• Das britische Intel Update:

On 03 November 2022, Major General Alexander Linkov was reportedly appointed acting commander of Russia’s Central Military District. Linkov replaces Colonel General Alexander Lapin who was purportedly removed from office at the end of October 2022.
If confirmed, this follows a series of dismissals of senior Russian military commanders since the onset of the invasion in February 2022. The Commanders of the Eastern, Southern, and Western Military Districts were replaced earlier this year.
Lapin has been widely criticised for poor performance on the battlefield in Ukraine by both Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin.
These dismissals represent a pattern of blame against senior Russian military commanders for failures to achieve Russian objectives on the battlefield. This is in part likely an attempt to insulate and deflect blame from Russian senior leadership at home.

Operational update of General Staff of the UAF regarding the russian invasion as of 18:00, on November 6, 2022
The two-hundred-fifty-sixth (256) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues.
The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily captured territories, concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. Conducts offensive actions in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka directions.
The enemy is shelling units of the Defense Forces along the contact line, carrying out border fortification equipment in separate directions and conducting aerial reconnaissance.

During the current day, the enemy launched 3 missile and 3 air strikes, carried out more than 5 MLRS.
Areas of 7 settlements of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, Mykolaiv and Sumy regions suffered enemy attacks.
The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. The republic of belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine, accepts and hosts russian servicemen, and provides training grounds. There is still a threat of the enemy launching strikes and using attack UAVs from the territory and airspace of the republic of belarus.
The enemy shelled in such directions:
in the Siversky direction – from mortars and barrel artillery, in the areas of Vorozhba, Seredyna Buda and Bunyakyne settlements of the Sumy oblast;

In addition, the enemy continued to conduct aerial reconnaissance, actively using UAVs. Made more than 65 flies.
The russian occupying forces continue to grossly violate the laws and customs of warfare against the civilian population. In the Kherson region, private boats are being destroyed en masse on the banks of the Dnipro. Engines and other property from watercraft are appropriated by the occupiers. After the sinking of civilian ships, part of the fuel got into the river delta and directly threatens the ecosystem of the Nizhnyodniprovskyi National Nature Park.
Forced evacuation of the population from temporarily occupied territories continues. In the settlement of Beryslav, local residents were ordered to leave by November 10. The main reason given by the occupiers is the possible destruction by the Defense Forces of Ukraine of the Kakhovskaya HPP dam.
According to the updated information, the defeat of the enemy in the previous days in the Kherson region was confirmed. Thus, in the settlement of Kakhovka, an attack was made on a building where up to 200 enemy soldiers were stationed. The enemy carefully hides the consequences of the attack, strict administrative and police measures are being taken in the city. A large column of military equipment was destroyed in the area of the settlement of Radensk.
The losses of the enemy are specified.
During the current day, the aviation of the Defense Forces struck the enemy 18 times. 17 areas of concentration of personnel, weapons and military equipment, as well as the position of the occupiers‘ air defense equipment, were affected. Air defense units shot down 3 UAVs.
