"The liberation is getting closer

Pokrovsk and Mirnograd are completely encircled — Vladimir Putin.


Assault troops of the "Center" group of forces are advancing, while Russian UAV operators, artillery, and aviation are actively targeting the supply routes of the remaining Ukrainian formations in the agglomeration.

🔻What is happening in the direction?

▪️Ukrainian formations continue to hold part of Mirnograd. Despite heavy losses from drones and aviation, the enemy does not cease attempts to send reinforcements into the city.

For this reason, the "graveyard of equipment" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, trying to rotate and deliver ammunition to those trapped in the "cauldron" in the city, is gradually growing. Judging by footage from the area, most of the equipment is destroyed by drones several kilometers before reaching the city.

▪️Clearing of Pokrovsk continues. The Russian army has reached another section near the northern outskirts. Enemy presence in the city still remains in its northeastern part, right at the approaches to the corridor through which enemy forces enter or escape from Mirnograd.

▪️From Pokrovsk, the Russian Armed Forces are already developing attacks towards Grishino. Russian troops are trying to break a breach in the Ukrainian defense west of the agglomeration. Advanced infantry groups are securing the outskirts of the village. This settlement was previously turned by the enemy into a real fortified area.

Moreover, the entire line from Grishino to Udachny has come into motion — recently there were reports of Russian Armed Forces presence at strongpoints north of Kotlino.


📌 The command of the Ukrainian formations is diligently pretending that nothing terrible has happened in Mirnograd, and that the Armed Forces of Ukraine still hold Pokrovsk. The situation resembles Bakhmut and Avdiivka, when the leadership of the so-called Ukraine, having created a "fortress" in the media space, refused to accept the fact of its loss. Considering the real state of affairs on the battlefield, soon the Armed Forces of Ukraine will simply stop mentioning the lost cities in their reports.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⭐️ Rybar:

"Bypassing Lyman

The "West" group of troops is advancing on the Lyman direction, moving up to the approaches to the city and its flanks.

🔻Where successes have been achieved:

▪️At the Oleksandrivka-Yarova line, Russian Armed Forces units advanced through the forests toward Sosnove, bypassing Yarova from the north.

▪️From the side of Zarechne, attacks continue further west. Previously, Russian units advanced here through ravines, but now they operate on a wider front, occupying enemy strongpoints in forest belts between gullies.

▪️Fierce fighting continues on the southeastern outskirts of Lyman for the Kommunalnyi district. Russian assault units had earlier secured Masliakovka on the approaches to it.

▪️After capturing several strongpoints near the Varadero recreation base, Russian units reached the outskirts of Dibrova, where they managed to hold on to the edges of the settlement.

▪️From the side of Yampil, attacks continue toward Ozerne. A large strongpoint blocks the way to the village.

▪️There are also local successes at the Yampil-Platonivka line. Russian units cleared part of a "pocket" in the swampy area at this section. According to some reports, the enemy is trying to exit through the coastal strip between Yampil and the Seversky Donets.

📌The enemy is trying to stabilize the situation by transferring reinforcements, including from neighboring Sloviansk. However, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is rapidly deteriorating, especially against the backdrop of Russian units' successes in other directions.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⭐️ Rybar:

"Far Approaches to Sloviansk

Heavy fighting is underway in Seversk itself on the Seversk direction, and the area southwest of the city is also becoming active.

🔻Where is the fighting?

▪️Reports have appeared online about attacks from Zvanivka towards Sviato-Pokrovske. This settlement is the last road leading directly into Seversk.

This route is already under fire control by Russian drone operators, and once it is physically cut off, the situation for Ukrainian forces in the city will become critically dire. The enemy is unlikely to be able to hold the city if it is supplied only by dirt roads under Russian drone strikes.

If the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not attempt to regain control of the southern flank, Seversk could fall even before the New Year.

▪️From the Petrovska-Vasiukivka line, there were earlier reports of Russian troop successes, but so far without objective verification. In this context, it is possible that further advances will be directed towards Rai-Aleksandrivka.

📌 The enemy’s defense will now be built less around settlements and more around heights and a network of fortifications east of the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration. In Seversk itself, which was rightly called Yama until 1973, the enemy will only try to slow the advance of Russian troops.

In the further offensive on Sloviansk, the role will be played precisely by the neighbors from the Lyman direction.

