the plant could be preparing to leave the facility, which they took in March, shortly after the start of the Russian invasion. . 

Since then, it has been controlled by Russia, although it has remained operated by Ukrainian employees.

Guarded, yes, by a contingent of soldiers installed in the huge complex.

Hence, Moscow and kyiv blame each other for the bombings at the plant.

According to the Ukrainian General Staff, local troops last week destroyed six units of Russian equipment, injuring around 30 Russian soldiers in fighting near the city of Energodar, also occupied by the Russians since the start of the invasion.

Kherson still under Russian attacks after liberation, UK says

The United Kingdom Ministry of Defense dedicates its latest intelligence report, issued this Monday, to the situation in the city of Kherson, in southern Ukraine, liberated from Russian occupation on November 11.

The city continues to be the target of shelling by Kremlin forces and 54 attacks were recorded yesterday alone. 

“The city is vulnerable because it is still within range of most of the Russian artillery systems, which now fire from the eastern bank of the Dnieper River, from the rear of the newly consolidated defensive lines,” London highlights.

Lessons in Ukraine to be a war reporter: blank explosions, tourniquets and minefields

A las afueras de Kiev hay un antiguo centro de colonias escolares reconvertido en campo de entrenamiento militar. Cada día, cientos de soldados entrenan allí tácticas de combate urbano, asaltos en el bosque y defensa desde las trincheras. Pero en este lugar también se desarrollan mensualmente cursos de emergencias para periodistas en los que estos aprenden a salvar una vida o a sortear minas. Pocos conflictos armados han sido cubiertos por tantos profesionales de la información: más de 12.700 periodistas, entre ucranios y extranjeros, han sido acreditados por las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania en los nueve meses que dura la guerra. Ocho periodistas han fallecido en la guerra en Ucrania mientras ejercían su profesión, según Reporteros Sin Fronteras —las autoridades ucranias elevan el número a más de 40 porque cuentan a los comunicadores que estaban combatiendo o que desempeñaban otras tareas—.

Las explosiones son de fogueo, pero el impacto que causan al oído es parecido al del fuego real. Los periodistas, 40 hombres y mujeres, tienen que simular que huyen de un municipio que está siendo atacado con obuses. El adiestramiento lo conducen dos veteranos militares. Gritan como si estuvieran dando órdenes a soldados: avisan al que comete un error como, por ejemplo, no mantener la distancia de cinco metros, en diagonal, respecto a su compañero. Hay que correr a gachas y de dos en dos, una distancia que asegura que por lo menos uno sobreviviría al impacto del proyectil. Luego llega el momento decisivo, aquel en el que uno tiene que caer herido y el otro le aplica la misión más importante en la medicina táctica, el torniquete y la evacuación a un espacio seguro.

Qué ha pasado en las últimas horas

En el 277 día de la guerra iniciada por Rusia contra Ucrania, estos son los datos clave a las 20.00 de este domingo 27 de noviembre:

  • El Gobierno ucranio anuncia que ha conseguido estabilizar el sistema energético del país. El primer ministro ucranio, Denis Shmihal, ha anunciado que los servicios de reparación han conseguido estabilizar el sistema energético de Ucrania, después de que los ataques rusos de esta semana dejaran a gran parte del país sin suministro eléctrico. Más de 1.000 técnicos trabajan a diario en la reparación de los daños, según la misma fuente, aunque todavía existe un déficit de producción de energía de alrededor del 20%.

  • La gestión del frío enfrenta a Zelenski y al alcalde de Kiev. La complicada gestión del invierno a la que se están enfrentando las autoridades de Ucrania ha generado una polémica entre el presidente Volodímir Zelenski y el alcalde de la capital, Vitali Klichkó. No es nada habitual que esto ocurra en un país que, cuando comenzó la invasión rusa el 24 de febrero, decidió aparcar las diferencias internas y aplazar de manera tácita las disputas políticas domésticas hasta después del conflicto armado. 
  • Ucrania sospecha que Rusia podría estar preparándose para abandonar la central de Zaporiyia. El jefe Energoatom, la empresa de energía nuclear de Ucrania, Petro Kotin, ha comunicado que "hay señales" de que las fuerzas rusas podrían estar preparándose para abandonar la central nuclear de Zaporiyia, que ocuparon en marzo, poco después del inicio de la guerra. "En las últimas semanas, estamos recibiendo información de que posiblemente se están preparando para abandonarla", ha dicho Kotin en la televisión nacional. Preguntado sobre si era precipitado hablar de que las tropas rusas abandonarán la central, Kotin ha afirmado: "Es demasiado pronto. No es lo que está pasando ahora, pero se están preparando para irse".
  • La situación en el frente de Donetsk está estancada, según la inteligencia británica. El Ministerio británico de Defensa ha detallado en su informe diario de inteligencia la situación de la guerra de Ucrania en el frente de Donetsk, al este del país. "El área alrededor de las ciudades de Pavlivka y Vuhledar, en el centro-sur de la provincia de Donetsk, ha sido el escenario de intensos combates durante las últimas dos semanas, aunque poco territorio ha cambiado de manos", se puede leer en el informe. Ambas partes tienen "fuerzas significativas" en este sector, aunque la infantería naval rusa ha sufrido "numerosas bajas".
