Russian Soldier Reveals Horrific Losses Near Ivanivka
“More than a thousand were killed there."
“Ukrainians don't let them anywhere near them and shoot at everyone.
“their tank drives up blindly and starts f**king everyone,"
“we can't even take Ivanovka! They still mention capturing Novoselovka or even Kupyansk, they must be kidding!”
20 men attack “two or three come back.”
“The guys who tried to capture these Ukrainian dugouts died there. Ukranian tank buried them there.
“It hit the dugout and started spinning on it, what kind of dugout will withstand it, there are more than 70 tons!”
"Yesterday Sam flew the plane and said that just 8 people were sitting in the trench, just 8 Ukrainains, f*ck! And our men go there by the hundreds, and they are not even capable of taking a f**king thing!"
"Snipers and machine gunners are sitting there, and that's it! There is absolutely no one else there! There is a pillbox, it turns 180 degrees and everything that can be mowed down."
🕯 Nationwide minute of silence .
32-year-old fighter of the International Legion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ian Frank Tortorici from the USA died on June 27, 2023 during a Russian missile attack on the center of Kramatorsk. The epicenter of the explosion was a catering establishment, residential buildings and other premises. This shelling claimed the lives of 13 people.
Ian Frank Tortorici is from Lake Forest, California. He was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He fought for 15 months as part of the "50/50" military group in Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and other areas.
"Ian has lived a busy life. He traveled to Europe several times with only a rucksack and a sleeping bag. His family found out about his whereabouts by chance through photos from different countries. He lived a simple, adventurous lifestyle, worked full-time and paid for his own education at college, had very little debt, Ian dreamed of living on a quiet farm anywhere in the world.
He didn't care about luxuries or money. Ian lived impressions and adventures. He was wounded only once, he was contused, but after recovery he continued to fight. He was a brave, authoritative warrior. On the day of the tragedy, he was off duty. Went to a pizzeria in Kramatorsk to eat. Died on the spot. He will always be remembered and respected as a hero," Ed Flores, a friend of the deceased, said.
The deceased soldier is survived by his girlfriend, relatives in the USA and friends in Ukraine.
In occupied Volnovakha, 9 bodies of adults and children were found in a house. The suspects are the military of the Russian Federation.
Russian "law enforcement agencies" claim that they found the bodies of people with gunshot wounds in a private house.
"The murder was committed by a serviceman of the Russian Armed Forces. He did not share something with Natasha's husband. The management immediately arrived and began to hide everything, the neighbors were told to keep quiet," — said an acquaintance of the murdered family.
Relatives of the victims reported that the family was killed on Friday, October 27, on the birthday of one of the relatives.
In addition to the family of four (husband Andriy and wife Natalia, as well as their children — Nastya and Mykyta), five more people who were in the house died. Journalist Denys Kazanskyi writes that the day before, one of the men, Andriy Kapkanets, quarreled with the Russian military, who tried to "extort" his house. They decided to take revenge — they came during the celebration and killed everyone.
Russia steps up attacks on Ukraine while the world doesn't see it, — The Times
The British edition of The Times published an article in which it is noted that "it has been a good three weeks for President Putin in Ukraine."
"These are difficult weeks for Kyiv. As the former British soldier fighting for Ukraine, Mazer Gifford, noted on social networks, these are "dark and difficult" times," the article says.
The author of the article believes that "the Kremlin hopes to take the initiative back into its hands before the onset of winter."
"With American weapons and Western attention suddenly turned to the Middle East, Russia threw more men and equipment into a fierce offensive in northeastern Donbas, in the direction of Kupiansk, in southeastern Donbas, in Avdiivka and Zaporizhzhia, to the north from Tokmak to stop the advance of Ukrainian troops to the south," he writes.

People continue to live in Avdiivka. There were about 1,000 people there as of October 23.
The video of one of the houses in Avdiivka was shot by the Liberovs, military photographers.
Russians keep trying to surround Avdiivka and are actively using air power, but our soldiers are holding the line and have repelled more than 20 attacks.
Russians lost more equipment there than during the attack on Vuhledar.
This will significantly reduce their offensive potential.
Goodnight to all except Hamas and Russia
