Near Vuhledar Russian units are refusing to advance and writing letters of complaints
[Twitter] Near Vuhledar Russian units are refusing to advance and writing letters of complaints to their commanders and governors about their situation.

The cause: The 155th Marine Brigade tried to take Pavlika and Vuledar and got spanked hard.

And here is the letter itself from the 155th Marine Brigade that is on everyone's lips today. The brigade was ordered to advance to Uhledar via Pavlivka. They mention 300 casualties (dead and wounded) in just 4 days, and these are marines.


The grandiose claims about successful operations by Russians in Pavlivka and Uhledar direction have changed
for "urgent appeals to the higher-ups to do something about it", as Sladkov cries about it in his latest post.

"Vostok" commander Khodakovsky with an even more grim conclusion: he does not believe in the success of this operation anymore, despite the previously positive outlook.

But wait, there's more. Seems there was another Russian Naval Infantry (40th) brigade that was supporting the main assault.

Russian telegram author who previously spoke about losses at Pavlivka, put another update saying he believes the losses are far higher than reported by MoD, mentioning large tank losses.

He expects public outcry when the battle is over and surviving mobiks return.

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: November 6th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Korrespondent] 22:58 Ukraine's accession to the EU will take "more than a year or two years", European Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi said: "Given the massive work required to prepare for participation in the EU internal market and many other important policy areas, all preparations for accession, likely to take more than a year or two."

At the end of September, Varheli visited Kyiv. As the UP reported with reference to its sources, then "Ukraine received a clear signal: while Varheli is in office, he will not open negotiations on joining the EU." Oliver Varhelyi's term as Expansion Commissioner ends in the fall of 2024. The commissioner himself is from Hungary.

22:43 Due to the growing shortage of electricity in Kiev, on November 7, emergency power outages can be applied as early as 7:00, Ukrenergo warned. With such disconnections, the graphics will not work. On November 7, the deficit in the energy system is predicted to be 32% more than it is provided for by the schedules of stabilization shutdowns.

22:00 Zelensky said that as of this evening, stabilization power outages continue in Kiev and six regions. There are more than 4.5 million consumers without electricity, most of all now in Kyiv and the Kyiv region.

21:57 Ukrenergo reported that on November 7, power supply restrictions will be introduced for consumers in Kiev, Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava regions. In these regions, the network has received the most damage, for a stable and balanced operation of the power system, it is necessary to reduce consumption by 30%, the company said. Therefore, from 6:00 until the end of the day, schedules of planned restrictions will be put into effect. In addition, oblenergos can carry out emergency consumption restrictions using emergency shutdown schedules.

21:33 Zelensky said in an evening video message that Russia is concentrating forces and means for a possible repetition of massive strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure: "In particular, for this, Russia needed Iranian missiles. We are getting ready to respond. But also, please note: there are more and more reports that not a single Caliber carrier went on combat duty in the Black Sea. This is a very significant result that our defenders provided. The smaller the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the safer it is in the Black Sea."

20:59 The Kherson OVA reported that in occupied Beryslav, Russian troops blew up high-voltage power lines, destroyed about 1.5 km of supports and lines. The city was left without power, it is impossible to quickly repair the breakdowns - there are not enough specialists, equipment, and the occupiers will not allow this to be done. Probably, there will be no electricity in Berislav until the complete de-occupation of the city.

In addition, Russian terrorists mined water wells in Berislav. In total, there are 14 of them in the city, how many are mined - the information is being specified. The invaders also blew up high-voltage lines going to Kherson, so problems with power supply began in the regional center and a number of other settlements.

20:02 Tehran's claim that it provided "a limited number of drones to Russia a few months before the start of the war in Ukraine" is not true, US Special Representative for Iran Robert Melley said: "They sent dozens of drones to Russia this summer alone, and they have their own military specialists in the occupied parts of Ukraine who help Russia use them against Ukrainian civilians."

In turn, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried said that Washington will do "everything it can" to prevent Iran from supplying arms to Russia and will consider additional sanctions against Tehran.

