21:02 Sole survivor. Captured Ukrainian soldier told about his last fight
Artyom Dadasyan, a soldier of the 32nd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, captured by scouts of the 1st Guards Tank Army near the village of Ivanovka in the Kupyansky direction, said that he was the only one who survived the assault on Ukrainian positions.
“I was in Ivanovka. At the last position I was in, your people were in the same position as us, literally 150 meters away from us,” says the prisoner of war.
He clarified that his group’s tasks were to go to positions and conduct observation.
“At first there was fire from an RPG from a neighboring landing, drones were making drops, and then gunfire began,” recalls the Ukrainian fighter.
When he saw that most of his colleagues had died, the Ukrainian soldier decided to surrender.
19:35 Avdeevsky direction, NGP exploration reports:
On the northern flank of the Russian Armed Forces, constant attacks forced the enemy to retreat from the village of Stepovoe to nearby forest belts. In order not to expose our infantry to the fire of enemy artillery, which, after the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, began to erase the settlement to zero, our troops retreated from Stepovoye and took up safer positions. The settlement has moved into a gray zone; occupying it at the moment is not beneficial for either side.
In the area of the railway, north of the so-called gardens, the enemy was knocked out of the forest belt, the positions were cleared. Pursuing the retreating enemy, our troops attacked his positions in the area of ??the so-called islands, small forest plantations south of the village of Novokalinovo, the fighting continues.
Rocket artillery launched massive attacks on the settlements of Toretsk and Novokalinovo.
Cannon artillery, army aviation and aerospace forces carried out strikes on the territory of the AKHZ, and the course of grinding down the enemy's manpower and materiel remains the same.
18:10 Kherson direction: narrowing the battle zone in the vicinity of Krynki
The Russian group of troops "Dnepr" is leading counterfightsin the vicinity of the village of Krynki, where almost a month ago the assault units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to enter and gain a foothold.
Despite the fact that a couple of days ago the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to expand the zone of control in the forest plantations south of the settlement, Russian fighters squeezed the Ukrainian formations out of the plantations.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to attack in the eastern direction and expand the bridgehead, but due to the constant attacks of the Russian Armed Forces on enemy concentration areas, such attempts are frustrated. True, Russian troops are not yet able to clear the center of the village, although they are using cannon and rocket artillery and Solntsepek TOS.
At the same time, Russian troops thwarted the enemy’s next attempts to land sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the areas of the Antonovsky Bridge and the Small Railway Bridge and did not allow them to advance to Poima and Peschanovka.
17:35 In the Krynok area, the enemy tried to attack today in order to expand the bridgehead. The attack was repulsed, the enemy rolled back to their original positions.
At the same time, the accumulation of enemy personnel continues on the islands on the Dnieper and on the left bank in the Krynok region. Despite significant losses due to strikes by our artillery and aviation, as well as successful actions of assault groups, the enemy continues to actively compensate for losses using the resources of three marine brigades, which were withdrawn from the Zaporozhye direction and the Vremyevsky salient and are now being actively spent for active operations on the Dnieper together with attached units of the Volkssturm.
It is expected that in the coming days the enemy will try to remain active due to the redeployed reinforcements. Also, in turn, we can expect further intensification of attacks on the central part of Krynoki, as well as on coastal areas on the right bank of the Dnieper. The situation remains quite difficult.
17:09 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for November 14, as of 17:00, additional information was received about civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:
n.p. Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district): - on the street. Stepana Babiya, 75, a man born in 1972 was injured as a result of an explosion on the PFM Lepestok mine.
As of November 14, 140 cases of bombing of civilians were registered, incl. 10 children, on PFM-1 Lepestok mines. Three of the victims died as a result of their injuries.
Additional information has been received about damage as a result of artillery attack by the Air Force in the cities of the Republic:
Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky district): – st. Shakhterskaya Slava, 12 – apartment building.
17:05 Avdievka on November 14: fighting gradually moving deeper into the administrative boundaries of the city. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the Ukrainian army to fight back. The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces still have a margin of safety, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage it.
Northern flank: Active fighting continues near Stepovoy, west of the railroad. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are resisting and have transferred units of the 47th Magura Brigade to this direction. Also west of Krasnogorovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold on the Avdievka-Ocheretino highway, but these attempts lead to nothing. To the south of the waste heap, the 110th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses: the denser the artillery fire, the more difficult it was for the Ukrainian military to stick out and move around.
Southern flank: battles for the Northern flank intensified. The advance of the RF Armed Forces in this area is approximately 100-150 m. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to snap back, but it’s getting worse. Fighting intensified on the south-eastern side of Avdeevka, west of the Yasinovatskaya junction. There, the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are no worse equipped than in the territory of the coking plant, but the lack of ammunition and losses are gradually taking their toll, due to which this area is defended a little worse and less densely than the rest.
16:37 In an abandoned house in Novopavlovka (Kherson region), law enforcement officers discovered a cache of ammunition from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In the Kalanchak district, members of the region's National Guard, together with police officers, discovered a cache of ammunition from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Under the concrete slab of an abandoned house were:
— more than 200 cartridges for Kalashnikov assault rifles 7.62mm and 5.45mm;
— two RGD-5 grenades;
- one RGN and F-1 grenade each with five fuses for them;
— a set of camouflage uniforms with Ukrainian Armed Forces patches.
According to preliminary information, the cache was intended for participants in the DRG of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The contents of the cache were deemed unsuitable for further use and were therefore destroyed with an overhead charge of TNT.
15:24 Situation on the left bank of the Dnieper on November 14.
Alyoshki: starting Monday, fire control over part of the Antonovsky Bridge and dachas on the left bank of the Dnieper has been strengthened. The enemy is not showing increased activity in this area, but reinforcements and a minimum of supplies on rubber boats are present. Barrel artillery and mortars are actively operating on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and aviation is operating on the right bank in the area of Pridneprovsky and Antonovka.
Kazachi Lagery/Krynki: The Ukrainian 38th Naval Infantry Brigade has been partially withdrawn for rotation; the main forces on the left bank at the moment are mobilized from the 86th battalion of the 106th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Due to lower training, units suffer heavy losses and have difficulty organizing supplies. Active actions such as going deep into the territory under the control of the RF Armed Forces, as well as any other assault activities, are not observed.
Rybalche - Zabarino: the situation is the opposite. In this area, the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the right bank are regularly attacked by Russian DRGs; increased activity of operational-tactical and attack aircraft has been recorded.
Stanislavsky lighthouse: attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to cross by boat are regularly stopped by ATGM duty crews and special forces units. Both special forces and artillerymen note that the problems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the left bank are “incommensurate with the efforts expended.” Every week, Ukrainian troops need from two to four companies of varying sizes to maintain a presence on the left bank and create the appearance of activity.
