and Makiivka the enemy forces continue their assault on the positions of Ukrainian troops They have undertaken unsuccessful offensive efforts near the settlements of Orihovo-Vasylivka The Russians also launched a missile attack on the civilian infrastructure of Kostiantynivka the enemy launched an offensive in the areas of Nevelske and Vuhledar settlements – with no gains achieved and Prechistivka of Donetsk region came under Russian fire The enemy is in defense in the Zaporizhia and Kherson directions Russian artillery continues to shell the areas of settlements along the contact line These include Vremivka and Novopil of Donetsk region;

One of the rushists’ artillery strikes damaged the first unit of a pumping station of the Thermal and Underground Communications Workshop. Another 'arrival' led to the partial destruction of a fire station responsible for the safety of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. Also, as a result of enemy shelling, forests and grass caught fire in nearby areas, which caused significant smoke. Extinguishing fires caused by shelling is difficult due to the shelling of the fire station. At the same time, the occupiers are actively creating a "picture" for their own propaganda. For this purpose, two buses of extras were recently delivered to the plant, which should perform the role of "local residents and staff". Real local residents and staff refuse to participate in such productions. To the Enerhodar stele at the entrance to the town, the rushists drove a Pion self-propelled artillery mount with the letter 'Z' painted in white. A blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag was hoisted on the self-propelled guns. Obviously, it will be used for yet another provocation to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine. there were no major changes on the front on November 3rd The Russian offensive on Vuhledar has bogged down and there is fighting in the Pavlivka area of the Donetsk region Boris Rozhin, a military expert at the Russian propagandist “Center for political-military journalism,” claims that there are no significant changes in the Kherson direction as the AFU continues to mount attacks and scouting operations An anonymous analyst with the nickname Def Mon on Twitter has studied satellite images west of Kherson and concluded that Russia is building fortifications in the area as there are defensive positions in almost every forest belt Pervomaiske and Opytne in the Avdiivka direction Russia is trying to attack the AFU in the direction of Makiivka soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces “were held hostage” by weather conditions as dirt roads became impassable due to rainfall Video of Ukrainian Excalibur artillery strikes against Russian armored vehicles in the south have been published online It is claimed that the 2016 model T-72B3 and BMP-2 were destroyed Meanwhile, Russia’s Civic Council, made up of public figures from nine Russian regions, has begun recruiting volunteers into the ranks of the AFU The organization has announced the creation of the Technical Mobilization Center for Russians who want to volunteer for the Ukrainian army When asked by The Insider as to who made up the organization replied that it was currently impossible to name all the council’s participants – among them were prominent figures “who hadn’t yet guaranteed their own safety.” The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US-based think tank, had assessed that the AFU was going on the offensive in the direction of Svatove and Kreminna in the Luhansk region The institute’s experts also wrote that Russia's mobilization efforts are having a long-term devastating effect on the Russian economy We really need your help!
