Today there are a lot of important updates from the Pokrovsk direction.
Here, the Russians launched the next phase of their offensive on Pokrovsk, trying to overcome the Ukrainian defenses with large mechanized assaults. Despite the detailed plan of operations in the Pokrovsk region, the Russian forces ran into numerous seatbacks which completely deranged their operations.
The Russian offensive is focused on three main vectors of attack. To the southwest, the goal is to advance along the railway embankment from Selydove toward settlements south of Pokrovsk, ultimately reaching Shevchenko. This would expand their bridgehead south of the city and allow them to target key supply routes west of Pokrovsk with anti-tank guided missiles, mortars, and artillery. From the northeast, Russian forces from Hrodivka and Novohrodivka aim to enter Myrnograd and engage in urban combat, with the objective of disrupting supply lines to Pokrovsk by putting the city's road network under fire control.
Ukrainian commanders anticipated the Russian assault routes and used the period of Russian recuperation to establish multi-layered defenses. They deployed remote mining systems to strategically place anti-tank mines along key paths of advance, while drone units were sent to monitor the area around Selydove, enabling rapid responses to Russian movements. The open fields and roads were heavily mined, and Ukrainian forces stationed troops in Yurivka, Petrivka, Hryhorivka, and Novoaleksandrivka, ready to engage Russian stormtroopers weakened by prior losses. This strategy created a strong, multi-layered defense that shifted the tactical advantage to Ukraine.
Russian plans to cut off Ukrainian supply lines on the northern flank are largely unfeasible due to disorganized and inadequate logistical support in this sector. As a result, Russian efforts are focused on strengthening the southern flank around Pokrovsk. In this region, Selydove serves as a critical hub for troop concentration and logistical support. Unlike Hrodivka to the north, which has suffered extensive damage, Selydove remains largely intact, facilitating smoother logistics. However, Russian forces seem unprepared for the depth and resilience of the Ukrainian defenses around Selydove, complicating their advance.
The strong logistical support in the area enabled Russian forces to launch more intense and sustained assaults, concentrating their efforts to the west of Selydove. They initiated attacks along the railway embankment, targeting the towns of Petrivka and Hryhorivka, as well as Novoaleksandrivka and Yurivka to the south. Combat footage from the area reveals the involvement of Russian mechanized forces, including T-80BVM tanks, BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicles, and Chinese Desertcross ATVs, along with golf carts used for troop transport.
Unfortunately for the Russians, many of these vehicles-tanks, BMPs, and unarmored ATVs-were destroyed due to the rapid response of Ukrainian drone operators, who had anticipated the assaults. Alongside drone strikes, the Ukrainians used remote mining tactics to further disrupt Russian forces, detracking several T-80BVM tanks and forcing their crews to abandon them. This provided an opportunity for Ukrainian drones to destroy the abandoned vehicles, causing additional losses for the Russian forces.
As a result, the Russian soldiers who managed to escape their vehicles were forced to continue the assault on foot, only to be easily detected. Packed together in a "meat-wave" formation, they became prime targets for Ukrainian drone operators, who ambushed them and inflicted heavy losses as the Russians tried to take cover in nearby treelines. Ultimately, the surviving Russian soldiers managed to infiltrate a small area around Yurivka, Novoaleksandrivka, and Hryhorivka, west of Selydove, establishing a foothold. However, the assault units suffered severe casualties, significantly weakening their offensive capabilities.
Overall, the Russians launched a downscaled assault west of Selydove, facing mounting losses that slowed their progress. In one instance, only four out of thirty soldiers survived, resulting in 80% death rate. These heavy casualties forced short pauses for replenishment, giving the Ukrainians valuable time to strengthen defenses and refine tactics. During this period, Ukrainian forces are focusing on remote mining and fortifying positions, concentrating...

🖥Thanks. Good analysis. Z-Cyber-losses are now estimated reaching $10 billion for RU economy. Volunteers welcome🖥⚡🔥😎

Thanks you RFU for the report, Слава Україні! Слава Героям! 🇺🇦💪
Thank you, Strength And Love, and lots of great thoughts. 😎👍
Thanks for the update.
Do Russian troops not scout mines, then? Until the first car strikes a mine, it appears that every attack will be unexpected.
That would require specialization training and special equipment, neither of which Russian conscripts nor regulars seem to have.

