Russia-Ukraine SITREP for 15 NOV 2023 20:00 PST - Getting Back Into the Swing of Things (Patreon)

Are you new to our Patreon? You need to click on the link to download the PDF attachment, which has links to all the videos referenced. To access the link, you may need to expand the entire article by clicking Show More because of a UI change made by Patreon, of which we have no control.

SITREP 536 is 36 pages and combat only.

Personal Note: Thank you to everyone for your patience. It is truly and deeply appreciated. Some decisions will be made between now and the United States Thanksgiving holiday.

• We will likely discontinue using Twitter. We are on Threads, Post, Bluesky, and SL8. The reason why is on our Twitter, and yes, the community note by Elon Musk has since been deleted - but - yikes.
• Expect a significant increase of activity on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram (finally) and hopefully - HOPEFULLY - a return to Wednesday lives.
• We will determine the new rhythm for full SITREPS for both Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, as the previous model is unsustainable.
• Full Russia-Ukraine SITREPS will move to one of three models. Five days a week with two summary reports. Five days a week with one summary report and a full day off. Six days a week with a full day off.  Seven days a week is unsustainable for everyone.
• Israel-Hamas SITREPS will likely be on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with summaries on Tuesday and Thursday. Politically and operationally, the news cycle is slowing down now, and this change makes the most sense.
• The podcast restarts on Friday. 
• As always, we will always break in with a flash report or a live for major news.

I really want to get back into doing interactive events and content, as this brings me the most personal satisfaction.

What's Happening

What's the big story? Ukrainian forces are expanding their bridgehead in Kherson with Operational Command South finally confirming the worst-kept secret Ukraine. There is a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnipro and Konka. But wait, there's more!

What's the second story? There's a new Ukrainian commander for special operation forces, and the previous commander is moving to the GUR for a special project. Yes, we're intrigued, too.

Summary

• No summary - I had a lot of intel to catch up for analysis as I did a good job of totally disconnecting for 9 of the 14 days I was on break.

Malcontent News Russia Ukraine War Podcast will restart on Friday.
