Biden and Erdogan met at G20 summit: They discussed "grain initiative"

US Presidents Joe Biden and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the Black Sea Grain Initiative and the need for its continuation during a meeting within the framework of the G20 summit.

At G20 summit, consensus on condemning Russian invasion of Ukraine is gaining strength, - Scholz

At the G20 summit in Bali, there are encouraging signs of consensus that Russia’s war against Ukraine is unacceptable.

This was stated by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Censor.NET reports with reference to Reuters.

He also noted that an agreement could be reached on the fact that nuclear weapons should not be used.

"It's a consensus that's gaining strength here," Scholz told reporters in Bali.

When asked about the conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Scholz said: "He stood next to me and said a couple of sentences, that was the conversation."

In addition, the Chancellor of Germany said that he will continue the conversation with the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to find a solution to end the war against Ukraine. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3380680

Indian Prime Minister Modi called for negotiations and ceasefire in Ukraine

Speaking at the G20 summit in Bali on Tuesday morning, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for peace and diplomatic talks to end the Russia-instigated war in Ukraine.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform.

"I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of diplomacy and a ceasefire in Ukraine," Modi said, adding that the responsibility for creating a new world order in the post-war period "lies on our shoulders."

According to him, it is necessary to "demonstrate a concrete and collective determination to ensure peace, harmony, and security throughout the world."

It is worth noting that earlier India abstained during the UN votes condemning the Russian invasion, remaining outwardly "neutral". However, behind the scenes of world diplomacy, "Modi remains in constant contact with Putin," the publication writes. India is believed to have played a role in persuading Russia to open the grain corridor to ships carrying Ukrainian grain.

India will chair the G20 next year and host the summit. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3380687

Russian State TV Admits 'We Weren't Ready for the War That We Started'

Aguest on Russian state TV has said the country was not prepared for the war that started when President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February.

The acknowledgment came from the head of the Expert Council of Russia's Strategic Development Fund, Igor Shatrov, following Russia's retreat from the city of Kherson in southern Ukraine.

"We aren't seeing results," Shatrov said during an appearance on Mesto Vstrechi (Meeting Point), as he discussed the ongoing war with fellow guests.

An excerpt of the show was published on Twitter by Julia Davis, a columnist at The Daily Beast and creator of the Russian Media Monitor, which added English subtitles to the clip.

Russia's withdrawal from Kherson last week marked the third major retreat by Putin's troops since the start of the war on February 24.

Ukraine's defense intelligence agency said on November 11 that the city was being restored to Ukrainian control and called for any remaining Russian soldiers to surrender to its troops entering the city.

"We weren't ready for the war that we started," said Shatrov.

He also said Putin's refusal to call the conflict a war is hindering Russian progress in Ukraine.

"We keep calling it a 'special military operation'—we're too shy to call it a war, which is a huge problem. Because with war, other laws are in play," said Shatrov.

It's not the first time guests on Russian state TV have pointed to the country's military setbacks in the conflict.

Russian TV host and Putin ally Vladimir Solovyov, nicknamed "Putin's voice" for his stridently pro-Kremlin views, said on November 1 that officials thought the war "would be a lot easier."

"True, not everything is going smoothly, yes, we thought everything would be a lot easier," he said on his Total Contact show, while giving his thoughts on the war.

"Yes, we anticipated and they started negotiations which have been derailed because nobody needs the Ukrainian people," Solovyov continued.

The TV host suggested that the Ukrainian people "have to burn in the fire of this civil war, as the president [Putin] defined it."

"Because we are one people. This is a war of civilizations. This is a war between life and death. This is a war between good and evil," he added, repeating the Kremlin line that Russia and Ukraine are one nation.

Solovyov was the first propagandist to describe Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine as a "war." Before that, state propaganda had repeated the Kremlin's narrative that the conflict is a "special military operation" and not an "all-out war."

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the G-20 summit in Bali via video link on Tuesday that he believes Putin's war can "now be stopped."

Newsweek has reached out to Russia's foreign ministry for comment.

Russia launched another mass strike at Ukraine's energy infrastructure but meanwhile hit 3 residential buildings. Ukraine's presidential admin say the situation is "critical". Ukrenergo say they don't know the full extent of the damage, and emergency shutdowns are in place. So far 80 rockets have been launched over Ukraine and 20 of which are still in transit - Yuriy Ignat, spox for Ukraine's air defense. Ignat said on United News the total number of rockets exceeds the attack on Oct 10th. Suspilne has just reported explosions in Odesa, Mykolaiv. Russian strikes on the civilian energy infrastructure are aimed at terrorizing Ukrainians and bringing a perverted sense of joy via revenge to Putin and Russians in general. These strikes have zero tactical or strategical value and have zero effect on the Ukrainian military.

The Air Force of Ukraine reported that the number of missiles launched over Ukraine today exceeded the number on October 10. Now, this is the most massive missile attack. Almost every region of Ukraine is affected. The majority of Ukrainians don't have electricity anymore.

This is revenge for their own retreat of Kherson.

Are we facing WWIII now ?

Maybe, Maybe not

So far, the military conflict following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has remained within the borders of Ukraine. But it may not stay there — and if not, there’s a chance of a military faceoff between Russia and the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.

Now it's time for our authorities to keep calm and not overreact.

Edit
A Danish expert on NATO have written following on twitter
(translated)

Przewodow is less than 10 km from the border with Ukraine. This is mainly due to the lack of precision of the Russian cruise missiles. It will trigger a species. 5 discussion, but hardly more than that, given that it was apparently not a targeted attack.

This village is about 7-8 km from the border, according to Google Earth.

Shortly before Russia fires 85-100 missiles (various media sources give different numbers) in one salvo, Lavrov withdraws from the G20 summit.

Next, while the summit is still in progress, Putin fires this salvo of missiles.

Neither of these events is accidental, but planned. Who says that the two missiles on Poland are not planned...?

It could be Putin's way of showing the middle finger to the G20 summit and trying to create a conflict in NATO: a conflict over whether or not to respond to this attack on Poland.

The military and the intelligence agencies have many ways and options to look at this. And if they can identify the platform, the firing unit, NATO should strike against that unit, platform, base, whatever, with exactly the same number of warheads: two. And wipe it out.

When Putin communicates, we should communicate, too. And this language is perfectly understood by Russia. The problem is that many Westerners do not speak this language. And therein lies Putin's chance to divide and split NATO, at least to sow discord and dissension.

I do not believe for one second that these two missiles "strayed off".

^ On NATO territory.

Maybe an intentional strike. Better for Putin to lose against NATO than against Ukraine

The Russian missile screw-up that ended up killing two Poles will result in NATO invoking article 4 not article 5 (see below). The consultation will probably result in more support for Ukraine, particularly air and anti-air power. Will give Poland some real influence. https://twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien/...98256512798720

The Wals has begun

The statements of the Polish media and other officials about an alleged fall of Russian missiles are "deliberate provocation" in order to escalate the situation, Moscow said on Tuesday.
