Key Takeaways:
The Russian military command will likely struggle to redeploy combat effective reinforcements to respond to ongoing Ukrainian operations in eastern Kherson Oblast while conducting defensive operations in western Zaporizhia Oblast and sustaining other offensive efforts in eastern Ukraine.
Russian forces have likely launched opportunistic localized offensive operations in the Bakhmut direction and intensified ground attacks near Bakhmut in recent days.
Russian forces struck a civilian ship near Odesa City on November 8.
Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin's annual live "Direct Line" forum and annual press conference will occur in tandem on an unspecified date by the end of the year, potentially to set conditions to cancel the events as the Kremlin sees fit.
Russia may seek to provide gas to Iran through Kazakhstan.
Unspecified actors appear to be targeting Chechen Republic Head Ramzan Kadyrov as he continues to heap honors on his children.
Russian forces continued offensive operations along the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, near Bakhmut, in the Avdiivka direction, west and southwest of Donetsk City, in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area, and in western Zaporizhia Oblast and advanced near Kupyansk.
Russian authorities appear to be increasingly reliant on private security companies to protect domestic energy infrastructure from Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian far rear areas.
Occupation authorities reportedly continued efforts to militarize Ukrainian youth.

White House national security spokesperson John Kirby on Wednesday told reporters that the United States has gone through 96 percent of its funds allocated for Ukraine.
"Of the total funds that have been provided to Ukraine since the beginning of the war, which is an excess of $60 billion—and that's not just security assistance; that's economic, financial and humanitarian assistance—we've gone through about 96 percent of what's left," Kirby said during a press conference.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE
10 November 2023
On 8 November 2023, a civilian Liberian flagged cargo ship, likely the Kmax Ruler, was struck by a Russian anti-radar missile at Pivdennyi port, Odesa, Ukraine. Ukrainian officials stated that this was likely a KH-31 (AS-17 KRYPTON) air launched missile.
A harbour pilot was killed, and three crew members and a port worker injured. Ukraine's Infrastructure Minister said the ship was loading freight iron ore destined for Russia's strategic ally, China.
The AS-17 was likely being used to target Ukrainian military radars in the area. It is a realistic possibility the air launched AS-17 missile in the absence of a live military radar signature, locked onto the civilian ship's radar. If so, this would demonstrate poor weapons employment tactics on behalf of the Russian pilot.

I couldn't care less. My hopes and dreams weren't to pay a dime in taxes to a country you couldn't pick out on a map.
So, you cheerleaded for 20% of a country taken by Russia where they will eventually take Crimea, hundreds of thousands of dead people, a failed counter offensive, and hundreds of billions of dollars spent?
And after all that chaos your only argument is to paint me as a Russian sympathizer? Yikes.
Sorry muh most important conflict of muh lifetime was a big fat lie and you gobbled up that state propaganda like you do dicks.
Everyone of you supporting this chaos around the world should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves.

This bit from the ISW report is important:
That's because it's obvious that Russian forces in the area are "insufficient to respond to the Ukrainian operations on the east bank of the Dnipro."
Russia should've freaked out a month ago, when the celebrated Ukrainian drone unit "Birds of Magyar" was relocated from the Zaporizhzhia frontline to the Kherson area. Magyar's guys (along with Ukrainian artillery on the other side of the river) have been raining death onto a number of Russian positions near the river, but the really interesting thing is that they seem to have received new, elite EW capabilities -- Magyar claims that they have downed over 300 Russian drones.
The upshot of this has been that Ukraine has been able to suppress Russian forces within 20 km of the Dnipro, while also preventing Russian eyes from targeting Ukrainian river crossings.
And Ukraine has now pushed a lot of equipment across and now has at least 500 men fighting on the left bank, and they are making gains.
Here's Rybar, a few hours ago:
I think that Ukraine now has a fairly firm beachhead across the Dnipro.

