Russia investing large military effort to take Donetsk town,

says UK
The UK Ministry of Defence has released an update on Russia’s military
efforts in Ukraine.
Russian forces continue to invest a large part of their overall firepower on an

approximately 15km-long sector of entrenched frontline around the
Donetsk oblast town of Bakhmut, the defence ministry says.
In recent days, Russia has likely made small advances on the southern axis
of this assault and is likely to be planning to encircle the town.

17 Ukrainian diplomatic missions receive suspicious packages

after letter bomb
The Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, has said that 17 Ukrainian
embassies or diplomatic missions around the world have received letter
bombs or packages containing animal parts, including cows eyes, in recent
days.
In an interview with CNN, he said: “It started with an explosion at the

embassy of Ukraine in Spain,” Kuleba said. “But what followed this
explosion was more weird, and I would even say sick.”
A letter bomb at the Ukrainian embassy in Madrid left a staff member with
minor injuries on Wednesday. Others have been sent to the Spanish prime
minister, the deputy prime minister and the US embassy.
Ukraine’s foreign affairs spokesperson, Oleg Nikolenko, said that embassies

in Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Croatia, Italy and Austria are among
those to receive the packages.
When asked who he thought was behind the letters, Kuleba told CNN said: “I
feel tempted to say, to name Russia straight away, because first of all you
have to answer the question, who benefits?
“Maybe this terror response is the Russian answer to the diplomatic horror
that we created for Russia on the international arena, and this is how they
try to fight back while they are losing the real diplomatic battles one after
another.”
Russia has denied any responsibility for the packages in Madrid. On

Wednesday, its embassy in Spain said: “Any terrorist threat or act, even more
so directed against a diplomatic mission, is totally reprehensible.”

Russia has said it will continue to find buyers for oil, despite a price cap for
seabourne oil being set at $60 a barrel.
A group of western countries, including EU nations, G7 countries and

Australia have agreed the cap as they try to limit Moscow’s income and its
ability to finance its ongoing war in Ukraine.
In retaliation, Vladimir Putin and Kremlin officials have said that they won’t
sell oil to countries that implement it.
Russia’s embassy to the US on Saturday said that the policy was “reshaping”
the free market, and insisted oil would continue to be sold.
In a post on Telegram, it said: “Steps like these will inevitably result in

increasing uncertainty and imposing higher costs for raw materials’
consumers.
“Regardless of the current flirtations with the dangerous and illegitimate

instrument, we are confident that Russian oil will continue to be in demand.”

Ukrainian forces killed another 510 Russian troops on Friday, bringing the
total number of soldiers lost by Russia since the invasion to 90,600.
They also downed another eight drones and managed to take out a tank,
according to statistics provided by the Ukrainian general staff of the armed
forces.

More than 7,000 explosives removed from around Kherson –

Ukraine emergency services
A total of 7,042 explosive items have been “removed and neutralised” from
Kherson oblast, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service.
Work to rid the area of mines and other traps has been going on since the
Russian retreat from the city last month.
Ukrainian emergency workers say they have surveyed almost 700ha of open
territory, 60km of railway tracks and 326 households.
Authorities are urging anyone who returns to Kherson or the area around it
to be extremely careful.
Last month, the Guardian reported that ridding Kherson of mines could take
years.

Here’s a bit more detail about the oil price cap instituted by the G7 and its
allies.
The EU had already agreed on an embargo of seaborne crude oil from Russia
in a package of sanctions announced earlier this year.
The G7 and Australia agreement will allow non-EU countries to continue

importing seaborne Russian crude oil using western insurance and maritime
services as long as they do not pay more a barrel than the agreed limit.
Because the most important shipping and insurance firms are based in G7
countries, the price cap would make it very difficult for Moscow to sell its oil
for a higher price.
A senior US Treasury Department official told reporters on Friday that the

$60 a barrel price cap on Russian seaborne crude oil will keep global markets
well supplied while “institutionalising” discounts created by the threat of
such a limit.
Under the terms of the deal the price cap will be reviewed in mid-January
and every two months after that. It also includes a mechanism that would
keep the price cap at least 5% below the market rate.
Security experts from the CSIS thinktank have warned a cap at $60 is
toothless since it is above the price of existing Russian oil prices of about $52
a barrel.
It has been estimated that Russian oil is sold at a profit from $40-$45 a barrel,
but Russia’s true extraction costs are hard to estimate.

