Frontline situation
Two key facilities in Russia were targeted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces overnight on November 13: a station where the Urals export oil blend is prepared and the Lipetsk-2 military airfield.
The Kremlin is pushing for a ceasefire in Kostiantynivka under the pretext of evacuating civilians. However, a pause in the fighting could help Russian forces prepare an offensive, according to ISW.
