19:30 Zaporozhye direction. Verbovoe. Analysis of the Front Bird for 04.12:
“On this section of the front, assault operations or their imitation are carried out every day. We are recapturing what is left of the landings where the enemy is now sitting, and he, in turn, is trying with all his might to hold these lines and is looking for where to put pressure himself.
Weather conditions and the lack of greenery in forest plantations have a negative impact on both sides.
It is extremely difficult to carry out any actions covertly in such an environment.
Birds are always on duty in the air, everyone’s movements are “copied” and the destruction of this target begins with artillery or FPV drones.
If you are on the front line (living in a trench) and are not dressed like an onion, then you can lose to winter.”
18:27 The Ukrainian Armed Forces, with the help of drones, attacked an electrical substation in the city of Pologi (Zaporozhye region). A total of 12 VOG-25 ammunition was thrown at the site. In addition, enemy artillery was fired. One of the transformers is out of order. There are no casualties.
Earlier, on November 29, the Ukrainian Armed Forces subjected Pologi to rocket fire. Then 12 rounds were fired at the city.
17:55 Units of the Expeditionary Volunteer Assault Corps cut the last route along which the Ukrainian Armed Forces group was supplied in the area of Artyomovsk and Soledar.
17:27 Crews of the 122mm BM-21 Grad MLRS and 152mm 2S3 Akatsiya self-propelled guns of the Vostok group of troops deliver crushing blows to the enemy in the Zaporozhye direction -video.

16:37 Kherson direction situation as of 16.00 December 4, 2023
In Krynki the situation remains the same. Ukrainian formations continue to cling to a bridgehead in the populated area, trying to expand the zone of control deeper into the forest.
That night, two assault groups of the 1st Battalion of the 38th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy took up positions south of the greenhouses adjacent to the plantings in the south of Krynoki, which indicates a slight advance of the Marines to the south.
As a result of artillery and mortar fire from the Russian Armed Forces, the group was scattered and suffered losses. The wounded and dead were evacuated to the northern part of the village, from where they were transported to the right bank.
In general, the situation in the Kherson direction has not changed. Ukrainian marines are trying to move deeper, but without significant success. However, as the weather gets colder, the Dnieper bed will freeze, which will simplify the movement of walking groups across the river.
Considering that the Katran strike group has a bridgehead, more large-scale attacks should be expected with the glaciation of the soil and water. Just at this moment, the transfer of units of the 37th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade began to the left bank.
Previously, the unit did not participate in battles on the left bank, and it is fully staffed. The introduction of the 37th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade, on the one hand, indicates losses in other brigades, and on the other, an early activation of the front.
What is curious: with the advent of 37th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade in the LBS, characteristic changes also appeared in the features of the use of the Bayraktar UAV. Within a few days, the drone takes off from the Kulbakino airfield, which has not been observed over the past year.