Russia investing large military effort to take Donetsk town, says

UK
The UK Ministry of Defence has released an update on Russia’s military
efforts in Ukraine.
Russian forces continue to invest a large part of their overall firepower on an

approximately 15km-long sector of entrenched frontline around the Donetsk
oblast town of Bakhmut, the defence ministry says.
In recent days, Russia has likely made small advances on the southern axis of
this assault and is likely to be planning to encircle the town.
Russia has prioritised Bakhmut as its main offensive effort since early
August 2022. The capture of the town would have limited operational value
although it would potentially allow Russia to threaten the larger urban areas of
Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
The statement from the ministry adds that the campaign has been
disproportionately costly, relative to these possible gains.
There is a realistic possibility that Bakhmut’s capture has become primarily

a symbolic, political objective for Russia.

Cap on Russian oil price expanded to G7 and Australia

The G7 and Australia have agreed to cap the price paid for Russian seaborne
crude oil at $60 a barrel, hours after EU members overcame internal
resistance to reach the same decision earlier in the day.
The EU agreed the price after holdout Poland gave its support, paving the
way for formal approval over the weekend.
In a statement, the Group of Seven leading economies and Australia said the
price cap would take effect on 5 December or very soon after.
The price cap aims to reduce Russia’s income from selling oil, while
preventing a spike in global oil prices after an EU embargo on Russian crude
oil takes effect on 5 December.
Poland had pushed in EU negotiations for the cap to be as low as possible in

order to squeeze Russian revenues and limit Moscow’s ability to finance its
war in Ukraine.
The final deal includes a mechanism to keep the oil price cap at least 5%
below the market rate.
US officials said the deal was unprecedented and demonstrated the resolve
of the coalition opposing Russia’s war.
The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, said the price
cap would significantly reduce Russia’s revenues.
The EU agreement on an oil price cap, coordinated with G7 and others, will

Welcome and summary

Hello and welcome to today’s live coverage of the war in Ukraine. My name
is Jonathan Yerushalmy and I’ll be with you for the next while.
The G7, EU and Australia have agreed to cap the price of Russian seaborne
crude oil at $60 a barrel, in a move that could result in Russian oil output
falling by 500,000 barrels a day by early 2023.
The decision by the Group of Seven nations and Australia followed an earlier
announcement from the EU that the bloc had overcome internal resistance
to a $60 a barrel price.
The G7 and Australia said in a statement the price cap would take effect on 5
December or very soon thereafter.
More on this shortly. In the meantime, here are the other key recent
developments:
The US president, Joe Biden, said on Thursday that he was prepared to

speak to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, if he was looking for a
way to end the war but that Putin had not yet indicated that. Putin is open
to talks on a possible settlement in Ukraine but the refusal of the United
States to recognise annexed territories as Russian is hindering a search for
any potential compromise, the Kremlin said.
Up to 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia invaded in
February, according to Kyiv’s presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak. At
certain points in the war, Ukraine said that between 100 and 200 of its
forces were dying a day on the battlefield, making Podolyak’s estimate
seem conservative. Speaking to Ukraine’s 24 Kanal, Podolyak said they
were official figures from Ukraine’s general staff.
Three people were killed and seven wounded in Russian shelling of the
southern Ukrainian region of Kherson over the past 24 hours, the regional
governor said.
Russian-installed authorities in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region said
that they would start evacuating some people with reduced mobility
from the Russian-occupied town of Kakhovka, on the east bank of the
Dnipro River. The evacuations were set to start on Saturday, they said in a
Telegram post on Friday.
Russian troops in Ukraine are deliberately attacking the country’s
museums, libraries and other cultural institutions, according to a report
issued by the US and Ukrainian chapters of the international writers’
organisation PEN.
The Finnish prime minister, Sanna Marin, has called for Europe to build
its own defence capabilities in the wake of the war in Ukraine, saying that
without US help Europe is not resilient enough.
The International Atomic Energy Agency hopes to reach an agreement
with Russia and Ukraine to create a protection zone at the Zaporizhzhia
nuclear power plant by the end of the year, the head of the UN atomic
watchdog was quoted as saying. The nuclear plant, Europe’s biggest,
provided about a fifth of Ukraine’s electricity before Russia’s invasion, and
has been forced to operate on backup generators a number of times,
Reuters reported.
