During training, military railwaymen of the Central Military District improve their skills in using the standard weapons of an armored train, and also practice actions to cover strategically important railway junctions and stations in the Northern Military District zone.

18:45 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Kherson direction: local attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Krynki,
the situation as of 18.00 November 23, 2023

After a slight improvement in the weather, Ukrainian marines intensified their attacks in the forest area adjacent to Krynki. The positions of the Ukrainian Navy marines in the village itself are already quite strong, so the enemy concentrated its efforts on expanding the bridgehead.

As a result of several days of activity of the assault groups of the Katran strike group, they were able to advance a little to the south in the forest. The main goal is to gain a foothold under the cover of vegetation and continue moving deeper.

Ten Marines were deployed to one of the positions last night along with a Bumblebee flamethrower to carry out an assault on Russian positions.

At the same time, in private houses near the landings, a stronghold of the combined formations of the 35th, 36th, 38th Marine Brigades was equipped. Ammunition was delivered there, as well as the Carl Gustav RPG.

At night, Russian artillerymen carried out targeted shelling of the crossing areas on Frolov Island, as a result of which five marines were wounded and killed. Four more were injured during the evacuation.

Similarly, Russian troops shelled the vicinity of the large and small railway bridges on Aleshkinsky Island, disrupting the rotation of forward units.

So far, the enemy has not been able to achieve a significant result in the sector. However, the intensity of attacks and attempts to enter the forest area has increased. If previously the Marines were only “probing” the defense, now they are trying to penetrate 200-300 meters deep, which, as the soil hardens, can lead to larger-scale attacks at Krynki.

18:10 Repair specialists from the Vostok group of forces have halved the time required for restoration and repair of damaged weapons and military equipment

Military personnel successfully carry out tasks to restore damaged weapons, armored and automotive vehicles in the South Donetsk direction.

Repair factories equipped with all necessary equipment have been deployed in the field. The availability of the necessary spare parts and assemblies, as well as the professionalism of the specialists of the logistics departments, make it possible to restore equipment almost twice as fast as established standards.

Immediately after repairs, intensive “break-in” and mandatory testing of the combat effectiveness of weapons, all equipment is returned to the front line - to the units of the Vostok group of troops -video report.

13:50 Journey into reality. Avdeevka.

The northern flank also looks like this, not only the factory floors and waste heaps, but also the landings knocked out to zero, which also need to be overcome after the enemy has been destroyed.

Even the most competent assault still remains an assault and is impossible without losses, unfortunately.
The phrases “the forest belt has been cleared” or “the enemy has been knocked out of the building” seem quite insignificant and frivolous on paper, but in reality this is not the case.

Even when the artillery and aviation smash everything into dust, mix the enemy’s regiments with the ground, something still remains, the infantry still has to finish the job and stick the flagpole on the taken line.

If anyone wants to ask “why is it taking so long?”, check out similarvideo, the desire to rush will disappear, we guarantee.