19:47 The New York Times writes that Russia is trying to interfere in the midterm elections to the US Congress so that the Republicans won, who do not want to provide assistance to Ukraine. According to the publication, Russian bot farms have now become more active and are spreading posts denigrating Biden, as well as complaints about the use of taxpayer funds to support Ukraine.

19:16 In Berislav, Kherson region, the invaders ordered the local residents to leave before November 10 because of the alleged possible destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in the evening report.

Enemy defeats over the previous days in the Kherson region have been confirmed. So, in Kakhovka, a blow was struck on a building where there were up to 200 enemy servicemen. The enemy carefully hides the consequences of the strike, tough administrative and police measures are being taken in the city. A large convoy of military equipment was destroyed in the Radensk area, enemy losses are being specified.

18:52 The ROC said that the rector of the patriarchal residence at the headquarters of the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Federation, Archpriest Mikhail Vasiliev, died during a "special operation." Earlier, Vasilyev on television urged Russian women to give birth to as many children as possible, so that later "it would not be so painful and scary" to part with them.

18:15 The Russians today fired at the Vorozhbyan community of the Sumy region from cannon artillery, and later from a multiple launch rocket system. Three private houses were badly damaged, one of them was almost completely destroyed. Electricity and gas pipes damaged. Shells also exploded near an apartment building, damaging three apartments. Shrapnel killed one person, another was wounded, said the head of the OVA Dmitry Zhivitsky. Also, due to the shelling, the railway infrastructure was damaged in the section between Sumy and Konotop.

17:34 Among the Russian mobilized in Belarus, there is an outbreak of diseases due to non-compliance with sanitary conditions. Mobilized from the Russian Federation, who continue to arrive in Belarus, are forced to live mainly in field tents without proper sanitary conditions, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports. Therefore, there is a large-scale outbreak of various diseases among military personnel - mainly respiratory diseases (bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, exacerbation of asthma) and infections of the gastrointestinal tract. The scale of the diseases is such that Belarusian doctors are not able to cope with them. The invaders are forced to urgently send military and mobilized doctors from the Russian Federation to Belarus.

Also, according to Ukrainian military intelligence, tensions between the military of the two states are growing in Belarus. Numerous conflict situations are connected with the precedents of the disdainful attitude of the Russian military towards the Belarusians. The military police of the Republic of Belarus cannot restrain the illegal behavior of the Russians.

17:09 Deputy Head of the Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevsky confirmed that Kherson and about ten settlements of the region were left without electricity and water: “A high-voltage power line was damaged. The invaders have already“ reported ”about the attack. However, they did not specify that the attack was committed by them. Eyewitness testimony confirm this."

17:03 Zelensky said that he had a conversation with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: "We discussed macro-financial assistance to Ukraine for the current and next year. In addition, we talked about the importance of extending the grain initiative for world food security, as well as strengthening sanctions and confronting Iran who supports aggression against our country."

In turn, the European Commission announced that next week it would present a package of financial assistance to Ukraine for 2023. The total amount of assistance will be up to 18 billion euros, or 1.5 billion euros per month.

16:28 The "administration" of the Kherson region reports that due to the "act of terrorism organized by Ukrainian saboteurs", the supply of electricity and water has been cut off in Kherson and a number of districts of the region.

16:07 The Ministry of Defense stated that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has not lost a single HIMARS, while "Russia has lost humanity and dignity, not to mention hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition and thousands of soldiers they sent to certain death."

15:43 There is no reason to talk about an emergency in Kiev now - everything is under control in the capital, said Roman Tkachuk, director of the Department of Municipal Security of the Kyiv City State Administration. Commenting on today's information in the media, he explained that the city authorities are forced to consider all possible options for action in case of an emergency, including in the event of a complete and prolonged lack of electricity, water and heat supply. "But this does not mean that we are now preparing to carry out the evacuation. In order to respond correctly, we must have a plan for all possible cases," Tkachuk said.

15:02 As a result of the "act of terrorism" on the Berislav-Kakhovka power line, more than ten settlements of the Kherson region were left without electricity, the "authorities" reported. It is also reported that there is no electricity in all districts of Kherson.

