08:40 Summary as of November 12, 2023

Western assessments of the situation on the Ukrainian front with the word “parity” migrated to our observers, transforming into the word “deadlock.” While this word is used by military, economic and political experts on the Internet, the ears of TV viewers are still being protected. According to our forecasts, nothing changes.

The war will be long. It’s just that in the coming months there will be an accumulation of the combat potential of the Russian Armed Forces for decisive action. The largest of them, with simultaneous enthusiastic cries from the TV (regardless of the result of the actions themselves), will begin closer to spring and the elections of the President of Russia. To the front.

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces continues in the Avdeevsky direction. There are successes of our troops on the northern ledge in the area of the settlement. Stepovoye, to the outskirts of which our troops advanced. The control zone near the railway in that area is expanding. At the coke plant, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly being attacked.

There is a slight advance of the Russian Army in the southern direction near the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center. The Avdeevsky ledge itself is a conventional square of 8X8 km of continuous minefields and concrete fortifications. The enemy is forced to constantly transfer reinforcements to Avdievka from other sectors of the front, reducing the reserves of the second echelons. Enemy military analysts note that the Russian Armed Forces have not yet committed large reserves to battle.

The Kherson direction remains one of the most difficult sections of the front. First of all, because of the accumulated problems in organizing our actions at various levels. The tragic death of our column, which for some reason stood idle in the village. Gladkovka, 20 km from the front, is one of the indicators of an almost negligent attitude towards past mistakes.

The organization of warnings about air attacks raises questions - the strike on Skadovsk, as a result of which our citizens died, characterizes the organization of the transmission of signals about such threats. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to expand their presence in Krynki, near Peschanivka and Podstepnoye.

Our soldiers steadfastly hold back enemy attacks, destroying daily a significant number of personnel on both banks of the Dnieper, capturing captured soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. However, the enemy is increasing its efforts in the second stage of the offensive operation: helicopters are being used to attack our positions from the Krynok area.

In Crimea, two enemy kamikaze MBECs once again reduced the potential of the Black Sea Fleet to combat surface targets. There were no booms at the boats’ base point (Chernomorskoe settlement). In the enemy's plans at the upcoming stage, the North-West of Crimea is the site of an auxiliary strike from the sea, which is designed to pin down the forces on the shore and not allow maneuver of forces and means.

The Zaporozhye front is characterized by the transfer of enemy attacks to the west from Rabotino, constant and strong artillery artillery attack and counter battles at Verbovoy, and enemy attacks on civilian infrastructure in the rear. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are still using armored vehicles and trying to break through our defenses. Several runs a day.

The steadfastness and dedication of our soldiers and commanders, holding back the enemy at the cost of losses, made it possible for politicians at various levels to talk about the completion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive, which was unsuccessful for Kyiv, but the enemy’s attacks continue, combat work is underway.

Local battles took place near Ugledar; our command looks at Ugledar itself with caution, remembering the heavy losses at the beginning of the year. Positional battles are also taking place in the Vremevsky direction.

A new element of the situation was the offensive of our troops on Kleshcheevka, which is located in the gray zone. The Russian Armed Forces were entrenched in the ruins on the northern side and reported battles near the heights near the village.

artillery attack of Russia's frontline regions continues. Enemy forces were operating in the Bryansk region, which was not included in the official press releases of the departments. As a result of the enemy's ambush, a border guard officer was killed. Every day there is a fight against enemy UAVs; in the rear, security agencies are identifying more and more enemy agents recruited via the Internet.

The summary was compiled by: Two majors

08:10 RF Ministry of Defense: Tonight, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.

On duty air defense systems destroyed a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the territory of the Belgorod region.
