I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the six-hundred-thirty-second day of the war.

Day 632: Nov 17

Today, there are a lot of good updates from the Tokmak direction.

Here, Ukrainian forces continued conducting the counteroffensive operation and recently achieved significant results. The main goal of Ukrainians has changed since October, and currently, the first priority is to widen the bridgehead, not deepen it.

The reason behind the widening of the bridgehead lies in the topography of the region. If we look at the topographic map, we can see that the Ukrainian bridgehead is surrounded by tactical heights. In order to simplify holding the ground, improve their logistical possibilities, and set conditions for future advancement southward, establishing control over the highlands is imperative.

Since Russian forces launched their offensive operation in Avdiivka, the situation in this region became quite ambiguous because both Russians and Ukrainians had quite a lot of forces here, and whoever would be forced to relocate them first would suffer territory losses.

When it comes to Russians, instead of decreasing the number of troops on the contact line, they decided just to relocate their reserves to Avdiivka. Without reserves, Russians virtually lost the ability to conduct rotation, and it was just a matter of time until the exhaustion accumulated beyond the breaking point. This decision ensured that Russians did not face any consequences immediately but set themselves up for a potential disaster in the medium to long term.

When it comes to Ukrainians, they did two things.
FIRST of all, they did relocate some detachments to Avdiivka almost immediately, which is why the tempo of the offensive operation suffered in the short term. However, the remaining detachments were left with reserves to continue conducting rotation.
SECONDLY, Ukrainians decided to compensate for that by deploying some of the most skilled artillery and drone crews because, in Avdiivka, Ukrainians needed a pure volume of artillery shells, while here, Ukrainians needed precision the most.

A Ukrainian fighter from the twenty-fourth assault brigade reported that since skilled artillery and drone crews arrived in the region, the situation became quite interesting. The first Ukrainian push happened north of Verbove. Russian sources reported that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian strong points north of Verbove and forced them to withdraw from the tactical heights.

If we look at the topographic map, we can see that the Ukrainian set out to establish full control over this ridge. Ukrainians already control the highest points in the region, the only difficulty right now is moving through the fields after rains. A Ukrainian analyst assessed the situation and concluded that the Russian airborne units will now have a much harder time defending Verbove as the village is located in the lowlands.

The second and the biggest Ukrainian breakthrough happened west of Robotyne. Here, Russian forces were controlling several extensive trench networks. The freshest updates suggest that Ukrainians opened at least 5 vectors of attack.

Russian sources published geolocated footage showing Russian forces striking Ukrainian positions immediately west of Robotyne, indicating that Ukrainians successfully advanced and took control over the remaining trenches on the highlands. Moreover, the tree lines north and south of these fortifications were also taken by Ukrainians, as recent footage shows an engagement around 1 km west of previous positions.

But the biggest news is that Ukrainians conducted an insane night operation, sneaked into the underground barracks, and killed dozens of Russian soldiers. After extremely graphic footage of the aftermath leaked into the media space, a Russian fighter posted a video with an explanation. He said that Ukrainians took advantage of the exhausted, understaffed, and under-equipped Russian forces and conducted a night raid. He said that Russian soldiers did not have enough men on the watch, creating a lot of blind spots and risk. He also said that even those on the watch did not have night vision, while Ukrainians had. Moreover, Ukrainians also operated with silencers. As a result, Ukrainians quietly took out the whole guard, got onto the territory of the base, got into the underground barracks, and just opened fire from machine guns at the sleeping soldiers, then threw several grenades and escaped.

Denmark has handed over unique drones to the Ukrainian Navy. Those are autonomous hydrographic systems, which operate as part of the SeaBat T51 system, which, in particular, allow for the detection of underwater targets.

ArmyInform media outlet reported this with reference to Captain 1st Class Roman Honcharenko, the head of the hydrographic service of the Ukrainian Navy.

Honcharenko said that these drones are equipped with a multibeam echo sounder designed to survey the bottom topography for situational awareness of the underwater space.

“The main task of a multibeam echo sounder is to collect accurate data about the seabed and marine environment. This data can then be processed and used to create and update nautical charts and tablets to support safe navigation in the area”, Honcharenko said.

He explained that this allows you to explore the existing underwater obstacles, choose the right mooring places for boats, as well as passage options and routes for vessels.

“It will significantly enhance seabed exploration capabilities, which are sometimes crucial for maritime safety and environmental protection. Autonomous sonar control with artificial intelligence is specially designed for SeaBat T51 – this unique SeaBat innovation provides reliable data and hands-free sonar operation, allowing for increased survey efficiency with less operator workload”, Honcharenko added.

ARTICLE - Putin shows support for LGBT community

Putin mentions his KGB past and shows support for LGBT community
Ukrainska Pravda

Putin mentions his KGB past and shows support for LGBT community

In his address to the St Petersburg International Cultural Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin suddenly mentioned his former work for the Committee for State Security (KGB). He also made a statement IN SUPPORT OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

SOURCE: Russian media; Radio Liberty

DETAILS: Putin recalled his KGB past as he was commenting on a ban on Russian television channels in Italy.

