Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 983

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 983

As the war enters its 983rd day, these are the main developments. Here is the situation on Monday, November 4: Fighting Debris from destroyed Russian drones started park and grass fires in Kyiv, the mayor of the Ukrainian capital said on Monday. Emergency crews were dispatched, with no immediate reports of casualties. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s air defence units tried to repel a Russian drone attack on Kyiv, the military administration said on Monday. “Stay in shelters!” Serhiy Popko, head of Kyiv’s military administration posted on Telegram. A Russian guided bomb attack late on Sunday, which hit a supermarket in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, injured four people. An earlier strike had hit a forested area of the city. Russia’s military said on Sunday its forces had taken control of the village of Vyshneve in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region as they pursue their advance towards the logistical centre of Pokrovsk. One man was killed by a Ukrainian drone attack in Russia’s Belgorod region on Sunday, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram. A second Taiwanese volunteer fighting alongside Ukrainian soldiers against Russia has been killed, Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday. The man was a member of Ukraine’s military legion of foreign fighters, the ministry said in a statement. Diplomacy United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has said he is “very concerned” about reports that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia to possibly aid in its war against Ukraine, said Stephane Dujarric, the UN chief’s spokesperson, on Sunday. Europe will need to rethink its support of Ukraine if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Sunday, as the continent “will not be able to bear the burdens of the war alone”. Orban opposes military aid to Ukraine and supports Trump in the election, believing he shares his views and would negotiate a peace settlement for Ukraine. Adblock test (Why?)

Actor Will Ferrell ‘threatens’ voters in new Harris campaign ad: ‘Shut the f–k up, Gary’

Actor Will Ferrell ‘threatens’ voters in new Harris campaign ad: ‘Shut the f–k up, Gary’

Actor and comedian Will Ferrell is throwing his star power behind Kamala Harris – it’s just another in a long list of celebrity endorsements for the vice president. In an official Harris campaign ad, Ferrell jokingly threatens voters if they don’t vote for Harris. “This election is going to be one of the closest in history. Your vote will make the difference,” Ferrell begins. He then mocks a voter disagreeing about their vote making a difference.  HOLLYWOOD OUTLET REPORTS THAT INDUSTRY INSIDERS ARE DREADING VERY POSSIBLE TRUMP WIN: ‘FEELS LIKE 2016’ “That means you, Gary. ‘Oh, blah blah blah, I’m just one person.’ No. Shut the f–k up Gary,” Ferrell says.  “Last time, only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office. And this time, we will hold you personally responsible, Gary” Ferrell threatens. Critics took to X, telling the actor to stick to comedy and stay out of politics. “Democrats have now resorted to physically threatening people to vote for Kamala. Will Ferrell should’ve stuck to comedy. This isn’t funny at all,” one user wrote. “Will Ferrell is making it REAL tough for me to watch Elf this season,” another user commented.  Ferrell joins a list of actors and celebrities who have used their status to endorse Harris in the homestretch of the campaign.  On Thursday, actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle and Paul Bettany took part in a video endorsement, mocked as “new cringe” for Harris and Tim Walz, that was posted on Ruffalo’s X account. LEBRON JAMES DOUBLES DOWN ON CONTROVERSIAL HARRIS ENDORSEMENT VIDEO: ‘DAMN SURE WASN’T GOING THE OTHER WAY’ “We’re back. Let’s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts,” Ruffalo wrote, encouraging people to vote for Harris and Democrats. In the video, they jokingly suggested Harris needed a catchphrase, referencing their past movies. Bettany remarked, “How about ‘I’m down with democracy’? It’s clean and simple.” “I’m Kamala Harris and I say down with democracy,” Cheadle joked, adding, “Yeah, together we got to tear down democracy.” Near the end of the video, he phrased it saying, “I’m Kamala Harris, and I am down with democracy.” Singer Beyoncé introduced Harris at a rally in Houston, Texas. ‘AVENGERS’ STARS ASSEMBLE IN ROASTED HARRIS AD: ‘NEW CRINGE JUST DROPPED’ The final New York Times/Siena College Battleground poll of the 2024 race shows a razor-tight election in the battleground states just days before the election. Trump leads in Arizona, while Harris has a lead in Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada and Wisconsin. Michigan and Pennsylvania are tied between the two candidates, according to the poll. The poll comes just two days before an election that promises to be one of the closest in recent memory, with the New York Times/Siena poll not being the only one showing tight margins.
