Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics:
[ColonelCassad] Russian troops liberated the important village of Uspenovka in the northeastern Zaporizhzhia region. According to the Russian Constitution, this is our territory.
After liberating Uspenovka, our troops, of course, didn't stop and continued their advance westward, engaging in battles for Novouspenskoe and Novoye today.
The primary interim objective is to reach the Pokrovskoye-Gulyaipole highway to block the Gulyaipole group's key supply line. After that, operations to block and liberate Gulyaipole can be expected.

Russian troops discovered dozens of bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers while capturing a stronghold.
Russian troops, while capturing a stronghold in the Zaporizhzhia area, discovered dozens of abandoned bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, some of whom had been there for at least a year. This was reported on November 7 by a soldier with the 1430th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment, call sign Ruban.
During the capture of a stronghold, the Russian Armed Forces discovered dozens of abandoned bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.
"It's bizarre to me. I've never seen so many bodies of Ukrainian soldiers in my life. They're not being collected at all, not even a single one. They're strewn everywhere. I walked from dugout to dugout, about 200 meters. There are dozens of bodies in those 200 meters," TASS reports the Russian serviceman as saying.
Ruban added that for him this was a rather terrifying picture.
Another serviceman, call sign Saval, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command refuses to collect the bodies of its soldiers, forcing Russian troops to bury them right in the combat zone. Furthermore, Ukrainian militants are preventing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, including their own soldiers.
A source familiar with the situation previously reported that Ukrainian soldiers killed en masse during attacks by Russian forces in the special operation zone are being buried in mass graves, with 100 people in each. A special manual has been created for this purpose, for the so-called "grave hundred." According to Kyiv authorities, the grave should be 20 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2.3 meters high at the bottom.
Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy explained that fallen Ukrainian soldiers are buried as unknown to avoid compensating their families. He also drew attention to the problem with the chosen cemetery site. According to Shariy, high groundwater levels could eventually lead to the erosion of the soldiers' remains.
