Kherson and Moscow's sanctions list, 14 November 2022
Summary
A look back at what had been reported by 14 November 2022 on the Kherson counteroffensive, a Russian-installed official's death and a Russian entry ban on US citizens.
What was the state of play in the Russo-Ukrainian war on 14 November 2022? Two items reported in the preceding days set the backdrop: a death in the Russian-installed administration in Kherson and a new Russian entry ban on Americans.
Ukraine had launched a counteroffensive on 29 August 2022 to expel Russian forces occupying the southern regions of Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts. By mid-November, that campaign was the context for events around the city of Kherson.
On 9 November 2022, Russian officials said Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Kherson military–civilian administration, had been killed in a car crash while travelling to Crimea. Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree posthumously awarding him the Order of Courage.
On 11 November 2022, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced a ban on 200 US citizens entering Russia. The list included White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and three siblings of US President Joe Biden.
Taken together, the reports showed the war running on two tracks: military pressure in the south, and a continuing exchange of punitive measures between Moscow and Washington.
