[Regnum] The air temperature in Moscow on November 2 rose to +13.3 degrees and broke the record value for that day of +12.2 degrees, recorded in 1942. The Phobos weather center reported this on November 2.
Forecasters noted that daily temperature records were updated in Moscow for the second day in a row.
“Despite the beginning of a decrease in temperature, the heat reserves were enough to update the second consecutive daily record of maximum air temperature - at midnight thermometers in the capital showed +13.3 degrees, which is 1.1 degrees higher than the previous achievement, which was + on November 2 12.2 degrees and belonged to 1942,” says a message on the center’s website.
It is noted that the air temperature in the capital may also update the record for the warmest night for November 2, but for this it is necessary that its values before 09:00 Moscow time do not fall below the current record of +8.5 degrees, recorded in 1967.
As Regnum reported, on October 31, Tatyana Pozdnyakova, chief specialist of the Moscow Meteorological Bureau , said that October 2023 will be one of the ten “wettest” in the last 140 years. The specialist added that this is the fourth October in this century when the total amount of precipitation exceeded 100 millimeters.
According to the forecaster, the reason for this was the cyclones from the Atlantic constantly attacking the European territory of Russia. Pozdnyakova clarified that all types of precipitation fell in Moscow during the month: rain, freezing rain, drizzle, sleet and snow.
This coming winter, the weather in Russia will be unstable - temperatures will fluctuate to extreme values. This was announced by the scientific director of the Hydrometeorological Center Roman Vilfand in an interview with Izvestia.
He explained that in the European and Asian parts of the country the temperature background will remain near normal values, but at the same time extreme temperatures will also be observed.
“The temperature background will generally be near and above normal not only in Moscow , but also in the European part of Russia, and in the Asian part. But extreme values will be observed from a thaw in Moscow to noticeable frosts of -15... -20 degrees. <…> This analysis can be done in more detail at the beginning of next month,” the meteorologist said.
Vilfand also said that the current year will be the warmest for the entire period of average global temperature. Speaking about September 2023, a Hydromet representative said that it was the hottest in the entire period of meteorological observations, and the reason was given as the growing amount of greenhouse gases and an increase in the temperature of the Pacific Ocean.
As IA Regnum reported on November 2, Moscow residents were warned about the imminent return of abnormally warm weather. On Sunday, November 5, it is expected that in Moscow and the region the air will warm up to 13–14 degrees. As Vilfand noted, this temperature will be 7–8 degrees above normal.
[ZERO] Merely a month ago, before the world's attention and global media rapidly shifted from Ukraine to becoming soley fixated on the Israel-Gaza war, there were some things you weren't supposed to say—and if you did you ran the risk of being denounced and branded as 'pro-Kremlin' or a 'Putin-sympathizer'.
Top of the list of banned talking points was the observation that Ukraine is failing or even losing in the counteroffensive and in its overall war aim of pushing back the Russian invaders. But fast-forward, and this week Ukraine's top military commander, Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, has admitted there will be no breakthrough and the battlefield situation is in a stalemate.
Five months into its counter-offensive, Ukraine has managed to advance by just 17 kilometres. Russia fought for ten months around Bakhmut in the east “to take a town six by six kilometres”. Sharing his first comprehensive assessment of the campaign with The Economist in an interview this week, Ukraine’s commander-in-chief, General Valery Zaluzhny, says the battlefield reminds him of the great conflict of a century ago. “Just like in the first world war we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate,” he says. The general concludes that it would take a massive technological leap to break the deadlock. “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.”
The course of the counter-offensive has undermined Western hopes that Ukraine could use it to demonstrate that the war is unwinnable–and thus change Vladimir Putin’s calculations, forcing the Russian president to negotiate. It has also undercut General Zaluzhny’s assumption that he could stop Russia by bleeding its troops. “That was my mistake. Russia has lost at least 150,000 dead. In any other country such casualties would have stopped the war.” But not in Russia, where life is cheap and where Mr Putin’s reference points are in the first and second world wars in which Russia lost tens of millions.
An army of Ukraine’s standard ought to have been able to move at a speed of 30km a day as it breached Russian defensive lines. “If you look at nato’s text books and at the maths which we did [in planning the counter-offensive], four months should have been enough time for us to have reached Crimea, to have fought in Crimea, to return from Crimea and to have gone back in and out again,” General Zaluzhny says sardonically. Instead he watched his troops and equipment get stuck in minefields on the approaches to Bakhmut in the east, his Western-supplied equipment getting pummelled by Russian artillery and drones. The same story unfolded on the offensive’s main thrust, in the south, where newly formed and inexperienced brigades, despite being equipped with modern Western kit, immediately ran into trouble.
“First I thought there was something wrong with our commanders, so I changed some of them. Then I thought maybe our soldiers are not fit for purpose, so I moved soldiers in some brigades,” says General Zaluzhny. When those changes failed to make a difference, the commander told his staff to dig out a book he once saw as a student in a military academy in Ukraine. Its title was “Breaching Fortified Defence Lines”. It was published in 1941 by a Soviet major-general, P. S. Smirnov, who analysed the battles of the first world war. “And before I got even halfway through it, I realised that is exactly where we are because just like then, the level of our technological development today has put both us and our enemies in a stupor.”
That thesis, he says, was borne out as he went to the front line in Avdiivka, also in the east, where Russia has recently advanced by a few hundred metres over several weeks by throwing in two of its armies. “On our monitor screens the day I was there we saw 140 Russian machines ablaze—destroyed within four hours of coming within firing range of our artillery.” Those fleeing were chased by “first-person-view” drones, remote-controlled and carrying explosive charges that their operators simply crash into the enemy. The same picture unfolds when Ukrainian troops try to advance. General Zaluzhny describes a battlefield in which modern sensors can identify any concentration of forces, and modern precision weapons can destroy it. “The simple fact is that we see everything the enemy is doing and they see everything we are doing. In order for us to break this deadlock we need something new, like the gunpowder which the Chinese invented and which we are still using to kill each other,” he says.
This time, however, the decisive factor will be not a single new invention, but by combining all the technical solutions that already exist, he says. In an article written for The Economist by General Zaluzhny (see here), as well as in a full-length essay shared with the newspaper, he urges innovation in drones, electronic warfare, anti-artillery capabilities and de-mining equipment, including new robotic solutions. “We need to ride the power embedded in new technologies,” says the general.
Western allies have been overly cautious in supplying Ukraine with their latest technology and more powerful weapons. Joe Biden, America’s president, set objectives at the start of Russia’s invasion: to ensure that Ukraine was not defeated and that America was not dragged into confrontation with Russia. This means that arms supplied by the West have been sufficient in sustaining Ukraine in the war, but not enough to allow it to win. General Zaluzhny is not complaining: “They are not obliged to give us anything, and we are grateful for what we have got, but I am simply stating the facts.”
But by holding back the supply of long-range missile systems and tanks, the West allowed Russia to regroup and build up its defences in the aftermath of a sudden breakthrough in Kharkiv region in the north and in Kherson in the south late in 2022. “These systems were most relevant to us last year, but they only arrived this year,” he says. Similarly, f-16 jets, due next year, are now less helpful, suggests the general, in part because Russia has improved its air defences: an experimental version of the s-400 missile system can reach beyond the city of Dnipro, he warns.
Yet the delay in arms deliveries, though frustrating, is not the main cause of Ukraine’s predicament, according to General Zaluzhny. “It is important to understand that this war cannot be won with the weapons of the past generation and outdated methods,” he insists. “They will inevitably lead to delay and, as a consequence, defeat.” It is, instead, technology that will be decisive, he argues. The general is enthused by recent conversations with Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google, and stressed the decisive role of drones, and of electronic warfare which can prevent them from flying.

