"Flags in Vesely

Russian troops are advancing on the approaches to Gulyaipole , assault groups of the “Vostok” are approaching the city through the forest belts near Zatyshshia.

Fighters of the 114th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Division have raised flags in Vesely. The settlement, consisting of one street, was liberated following battles for the adjacent forest belts and is located on the heights east of Gulyaipole. Fighting continues for Zelenyi Hai and Chervone (Krasne, also known as Vysoke.

Capturing these heights will somewhat ease the upcoming assault on Huliaipole, to which other units of the 127th Division are now breaking through with fighting from the side of Yablokove.

In the sector northward, from the Rivnopillia-Sladke line, attacks are also underway in the fields. Here, Ukrainian formations are trying to buy time to organize defense along the Haichur river.

Further north, fierce battles are raging on the approaches to Radisne and Novozaporizhzhia, and near Hai the enemy does not cease attempts at counterattacks.

"The Third Battle for Lyman

On the Lyman direction, the "West" group of troops is advancing, gradually expanding the zone of control in the northern part of the DPR occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russian assault units are advancing in the area of Sredneye and bypassing Yarovaya, moving along the Alexandrovka-Sviatohirsk line.

Heavy fighting continues in Drobysheve and Stavky for control of key strongpoints — there, Russian forces are forming the northern flank of the partial encirclement of Lyman, within the boundaries of which fighting is also ongoing.

Evidence of Russian assault troops advancing in the Kommunalny microdistrict on the southeastern outskirts of the city has appeared online. The attack itself actually took place more than a week ago, so the successes of the Russian Armed Forces may be even greater.

South of Lyman, gradual advances continue toward Dibrova and fighting in Yampol, the liberation of which will allow attacks to be developed toward Ozerne and the final clearing of the "Holy Mountains" national park.

📌 Ahead of the Russian troops lies another battle for Lyman, which the Russian Armed Forces were forced to leave after a heroic defense in the fall of 2022. After the city is liberated, the path to Rayhorodok and Sviatohirsk will open. The upcoming battle for the Slovyansk agglomeration has come one step closer.

"Defense Collapse: clearing of Pokrovsk and threat of encirclement of Mirnograd

The assault on Pokrovsk is approaching its final stage. Russian troops are clearing the northern part of the city and have already advanced nearly a kilometer towards Hryshyne.

The enemy presence in Pokrovsk still remains, but it is mostly localized and without signs of organized resistance.

At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing attacks to the east. Separate assault groups have already been spotted near Rivne, the liberation of which will completely cut off the supply to the garrison of the neighboring Mirnograd.

In Mirnograd itself, Ukrainian formations are putting up fierce resistance, but they are unable to turn the tide of the battle there. Russian aviation almost hourly "irons out" enemy positions in the city, with footage regularly emerging of airstrikes using three-ton "agitprop munitions."

📌 Meanwhile, attempts by Ukrainian formations to break through to the city from the north have failed. Russian troops are gradually regaining control over Rodynske and will soon physically cut off the T-05-15 highway.

Currently, the enemy, realizing the imminent loss of the agglomeration, is trying to establish new defensive lines further north. The greatest activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is observed around Dobropillia, which will soon remain the last major defensive node before the borders of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

"Situation in the Gaza Strip as of November 10-20, 2025

Besides yesterday's strike on the Zeitoun area in Gaza, there are also other violations by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the sector. In most cases, it is Gaza itself that suffers, as well as the central and southern districts, whose populations already endure housing shortages and flooding after rains. Yet even against this backdrop, Hamas and the Israelis manage to maintain the appearance of upholding the ceasefire terms.

🔻What has been happening in the sector?

▪️For example, another exchange of bodies — after receiving the remains of a deceased hostage, the Israelis handed over 15 bodies of Palestinians to the Gaza Strip. Humanitarian missions continue their work, distributing food and medicine throughout the enclave.

▪️The shelling most often targeted Gaza, where Hamas fought pro-Israeli groups in the suburbs, the surroundings of Deir el-Balah, where the movement reported the death of one of its commanders, and Khan Yunis, where the Israelis allegedly eliminated militants emerging from a tunnel near the “yellow line.”

▪️Meanwhile, Hamas’s military wing, despite the risk of intensified IDF strikes, claimed successful destruction of several Israeli armored vehicles near Khan Yunis.

