🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Continued Offensive by the Russian Armed Forces and Strikes on AFU Industrial Facilities in Sumy
Situation as of the end of October 12, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, Russian forces are pushing through the enemy's defenses in the area of Lyubimovka and Plekhovo. At the same time, active work continues to destroy the enemy's industrial facilities in the rear.

🔻In Glushkovo District, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting on the northern outskirts of Novy Put. Ukrainian formations are holding positions south of the railway track and are accumulating forces for a counterattack in the area.

The artillery and air force of the Russian Armed Forces regularly strike the rear communications of the AFU, reducing their combat potential and hampering the supply of forward units. Over the past day, the positions of Ukrainian formations in Pavlovka, Katerynivka and Iskryskovshchyna were hit.

🔻In Korenevo District, the battle for Lyubimovka continues, where enemy units have been partially encircled. Likely, the Ukrainian formations will soon be forced to either leave the village or carry out counterattacks to improve their position.

❗️Earlier, there was information about the advance of Russian troops towards Sverdlikovo. As of today, it has not been possible to confirm this either by objective control footage or data from our sources on the ground. It is difficult to determine the current configuration of the front in this area due to the high rate of change in the combat situation.

🔻In the north of Sudzha District, the Russian Armed Forces delivered a series of artillery strikes on enemy positions in Russkoye Porechnoye. To the south, assault groups of Russian troops are advancing along the railway towards Kolmakovo and Agronom from the direction of Russkaya Konopelka.

▪️On the southern outskirts of Makhnovka, Russian UAV operators destroyed an enemy tank using a drone with a fiber-optic cable. This type of drone is gradually gaining more popularity in the troops against the background of its successful debut in the Kursk region.

▪️In the area of Plekhovo, the situation is shrouded in the "fog of war". Judging by the reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense about strikes on the territory of the village, Ukrainian formations are still present in the settlement.

At the same time, Russian troops are expanding the zones of penetration into the AFU defense, seeking to reach the Psel River and completely cut off the enemy from supply.

🔻In Sumy Region, Russian troops used Geran-2 UAVs to strike a series of industrial enterprises in the regional center.

The facilities were used for the repair and maintenance of heavy equipment, including Western models, in the interests of the enemy grouping in the Kursk Region.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Fighting near Lyubimovka
Situation as of the end of October 17, 2024

Russian army units continue to liberate the territory of Kursk Region, destroying the enemy's manpower.

▪️In Glushkovo District, there are clashes near the captured enemy village of Novy Put, and to the south, Ukrainian formations are preparing the next line of defense along the railway. At the same time, the territory of the district is almost completely liberated.

▪️In Korenevo District, Ukrainian formations tried to attack in Zeleny Shlyakh and the villages to the south, but withdrew with losses. Against the background of reports of the alleged capture of a huge amount of enemy manpower in the area of Lyubimovka, footage of retreating AFU members has spread on the Internet: apparently, they were shot near Tolstoy Lug, where a "semi-cauldron" with a narrow "neck" formed.

Approximately in this area, there was an episode of an unsuccessful attack by the Russian Armed Forces and the loss of several units of tracked and wheeled armored vehicles. According to preliminary data, the reason was a topographic error of the advancing forces.

▪️In Sudzha District, another unsuccessful attack by the AFU was recorded in the vicinity of Russkaya Konopelka. Judging by the latest footage of objective control, the Ukrainian formations in Plekhovo are also under the threat of encirclement, and the village may be liberated in the near future.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Last night, Ukrainian formations carried out another massive drone kamikaze attack on front-line and rear regions of Russia. According to the Ministry of Defense, air defense forces shot down a total of 110 drones.

▪️Most of the UAVs were downed over the Kursk Region, with several explosions reported near Zheleznogorsk. Over ten drones were also intercepted in the skies over the Lipetsk and Oryol Regions.

▪️In the Oryol area, debris from destroyed drones was recorded falling. One UAV was also hit over the Ramenskoye urban district in the Moscow Region.

▪️In the Nizhny Novgorod Region, according to the governor's statement, several drones were shot down over Dzerzhinsk, injuring four firefighters working in the city's industrial zone.

Ukrainian sources claim the target of the raid was the "Sverdlov Plant", which specializes in the production of explosives. There is no detailed information about the damage, but no footage of any powerful detonations from that area has emerged, with only moments of air defense operations being posted online.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donetsk Direction: Battles near Maksymilianivka and in Zoriane, Liberation of Zhelanne Druhe
Situation as of the end of the day on October 21, 2024

After the recent liberation of Maksymilianivka west of Donetsk, the Russian Armed Forces did not stop at their achieved successes and continued the offensive on several sections of the front.