The Russian command will likely face significant challenges in redeploying units from other sectors of the front should relatively combat ineffective Russian formations and currently uncommitted Russian forces in the Kherson direction prove insufficient to respond to the Ukrainian operations on the east bank of the Dnipro. Redeployments of considerable elements of the 7th VDV Division or other VDV formations and units in western Zaporizhia Oblast would likely disrupt Russian defensive operations there. Russian forces reportedly continue to accumulate forces for sustaining the Russian offensive effort near Avdiivka and localized offensive operations in Kharkiv and Luhansk oblasts

Kherson direction: the AFU gained a foothold in the area near Krynky
On the left bank of the Dnieper, heavy fighting is ongoing in the village of Krynki. Assault detachments belonging to the Katran strike group of the Ukrainian Navy are launching an assault on the landings near the populated area.
Yesterday, Ukrainian forces managed to gain a partial foothold in the southern forest belt, securing several positions and setting up observation posts.
However, the Marines of the 35th Infantry Marine Corps of the AFU faced an organized ambush when they attempted to advance further into the forest. As a result, three assault detachments of the Ukrainian Navy, consisting of 11 personnel, surrendered.

Thus basically behind the fortifications. Depends on how many troops AFU can push across the river behind these existing defensive lines as to how entraped the Russian army in the south will be.

There are several implications:
1) Ukraine now has another axis upon which they can attack. Since blowing up the dam, Russia has had relatively few troops in South Kherson. Russia now has to spread its troops more thinly across the various fronts.
2) This may offer Ukraine an easier path to severing the "land bridge" and then attacking Crimea. The swampy terrain near the river doesn't really accommodate trenches, and it's not mined in any way that resembles the Zaporizhzhia front.
3) But Ukraine also needs to make progress here simply to protect the city of Kherson. Russia bombs Kherson daily. They hit hospitals, grandmothers' homes, and earlier this week they hit the art museum. And the world doesn't notice or care about Russia bombing and killing Ukrainian civilians -- apparently, only Gazan civilian deaths are a war crime. But if Ukraine can push Russian troops back some 25 km from the river, then grandmas and kids in Kherson will be able to sleep in peace in their beds at night.

The Russian Orthodox (FSB) is what was outlawed. But like Tucker the Stupid Phucker, she is just another clueless far leftist hack

What boring trash you sometimes post. Do better.
1) Independent media criticize Zelensky all the time.
2) There are several opposition parties. The only parties that were outlawed were the ones controlled by Putin.
3) The Ukrainian Orthodox Church wasn't outlawed, but the Russian Orthodox Church was, because it was spying for Russia (duh).
4) Martial law does not exist because of a Zelensky declaration. It exists because it has been voted on and extended nine times by Ukraine's democratically elected parliament. And that's happened because Ukraine is at war -- that's literally what martial law is for.
5) Besides the fact that martial law prevents elections under Ukraine's constitution, they are simply impossible right now. How would the millions of Ukrainian women in Poland, Romania, and Hungary vote? What about the Ukrainians living under Russian occupation? How would you set up a polling place in Avdiivka? The idea is just stupid.

Neither are stupid, they both know exactly what they are doing which is effectively lying for the purpose of shifting the opinion of the ignorant... enter in Sir Winston. If they were not being disingenuous they would break the whole situation down regarding martial law, the constitution and the fact that a large percentage of the population is either absent or in occupied territory.

I bet the majority of Ukraines wanted their country destroyed. But the war does sound convenient for Zelensky.

Again. Very convenient.

Exactly the problem. They can't.

Which ones? The pro Russians? The ones who are Russians? That speak Russian?

The fact you wave away Putin's control of the Russian Orthodox church is indicative of how little you know about the subject.

This is what I do know:
1) This was over when the Ukraine's counteroffensive failed. I told you this months ago.
2) This war was over when Hamas decided to go ape shite on Israel. This was a month ago and you guys started talking about a "stalemate"
3) I also told you that there will be no more funding. They have 6B left that they all of a sudden found in a couch cushion. A speaker of the house was just fired for funding this idiotic war. And the current one looks like he only wants to fund Israel. Money stops January 1. Right about the time of Winter. Yikes.
4) I also know that they are calling for peace talks. And I know that those WILL end on Russia's terms. They will keep the Donbas, they will keep Crimea and anything else they currently hold. But you will try to spin it as a stalemate.
5) and finally, I know that you lost. And that's what happens when you jump into bed with the government of the United States of America.
6) Zelensky will be dead in less than 2 years. The US will kill him unless his own people get to him first.
But all of that is the same thing I've been saying for over a year now.
Remember when the potato in the White House mentioned "the very last Ukrainian?" He meant it didn't he?
Good luck. Poor fricks.
