📍 Why are the battles at Severny important?
There has been a lot of talk lately that active operations on the northern flank could cut off the supply routes to Avdeevka. Despite this, there is another way: through the village of Severnoye on the southern flank. However, it also raises many questions.
It is worth noting that the fighting here has been going on for a long time: any phase of the offensive on Avdeevka was always accompanied by battles north of Vodyanoye. This made it possible to occupy heights and a number of forest plantations, but in some areas there is still about 1 kilometer to the outskirts of Severny. It seems that the distance is quite short, but you will have to walk it almost through an open field (there is only one small forest area along the road to the village). And this is already a rather difficult operation. However, if you manage to enter the village, then it will be easier.
The settlement itself is quite small (153 people according to the 2001 census) and covered with trees.
The houses are one-story.
The importance of Severny lies in the fact that an important road to Avdeevka passes through it, together with the surrounding Tonenky. Also, its capture will simplify fire control over the roads from Orlovka and will allow developing the offensive towards Lastochkino.
Thus, Severnoe is one of the central links of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense on the southern flank. Active fighting is underway here now and will continue further and, if successful, will allow for significant advances now to the west of Avdeevka

Two tank crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦 near Makeyevka refused to go on the attack because all the armored personnel carriers that were supposed to cover them were destroyed. A “barrier detachment” immediately pulled up to them and forced them to attack.
⚡️⚡️⚡️ #Инсайд Our sources from the General Staff report that the defense of Avdeevka is actually led by Tarnavsky, who is transferring all reserves from the southern front to the defense of the city. The main task now for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is to not allow the enemy to tighten the Avdeevka noose, turning the situation into the Avdeevka cauldron.

Our sources from the OP said that Ermak is very angry with Zaluzhny for his actions and would have fired the Commander-in-Chief long ago, but the Western partners are against it. The President's Office will continue to remove Zaluzhny's people from leadership positions in the army in order to reduce the influence of the Commander-in-Chief on the Armed Forces of Ukraine to a minimum.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 The Battle for Avdeevka: a critical situation has developed and there is a real threat of losing the city, - Butusov One of the most famous Ukrainian military propagandists acknowledged the significant successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction. ▪️Russian troops crossed the railway line near the village of Stepnoye and began assault operations near the village itself, north of Avdeevka. Russian infantry has secured a foothold behind the railway, amassing to expand the bridgehead and to attack the Avdeevka coke plant - a key complex of structures that controls the machinations to Avdeevka. Capturing the plant will mean a gradual but inevitable assembly of defenses 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 they needed to dig in now, there were no ready-made positions. ▪️The Russian assault continues south of Avdeevka, where they are expanding a breakthrough in the sand quarry area near the village of Opytnoye, which is the second direction of coverage of Avdeevka. Here the threat is also increasing.

💢Operational situation in the area of military operations of the day November 05-06, 2023 Relevance at 09:30
🔻In the Kupyansko-Kremenny direction, Russian troops managed to advance in the Kislovka area, taking several strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There were active battles in the Makeevka area, where the AFU continues to draw up reserves in order to prevent a breakthrough.
🔻In the Artemovsk direction, fighting continues near the railway at the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka line. Our assault groups achieved success to the southeast of Artyomovsk , advance in some areas was up to 800 meters . In turn, Ukrainian formations are not giving up attempts to develop a counteroffensive.
🔻 On the Avdeevsky sector of the front, the AFU carried out successful counterattacks on the northern flank - positions were occupied near the railway in the Krasnogorovka area. On the southern flank, Russian troops are making progress, approaching the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortified area in the Khimik microdistrict .
🔻In the Orekhovsky area, an active transfer of Ukrainian formations to the contact line is recorded:
▪️to the west of Verbovoy, the 80th Airborne Shattered Brigade is being re-equipped;
▪️formations of the 82nd Airborne Shattering Brigade and the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade are converging on Rabotino and Novoprokopovka ;
▪️the transfer of 128 OGShBr is currently suspended, which may be due to the recent attack in the village. Dimitrovo .
Apparently, the main task of the Ukrainian formations in the direction is to pin down the Russian Armed Forces.
🔻In the Kherson direction, the AFU continues to hold a bridgehead in the village. Krynki , occupying the central part of the settlement and establishing supplies through Frolov Island from the right bank. In turn, Russian troops hold the initiative in the Vremevsky sector .

