Svatove sector: advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Makeevka and battles near Nevsky situation as of 16.00 October 10, 2023
🔻 Russian troops launched a counterattack not only in the Orekhovsky and Donetsk directions: for several days now there has been an assault on enemy strongholds in the Makeevka direction.
▪️ As a result of fierce fighting, Russian units managed to advance on a broad front from Novovodyany and Ploshchanka, almost reaching the eastern outskirts of Makeyevka.
▪️ Also, fighters of the Russian Army approached Nevsky, where reinforcements of the 88th battalion of the 106th AFU' Terrestrial Defense Brigade were transferred to strengthen the defense.
🔻 The attack is difficult due to a large number of minefields at the Makeevka- Nevske line. In addition, the Ukrainian command continues to transfer reserves for defense in the area.
▪️ The day before, 200 people from the 44th mechanized brigade of the AFU arrived in Peski-Radkovskie. They were trained and coordinated in Nizhyn. Also, formations of the 44th Mechanized Brigade were also noted in Borovaya, so the enemy still has reserves.

The people's kamikaze drone “Ghoul” confidently holds first place in destroying Ukrainian high-speed boats on the Dnieper. For some time, the enemy stopped moving along the great Russian river altogether, during daylight hours.
Today, having received good kicking from our Arta on the islands, the enemy requested evacuation, the boats had to go out into the water area, where the “Ghouls” were already waiting for them, as a result, the rafting of the Ukrainian on the river once again ended in feeding crayfish.
Let me remind you, friends, the “Ghoul” drone is a completely people’s project. Anyone who wants to help with the purchase of components can do so on the card of Radio Russia presenter Dmitry Konanykhin 2202206288336105
The enemy will be defeated, humiliated and destroyed, and Victory will be ours!
Battle for Avdeevka: taking strategic heights near Krasnohorivka situation at the end of October 10, 2023
Russian troops continue the operation to storm the Avdeevsky fortified area.
▪️ Fighting is still going on near the outskirts of the village of Berdychi. Soldiers of the Russian army have gained a foothold on the northeastern approaches after crossing the railway track and are awaiting a counterattack by the AFU.
▪️ The assault groups managed to break through the defenses of the AFU at a waste heap located southwest of Krasnohorivka. This is a commanding height from where Russian troops will be able to control the approaches to the Avdeevka fortified area from the north and west, facilitating the encirclement of Avdeevka. At the moment, the clearing of the waste heap continues.
▪️ In the southern sector, the Russian Armed Forces are conducting assault operations towards Severny and Tonenkoye. It has not yet been possible to reach the outskirts of populated areas, but several enemy strongholds have come under the control of Russian fighters.
▪️ Fierce fighting is taking place in the southeast of the Avdeevsky fortified area. Due to dense mining and serious resistance from Ukrainian formations, it is not yet possible to reach the outskirts of the settlement.
🔻 In general, the task of fire blocking and encircling the Avdeevsky fortified area is being accomplished. In less than 24 hours, Russian troops managed to make a significant breakthrough, which, amid of advances in previous months, looks very surprising and indicative.
At this stage, it is difficult to make any forecasts, but if everything continues at the same pace, we can probably witness a full-fledged operation to take the Avdeevsky fortified area under the control of Russian troops.
This, in turn, will reduce the intensity of shelling of cities in the Donetsk agglomeration by Ukrainian forces.
Battle for Avdeevka: The Russian Army destroys enemy firing points before the offensive operation Scouts identified a number of enemy positions with Ukrainian Armed Forces militants and destroyed them with precise guided missile strikes. Enemy resources report that our fighters managed to advance during today's attacks.
“Sunburners” burn the enemy, clearing the way for assault groups at the front Heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A "Solntsepek" destroy the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during battles in the zone of a special military operation. After treating them with thermobaric shells, assault units move forward, storming or clearing enemy trenches.

