Shutdown in the USA: The Senate approved a bill to restore the federal government's operation
60 senators voted "for" — including seven Democrats and one independent. 40 voted "against."
The compromise was made possible by combining three funding mechanisms and extending temporary funding not for a few weeks as before, but until January 30 of next year.
➡️ The House of Representatives has already agreed to expedite the passage of the document. It is expected that President Trump will sign the bill as soon as it arrives for signature.
Russian forces are exploiting heavy fog and poor weather to push light vehicles into southern Pokrovsk. Ukrainian sources confirm the conditions are hampering drone operations, making it harder to spot and strike Russian movements.

NABU and SAP report a large-scale operation to expose corruption in the energy sector. The activities of a high-level criminal organization have been documented.
Its members have built a large-scale corruption scheme influencing strategic state-owned enterprises, in particular JSC "NAEK Energoatom".
In Kyiv, detectives from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) came to search the home of Timur Mindich, a business partner of Zelensky and co-owner of the "Kvartal 95" studio, but a few hours before that he managed to leave the country, according to "Ukrainska Pravda".
Detectives from NABU came to search the businessman and co-owner of the "Kvartal 95" studio, a close associate of the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky, on the morning of November 10, "Ukrainska Pravda" reported citing sources in law enforcement agencies.
According to their information, the search is taking place in Kyiv. At the same time, another source told "Ukrainska Pravda" that Mindich left Ukraine on November 10, several hours before the NABU detectives arrived.
The reason for the search has not been specified. However, earlier "Ukrainska Pravda" wrote that NABU is preparing to bring charges against Mindich. On November 6, the publication reported that the businessman might become a subject of an FBI investigation related to possible money laundering.
Timur Mindich is a Ukrainian businessman and media manager, a friend of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Since the early 2000s, he has been associated with the production company "Kvartal 95," where he worked as a producer and managed media projects.
After Zelensky was elected president, the media called Mindich one of the president's trusted persons and informal advisors, although the businessman did not hold any government positions.
In August, Kyiv Independent, citing three sources, reported that Mindich is the ultimate beneficiary of the company Fire Point, which supplies drones to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Kyiv Independent, NABU began an investigation into Fire Point in spring 2025. It is claimed that in connection with this, Zelensky signed a bill that limited the powers of NABU and SAP, subordinating them to the Office of the Prosecutor General.
However, as a result of public protests and criticism from the EU, the decision was canceled — NABU and other anti-corruption bodies had their powers restored.
An ongoing attack is underway in Tuapse, likely involving Ukrainian naval drones. Local reports suggest a hit on a Russian vessel.

From DeepState:
➡️ The Defense Forces of Ukraine have cleared Solodke and Rivnopillia — head of the Assault Units Department Manko
✋ Just the day before yesterday, the Southern Defense Forces declared full control over Pavlivka and Uspenivka. Why statements from different departments differ by 6-8 km remains an open question.
🏹 According to our information, the enemy captured Uspenivka and Pavlivka, and also blocked our units in Novomykolaivka. Additionally, battles with sabotage groups took place in Solodke and Rivnopillia. The enemy has at least a presence in Pryvillia, Novyi, and Novouspenivskyi.
🔄 As for Uspenivka itself, the situation worsened after 50% of the personnel were taken to rescue the legendary area near Vyshneve. At the end of October, the Russians from the 14th BRSPN began entering the village, establishing communication, and brought in infantry from the 218th Tank Regiment and the 394th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Federation. About 70 groups numbering up to two companies entered the village. The Russians left the 394th to hold the position, while the 14th and 218th moved to neighboring settlements.
➡️ One of the battalions of the 102nd Territorial Defense Brigade tried to save the situation, but the forces were unequal and it ended badly.

🟡Continuation of enemy attempts to occupy Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad
🏹 Enemy infiltration continues in Pokrovsk, where they are both being tracked practically at all points in the city and destroyed. The Russians are actively pulling in their pilot crews who assist the infantry and also pose a major obstacle to the advancement of Ukrainian forces and the establishment of any logistics overall. At the same time, the enemy is trying to bring in their mortars to put logistics under denser fire.
🏚 Special attention should be paid to Myrnohrad. Speaking about Pokrovsk, it is not surrounded and cannot be, since the enemy infiltrates and operates directly within the city. There is only one infiltration point — the southern part of the settlement. Meanwhile, Myrnohrad is under threat of operational encirclement with the aim of taking full fire or physical control over all logistics routes. The entire Myrnohrad agglomeration, where SOU fighters are positioned, is also under threat.
📍 Currently, the enemy is being tracked and trying to consolidate on the eastern outskirts of the city, conducting assault actions along the Novoekonomichne-Mykolaivka-Myrolyubivka-Kozatske section. As the fighters themselves note — there is practically no logistics in the city; sometimes bad weather helps, or just getting somewhere is a lottery. Foot routes are essentially impossible now, as one can run into an ambush by sabotage and reconnaissance groups, drone strikes, mines, etc. Close contact during movement has become routine. There are cases when Russian infantry manages to set up engineering obstacles in the form of Czech hedgehogs. An important logistics point to Myrnohrad is the settlement of Rivne, where enemy forces are tracked, accumulate, and set ambushes in its district on the outskirts of Pokrovsk.
🔴 The key issues, primarily for Myrnohrad, are how to hold positions without normal logistics, how to conduct rotations, and how to retreat forces in case of a critical situation. Fighters note that orders to "restore" are often heard from command, including settlements under enemy control. While the group in Myrnohrad manages to hold back the pressure on the city from the east, soon this will become impossible without normal logistics access, which should supply the city. The key to this large city today is Pokrovsk, which is being consumed by the enemy daily.
Today the enemy tried to carry out a mechanized assault attempt under the cover of fog in the Dobropillia direction using 2 tanks and 2 armored fighting vehicles (all armored vehicles now really look like boxes because of their huge grills).
As a result of these assault actions, the armored vehicles could not reach the LBZ: some were destroyed on the approaches, and some were dismantled during the retreat.
This is a rather unusual use of such a small number of vehicles in this area, since just a few weeks ago the enemy was constantly conducting assaults with dozens of vehicles here in bad weather.
This fact may indicate the transfer of accumulated resources to Pokrovsk and a general shift of focus in the directions.

Preliminary analysis indicates three missiles hit the newly built energy block of Voronezh TPP‑1. Two struck the boiler building, damaging steam generators and turbines linked to LM6000 gas modules. Another pierced the roof, likely hitting the turbine hall. The strike caused a drop in power and heat supply across the city. This was one of the region’s most modern power units, finished in 2019.

Romania and Bulgaria are seeking ways to temporarily exempt the Lukoil refineries operating on their territory from US sanctions.
In Bulgaria, the parliament has already passed a law allowing the government to appoint a special manager for the refinery in Burgas, who will have the authority to control sales or potentially nationalize the enterprise.
Romania has not yet taken official steps, but according to the energy minister, the government is exploring options that would preserve the operation of the Petrotel plant while simultaneously stopping funding to Russia. Nationalization is considered only as a last resort.
Both countries may appeal to the US to request a delay in the enforcement of sanctions for strategic facilities.
Yesterday’s helicopter crash turned out to involve staff from the sanctioned Kizlyar Electromechanical Plant. Today it’s confirmed: the chief engineer, chief helicopter construction instructor, and deputy director for construction all died.
