"AFU Attacks in the Black Sea: the World Doesn't Smell Like That

The attempt at a terrorist attack in Crimea was not the only action taken by the Ukrainian regime in the Black Sea region over the past weekend. On November 29-30, as soon as the "Trump scandal" was mentioned, the Armed Forces of Ukraine significantly increased their activity.

🔻Attack Timeline:

▪️ In the evening of November 28, the main event was the attack by Ukrainian formations on two tankers flying the Gambian flag, which were transporting Russian oil products, using seven unmanned boats.

▪️ On the night of November 29, the Ukrainian side launched more than two dozen UAVs in the direction of Crimea. All of them were shot down primarily in the area of Feodosia. The target was the "Kafa" 220 kV substation.

▪️ In the early morning at the KTK terminal in Novorossiysk, an explosion occurred. A Ukrainian UAV crashed into a buoy nearby, causing a detonation.

▪️ On November 30, weather conditions deteriorated, preventing the AFU from carrying out a mass launch of cheap UAVs. However, rocket UAVs were detected. One was shot down in the area of the Park of Victory in Sevastopol, and due to the falling debris, a 15-year-old girl sustained serious injuries.

▪️ In addition, two Neptune PRCs were attempted to strike the Belbek airfield, but both rockets were shot down shortly before reaching the sea several kilometers above the water.


🖍 Note how actively Ukrainian formations began working in the context of the visit of the Ukrainian delegation to the United States, as well as the corruption scandal. These attacks aim to divert both their own and Western public attention and showcase results in meaningless PR campaigns.

❗️ However, the key point is that the opponent is increasingly targeting civilian objects and people. In Sevastopol, the injured girl is in critical condition, and the attack on the tankers led to an ecological disaster along the Turkish coast. And they are clearly not going to stop there.

Among the participants in the negotiations on the peace plan in Florida is U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He hinted at what the final agreement for Ukraine should include:

"The issue is not just about ending the war — it is about ending it in such a way that a mechanism and a path forward are created, allowing them [Ukrainians] to remain independent and sovereign and never again experience war"

— said Rubio at the beginning of the meeting, according to New York Post.

He continued this thought after the negotiations:

"We also want to provide Ukraine with long-term security guarantees so that it is never again subjected to an invasion"

Head of the Ukrainian delegation Rustem Umerov expressed gratitude to the U.S. for its support, but did not comment on what progress was achieved:

"Our goal is a prosperous, strong Ukraine. We discussed all important issues that are significant for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, and the U.S. expressed extraordinary support"

"Former General Valeriy Zaluzhny accused Zelensky of poor preparation for the Russian attack in 2022

Pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is rapidly increasing. Due to a corruption scandal in the government, the president was forced to dismiss the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak. Now the former military leader Valeriy Zaluzhny raises a topic that is also extremely unpleasant for Zelensky: insufficient preparation for the Russian attack in February 2022.

Valeriy Zaluzhny, now the Ukrainian ambassador to London, served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 2021 to 2024. He sharply criticized Zelensky's government in his authored column for the British newspaper The Telegraph:

“In August 2021, I was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. [...] The Russian army was rapidly increasing its troop numbers. The Kremlin increased its military budget year after year, invested resources in the defense industry, and purchased more weapons and equipment. Meanwhile, the opposite was happening in Ukraine: in 2021, the army was allocated even less money than the previous year. Because of this, our military department faced the full-scale invasion the following year with a huge shortage of everything—from personnel to weapons.”

Indeed, after the Russian invasion, Zelensky was repeatedly criticized for realizing the threat too late and not taking sufficient measures to prepare the army and protect the population. But due to the ongoing war, discussion of possible mistakes was postponed to a future peaceful time—until now.

📌 Zaluzhny is extremely popular in Ukraine and was considered a potential rival to Zelensky. During the months-long battle for Bakhmut, a conflict arose between the president and the commander-in-chief: Zaluzhny advocated for troop withdrawal and warned of heavy losses, while Zelensky feared the negative impact of Bakhmut’s fall on international support for Ukraine. Many experts today support Zaluzhny’s position.

Despite criticizing Zelensky’s war preparations, Zaluzhny also opposes a hasty agreement with Russia. On possible territorial concessions, he writes:

“Let’s imagine that Russia fully captured Donetsk region. The war still would not end because its political goal would not be achieved. Russia aims to create conditions that will lead to the disintegration of Ukraine simultaneously on military, economic, and political levels.”

