These villages are southwest of the Pokrovsk area. Russia has created a new salient at Novopavlivka. We’ll see if they can hold it.

Russian forces used fog to build a pontoon crossing between Yalta and Dachne on November 14, moving roughly ten vehicles into Novopavlivka and dispersing troops across the village, DeepState reports. Ukrainian forces destroyed at least one tank and one infantry fighting vehicle by evening.

I guess Russia couldn’t find a kindergarten or hospital in Dnipro.
The strike on Russia’s air-defense systems at Novorossiysk may have been quite successful.
But how could so many air-defense units fail so badly to defend against this attack? If Russia can’t shoot down a Long Neptune missile, it isn’t going to have much luck against a Tomahawk.

SBU drones destroyed four S-400 launchers and two radars in Novorossiysk, RBC-Ukraine sources report. Satellite imagery confirmed hits at a base housing roughly twelve S-400 systems, eliminating a 96N6 early warning radar and a 92N6 fire control radar.

Researcher MT_Anderson analyzed satellite imagery of the Novorossiysk air defense site prior to the recent Neptune strike. He counted 7 S-400 launchers likely within the blast zone. Footage shows clear explosions and secondary detonation. Now waiting on post-strike imagery to assess the damage.

There is no word on whether the operator of this system is required to holler “dracarys” before firing.
Another 1,000 Russians who should have stayed home, plus six tanks.
It’s hard to be too critical of Poland, which has provided a vast amount of support for Ukrainian refugees for almost four years now. But no one ever said the biggest threat from Russia in 35 years to all of Europe would be convenient or easy.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish PM Tusk:
Today, enthusiasm for supporting Ukraine has weakened in Poland and abroad. People are tired of the war and its costs, so maintaining support is harder.
I often stress that it’s in Poland’s clear interest for Ukraine to remain an independent, well-governed state.

The Donbas Tourism Bureau isn’t going to like this story.
The blogger writing about what a shithole Donbas is becoming naturally blames Ukraine for a lot of it.

1/ The occupied Donbas is a garbage-filled, dysfunctional, and corrupt region infested by packs of man-eating dogs, according to a Russian warblogger. In a remarkable display of cognitive dissonance, she blames Ukraine and says that Russia is only in nominal control. ⬇️

2/ Journalist and warblogger Anastasia Kashevarova, who has frequently campaigned to improve the situation of Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, has posted a long denunciation of the situation in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, partly under Russian control since 2014.
……
13/ "5. The DPR and LPR are experiencing a garbage disaster. There's trash everywhere, no one's taking it out or cleaning it up. Conscientious residents can't get through to the authorities.
14/ "And unscrupulous ones just litter, and there are no fines or penalties for it, because municipalities aren't addressing the problem.
15/ "6. Packs of dogs roam the cities and attack people, often children. Many dogs have even tried human flesh, having come running from the front lines. But no one is catching them.
Anyone else creeped out by this?
How long before we start seeing meat assaults by terminators?
This is outrageous and unacceptable. Arrests need to be made to regain donor/public trust.

Why are Kyiv residents enduring 12-16 hour blackouts?
This report reveals: while one energy operator built 60 protective shelters with 98% success rate against Russian attacks, hundreds of other critical facilities got zero protection—due to corruption and political failures.