▪️A local collapse of the enemy's defense was recorded in the Tsukuryne - Hirnyk - Zhelanne Druhe area. Russian troops have finally cleared the fields northwest of Krasnohorivka. In addition, the enemy was recently driven out of Zhelanne Druhe and Sofiyivka.

🔻Today, there are reports that assault groups are already engaged in battles in Zoriane. The troops crossed the crossing on the Volchya River and entered the village from the southeast. After that, the Russian infantry moved north and entrenched in the area of the school, near which they raised the flag. There is no information yet about the entry of the Russian Armed Forces into the western part of the village. The buildings of the village council and the House of Culture, for which the Ukrainian formations may try to cling, are located near the school.

▪️Northwest, assault groups advanced along the railway from the Tsukurynska Coal Preparation Plant towards Hirnyk. At the moment, clashes are taking place on the northwestern and northeastern outskirts of the settlement. Several streets have already come under the control of the Russian troops.

▪️To the south, the Russian Armed Forces continue to break through the enemy's defenses towards Kurakhove. Russian assault troops have raised the flag in the "Energetik" dacha settlement, which is part of the administrative borders of the city.

▪️Simultaneously with this, the Russian troops achieved significant success near the N-15 highway. They managed to straighten out the front line south of Maksymilianivka along the highway, securing the flanks from possible counterattacks by the enemy. Advancement in this area will be through completely open and exposed terrain, which the Ukrainian formations are trying to take advantage of, including by using German Leopard 2A4 tanks.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donetsk direction: successes in Hornyak and liberation of Aleksandropol

In the Donetsk direction, Russian forces are also breaking through the enemy's defenses, having made significant advances in several sectors during the recent battles.

▪️South of Tsukurino, the enemy was driven out of several forest belts and the remnants of buildings in the southwest of the village. To the west of it, there are also reports of advances by the Russian Armed Forces, although this has not yet been confirmed by footage.

▪️The Russian forces achieved major successes in Hornyak and its environs. A flag has already been raised over one of the high-rise buildings in the city, and based on reports of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of Sovetskaya Street, the AFU have clearly been driven out of the eastern outskirts of the city as well. Part of Izmailovka also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

Reports of the complete liberation of the settlement are already appearing online. However, even with such an optimistic outcome, it will still take some time to fully clear the entire urban area.

▪️To the east, the Russian forces advanced from the direction of Zhelannoe Vtoroye, driving Ukrainian formations out of a stronghold and occupying several forest belts. They also significantly expanded the area of control in Zoriane: according to some reports, the fighting is already taking place almost on the outskirts of Kurakhivka.

▪️There are also footage of a flag being raised on the northern outskirts of Aleksandropol. Given that the only bridge leading into the town from the enemy side is located precisely on the north, the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the liberation of the settlement seems to correspond to the reality.

To the south, according to preliminary data, Russian Armed Forces units achieved success in the area of Peremoha. However, the extent of the advance in this area is not precisely known, and the information from there is still contradictory.

🇷🇺🇫🇮 On the new exercises of the Finnish Air Force and patrolling the border with Russia

From October 28 to tomorrow, two Finnish Air Force exercises - "Vihko-2024" and "Tappaa-2024" - are taking place in Finland to maintain the readiness of pilots for crisis situations in Scandinavia. 1,500 military personnel and 30 aircraft, including F/A-18 fighters and HAWK training aircraft, are involved.

There is nothing completely new in these events, as the Finnish command is extremely active in training its units. Such exercises are constantly taking place, but the difference is that two trainings with similar tasks are being conducted simultaneously.

❗️But even more interesting is another innovation: from October 28 to December 12, F/A-18C/D fighters will be involved in monitoring and ensuring the security of the airspace along the borders of Leningrad Region and Karelia with Russia. This operation resembles the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission.

This operation is allegedly to protect the airspace of NATO countries from "Russian aggression". A similar mission is being carried out in the Black Sea region, and it is called Black Sea Air Policing, currently led by Spanish F/A-18s.