14:00 Defense News writes that the United States is building up a constellation of satellites to monitor Russian troops in Ukraine. This activity is coordinated by the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The publication suggests that this is being done on the eve of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson direction. Now NRO has an orbital constellation of 50 satellites that track the movement of Russian troops, the course of hostilities, and also monitor the situation around the grain corridor.

13:54 The Romanian Foreign Ministry reacted to Putin's recent statement that after World War II, a significant area of ​​Hungary, Romania and Poland was seized by Stalin's order in favor of Kiev: "The Romanian Foreign Ministry rejects the statements made by the President of the Russian Federation in a speech on the occasion of the Day national unity, which erroneously suggest the territorial claims of Romania to Ukraine".

13:15 PMC Wagner creates military training centers in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, Prigozhin said. According to him, we are talking about local "militias" who will be trained for defensive battles in the event that the Armed Forces of Ukraine go on the offensive on Russian territory.

12:23 The "authorities" of the occupied Kherson region said that Ukrainian troops fired at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station with six HIMARS missiles, one of which hit the dam lock, there is destruction.

11:28 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of November 6.

  • personnel - about 75,930 (+490) people liquidated,

  • tanks - 2765 (+7),

  • armored fighting vehicles - 5611 (+10),

  • artillery systems - 1781 (+5),

  • MLRS - 391 (+0),

  • air defense systems - 202 (+0),

  • aircraft - 277 (+0),

  • helicopters - 260 (+0),

  • UAV operational-tactical level - 1465 (+3),

  • cruise missiles - 399 (+0),

  • ships/boats - 16 (+0),

  • automotive equipment and tankers - 4184 (+7),

  • special equipment - 155 (+0).

11:14 British intelligence writes that, according to reports, on November 3, Major General Alexander Linkov was appointed acting commander of the Central Military District of Russia. Linkov replaces Colonel General Alexander Lapin in this position, who was allegedly removed from his post at the end of October. If this information is confirmed, then this event will be the next in a series of dismissals of top Russian military leaders since the invasion began in February 2022. Earlier this year, the commanders of the Eastern, Southern and Western military districts were replaced.

Lapin was heavily criticized by both the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin. These layoffs are a pattern of blaming Russian top military commanders for failing to achieve Russia's battlefield goals. In part, this is likely an attempt to isolate and deflect blame from the Russian top leadership, analysts say.

10:31 Yermak stressed the need to "desovkovize" Russia: "Desovkovization of Russia can bring development and peace in the world for the next 100 years. The Russian terrorist autocracy with Soviet complexes should no longer exist. Ukraine's victory will be a triumph of democracy to ensure sustainable development and welfare of the civilized world ".

09:45 In Kiev, a total evacuation is planned in the event of a complete power outage, for this, 3 million people will need to be taken out of the city, writes The New York Times, citing the head of the Municipal Security Department of the Kyiv City State Administration, Roman Tkachuk. According to him, the city authorities have been warned that there will be a notification of at least 12 hours in advance about the critical situation in the power grid.

“We understand that if Russia continues such attacks, we may lose the entire power supply system. If there is no electricity, then there will be no water and sewerage. Therefore, now the government and the city administration are taking all possible measures to protect our power supply system,” the NYT quotes Tkachuk. But at this stage, Tkachuk stressed, the situation is under control and there are no reasons for mass evacuation.

09:34 In the Donetsk region, as a result of Russian shelling over the past day, one civilian was killed - in Toretsk. Three more people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.

08:49 Schedules of hourly power outages today are valid for consumers in Kiev, Kiev, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava regions, Ukrenergo reported.

08:17 As a result of a night missile attack on Zaporozhye, a two-story building of a commercial enterprise was destroyed, a large-scale fire broke out. According to preliminary data, one person died, and the rubble is being cleared. Another rocket fell on a land plot in the private sector. The blast wave and debris damaged the windows of private buildings and cars, said OVA head Oleksandr Starukh.

07:59 Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled enemy attacks in the areas of the settlements of Zybino, Kharkiv region, Belogorivka in the Luhansk region; Andreevka, Bakhmutskoe, Berestovo, Mayorsk, Makeevka, Maryinka, Ozaryanovka, Experienced, Pavlovka, Yakovlevka and Yampolevka in the Donetsk region and Shcherbaki in the Zaporozhye region, the General Staff said in the morning report .

