00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speaker discusses the heavy fighting that took place against Ukrainian positions and populated areas near Cupyansk, Limansky, Pokrovsky, and Kurahovsky. The enemy inflicted one rocket strike using one rocket and 104 aerial strikes with 165 bomb corrections. Additionally, they conducted over 4,500 artillery attacks, including 149 from rocket launchers. The enemy also launched aerial attacks in the regions of Sumsk, Harkovskaya, Donetskaya, and Zaporozhskaya oblasts, focusing on the Harkovske direction. There, five battles took place near the towns of Volchansk and Staritsa. Despite the intense pressure, the Ukrainian defense remains relatively stable, with the enemy attempting to resume their offensive actions but suffering losses as their attacks are repelled before reaching the front lines. The logistics of Ukrainian forces in the Kruhlykovka area are now being supplied through a longer route, but the enemy has failed to make significant progress and instead tries to advance in the northern or southern directions. On the Limansky direction, the enemy attacked Ukrainian positions 14 times, with the most significant advance occurring in the Novosadov area, where they occupied part of the territory including the town itself. Ukrainian forces were forced to withdraw, but the situation remains similar to that on the Cupyanok direction, with the enemy attempting to exit the Black Sea and advance inland.

00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speaker discusses the ongoing heavy battles in the areas of Kuпянск, Лиманск, Покровск, and Kuраховsk in the Hарьковska oblast. The enemy has created a buffer zone by occupying territories in Hарьковska oblast near the administrative border of Luганska oblast. The enemy is focusing on the area around Terny, Yampolе, and Novosadova, using the water reservoir on the Chорный Жеребец river as a natural barrier. The enemy aims to advance along the water reservoir towards the South. The Ukrainian forces are taking measures to stabilize the front and prevent further enemy advancement along the Oskol and Chорный Жеребец rivers. The enemy has managed to cross the Seversky Donets canal at the Chaсовий Yar front and is trying to establish a position on the right bank. The situation is complicated by the heavy rain and fog, which have helped the enemy in their advancement. The Ukrainian forces are currently blocking the enemy's advance and focusing on eliminating them in the area where they have crossed the canal. The work to localize this area is ongoing, and all forces of the brigade are being directed towards this goal.

00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," heavy fighting is reported in the areas of Kupanyan, Limansky, Pokrovsky, and Kurahovsky in the Donbas region. The Russian forces have advanced into a gray zone where there are no Ukrainian positions, using drones and artillery to target Ukrainian troops. Ukrainian forces have managed to block their advance using fire control and have killed some groups. A larger enemy force has managed to cross a canal, but they have been blocked and are currently surrounded. The Russian command is trying to send more troops to this area to establish a foothold and expand their territory on the right bank of the Seversky Donets River. The Ukrainian brigade is taking measures to prevent this expansion and eliminate the enemy on a small patch of land on the right bank of the canal. The focus of the fighting is the capture of Chasov Yar, but there is no movement of enemy forces deeper into Ukrainian territory. In the area of Selidovo, the Russians have been attempting to dislodge Ukrainian forces from their positions in the villages of Miroluka, Luch, Lesovka, and Selidovo. The Ukrainian defenders have repelled 56 attacks from the Russians, but they have had some success in the area of Selidovo, where the concentration of enemy attacks was highest. The Russians have been relentlessly attacking the Kurahovske direction, but they have not made significant progress towards Kurahov or Maximillianovka. The Russian command is shifting its efforts to the Pokrovsk direction, where they are making some progress but not enough to break through Ukrainian lines. There are currently 47 ongoing attacks on Ukrainian positions in the Kurahovske operational direction. The Russians are also trying to push Ukrainian forces out of the area north of Kurahovske water reservoir.

00:20:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speaker discusses the ongoing battles in the regions of Kupyansk, Limansky, Pokrovsky, and Kurakhov in Ukraine.

The Russian forces were unable to make significant progress and were forced to return troops to even out the front lines. The enemy had also attempted to advance towards Pokrovsk, but the Ukrainian forces were able to hold their ground. The Russian forces had also attempted to advance in the Orekhov direction, but were unsuccessful and suffered losses. The Ukrainian forces were able to repel all attacks and maintain their positions along the Dnieper River and on the islands in the river's delta. The situation in the Syevyorsk, Toretsk, and Gulyaypole regions remained unchanged, with positional battles taking place. The Volynsk and Polesye regions saw similar actions with the enemy forming offensive groups, but no significant changes in the front line occurred.

There is also the expectation that two North Korean soldiers may appear in the Bryansk region to replace Russian soldiers in guarding the Russian Federation's border. The situation remains tense, and there is ongoing artillery fire in the Chernihiv and Sumy regions. The speaker also mentions the ongoing operation in the Kursk region, where the situation is unpredictable due to renegade units conducting hit-and-run attacks. The Ukrainian forces have regained the initiative and are successfully capturing and destroying Russian forces in this sector. The 155th Marine Brigade of the Russian military has suffered significant losses in this area, and the Ukrainian forces are using modern NATO technology to inflict damage on the Russian forces. The Russian forces are using artillery and heavy weapons to try and gain the upper hand, but the Ukrainian forces are maneuvering to avoid casualties. In the Suzh region, the Russian forces are attempting to level the city with artillery fire, and there have been reports of the use of 240mm self-propelled artillery systems in the area. Despite the civilian population remaining in the city, the Russian forces are indiscriminately shelling the area.