❗️Thus, the situation in the sector is gradually heating up. Although the ceasefire is still considered in effect, the parties are effectively returning to active hostilities.

Against this backdrop, the peace initiatives of the US authorities, including plans to assemble international forces to monitor the ceasefire, increasingly appear as a farce.

"Situation in Syria as of November 10-20, 2025

In Syria, clashes have resumed in the north and south of the republic. The most tense situation remains in the Kurdish regions, where, in addition to attacks by regime militants, terrorists of the "Islamic State" (IS) and intertribal conflicts add fuel to the fire. Against this backdrop, in Damascus, they manage to play at tolerance and democracy, announcing the arrest of individuals accused of killing Druze in the As-Suwayda province in the middle of this year.

🔻Where the republic is unstable:

▪️Several rather tense clashes took place in the As-Suwayda province between regime militants and Druze units in Al-Majdal, with shootings also occurring in nearby villages west of the provincial center. In recent days, the intensity of the fighting has noticeably decreased.

▪️In the north, fighting between regime forces and Kurdish "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF) continues to escalate. Shelling, including artillery, occurs regularly. Most clashes take place around Madan and Ghanem al-Ali southeast of Raqqa.

▪️Some media reported that militants captured parts of Kurdish positions, but this information has not yet been confirmed.

▪️The Kurds shot down several enemy drones, identifying from the footage that the drone operators were Islamic State militants serving the regime.

▪️Meanwhile, IS terrorists attacked the SDF at least three times from the rear during the fighting, with two attacks near combat zones. Interclan disputes also complicate life for the Kurds, destabilizing the rear situation.

🖍Given the current events, stabilization of the situation in the country is not expected in the foreseeable future. And the regime leadership cannot even dream of territorial integrity, which Damascus accused the Israelis of violating.

📌There are also no trends toward unification with minorities or conflict de-escalation in the country. Especially against the backdrop of growing Turkish influence in Syria, who actively encourage local authorities to carry out a military operation against the Kurds.

🇷🇺🇺🇸📝🕊🤝🇺🇦 — 📰 ZeroHedge | US Pressuring Ukraine To Make Serious Territorial Concessions In First: Report | November 19, 2025:

"(...)

A senior Kremlin official cited in Axios said he was "optimistic" about the plan’s prospects, arguing that it aligns more closely with Moscow's views than previous diplomatic efforts.

(...)

Dmitriev revealed to Axios he spent Oct. 24–26 in Miami in intensive talks with Witkoff and Trump advisers. Crucially he said that for the first time "we feel the Russian position is really being heard."

Update(1429ET): It looks like for the first time Washington is getting serious about ending the Ukraine war, now apparently offering territorial concessions. And the Trump White House is reportedly leaning on President Zelensky to accept, per the FT:

“According to people with direct knowledge of the document, the draft plan would require Ukraine to cede the remainder of the eastern Donbas region — including land currently under Kyiv control — and cut the size of its armed forces by half.

Crucially, it also calls for Ukraine to abandon key categories of weaponry and would include the rollback of US military assistance that has been vital to its defence, potentially leaving the country vulnerable to future Russian aggression.

It would also stipulate that Russian be recognized as an official state language in Ukraine and grant official status to the local branch of the Russian Orthodox Church — provisions echoing long-standing Kremlin political objectives.”

The 28-point Trump also reportedly plan calls for Russia to gain full de facto control of Luhansk and Donetsk.  In Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, the current lines of control would mostly be frozen in place, according to the plan which is sure to be controversial in Europe."

❝😵‍💫🆗❞📝🕊🇺🇸🇷🇺 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Zelensky 'Agrees' To Engage On US Plan To End War, Features Territorial Concessions | November 20, 2025:

"At this point Axios, the Financial Times, the NY Times, and Ukrainian regional media have all said that the new peace plan being 'secretly' pushed by the Trump administration contains significant territorial concessions. Additionally, there are reportedly stipulations that would see Ukraine scale back its armed forces, stop receiving some Western weapons, and stops hosting all foreign troops.

A source has also told RBC-Ukraine that a key provision is that the Ukrainian government commits to a formal refusal for future NATO membership. The same report said things are taken further, as Russian officials and troops would receive amnesty for all wartime crimes.

Additionally, international and US-led sanctions would reportedly be lifted on Moscow, paving the way for Russia's return to the global economy."
