🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Russia has already captured all types of Ukrainian drones and is studying them, - expert of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
➖"After Rubicon deployed a network of radar stations along the fronts and began shooting down our reconnaissance wings, they obtained ALL TYPES of our main UAVs as trophies.
▪️Of course, they studied all the electronics, communication systems inside our UAVs, and navigation systems at their Center. Of course, they know all our frequencies," said Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Like in Mad Max," — British Reuters commented on the entry of Russian troops into Pokrovsk under the cover of fog
▪️Russian troops in the style of the movie "Mad Max" are storming the city of Pokrovsk, writes the British media.
▪️The video captured Russian soldiers on motorcycles, as well as unusual cars and other vehicles.
▪️The capture of Pokrovsk will give Russia the opportunity to advance north towards the two largest cities still under Ukrainian control in the DPR — Kramatorsk and Slovyansk
Adapt to conditions on the ground and use resources effectively to win war of attrition. Would Reuters prefer heavy armour Zerg rushes like Ukraine's 2023 counter-offensive? Goal of this war is to win, there are no points for style.

"I was afraid that Romanian border guards would take us back" — Ukrainian blogger Max Rudada escaped from Ukraine by swimming across the Tisza River.
In a long video, he explained that border guards searched for him using drones, a helicopter, and even boats, and one of the guides turned out to be a scammer who gave the wrong direction.
"Explaining the situation. We understand that across the river is Ukraine! Ukraine. But we needed to go the other way. And they just led us the wrong way. We started walking along. There were some boats, drones, a helicopter. I don’t take out the camera because I understand that if they catch us, then all the footage, my conversations will be there. And it will be complete... And I was already at the TCK. It’s very scary to be there. Your life means nothing to them. Just another piece of meat."
"We survived. I can’t believe it, but we seem to be in Romania. We got out of that hell. Got out of the democratic 'f***'. For them, people are trash."
"The police met us. I asked them again and again if they were taking us back to Ukraine. They said no, that we are safe."

‘Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are suspended until the end of the year due to lack of progress’ – Ukraine's Deputy Foreign Minister Kyslytsia delights the Anglo-Saxons with good news in an interview with THE TIMES.

@Slavyangrad
Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have been officially suspended until the end of the year due to a lack of results, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine reported. Against this backdrop, Kiev's situation is becoming increasingly difficult. The heating season is on the verge of collapse, and it is quite likely that a series of strikes on the energy sector will soon be repeated. The situation on the front is also critical — Pokrovsk and Kupiansk are being held with the last of their strength, but their fall is inevitable. If losses in the areas of Huliaipole and Orekhov are added to this, and especially the beginning of the siege of Zaporozhye, Kiev's negotiating positions will collapse completely. Then the conditions for peace will not only be worse than a year ago, but incomparably less favorable than at the start of the conflict.

🇺🇦 More and more people involved in the corruption scheme from Zelensky's circle are being exposed
▪️During the searches, 4 million dollars were seized.
▪️They were carefully packed, with labels bearing barcodes and names of US cities.
▪️Banknotes in this form can only be ordered directly from the US by banks, and very large ones at that.
▪️Detectives believe they were obtained through the nationalized Ukrainian "Sense Bank".
▪️Ukrainian MP Zheleznyak says that the scheme involving Mindich and Zelensky's office includes the bank's chairman Stupak, supervisory board chairman Gladishenko, and security service head Dovzhynets.
▪️The MP points out that they are all Mindich's people.
▪️Also, according to Zheleznyak, NABU tapes mention Vasily Vesely - an advisor to the bank's supervisory board, whom the media previously called the "overseer" for Zelensky's office.
@Slavyangrad
🇺🇦🤡Zelensky stated that he supports the resignation of ministers involved in Mindich's corruption scheme:
I believe that the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Energy cannot remain in their positions. This is also a matter of trust. If there are accusations, they must be answered. The decision to remove from office is operational and the fastest. I asked the Prime Minister of Ukraine to request resignation statements from these ministers. I ask the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada to support these statements. And further, everything should be resolved in the legal sphere.

