２０２２年１０月２７日（Thu.）16:30UP ： ロシア国民はプーチンに騙されているのです。愛国心で煽っていますが、真実はプーチンの権威主義、つまり権力の維持と金儲けが最大の目的です。２０兆円の個人資産がそれを物語っています。本当に愛国心や民族主義だけならば、もっと品行方正な暮らしになっていることでしょう。そうなっていません。（ニュースソース： RTE １０月２７日発 ）

Ukrainians hold out in east and prepare for battle in Kherson
＊
＊
Ukrainian troops are holding out against repeated attacks by Russian forces in two eastern towns while those on the southern front are poised to battle for the strategic Kherson region, which Russia appears to be reinforcing.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in any evening video address that there would be good news from the front but he gave no details.
He did not mention what was happening in Kherson in the south, which officials and military analysts have predicted will be one of the most consequential battles of the war since Russia invaded Ukraine eight months ago.
The most severe fighting in eastern Ukraine was taking place near Avdiivka, outside Donetsk, and Bakhmut, Mr Zelensky said.
"This is where the craziness of the Russian command is most evident. Day after day, for months, they are driving people to their deaths there, concentrating the highest level of artillery strikes," he said.
Russian forces have repeatedly tried to seize Bakhmut, which sits on a main road leading to the Ukrainian-held cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
The looming battle for Kherson city at the mouth of the Dnipro River will determine whether Ukraine can loosen Russia's grip on the south.
The Russian-appointed Kherson regional government said it had rebased to the left bank of the Dnipro, Russia's RIA news agency reported, as forces braced for an increase in fighting.
While authorities in Moscow-annexed Crimea said that a thermal power plant on the peninsula was targeted by an overnight drone attack, but was not badly damaged.
"Today at night there was a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) attack on the Balaklava thermal power station," the Russian-installed governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhayev said on Telegram.
"The transformer is minimally damaged. There were no casualties," he added.
The official said there was "no threat to power supply" and that "the incident does not affect the power supply of Sevastopol and the peninsula."
He said the transformer that caught fire during the supposed attack "was under maintenance and did not work".
"Workers at the plant quickly dealt with the fire," he added.
Moscow's forces fighting in Ukraine have in recent weeks hit the country's power supplies.

ロシア人は将来にわたって超絶な賠償負債を背負ってしまいました、既に。プーチンが如何なる言い訳をデッチ上げたとしても、このことは確定的で覆すことは出来ません。全てプーチンが始めた侵略ですから・・・。