“Here you were our enemies, but we honestly expect the opposite... That we would all be together, but against someone else... Just like that - the historical parallel has turned upside down... I hope you forgive us - we forgive you...”
What are the AFU planning in the southern direction?
Over the past month, a characteristic change in the actions of the AFU can be noted: on most of the front, Ukrainian formations went on the defensive due to large losses in manpower and equipment, as well as the start of counterattacks by the Russian Armed Forces.
However, this does not mean that the AFU do not have the strength for one more attempt. Against the backdrop of the world community's attention being diverted to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and interest in Ukraine falling, attention needs to be attracted by hook or by crook. And now the only option for this is the south.
🔻 What is the enemy’s plan?
▪️ The new 30th Marine Corps was transferred (https://t.me/rybar/52751) to the Kherson direction. Where exactly most of the units of the four brigades are located is unknown. But reconnaissance groups are already occupying lines along the Dnieper.
▪️ In addition to the 30th Corps, territorial defense units are involved in the direction, trying to create a bridgehead on the left bank. The group numbers up to 12 thousand people, excluding MTR units.
❗️ The AFU are considering six directions for attack by several assault groups. The main blow will be delivered at the line Krynki - Nova Kakhovka and the Iron Port. The rest are needed to distract attention and pin down the Russian Armed Forces (including the Zaporozhye sector of the front ).
▪️ They can cross the river near Bolshaya Lepetikha (the 70th pontoon regiment is already stationed in that direction) and Energodar. The basis of the strike groups are units of the 37th Infantry Brigade and the Special Operations Command "West".
🔻 The enemy’s plans are transparent and understandable, but even despite this, preparations are in full swing. For the third time now, the AFU have been carrying out mass strikes on the rear areas of the Kherson region using all possible means, from cartridges to aviation.
The number of strikes in some sectors of the front increased five to six times. The ultimate goal of the mad dash in the south is to gain a foothold in any of the areas, create a bridgehead, gain a foothold and wait for reinforcements to arrive. And only then develop an attack on Crimea.
The Fall | Avdiivka Operational Encirclement. Insane Pressure. Military Summary For 2023.10.11
Meanwhile, Bandera regime sympathisers, sycophants and propagandists continue to spread disinformation, insisting that Russia is running out of men, munitions and materiel and Ukraine is winning...
In addition, the leader of the corrupt nefarious Bandera regime, puppet 🤡 diktat Zelensky is now claiming that weapons sent to Ukraine by Western powers are sold to Hamas by President Putin.. 🤣
“You can't start planning for long-term support if you're at the end of your rope. And in financing Ukraine we are coming to the end of the rope. Today we announced $200 million and we will continue to help Ukraine as much as we can, but it will not be indefinitely,” White House spokesman John Kirby said.
As we say, no matter how much the rope twists, it will still end.
Battle for Avdeevka: situation at the end of October 11, 2023
Near the Avdeevsky fortified area, Russian units continue their assault on strongholds. After the initial success of the Russian Armed Forces, the enemy regrouped and is now trying to contain the offensive.
🔻 On the northern flank, fighters of the 11th Regiment of the Russian Armed Forces, as a result of fierce battles, were able to completely occupy the most important strong point (the so-called “ terricon” ) at the dominant height. Its release will make it possible to control the approaches to the northern outskirts of Avdeevka.
▪️ Fighting is also taking place near the northeastern outskirts of Berdychi. Russian motorized rifle units are trying to break through the defenses of the AFU. The enemy transferred anti-tank reserves to this area to strengthen the position.
▪️ At the same time, to the east, servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces managed to enter the village of Petrovskoye (Stepovoe). According to preliminary data, fighting is taking place in the populated area itself, and there is no control over it yet.
❗️ Now the Ukrainian command is trying to stabilize the front. Reinforcements from the 31st mechanized brigade of the AFU have been deployed to the vicinity of Ocheretino, Novokalynove and Berdychi. The cannonade does not subside, the AFU are hitting the front line with all means.
🔻 Russian troops are also attacking the AFU positions on the southern outskirts of Avdeevka. As a result of the assault from the Donetsk ring road, the Russian Armed Forces were able to occupy a section of the railway south of the Tsarskaya Okhota restaurant, which was turned into a stronghold of the AFU.
The attack of the Russian Army near Avdeevka continues. The command of the AFU is transferring reserves to carry out a counterattack, so now Russian fighters should prepare for this by consolidating themselves on occupied lines. This will save the lives of personnel while aviation and artillery destroy the fortified area in Avdievka, facilitating its cordon.
Kupiansk sector: offensive of the Russian Armed Forces near Kupiansk situation as of 14.00 October 11, 2023
🔻 Units of the 6th Army and 1st Tank Army of the “West” group of the Russian Armed Forces also went on the offensive against the positions of Ukrainian formations on the Synkivka -Ivanovka- Kyslivka line.
▪️ At Synkivka, Russian troops, attacking along the railway from the Liman 1st side, occupied three strongholds in heavy fighting on the outskirts of the village. The Russian Armed Forces penetrated 1 km deep.
▪️ Similarly, military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces are conducting an active assault on the landings in which the enemy has taken refuge in the direction of Ivanovka and Kislovka. The advance was about 1.5 km.
🔻 The assault on Ukrainian positions is going very hard due to the dense mining of the area, as well as the conveyor belt sending of “cannon fodder” to the front lines. The basis of the defense is the 14th Mechanized Brigade, reinforced by Territorial Defense.
Due to significant losses, reinforcements continue to be transferred to Kupyansk. Recently, the dispatch of two battalions of an unidentified formation began from Zhitomir.

Update: The leader of the corrupt nefarious Bandera regime, puppet 🤡 diktat Zelensky, wants frozen Russian money and assets in other countries. 🤣
The same guy came up and asked for money. He said that he had lost his passport, ticket, country and Western funding. I asked to help in any way we could.
We said: sorry, we are going to the south, we spent everything on a trip to the Red Sea.
He left crying.
Now he is begging NATO for frozen Russian assets:
“You have Russian assets. They destroyed us, so we can take this money. Let’s find the key to this Russian money and spend it on the restoration of Ukraine.”
Naive guy, thinks that if there was a key, they wouldn’t have pocketed the money long ago? Can not.
Ze finally changed his threadbare green suit for a black robe. Hints at mourning? But outwardly the lad looks worse and worse. And even the experience of a showman does not allow him to hide this.
Things are very bad for Ukraine: money, weapons and ammunition are melting before our eyes. But there is no help in sight. Moreover, the Russian army went on the offensive, taking more in a couple of days than the khokhols did all summer. This situation reduces the desire to send military aid to Kyiv.