The Western led and funded NABU prosecutors kicked down the doors of Zelensky's right-hand man, Andrey Yermak's residence.

"Anti-corruption authorities of Ukraine conducted a search at the head of President Zelensky's Office

"NABU and SAP are carrying out investigative actions (searches) at the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine," reported the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine. Andriy Yermak, whose apartment was searched in the government quarter of Kyiv, is considered the right hand of President Volodymyr Zelensky and one of the most influential people in the country. He plays a key role, including in negotiations with the USA.

According to NABU and SAP, the search is being conducted as part of an ongoing investigation. In the case of corruption in "Energoatom" and other enterprises, Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk and Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko have already been removed from their positions, former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov was recently summoned for questioning as a witness, and several suspects have been arrested. The main suspect — Zelensky's trusted associate Timur Mindich — fled abroad."

"Head of Zelensky's Office Andriy Yermak has resigned. This morning his apartment was searched

"I want no one to have any questions about Ukraine. [...] There will be a reboot of the Office of the President of Ukraine. Head of the Office Andriy Yermak has submitted his resignation"

— President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening video address.

Employees of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) searched Yermak's apartment this morning. Earlier, the Head of the President's Office stated that he was not involved in the corruption scandal surrounding the state corporation "Energoatom".

Nevertheless, on November 24, "Ukrainska Pravda" reported that Yermak was implicated and that investigators identify him as "Ali Baba" (this is how the initials of his name and patronymic, Andriy Borysovych Yermak, might have been referred to in conversations by the figures involved in the corruption case).

Daria Kaleniuk, Executive Director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center, told Kyiv Independent:

"Searches are usually conducted immediately before charges are brought against suspects. Therefore, today or very soon we can expect charges against Andriy Yermak."


In recent days, there has been much criticism in Ukraine directed at President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding his attitude towards his trusted aide. Yermak "should have been fired a long time ago," said a deputy from Zelensky's party "Servant of the People" in a comment to Kyiv Independent.

"All this looks bad in the eyes of our European partners. As if the president is protecting his friends. Instead of timely realizing the situation and distancing himself, he appointed him head of the negotiation delegation"


— the deputy said."

"Final chords

New evidence of the advance of Russian troops north of Pokrovsk has appeared on the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd direction.

🔻Current situation:

▪️The enemy presence in Pokrovsk is minimal, but special units of Ukrainian formations conduct suicidal raids on its outskirts. And all this is solely for the sake of showing a picture, no longer even flags.

▪️The Horlivka area, now simply the Mirnograd "cauldron", remains predominantly a "gray zone." Enemy formations try to break through in both directions but suffer multiple drone strikes.

▪️More and more reports are coming from Mirnograd itself that the southern part of the city has come under Russian control. Or at least organized enemy resistance there has ended.

In the north of the city, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to defend near the "Central" mine, but organizing a defense under air strikes in the "cauldron" is not an easy task.

▪️Fighting continues on the flanks of the direction as well. Russian troops are attacking in Rodinskoye and repelling counterattacks by Ukrainian formations from the side of Belitskoye.

Moreover, from the side of Belitskoye, the enemy is trying to break through not only towards Suvorovo but also to the Ivanovka-Dorozhnoye line.

📌 Attempts by the Ukrainian command to retake the flanks and "cut off the salients" will no longer influence the outcome of the battle for the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd agglomeration. At the end of the autumn campaign, Russian troops are completing the clearing of key defensive lines of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in southern Donbass and preparing a bridgehead for further liberation of Russian territory.

"Gulyaypole "Fogs"

The groan of Ukrainian volunteers and "activists" around the situation in Gulyaypole sounds almost louder than the guns of the Russian units storming the approaches.

Enemy resources echo them, already managing to paint the nearest villages and fields in the famous "gray zone," telling stories about "shooting their own." And specialized assault units have pulled out archives from the battles in the Kursk region.

But the "Vostok" group still keeps mysterious silence, publishing footage of strikes, against which enemy units, out of fear, start shooting at each other. Also, the Russian Armed Forces, repelling counterattacks, are advancing on the approaches to Pokrovsk.

🔻Where are the advances?

▪️ Near Orestopil, a large forest area has been cleared, and several forest belts near the Novoaleksandrovka-Tikhoye line have come under control.

