On the situation in the occupied and liberated territories of Kherson region and on the information space in the occupied South, UkraineWorld spoke to the director of the online Kherson news outlet Vgory, Ilona Korostitsina.
Key points - in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis 1/13

The humanitarian situation in the de-occupied territories remains difficult. There are huge destructions. Some villages have been almost completely destroyed. Utility systems have been shattered. Villages located close to the frontline are still suffering from shelling. 2/13

People are by and large not complying with the so-called evacuation being undertaken by the occupation administration. There are no signs that it is being conducted forcibly. The aim of these actions by the occupiers could be a disguised deportation to Russia. 3/13

The story of 8-year-old Rita, killed by a Russian shell in the village of Bezruky in Kharkiv Oblast. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/10

The village of Bezruky is located 15 km from the Russian border. There was horrible fighting here in the spring and summer. A little girl named Rita was killed in June. She was reading a book when a cluster bomb flew right into her yard. Her aunt Yulia was also killed. 2/10

The Russians used cluster bombs which produce lots of little fragments that tear through the human body. There is very little chance of surviving when one of these shells explodes nearby. Alla, Rita’s grandmother, lost her daughter and granddaughter in the blink of an eye. 3/10

The story of Tamara, who works in the ritual service of Izyum, Kharkiv Oblast, where a mass burial site was discovered after deoccupation. #UkraineWorldTestimony 1/13

Dead people were brought to us in sacks. With names and surnames, documents and addresses, if those were known. Our job was to dig a hole and bury them. We kept a book where we wrote down the numbers of the dead for later identification. 2/13

We buried very few unidentified people, most of the dead had addresses, and we found out who they were. Mainly, those were ones who died under the rubble of their own houses after shelling. 3/13

What are the upcoming highlights and prospects for the current heating season? UkraineWorld spoke to Volodymyr Omelchenko, Director of energy and infrastructure programs of the Razumkov Center. Key points – in our brief, #UkraineWorldAnalysis: 1/11

The government's response to energy challenges is quite satisfactory given the unprecedented attacks by Iranian drones as well as missile strikes. Energy companies like Centrenergo, DTEK, and Ukrenergo are currently coordinating their actions. 2/11

Within a few hours of 🇷🇺’s massive strikes on the 🇺🇦 power grid on October 15, energy supply was restored in most 🇺🇦 territories. The most challenging situation is in the area of active hostilities due to constant fire from howitzers and volley fire systems. 3/11
