Of the hundreds of families that once called Vodiane home
only seven now inhabit this tiny village that was known as Mariupol's favourite vacation spot
Vodiane's 13 residents rejoice as they receive assistance material from the ICRC
they tell us we need to come back more often - "even if just for a visit"
the ICRC convoy finally reaches the village of Vodiane
The settings could easily mimic a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie: houses are destroyed and abandoned
graffiti covers the yellowing walls and a piercing silence abounds
the lushness of summer makes the grey hopelessness of Vodiane less depressing.
there were about 300 families living in Vodiane
All others made alternative arrangements and left
Vodiane is a priority village for the ICRC and assistance is provided to all residents without restrictions; there are only 13 of them left behind

After almost everybody left the village in 2014
even restricting access for many humanitarian organizations
Any arrival of outsiders is thus a major event for the remaining villagers
Even the weather gods offer a very narrow window to visit with only the dry summer providing a pass to enter
the dirt road is covered with snow that is rarely cleared
it rains so heavily that even trucks cannot get through
Making use of the favourable weather conditions to deliver humanitarian aid to the village
battery lanterns and fire extinguishers for the villagers
my little ones!” - babushka Sophia rejoices as her new lambs jump towards her

Rodion says he still can’t get used to the fact that the village has turned into a ghost town
Each family receives 125 kilograms of wheat and maize as poultry feed
a roll of agricultural fiber and a protective net
Three families now have the resources to raise sheep
Nikolay Ivanovich looks happiest of them all
I did not think that you would bring me a milking machine,” he exults
“My wife’s hands are curled due to arthritis and it’s hard for her to milk goats
She cries every morning and evening when she has to do it,” he tells us
it’s hard not to think of the people who once lived in Vodiane
The houses they left behind are large and sturdy
Nikolay Ivanovich showing around the village of Vodiane
everything suddenly seems normal – goats are bleating
kittens are meowing and a dog is relentlessly barking
many people from Mariupol would spend their summer vacations here
enjoy fresh air and buy organic farm products
But all we now hear are blazing guns and constant shelling
isn’t there enough space on earth for everybody?” Nikolay grows quiet
This is not surprising because when translated from Ukrainian
But the pond was built by the villager just before the conflict
the water is a stagnating green and geese and ducks are its only infrequent visitors

This was reported by the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces on Facebook
"The Russian Federation is focusing its main efforts on running offensive operations in the Kupiansk
our defenders repelled 71 attacks," the update reads
The invaders fly continuous aerial reconnaissance missions to spot their fire
They carried out 14 missile and 19 air strikes
as well as 57 strikes involving MLR systems
The threat of further missile strikes remains significant throughout the territory of Ukraine
No signs of any offensive groups being formed the Volyn
and Slobozhanshchyna directions are being observed
The enemy shelled the areas of Horodyshche
as well as in the Serebriansk forestry area
Their artillery shelled the areas near Novomlynsk
and Berestove in Kharkiv region; and Makiivka
the enemy forces continue their assault on the positions of Ukrainian troops
They have undertaken unsuccessful offensive efforts near the settlements of Orihovo-Vasylivka
The Russians also launched a missile attack on the civilian infrastructure of Kostiantynivka
the enemy launched an offensive in the areas of Nevelske
and Vuhledar settlements – with no gains achieved
and Prechistivka of Donetsk region came under Russian fire
The enemy is in defense in the Zaporizhia and Kherson directions
Russian artillery continues to shell the areas of settlements along the contact line
These include Vremivka and Novopil of Donetsk region; Olhivske
and Bilohirya in Zaporizhia region; Marganets and Nikopol
and Kizomys in Kherson region,; as well as Matrosivka in the Mykolaiv region
Russian invaders are enhancing defenses in the temporarily occupied Crimea
Some 150 conscripts arrived from Russia’s Chelyabinsk region to perform engineering work
According to the General Staff’s intelligence due to fears of deoccupation of Ukrainian territories
the so-called municipal prosecutor of Horlivka
has resigned and is preparing to evacuate to Russia
the Air Force launched 12 strikes on the invaders’ manpower and equipment clusters
our defenders shot down three unmanned aerial vehicles of various types: Orlan-10
Missile and artillery units hit Russia’s control post
as well as two other important enemy targets," the General Staff concluded
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have eliminated 147,470 Russian invaders
The invaders are shelling the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) from the village of Vodiane.
One of the rushists’ artillery strikes damaged the first unit of a pumping station of the Thermal and Underground Communications Workshop. Another 'arrival' led to the partial destruction of a fire station responsible for the safety of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Also, as a result of enemy shelling, forests and grass caught fire in nearby areas, which caused significant smoke. Extinguishing fires caused by shelling is difficult due to the shelling of the fire station.
At the same time, the occupiers are actively creating a "picture" for their own propaganda. For this purpose, two buses of extras were recently delivered to the plant, which should perform the role of "local residents and staff". Real local residents and staff refuse to participate in such productions.
To the Enerhodar stele at the entrance to the town, the rushists drove a Pion self-propelled artillery mount with the letter 'Z' painted in white. A blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag was hoisted on the self-propelled guns. Obviously, it will be used for yet another provocation to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
there were no major changes on the front on November 3rd
The Russian offensive on Vuhledar has bogged down
and there is fighting in the Pavlivka area of the Donetsk region
Boris Rozhin, a military expert at the Russian propagandist “Center for political-military journalism,” claims that there are no significant changes in the Kherson direction

as there are defensive positions in almost every forest belt
Pervomaiske and Opytne in the Avdiivka direction
Russia is trying to attack the AFU in the direction of Makiivka

as dirt roads became impassable due to rainfall
Video of Ukrainian Excalibur artillery strikes against Russian armored vehicles in the south have been published online
It is claimed that the 2016 model T-72B3 and BMP-2 were destroyed
Meanwhile, Russia’s Civic Council, made up of public figures from nine Russian regions, has begun recruiting volunteers into the ranks of the AFU
The organization has announced the creation of the Technical Mobilization Center for Russians who want to volunteer for the Ukrainian army
When asked by The Insider as to who made up the organization
replied that it was currently impossible to name all the council’s participants – among them were prominent figures “who hadn’t yet guaranteed their own safety.”
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US-based think tank, had assessed that the AFU was going on the offensive in the direction of Svatove and Kreminna in the Luhansk region
The institute’s experts also wrote that Russia's mobilization efforts
are having a long-term devastating effect on the Russian economy
