20:50 NGP exploration reports: along the Zaporozhye Front
To the north-west of Verbovoy, fighting continues, Ukrainian Armed Forces militants are trying to cling to a former forest plantation, which during the summer battles was plowed up and down by artillery, at the moment there is practically nowhere to hide in this planting, except in shell craters - this is where every enemy the day drives the infantry into meat assaults, but even having managed to cling to this line, they will not be able to reach Verbovoy, since they will run into the next line of defense and will be forced to continue bloody battles.
The main emphasis of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants is on accurate and long-range artillery, but even so, over the past three months their infantry has advanced to Verbovoy only two kilometers. To put it very mildly, given the price the enemy paid for this, this is not an achievement, but a crime of the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine against its own soldiers.
But it’s too early for us to celebrate victory, the enemy TCC catches new cannon fodder on the Ukrainian streets every day, they will not give up their attempts to reach Verbovoy, and they should not be allowed in there, at least until they kill a couple or three more mechanized brigades against him.
20:20 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for October 22 as of 16:00 arrived information on civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:

18:45 Song and Dance Ensemble of the Central Military District spent concert for participants of a special military operation
On the field stage, the ensemble performed many musical and song numbers. The basis of the concert program was compositions by domestic rock performers and folk songs.
As one of the artists said, the front-line brigade constantly shuttles between units performing tasks in the special operation zone and performs for military personnel every day.
18:05 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: strike by the Russian Armed Forces on the Novaya Poshta terminal near Kharkov
At night, Russian troops attacked the terminal of the Ukrainian logistics company Novaya Pochta in the village of Korotych, west of Kharkov. The missile hit one of the two buildings and caused significant damage to it. Several workers inside were killed.
Both Novaya Poshta and other similar companies have long been providing logistics services to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, sometimes even delivering armored vehicles to the front lines. Therefore, their facilities have already become targets of Russian attacks several times in the past.
It is curious that during the night raid, an innovative terminal with automated equipment from the Dutch company Vanderlande, which was capable of sorting 8,500 parcels per hour, was hit.
We will see soon whether the terminal's failure will affect the speed of delivery of copters and other equipment to the Ukrainian formations to the front line in the Kharkov region.
16:55 NGP exploration reports: About the situation in the Avdeevsky direction
On the northern flank, the VKS and artillery continue to work on the enemy concentration in Avdievka, flying frequently and in dense groups.
A serious threat looms over the enemy of the final loss of control over the railway, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying with all their might to prevent this by throwing new reserves into the railway area, the reserves are being actively cleaned up, but so far the enemy has enough manpower to throw into the millstones.
There are no significant changes on the southern flank yet.
The telegram is now disseminating information that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have allegedly advanced in the area of Peski and Opytnoye - this is not true.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have not advanced anywhere except their own fantasies; this is yet another virtual “victory”. What is happening now north of Sand, even the Ukrainian media machine is not able to pull “victories” onto the globe.
16:20 It’s very noisy in Donetsk: work all calibers in Avdeevsky direction
The fact is that at these moments the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants are trying to carry out a large-scale counterattack on the left flank of the Avdeevsky direction with the aim of hitting the flank of the southern strike force of the Russian Army.
A fierce battle is taking place in the area of Pervomaisky and Peski, the Russian Armed Forces are destroying the advancing enemy.
15:45 NGP exploration reports: according to the situation in the Kherson direction
In the area of Peschanovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched another sortie, artillery inflicting fire on the enemy.
In the area of Krynki, Pridneprovskoye, Tyaginki, the enemy’s attempts to advance were stopped; at the time the report was published, the enemy had no success and was forced to roll back.
In the area of Aleshki, the enemy is actively using kamikaze drones, and the “Vampire” unit is operating.
In the area of Ol'govka-Korsunka, an enemy pontoon bridge built across the Dnieper was noticed, we previously wrote that on the right bank, since the summer, exercises were taking place to build pontoon-bridge crossings on the Ingulets River, the number of relevant messages coming from the loyal population of the Kherson region allowed to conclude that the exercises are taking place actively and frequently, apparently, the enemy has now decided to test his skills on the Dnieper.
