Daily Report from the Ukraine Field for 2022-11-11

After the capture of Kherson, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin to prepare for the battle of Crimea - @voenkorKotenok
The withdrawal of troops from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left is a difficult but necessary decision, that poses completely different tasks for the Russian army.
The decision to abandon Kherson by Russian troops did not come as a surprise. This step had been predicted by military experts. Even the date of the start of the withdrawal was known - November 10 but the RF Armed Forces command announced the operation a little in advance, which was a tactical move.
Preparations for the abandonment of Kherson had been underway since late October; our military and volunteers were conducting a mass evacuation of the population. People were asked to leave not only Kherson but also dozens of other settlements. From a moral point of view, it is difficult to assess this decision by our military leadership . In fact, it is a scar on the heart.
In the current configuration of combat operations, our command has made a clear bet on defense. A huge bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnieper held the danger for our troops - now the military initiative belongs to the enemy. Anyone who asserts the contrary, will err against the truth.
The withdrawal of our troops from the right bank of the Dnieper to the left bank can last from several days to a week. Kherson itself is now in a "suspended" status, the enemy has not entered there yet, and our troops have prepared for active defense. In the near future, the Russian troops should be ready for new activations of the enemy in other parts of the front.
Many experts now forecast a relative lull at the fronts due to the onset of winter and the sharp deterioration of weather conditions. Nevertheless, the situation for our troops remains very worrying. We are releasing forces engaged in the Kherson direction, but no less, and perhaps even greater forces are being released by the AFU.
Soon the enemy will be able to release up to ten brigades whose personnel have significant combat experience. These forces will certainly be re-equipped, and will receive new weapons from the West. The enemy will try to redeploy these units to other parts of the front: to the south-east of Kharkiv Region, to Donbass, and to the Zaporizhzhia direction.At the moment, the AFU has technical superiority over our troops in certain parts of the front, as Ukrainian units are being actively "pumped up" with Western equipment and weapons.
As for the return of the right bank of the Kherson region under the control of the RF Armed Forces, I think our command has no such task in the near future. Of course, everything will depend on further developments in the theatre of military operations. Nevertheless, the issue of the liberation of such important cities as Odessa and Mykolaiv is also postponed indefinitely. After the abandonment of Kherson, this looks like a very difficult task to achieve.
The withdrawal of our troops and the build-up of combat initiative on the part of the AFU may pose a threat of transferring hostilities to the Crimean region as well. This is evidenced by the enemy's preparations for fighting in the Crimea in the spring and summer of 2023. Ukraine is now actively increasing the production of small vessels (from boats and other things ) capable of transporting paratroopers. According to my information, all remaining shipbuilding facilities in Kiev are now at full capacity.
All this suggests that Kiev is planning a large-scale amphibious operation in Crimea in the future. Ukrainian Marines have been completely withdrawn from the frontlines and are actively training under British instructors. Apparently, Crimea will face a new onslaught next year. Kiev, led by the West, is preparing a combined operation to try to seize the peninsula.

⚡️ (http://t.me/voenkorKotenok/42575)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Highlights of Russia's #SMO in #Ukraine at 20:31 on 10 Nov⚡️
1. #Kherson:
On the right bank the withdrawal of troops from current positions continues. Part of the force has already been withdrawn to the left bank.
The enemy occupied more than 10 settlements by evening, including #Snigirovka. An AFU demining team was destroyed near #Aleksandrovka.
Civilian withdrawal from #Kherson continues, but the city itself is not yet under AFU control, nor is #Berislav. It is likely to take several days for the AFU to establish full control.
The Russian Armed Forces are setting up additional positions on the left bank. The Antonovsky bridge is likely to be blown up in the next 1-2 days.
2. #Donetsk Direction:
There are no significant changes in #Avdeevka, #Vodyanoye and #Pervomayskoye.
Fighting for the fortifications in #Opytnoye continues.
