Censor.NET editor-in-chief Yurii Butusov published an inscription on the bulletproof vest of a medical instructor of the 116th Poltava Territorial Defense Brigade with the call sign Frenchman, who is near Avdiivka.
He wrote about this on Facebook.
Butusov noted: “The body armor vest of the medical instructor is called French from the 116th Poltava Brigade of the Territorial Defense near Avdiivka. The Frenchman works with the infantry directly on the front line, he has saved many comrades, did not leave his comrades despite a severe concussion, and continued the task.
It is worth noting the exceptional heroism and combat capability of the Poltava soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces, after the difficult first battles, some units of the 116th Brigade heroically hold their positions on one of the main blows of the Russian army.

From October 30 to November 6, 2023, operators of the “Army of Drones” of Ukraine destroyed 317 occupiers and hit a record number of Russian strongholds – 335.
Deputy Prime Minister for Innovations, Development of Education, Science and Technologies — Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov posted this on Telegram.
“Last week, the enemy was unlucky with strongholds - UAV operators eliminated 335 positions, an absolute record,” wrote Fedorov. According to him, the enemy’s destroyed and damaged military equipment include 83 armored fighting vehicles, 36 tanks, 53 cannons, 18 self-propelled artillery systems, 72 units of cargo and special vehicles.
As reported, the Army of Drones project, launched by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation, is a comprehensive program that involves systematic drone procurement, maintenance, and training courses for relevant specialists.
The growing reliance on short-range exploding drones on the front line has prompted the Russians to deploy more handheld jamming devices, Ukrainian officials say.
Since the war’s early days, Russia has used long-range, military-grade drones to inflict devastating damage and psychological terror in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, and in other cities. Over time, the Ukrainian military has responded by launching its own military-grade drones deep behind enemy lines, targeting warships in the Black Sea, an airport in Western Russia and even buildings in Moscow.

Not sure what she meant by “zero mobilization”, maybe mobilization to the front line, which is often called a “zero zone” in Russian..
I doubt that there will be a mass mobilization before the elections. But once and if Putin is elected with no protests, no real opponents (like Boris Nadezhdin from the previous video: https://youtu.be/oWMqRL_ZlE8), then there might be a huge mobilization in Russia.
But we’ll see.. There is still time for everything to change.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six hundred twenty third day of the war.
Day 623: Nov 08
Today, there is a lot of news from the Kherson region.
Here, Ukrainian forces have increased the intensity of their operations on the eastern bank of the river, widened their bridgehead, and started transporting heavy equipment across the river.
First of all, today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians conducted the first fording of the river using heavy equipment. Since Russians published the footage, the Ukrainian side did not try to deny these claims and confirmed that they indeed transported 1 armored fighting vehicle to Krynky. Some analysts concluded that given the scale of the bridgehead, it is too early to transport vehicles in large numbers as there is not enough space for effective use. Moreover, Russian sources report that Ukrainians are constantly firing at Russians from tanks anyway.
The topography of the region gives Ukrainians a substantial tactical advantage because the western bank of the river is essentially one big hill. The whole eastern bank of the river, on the other hand, is virtually at zero elevation, so all Russian positions along the river, including the settlements, are under total direct fire control. Such a setting allows Ukrainian infantry to operate under cover from tanks without the need to transport these tanks across the river.
But from today, Ukrainians will also use heavy equipment on the eastern bank. And this is not surprising because, over the last week, Ukrainians have increased their bridgehead substantially. Despite continuous bombing, Ukrainians managed to hold the central part of Krynky. Russian soldiers complained about Russian aviation and said that they are just dropping multiple FAB-500 air bombs somewhere in the area where Ukrainians were previously seen and that the results of such bombardments are close to zero.
The Russian commanders still considered that the preparation for the assaults was completed and sent a group of Russian soldiers to clear an area in Krynky. Unfortunately for Russians, the operation went terribly wrong. The footage shows that the moment Russians entered the village, they realized that Ukrainians were present throughout the village, so Russians effectively put themselves into a pocket.
The Russian assault unit immediately tried to retreat back to the forest, but Ukrainians were already waiting for them there. Since Ukrainian reconnaissance drone operators spotted Russians on the approach, Ukrainians sent a group of soldiers to close all retreat routes of Russians. As a result, when the Russians got close to the forest, the whole assault unit was eliminated from a machine gun.
Ukrainian fighters released a lot of videos showing how they were gradually destroying Russian forces on the outskirts of the village, slowly pushing Russians further and further. One video shows how Ukrainians spotted how Russian soldiers delivered ammunition to the front with cars, and immediately destroyed all of them with kamikaze drones. Russians were also seen using civilian trucks, which were also destroyed.
After the Russians were pushed to the outskirts and started
losing their grip on the village, they started using armored fighting vehicles. It took more than one drone, but the vehicle was chased down, and the crew destroyed. Drone operators from Madiar’s Birds Battalion showed how they detected and destroyed one T-90M tank and one T-72 tank that opened fire at Ukrainian positions in Krynky.
The scale of the drone strikes rapidly increased, and Russian soldiers complained that there are so many Ukrainian drones in the sky that they have to spend 7 hours walking a four-kilometer distance. Russians started losing their personnel, howitzers, and other heavy equipment not only along the river but also near Chelburda, Radensk, Pishchane, and Obryvka.
Such a high level of control over the region allowed Ukrainians to conduct yet another amphibious operation, this time northwest of Pidstepne. Russian sources reported that Ukrainian fighters from the 35 Marine Brigade crossed the river, pushed Russians out of the first line of fortifications, and established a bridgehead. Simultaneously, Ukrainians intensified their attacks on Poima, Pischanivka, and Krynky to fix Russian troops. The operation was successful, and Ukrainians managed to widen the new bridgehead and entrench right in between Pidstepne and Kozachi Laheri.