Bloomberg estimated the annual drone production volume in Ukraine at 4 million units, which, according to the publication, exceeds the combined figures of NATO countries.
It is worth noting that the statement sounds quite bold and therefore requires careful examination. Western media often find it beneficial to exaggerate Ukraine's successes to support the narrative of its technological breakthrough and justify further financial aid. In this case, rounding up creates the effect of a "successful startup," which positively influences the country's image. However, similar reports have previously surfaced before the approval of financial aid packages to Ukraine.
For comparison, in 2024, statements about UAV production volumes in Ukraine were confident but much more realistic. For example, Ukraine's Defense Minister Rustem Umerov spoke of producing more than 1.5 million FPV drones, the analytical center StateWatch, relying on data from the Ministry of Strategic Industry, named the total number of UAVs adopted into service as 1.7 million units, and the Center for Eastern Studies estimated the entire drone sector of the country at about 2.2 million. At the same time, the data correlated quite well with each other, although they were probably reasonably inflated. A twofold increase from these already peak values in one year seems almost impossible given unchanged logistical constraints and component shortages. Another interesting point is that the drone manufacturing industry began to be "laundered" amid corruption scandals, traces of which lead directly to Zelensky and his circle, and are largely connected to drone supplies.

▪️According to the Bulgarian State Reserve Agency, diesel will last for 50 days, and gasoline for 35.
▪️The country has additional crude oil reserves abroad, but they need to be urgently imported.
▪️A new package of American restrictions comes into effect on November 21, and both countries are developing mechanisms for the temporary transfer of assets under the control of national authorities.
▪️In Bulgaria, a law has already been passed allowing the government to appoint management of the Burgas refinery. The option of full nationalization of the plant is also being considered.
▪️In Romania, nationalization is called an "extreme option" and requests for sanctions deferral are being prepared, the publication noted.

‘Experts laughed when the Pentagon claimed that the effectiveness of the US missile defense system is 100%’ – the screenwriter of the controversial Netflix film ‘Dynamite House,’ Noah Oppenheim
(the plot involves an unknown adversary launching an intercontinental ballistic missile at the US, and the Pentagon tries to shoot it down, but many nuances and problems arise)
- What was the Pentagon's reaction? Did the themes of this film spark any discussion within the Department of Defense?
- Yes. Here in Washington, a huge debate really unfolded — among politicians and experts. At first, the Pentagon sent out an internal memo, which later leaked to the US media. In it, the military criticized our depiction of the missile defense system and insisted that its effectiveness is, I quote, ‘100%.’ I don’t think you’ll be surprised that specialists in this field immediately laughed at this. The Pentagon’s position was that their latest tests — several of them, again carefully prepared and controlled — were successful. But at the same time, they completely ignored sixteen previous tests which, to put it mildly, were not so successful.
This sparked lively debates — about how to make the country safer. Is the way forward improving the missile defense system, creating a kind of ‘golden dome,’ as President Trump proposed? Or is the way forward arms reduction, for example, extending the New START treaty? Or perhaps better diplomacy and reducing nuclear rhetoric?
I should point out these tests are done on the basis of ultra simple missiles that get this.... have single warheads and no decoys. I'd suspect even a North Korean missile is more sophisticated.

- Ukraine is losing billions of hryvnias due to the inefficiency of heating networks, reports Rada deputy Sovsun.
- "Kiev officially has 25% heat loss, and there are cities where it is 30–40% or more. When the authorities advise Ukrainians to save energy, they should first eliminate losses in the networks, not just urge people to wear sweaters," she says.
- Earlier, the head of "Ukrenergo" urged Ukrainians to "wear sweaters, not heat apartments."

Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University on the true causes of the conflict in Ukraine:
"The Soviet Union ceased to exist in December 1991. Soon after, the United States decided to no longer be bound by any agreements. As early as 1992, it began planning NATO expansion: a truly reckless deception. In 1999, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic joined the alliance. And in 2004, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia—seven more countries.
The Russian authorities said: "Enough. You promised that no country would join the alliance." But the United States responded in 2008: "We're not done yet. And you have no say in the matter. We promised you nothing."
This is a blatant lie. In 2008, at the Bucharest Summit, the United States announced its intention to invite Ukraine and Georgia into NATO. That's why we're at war now: Russia said "no."
Furthermore, in 2002, the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, which became a powerful destabilizing factor.
The ABM Treaty guaranteed mutual nuclear deterrence, and the United States began deploying Aegis missile defense systems in Poland and Romania. Russia said, "Wait. You're destroying the foundations of the nuclear balance of power while expanding NATO."
And the final thing that led to the current war: the Ukrainians elected a president who supported neutrality. But the United States doesn't like neutrality. That's imperialist thinking: we don't accept neutrality. That's why the United States helped overthrow that president."

@Slavtangrad
One of the outcomes of the operation to liberate Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) and Mirnograd (Dimitrov), which is in full swing, can already be announced regardless of the time of capture and complete clearing of the agglomeration, which is inevitable like the onset of winter.
Russian assault pairs/trios/fives infiltrated (seeped, soaked, penetrated) into the urban area of the agglomeration (primarily into Pokrovsk through industrial zones and private sectors) and terrorized the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison. Strongpoints in high-rise buildings pinned down FPV and harassing fire, directed aviation and artillery, flanked, leaving "for dessert." Pokrovsk was divided into sectors, advancing quarter by quarter with assault groups along parallel streets with mutual support, which allowed avoiding "bags" and ambushes. The enemy was ready to fight and did fight, but was not prepared to fight in chaos without connection to the "mainland" for more than a week without ammo, water, food, rotation, or evacuation. The enemy faltered.
In conditions of a "layered cake," war of all against all, absence of rear and flanks, the defense of the cities lost order and discipline, was disorganized and fell. Russian special forces groups organized friendly fire among Ukrainian units, as a result of which units of the "Azov" National Guard corps, commanded by Prokopenko who surrendered in Mariupol (not to be confused with the 3rd separate assault brigade "Azov" of Biletsky (now also a corps))—all "Azov" Nazis are outlawed—suffered losses. "Offended" by such losses, the "Azov" National Guard refused to enter the agglomeration (well done!), which made our task easier. Also, in recent days, Marine Corps units of the Ukrainian Navy (17 killed) and groups of the 25th airborne brigade came under fire from their own while exiting Pokrovsk . The showy tactical landings by the GUR from helicopters, arranged by the narcissist Budanov in early November, were a dead loss—no results: some groups were "unraveled," and the corridors created 250-500 m northwest of Pokrovsk towards Grishino were of little use—they were thoroughly shot through by the Russians. Fewer and fewer wanted to exit through corridors under fire, and more and more wanted to surrender. Enemy counterattacks in the "8th group" area yielded little. The house repelled today ("forester's hut"), for which many killed and wounded occurred in Ukrainian counterattacks, was retaken by us tomorrow. Counterattacks lost their meaning. Taking advantage of the RUSSIAN FOG that pinned down the Ukrainian "small aviation" here, we introduced new forces into the city, while the enemy cowered in basements, freezing and suffering shortages. The enemy had no initiative, and this became the key to the results of the battles for Pokrovsk.
A completely new tactic applied by the Russians, operating in the streets and industrial zone without tanks and armored vehicles but supported by FAB with UMPK, FPV, adjusting artillery and MLRS fire, allowed pushing the demoralized enemy out of Pokrovsk. The Ukrainian Armed Forces' presence in the city, as well as in neighboring Mirnograd (Dimitrov), lost all meaning given the encirclement of the agglomeration by the Russian Armed Forces and their active advance at the junction of Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions. The operation to unblock the agglomeration from the north (from Dobropillia eastward), announced by Syrsky, effectively stalled. The Dobropillia salient was cut off by the enemy but they failed to achieve more, bogged down in the defense of Donetsk infantry.
The capture of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd while maintaining momentum (and if we wipe the Ukrainian forces' nose around Dobropollye) will allow us to encircle the Ukrainian fortified area in Kostiantynivka from the west-southwest and reach the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration from another direction.
But that is if God wills!