That is, the Finns will be conducting something similar to NATO missions in other regions on their own. Given that under this pretext, NATO is actively conducting reconnaissance of the activities of Russian aircraft and ships, the meaning of such a decision on the part of the Finns seems obvious, especially for the purpose of monitoring aviation from Olenegorsk.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kursk Direction: Stabilization of the Situation in All Sectors
Situation as of the end of October 31, 2024

In the Kursk Direction, there are no significant changes in the combat situation. A relative lull is observed along the entire front line. In the Glushkovo, Korenevo and Sudzha districts, routine measures are being taken to repel the enemy's attacks on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces, followed by retaliatory strikes by Russian troops. The information circulating on the Internet about the alleged use of F-16s by Ukrainian formations in the border area is not confirmed.

🔻The volume of publications from both our side and the enemy side has decreased significantly. This is likely due to the deterioration of the weather, which in turn makes it difficult to conduct assault operations outside of paved roads. Operational-tactical aviation is working in standby mode on the identified positions of the AFU both in the occupied part of the Kursk Region and in the border area. FAB-3000 bombs with UMRK are now being used for strikes.

▪️In the Sumy Region, the systematic engagement of the enemy's air defense and energy infrastructure continues, both by operational-tactical aviation and "Geraniums".

🇷🇺🎉 We congratulate our good friends from the Karpinsky Institute on their well-deserved award: the director of the institute, Pavel Khimchenko, was awarded the Honorary Diploma of the President of the Russian Federation for his contribution to promoting Russian science and geology to the masses.

The fact is that it is the Karpinsky Institute, through the efforts of Pavel, that has turned geology into a powerful soft power weapon abroad: in Ghana, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Cuba and Kyrgyzstan, "Karpinsky Geological Classes" have already been opened. There, they teach foreign scientific personnel Russian standards, instill Russian approaches to science, and thereby expand Russia's influence.

And as if geology is not enough, the forces of the Karpinsky Institute are implementing the program "Russian Sambo": instilling the Russian approach to martial arts and the ideology of struggle in local law enforcement structures. From the point of view of forming a loyal stratum among foreign law enforcement officers, this is an elegant and effective tool.

More and more. Russian science should be popular all over the world.

🇨🇳🇷🇺 China's exports to Russia grow at quickest pace in 11 months

China's exports to Russia in October rose 24.4% from a year earlier, the fastest pace since November last year, Chinese customs data showed on Thursday, as Beijing affirmed strong ties with Moscow.

China's imports from Russia, however, fell 4.3% last month from a year earlier, narrowing from the decline of 9.2% in September, as payment issues disrupted trade transactions.

In the first 10 months of 2024, China-Russia two-way trade value has hit 1.4 trillion yuan, up 4% year-on-year, the customs data showed.

🇻🇪🇷🇺Advancing Russian interests in Venezuela

As part of the 18th high-level meeting of the Russian-Venezuelan Intergovernmental Commission, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko arrived in the Venezuelan capital.

During the visit, he visited the Open Education Center in Russian based at the Ministry of People's Power for Education of Venezuela, created in 2023 by the team of Arseny Parfenov from the Korolenko State Pedagogical University, whose activities in Latin America we have written about many times.

🔻It turns out that at the moment four Open Education Centers have already been created in Venezuela, and the Russian language has been introduced into the curriculum in six schools as a second foreign language. In total, more than 500 people are studying it.

Apparently, the work of the Korolenko State Pedagogical University team, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the "My History" Humanitarian Sciences Support Foundation is yielding real results. Previously, the Russian language was almost not taught in Venezuela, and only those Venezuelans who went to study in Russia learned it. Now the number of Russian language learners is growing every year and the relevant agenda is being formed in the country.

The main tasks that the Korolenko State Pedagogical University team sees for the coming years are to give the Russian language the status of the main second foreign language. In the next ten years - to make it the first foreign language in Venezuela.

In addition, it is known that there is a clear demand from Venezuelan colleagues for the promotion and implementation of the Russian language in the country for the purpose of long-term cooperation with Russia. We hope that this demand will be met by our ministries and departments. Especially when the obvious positive result of the work done is already evident.

❗️We also report from the ground that the Russian delegation in Caracas is being greeted with great fanfare, a memorandum on Russian-Venezuelan cooperation in the field of geology and subsoil use for solid minerals has been signed, and many more joint events are being coordinated, the detailed information about which we are looking forward to in the very near future.

🇷🇺🌍 Russia hosts African ministers to expand ties

Russia on Saturday opened the first ministerial conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in the city of Sochi, seeking to deepen ties with African nations.