According to the General Staff, on November 5, the invaders sent messages to subscribers of Russian mobile operators in Kherson with a warning about the alleged preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a massive shelling and with an appeal to leave the right-bank part of the city as soon as possible. At the same time, in some settlements, the invaders are destroying the towers of Ukrainian mobile operators.

07:19 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that the Russian Wagner PMC has lost from 800 to 1000 mercenaries in Ukraine, and over the past two months alone, more than 500 prisoners recruited into Wagner units have been eliminated. Ukrainian intelligence officers have also previously reported that many prisoners suffering from infectious diseases have infected Wagner's troops, to which Prigozhin responded that he does not discriminate on the basis of illness, ISW analysts say.

03:14 A battalion of those mobilized from the Voronezh region was destroyed near Makiivka, the Russian opposition publication Layout reports, citing survivors and relatives of the mobilized. One of the surviving servicemen, Aleksey Agafonov, said that the commander of the mobilized battalion, who were trained in military unit 2079, promised that the military would be brought to the Svatovo region, where they would join the "territorial defense" 15 km from the front line. However, on the night of November 1-2, the entire battalion was brought to the line of contact and ordered to dig in and hold the line of defense.

“We were thrown into landings, they told us to dig in, we had three shovels per battalion, there was no support at all. We dug in as best we could, and in the morning shelling began - artillery, Grads, mortars, copters, we were simply shot. When it all started, "The officers immediately ran away. In between shelling, we tried to dig in, but we were immediately identified by copters and simply shot. Out of 570 people, as many as 29, another 12 were wounded, the rest were all," Agafonov said.

He also added that before that, at least one more battalion from the mobilized ones had been defeated in the same positions. The information was confirmed to the publication by the wives of other survivors and Nikolai Voronin, who was mobilized from the Voronezh region, who also came under fire in the Makeevka area.

02:16 The Washington Post writes, citing its sources, that the Biden administration is privately asking Kiev to show an openness to negotiations with Russia in order to ensure that support from other countries that face voters' fears about stretching the conflict in Ukraine for a long time is maintained. years.

01:38 The head of the Zaporizhzhya OVA Alexander Starukh announced a missile attack on Zaporozhye.

War in Ukraine. Summary. 11/06/2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] 1. Avdeevskoe direction.

The battles for Pervomayskoye, Vodyanoye and Opytnoye continue. There are no significant advances during the day. Fights are positional in nature.

The enemy continues shelling the Donetsk agglomeration, and also rotates battered units.

2. Ugledar.

The offensive of the RF Armed Forces on Ugledar stalled in Pavlovka. The village has not yet been taken.

The offensive near Novomikhailovka was similarly slowed down. The redeployed reserves allowed the Armed Forces of Ukraine to stabilize the situation and prevent a breakthrough of the front.

Both sides, according to reports from the field, suffered serious losses.

3. Artemovsk.

Fights continue for Experienced and fortified areas east of Kurdyumovka. Also, our troops are trying to advance to the northwestern outskirts of Artemovsk, which is increasingly becoming an analogue of Popasnaya.

To stabilize the front, the enemy used part of the reserves that he had accumulated in the Chasov Yar area.

The assault on Artemovsk will most likely begin after our troops take Experienced.

4. Soledar/Seversk.

No significant changes. The front here is quite stable.
In Soledar itself, street fighting continues to the west of the Knauf factory. There are no special moves yet. Just like the counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy does not give any special results.

Under Spornoye and Belogorovka - no changes.

5. Svatovo.

The enemy continues probing our defenses in the direction of the Kremennaya-Svatovo highway. As in recent days, the attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not give any special results with significant losses in people and equipment. The situation in this direction is close to stabilization.

In the area of ​​Kreminnaya, the enemy is tied up by battles in the area of ​​Torskoy and Terna.

For the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, it is beneficial to maintain current trends until the second half of November - early December, when the situation in this area may change in our favor due to the attracted reserves for mobilization.