The enemy continues shelling the #Donetsk - #Gorlovka agglomeration.
3. #Ugledar Direction:
Our troops took #Pavlovka. A mopping-up operation is underway. The enemy is trying to counterattack and regain control over #Pavlovka.
Fighting continues near #Novomikhailovka.
Whether there will be a further offensive on #Ugledar itself remains to be seen.
4. #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut):
Fighting continues for #Opytnoye and in the direction of #Kurdyumovka. There are small movements in our favour.
There is also fighting on the outskirts of #Artemovsk.
Do not wait for the capture of #Opytnoye to take the city.
5. #Soledar:
After the capture of #Bakhmutskoye, our troops are intensifying pressure on the enemy in #Soledar itself.
To the north of the city fighting continues for #Belogorovka; according to various estimates our troops control 40-50% of the settlement. The enemy resists stubbornly.
6. #Svatovo:
In general, the situation has not changed significantly. All enemy attacks were repulsed with losses for the AFU. The AFU failed to break through to the #Svatovo - #Kremennaya route. Nevertheless, there are signs that new attacks are being prepared in the direction of the highway, so intense fighting will clearly continue here.

⚡️ (https://t.me/mig41/22114)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Regarding the Situation in #Kherson, publ. 0:27 on 11 Nov 2022⚡️
1) there is a lot of alarming information online
2) All of it, in fact, is a retelling of 2-3 sources of its launch
3) to what extent these sources are true, we cannot say. But all the other hundreds of reports are their interpretations
4) "the sound of motorboats on which the Russian soldiers are fleeing" is actually an old video with the sound of an Iranian "moped" flying
5) explosions and flames on the Antonov bridge really happened
6) There is no "Russian group of 20 thousand people" on the right bank
7) A Ukrainian officer with the nickname "Shtrilits" (no, these are not fake pseudo-Ukrainian resources) writes that the information about the encirclement of Kherson by the AFU is nonsense

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/215)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the #SMO for 10 Nov 2022⚡️
The Russian forces continue the withdrawal and a huge part of the units were moved to the #Dnipro left bank along with equipment, so the info that appeared on social media at night about the alleged tens of thousands of troops remaining in #Kherson does not correspond to reality.
#Belgorod Oblast:
▪️Ukrainian militants shelled border villages. A substation was damaged and there were temporary power supply problems in 6 settlements, no casualties.
#Starobelsk Direction (MAP (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/212)):
▪️The Ukrainian command is pulling down its reserves and preparing to resume an offensive against the Russian positions along the #Yagodnoye - #Orlyanskoye line in the #Kupyansk area. Enemy reconnaissance UAVs are operating near #Olshany and #Kislovka.
▪️ On the #Svatovo front, units of the 22nd Battalion of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade and the 233rd Battalion of the 128th Territorial Defence Brigade of the AFU tried to advance on Russian positions in #Kuzemovka. Russian forces repelled the attack, forcing the Ukrainians to retreat to their initial positions.
▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled #Svatovo using HIMARS MLRS, damaging residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, including an asphalt plant.
▪️ In the #Lyman area, assault units of the 66th Mechanized Brigade and the 25th Airborne Brigade tried to conduct reconnaissance-in-force in the direction of #Chervonopopovka. The advancing enemy grouping was detected from the air and dispersed by heavy Russian artillery fire.
#Soledar Direction (MAP (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/213)):
▪️On the #Bakhmut front, Wagner PMC troops continue to storm Ukrainian positions in the southeastern part of #Bakhmut and in the #Kurdyumovka area. They have also advanced towards #Andreevka and #Kleshcheyevka.
▪️ In the #Lysychansk sector, clashes continued in #Belogorovka. To reinforce its defences, the enemy command moved units of the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade and armoured vehicles of the 81st Airmobile Brigade to the #Serebryanka - #Belogorovka line.