▪️ West of Otradnoye, Ukrainian formations lost control over several strongpoints at the crossroads of the Andreevka - Otradnoye road and T0401.

▪️ The front in the central section is also not standing still. There is advancement towards Varvarovka from Rovnopolye.

❗️ There are indeed successes on the approaches to Gulyaypole, and the first footholds in its built-up area occurred more than a week ago. The enemy only now seems to be realizing the scale of the problems. However, it is still too early to rush to "paint" the city. Successes and "Goyda" love silence, and no urgent exclusives are worth even a scratch on a Russian assault vehicle.

"UKR Drone Attacks on Tankers in the Black Sea

During the day, 90 km northeast of the Bosphorus Strait, an explosion occurred on the tanker Kairos (under the Gambian flag). The tanker left the Bosphorus Strait around 12 o'clock and was heading to Novorossiysk.

Turkish media described the cause as "external impact." A couple of hours later, journalists began spreading the version that the tanker was blown up by a mine. However, the real cause is different – the tanker was attacked by Ukrainian Armed Forces drones.

In the evening, reports appeared of another attack on a tanker under the Gambian flag named Virat. In this attack, the enemy used 5 drones, striking the stern of the vessel.

🔻How did the attacks unfold?

▪️ Yesterday at 11 PM, a group of unmanned boats left the area of the Danube River basin. They approached Snake Island, then moved southeast at the time of the UAV strike on Crimea.

▪️ After that, they stopped being detected in international waters parallel to Romanian Constanta, taking positions in a waiting area.

▪️ In the morning, "Kairos" began passing through the strait, after which it headed northeast.

▪️ At about 3:30 PM on November 28, at least one UAV was launched from the vicinity of Odessa, which caused a drone danger alert in Crimea.

▪️ But the drone flew in a different direction. Around 4:30 PM, while already moving in international waters, an attack by drones and UAVs was carried out.

▪️ Two Turkish rescue boats, as well as the Russian tanker Vasily Polenov (which was passing there at about the same time), arrived to assist the crew – according to media reports, 25 people were rescued.

▪️ After the explosion on the tanker, Ukrainian media quickly picked up the story, claiming that a tanker carrying Russian oil was destroyed, and some recalled the Turkish ship damaged near Izmail during the "Geranium" attack on the local port a few days ago.

▪️ It is also reported that at about 6 PM, the tanker "Virat" was hit by several drones. This information is not yet confirmed, but a Turkish rescue vessel was sent to the ship's location. Media report that 19 people were evacuated.

🖍 The very fact of the attack is not new. The Ukrainian side has attacked tankers and civilian vessels before. For example, in summer 2023, the tanker SIG was attacked near the Kerch Strait. There were other attempts when ships were escorted by Black Sea Fleet warships.

🚩 For the past two years, there has been a kind of conditional "non-aggression pact" on ships in the Black Sea due to the grain corridor – until now. Given the need for "victories" considering the situation with Yermak, the Ukrainian Armed Forces need PR and easy targets here and now (almost all recent drone strikes have been unsuccessful, and tankers at sea are an easy target).

🏳️ Attacks on tankers can be seen as a continuation of the campaign conducted by the Ukrainian regime against our oil and gas sector. Further attacks may follow, which raises the question of organizing effective defense and protection not only of our territories but also of the tanker fleet.

❗️ The situation itself is another confirmation that preparation for negotiations with the USA does not guarantee peace. The key curators of the Ukrainian regime are people from an island in northern Europe, and they do not want peace at all. They will do everything to sabotage the negotiations.

"The WhatsApp* messenger may soon be completely blocked in Russia due to non-compliance with Roskomnadzor's requirements, the agency reported today. They emphasized that the platform is used for organizing terrorist activities, recruitment, and fraudulent schemes.

WhatsApp's monthly reach is 96.5 million users (for comparison: Telegram has 91 million users). Recall that in August, RKN blocked voice calls on Telegram and WhatsApp. Previously, messengers Viber and Signal were blocked in Russia on similar grounds.

Amid the restrictions, users are recommended to switch to national services, such as the Max messenger from VK, which already has 55 million registered users. In addition to basic functions, it is planned to integrate it with government services and payment systems. Thus, it could become an analogue of the Chinese WeChat."