Which is the Pyrrhic victory and which the Pyrrhic defeat? Assuming Russia wins against Ukraine, how much of a military machine will they have left to go after the rest of the Former Soviet Union?
#5
Putin has been in power for how many years now? Thirty? Something like that. If his goal is to reestablish the Soviet Union, you must at least admit his patience is admirable. I believe his goal in Ukraine is to keep NATO out of there...to keep Biden from establishing a US Naval base in Sevastopol. Biden has no more business in Sevastopol than Putin does in the Baltics.

14:59 The International Court of Arbitration in The Hague ordered Russia to pay DTEK $267 million for assets seized during the occupation of Crimea. Also, the Russian Federation must pay accrued interest and legal costs, the Ukrainian company reported. The court decision is subject to enforcement, and the damage can be compensated from Russian assets.
14:31 Near Avdievka, the number of assaults has decreased somewhat, but a new wave of attacks cannot be ruled out, said Alexander Shtupun, spokesman for the Tauride Defense Forces: “Near Avdievka, the number of assaults has decreased somewhat. But the enemy continues to try to encircle Avdiivka, fighting continues near the Avdeevka waste heap. From closed positions "Tanks are working, small groups of infantry are moving forward - the enemy is trying to prevent us from seizing the initiative. The enemy is gathering strength, regrouping, and perhaps in the near future will try to send another wave forward."
13:52 Germany transferred another batch of military assistance to Ukraine, which included, in particular, two TRML-4D radar systems for the IRIS-T air defense system, 12 armored personnel carriers, seven Primoco ONE reconnaissance drones, five surface drones, 32 satellite communications terminals, etc. In addition, Germany is preparing to transfer 25 Leopard 1A5 tanks, financed under a joint project with Denmark.

