Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-10-15
In Ukraine, they gave the go-ahead for the mobilization of students who have registered for an academic degree
According to local media, the Ministry of Education and Science sent a letter of clarification to all heads of universities. It states that such students are not covered by Art. 23 of the law on mobilization since during the period of academic leave they do not study.
To replenish the dwindling ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military commissars continue to catch men simply on the streets.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Morning summary October 14, 2023
▪️The Russian Armed Forces continue to break through the defenses of the Avdeevsky fortified area. The artillery fire of guns does not subside, aviation is constantly working. From the north-west, with heavy fighting, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing from the direction of Kamenka, from the south-west there is an attack from the direction of Vodyanoy, from the south-east - from the direction of Opytny. Troops are fighting for Berdychi - it is reported that Russian forces were consolidating on the outskirts of the village. There is a clear plan to tighten the ring in all directions around the Avdeevsky fortified area. Predictably, difficulties are created by the powerful concrete fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The enemy is transferring reserves.
▪️In the Kherson direction, both sides conducted artillery shelling. From our shores the message is that the actions of the 8th Guards Artillery Regiment and military pilots are outstanding. Targets were hit within 24 hours in Berislav, Kherson, as well as in enemy rear areas. However, the enemy continues preparations for crossing the Dnieper.
▪️On the Zaporozhye front, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted offensive actions, but were not successful. An interesting element is the daring use of helicopters by the Ukrainian Armed Forces at ultra-low altitudes in the Rabotino-Novoprokopovka-Verbovoye area. A possible solution could be to assign our MANPADS crews to frontline units.
▪️In the Kupyansky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are conducting an offensive near the First Liman. The advance was up to 1 kilometer, 10 enemy strongholds were occupied. Heavy flamethrower systems are actively used.
▪️Yesterday in the Black Sea, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used an underwater drone to attack the patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin. In the Belgorod region, the enemy shelled the outskirts of Demidovka and Grafovka - Krasnoyaruzhsky district. In the Kursk region - Kozino, Rylsky district and Popovo-Lezhachi, Glushkovsky district. In the DPR, four civilians were wounded by enemy shelling.

Fantastic absurdity (https://t.me/poneslo_p_g/217?single): ammunition expenditures by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (during a shell famine) began to exceed the expenditures of the Russian Armed Forces
The enemy information publication Obozrevatel.UA, (http://Obozrevatel.UA/) concerning OSINT data, published a graph showing the ammunition consumption of the Ukrainian and Russian armies. Judging by the picture presented, the consumption of ammunition by the Russian Armed Forces is systematically decreasing, while for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the contrary, after 1.5 years it allegedly began to increase. All this is presented as a small victory of the Ukrainian army over the Russians, which, according to Obozrevatel.UA (http://Obozrevatel.UA/) journalists, is experiencing a shell hunger.
Is there this victory? Has the dynamics of ammunition consumption by the Ukrainian Armed Forces become so positive?
According to CNN ( publication (https://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/10/04/exp-view-from-ukraine-100402pseg3-cnni-world.cnn) dated 04.10), “the Ukrainian side is running out of Soviet-style unguided shells, and the problem of shortage of ammunition is observed along the entire front line in the east of the country.” In addition, soldiers of the 80th separate air assault brigade complain about an acute shortage of 105-mm shells for Western howitzers. This, by the way, is confirmed by The Telegraph: “ Ukrainian soldiers, trained by NATO instructors to shoot from L119 howitzers, are forced to fire from them less than once a day due to a “catastrophic” shortage of shells.”
As Armed Forces Battalion Commander Miron noted in an interview with CNN: “...for each of our shots, the Russians fire a dozen, and sometimes a hundred.” What data could be even more reliable, perhaps, than the comments of an officer on the battlefield?
By the way, according to NATO intelligence estimates, which periodically release information on the Internet about the state of the Russian military-industrial complex, Russia has increased the production of shells to two million per year. And this, it is worth noting, is twice as much as at the start of the SMO. The United States, which provides military assistance to Ukraine, for example, wants to increase the production of shells to only 57 thousand per year. What kind of increase in the consumption of shells on the part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a decrease in the consumption of shells on the part of the RF Armed Forces can we talk about further?

