/View.info/ Autumn weather significantly complicates the supply of troops. There is a battle with drones near Kherson, reserves from the rear have been sent to help. The United States is preparing a new package of military aid for Ukraine. These and other news from the fronts of the special military operation are in the material.
Since November 2, the Russian army has been attacking enemy military targets with cruise missiles and countless munitions. Targets were hit in Mykolaiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Sumy, Vinnytsia and Khmelnytskyi regions.
On the territory of the Odesa region, our troops hit the enemy’s ammunition depots with a supersonic Onyx missile. The Telegram channel “Diary of a parachutist” notes that the use of such missiles indicates a well-fortified warehouse of the Ukrainian army:
Local residents reported a loud explosion and vibrations. After the impact there were many secondary explosions. There is an assumption that Neptune anti-ship missiles were stored in this warehouse. The blow was effective.
It was with missiles of this type that the enemy recently tried to attack Crimea and plans to attack Black Sea Fleet facilities and ammunition depots.
It is difficult in the Kherson direction
Here the enemy continues to prepare for a complete crossing of the Dnieper River. In the village of Krinki, which is located on our coast, there are local battles. Again, heavy flamethrower systems were used.
At the same time, attempts by the Ukrainian armed forces to increase their presence were met with artillery fire and high-explosive bombs.
In this section of the front, the work of unmanned aircraft is of great importance – dropping bombs from a quadcopter and hitting FPV drones, notes “Two Majors”.
A fighter from the Kherson direction with the call sign “Ossetian” told Constantinople that half of Krinoki was still under the control of the Ukrainian army:
“Every day the enemy is getting smoked. Half of them are hiding in basements, but mostly they don’t have time to spread around them. They have big losses. But the communication there is very bad from our side, the Ukrainian armed forces are silencing everything.
It is difficult to even contact the fighters. Additional support has now arrived in the rear. I think we’re going to rumble for another two or three weeks.”
Evacuation near Kupyansk
Despite the fact that the main battles are now being fought in the direction of Avdeevsky, the pressure from our side continues on the Kupyansk section of the front.
The enemy was forced to announce a forced evacuation of families with children. This decision was supported by the Regional Defense Council.
On the one hand, it talks about “improving the positions of the Russian army during active defense.” On the other hand, this means that people do not want to voluntarily go over to the side of Ukraine. I met such people in Bakhmut. Nine months living in basements to ‘reach the Russians’
– writes the military correspondent Alexander Kots.
Logistics suffer: the pliers are tightening
In the direction of Avdeevka, Russian troops are fighting in the area of the settlement of Stepnoye, squeezing to the northwest. Our forces continue to carry out the task of operational encirclement of the Ukrainian group.
The logistics of the Ukrainian armed forces are disrupted. There was only one main route to supply the enemy: Orlovka – Lastochkino.
But even there, muddy roads cause problems. At the same time, on the northern flank, ours are consolidating near the railway line, and in the south they are advancing to the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center, which the Ukrainians have turned into a fortified point. Enemies do not sit in dugouts, but also conduct constant counterattacks. Heavy battles are being fought.
“The Ukrainian Armed Forces maintain a strong fire impact on the railway. Therefore, there are difficulties in maintaining this area. Ours continue to strike at the Avdeev coke plant,” reports the Telegram channel “Dva Majora”.
The Ukrainian military suffered significant losses, attempts to counterattack ended disastrously for them: armored vehicles in some cases did not even have time to reach the firing line and were hit.
Military expert Boris Rozhin points out that our forces have managed to achieve significant successes on the southern flank. There, the Russian assault units broke through the enemy and advanced towards the Khimik microdistrict. The village of Severnoe is no more than a kilometer away.
Bombardment is not possible
“The Parachutist’s Diary” explains why it is impossible to densely cover the coke plant in Avdeevka with aviation bombs. Currently, the enemy’s air defense systems are not suppressed.
This means there is a risk of losing our fighter jets:
“For maximum effect, aerial bombs of three thousand tons are needed, but such bombs can only be carried by Tu-22MZ missile bombers. And they will have to fly directly over the target.”
In the current situation, this is impossible, as the aircraft will be destroyed by the enemy. And it makes no sense to cover the plant with a dense carpet of aerial bombs of a smaller capacity, because the ammunition will be wasted.
