🇺🇦 The Head of the Presidential Office acknowledged the existence of Ukraine's foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro River

🗣During a speech at the Hudson Institute on the topic "The Decisive Moment for Ukraine," Yermak stated:

Despite everything, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have captured a foothold on the left bank of the Dnipro. Step by step, they are demilitarizing Crimea. We have covered 70% of the distance. And our counteroffensive continues.

💬 This appears to be the first statement by a representative of the military-political leadership about the presence of Defense Forces on the left bank of Kherson region.

🌊At the same time, the situation for the marines on the foothold is not as easy as it may seem. It's been a month since the start of the operation, but losses continue, caught at Krynyky without the possibility to expand this "Omaha Beach". Without further expansion, the foothold could simply be wiped out along with our troops. Moreover, the enemy has already brought in reinforcements. There is also information being verified about the arrival in Kherson region of the 104th guards air assault regiment, which was reformed from the 31st guards air assault brigade.

🇫🇮muscovy is creating an artificial migration crisis at the border with Finland

🏃Dozens of undocumented people from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Turkey attempted to cross the Finnish border from the russian side over two days.

🤔 This is related to russian border guards ceasing document checks and starting to facilitate migrants' border crossings. This situation resembles a planned action by belarus in 2021, when it began sending thousands of refugees to the Polish, Lithuanian, and Latvian borders. Similar events also occurred in 2015-2016, when moscow conducted analogous actions at the Norwegian and Finnish borders.

🗣️ Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo commented on the situation, saying:

"This seems like a very deliberate decision."

👥 Other Finnish officials consider this an attempt by the kremlin to destabilize the situation in "unfriendly" countries without using direct force.

❗️ In response, Helsinki is considering temporarily closing the border with muscovy, limiting border crossings, and conducting more thorough checks. Official moscow has not commented on the situation.

Situation at the front as of the end of the day on November 14, 2023

▶️ Belarus, Siverskyi and Belgorod directions remain unchanged.

▶️ Svatove direction - clashes continue near Lyman Pervyi, Sinkivka and Pershotravneve. In the places of the main attacks, the katsaps have a significant advantage in manpower, which allows the enemy to advance up to 1-2 positions every day.

▶️ Bakhmut direction - the enemy continues to be active near Yahidne and Klishchiivka. The fighting continues.

▶️ Avdiivka direction - the enemy is attacking in many places. Assault actions were recorded west of Kamianka, near the water treatment plant and in the industrial area.

▶️ Berdiansk direction - the enemy continues to press west of Staromaiorske. The results of the fighting are being finalized.

▶️ Zaporizhzhia direction - counter-attacks continue in the forest belts west of Robotyne.

▶️ Tavria direction - fighting continues in Krynky. Katsaps are increasing pressure on the bridgehead.

🗂 Analytical note. Two cases of chemical weapons use were recorded in the Svatove and Bakhmut sections of the line, most likely the enemy used chloropicrin, which is in abundance in the stockpile and has been used against our troops many times. Avdiivka remains the hottest spot, but the Katsaps are conducting offensives in many other areas, which creates significant problems in managing reserves. Katsap does not spare its reserves, sending units into battle before they are ready. As an example, the enemy's 104th Airborne Division, which was supposed to be coordinated by December 1, is either already in Kherson or on the march.

🇩🇪 The contract for 100 PzH2000 units for Ukraine, which was supposedly approved in the summer of 2022, has not yet been signed

ℹ️ This was reported on X (formerly on Twitter) by German journalist Bjorn Mueller, citing a spokesman for KNDS, a defense corporation created from two military enterprises in Germany and France.

🤔 Ukraine wanted to order the units in the summer of 2022, and the German federal government approved this decision. The contract was supposed to be worth about $1.7 billion, and the delivery could have taken several years. The reasons for the non-signing are unknown.

✍🏻 However, Mueller's report also stated that preparations are underway for the production of RCH 155 wheeled self-propelled howitzers, which are to be delivered to Ukraine in the amount of 18 units. The contract, funded by Germany, is worth €216 million. Delivery is expected no earlier than 2024, as it takes time to set up production.

💭"Starting with what is called the 'Ukrainian Shahed,' we do not disclose the name of this product, but we have started its mass production and are now producing dozens per month.

🛡 According to the minister, the "Ukrainian Shahed" was developed at a state factory, and there is currently no integration of business with "Ukroboronprom" as state factories are operating, and investors are developing the private sector.

🇺🇦"Spread the word! Avdiivka is holding on!"

🏭 Today, the enemy has been trying all day to enter and establish a foothold in the territory of Avdiivka Coke Plant. But there stand brave soldiers holding the defense.

🫡One of them is a member of our team who survived a highly complex and unique heart operation after being wounded. He is now fighting against the muscovites as part of one of the brigades in that area. Tired, but unbroken! Therefore, we have no right to give up either!

🔄 The map has been updated!

⚔️ The enemy had success near Kyslivka. The line of contact near Shumy has been clarified. Fighting continues for Avdiivka.

Situation at the front as of the end of the day on November 16, 2023

▶️ Belarus, Siverskyi and Belgorod directions remain unchanged.

▶️ Svatove direction - clashes continue near Lyman Pervyi, Sinkivka and Pershotravneve. The enemy has partial success near Kyslivka.

▶️ Bakhmut direction - fighting continues near Kliishchiivka. In the area of Bohdanivka, the enemy intensified fire.

▶️ Avdiivka direction - the enemy continues to put pressure near Novokalynove. Katsap conducted an assault on the Avdiivka Coke plant, was unsuccessful, and retreated. In the industrial area near Yasynuvata, the Katsaps have actually broken through the frontal defense, but so far the artillery is preventing them from gaining a foothold and forcing them to retreat. However, these are temporary measures and sooner or later the enemy will gain a foothold. Katsaps continue to pump Krasnohorivka with reinforcements. The enemy is climbing into the dachas south of the spoil tip. In the 53rd brigade's lane, they are attacking Tonenke and Severne, and in the 59th brigade's lane, they are conducting assault operations within the settlement of Pervomaiske.

💬According to one of the soldiers who is currently at Avdiivka Coke plant:

"Since yesterday evening, the self-propelled anti-tank grenade launcher has been working closely on the buildings, in the morning two tanks and a BMW joined, which no one punished. They started to dismantle the buildings, we had a direct hit on the wall and the stairs, they shot their ammunition and went on a rollback. Then the mortars from Krasnohorivka started working, half of them fired smoke, then the infantry came in small groups under the cover of fpv (they had been accumulating forces behind the railroad for 2 days), but our infantry gave a good fight under the fence and the f***ers rolled back. All day the plant is being dismantled by mortars, now it's raining, so it's a little easier."

▶️ Berdiansk direction - no changes.

▶️ Zaporizhzhia direction - no changes. Fighting continues near Robotyne and Novoprokopivka.

▶️ Tavria direction - The Katsaps are trying to squeeze our forces out of Krynky, but are not successful. In an interview with Radio Svoboda, one fighter commented on the situation:

I personally do not like this online war very much. Because when it literally turns into a livestreamed battle, it does not reflect well on the actions of the Armed Forces, among other things. The situation there is not easy. I urge everyone not to imagine 'air castles».

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy continues to push our forces out of the Kupiansk area. The situation is especially difficult in the area of Kyslivka and Lyman Pershyi. In some places, the katsaps have a significant advantage in drones, which affects the growth of our sanitary losses. The situation near Avdiivka is difficult, the dynamics are very negative. However, we manage to repel most of the attacks.