The servants of the People in parliament have already developed a draft bill on holding presidential elections next year.
The main nuance of the “Servants” bill is that everything is written there in such a way that any community/settlement can be excluded from the elections (most likely those regions where Ze and OP have poor ratings will be excluded).
According to our information, this is being done to push electronic elections through Diya.
Back in the summer, we found out that the government was developing a bill for elections that would change the entire mechanics of the electoral process.
According to our source, there is even a clause that the pre-election information race will be prohibited - this was done specifically to protect Ze’s inflated rating.
At the same time, many real opposition parties/candidates will be removed from the elections, leaving only their satellites.
ZeErmak know that they have a huge chance of losing the elections, which threatens them and those around them with “prison.” They will do everything to keep power in their hands. Use any methods.
The main thing is that the intriguers from the 95th quarter “don’t finish the game” before the military Maidan...
🇺🇦🎥🇺🇦 Khorenko
The Ukrainian Armed Forces Special Forces posted the video “7 Theses of Combat General Khorenko.” The video is clearly nostalgic. Theses can also be understood in two ways.
For example: “There are many good leaders in the offices. But they don’t command troops from the offices. They don’t command without experience.” An obvious allusion to the civilian Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, who wrote a proposal for the removal of Khorenko.
Well, the last thesis about “hunting alone for enemies who are always there” will clearly not please Ermak and Ze☝🏻
The process of setting up the army against the President and his team has begun 🧩
Colleagues correctly noted that there are a lot of “Easter eggs” in the soldiers’ public address, for those in the know.
We have been inside for a long time that the quiet conflict between the military and office workers is growing. The military is tired of the office people meddling with their strategies, which have already caused a lot of troubles and “defeats.”
The confrontation between Zaluzhny and Zelensky continues, and the desire of the office officials to remove the commander in chief may turn out to be Finnish for ZeErmak.
Last year, it was precisely because of our and colleagues’ insiders that Zaluzhny retained his position, although Ermak did everything to remove him. We are the first to receive this insight and reveal the OP’s intrigue.
We also wrote that Ermak never forgives and will try to remove the “extra.”
📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 6 November 2023; pub. 07:00📍
▪️ The RF Armed Forces carried out a massive attack at night using rocket weapons and Geranium UAVs. The enemy's facilities in #Odessa were hit. They included warehouses with weapons and ammunition, factory premises and port infrastructure. The enemy's air defence failed, again the footage of AFU anti-aircraft missiles falling to the ground was caught on video.
▪️ In the #Kherson region the RF Armed Forces destroy the enemy with artillery fire and air strikes in the areas of the settlements of #Lvovo, #Tyaginka, #Kherson, where the enemy concentrates its forces before crossing the #Dnieper. The enemy holds the same small areas of terrain on our bank as before, there is fighting. The infantry of the AFU is being supplied with "Baba Yaga" drones, and the enemy has no shortage of FPV drones, hunting for our equipment. A new element is the concentration of the enemy northeast of the known combat zone in the vicinity of the village of #Respublikanets (the enemy bank of the #Dnieper). Artillery of the RF Armed Forces has also been working on these enemy positions for the last few days.
▪️ On the #Zaporozhye front, fighting near #Verbovoye. The enemy is trying to disrupt our defence system with artillery fire, there are always attack drones in the air. In the area of #Orekhov the AFU is concentrating attack forces, a new wave of enemy attacks is expected.
▪️ In the #Vremyevka sector, positional battles continue.
▪️ In the #Avdeyevka sector there are local battles. The enemy positions in the villages of #Novokalinovo and #Keramik on the northern flank are under massive fire from our MLRS.

The American news agency Bloomberg is talking about a bomb deal between B. Putin and H. Haftar for a Russian naval or air base in eastern Libya. This defense deal has alarmed Washington for several reasons:
First, Turkey controls western Libya and Russia controls eastern Libya. The two countries fly outside France, Italy, USA.
Russia and Turkey will extend control over the Sahel Zone. We remind you that recently France as well as the USA began to withdraw from a series of countries in Africa such as Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, etc.
Russian ships will be literally next to Italy and Greece, controlling southern Europe. The constant strategic goal of the USA, to keep Russia out of the Mediterranean, is on the way.
Currently, the Russian fleet has a naval base in Tartus, Syria. The emergence of another in Tobruk will greatly expand Russia's capabilities in the Middle East.
Fifth, and most importantly, three countries in the row have as a strategic orientation the BRICS, Algeria, Libya and Egypt which has already entered. Algeria and Libya can close the entry/exit between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Another problem that has arisen is the emergence of a Russian naval base in Sudan, on the Red Sea, which will give Moscow permanent access to the Suez Canal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Peninsula
Bloomberg: Russia’s plans to establish military bases in Libya spark concern in U.S. over potential ‘to spy on all of E.U.’ — Meduza

New data has appeared on the destroyed officers of the 128th mountain assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the award ceremony
- Colonel Vladimir Vozny;
- Major Sergei Kuznev;
- captain Dmitry Milyutin;
- senior lieutenant Peter Trofimenko.
Deputy Kucherenko from Tymoshenko’s party said that as a result of a Russian missile attack on the award ceremony for soldiers and officers of the 128th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 28 people were killed and 53 were wounded.
Among the dead were lieutenant colonels, majors and the brigade chaplain.One of the main versions of what happened is “a tip from one of our own” - allegedly one of the Armed Forces of Ukraine worked for the Russian special services and leaked information about the event. No evidence of this has yet been presented publicly.
In any case, excellent work by Russia intelligence and missile specialists.
Russia is "waiting for the temperature to drop below zero" before launching illegal strikes on Ukraine's energy system, Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of Ukraine's Military Intelligence (HUR), said in an interview with RBC Ukraine on Nov. 6.
The illegal strikes will start "when there is a greater load on our power system," during the onset of cold weather as electricity consumption reaches its peak. Temperatures in Kiev are currently unseasonably warm.
Intelligence indicates that Russia will launch Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles in the illegal attacks, as they have not been used since late September, pointing to possible stockpiling.
Russia manufactured 40 Kh-101 cruise missiles and 20 Kalibr cruise missiles in October 2023 alone, as well as four Kinzhal ballistic missiles, Skibitskyi said.
These account for 64 of the 115 high-precision missiles with a range over 350 kilometers that Russia produced in October.
Russia now has about 870 high-precision missiles in its arsenal, Skibitskyi said.