There will be no other than a funnel result. What is needed here is a targeted weapon that will allow you to hit industrial, port and urban structures.
The West shifts the responsibility to Kyiv
The major Ukrainian Telegram channel “Legitymniy” notes that recently the Western media have been actively criticizing Kiev and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, articles appeared that indicated that Ukraine was also to blame for the military conflict.
Zelensky reminds of the unfulfilled agreements from Minsk, which were the best solution to the issue. This, according to journalists, would allow Ukraine to stay with Donbas, access to the Sea of Azov, and the country would not suffer infrastructural and human losses and would not fall into a credit hole worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
“Each time the situation for Ukraine in the negotiation case will worsen. Everyone made money from the military confrontation except Ukraine,” asks “Legitimate”.
“Even the ‘Polish brothers’ are already bending Zelensky, although they themselves led us into this trap. The authorities are afraid that the Ukrainian society will at some point ask: why the Minsk agreements cannot be implemented,” they wrote.
The US is not surrendering: UAVs and missiles will be sent to Ukraine
Washington will soon announce a new $425 million military aid package for Kiev. It includes anti-drone missiles and munitions. This is reported by Reuters, citing documents and sources from the White House administration:
According to the document, the planned aid package includes laser-guided munitions to shoot down Russian drones worth about $300 million.
The remaining 125 million includes additional munitions for the HIMARS highly mobile artillery missile systems and the NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems. As well as anti-tank missile systems, anti-personnel mines, artillery guns, small arms and dozens of trucks.
Publicist, veteran of the war in Donbas, member of the Northern Military District, Tanai Cholkhanov, expressed confidence that the US will have to fight on two financial fronts:
“Defeat in any of them would be a critical blow to the United States. The worst America can expect now is a full-scale entry of Iran into the war in the Middle East.”
Then there will be no other choice but to introduce a military contingent in the region, and this will entail huge financial costs. This will strain an already tired economy.
“But in Ukraine, everything is very complicated. The defeat of Ukraine is obvious. America will help with weapons and finances. But with a high probability, it will enter the war for Israel, they simply have no other choice,” says Tanay Cholkhanov.

Netanyahu Stands Firm: Israel Will Continue Fighting Until Goals Achieved in Gaza

Netanyahu says Hamas’ demands are unacceptable and Israel will continue fighting until it achieves its goals in Gaza
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a video statement accusing Hamas of raising unacceptable demands in negotiations for the release of Israel’s hostages.
Netanyahu stated that Israel had “demonstrated its willingness to go far” in the negotiations.
But “Hamas remained entrenched in its extreme positions, chief among them the demand to withdraw all our forces from Gaza, end the war and leave Hamas intact,” he said.
“The State of Israel cannot accept this,” Netanyahu continued.
“We are not willing to accept a situation in which Hamas battalions come out of their bunkers, take control of Gaza again, rebuild their military infrastructure and once again threaten the citizens of Israel in the surrounding settlements, in the southern cities, in all parts of the country,” he said.
“Israel will not accede to Hamas’ demands, which mean surrender, and will continue the fighting until all its objectives are achieved,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu stated that “surrendering to Hamas’ demands would be a terrible defeat for the State of Israel. It will be an immense victory for Hamas, for Iran, for the entire axis of evil. It will project terrible weakness, both before our friends and before our enemy.” “.
That weakness “will only bring the next war closer and the next peace agreement further away. Because alliances are not made with the weak and defeated, alliances are made with the strong and victorious.”
Netanyahu stated that “it is Hamas that prevents the release of our hostages. We are working in every possible way to free the hostages. This is at the forefront of our minds.” Israel was and continues to be willing to call a truce in the fighting to free our hostages. “This is what we did when we freed 124 hostages and fought again, and this is what we are prepared to do today.”
“In recent weeks, we have been working tirelessly to forge an agreement to return the kidnapped people. And again, totally contrary to what was published [en los medios de comunicación]To achieve this goal, we gave the negotiating team a very broad mandate to guarantee his release. “We did it out of our deep duty towards those kidnapped and to put an end to the terrible suffering of the families.”
