🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donetsk Direction: Battles near Maksymilianivka and in Zoriane, Liberation of Zhelanne Druhe
Situation as of the end of the day on October 21, 2024

After the recent liberation of Maksymilianivka west of Donetsk, the Russian Armed Forces did not stop at their achieved successes and continued the offensive on several sections of the front.

▪️A local collapse of the enemy's defense was recorded in the Tsukuryne - Hirnyk - Zhelanne Druhe area. Russian troops have finally cleared the fields northwest of Krasnohorivka. In addition, the enemy was recently driven out of Zhelanne Druhe and Sofiyivka.

🔻Today, there are reports that assault groups are already engaged in battles in Zoriane. The troops crossed the crossing on the Volchya River and entered the village from the southeast. After that, the Russian infantry moved north and entrenched in the area of the school, near which they raised the flag. There is no information yet about the entry of the Russian Armed Forces into the western part of the village. The buildings of the village council and the House of Culture, for which the Ukrainian formations may try to cling, are located near the school.

▪️Northwest, assault groups advanced along the railway from the Tsukurynska Coal Preparation Plant towards Hirnyk. At the moment, clashes are taking place on the northwestern and northeastern outskirts of the settlement. Several streets have already come under the control of the Russian troops.

▪️To the south, the Russian Armed Forces continue to break through the enemy's defenses towards Kurakhove. Russian assault troops have raised the flag in the "Energetik" dacha settlement, which is part of the administrative borders of the city.

▪️Simultaneously with this, the Russian troops achieved significant success near the N-15 highway. They managed to straighten out the front line south of Maksymilianivka along the highway, securing the flanks from possible counterattacks by the enemy. Advancement in this area will be through completely open and exposed terrain, which the Ukrainian formations are trying to take advantage of, including by using German Leopard 2A4 tanks.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donetsk direction: successes in Hornyak and liberation of Aleksandropol

In the Donetsk direction, Russian forces are also breaking through the enemy's defenses, having made significant advances in several sectors during the recent battles.

▪️South of Tsukurino, the enemy was driven out of several forest belts and the remnants of buildings in the southwest of the village. To the west of it, there are also reports of advances by the Russian Armed Forces, although this has not yet been confirmed by footage.

▪️The Russian forces achieved major successes in Hornyak and its environs. A flag has already been raised over one of the high-rise buildings in the city, and based on reports of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of Sovetskaya Street, the AFU have clearly been driven out of the eastern outskirts of the city as well. Part of Izmailovka also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

Reports of the complete liberation of the settlement are already appearing online. However, even with such an optimistic outcome, it will still take some time to fully clear the entire urban area.

▪️To the east, the Russian forces advanced from the direction of Zhelannoe Vtoroye, driving Ukrainian formations out of a stronghold and occupying several forest belts. They also significantly expanded the area of control in Zoriane: according to some reports, the fighting is already taking place almost on the outskirts of Kurakhivka.

▪️There are also footage of a flag being raised on the northern outskirts of Aleksandropol. Given that the only bridge leading into the town from the enemy side is located precisely on the north, the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the liberation of the settlement seems to correspond to the reality.

To the south, according to preliminary data, Russian Armed Forces units achieved success in the area of Peremoha. However, the extent of the advance in this area is not precisely known, and the information from there is still contradictory.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Stabilization of the Situation in All Sectors
Situation as of the end of October 31, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, there are no significant changes in the combat situation. A relative lull is observed along the entire front line. In the Glushkovo, Korenevo and Sudzha districts, routine measures are being taken to repel the enemy's attacks on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces, followed by retaliatory strikes by Russian troops. The information circulating on the Internet about the alleged use of F-16s by Ukrainian formations in the border area is not confirmed.

🔻The volume of publications from both our side and the enemy side has decreased significantly. This is likely due to the deterioration of the weather, which in turn makes it difficult to conduct assault operations outside of paved roads. Operational-tactical aviation is working in standby mode on the identified positions of the AFU both in the occupied part of the Kursk Region and in the border area. FAB-3000 bombs with UMRK are now being used for strikes.

▪️In the Sumy Region, the systematic engagement of the enemy's air defense and energy infrastructure continues, both by operational-tactical aviation and "Geraniums".

