“It is not difficult to take a fortress, it is difficult to win a campaign ...” M.I. Kutuzov

Our guys near Kherson took a big risk. At any moment they could be cut off from supplies and in such a situation it would be extremely difficult to keep the defense. On the other hand, there is a real threat of undermining the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which, obviously, can lead to a large number of casualties among the civilian population and military personnel.

The main goal of today's maneuver is to protect the population while maximizing personnel savings.
We are always there for the guys, no matter what happens, no matter how difficult decisions are made.

The owner of PMC "Wagner" Prigozhin, who previously criticized the command of the Russian army for retreating from Liman, today supported the decision to leave Kherson

“The decision to withdraw troops from the right bank of the Dnieper is not an easy one, but it speaks of the readiness of the command to take responsibility for the lives of soldiers. The withdrawal of troops with minimal losses is Surovikin’s achievement, which does not do honour to Russian weapons, but emphasizes the personal qualities of the commander, who acted like a man who is not afraid of responsibility,” said Prigozhin.

Shoigu gave the order to withdraw troops for defence on the left bank of the Dnieper
Russian Defence Minister Shoigu ordered to begin the withdrawal of troops from the right to the left bank of the Dnieper

MOSCOW, November 9 - RIA Novosti. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu agreed with the proposal of the commander of the Joint Group of Russian Forces Sergei Surovikin to organize defence in the Kherson region on the left bank of the Dnieper.
“A comprehensive assessment of the current situation is proposed to take up defence along the left bank of the Dnieper River. I understand that this is a very difficult decision. In addition, part of the forces and means will be released, which will be used for active operations, including offensive ones, in other directions in the operation zone," Surovikin said.

He specified that "the manoeuvre of the troops will be carried out in the near future, formations and units will occupy defensive lines and positions prepared in engineering terms on the left bank of the Dnieper River."
"Kherson and adjacent settlements cannot be fully supplied and function, people's lives are constantly in danger," Surovikin said.
He stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue shelling the Kakhovka dam - this can provoke flooding, which will entail significant casualties. This threatens to isolate the troops on the right bank of the Dnieper if they are not withdrawn from there.

The commander also noted that the enemy is hitting local government facilities, schools, hospitals, and other socially significant facilities.
He added that more than 115,000 people were evacuated from the region.
Surovikin also added that Russian troops are successfully resisting enemy attacks along the entire line of contact. All attempts to attack the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansky and Krasnolimansky directions have been thwarted. In the Donetsk direction, Russian units have completed the defeat of the enemy on the right bank of the Bakhmutka River, and in the South-Donetsk direction, the liberation of the settlement of Pavlovka is being completed.
Surovikin stressed that the combat capabilities of the united group had grown significantly, due to the mobilized it was possible to increase its composition and create reserves. The Ukrainian side suffers high losses in manpower and equipment.
Only in the Kherson direction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from August to October lost:
— more than 9.5 thousand killed and wounded;
— more than 200 tanks;
— 500 armoured vehicles;
— about 600 vehicles for various purposes;
— more than 50 artillery pieces and mortars.
The losses of Russian troops in this direction are seven to eight times less than those of the enemy.

Russia left Kherson. Not really
Irina Alksnis for RIA Novosti
The decision to withdraw Russian troops to the left bank of the Dnieper was largely expected. For several weeks, evacuation activities were openly under way, with officials directly talking about the likelihood of difficult decisions. In general, everyone understood that such a development of events was not excluded, although they hoped for the best. However, because it was expected, it did not become less difficult.
However, this time the severity is still different - not the one that repeatedly piled on us this year, when, on the one hand, something bad and tragic happened, and on the other, many felt lost in the whirlwind of events, in misunderstanding what is happening in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular.
If the former heaviness at times covered with dull hopelessness, now it is the weight of a conscious burden that we have taken upon ourselves. And which we carry to the end.
In the coming hours and days there will be many detailed analyzes of the military component of the decision. However, I will take the liberty of asserting that political considerations are the main ones at the heart of the given order.

The bottom line is that - strange as it may sound - Russia can afford to withdraw from the right bank of the Dnieper. She can afford to retreat.
When Shoigu, Surovikin or Putin himself say that saving the lives of our servicemen is the most important priority in the conduct of military defence, they are not disingenuous, hypocritical or lying. They speak the pure truth.
But apart from considerations of humanity, this approach has absolutely pragmatic reasons, because Russia will need its soldiers for a long time to come.
In the nine and a half months that have passed since February 24, it has become quite clear that what we call a special military operation is in fact a war of the collective West against our country. And in this war, Ukraine voluntarily chose to become a battlefield and at the same time a supplier of proxy troops for the US and its allies.