QUOTE: “You asked if we know how it is done. As a former KGB officer, I know how to do it, but we don’t.”

DETAILS:
His response was met with fawning smiles and applause from the audience.

The Russian dictator also spoke out in support of representatives of the LGBT community.

Putin began by saying that in order to win cultural competitions in the West, he imagines it is necessary to “talk about, write or show something from the lives of sexual minorities, transgenders [sic] and other transformers”.

QUOTE:
“I’m going to say something unexpected: they too – these topics and these people – have the right to win [competitions], to show and to tell [their stories]. Because this is part of society too, it’s how some people live.

It’s bad if they are the only ones to win all these competitions – we don’t want that. But this desire for equality... this equality should be everywhere, in everything – especially cultural competitions.”

MORE DETAILS:
Russia now has a law banning so-called LGBT propaganda, which applies to any statements supportive of the LGBT community.

According to the practice of Russian courts, a citizen who spoke out the way Putin did at the St Petersburg forum could be fined up to RUB 200,000 (approx. US$2,240) as a private individual and up to RUB 400,000 (approx. US$4,480) as an official.

FURTHERMORE, Putin’s speech was made on the same day that Russia’s Ministry of Justice appealed to the Supreme Court demanding that the “international LGBT social movement” be recognised as extremist.

For reference: Putin served as a KGB foreign intelligence officer for 16 years, including 6 years in Dresden, Germany.

Kremlin says Putin or “someone else, but guy just like him” will win election
Ukrainska Pravda

Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Russian President, believes that the next leader of Russia will be “the same” as Vladimir Putin or “different, but the same”.

SOUTCE:
TASS, a Kremlin-aligned Russian news outlet, citing Peskov

DETAILS:
Asked what the president should be like after Vladimir Putin, Peskov succinctly answered, “The same.”

Asked to clarify whether this is possible, he replied that the next president could be “different, but the same” as Putin.

Peskov added that he “doesn’t doubt Putin’s victory” in the elections.

REFERENCE:
In 2008, the Russian Federation established a presidential term of 6 years, which began to apply to presidents elected after the adoption of the relevant amendments, starting with the 2012 elections.

Due to the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation introduced in 2020, Putin is eligible to run for presidency twice more, starting in 2024.

The presidential elections in Russia are to be held in March 2024. Putin has not yet officially announced his candidacy but the media assumed that he would announce his intention to run for office in November-December.

Russia’s next president should be “just like” Vladimir Putin, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the student news channel MGIMO 360.
“Just like Putin,” he said when asked what Russia’s next president should be like. In response to a clarifying question about whether such a thing was possible, Peskov said, “A different version, but still just like him.”

Russia’s presidential election will be held on March 17, 2024. The Russian Federation Council will make an official decision on the date of the election in December 2023, after which political parties must hold their pre-election congresses and officially nominate candidates. Putin is eligible to run for another term, but has not yet spoken about his decision on the matter.

Peskov expressed his hope that Russian President Vladimir Putin will run for reelection and win.

“Putin has not yet announced his intention to run for reelection. But I sincerely want to believe that he will do so. And I have no doubt that he will win the election and continue to be our president. We’ll see,” Peskov said.
But what he said creates the possibility that Putin is thinking of refusing to participate in the presidential elections.

Now he focuses solely on the Ukraine war and has over 464,000 subscribers to his channel. Davydov is routinely posting 600K to 800K views per video that he posts now. That could be bringing in $1800 to $2,400 or more per video at a $3.00 RPM (revenue per mille) rate. His monthly YouTube earnings could be over $63,000.

Russia’s capabilities in Black Sea are significantly reduced: 15 ships have already been destroyed and another 12 damaged, - Navy
News Censor.NET War
17.11.23 15:45
https://censor.net/en/n3456192

The Russian fleet suffered serious losses, in particular, 15 enemy ships were destroyed and another 12 were damaged. The capabilities of the Russians in the Black Sea have significantly decreased thanks to the work of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

This was stated by the spokesman of the Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk, reports Censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform .

“You can count those units that have already been disabled. These are 15 destroyed and 12 damaged enemy ships. Yes, of course, not all of this is the result of the work of our drones, but they also have quite a lot of damage to enemy ships. Therefore, we are actually the drivers of this new type of naval warfare, and everyone recognizes this,” he said.

According to the spokesman of the Navy, in this sense, Ukraine shows a new level of application of unmanned systems.

“We have a separate brigade of similar drones that use surface and underwater drones. And not only for reconnaissance and demining, but also for damage,” Pletenchuk noted.

According to him, the capabilities of the Russians in the Black Sea have recently decreased significantly thanks to the work of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. The enemy is forced to stay as far away as possible and is significantly limited in its actions.

“You can even say that they are now on the defensive. Nevertheless, the danger remains. Unfortunately, the enemy still has cruise missile carriers,” Pletenchuk added.

As the spokesman of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine assured, the movement of Ukrainian forces in the direction of weakening the Russian fleet will continue.