6. Kherson.

On the front line - without any changes, enemy attacks are repulsed quite confidently with losses for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Nevertheless, the enemy is accumulating forces in the Krivoy Rog, Nikopol and Nikolaev directions for the expected attacks on Berislav and Kherson. The RF Armed Forces are preparing for defense.

Nevertheless, rumors continue to circulate about the retreat to the left bank and the surrender of Kherson.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine, in turn, continue to state that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are trying to lure the Armed Forces of Ukraine into an attack on Kherson.

7. Zaporozhye.

On the front line - no significant changes. There are signs of the preparation of the landing of the Armed Forces of Ukraine across the Dnieper near Energodar and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, as well as the preparation of a strike in the direction of Pologi and Tokmak.

Rozhin in the ‘Grey zone' of Russian propaganda
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Ordinarily, I'd congratulate Rozhin on getting noticed (under the rubric of influencer), but I doubt this how he envisaged it.

And seriously? The organizers couldn't come up with a better adjective than Covert?

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[ColonelCassad] He fell into the "gray zone" of Russian propaganda as a "Ukrainian influencer" in the Pentagon report dated May 5, 2022.

The propagandist's Notebook editors (http://t.me/designersmil) have received materials from the Russian Strategic Initiative (RSI), a division of the US Department of Defense located in Stuttgart (Germany) and engaged in the study of Russia. The military is actively recruiting Western scientists.

Thus, in May of this year, the RSI held a conference "Information, War and Ukraine". Changes in the tactics of the Russian information war were studied. According to K. Keegan from Harvard, the Russian information space can be divided into open, gray and hidden instruments of influence (c) https://t.me/boris_rozhin/69522 ?

The main storage base had 94 missiles from 1989-1991. release, which, as relatively new, were used primarily against the People's Militia of Donbass. Total during 2014-2015. APU was issued from 60 ( https://fraza.com/analytics/259327-ukrainskij-arsenal-takticheskie-raketnye-kompleksy-tochka-u ) to 95 ( https://www.dsnews.ua/blog/tochka-ui -tayfun-kak-v-ukraine-moderniziruyut-rakety-i-prichem-tut-kitay-03082021-432857 ) Tochka-U missiles. A number of rockets were used during the exercises ( https://korrespondent.net/ukraine/4382145-vsu-pokazaly-pusky-raket-tochka-u ).

In the period from February to November 2022, the RF Ministry of Defense announced the interception of 194 missiles, as well as the destruction of 18 launchers and 2 transport-loading vehicles (TZM) of the Tochka-U TRK of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the NVO zone. The peak of interceptions occurred in June (57 missiles), after which the number of interceptions steadily decreased every month. The frequency of application of the complex has also significantly decreased. In November, the shooting down of 1 Tochka-U missile was announced, and the previous statement about the interception was 3 weeks behind the November one.

Taking into account the above, as well as the data of the RF Ministry of Defense report dated September 30, 2022 about delivering strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces on the assembly shops of the Grom-2 and Tochka-U fuel and air defense systems of the enemy on the territory of the Yuzhmash plant, we can talk about the actual cessation of the use of the discussed missile system by the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In our opinion, this circumstance is caused by the exhaustion of stocks of Tochka-U missiles, and not by the destruction of a critical number of its serviceable launchers.

Taking into account the deliveries of Soviet military equipment from countries that previously or currently operate them, we can assume that the operators of the Tochka-U TRK (Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Poland and the Czech Republic) can supply a certain number of missiles of this so-called complex . Ukraine. We also assume that a small number of missiles remained with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But all these probabilities practically exclude the possibility of launching 10 missiles a day, as the Russian Defense Ministry announced in June and July 2022.

Thus, using the example of the TRK "Tochka-U" we can observe the natural cessation of the operation of one or another type of Soviet military equipment. Unable to replenish missile stocks through stable external supplies, as well as in the absence of its own full-fledged military-industrial production, an acute shortage of ammunition makes dozens of pieces of equipment that are part of the Tochka-U complex absolutely useless.

The following commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
Interceptions of "Points", as well as arrivals of "Points", have become really few in the last couple of months. At the same time, no critical number of videos with destroyed launchers (unlike various self-propelled guns and towed howitzers) was observed.