When describing the ongoing military operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, one can often hear the wording "zerg rush". An explanation for those who are not in the know: this is from computer game slang, it means military tactics, when cheap, weak combat units rush into battle, but in such a huge amount that they simply crush much more advanced opponents in bulk. That is, "they threw corpses" in the literal sense of the word.
And in the performance of Ukraine, we observe exactly this approach. The loss ratio of one to seven to eight (and in places to nine to ten) voiced by Surovikin and our other military leaders is not an exaggeration. In recent days, several photographs have appeared at once from different places in Ukraine with local cemeteries, on which there are many fresh graves with buried Ukrainian servicemen. Villages and other small settlements lose tens and hundreds of their men, and in larger cities, the number goes to thousands of dead.
But the worst thing is that they are fine. It is normal to die for the billion-dollar fortunes of the Kyiv leaders, which they amass in a matter of months of hostilities. It is normal to be expendable for the West, which has been playing the Great Game with Russia for many centuries, as a result of which we will again (which is already once in history) finally come together at the negotiating table. And the Ukrainians, in huge numbers who died for them, Western leaders, of course, will not remember - except that they will smile with satisfaction about how successfully they managed to play the Ukrainian card against Russia.

All this is clear to us already now: both about the scale of the ongoing confrontation, and about our true opponents, and about the Ukraine they use in a hybrid way.
Therefore, despite the severity of the decision on Kherson, the strategic benefits of this decision clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
Since you have to grind the enemy’s manpower, it’s worth doing it with the maximum savings of your own soldiers and civilians. And then there are the prospects for the destruction of Kherson in the most difficult urban battles and the risk of undermining the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station with flooding of vast territories and further environmental disaster.
At the same time, it is already obvious that the main "military operations" are taking place not at all on the battlefields, but in the economy, energy, social sphere, and international cooperation. Whoever breaks first, loses. And this year, for the first time in many decades, the West has lost confidence in its invulnerability.

To the bitter reproaches that Russia has left its city ("after all, Kherson is a Russian city?"), one can firmly answer that yes, Kherson is a Russian city. Like Odessa, the Russian South Palmyra, and Nikolaev, the city of Russian shipbuilders. Wherever you poke on the map, you will find yourself in a place to which you can confidently add "Russian".
It is not the first time for Russia to leave, including from very significant and iconic places. Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov could tell a lot about the strategic retreat.
But Russia always comes back for its own.

Russian troops resumed the offensive in several directions
Surovikin: Russian troops resumed offensive near Artemovsk and Pavlovka

COMMAND POST OF THE JOINT GROUP OF RUSSIAN TROOPS, November 9 - RIA Novosti. The situation in the area of ​​the special operation has generally stabilized, Russian troops have resumed their offensive in several directions, General of the Army Sergei Surovikin said in a report to Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
He stressed that the combat capabilities of the united group have increased significantly, due to the mobilized it was possible to increase its composition and create reserves. Russian troops manage to hold back enemy attacks, in several directions they managed to resume their own offensive.
"The active actions of formations and units of the Joint Group of Forces and Forces thwarted all attempts at offensive operations of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Kupyansky and Krasnolimansky directions. In addition, offensive actions were resumed in certain directions," Surovikin specified.

The general reported that in the Donetsk direction, Russian units had completed the defeat of the enemy on the right bank of the Bakhmutka River, and active operations were underway to block Artemovsk from the south. Fighting is also taking place on the eastern outskirts of the city.

In addition, Russian troops advanced towards Maryinka and Pervomaisky, and in the South-Donetsk direction they are completing the liberation of the Pavlovka settlement. In particular, in the area of ​​the Vremevsky Ledge, it was possible to push the enemy back and occupy the dominant heights in the depths of his defence.
In the direction of Kherson, Ukrainian troops lost more than 9.5 thousand people killed and wounded during their offensive attempts from August to October. About 200 tanks, 500 armored fighting vehicles, about 600 vehicles and more than 50 artillery pieces and mortars were also destroyed. The general noted that despite the high losses in manpower and equipment, the Ukrainian troops do not abandon offensive attempts, but all of them are stopped in a timely manner.
In turn, the losses of the Russian Armed Forces are seven to eight times less than those of the enemy, Surovikin emphasized. To save the lives of the military and the combat readiness of the group of troops, the general proposed organizing defence in the Kherson region on the left bank of the Dnieper, the Minister of Defence agreed with him.

Stoltenberg admitted that NATO does not have complete unity in support of Ukraine
Secretary General Stoltenberg admitted that NATO does not have complete unity in the issue of supporting Ukraine

BRUSSELS, November 9 - RIA Novosti. The vast majority of NATO countries intend to continue supporting Kyiv, although there are "some voices" who have a different opinion on this matter, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during a visit to the UK.
So he answered the question of whether the West is afraid of "fatigue" from Ukraine.
“Of course, there are always some voices that have a different opinion, this is a normal situation in democratic societies, but the vast majority sends a clear signal that we will continue to support Ukraine,” he said.
Stoltenberg recalled that "NATO allies and partners provide unprecedented support to Ukraine." According to him, the alliance will continue to do so "for as long as it takes."
Against the backdrop of a special operation to liberate Donbass, Western countries continue to pump weapons into Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that these supplies only prolong the conflict, and the transport of weapons becomes a legitimate target for the Russian military. As Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized, Western actions will only have a negative effect.

