More Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine's offensive across the Dnipro has Russia panicking [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-11-20 There are various reports that Russia is in full panic mode on the left bank of the Dnipro River across from Kherson and is bugging out. Reports say that Ukraine has effectively cut the only road that Russia can use to supply the Kinburn Spit, presumably through fire control. Hopefully this is true. But whether it’s true, partially true, exaggerated, disinformation or whatever … we’ll see. x Interesting 😈 russian invaders on the left bank of #DniproRiver in #Kherson region are realy in panic 🤪 “We have lost logistics between the #KinburnSpit, #Oleshky and #NovaKakhovka,” Kolobok Rogov on Russian TV 🤓 he saying out loud what everyone knows at the front. 👀 pic.twitter.com/5zxsXnrYE7 — Ukraine News 🇺🇦 (@Ukrainene) November 14, 2023 x ‼️ Russians have advised the occupying civil authorities to evacuate Oleshky on the left bank The situation seems to deteriorate faster than anticipated by the Russians and the 'Kyiv in 3 days' crowd among reports of Ukrainian commandos operating behind the E97 pic.twitter.com/5VqjC51VWT — PStyleOne1 (@PStyle0ne1) November 20, 2023 Of course, maybe they are just “regrouping without a fight.” x There are reports this morning that Russian forces and local administrative authorities are "regrouping without a fight" (relocate to more advantageous positions) in the areas of #Krynky and #Oleshky.

It is reported #Russians and collaborators have gathered documentation and are moving from #Oleshky to #VelykiKopani #ukrainecounteroffensive pic.twitter.com/uBSuXqU4kj — Еспресо Global (@Espresotveng) November 20, 2023 Translation of the tweet below: The occupying power is indeed fleeing Oleshok, but they do not plan to surrender the city. A marine soldier spoke about this in more detail and indicated the reasons:They are fleeing because Oleshki is under constant surveillance and fire. He flew calmly over Oleshka and pointed the art at the house with the Russians. FPV fully control all entrances. After the start of the curfew, any car on the approaches to Oleshok will be neutralized.I think they're just "not calm" there, but the soldier doesn't feel sorry for them, let's throw them to the last one. I don't think they will come out, because they keep everyone (sic) meter now, and do not regret anything.Therefore, you should not rejoice too soon, the departure of the administration does not mean that we will go there tomorrow, but it indicates that, indeed, they may not leave at all, because we are already controlling all the entrances. x Окупаційна влада дійсно тікає з Олешок, але здавати місто вони не планують. 🇺🇦Більш детально про це висловився боєць морської піхоти, вказав на причини: Тікають через те що Олешки під постійним наглядом і вогнем. Спокійно літав над Олешками і наводив арту на хату з руснею. ⬇️ — Serg (@NHunter007) November 20, 2023 Taken out by a $100 grenade dropped from a $1,000 drone. I’m guessing on the prices. And $200 million is likely exaggerated, but even if it’s only a third that cost, it’s embarrassing. x Russian electronic warfare station "Borisoglebsk-2" worth about $200 million was destroyed.

But it could also be as Dmitri suggests. x This is a Russian psy-op video unless you give me a strong evidence that it is not. https://t.co/bPLQUGRfgP — Dmitri (@wartranslated) November 20, 2023 They should have kept the cow. "From the very beginning, Stanislav's mother tried to talk him out of joining the war, but he responded by asking, 'Mom, who else but me?' His father, a sergeant in the reserve, was proud of his son. In September 2022, his parents sold their last cow for 32,000 rubles ($346) to buy thermal underwear, a sleeping bag, and boots for their son. Four months later, they charged three times that amount from their credit card to pay the lawyer who defended their son in court. They will also bury their son themselves - "for now everything is at our own expense, except for the airplane, but then we don't know." x The incredible military career of Russian officer Stanislav Rybin: His family sold their last cow to buy him boots.

Any Russian advance is achieved with "considerable effort", i.e. losses.https://t.co/2eko5tXZjv pic.twitter.com/gACfj1dd9b — Dmitri (@wartranslated) November 20, 2023 Judging by what is happening, the enemy managed to transfer part of its reserves to the threatened sections of the Avdeevska direction near Donetsk. Attempts at counterattack actions were recorded in almost all areas of the direction where the Russian Armed Forces had previously had success. The sodomites are especially persistent on the southern face and near the waste heap. It is too early to talk about anything more, but even now it is clear that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have no obvious successes, and the tactics of action in small groups do not bring results. Our reconnaissance finds the enemy's advance and the assault groups are covered with artillery and mortar fire. Earlier, ours advanced towards the coke plant, overcoming another hundred meters in the face of enemy fire. Also, shock assault groups advanced from the right side of the village Stepovoe on the northern façade. We managed to knock out the enemy from two treelines. And here the progress amounted to several hundreds of meters, but was achieved with considerable efforts.