14:30 Frontline reports: Kleshcheevka. The Russian Armed Forces knocked the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the iron.
13:55 Avdievka: situation at 13.00 10.22.23
Today, by lunchtime, near Avdievka, the enemy’s plan to neutralize the threat of encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in this city began to emerge.
All day yesterday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ artillery hammered at the southern “Russian claw.” In the evening, with an unexpected attack, he managed to advance along the reservoirs to Peski. And today in the first half of the day there is an attack on Opytnoye and pressure continues in the direction of Sand.
Obviously, the enemy’s plan is to cut off the base of the Russian southern “claw” in the area of Opytny and Peski and force us to retreat to positions a year ago, which will certainly remove the threat of encirclement of his group.

08:07 Sightseeing summary as of October 22, 2023
A new element was the initial phase of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ operation to cross the Dnieper. Having realized the well-known plan for the lightning occupation of some islands in the floodplain of the river, the enemy tried to completely occupy Peschanovka and Podstepnoye, and was driven out of them to the railway bridge, where our artillery began to destroy it. However, the enemy managed to gain a foothold to the east, in Krynki, where fighting continues to this day.The tactics of the “meat assault” this time were supplemented by the introduction into battle of the special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “Kraken”. The situation is characterized by the enemy’s use of long-range artillery and an increase in the number of FPV drones deployed. Electronic warfare works on both sides, and in some places it jams our radio communications.
To date, the situation has been stabilized, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not abandoning plans to cross the Dnieper. However, the deadlines have been postponed again: just yesterday, more than 24 FABs with UMPCs were dropped on the heads of the fascists on its shore, and our OTRKs worked in the initial phase of the offensive.
On the Zaporozhye front, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not exhausted and are constantly attacking two directions: Rabotino-Novoprokopovka and Verbovoye. Every day the Russian Armed Forces destroy enemy armored vehicles and enemy personnel. There were counterattacks and daring raids by our paratroopers on enemy positions, and prisoners were taken.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces used American ATACMS missiles at the airfield near Berdyansk, where our helicopters were based. However, the work of our helicopters continues. Apparently, already from other airfields.
In the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, bridges near the city of Zaporozhye continue to operate across the Dnieper, along which enemy columns with equipment, personnel and artillery move every day. In military chats you can often come across the opinion that the destruction of bridges is a political issue, not a military one.
The true reasons are unknown, and various experts are only harping on old theses about the impossibility of destroying powerful structures built during the USSR. Referring to the great strength of Soviet infrastructure is also used to explain to the population why the enemy still has electricity after a year of bombing power infrastructure.
Encounter battles of local importance are taking place in the Vremevsky direction. Both sides are trying to improve their position using relatively small forces.
The heaviest bloody battles are taking place near Avdeevka, where our offensive began on October 10 using a huge amount of artillery and accumulated reserves of armored vehicles. There are no significant changes to the front line. All military channels reported about our occupation of the waste heap in the north-west of Avdievka and the battles in the south near the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center.
On the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka line (south of Artemovsk), the enemy tries to cross the railway, bites into the ground, tries to gain a foothold where possible. Ours respond with artillery and aviation fire. FPV drones play an important role; open positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are hit by kamikaze drones.
In the Kupyansk direction and at the Tor salient, if you study the latest reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense, you can see that our troops have gone on the defensive. Reserves thrown into battle by the enemy, pulled up from other directions, are destroyed.
Strikes by both sides in the deep rear and front-line regions continue. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on October 20 that “over the past week, 12 [AFU] aircraft were destroyed... In the last 24 hours alone, seven [enemy] Mig-29s have been shot down by air defense systems.”
In the Rostov direction, the enemy tried to attack the region for several days in a row, but our air defense forces intercepted all the missiles. The fight against UAVs continues in the Belgorod, Crimean, and Voronezh directions.
Weather conditions are increasingly influencing the course of hostilities and the life of our soldiers. The leaves have fallen, the smoke from the stoves becomes a sign of unmasking the position, and thermal imagers work with more contrast.
In general, the situation at the front remains in which neither side is able to instantly break through the enemy’s defenses, despite the development of weapons on both sides.