New evidence of preparations for an IDF ground operation in the Gaza Strip is appearing online. Footage of a large concentration of tanks near Kibbutz Mavkiyim was published by the Al-Jarmak agency.
Coordinates: 31.584891, 34.571782
The footage shows several dozen Merkava Mk.4 tanks and other armored vehicles. It is noteworthy that the site is within the range of Hamas missiles, and if the footage was taken today, the IDF could learn a lesson about why it is not worth placing equipment and personnel so closely near enemy positions.

The main news for the evening about the conflict between Israel and Palestine:
— the number of Russians killed in Israel as a result of a Hamas attack has increased to 16. Eight more Russian citizens are considered missing. Also, one Russian with Israeli citizenship is on the list of hostages in the Gaza Strip, the Russian Embassy reports;
— The al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas) claim that nine hostages, including four foreigners, have died due to Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours;
- about 30 mortar shells were fired into Israeli territory from Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Forces fired back;
— the Jordanian field hospital in the Gaza Strip has completely stopped working due to Israeli shelling, Al-Mamlaka reports;
- An IDF spokesman told CNN that the start of a ground operation in the Gaza Strip will depend on how many civilians remain in the area;
— Al-Qahera News: Egyptian authorities did not allow foreign citizens living in the Gaza Strip to pass through the Rafah checkpoint;
— the military wing of Islamic Jihad said it attacked the Israeli cities of Ashkelon and Sderot with missiles;
The video presumably shows the consequences of a daytime shelling of the Gaza Strip, which, as local media write, killed 27 people and injured more than 100.

The Russian army counterattacked in the Orekhov-Rabotino area and captured many points. Ukrainian soldiers were surrounded at different points. The Russian army repeatedly called for surrender, but after refusal, they were destroyed.
From Kharkov to Zaporozhye, the Ukrainian offensive ended, and the initiative along the entire front passed to the Russian army.

“And everything about civilians who were not involved and did not know is not true, it is absolutely not true. They could rise up and fight against the evil Hamas regime, which took power in Gaza through a coup d'état.
“But we are at war. We are at war. We protect our homes. This is true, and when a nation defends itself, it fights. We will fight until we break their back."

“The US State Department has authorized American government employees and their families in Israel to leave the country amid an “unprecedented security situation.” The guarantor of security in the region himself brought it to the point of no return,” she said.
Allowing US officials in Israel to leave the region is essentially an escape.
“And again, no one in Washington will answer for their atrocities, provocations and staging?”

The battle in the Kremensky forest through the eyes of a grenade launcher
The movement was detected by the enemy. It turned out that a group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was making its way to the positions of the “🅾️” group. Our soldiers decided to give the enemy a little surprise, came out of the trenches, and, on command, fired several fragmentation rounds from RPGs at the enemy (the last ones were ordinary anti-tank ones, for consolidation, so to speak). After that, we quickly jumped back into the trench.
A shooting battle ensued. In it, the enemy behaved without initiative; he only had enough strength to fire back weakly. The militants abandoned their intentions to attack and thought only about how to retreat to the rear.

Global support for Ukraine has “reached breaking point,” The New York Times
Kiev fears that the conflict in the Middle East, as well as concerns about the upcoming US presidential elections, could weaken support from the West, TNYT reports. The authors of the material concluded that support for Ukraine “has reached its limit.”
The reason was the open doubt of the American authorities about the success of Ukraine. In addition, there are “gloomy moods” in Europe that are unpleasant for Kiev: an anti-Ukrainian party has already come to power in Slovakia, and in Poland candidates who have promised to limit aid to Ukraine are popular.

Reluctance to help Kiev is paralyzing the US Congress and preventing it from choosing a speaker
Many members of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives are skeptical, if not outright hostile, to the idea of increasing military and financial assistance to Kiev. As The Guardian notes, this significantly complicates the already difficult task of electing a new speaker of the lower house of the US Congress.
Republicans have made the issue of financing Ukraine one of their top priorities when searching for a new speaker. In this regard, the possibility of Congress approving the next aid package for Kiev is under threat.

News from Avdeevka from Alexander Sladkov (https://t.me/Sladkov_plus) :
The cannonade subsided near Avdeevka. What could it be?
As a matter of principle, according to Avdeevka, I feed only on official information, albeit slightly adjusted by the commanders’ remarks. So, my thoughts: it didn’t go easy, and thank God, we didn’t resolve the issue the Ukrainian way (to hit the impenetrable). Although, apparently, we have the intermediate result we need - we are decreasing the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in this fortress city, and the supply road is under our fire control.
To surround Avdeevka, it is necessary to take many old strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The positions of the Ukrainian army have been poured with concrete since 2015, when, by the way, no one fired hard at them - build fortifications and formations. Now it is bearing fruit - you can’t really break it with artillery. Plus minefields. And in general, our Ministry of Defense did not promise anything. But the fact is the fact - the shooting is over.