Also, according to the president, “defensive actions in Avdiivka and our offensive operations in the south continue.”
The meeting participants also discussed the arrival of shells, missiles and equipment, and heard intelligence reports on the situation at the front, in the international arena and in the enemy camp. In addition, the results of the grain corridor for October were summarized. “The dynamics are positive. We are finalizing the insurance format for ships, which will give us and the carriers confidence,” Zelensky added.
12:33 A group of senior Republicans in the US Congress called on Biden to transfer longer-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. “Ukraine’s need for deep-kill capabilities remains urgent, especially to engage targets throughout Crimea,” said Congressmen Michael McCaul and Mike Rogers, as well as Senators James Risch and Roger Wicker.

Johnson also said that funding for Ukraine should be “inextricably linked” to strengthening the US border with Mexico.
10:59 British intelligence notes that Russia has likely lost at least four long-range air defense missile launchers over the past week. Analysts predict that after losing several S-400s in Ukraine, Russia will have to weaken its air defenses elsewhere.

[Korrespondent] Zaluzhny’s statements continue to be discussed in Ukraine
On the front, “there will be no deep and beautiful breakthrough,” a deadlock has arrived that can only be overcome by a technological breakthrough, notes Valery Zaluzhny.
For the second day, Ukraine is discussing the resonant publications of Valery Zaluzhny in The Economist. The commander-in-chief admitted that there would be no breakthrough at the front; the parties had reached a technological dead end. Meanwhile, the Russians continue to attack Avdeevka in the hope of capturing it.
THE COUNTEROFFENSIVE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL
The progress of the counteroffensive, Zaluzhny explained, undermined Western hopes that Ukraine could use its advance to show the Kremlin that the war cannot be won, and thus change Putin's calculations, forcing him to the negotiating table.
It also undermined Zaluzhny's assumption that he could stop Russia by bleeding its troops dry. "That was my fault. Russia suffered at least 150,000 dead. In any other country, such losses would have stopped the war,” said the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But not in Russia, he added, where life is cheap and where Putin is guided by the First and Second World Wars, in which Russia lost tens of millions of people.
During the counteroffensive, the Ukrainian army had to advance at a speed of 30 km per day, breaking through the Russian defense lines. This is stated in NATO textbooks and can be calculated mathematically. Four months should have been enough for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to reach Crimea and fight there.
But the commander-in-chief watched as troops got stuck in minefields and equipment was destroyed by Russian artillery and drones. At first he believed that the cause of the malfunction lay in the shortcomings of the commanders, so he made personnel changes. Later it became more obvious that this may be due to the inability of the fighters to perform their duties in accordance with real conditions. And after visiting Avdeevka, Zaluzhny came to the conclusion that the problem lies in technological development.
“On the day when I was there (in Avdeevka), on our monitor screens we watched as 140 Russian vehicles were on fire - they were destroyed four hours after they came into the zone of fire from our artillery. Those who ran away were pursued by FPV drones,” the general said. The same picture unfolded during the attempts of the Ukrainian troops to advance.
“In order to break the deadlock, we need something new, such as gunpowder, which the Chinese invented and which we still use to kill each other,” Zaluzhny noted.
SITUATION AT THE FRONT
The occupiers unsuccessfully tried to restore the lost position near Khromovoy, Kleshcheevka and Andreevka in the Bakhmut direction, where the Defense Forces repulsed 15 enemy attacks.
Also in the Avdeevka direction, the enemy, with the support of aviation, does not abandon attempts to encircle Avdeevka, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to the General Staff, are staunchly holding the defense, inflicting significant losses on the Russian Army.
Ukrainian defense forces continue to advance in the Melitopol direction. And in the Kherson direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting a counter-battery fight, inflicting fire on the enemy’s rear.
THE SITUATION IN AVDEEVKA
According to military observer Yuri Butusov, near Avdeevka, Russian infantry has entrenched itself behind the railway and is preparing to attack the Avdeevka coke plant, a key complex of structures that controls the approaches to Avdeevka.
“The capture of the plant will mean a gradual but inevitable collapse of the defense and the capture of the city. Suddenly it turned out that during the war in Avdeevka not a single leader had built a rear line of defense, and we had to dig in now, there were no ready-made positions.
“Russian assault operations continue south of Avdeevka, where they are expanding a breakthrough in the area of a sand quarry near the village of Opytnoye, which is the second direction of coverage of Avdeevka. Here the threat also intensifies. In combat operations directly in the city of Avdeevka, Ukrainian troops are successful. The 110th Mechanized Brigade skillfully repelled all Russian attacks, completely restored several positions that the enemy captured during massive assaults on October 10-19, and even improved its positions in some directions. There is no threat of the enemy entering the city at the moment,” Butusov asserts.

Russia suffered at least 150,000 dead.
Both sides like to talk about the other side's dead. It's like the Five O'Clock Follies in Vietnam. Zaluzhny doesn't know any more than Shoigu and neither of them know any more than Westmorland did. I don't believe we'll ever know how many people have and will continue to die in this war. Too many is the only certainty.