▪️ Ukrainian HIMARS rocket launchers fired seven missiles at civilian infrastructure in #Lysychansk. State Duma deputies and Russian Federation Council of Federation deputy chairman Andrey Turchak were in the city on a working visit; no one from the delegation was injured.
#Lugansk People's Republic:
▪️ Ukrainian HIMARS MLRS hit residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in #Stakhanov, #Artomovsk, #Krinichnoye, and #Kirovsk. At least two people were killed.
#Donetsk Direction:
▪️ Ukrainian militants shelled #Donetsk, #Zaitsevo, #Gorlovka, #Yasinovataya and other settlements in the agglomeration. There are fatalities among civilians.
#Southdonetsk direction (MAP (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/214)):
▪️ Russian forces marine infantry and fighters of the DNR's Kaskad OBTF are completing the mop-up of #Pavlovka. Ukrainian units counterattack on the northern outskirts of the village in an attempt to regain lost positions.
▪️Positional fighting and mutual artillery fire continue near #Novomikhailovka and #Prechistovka.
#Nikolaev - #Berislav Direction on Southern Front:
▪️ The Russian Forces continue to withdraw to positions on the left bank of the #Dnipro River, where the units are redeployed in an orderly manner.
▪️Russian troops have withdrawn over two thousand pieces of equipment, but some of the broken armoured vehicles had to be left behind due to lack of sufficient time to repair or mine them.
▪️Ukrainian units are gradually occupying settlements along the line of contact. By the evening, Ukrainian forces had reached #Kiselyovka, 30 minutes' drive from #Kherson. The pace of the enemy's advance has been slowed due to landmines set up before the retreat.
▪️ There were communication, power and water supply problems in #Kherson in the morning.
▪️After 22:30, Ukrainian units shelled the Antonovsky bridge in #Kherson, and some time later hit the #Kakhovka hydroelectric plant. Some of the shells were intercepted by Russian air defence assets.

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/220)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Starobelsk Direction until 11:00 on 11 Nov 2022⚡️
🩸 At the moment there is no change in the situation in the #Starobelsk direction. The AFU is attempting unsuccessfully to storm the Russian lines with small forces.
▪️ In the #Kupyansk sector, the command of the 14th Mechanized Brigade has established forward observation posts west of #Kislovka. UAV operators of the 14th Brigade are uncovering Russian artillery firing positions.
▪️ In the #Svatovo sector, assault commandos of the AFU's 92nd Mechanized Brigade once again attacked Russian strongholds in #Kuzmovka. The AFU formations were pushed back by artillery fire. Personnel were exchanged at the #Peschanoye - #Stelmakhovka line.
▪️ In the #Lyman sector, separate Ukrainian units of the 25th Airborne Brigade tried three times during the day to entrench themselves in the area west of #Chervonopopovka.
Russian troops repulsed the offensive. Despite significant losses, the command of the Ukrainian unit forbade them to leave their positions until their task was completed.
🩸 The situation in the #Starobelsk direction remains stable for the time beeing. However, the withdrawal of Russian troops from #Kherson opens up the possibility of shifting freed-uo resources not only for the Russian Armed Forces but also for the AFU to other areas.
Since in the current situation it is unprofitable for the Ukrainian forces to cross the #Dnipro River, it is likely that some of the AFU formations will be moved to other directions.
Considering the fact that the #Donetsk and #Soledar directions are held by the AFU with relatively small forces due to the strong fortifications, the AFU "Nikolaev" Brigades are to be expected exactly in the #Starobelsk direction.

⚡️ (https://t.me/sitrepmaps/222)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Nikolaev - #Kherson Direction until 13:00 on 11 Nov 2022⚡️
🩸 The Russian Defence Ministry has officially announced the completion of the withdrawal of the Russian Armed Forces' grouping from the right bank of the #Dnipro River. The last equipment and personnel completed the transfer at 5:00 (am). According to military correspondent Aleksandr Sladkov, over 20,000 personnel and 3,500 pieces of equipment have been withdrawn.
