⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the Belarusian Direction until 18:00 on 13 Nov 2022⚡️

🩸 The Ukrainian command continues to prepare for possible action by Russian forces in the northeastern regions of #Ukraine and from the territory of #Belarus.

#Kharkov Sector:

▪️ A reconnaissance and sabotage group of the Russian Armed Forces made a a sortie on the positions of the 228th Battalion of the 127th Territorial Defence Brigade near #Ternova. During the ensuing battle, the Russian SRG failed to gain a foothold and withdrew to its initial positions.

▪️ Ukrainian reconnaissance groups are deployed to control the areas bordering the #Belgorod region near the #Uda settlement and on the #Mezenovka - #Slavgorod line in the #Sumy region.

▪️ In #Poltava, the 179th AFU training centre is recruiting volunteers for a two-month training course in the Marine Corps.

#Chernigov Region:

▪️ The 55th Artillery Brigade of the AFU is being trained at the 242nd Training Ground under the guidance of foreign mercenaries.

▪️ Over 30 armoured combat vehicles with personnel have been moved to the #Galaganovka and #Semenovka districts on the border with #Kursk Region.

#Kiev Region:

▪️ Several Ukrainian SRGs equipped with small UAVs are operating near Rudnya-Ilyinetskaya, Staryye Shepelichi and #Benevka.

#Zhytomyr Region:

▪️ Units of the 143rd Battalion of the 115th AFU Territorial Defence Brigade conduct reconnaissance on the activities of Belarusian soldiers near the border with #Ukraine.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 20:00 on 14 Nov 2022⚡️

🩸 Before regaining control of #Kherson, the Ukrainian leadership considered abandoning #Bachmut as it lacked the means to hold the city.

However, the withdrawal of Russian troops to the left bank of the #Dnipro river and the AFU's entry into the city without a fight and virtually without losses allowed the AFU to disperse the surviving units in other directions.

Now the command of the AFU Operation Task Group Soledar has received orders to hold #Bachmut with all its might. The Ukrainian government has promised to move reinforcements into the #Bakhmut area to deter a Russian offensive.

▪️ Due to the danger of a breakthrough into the AFU defences near #Opytnoye, the tank reserve of the AFU's 53rd Mechanized Brigade has been moved to the southwest of #Bakhmut.

▪️ Assault groups of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade attempted an assault from pemplacements three kilometres west of #Otradovka and #Zaitsevo. The attack was repulsed and the Ukrainian formations were pushed back to their initial positions.

▪️ However, the AFU intends to continue attacks on the positions of the Wagner PMC fighters. 100 mobilised men have been moved to the sector from Chasov Yar after combat training.

▪️ Moreover, the AFU command considers an attack by Russian forces from the #Belarus area in the #Kiev region unlikely. Therefore, by 20 November, the AFU military defence units from the Kiev Garrison, which were previously supposed to take over the defence of the capital, will be transferred from #Kiev to #Bakhmut.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 Massive Missile Strikes by the Russian Armed Forces in #Ukraine: What is known as of 18:00⚡️

🩸 In the afternoon, the Russian Armed Forces once again launched a series of strikes on targets across #Ukraine. The launches were carried out by long-range aircraft of the Russian Air Force and naval ships. As on previous occasions, the attacks caused electricity and water supply problems in Ukrainian cities.

Despite recent deliveries of Western-made air defence systems, the AFU was once again unable to repel a Russian massive air raid. So far, the following cities are reliably known to have been hit:

▪️ #Kiev: more than five cruise missile sorties. One five-storey building was damaged, which may be a consequence of Ukrainian air defence. Power outages have started in the city.

▪️ #Zhytomyr: two incursions into critical infrastructure, tentatively the Zhytomyrska 330 substation, which has previously been hit by missiles by the Russian Armed Forces. Electricity and water have been lost in the city.

▪️ #Kharkov: power cuts after incoming attacks, underground shut down. Local authorities reported hitting critical infrastructure in Chuguevsky district: probably the Zmievskaya TPP.

▪️ #Lvov: a series of explosions, power and mobile phone outages. According to preliminary reports, one of the targets was a 330kV substation.

▪️ #Sumy: explosions in the area and power outages.

▪️ #Odessa: at least one rocket flew in. Power outage in part of the area.

▪️ #Kirovograd: two sorties, power infrastructure damaged.

▪️ #Volyn: hit energy infrastructure in the region, tentatively a 330kV substation in Kovel.

▪️ #Rivne: explosion, city partially de-energised.

▪️ #KrivoyRog: at least two explosions after arrivals.

▪️ #Khmelnitsky: at least two explosions after incoming flights.

▪️ #Kremenchuk: incoming, infrastructure facility hit.

Although power cuts have begun in the country, it is not gone everywhere: this indirectly indicates that autotransformers, rather than general control points (GCPs), are once again targeted. This reduces the effectiveness of the impact on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

▪️ In the #Lyman sector, a company of the AFU's 25th Airmobile Brigade, supported by armoured vehicles, attempted to break through towards #Chervonopopovka. Russian forces repulsed the attack and later hit the brigade's positions, killing two and wounding 15 Ukrainian paratroopers.