In keeping up to date with the war, this is what I have so far; correct me if I am wrong, please.
North Korean soldiers openly operate in Kursk and Eastern Ukraine. They also brought with them their own weapons, equipment, and vehicles. All of it with questionable integrity. There are accusations that artillery shells provided by the North Koreans have either failed to fire, or explode when fired. One story has eighteen deserting because their Command forgot about them, and didn't deliver onto them any supplies for several days.
On average Russia's losing 1,000 soldiers a day, killed-wounded-or missing. Ukraine doesn't announce the number of POWs they possess, except when prisoner exchanges are made.
Russia is using dirt bikes, ATVs, and Chinese-made golf carts for transportation, courier, an tactical movements. When it comes to tactics, they're advancing over open terrain with no support, no smoke, and following the same paths as other assaults.
Russia's lost at least 2,502 tanks destroyed since the beginning of the war, using Oryx as a source. That's 2.5 tanks per day. They're using T-54/55 tanks, too, relics from the 1950s. That also doesn't include the thousands of APCs, IFVs, support and logistics vehicles destroyed or captured.
About one-quarter of the Black Sea fleet is either damaged, sunk, or write-offs, including their former-flagship.
Eight Russians generals, including one promoted posthumously, have been lost.
They have lost at least 117 fixed-winged aircraft destroyed. Another 115 helicopters have also been lost. One was damaged and captured. Another defected to Ukraine.
And they still gain ground in Ukraine. Remember that. Putin doesn´t give a rat's ass about personnel and equipment losses as long as there´s ground gained.
Slava Ukraine 🇸🇪💞🇺🇦
Thank you for another great report. Always enjoy your presentations.
i was hoping the november weather would stop russian advances but it seems like theyre accelerating
I think they want to be in an as-much-as-possible advantageous situation when tRump assumes power if Ukraine feel hopeless, believing US supplies will be cut, and suggest a truce.
Thanks for the detailed reporting as always 🎉😊

Ah Russia.. the most inept army the world has ever seen. 1000 days in now, and they got absolutely NOTHING to show for! Pathetic!! Love to Ukraine from Norway

Agree with your comment about ineptness. But they are showing slow progress. They hold 20 percent of Ukraine and Crimea. They have demolished Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukrainian population has decreased by 20 percent since the war started. Ukraine is totally dependent on foreign aid. They can never recover on their own. They are holding on to a very elastic defensive line that might simply collapse. That is not to say that the Russians are capable of exploiting that. They lack air defenses. Russia can fire missiles, rockets and drones at will. Russia has turned this into a world war with Africans, N Koreans, Indians, Syrians fighting for them. They get support from Brazil, India, Iran, China , DPRK, Belorussians. Ukraine gets halting support from the west. Biden just authorized Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American weapons. But this was a political move designed to reduce Trumps options.
@@myne00OK Facist
So all the defensive preparations still couldn't stop the Russians?
If the Russians advance with this loss rate, they need 264 Millionen people. Have Putin so?
Hello, as far as you know, are there other bloggers for Ukraine like you in Italy or in italian?
Slava Ukrayini!
SLAVA UKRAINE
Good video
Look, I get your reports. But a unit with 80 percent combat losses is simply hors de combat. They don’t advance 2-4 kilometers into enemy territory. You are beginning to lose my confidence.
👍🇺🇦🇮🇪🇺🇦
Unbelievable..
I’m early I see
I agree
Seems to be a long way of saying Ukraine front line was in fact pushed back towards Pokrovsk yet again, despite heavy russian losses.
Well done for actually mentioning the losses. That's actually the most relevant part, far more relevant than Russia gaining relatively minor amounts of territory.
Nice
4 survivors out of 80 is a 95% loss rate!
So they know they are coming, but don’t shell the point of assembly before the attack is launched? Why not?
ok so they still advanced, thanks for the info
Gotta be desperate to ride into battle on a golf cart!
You make it sound like a Russian defeat, when in in fact they seceded in establishing the foothold they were trying to secure
" Only 4/30 managed to survive, but they did gain terrain. "Like whut...this reporting is bogus.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Just letting you know, I appreciate the succinct videos.
I realise that it probably costs you whatever youtube pays.
So they do keep pushing forward despite all the losses...
It's costing Russia dearly, both in lost soldiers and the economy.
He planned for his 'Special Military Operation' to last only a few days. 🤡
🇨🇦💙🇺🇦
You need to keep in mind that when the Russians are determining performance outcomes, the bar for the Russian army is exceedingly low. ;-)
So the bottom line is, the Russian continue to advance.......
Loses are not a factor for Russia, never have been. Russia keep winning and taking town after town on their march to the West.
Russia isnt winning anything. It isnt a video game.
Cost no longer mean anything to Russia. Not sure Russia wil be able to stop the war due to over investment in the war. The cost has already been to high and like an addict it just cannot stop. Russia no longer has political or economical means to stop.
so not much is going on down south

