#Ukraine 11/26 Update on the 276th day of the invasion. No significant & confirmed change in the front line.
Translation thanks to @StphaneCardon3

#Ukraine 11/26 (2) In the northeast, UKR forces are ordered to keep strict blackout. Svatove & Kreminna remain the UKR objectives, but RUS forces have managed to deploy a mass of mobilized soldier reinforcements whose combat reliability is questionable.

#Ukraine 11/26 (3) RUS Attacks continue in the Soledar-Bakhmut sector and on the Donetsk front. I'll come back to this at the end of the thread.

#Ukraine 11/26 (4) On the southern front, still this tension within the pro-Russians.

#Ukraine 11/26 (5) And on the Dnipro front, still these artillery fights of great intensity (video 1 of 23/11). Kherson is burning (video 2 released yesterday morning). twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#Ukraine 11/26 (6) Always these RUS bombings behind the frontline targeting civilians.

#Ukraine 11/26 (7) Strategic strikes have reduced after the November 23 wave of missiles and drones. I wrote about this strategic bombing campaign in my column on
@Mediapart mediapart.fr/journal/intern…

#Ukraine 11/26 (8) RUS strategic strikes have severely weakened the UKR power grid. Last night Kyiv experienced a 3rd night in the dark: a literal #blackfriday for Ukrainians.

#Ukraine 11/26 (9) But Ukrainians are benefiting from a surge of international solidarity. With the influx of heavy transformers from all over the world: USA, Finland, South Korea ... and France.

#Ukraine 11/26 (10) Focus today on areas where RUS forces (and mercenaries) have been stubbornly attacking since early July: Bakhmut (and Soledar) and Avdiivka.

#Ukraine 11/26 (11) Every day, every night, bombardments pounding the area. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

#Ukraine 11/26(12) All means are good to try to push back the UKR defenders. Including incendiary projectiles prohibited as here.

#Ukraine 11/26 (13) They are intended to ignite the surfaces they hit. The use of these weapons is prohibited by international conventions. Their "interest" is to "clean" areas that are difficult to bomb (forests, cities or fortifications). The result⤵️

#Ukraine 11/26 (14) Then, every day, small groups attack fortifications on disturbed terrain. These mercenaries and RUS soldiers have no chance.

#Ukraine 11/26 (15) The images coming from the front are terrible. Piles of corpses mowed down in the countryside. Or as here frozen to death after being pinned down for a night under fire (like un this video).

#Ukraine 11/26 (16) The UKR defense is relentless but has to hold on "sparingly" : each unit sent as reinforcement will not be able to participate in the next counter-offensive. The UKR command organizes rotations within the brigades: here some reinforcements cross Bakhmut.

#Ukraine 11/26 (17) And here men come back from the front line, Back from Hell.
They are exhausted, confused. The marks of stress are engraved on their faces. Some of them can't even get rid of their protections without help.

#Ukraine 11/26 (18) That's it for today. Have a good Saturday and remember to take some time for yourself.