▪️ The Russian Defence Ministry claims that not a single piece of military equipment and armament was left on the right bank of the #Dnipro. Apparently, this was the way the reports from the field were filed, because there is enough footage of trophy equipment. Another matter is that this equipment might have been malfunctioning for a long time, and its evacuation did not seem expedient.
▪️ Thanks to competent actions of air defence systems and engineer-sapper units, it was possible to slow down the advance of enemy troops and protect one´s own units during the march and the crossing.
The troops assisted to the last man in the evacuation of civilians. Five massive HIMARS missile attacks were carried out on the crossings, Russian air defence shot down 28 shells and another five were deflected from their targets by electronic warfare.
▪️ Two tanks, two self-propelled artillery pieces, three armoured fighting vehicles and over twenty Ukrainian soldiers were hit by mines. Lancet loitering ammunition and MLRS fire destroyed three towed M777 155mm howitzers, two infantry fighting vehicles and three enemy pickup trucks.
▪️ Russian artillery and air strikes, as well as the use of mine blast obstacles stopped Ukrainian units within a 30-40 km radius of the #Dnipro crossing area. We have mapped this radius and noted which settlements are already under the control of Ukrainian forces.
▪️ Throughout the withdrawal operation, a wide network of informers of the AFU and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), in a hurry to get 'indulgence', transmitted data on the routes of transfer and the location of Russian military personnel.
▪️ As part of the formations advancing on #Kherson, there are units of the 28th, 60th, 61st and 63rd AFU Mechanized Brigades, Polish mercenaries and fighters from the Sheikh Mansur Battalion.

"Avdeevka's southern claw" takes shape - military expert Boris Rozhin comments on the liberation of Opytne
News came in the evening that Russian units had occupied the strategically important village of Opytne to the west of Donetsk. This will not only reduce the shelling of the republic's capital, but also gives an indication of the next step towards encircling Avdeevka. Military expert Boris Rozhin commented specially for Readovka on this development and told how the Avdeevka stronghold is doing and what episode in this confrontation will be played out next.
"To the south of Avdeevka, after the capture of Opytne and reaching Vodyane, the battles for Vodyane, plus Pervomayskoye, will now be of key importance. After capturing Vodyanoye, it is possible to advance towards Tonenka and continue to encircle Avdeevka from the south, gradually approaching the key supply route of the Orlovka-Avdeevka garrison. The enemy here naturally has prepared defensive lines, both in Vodyane and Tonenka. Surely he will use his reserves to prevent our troops from reaching these positions, which would allow him to establish control over the Orlovka-Avdeevka road. Therefore, quite intense fighting is expected here, first of all for Vodyanoye," Rozhin noted.
As for the coverage of Avdeevka from the north, the so-called "Avdeevka northern claw", the expert noted that there is no significant progress here. The front line has been near the Kostyantynivka-Avdeevka route since about summer, the enemy cannot fully use it because of the fortified positions of our troops near Novobakhmutivka, Novoselovka II and Kamianka. There is no change in Avdiivka itself, with the front line running on the outskirts of the industrial zone.

⚡️ (https://t.me/Slavyangrad/19748)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Highlights of Russia's #SMO in #Ukraine at 21:53 on 11 Nov⚡️
(specifically for @voenkorKotenok Channel)
1. #Kherson:
The Russian Armed Forces left the right bank early this morning and withdrew completely to the left bank to previously prepared positions. The last units withdrew from #Kherson over the barge bridge, which was undermined.
Antonovsky bridge and the bridge near #Kakhovka hydroelectric power station were undermined. The enemy occupied #Berislav and #Kherson during the day. The front now runs along the #Dnipro River.
Enemy activity can be expected in the direction of the Kinburn Spit and Ukrainian forces may continue the massacres of civilians in the occupied territories.
2. #Donetsk Direction:
Our troops today took #Opytnoye and slightly advanced in #Pervomayskoye.