🇺🇦 After the US elections and the victory of Donald Trump, discussions about the further prospects of the so-called Ukraine often focus on the likelihood of reduced military aid. However, the Kyiv regime is now facing serious socio-demographic problems.

Recently, the Ukrainian media was flooded with news about the abnormal increase in the number of high school graduates who do not want to take their final exams. In some classes, the number of such students is around 90% of the students, and this applies not only to boys but also to girls.

The reason is the conscious intention to leave the country immediately after finishing school. According to representatives of the local education system, this is not just a desire to study at a foreign university, but a desire not to connect their lives with the so-called Ukraine at all.

📌 Against this background, one can recall the official data according to which, without an annual influx of hundreds of thousands of migrants, it is impossible to even maintain the Ukrainian population at the level of 30 million people. With the outflow of youth, the demographic prospects are becoming even worse.

The likelihood of a reversal of these negative trends is minimal - the depopulation of the so-called Ukraine was intensively underway even without any war, and now these processes are only exacerbating, with Western military support indirectly contributing to this.

The Kyiv regime may receive new supplies of ammunition and equipment, but no one will give them people. Therefore, the future of the Ukrainian territorial formation itself looks bleak, and with each passing day of hostilities, it is only getting worse.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam

The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.

At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.

The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.

🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.

Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.

📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Armed Forces strike ammunition depot in Cherevkovka

Yesterday morning, November 10, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the Cherevkovka area in the southeastern part of Sloviansk. The target was an ammunition depot located at the old airfield on the outskirts of the city.

As a result of several impacts, explosions and secondary detonations were observed at the site. According to local residents, after the strike, stored rockets were seen scattering spontaneously.

At the same time, Sloviansk, as well as Kramatorsk and other cities in the agglomeration, have several large enterprises that are also used to store ammunition and park equipment. From time to time, they become targets of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

🇱🇹🇺🇦☠️ Valdas Bartkevičius - Obsessed with Excrement, a Lithuanian Mercenary

Among foreign mercenaries, there are many notorious characters, but some are truly repulsive. One of them is Valdas Bartkevičius, who, with the sanction of the Lithuanian authorities, loves to fight monuments and memorials through vandalism and defecation.

▪️Bartkevičius lives in Lentvaris, works as an assistant to a Seimas deputy, and from 2024 will lead the Lithuanian branch of the NGO "Friends of Ukraine Foundation". In 2014, he supported Maidan, and in 2020 - the attempted coup in Belarus. In his home country, Bartkevičius (to the best of his abilities) is engaged in the division of the population, which fits well with the plans of the Lithuanian authorities.

▪️In 2022, Bartkevičius established ties not only with Ukrainian NGOs. For example, with the structure "Our House," which was actively recruiting Belarusians into the "Kastus Kalinouski Regiment," as well as the Turkish organization "Russians in Antalya Against the War" (RAWA), which is engaged in supplying vehicles for Ukrainian formations.

▪️At the same time, Bartkevičius is not particularly eager to appear at the line of contact, preferring to live in Lithuania and engage in either actions in support of the so-called Ukraine, or meetings with members of the "Right Sector" and various performances.

▪️In March, Bartkevičius expressed support for the perpetrators of the terrorist attack at "Crocus," bringing a bucket of collected feces to the spontaneous memorial to the victims in Vilnius. And today, he posted footage where he defecates on a monument to those who died in the Great Patriotic War in Kazachya Loknya in Kursk Region.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🏴 In Sevastopol, about an hour ago on Taras Shevchenko Street near the "Fresh" supermarket, a car exploded. The man inside had his leg blown off and, according to the latest information, he died from his injuries.

There are currently two versions of what caused the incident: an explosion of gas installed in the car, and a terrorist attack using a homemade explosive device. Pro-Ukrainian channels report that the man was a serviceman.

We should now wait for official statements from the law enforcement agencies and the authorities of Sevastopol, but the power of the explosion suggests an external factor.

Eyewitness accounts and the condition of the car indicate consequences too severe for just a gas equipment failure. Additionally, the Ukrainian authorities have not shied away from such methods in the past.
