New military assistance from Canada
Ukraine will receive about $34 million in additional military assistance from Canada. The funds will be used to continue providing critical satellite imagery, additional high-resolution cameras for drones, and additional winter gear.
Success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south
Ukrainian missile and artillery units carried out 45 firing missions on the southern front on November 16. Thus, the occupants have 5 wounded soldiers, and 3 armored vehicles were destroyed. The final losses of the Russians are being investigated.
At the same time, Russians are using Lancet and Zala attack drones. Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down two such drones with small arms in Beryslav Raion of Kherson Oblast.
Discovery of tortured bodies in Kherson Oblast
Minister of Internal Affairs Denys Monastyrskyi said that law enforcement officers have already found 63 bodies of tortured people in Kherson Oblast. Currently, the exhumation of those who were tortured is being carried out in the de-occupied part of the region.
“Currently, 63 bodies [of tortured people] have been found throughout Kherson Oblast, but we must understand that the search has just begun. We understand that the months of stay of Russian orcs did not bypass settlements and civilians, and therefore many more places of torture and burial of victims of such crimes will be found,” the minister said.