Fighting continues for #Vodyanoye. In general, the offensive plan is quite transparent: take #Pervomayskoye and #Vodyanoye and turn to #Tonenkoye, the capture of which will make it possible to establish fire control over the #Orlovka - #Avdeevka road, which will create a direct threat of operational encirclement of the #Avdeevka grouping of the AFU. The enemy is likely to move its reserves here to stabilize the front.
#Mayorsk has been liberated near #Gorlovka
3. #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction:
Fighting on the outskirts of the city and for entrenchments on the outskirts of #Opytnoye. Fighting for entrenchment sites near #Kurdyumovka also continues. The pace of advancement is slow.
4. #Soledar:
No significant changes in the city itself.
Our forces consolidate in #Bakhmutskoye and continue fighting for #Belogorovka, currently Russian forces control about 50% of the village.
No change in the #Spornoye and other #Belogorovka areas.
5. #Svatovo:
The enemy's attacks in the direction of the #Svatovo - #Kremennaya route did not bring him much success. The front is still in place here, although the enemy continues to try to maintain the initiative by continuous attacks, not taking into account the losses.
Fighting in the area of #Torskoye and #Terny brought little change.

🔥Attacks on Ukraine's railroad and critical infrastructure prevent Russian oligarchs from delivering, Sivkov said.
The Ukrainian railway infrastructure has not yet been destroyed, because Russian, Ukrainian and Western oligarchs are interested in this, continuing to earn money together on business schemes that have not changed since the start of the NWO.
Konstantin Sivkov, Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Troops, stated this on ORT.
According to Sivkov, Russian titanium is delivered to the West via Ukrainian railways, on which a number of industries, including the military, critically depend.
“Under the existing sanctions that everyone must comply with, there is only one “gray” communication that connects Russia and Europe. These are Ukrainian railways.
Russia produces 87% of the world's titanium. All this titanium used to go to the needs of the Soviet Union - submarines according to the American classification "Alpha", according to ours - "Lira" of the 705th project - these were boats made entirely of titanium hulls. 3.5 thousand tons of titanium. The Americans were shocked, because titanium is considered to be at the level of gold in terms of value.
After the destruction of our country by the thieves' nomenclature of the Soviet Union, titanium became “not needed” here, since there was an interest of the West, primarily the United States, to get this titanium. The whole titan went to the West.
They began to make aircraft wings from titanium, the Excalibur shells for the M777 cannon, which is used against us today, are made from our titanium. If titanium stops deliveries now, then all this will stop. This is worse than gas, because the construction of the latest combat aircraft depends on titanium, among other things.
Therefore, our oligarchy, the Ukrainian oligarchy and the West are objectively interested in ensuring that this railway communication runs smoothly,” Sivkov said.
The main (90%) volume of Western military and material assistance to the Kyiv regime, which lost over 70% of the weapons available on February 24, comes by rail from western Ukraine (Lviv), bordering Poland and Slovakia.
Vulnerabilities - three bridge crossings within the range of tactical missiles and airborne forces, which can be destroyed by three pinpoint strikes at known coordinates. In this case, communications that support the viability and military stability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the regime as a whole will be destroyed with the prospect of restoration at least a month or two.
Alternative trucking by road does not compensate for the logistical disaster. However, this does not happen, just as many enterprises of the basic economic and defense structure controlled by Kyiv avoid missile and bomb raids.
Export goods and products manufactured at the enterprises of Ukrainian oligarchs and their Russian partners are also exported along the mentioned railway routes in the opposite direction, to the west. After all, after the blockade of air communications, maritime transport and international motor transport, the railway, which was removed from the limits of Western sanctions, remained the only logistical export-import communicator.
Rear Admiral John Kirby, a spokesman for the Pentagon, said that, contrary to the logic of hostilities, US intelligence did not record a single attempt by the Russian Armed Forces and the LDNR by any means to block the flow of American and European weapons coming to the disposal of the front-line units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from late February to mid-April.