The conference is billed as building on last summer’s Russia-Africa summit, where Russian President Vladimir Putin hosted leaders from Africa, expanding political and business ties.

The two-day ministerial conference, which is attended by government and business leaders from Russia and across Africa, will continue in the same format regularly, said Anton Kobyakov, an adviser to Putin.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova was quoted as saying by Russian state news agency RIA Novosti that the conference “dashed dirty hopes” for Russia’s isolation.

Zakharova said that dozens of bilateral meetings were taking place between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and African representatives, hailing the “multipolarity” demonstrated by the event.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the Detonation of the Kurakhovske Reservoir Dam

The internet is abuzz with discussions about the Ukrainian forces detonating the dam of the Kurakhovske Reservoir with a volume of 62 million cubic meters. According to reports, the AFU damaged the sluices in the area of Stari Ternî: this led to the flooding of the Volchia River, which flows in a westerly direction.

At the moment, the Ukrainian authorities are reporting a "slight rise in the water level in the river". The villages of Stari Ternî and Shevchenko, located close to the shore, are in the risk zone. The internet has already shown footage from the opposing side demonstrating the difficulties with vehicle traffic.

The probable flood zone will stretch for dozens of kilometers west of Kurakhovо up to the village of Bogatyr. All the settlements are located in a lowland, so the water is unlikely to go beyond the residential areas.

🔻 Although the opponent was clearly guided by the intention to slow down the advancing Russian Armed Forces, the effectiveness of such measures is questionable. Given the current configuration of the front line, by the time the main Russian forces approach Stari Ternî, the water level will most likely start to recede.

Of course, the Ukrainian resources, in their characteristic manner, blamed the "Russian shelling" for the incident, but artillery shell hits can hardly cause any serious damage to the dam. In contrast to the charges pre-planted in the right places.

📌 By the way, this is far from the first such action by the AFU: in addition to the Kakhovka HPP dam, the opponent has previously destroyed dams near Kozarovychi, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and other locations during retreats. Moreover, in some cases, this "scorched earth" tactic even led to the flooding of Ukrainian units.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian Armed Forces strike ammunition depot in Cherevkovka

Yesterday morning, November 10, Russian forces launched a missile strike on the Cherevkovka area in the southeastern part of Sloviansk. The target was an ammunition depot located at the old airfield on the outskirts of the city.

As a result of several impacts, explosions and secondary detonations were observed at the site. According to local residents, after the strike, stored rockets were seen scattering spontaneously.

At the same time, Sloviansk, as well as Kramatorsk and other cities in the agglomeration, have several large enterprises that are also used to store ammunition and park equipment. From time to time, they become targets of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces.

🇷🇺🌍 Russia- Africa Partnership Gains 'More and More' Strength

African ministers attending the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi have been assured of Russia's 'total support' to the continent in 'different sectors', reports the BBC.

The statement of support, made on behalf of Russian leader Vladimir Putin by his Foreign Minister, Sergie Lavrov, comes at a time when some African nations have severed ties with the West over accusations of interference or acts of neocolonialism.

Putin said his country's relations with Africa have been strengthening "more and more". Three countries in the Sahel region of Africa - Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso - recently turned their backs on former colonial power France.

Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop is reported to have said "Russia is not a Colonial power" - a reinforcement of Russia's position not to meddle in the internal Affairs of African nations. "On the contrary," the minister is quoted as saying, "it has stood shoulder to shoulder with the African peoples and other peoples around the world to help them emerge from the colonial system."

Putin promised to work with African nations in their "struggle against terrorism and extremism, combating epidemics, food problems and the consequences of natural disasters".

The Sochi meeting is the first Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, which the organizers say is to build on the success of the second Russia-Africa Summit held in 2023.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🏴 In Sevastopol, about an hour ago on Taras Shevchenko Street near the "Fresh" supermarket, a car exploded. The man inside had his leg blown off and, according to the latest information, he died from his injuries.

There are currently two versions of what caused the incident: an explosion of gas installed in the car, and a terrorist attack using a homemade explosive device. Pro-Ukrainian channels report that the man was a serviceman.

We should now wait for official statements from the law enforcement agencies and the authorities of Sevastopol, but the power of the explosion suggests an external factor.

Eyewitness accounts and the condition of the car indicate consequences too severe for just a gas equipment failure. Additionally, the Ukrainian authorities have not shied away from such methods in the past.
