Glory to Ukraine!
The eight hundred and ninety-seventh day of large-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has begun.
During the past day, a total of 96 combat clashes were recorded. The enemy continues to be most active in the Pokrovsky direction, where almost a third of his offensive actions took place.
According to detailed information, yesterday the enemy launched three missile strikes against the positions of Ukrainian units and populated areas using five missiles, as well as 69 airstrikes, dropping 110 anti-aircraft missiles. In addition, he carried out more than 5,200 attacks, of which 114 were from rocket salvo systems.
The aggressor carried out airstrikes, in particular, in the areas of the settlements of Pavlivka, Bilovody, Kiyanitsa, Zhuravka, Yunakivka, Manukhivka, Mogrytsia, Ugroydy, Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, New York, Kurdyumivka, Vozdvizhenka, Oleksandropil, Grodivka, Novogrodivka, Kostyantynivka, Urozhane, Novodonetske , Pyatikhatky, Novoandriivka and Lobkove.
Yesterday, the aviation and missile forces and artillery of the Defense Forces carried out 11 strikes on the areas of concentration of personnel and anti-aircraft defenses of the enemy, and also hit two anti-aircraft vehicles, seven RViA vehicles and two warehouses with ammunition of the occupiers.
In the Kharkiv direction, the number of attacks per day increased to three. The defense forces repelled enemy assaults near Vovchansk and Tykhi.
In the Kupyansk direction, there were five attempts by the Russians to advance near Petropavlivka, Kolisnikivka and towards Novoosynovo.
In the Lyman direction, the enemy attacked 12 times near Novosergiivka, Makiivka, Nevsky, Torsky, and in the Serebrian Forest.
In the Siverskyi direction, Ukrainian defenders repelled six assaults by the Russian invaders near Spirny, Verkhnyokamyansky and Pereizny.
In the Kramatorsk direction, the occupiers attacked seven times - all their efforts were concentrated near Chasovoy Yar. Two airstrikes were carried out there by the National Army.
In the Toretsk direction, the enemy launched 11 attacks in the North, New York, Zalizny and Toretsk districts. The Russian aggressor carried out 19 airstrikes on Toretsk and its adjacent territories, dropping more than three dozen guided bombs.
In the Pokrovsky direction, our defenders repelled 28 assaults in the areas of ten different settlements. Vozdvizhenka, Zhelanne, Karlivka and Grodivka are the main areas where the occupiers are concentrating their efforts. With the support of aviation, the Russians tried to dislodge our units from their positions.

In the Vremivsk direction, Russian troops made two attempts to advance from the direction of Volodymyrivka.

In the Dnieper direction, all four attacks by the invaders were unsuccessful.
No signs of the formation of enemy offensive groups were detected in the Volyn and Poliske directions .
On the border with the Chernihiv and Sumy regions, the enemy is shelling populated areas from the territory of the Russian Federation, carrying out airstrikes.
Our soldiers will continue to exhaust the combat potential of the enemy on the battle line and in the rear by active actions.
In general, the Russian invaders lost 1,140 people last day. Ukrainian soldiers also destroyed two tanks, nine armored combat vehicles, 36 artillery systems, four anti-aircraft guns, four anti-aircraft vehicles, one plane, 81 operational-tactical BpLA, three missiles, 59 vehicles and eight units of enemy special equipment. Also, the loss of one helicopter by the occupiers in the previous days was confirmed.
Our strength is unity! Glory to Ukraine!
The motherland is being invaded - Russian propagandist Simonyan resort to praying!
Praying for fellow Z-propagandist Poddubny, who burned his fingers spreading his lies from the Kursk region of russia, where his car was allegedly attacked by an FPV drone.
Poddubny has repeatedly entered without permission in the illegally occupied territories of Georgia and Ukraine, where he justified war crimes and Russian aggression. He is reportedly alive, but in a very serious condition with burns.
⚡Bloomberg: “Kursk is the first time since World War II that another country’s official land army has invaded Russia
Yesterday, Putin, grim-faced, summoned his army and security chiefs for an explanation. Furious Russian military bloggers accused top officials of staggering incompetence.
Ukraine has said nothing about the mission or its purpose. Theories abound, from an attempt to seize territory as a potential bargaining chip in future negotiations with Moscow to a diversionary tactic to relieve pressure on Ukraine’s stretched defenses by drawing Russian forces away from the front lines.
The episode exposes the fragility of Russia’s border defenses, with a growing number of Russian troops fighting directly in Ukraine. It has boosted Ukrainian morale.
And it has also undermined the Kremlin’s carefully crafted image of Putin as a protector of ordinary Russians.
Instead, the war he started in Ukraine is now increasingly spilling over into Russia, where people in border regions live under constant threat of shelling and drone strikes on key industrial sites.
For Ukraine, this is likely to bolster Kyiv's argument that U.S. and European allies should not fear the Kremlin’s threats of escalation, and that Ukraine should be allowed to fight Moscow in any way it sees fit to hasten the end of the war.”
The Ukrainian Armed Forces broke through defensive fortifications in the Kursk region of russia in just one day, - built at a cost of over 15 billion rubles
During the attack in the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to break through two lines of fortifications that the Russian authorities built over 2.5 years of war, spending 15 billion rubles. It took the Ukrainian military about a day to do this, writes "Agency".
The construction of two reinforced lines of defense in the Kursk region was first announced on October 23, 2022, by then Governor Roman Starovoit (now the Minister of Transport of Russia). By that time, according to him, two lines were already ready, and by November 5 he promised to finish the third. The Russian Defense Ministry and the regional border department of the FSB took part in the construction.
⚡️ Today, Internet resources of the Kursk region of russia were subjected to a massive DDoS attack. As a result, many services failed and are temporarily unavailable.
"Specialists from the regional Ministry of Digital Development and Communications are making every effort to restore the functionality of the resources of the Kursk Region Administration as soon as possible", the enemy regional administration reports.
I tend to not give polls much weight.

🇺🇸🇹🇷US demands Turkey to stop illegal transfer of technology to Russia, threatens consequences
"We need Turkey to stop the illegal transfer of US technology to Russia. We need progress on this matter from the Turkish government and industry, and quickly, or we will have no choice but to make those who circumvent our export controls face the consequences," said Assistant Secretary of Commerce Matthew Axelrod in a statement.
It is also recalled that Axelrod recently held talks with Turkish officials in Istanbul and Ankara on this issue.
According to the FT, due to the trade relations between Turkey and Russia, the US has previously added 18 Turkish companies to a special list: US firms need to obtain special licences to sell a number of categories of goods to these companies. The US administration has also repeatedly imposed sanctions on Turkish companies on charges of supporting the Russian defence industry.
I love the picture
The UN is worthless
😡🇺🇳 The attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region represents an escalation; the UN would like to see a de-escalation of the situation, — the office of the UN Secretary General