It's Nonsense.
Russians are not the ones who are threatening Scotland. The ones who bought Ukrainian Farmland do.
"Unfortunately for Russians" they moved ahead and took up positions in the four small settlements that they were trying to move into.
So Ukraine keeps losing ground. Sad.
So Russia keeps losing men. Sad.
@@nic.h. No, Fantastic 🟦🎶🎼🟨
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 yeah I was a little hesitant to add the sad in all honesty.
I thought that Russian trolls said that Pokrovsk was going to be captured by Russian forces by September.
Maybe they meant September 2025 ......except that by then the situations for the Russian economy and Russian government and Russian military are going to be a lot worse.
FIRST!
can not hide truth
Trump will “fix” everything. He’ll kiss pootin’s…
Upvoting yourself repeatedly is patheticf.
All MAGAs are traitors.
Ukraine will prevail 🇭🇷❤️🇺🇦
Sorry to Russian and North korean soldiers who have fallen you are a victim of your leaders ego. Your not a hero to your country your fighting a senseless war.
If only 4 Russians made it through the defenses how did they take two villages???
You should pay more attention. What was said was "In one instance, only 4 survived".This means there's other instances. They probably regrouped with less broken units.
More meat waves
Russia is cowardly retreating forward as Ukraine is courageously advancing backwards.
This is a emergency for u to get youe mind back
You are only about 3 years behind this conflict becoming a war of attrition. Please keep it up.
@@nic.h. Who is "you" ?
Because war is a video game. 🤡
@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 I was referring to the OP
In other words, Ukraine once again lost more territory to Russia.
What's more important , losing a few hundred metres here and there or large numbers of troops to defend it in the short term ? Russian advances come at a high cost which is why they can't gain large chunks of ground in one sweep . Once their rear support bases are struck with ATACAMS , Storm Shadow etc the Russians will struggle to defend current gains .
In other words, Russia once again lost more men for relatively minor territory gains.
@nic.h The Russians haven't got an endless supply of men and equipment . Ukraine on the other hand is presently arming up very well and will introduce a couple of new brigades to defend their homeland , who have been trained by the French . It's interesting to see western Europe is ramping up support for Ukraine , so in the event Trump opts not to provide them with further assistance , Ukraine will still be capable of fending off their foe .
It has been suggested the Europeans could very well purchase ATACAMS and other good gear from the Americans even if they choose under Trump to take a step back to take care of their own internal affairs .
Looks like Ukraine loses land most every day.
War of attrition, so what is that land costing Russia? Which is a far more relevant metric to talk about.
I prevent myself from watching thiese kind of videos too much its depressing.imagine beeing born there and send in the army.
but russia will try to get all over europe.. its a empire .. its goood nato knows this for 80 years. you russians face a army you dont want to mess with its preparing for almost 100 years
Thanks for the update 🇬🇧
Glory To Ukraine 🇺🇦 Stay strong! 💪 🙏 💙💛
Day 1000 of a three day operation!
I don't know about you reports you say Ukraine destroyed 80% of their force but still advanced to 4 towns how could that be, its concerning as Russians are still taking ground except for Kursk Ukraine has not taken any ground for 12-18 months which tells me Ukraine is losing the war you can't force Putin to pull out when he's advancing
Their strategies are entirely different ukraines goal isn’t to send men to die to gain 1 mile of land their goal is to make it so costly for Russia that eventually Russia just runs out of will and resources to continue in a reasonable fashion
....and your current knowledge of military strategy in this region is exactly what?
War of attrition on both sides. Russia gives up hundreds per square km taken. Maybe not so sustainable.
U summed it up perfectly. This is a propaganda channel only reports on current minor wins by Ukraine whilst leaving out anything resembling a defeat. I to would b a little biased if it were I but to blatantly mislead my audience, that would not sit well with conscious
I think the channel owner is becoming a bit lazy. This is a repost. Shame if it keeps going down that path.
All you can do is just laugh at the copium in these Ukranian channels. You destroyed 80% of their advancing force and lost ground? All without losses of course. Anybody that has served in any capacity at all knows how ridiculous the garbage in here is.
Well anybody who served in the Russian army. Other countries tend to place more value than a few yards of gain on their soldiers life's.
Still losing
pootin will realize he is losing soon im sure
Unfortunately for the ruSSians?
Four aledged Russian super heros survived.