This is despite them being born and grown under a regime where people are persecuted for speaking Russian.
20% of Kiev preschoolers hardly understand or speak Ukrainian at all. 65% use Russian and Ukrainian words or predominantly use Russian and at the same time borrow some Ukrainian words.
With teenagers Russian could be even more widespread. He believes 10% of the memes used by Kiev teenagers are in Ukrainian, 90% are in Russian or English."
We are speaking of Kiev, one of the bastions of nationalist ideology, and children, who lived their entire lives under the Ukrainization program.

About 100,000 drones will be produced in Russia in September 2023, the TASS news agency reported citing a statement by Dmitry Peskov, the Russian president's special representative for digital and technological development, during the Advanced Digital and Production Technologies international forum.
"Our country has produced under 100,000 drones in September this year. We are moving very fast. Many manufacturers who are now making thousands of large interesting apparatuses, the scaling tasks will then be expanded," Peskov said.
Note: Well, yes, they messed with a nation that was Сommunist and was an Orthodox empire. Russians know how to work without sparing their bellies.

Avdeevka Direction - October 15th, 15:50 Moscow time
Russian Air Force attacks on the enemy's rear positions have escalated. In particular, UFABs and air-to-ground missiles are being deployed.
Aerial reconnaissance and artillery are active on both sides. There are also reports from the ground indicating an increase in our infantry attacks.

Situation in the Avdeevka direction from NgP raZVedka (https://t.me/negumanitarnaya_pomosch_Z)
In the north-east, the enemy launched several counterattacks to regain control of previously lost positions. He had no success, and rolled back to the initial positions with losses.
At the moment, our forces are entrenched in the least vulnerable to enemy firepower positions and are preparing for further action. Ahead is another ridge of defences and firing points rolled in concrete, which must be dismantled.
From the very morning, artillery and rocket artillery have been working on Avdeevka, and the enemy is actively using electronic warfare systems in order to prevent fire correction and additional reconnaissance of targets from UAVs.
The Russian Air Forces continue to launch missile and bomb strikes against enemy targets on the territory of the Koksokhim plant.
A considerable amount of time is also taken up by the elimination of mine and explosive barriers, which are left by the enemy in large numbers.
The pressure on the flanks of Avdeevka is not weakening, nothing is over, everything is just beginning, let's wish our men good luck!
Iran Threatens Israel; U.S. Acknowledges the Potential for Tehran's Involvement in the Palestine Conflict - White House.
Iran has issued a threat to Israel regarding possible intervention in the event of a ground operation, as reported by Axios. The message was conveyed by Iranian Foreign Minister Hosein Amir-Abdollahian to UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Thor Vennesland, during a meeting in Beirut.
The UN representative requested Iranian assistance in preventing the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. Abdollahian responded that Tehran does not desire the conflict to develop into a regional war but warned that if Israel proceeds with its promise of a ground offensive in Gaza, "Iran will have to respond."
Earlier, media reports indicated that Iran threatened intervention in the conflict should a ground operation be launched in the Gaza Strip.

At Rabotino and Verbovoye, paratroopers and infantry are continuing their counterattacks, destroying and capturing Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters.
On the Zaporozhye front, our units have once again executed daring counterattacks along the Kopani-Rabotino-Novoprokopovka-Verbovoye line, seizing the initiative.
As we reported yesterday, several AFU units became encircled. Those who refused to surrender were destroyed, while the wiser ones surrendered.
Today, the counterattacks have continued, resulting in the capture of a new batch of prisoners. Most of today's prisoners are conscripts.
The fighting is ongoing, with both our forces and the enemy actively using artillery. We will provide more details in the next bulletin.

Iran warns Tel Aviv about expanding conflict
Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that if Israel does not stop attacks on the Gaza Strip, “tomorrow will be too late.”
“ If Israeli attacks on defenseless citizens and residents of Gaza continue, no one will be able to guarantee control of the situation and the non-expansion of the conflict,” he said at a meeting with the emir of Qatar.
Israel had planned to launch a ground operation in the Gaza Strip this weekend but postponed it due to weather. The operation is about to begin and could become the largest since the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese conflict. The conflict could plunge the country into “bloody urban fighting” for months in a small area of more than 2 million people.
