The 265th day of the Russia-Ukraine War: official operational information by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 15.11.2022.
Russian troops are trying to keep the temporarily captured territories, are concentrating their efforts on restraining the actions of the Defence Forces of Ukraine in certain areas, and are continuing to equip defensive lines on the left bank of the Dnipro. At the same time, the Russian army is conducting offensive actions in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka directions.

As a result of fire damage in the area of Kreminna settlement of Luhansk oblast, Russian soldiers lost control of individual units. The personnel of these units plans to escape from their borders and retreat to the city.
And in the city of Kadiivka, in the Luhansk region, Russian troops go from house to house and carry out forced mobilization of the local population. In some areas of the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk oblast, there are cases of extortion of money for the possibility of avoiding mobilization. Thus, in the Starobilsky district, representatives of local so-called “force structures” offer to avoid “mobilization” for a monetary reward of up to 15 thousand dollars.

Also, 5 units of military equipment, a warehouse of ammunition were destroyed, and 35 Russian soldiers were wounded. In Melitopol, the Russian army lost more than 50 people wounded.
