โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Front #Summary for 30 Nov 2023 by 20:01โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นIn
#Kherson Direction, the AFU are holding on to the centre of #Krynki with their "teeth". Fierce fighting is continuing in the village, and our forces have managed to push the AFU out of a number of buildings. Amazingly, the AFU are bringing reserves to #Krynki. Their supply possibilities will improve if the #Dnieper is ice covered. Hopefully, we will be able to eliminate the AFU foothold before the frost.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Zaporozhye Direction, the snowfall has made the mud even more muddy. It is difficult to move forward, but our forces retain the initiative. Some more territories have been retaken from #Rabocino. We are gradually playing back the counteroffensive. The AFU does not stop attacks north of #Verbovoye. Our military is holding the line.

๐Ÿ”นIn #South Donetsk direction, without significant changes. Our Army continues to press the AFU on the #Priyutnoye - #Staromayorskoye line and consolidates after the latest advances.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Donetsk Direction, at #Avdeyevka, it is most active. Rains are expected, and if they are heavy, the fighting will certainly subside. Meanwhile, on our southern flank we came close to #Severnoye, the coverage of the village is planned. To the west, our forces are fighting for the approaches to #Tonenkoye. On the northern flank our forces are advancing towards #Novokalinovo and #Ocheretino. Fierce fighting is going on near #Stepovoye and to the west of the #Slagheap. Ukrainians are writing about our wide range of ammunition. Successes at the front are the most direct evidence of the development of the Russian military-industrial complex.

๐Ÿ“Œ #Avdeyevka has become a powerful fortified area over 10 years. From here the AFU has been hitting #Donetsk all this time. Avdeyevka coke plant is the heart of the fortress. When our army takes control of it, the liberation of #Avdeyevka will get easier. Kiev is fighting and will fight to the last for #Avdeyevka, because from there, our army will rush to liberate the entire #Donbass. There are no seriously fortified positions up to the #Kramatorsk - #Slavyansk line.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Bakhmut Direction, our forces also maintain their initiative. The AFU tried to retake positions near the #Berkhovskoye Reservoir, but ours repulsed the attacks and expanded the bridgehead. There is also progress near #Bogdanovka. There is no confirmation yet that our forces have entered the village, which is well fortified. This is where the AFU withdrew from #Bakhmut in the spring. According to some versions, our idea is to pass between #Bogdanovka and #Khromovo towards Chasov Yar.
South of the city fighting is ongoing near #Kleshcheyevka and #Andreyevka, with no change in the frontline. It is also not yet possible to push the AFU away from #Kurdyumovka.

๐Ÿ”นIn #Svatovo Direction, the AFU is expecting a Russian offensive. There are signs that ours will storm #Torskoye and #Zarechnoye, eliminating the AFU bridgehead on the #Zherebets River. In the area of #Zagoruykovka, our forces have cut into the AFU defence and are expanding their zone of control. There is fighting on the #Sinkovka - #Petropavlovka line. Our army held the lines after the enemy counterattacks, and maintained its presence in #Sinkovka. At the #Ivanovka - #Kislovka line, our forces are advancing slowly but steadily. The AFU is transferring reserves to #Kupyansk and further to #Petropavlovka and #Podoli.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธHenry Kissinger: The Legacy

The end of an era: Henry Kissinger, the enigmatic titan of diplomacy, leaves behind a legacy at 100. His masterstroke in US-China relations juxtaposed sharply with a trail of horrific "war crimes" and a Nobel Peace Prize shrouded in controversy. Tara Reade sits down with RT and unravels the paradox of a man who shaped the world in ways unforgotten.

The first to go: in the 103rd TRO brigade (Lvov) the first children trained at the Gaimadatskaya Sich training and educational center were called up.

The head of the Gaymadatskaya Sich training and educational center , Vadim Arnaut , has been serving in the 103rd territorial defense brigade for quite a long time, the camp of which is designed to teach orphans minimal military training skills.

At the end of October, this camp was visited by the brigade commander, Colonel Valery Kurko and Arnaut , who within a couple of days selected the most motivated and prepared teenagers.

And so, a month after their visit, the first โ€œgraduatesโ€ of the camp were called up as โ€œvolunteersโ€ to the 103rd brigade. One of them is a 17-year-old militant, call sign " Yunga ".

โ€œJungโ€ was given a good ideological treatment: in his words, โ€œfrom the very beginning of the formation of the brigade, he dreamed of joining its ranks.โ€ So far, the young militant has been assigned to a medical company to help evacuate wounded brigade soldiers from the battlefield, but then they promise to transfer him to attack aircraft (which is what he dreams of).

Such a young age does not bother him: according to โ€œYungaโ€, there are a lot of people like him (17-year-old orphans) who are ready to die for Ukraine - thanks for this to Colonel Kurko and Arnaut .

In general, the reserves prepared by brigade commander Kurko in the form of "Zel-jugend" are slowly beginning to be used at the front. As the situation worsens, more and more teenagers will be drafted into the Armed Forces of Ukraine. First as medics, cooks and service personnel, and then as stormtroopers and โ€œmeatโ€.

Quite moved by Larchmonter445 - arguably my sharpest reader ever:

"As dark as Pepe has ever been.
The Truth is Dark, and the Darkness has devoured the Light.
The righteous resistors have had to choose the sword and the torch.
They had no choice.
But it has unleashed the worst use of sword and torch.
To quell the wild animals, the protectors have gone wild.
It is a law of nature.
One must holster the heart, and win the fight or be devoured."

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บThe servicemen of the communications unit prepared an unexpected surprise for Mikhail Alekseevich Mezin: they showed him how they use modern communications equipment on the frontlines

Welcome to the United States of Stupid. Members of Joe Bidenโ€™s cabinet in the media continue to embarrass themselves. The first example is the guy in charge of making sure our kids get a quality education. Secretary Miguel Cordona ineptly repeated Ronald Reagan's famous quote. The Secretary said: "I think it was President Reagan who said, 'We're from the government. We're here to help." Secretary Cordona may wanna have someone factcheck his next speech because Reagan was ralling against the government. [He said:] "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.โ€™โ€

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Indian Oil Imports From Russia Increase in November: Reports

๐Ÿ›ข India substantially increased its monthly imports of Russian oil in November, data from Kpler and Vortexa have shown.

The figures show a significant rise of 5-9% from the previous month, bringing India's intake to 1.68-1.73 million barrels per day (bpd).

"India has been roaring back to strength ever since its autumn refinery maintenance period was completed by early November, so now almost every refiner is ramping up runs to satiate growing domestic demand," Kpler's crude analyst Viktor Katona said.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช While in Russia unemployment has fallen to 2.9% and there are no industries left in the country that are not experiencing staff shortages, in the Federal Republic of Germany, under the leadership of a "talented" gop team consisting of Habeck, a lignite greengrocer, Berbock, a 360-degree whirler of low-social policy, and Scholz, who likes to stick his fingers in other people's gas turbines, unemployment has taken a logical upsurge.

It "unexpectedly" soared to 5.9 percent in November 2023 - the highest level in 2.5 years. An additional 22,000 people lost their jobs during the month.

The main reason is that deindustrialization, carried out in the interests of American corporations, continues in the FRG. Factories are closing, industrial capital is fleeing the country, and good burghers are being asked to leave.

(And remember, not so long ago the FRG was the industrial, industrial and economic locomotive of the entire European Union? Forget it!)
