Summary

On 23 November 2024, during Day 1004 of the war in Europe, Russian forces conducted aerial bomb attacks in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine, resulting in the death of a 55-year-old man and injury to an 11-year-old boy. A second aerial strike in the wider Zaporizhzhia region hit a farm. There was also a reported strike in the port area of occupied Berdiansk, admitted by the Russian-installed governor Yevgeniy Balitskyi. Additionally, over 20 Russian drones attacked Ukraine with at least two shot down in Sumy region and one reaching Boryspil near Kyiv. Meanwhile, concerns about the incoming Trump administration's envoy Richard Grenell's policies towards Ukraine, strained Poland-Ukraine relations due to farmer protests at the border, and Switzerland's ban on sales to a Polish military hardware supplier over ammunition ending up in Ukraine were noted. Ukraine acknowledged ongoing drone and aerial bomb attacks in multiple regions including Kharkiv and described Russia as a terrorist state. Other notable events included limited traffic restrictions on the Crimea Bridge, a Russian general's dismissal following criticism over concealed troop losses, and sanctions impacting Gazprombank card usage. The day coincided with Holodomor Memorial Day, highlighting Russia's historical acts of genocide via deliberate starvation. Reports from multiple sources confirmed significant casualties among Russian forces and continuous hybrid warfare tactics by Russia including drone swarms, missile strikes, and information operations.
