The Russian advance in the Pokrovsk direction has slowed. Ukraine was able to send reserves to this area and Russia is suffering huge losses trying to attack. Russia tried to expand the flanks in the direction of Pokrovsk. Heavy fighting is underway in the Selydove area, but 1/6
Russia is unable to advance. The advance has also slowed in the Toretsk direction. The arriving Azov was even able to push Russian troops back near Niu-York and unblock the encircled Ukrainian units. Azov writes that the Russians are conducting up to 15 assaults a day in 2/6
this direction, but Ukraine is managing to hold back the defense. Russia reported complete control over Niu-York, but as usual this turned out to be a lie. Fighting for the city continues. The Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region has also predictably slowed down, but 3/6
Russian troops in the Glushkov region are having difficulty crossing the Seim River. Ukraine is destroying the pontoon bridges that Russia is trying to build. Ukraine is also managing to advance in the Kharkiv region. However, Russia managed to move a little in the direction 4/6
of Vuhledar and the situation there is difficult. But it is still beginning to seem that Russia does not have large reserves and is now wearing down its reserves, as if it still had that much available. There have been more cases when Air Force pilots were transferred to 5/6
the infantry, writes Russian blogger Fighterbomber. Valuable specialists are thrown into meaty assaults. This autumn promises to be decisive in many ways. 6/6

After many years of heavy fighting, Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of soldiers, and most importantly, experienced commanders. In some areas, Ukraine is 6 times inferior in numbers to Russia. There is also a severe shortage of ammunition, and when it is necessary to hold
1/10
a position, ammunition often runs out and its delivery is complicated due to Russia's superiority in artillery and aviation. Support vehicles come under fire and are destroyed. Ukrainian brigades are exhausted. First of all, there is a shortage of medium- and long-range
2/10
weapons. Ukraine is quite effective in hitting Russia's logistics, but due to Russia's huge numerical superiority, this is not enough. In addition, Russia is also not standing still, but learning and adapting. Due to the shortage of weapons, drones have become Ukraine's main

The strike on the Dnipro by an intercontinental ballistic missile damaged an industrial enterprise, a rehabilitation center, residential buildings and garages. As a result of the strike, 2 people were injured. The 57-year-old man received medical assistance on the spot,

the 42-year-old woman was hospitalized. "Ukrainian Truth" writes that it was an RS-26 "Rubezh" medium-range missile. This is the entire escalation that Russia threatened, but Russia is already hitting Ukrainian cities with everything it can - drones, missiles, artillery.

This strike did not bring any serious tactical benefit and serves only one purpose - intimidation. There will be talk that the next time the missile will have a nuclear warhead and all that. However, this is how bluff works. Putin is always "one step away" from using

Unable to respond to permission to fire long-range Western missiles at Russian territory, Russia has resorted to attacks on civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine and hybrid tactics. There is no doubt that Russia is behind the damage to the Finland/Germany and

Lithuania/Sweden submarine cables at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. A Danish military vessel recently stopped Chinese flagged bulk carrier Yi Peng 3 suspected of sabotaging the cables. According to Russian federal port records, the ship was captained by a Russian citizen

(Stechentsev A.E.). Interestingly Yui Peng 3 was only transferred to its current owner in China earlier this month. The ship is carrying goods/oil from Ust-Luga in Russia, to Port Said in Egypt. The same captain also commanded URSUS ARCTOS also carrying goods from Ust-Luga

North Korea has sent Col. Gen. Kim Yong-bok to lead North Korean troops in Russia, a top North Korean military official who often serves as Kim Jong-un’s lieutenant. Col. Gen. Kim Yong-bok has rarely been seen — or even mentioned — in public. His role leading North Korean 1/9
special forces required him to keep a low profile to protect his identity. But he is now a very public figure. He is the top North Korean military official in Russia, where more than 11,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed to help Moscow push out Ukrainian forces 2/9
that have seized a chunk of Russian territory. Officials in Kyiv and Seoul have reportedly confirmed his presence in Russia. Col. Gen. Kim is technically tasked with integrating North Korean troops with Russian ones, learning from combat experience to bring home, and 3/9
Apparently, the US is lifting restrictions on the use of ATACMS on Russian territory. It seems that the introduction of North Korean troops into Ukraine and the latest massive Russian attack on Ukrainian infrastructure on the night of November 17 could have influenced this
1/15
decision. Despite the fact that this is a very belated decision, since Russia has already withdrawn most of its targets from the ATACMS missile strike zone, this decision will expand Ukraine's capabilities. This decision has caused a negative reaction not only from Russian
2/15
propagandists, but also in the West, where statements about escalation are still being made. The permission will not greatly affect the situation on the front at the moment, because there is no Wunderwaffe that wins the war, but it will greatly help the Ukrainians in the

After the pro-Kremlin Georgian Dream party won the elections in Georgia, the Kremlin began to implement a plan to integrate the unrecognized republics of Abkhazia and North Ossetia into Russia. However, it did not work out. After the local authorities in Abkhazia announced 1/7
an investment agreement with Russia, residents of the unrecognized republic took to the streets and seized the local government. Protesters surrounded the complex of government buildings and demanded the resignation of the head of the self-proclaimed republic, Aslan Bzhania. 2/7
Earlier, protesters tore down part of the fence with a car and entered the territory adjacent to the parliament building. The protesters threw eggs and bottles at the police, who in turn used smoke bombs. Shots were heard near the parliament. Eight people were injured during 3/7