Probably, this explains the "indistinct" position of the majority of the Russian oligarchy and many of the most influential figures in the Russian Forbes list in relation to the US and EU hybrid aggression against Russia, including its most sensitive component - the fighting in Ukraine, and this also explains the strange course of the special operation.
The country must know its "heroes"...
Jihadi Julian as an expert...
The outcome of the war will be decided in Zaporizhzhya Region, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to advance across the Dnieper in Kherson Region.
This opinion was expressed by Bild military expert Julian Röpke.
In Röpke's opinion, by withdrawing troops from Kherson and blowing up bridges across the Dnieper river, the Russian army has practically put an end to the war in southern Ukraine. From now on, the Russian military can consolidate on the eastern bank of the Dnieper, and the river itself, which is about a kilometer wide and serves as a natural barrier, will serve as a reliable protection for them.
For the Armed Forces, however, their advance on the front will probably end in Kherson: since most of the Kherson region is located on the other bank of the Dnepr, the Ukrainian army will hardly be able to attack the enemy across the river, Röpke explains.
"The US has recently promised Ukraine 40 armored boats, but they will not be enough to carry out large-scale maneuvers on the Russian-held eastern bank of the Dnieper River.
As a result, the Ukrainian command will have to move an entire army - tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of armored vehicles - more than 200 kilometers to cross the country's largest river. This operation would stretch over weeks, which the Kremlin could use to prepare for another offensive.
That means military action will shift to southeast Ukraine - the place where the Russian army has lost the least ground and where it has been preparing for a Ukrainian attack for months: namely, the Zaporizhzhia region.
Should Russia be able to retain control of this region, it will retain its land corridor between occupied Crimea and the mainland.
However, if Ukraine manages to break the defense line near Zaporizhzhya and advance to the Sea of Azov, this will be the beginning of the end for the Russian army in the entire territory of southern Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula," Julian said.

Map of military operations and the situation on the fronts on the evening of 11 November
👍 Amid the abandonment of the right bank of the Dnieper River and the associated drama - unknown heroes managed to take several hundred more people to the left bank - the good news came in the evening. Near Donetsk, Opytne, from which the republic's capital had been shelled since 2014, was liberated, and Maiorsk was taken near Horlivka.
⚔️The situation on the fronts in the outgoing 24 hours:
⚫️ Svatovo-Kreminna direction
The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted an offensive on Svatovo. Ukrainian militants moved into Yagodnoye, Kislovka, and Vladimirovka. Russian forces halted the enemy, pushing them back to their initial positions.
A similar situation occurred near Ploshchanka and Chervonopopovka. Ukraine went on the offensive - it failed.
⚫️Donetsk direction
The Russian army, with the forces of the Sparta battalion and the 1st Slavic Brigade of the DNR, took Opytne - thus taking another step towards encircling Avdeevka. Our fighters are also advancing in Pervomayskoye and fighting for Vodyanoye continues. Meanwhile, near Horlivka, the forces of the 1st Donetsk Corps have liberated Maiorsk - the road to Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) is being broken through.
⚫️Ugledar direction
Once again Ukrainian militants are trying to halt the offensive near Ugledar. Their forces launched a counterattack near Sladkoye and, having achieved nothing, were pushed back to their initial positions.
⚫️Kherson direction
The withdrawal of Russian forces from the right bank of the Dnieper is completed. During the maneuver over 20,000 personnel and 4,500 pieces of equipment have been withdrawn. Thanks to the competent work of the engineering forces, Russia has left a "gift" for the AFU in the form of minefields, on which several pieces of heavy equipment have been blown up today.
💡The West is preparing for a big war. The next meeting of the countries supplying arms to Ukraine is about to take place. But the preconditions of the future conflict are surfacing even before the new "Ramstein". And they are voiced in the very "peace-loving" West. What exactly are they talking about? Readovka explains.
