Our troops continue to gain a foothold in the industrial zone and expand the zone of control around it. The enemy is no longer making serious attempts to return to the industrial zone.
Active assault operations continue in the Stepovoy area. In the village itself there is no progress yet, but to the south of the village there is. The enemy recognizes the deterioration of the situation in this area. The village itself is virtually unsuitable for defense - almost all the buildings are destroyed, as are some of the basements. It is very difficult for both us and the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cling to him.
There has been no significant progress yet to the west of Krasnogorovka. The enemy's counterattacks also did not bring him any significant results. The main losses in armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were suffered to the north-west of Avdiivka.

08:02 Summary on the morning of December 3, 2023:
In the Kherson direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to increase efforts on our bank of the Dnieper. Regardless of losses, the enemy constantly replenishes personnel to replace those destroyed, uses special forces as infantry, and attacks the rear. Ukrainian Armed Forces drones are constantly in the air, hunting for any equipment. Night FPV and drone bombers are actively used. We respond with the most powerful FAB-500 and FAB-1500 with UMPC, large-caliber artillery and heavy flamethrower systems. Drones are also used extremely effectively by our troops: they are hunting for enemy boats and infantry. However, the situation at Krynok has not changed.
On the Zaporozhye front, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trampling in the Rabotino-Verbovoe pocket, our troops are also counterattacking in small groups of infantry without planning a deep breakthrough. The term “maneuverable” or “active” defense, when superior enemy forces were previously lured into positions recaptured by our troops under Russian artillery fire, is gradually losing its effectiveness.
If in the summer the enemy threw up to several companies with armored vehicles into battle for these purposes, now there are two platoons of motorized infantry, no more. The periodic use of a pair of helicopters by the Ukrainian Armed Forces at extremely low altitudes near Rabotino looks daring. The accuracy of such shooting is low, but the fact of such actions indicates that some units are insufficiently equipped with portable air defense systems. Enemy reconnaissance and FPV drones remain a serious problem here.
In the Avdeevsky direction, ours occupied the industrial zone to the south. They are pushing the enemy towards the village. Northern. On the northern ledge of the front, the initiative is in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, and a creeping offensive is underway. To the south of Avdeevka, Marinka was almost taken. But behind it, new enemy defense units have been being prepared for a long time.
A settlement was taken near Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Khromovo is an important point for the further development of the offensive to the West. The fighting near Kleshcheevka and Andreevka in the south also does not subside, but there are no significant changes.
Near Kupyansk, our troops are actively operating at Sinkovka and Kislovka. This activity continues for several months without much progress.
In general, even the enemy General Staff is forced to admit the gravity of the situation of the Ukrainian troops. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting an organized defense and in some places trying to attack. At the front - no change. There are local battles going on.