BAHAHAHHAA!
On November 17 and 18, groups of Russian UAVs operated in the skies over Ukraine. The Russian Aerospace Forces’ strategic aviation also conducted a combined strike against Ukrainian military and energy infrastructure facilities. At least 120 missiles were launched and about 90 UAVs were used. On the front lines, the Russian Army retains the initiative, pushing through the Ukrainian armed forces’ defenses in several directions.
Kurakhovo is being semi-encircled, and heavy fighting has begun in the city. The emergency blowing up of the Kurakhovo reservoir dam by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) did not help matters. The head of the Kyiv regime, Zelensky, cannot muster the courage to withdraw his troops from the “Kurakhovo pocket”. Many Ukrainian military personnel, without waiting for his order to retreat, are fleeing en masse from Kurakhovo, as well as from other settlements.
Battles for every house in Chasov Yar are ongoing now. Russian assault groups have broken the UAF’s defenses in the Druzhba forest, which is located south of the western part of the Kalinovka settlement. Kalinovka itself has already been turned into ruins. The city of Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasov Yar, is already preparing for its defense.
The front has also come into motion in the Vremevskoye direction of Zaporizhzhia Region. Russian troops are advancing towards the populated areas of Novodovarovka and Rovnopol.
In the Orekhovskoye direction, Russian troops are moving towards Novoandreyevka, north of Rabotino.
In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian units continue their offensive operations, showing success in liberating key populated areas and destroying UAF defensive lines.
The situation in the Kupyansk direction of the Kharkiv Region is becoming crucial. The loss of the village of Sinkovka by the Ukrainians has opened the way for Russian troops to the key logistical hub of Kupyansk. Control over this town will allow the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) to strengthen their positions and improve their supply situation.
In the Kursk region heavy fighting is taking place, and the UAF are throwing reserves and expensive NATO armored vehicles into the battle to unblock some of their units. In the area of the Olgovsky Forest, the Ukrainians attempted to break out of the encirclement but were hit by fire. Up to 180 men were killed and 24 were taken prisoner.
Russian military sources shared a short video from the frontlines. It shows a large group of Ukrainian soldiers attacked by Russian small FPV drones.
According to reports, a company of the UAF was spotted on its way to military positions near the village of Olgovka in the Russian Kursk region. These group reportedly came from the Ukrainian border Sumy region in order to rescue Ukrainian forces blockaded in the forest area there. However, the plan of the Ukrainian rescue team was thwarted. Russian aerial reconnaissance revealed them, and they came under massive attack of Russian drones.
According to reports, the group was destroyed but the results of the attack were not filmed. The Ukrainian military definitely suffered losses and their operation was thwarted.
The video clearly shows the low level of coordination of Ukrainian forces on the Russian territory. A lot of Ukrainian soldiers made a grave mistake and gathered together in a field area.
Russian scouts entered the village of Muravyi in the Chernihiv Region of Ukraine and raised the flag there.
Due to the heavy losses of UAF personnel, Kyiv is intensifying mobilization activities, reporting the need to send another 160,000 people to the front line.
The successes of the RAF point to a significant weakening of the Ukrainian army, which gives Russians an opportunity to advance further.
But you show no proof, nor videos.

@@senatorjosephmccarthy2720 what had that fairy tale got to do with anything?
Palestinians were invented by the KGB in 1964 in Romania.
In other words, another advance by Russian troops that the AFU was unable to halt. Attempting to make high-Russian loses appear like a victory is pointless, because the loses don't matter to Russia.
i dont know, having to bring north korean troops says otherwise
The losses don't matter to Putin but eventually they will. If the war stops tomorrow then mothers and wives will ask where are their men, somehow I don't think the Russian MOD's 'they are missing' excuse will hold up for long. And inflicting heavy losses is a victory, if any other army lost 20-30 (or more) armored vehicles per day it would be called a 'disaster'. The Romans used the same tactics to defeat Hannibal
@@Nick-v2d Yeah, I know, it's just depressing to hear about these continued advances. Actually, I think a turning point in the war may already have been reached, so I'm cautiously optimistic.
Absolute BS
You are losing land km by km daily and you can brag about death rate as much as you want but you lost massive piece of land.
If you didn’t know or understand objective of the war is either to get land or to defend the land.
You are losing land on daily basis everything else is bla bla
Vietnam War. The Americans never lost a battle and yet lost the war. The same with Afghanistan. And the Russians are bleeding troops. This is attritional warfare, where the winner is the one left standing. When one side collapses, it will be quick. The Russians are throwing everything they have in the hopes of Trump stabbing the Ukrainians in the back.
There is something to be said for trading a slow loss of land for attrition os soldiers and weaponry.

Thousand Ukrainian man’s play and drink in European Union nations.Not defending Ukraine
@@MarekKolenda-cr8vr where on the front lines are you fighting for the glory of Putin?
RFU overhaul??
Many training in France...
Why is Ukraine losing ground everywhere?
Because the west isn't providing the military support needed. Also lack of competence in the military in Ukraine high command. Lack of defensive fortifications and manpower.
Because holding ground isn't their primary objective currently.
They just keep coming and Ukraine keeps going backwards
