19/20 takes stock of the information from the last 24 hours in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Ukraine is experiencing its 629th day of conflict, Wednesday November 15. From the pardon granted by Vladimir Putin to a detainee to the Ukrainian cargo insurance program, here is what should be remembered from this day.
Image of the day: Sergei Khadjikurbanov pardoned by Vladimir Putin
In 2006, Sergei Khadzhikurbanov was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the assassination of journalist Anna Politkovskaya in Moscow. On Wednesday, November 15, he was pardoned by President Vladimir Putin for serving with Russian forces in Ukraine. In Russia, tens of thousands of prisoners are sent to the front to redeem their behavior.
Quote of the day: “The enemy was able to completely cross the border”
“Against all odds, the Ukrainian army gained a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper“said Andriy Yermak, Ukrainian official, who refers to a small village, located in the Kherson region. But the information was confirmed by the Russians, which is rare. “The enemy was able to completely cross the border, sending for a time more personnel than our means of destruction were capable of destroying” announced Vladimir Saldo, from the Russian administration in Kherson.
Today’s figure: 46 million euros
Ukraine is launching a program worth 46 million euros to insure cargo ships that still dare to come and load agricultural products in ports in the south of the country. 46 million euros for each trip, because the risks are very great. Just last week, a civilian ship was targeted by Russian fire, leaving one dead and two injured.