Translated from Kadyrov:

I fully agree with Mr. Prigozhin's opinion on Surovikin's decision. Yevgeny Viktorovich very accurately noted that Surovikin saved a thousand soldiers who were in actual encirclement.
After weighing all the pros and cons, General Surovikin made a difficult but right choice between senseless sacrifices for the sake of loud statements and saving the priceless lives of soldiers.

Continuation from above ⬆️⬆️⬆️
Kherson is a very difficult area without the possibility of a stable regular supply of ammunition and the formation of a strong, reliable rear. Why was this not done from the first days of the special operation? This is another question. But in this difficult situation, the general acted wisely and far-sightedly — he evacuated the civilian population and ordered a regrouping.

So there is no need to talk about the "surrender" of Kherson. "Surrender" together with the fighters. And Surovikin protects the soldier and takes a more advantageous strategic position — convenient, safe.
Everyone knew from the very first days of the special operation that Kherson was a difficult combat territory. The soldiers of my units also reported that it was very difficult to fight in this area. Yes, it can be kept, it is possible to organize at least some supply of ammunition, but the cost will be numerous human lives. And this forecast does not suit us.
Therefore, I believe that Surovikin acted like a real military general, not afraid of criticism.
He is responsible for the people. He sees better.

Thank you, Sergey Vladimirovich, for taking care of the guys! We will carry out the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, we will not stop hitting the enemy and we will not get tired.

DEFENSE“Starlink” for Ukraine is nearly over due to a lack of funding
Modern Diplomacy
Ukraine’s fears that its troops  may lose access to Elon Musk’s crucial Starlink internet service deepened after 1,300 of the military’s satellite units went offline, according to two sources familiar with the outage.

The small, easy-to-use satellite dishes made by Musk’s private rocket company SpaceX have been universally hailed as a game-changing source of communication for Ukraine’s military, allowing it to fight and stay online even as cellular phone and internet networks have been destroyed in its war with Russia. 

But concerns have risen recently over the dependability of SpaceX after discussions about funding were revealed and outages were reported near the frontlines. 

CNN reported that SpaceX sent a letter in September to the Pentagon claiming it had spent almost $100 million funding Starlink in Ukraine and that it could no longer continue to do so. The letter requested that the Defense Department  take over more of the funding  for Ukraine’s military, which it calculated would run tens of millions of dollars a month. 

Neither Musk nor SpaceX responded to a request for comment. The Ukrainian government, including the Ministry of Defense, did not respond.

The recent outage started on October 24 and was described by one person briefed on the situation as a “huge problem” for Ukraine’s military. The terminals had been disconnected, this person said, due to a lack of funding.

The outage affected a block of 1,300 terminals that Ukraine purchased from a British company in March and were used for combat-related operations. 

SpaceX was charging Ukraine’s military $2,500 a month to keep each of the 1,300 units connected, pushing the total cost to almost $20 million by September, the person briefed on the matter said. Eventually, they could no longer afford to pay, the person said.

Before the terminals went completely dark, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense made a request in early October to their British counterparts to pick up the $3.25 million monthly bill.

A British official said after discussions between the ministries “it was agreed there were higher priority military capabilities.” 

“We support a number of terminals that have a direct tactical utility for Ukraine’s military in repelling Russia’s invasion,” the British official told CNN. 

The September letter from SpaceX to the Pentagon said there were almost 20,000 Starlink terminals in Ukraine. At that time, by SpaceX’s own admission, the majority of them were fully or partially purchased with outside funding, including from the US, Polish and UK governments. The letter claimed those sources paid for about 30% of the monthly connectivity bill as well.

Earlier this month, Musk said that of the more than 25,000 terminals now in Ukraine, fewer than 11,000 were paying for the service, which can run as high as $4,500 per month.

“We continue to discuss Ukraine’s satellite communication needs with Ukraine and companies like SpaceX and others,” Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told reporters.

Whether greater cooperation with SpaceX would give the US government stronger control over the Starlink signal in Ukraine has not been answered.

Source: Communications systems to be improved by exploring NATO intelligence capabilities
The secrecy of Russian communication systems will be increased based on the experience of their use in Ukraine

MOSCOW, November 10 - RIA Novosti. The secrecy of Russian communication systems will be enhanced by the experience of their use in Ukraine, where NATO intelligence helps the Ukrainian troops, revealing all its capabilities, an informed source told RIA Novosti.
"The NATO bloc provides support to the Ukrainian armed forces with various reconnaissance means, the radio-technical systems of which are capable of effectively detecting sources of electromagnetic radiation. In this regard, work is currently underway to increase the secrecy of Russian army communications systems," the agency's interlocutor said.

He added that "the North Atlantic bloc, within the framework of the NMD, has actually revealed all its reconnaissance capabilities, which will be taken into account by Russian developers when modernizing and creating new models of equipment."
The degree of secrecy of communication systems demonstrates how difficult it is for the enemy to detect the operation of the complex, determine its type and location, and also reveal the content of the transmitted information.
According to open data, the Russian military uses a wide range of communication systems of various ranges in Ukraine. In particular, Ruselectronics enterprises in recent years have supplied more than 300 over-the-horizon communication stations with a range of up to 200 kilometres to the Russian troops.
