[Korrespondent] 23:13 American Abrams tanks could not play a big role on the battlefield because Ukraine received too few of them, Zelensky said at a meeting with representatives of African media: “Fortunately or unfortunately, we have a lot of different tanks. Abrams is no exception. This is a high-quality tank. We don’t have very many of them, I’ll tell you honestly. Abrams is the first example of such a tank. I hope that we will develop our relationship and there will be more supplies. But for now, to say that they play a vital role on the battlefield, It’s difficult for me. Their number is very small.”

I’ll tell you frankly: without support it will be very difficult. Because all the money that Ukraine earns , we give everything to our military. If you don’t help us with social support, it will be very difficult without this. It will be necessary to either reduce support for the military, payments to them, or not provide social assistance. That is, in any case, it will be a crisis. Will it have an impact? on the course of the war? Yes. Will he stop our fight? No."

Over the past 24 hours Representative office reported about 60 facts of firing from the AFU.
Information was received about the death of a civilian, a man, in the Central City district of Gorlovka.
Four civilians were injured of varying degrees of severity in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk, Nikitovsky and Tsentralno-Gorodsky districts of Gorlovka.
Four residential buildings in the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka, as well as two civil infrastructure facilities, were damaged.
Areas of five settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky, Central City districts), Golmovsky, Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Kievsky, Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts), Makeevka (Chervonogvardeysky district).

This evening the enemy attempted to storm our positions in the waste heap area southwest of the Major concrete plant.
It was not successful, the offensive stalled, and the enemy was forced to retreat. Taking advantage of the Ukrainian's confusion, our forces launched a counterattack and knocked the enemy out of the positions at the waste heap that he had occupied earlier.
At the moment, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are hysterically throwing “cassettes” at our positions.
This is not the last attempt, we are sure that in the very near future the enemy will make new attacks.
18:45 NGP exploration reports on the situation in the Avdeevsky direction.
The tense situation remains on the northern flank; north of Krasnogorovka, in the area of the railway, the enemy has transferred reserves and is desperately clinging to positions; a new one is taking the place of the knocked out platoon.
The enemy is using artillery with cluster ammunition and FPV drones, Bradleys are working, trying to suppress our infantry with heavy fire.
The RF Armed Forces are consolidating positions to the north along the railway, but in order to avoid unjustified losses, they are in no hurry to occupy some well-under fire areas; we consider this the most correct approach, the enemy’s positions will not escape anywhere, and personnel are the most valuable resource in the country.
Our artillery and FPV drones are also actively working; after destroying a large number of enemy personnel, it will be much easier to take positions.
In the Stepovoy area, the situation is the same - the settlement is in the gray zone, the enemy has retreated to the forest belts behind Stepovoy, and our weapons are working on them.
The brothers work regardless of the time of day, weather, and other variables.

In the Ivanovka area, Russian units took another stronghold on the approaches to the populated area. After artillery preparation, the assault units of the Russian Armed Forces cleared the trenches, taking the surviving members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine prisoner.

And on the eastern flank of the Ukrainian bridgehead, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to put pressure on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces northwest of Verbovoy and towards Novofedorovka. The warring parties are currently unable to reverse the situation. The weather and the mutual transfer of forces and assets from this area to other directions have an effect.
On the Donetsk front - assault actions of the Russian Armed Forces in Marinka, near Pervomaisky, Severny (a settlement west of Avdeevka), on the southern, eastern and northern approaches to the Ukrainian fortified area, as well as pressure on Stepnoye (not to be confused with the points of the same name in Zaporozhye and Ugledarsky directions).
Everywhere in Ukrainian positions, long-range weapons of the Russian Armed Forces are working closely. LBS has not changed significantly. The Ukrainian Armed Forces respond with fire at Russian troops in Aleksandrovka, Staromikhailovka, Vodyanoye, Opytnoye and the village of Krasnogorovka.
In the Bakhmut direction, the Russian Armed Forces counterattacked at Kleshcheevka and in the direction of Bogdanovka. In the last of the listed settlements, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are seriously affected. This trend has been continuing for several weeks.

[Regnum] Over the past week, the capital has seen a surge in sexual crimes committed against minors by migrant workers from the former Soviet republics. Criminal cases have been initiated against five of them, another one is still at the pre-investigation stage, a source told IA Regnum .
One of the criminal cases was initiated after the publication in the Telegram channel of data about an incident with a taxi driver who committed lewd acts in front of a passenger with a child. As it turned out, the taxi driver, a man who had recently arrived from Kyrgyzstan, may have, among other things, forged documents about entry into Russian territory. At the moment, the prosecutor's office has canceled the initiation of a criminal case, but this decision is at the stage of appeal to higher authorities.
Another similar incident occurred in the Spektr shopping center on Novoyasenevsky Prospekt. Here, schoolgirls aged 13 and 14 became victims of an exhibitionist migrant from Uzbekistan.
Another incident involving a migrant from Uzbekistan was registered on November 4. On Karamyshevskaya embankment, a man attacked a schoolgirl and began to grope her. Fortunately, the girl managed to break free and run away.
Two attacks on schoolgirls were recorded in the TiNAO. Citizens of Tajikistan and Azerbaijan were detained for sexual crimes. In the first case, the victim was a 15-year-old schoolgirl, in the second, a 12-year-old girl.
Another criminal case has been opened against a Kyrgyz citizen who repeatedly raped his daughter in Moscow.
On November 2, it was reported that the Nagatinsky District Court of Moscow sentenced 64-year-old children's music producer Alexander Razumovsky, who had been corrupting children for 11 years, to 13 years in prison. He will serve his sentence in a maximum security colony.
AKA as Igor Girkin
[Regnum] The preliminary investigation into the case of former DPR Defense Minister Igor Strelkov (Girkin) has been completed, and his defense has already become familiar with the materials. The lawyer of the accused, Alexander Molokhov, told reporters about this.
“The preliminary investigation into the case of my client Girkin has been completed, he and I have already familiarized ourselves with his materials. Now the case has been transferred to the prosecutor’s office for approval of the indictment,” the lawyer said in an interview with TASS .
The lawyer noted that the prosecutor's office is given 10 days to decide whether to approve the case. Molokhov admitted that the procedure may take a shorter time. After the case is approved by the prosecutor's office, the investigation materials will go to the court, which will consider them.
Igor Strelkov was detained on July 21, 2023. Since that time he has been under arrest in a pre-trial detention center. In September, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow extended Strelkov’s arrest until December 18.

From May 12 to August 14, 2014, he commanded the DPR Armed Forces. On May 16, 2014, Strelkov was appointed Minister of Defense of this republic. In August of the same year he was dismissed. After this, Strelkov left Donbass.

[ColonelCassad] Footage of fierce battles for Stepovoye.
Around the village you can see a significant amount of destroyed equipment, including another Leopard 2A5 + several Bradleys. Our infantry is already in Stepovoy, but the enemy is actively counterattacking, trying to knock out our attack aircraft. Fierce fighting is taking place. The capture of Stepovoy will create serious problems for the enemy in the Avdeevsky direction. The enemy understands this very well, hence the intensity of the battles for Stepovoye.