>>> Shhh! The poster is in the Bargaining phase of the Grief process.
After I read your post, I was hit by an epiphany....
I thought “NO WONDER Biden was ALL OVER Hamas “backing Israel” in RECORD TIME!... like buzzards swarming in on a road kill....
It just didn’t make sense, considering we practically loaded the cannon and handed Hamas a packet of matches to begin with...
But... If Ukraine is going down, Israel’s victory was Biden’s only way out of a humiliating foreign policy defeat... but now with the world turning on Israel, Biden is going to be hung out to dry for it!!!
Now we can understand why Biden is so eager for Israel to back off... It’s not the “victory” he was hoping for.
Talk about God working in mysterious ways!... This is getting a little scary if you ask me.

We’re having huge success on Crimean front – National Security and Defence Council Secretary
Ukrainska Pravda

Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), has said that Ukraine is achieving “huge success on the Crimean front”.
SOURCE: Danilov on the joint national 24/7 newscast, quoted by Ukrinform
QUOTE: “We are having huge success on the Crimean front right now.
We keep on focusing on what is happening on dry land. But when it comes to the destruction of the Russian Federation, the destruction of their assets in Crimea and the destruction of the Black Sea Fleet, these are huge achievements for our country.”
DETAILS: Danilov said he was confident there would be more good news to come about the destruction of the Russian invaders and their resources on the Crimean front.
BACKGROUND:
• On 4 November, explosions occurred in Russian-occupied Crimea while an air raid was ongoing. Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of Ukraine’s Air Force, later said that Ukrainian pilots had carried out airstrikes on the infrastructure of the Zalyv shipyard in the city of Kerch. At that time, there was no certainty about whether the warship had been destroyed.
• On the evening of 4 November, the Russian Defence Ministry admitted that a warship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet docked at a shipyard in Kerch had been “damaged”.
• On the morning of 5 November, Oleshchuk confirmed that the Ukrainian forces had sunk one of the most modern ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, a Kalibr cruise missile carrier.
• Satellite imagery dated 5 November revealed the site of the damage at the shipyard and a warship that also appears to be damaged.
• Photos of the damaged Askold missile carrier also emerged online.

To win the war one needs weapons, and to make the weapons cheaper you have to produce them domestically. That’s why Ukraine is investing massive efforts in building military plants and facilities for domestic production of ammunition, drones, artillery and many more.
