#Ukraine 11/19 Few changes confirmed in the last 3 days as the fights are settling in and winter is coming with the first snow and overcast weather limiting aerial operations.
(Translation Thanks to @StphaneCardon3 )

#Ukraine 11/19 (2) In the northeast, the UKR continue their pressure and the RUS mount local counterattacks. Fights are sometimes violent, but the changes aren't visible on the front line.

#Ukraine 11/19 (3) During the heavy fighting for Makiivka, a possible UKR war crime on RUS & LPR prisoners is being investigated by the Kharkiv prosecutor's office. It is obviously exploited by pro-Russian propaganda without waiting for the conclusions.

#Ukraine 11/19 (4) In the Bakhmut - Donetsk sector, RUS (& Wagner) efforts continue (although reduced yesterday), benefiting from the contribution of assets withdrawn from Kherson, especially artillery which has local superiority

#Ukraine 11/19 (5) However, the RUS progress remains disappointing. Even the announcement of the capture of Opytne (Donetsk) seems to need to be confirmed as it's still unclear. In the meantime the shelling of UKR positions is intense and the UKR situation is described as hard.

#Ukraine 11/19 (6) The arrival of frost and snow complicates the situation of mobilized soldiers thrown without equipment on a front difficult to hold. The makeshift camps are not enough and testimonies show that the RUS soldiers sometimes flee without even being attacked. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#Ukraine 11/19 (7) In the southern front (between Dnipro in Zaporozhye and Donetsk), the agitation continues on the RUS side, a sign of fear of a UKR offensive that is not coming. For the time being. Since the end of August, some people have been announcing a UKR attack.

#Ukraine 11/19 (8) In Kherson, a new strict blackout in the UKR ranks. All we can say is that things are happening but not as expected: no freezing (I don't believe it), but no massive bombing either. A visit of famous general Marchenko, defender of Mykolaiv.