00:30:00 In this section, Ukrainian forces are reportedly conducting defensive operations with a focus on repelling enemy advances and preventing infiltration of Russian forces in areas under their control. The Ukrainian military used air, rocket, and artillery strikes to damage enemy personnel, weapons, and drone control centers. The losses sustained by the Russian side include over 1,600 soldiers, 9 tanks, 30 artillery systems, 51 drones, 106 vehicles, and 10 special equipment. Additionally, intelligence from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense indicates that around 11,000 North Korean soldiers are present on Russian territory, with the majority of them located near Habarovsk and between Habarovsk and Vladivostok. An estimated 2,260 North Korean soldiers are expected to arrive in the Kurske region for potential military operations against Ukrainian forces. The arrival of this North Korean unit is anticipated within the next few days, with the passage of a Russian passenger train from Moscow to Vladivostok taking approximately nine days.

00:35:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speaker discusses the presence of approximately 200,000 North Korean special forces, which is an anomalously high number compared to other countries. The cost of equipping and maintaining these special forces is significant, requiring higher salaries and privileges to motivate them for dangerous missions. Despite their advanced training, North Korea's military as a whole is not well-equipped or experienced compared to foreign armies. The speaker also mentions that a portion of the forces provided to North Korea by Russia are likely to be used as regular infantry rather than special operations units. The speaker expresses doubts that North Korean command would trust them with complex operations and suggests that they may surrender or be taken prisoner if they are captured. Overall, the situation with North Korean special forces is unclear, and their performance in battle will reveal how they differ from regular infantry. The speaker concludes that most military analysts believe they will fight like regular soldiers.

00:40:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speaker discusses the military capabilities of North Korea, which is preparing its army for war with South Korea. North Korea is reportedly interested in disrupting the cooperation between Russia and North Korea, preventing the transfer of technology and weapons. The North Korean army, estimated to have 1.28 million personnel, includes 200,000 special forces. Their military equipment includes 35,000 tanks, some of which are Soviet-made T-34, T-54, and T-55. North Korea also has an older and primitive dynamic armor and outdated electronics. The North Korean air force reportedly has 545 combat aircraft, but only a few of them are relatively modern, such as MiG-29, MiG-24, and Su-2. The rest are outdated models, including MiG-17 and MiG-19. The North Korean air defense system consists of 170 S-75 and S-200 missile systems. Despite its large size, the North Korean army lacks real combat experience and modern technology. However, its nuclear arsenal allows it to threaten the world. The speaker also mentions that North Korea has sent several military defectors to Russia recently, and the Russian intelligence has provided more detailed information about these defectors.

00:45:00 In this section, it is discussed how a group of North Korean soldiers escaped their positions in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation and were later detained near the Ukrainian front lines. The speaker speculates on the potential use of these soldiers in combat against Ukraine and the implications it could have for involving other countries like France, South Korea, and Japan. The conversation also touches on the importance of advanced military and nuclear technologies, as well as the accountability of Russian military personnel involved in attacks on civilians, emphasizing that Ukrainian intelligence agencies are actively pursuing and eliminating Russian military criminals.

00:50:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the Russian Ministry of Defense is discussed in relation to attacks of retaliation, specifically the liquidation of two military criminals. The first case mentioned is the liquidation of Captain Second Rank Stanislav Ryzh of the Russian Navy, who was responsible for a strike on a shopping center in Vinnytsia, Ukraine, on June 23, 2023, resulting in many casualties. The latest known case is the discovery of the body of pilot Dmitry Golennkov in a garden in the village of Suponevo, Russia, on October 20, 2023. Golennkov was a pilot in the heavy bomber aviation regiment 33310, based at the Shaykovka airfield, and was responsible for missile strikes on civilian targets, including a shopping center in Kremenchuk and a residential building in Dnipro, resulting in the deaths of numerous civilians. The Russian military does not have a statute of limitations for military crimes, and it is important to remember that military criminals will be held accountable. The video also touches upon the geopolitical situation in Russia and the BRICS summit, where Putin attempted to show his influence on the global stage, but was met with criticism and protests from various countries, including India and China, for his actions in Ukraine. The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a strong protest note to the UN regarding the behavior of the UN Secretary-General, who did not attend the summit. The summit has not been going well due to disagreements among the participating countries.

00:55:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.10," the speakers Sin and Mo discussed the importance of alternative international payment systems for Russia to avoid sanctions, specifically mentioning the rejection of Swift and the use of a non-dollar or euro currency, a concept known as de-dollarization and de-euroization. They also mentioned that Brazil's president did not attend the summit due to unspecified reasons, and that Russia was trying to take the lead at the summit while South Africa and Serbia also did not attend. The speakers also touched upon the ongoing tensions between India and China and their inability to recognize each other's territorial claims, which could lead to a political crisis. Turkey was also mentioned as a country trying to balance its relationship with Russia and the West, with its government preventing the export of American military goods to Russia despite Erdogan's attendance at the summit. The speakers also discussed the ongoing financial sanctions against Russia and the possibility of creating new coalitions or parallel financial systems, but no consensus was reached. Russia's request for weapons and funds was met with resistance, and the summit continued with various global issues being discussed. The speakers also mentioned new sanctions against third parties helping Russia with its aggressive policies and the possibility of Turkey's decision to block American product shipments to Russia leading to the summit's outcomes. The Ukrainian ambassador to the United Kingdom was present at the summit, and Ukrainian pilots were being trained in the UK.