▪️ In the #Lysychansk sector, fighting continues near #Belogorovka. An enemy SRG conducted combat reconnaissance on Russian positions near #Zolotarevka. The Russian forces detected the enemy's concentration and launched a preemptive strike, forcing the Ukrainian militants to retreat to their initial positions with losses.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @Rybar's Analysis - Russian Armed Forces hit Ukraine's Energy System on 15 Nov 2022⚡️

🔎 Rybar's team continues its analysis of the consequences of a systemic fire attack on Ukraine's energy system.

#Kiev said today's raid was the largest such attack since the start of the SMO. According to Ukrainian resources, cruise missiles and kamikaze drones damaged 15 critical infrastructure facilities.

We have repeatedly written that strikes have a cumulative effect, with each successive raid resulting in increasingly grave consequences for the Ukrainian energy system. This is exactly what today's events have demonstrated:

▪️ Strikes on the #Zmiev thermal power plant in #Chuguev district temporarily completely de-energised the entire #Kharkov region.

▪️ Strikes on facilities in #Kiev led to massive overloads in the power grid and tripping of emergency frequency overload automatics, which was perfectly visible in the footage of pulsating power on and off.

▪️ Repeated strikes on the #Zhytomyr 330 substation resulted in power outages in this regional centre and areas around it.

▪️ Voltage surges and temporary power outages were reported in western regions of Ukraine after repeated strikes on the Lvov-South 330 substation in Lvov Region and the #Kovel 330 substation in #Volyn Region.

🔻 For the first time, #Moldova also experienced the consequences of Russian missile strikes: paradoxically, they were the consequence of the policies of the authorities themselves in #Chisinau.

➖ Restrictions of gas supply to #Transnistria led to decrease of generation of the Moldavian state district power station that with its capacity stabilized the situation in the south of #Odessa region and fed the energy deficit of #Moldova.

➖ Due to reduced capacity and increased consumption from Ukraine, exacerbated by a possible impact on the 330 substation in #Artsyz, an automatic protection was triggered at the TPP. The plant switched to self-powered operation, which caused consumers in Moldova and Transnistria to be disconnected.

➖ Also, a section of the 750kV high voltage transit line in #Romania was disconnected, which may indirectly indicate a possible short circuit from the 750kV switchgear of the South Ukraine NPP.

🔻 The lack of objective data from most of the hit locations made it impossible to determine exactly which elements of the energy facilities were targeted in each attack.

However, dense black plumes could be seen in photos and videos from the arrival areas. This indirectly indicates that it is highly likely that the strikes were again directed at power and automatic transformers rather than general control stations (GCPs).

🩸 Their preservation would once again allow Ukrainian power producers to reassemble emergency circuits and eliminate damaged equipment in a relatively short period of time. Yes, it will cause even more severe restrictions, but power supply to consumers will be restored.

The absence of strikes on the General Control Stations reduces the impact on the Ukrainian energy system, although even then its resilience drops with each attack.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @Rybar - Consequences of Tripolskaya TPP Fire - Analysis of Satellite Imagery ⚡️

Tripolskaya TPP is an 1800 MW thermal power plant in the heart of Ukraine, powering, among others, the city of #Kiev. There was extremely conflicting information on the impacts, so when the commercial Maxar satellites finally captured the square of interest to our team (and there was no cloud cover!), we immediately bought the image back.

🔎 Preliminary analysis showed that there were several potential missile and UAV locations.

▪️ Neither the switchyard itself nor the two 330 / 110 kV autotransformers located within the station were affected.

▪️ A close look at the power transformers at the rightmost transformer shows signs of fire on the ground and the power step-up transformer itself looks damaged by the fire. The power conduits to it, coming from the generator, are also damaged.

▪️ The last power step-up transformer is also damaged. Both incoming and outgoing conductors are also damaged.

▪️ The third point that caught our attention was the two demolished buildings on the edge of the fuel oil terminal of the power plant. As the purpose of these buildings is not fully understood, we concede that they may have been destroyed accidentally due to a miss on the main target located at the fuel oil facility of the TPP.

🩸 It is likely that Tripoli TPP's power generation capacity has been reduced by a third due to damage to the two power step-up transformers and is now at maximum 1200 MW of electricity.

Unlike previous energy facilities, the TPP neglected to protect the most important elements of the energy infrastructure with sandbags and additional fencing. Perhaps such measures are only taken at facilities owned by Ukrainian DTEK - this would explain such carelessness.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ A Map of Military Operations and the Situation on the Fronts on the Evening of 21 Nov 2022, publ. around midnight, 0:05⚡️

The ninth anniversary of an event that for many did not predict much, but in fact gave a tangible start to what we are dealing with today. On November 21, 2013, the Euromaidan began in #Kiev, the underbelly of which, the full description of its causes and consequences, is for future historians to understand. Meanwhile, nine years later, amidst rumours and hints of a freeze in the conflict, it is clear that there will be no freeze, but a hot winter.

