three things to remember from Friday November 3

Ukraine is experiencing its 617th day of conflict, Friday November 3. Ukrainians are preparing for winter, accusations against Nestlé and Russian drones shot down… Here is what we should remember from this day.

Image of the day: wood for winter

One of the images of recent hours is that of residents of Izioum, in the north-east of Ukraine, who collect stoves donated by a Norwegian NGO. An essential tool as winter approaches. Near Donetsk, residents gather wood to cope with falling temperatures. The Ukrainian authorities have said that they fear an intensification of Russian bombing of energy infrastructure.

Quote of the day: “Nestlé continues to operate in the aggressor country”

The sentence to remember is aimed at a Western company. “Nestlé continues to operate in the aggressor country, supplying products to the population and expanding its production in the country”, said Ukraine’s national anti-corruption agency. The company is accused of supporting the war. Nestlé had already responded to these accusations in the past by arguing that it had reduced its activities in Russia since the start of the war.