⚔️ The Situation on the Fronts over the past 24 Hours:

⚫️ #Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

Artillery and heavy flamethrower fire on the AFU concentration areas thwarted an attempt to attack #Kuzemovka LPR. In addition, the militants attempted to attack in the direction of #Golikovo and #Chervonopopovka LPR, but were repulsed by Russian artillery. Three BMPs and one armoured vehicle were eliminated.

Two Ukrainian Uragan multiple rocket launchers were destroyed near #Pylnaya, #Kharkov region, which had been used to shell #Belgorod region.

⚫️ #Donetsk Direction:

The Russian army continues its assault on #Maryinka. Our forces have entered the city centre and established control over key sites along Druzhba Avenue. At the moment, neither side controls the administration area. There are regular army air strikes on AFU positions.

⚫️ #Ugledar Direction:

The militants counterattacked our positions in the areas of #Novomikhailovka, #Pavlovka and #Vladimirovka, as well as #Novodarovka, but were met with strikes by Russian artillery and the actions of assault groups. One tank, two BMPs and five armoured vehicles were destroyed.

💡 Today, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg made a new revelation, as if inadvertently admitting that the US had been providing military assistance to the #Kiev regime long before February 24. However, no one doubted that, as well as NATO's direct involvement in the conflict. In the meantime, it would do no harm to get acquainted with another example of the Russian arsenal - the 2C4 "Tyulpan", the most powerful mortar in the world, which is appropriately called "Death from Heaven".

🇺🇸🇭🇺Americans Have Final Word in European War’: Hungary’s Orban Hits Back at Western Elites

Amid ongoing Western efforts to draw his nation into a proxy war between NATO and Russia, the Prime Minister of Hungary promised his country’s leadership is “strong enough to keep the war away from our country.”

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had pointed words for those pushing Hungary to join the Western proxy war against Russia this week.
“There are some who want to force Hungary into the war, and they are not picky about the means with which to achieve that goal,” Orban told a Swiss outlet this week, a summary published on his website indicates.

But “Hungary’s leadership is strong enough to keep the war away from our country,” he reiterated.
Still, it’s an enduring challenge, the Hungarian head of state noted, because his countrymen are the people “most affected by the EU sanctions introduced against Russia.”

And it’s not just the Western-imposed sanctions against Russia which are taking their toll on the country. As videos posted to social media show, Hungarian men living in the Transcarpathia region have been forcibly drafted at gunpoint and forced to serve as Ukrainian soldiers.

“Ukraine is our neighbor where Hungarians live as well,” Orban reportedly stated. “They are being conscripted and are dying by the hundreds on the front.”
Unfortunately, at this point, the matter seems to be out of their hands.

“Europe has retired from the debate,” Orban lamented. “In the decisions adopted in Brussels, I recognize American interests more frequently than European ones.”
“In a war that is taking place in Europe the Americans have the final word,” he added.

The prime minister agreed with the journalist’s assumption that the deeper causes of Europe’s weakness should be sought in the European Union, because “it is destroying the nation states without replacing them with anything workable.”

Asked by the interviewer whether “the deeper reason for Europe's weakness is to be found in the European Union” because “it breaks up nation-states without putting anything workable in their place,” Orban responded in the affirmative.
“I see it that way too,” he agreed, adding “the European Union wants an ever closer union.” But since “we don't agree on the goal,” and only “on the way” to get there, any such unity is a fool’s errand, the prime minister suggested.

As for the ultimate direction of the ongoing Western proxy war against Russia, Orban insisted that “no one can win it.”

“There is a nuclear power with a population of 140 million up against the Ukrainians, while there is the whole of NATO up against the Russians,” he stated.

“This is what makes things so dangerous,” according to Hungary’s prime minister, who claims the conflict has transformed into “a stalemate which can easily escalate into a world war.”

Illustrating his knowledge of the Russian perspective towards the conflict, Orban recounted his February 2022 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who he spoke with in Moscow two weeks prior to the initiation of the special military operation

“Putin has a problem – this is what he told me – with the American missile bases already created in Romania and Poland, and with NATO’s potential expansion towards Ukraine and Georgia in order to station armaments there,” Orban explained.

“Additionally, the Americans terminated important disarmament treaties,” he explained, noting: “This is why Putin could no longer have a good night’s sleep.”

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛰 The Russian Military increasingly began to use Starlink Terminals in its Positions⚡️

🔹Oleg Kutkov, an engineer from #Kiev, who deals with Starlink terminals for the Ukrainian military, said that also started a lot of complaints about the stability of communication and speed on the frontline.

🔹"Indeed, the Russians have begun to actively use terminals on the frontline," says the engineer.

🔹Terminals are actively purchased and resold by Russian resellers. The purchase goes through third countries, to the front people.

🔹"It is unrealistic to track and cover these schemes, because our volunteers also vacuum terminals in all countries and pay with different cards," Oleg Kutkov says.

🔹These terminals operate exclusively on the territory of #Ukraine, including in the temporarily occupied parts of the front. The fact is that in a 20-km zone on the frontline, it is impossible to distinguish which side the terminal belongs to. This allows the Russian military on the frontline to also use Starlink terminals.

📌 "Therefore, either everyone is working or no one is working," Oleg Kutkov said.