The federal government, despite resistance from Belgium, is betting that the European Union will be able to use frozen Russian state assets to provide Ukraine with a loan of 140 billion euros. For now, the government is counting on negotiations between the European Commission and Belgium, which is demanding guarantees against possible lawsuits."

"Enemy expelled from Volchansk

Units of the "North" grouping are advancing in the north of Kharkiv region and developing attacks on the front line of Prylipka-Lyman, achieving success. Thus, by December 1, the northern part of Vilchyi came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

On the eastern flank, the situation has not changed. On the front line of Melovoe-Ambarne-Dvurichansky, battles continue in the forest belts, where Russian units are operating in small and very small groups.

However, the central event was the liberation of Volchansk, about which it was reported to Vladimir Putin. The enemy clung to the south-eastern outskirts from the side of Volchansk Hamlets until the end, but on November 30, the remnants of the city were cleared of Ukrainian forces.

Breaking the enemy's resistance, soldiers of the 82 msp 69 msd, 1009 msp 68 msd 6 OA, battalion "Akhmat-West", 30 msp 72 msd, 128 omsbr 44 AK and 116 Guard Brigade established control over the city.

❗️ However, Ukrainian formations are likely to try to "dispute" the statements, sending groups with flags in one direction or publishing archival footage. However, this will only once again deceive their own command, which will be in the interest of the Russian Armed Forces.

"Flags near Gulyaypole

While attention is focused on the East Zaporozhsky direction on Gulyaypole, units of the "East" grouping have occupied several more populated areas. The advance is taking place across a wide front, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing positions east of Gaychur.

🔻Where has the enemy been pushed back?

▪️Recently, Vladimir Putin was informed about the start of urban combat and the successes of Russian forces near Gulyaypole. The initial "hook" was achieved two weeks ago, and the enemy is now losing house by house.

▪️In the fields north of the garrison, the 37th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade has liberated Dobropole and is close to advancing into Varvarovka. Both of these populated areas are located on the eastern bank of the Gaychur river, with the enemy having established a defensive line on the western bank.

If the Ukrainian Armed Forces fail to hold this line, another wide breakthrough in the defense line can be confirmed. Therefore, the enemy is trying to strengthen the line Rozhdestvenskoye — Vozdvyzhovka. Although the approach of the front line and the increase in the number of drone attacks are not guaranteed, it is not certain that they will have enough engineering equipment and labor force.

▪️East of Gulyaypole, the 38th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade has established final control over Zelenyy and Gaim. This small village, like the neighboring Vysokoye, is located on high ground and has tactical value in the battles for Gulyaypole.

📌The situation for Ukrainian formations continues to deteriorate: Mежdurechie they have almost lost, east of Gaychur remains only Varvarovka. And both roads to Gulyaypole are under drone attacks, making the transfer of reinforcements a non-trivial task.

❗️It seems that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to increase their forces for the defense of Gulyaypole in time. Previously, several "firefighting teams" from the 225th and 33rd OShP were transferred to the city, but so far they have only managed to publish archival footage, presented as supposed "successes".

"Flags over Krasnoarmeysk

On the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd direction, the battles for the agglomeration are coming to an end. Recently, Vladimir Putin was informed about the completion of the battles for Pokrovsk, and soon Mirnograd will be next.

🔻What is happening on this direction?

▪️The city of Pokrovsk, now referred to as Krasnoarmeysk in reports, has been officially liberated, and videos have been published in the Network with the raising of flags. At the same time, even official sources state that the clearing operations continue on the outskirts.

▪️The southern part of the neighboring Mirnograd has also fallen under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, and in the surrounding fields, there are fewer unverified strongpoints, where Ukrainian formations' members are occasionally found.

▪️There are also videos from the city with a large number of captured members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the remnants of the enemy's forces are trying to concentrate in the northern part of the city.

▪️Outside the 'bottleneck,' battles are ongoing on the Grisino-Rodinskoye line, where scattered groups of both retreating and units that failed to break through into the agglomeration remain in the fields.

▪️North of the 'bottleneck' — in the area of Belitskoye — there is a relatively high concentration of enemy forces. From time to time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launch counterattacks towards Dorozhnoye and Sukhetskoye.

▪️In the vicinity of Shakhovo, Russian units have significantly advanced both in the village itself and in the surrounding areas of Sofiyevka, although the information coming from there is still contradictory.

▪️The western front of Udachnoye-Kotlyino remains static, and battles continue on the outskirts of Grisino. There, the Russian Armed Forces managed to secure two southern-eastern streets as early as the twenties of November during the battle for Pokrovsk.

📌 After the clearing of the agglomeration, the Russian Armed Forces will have prospects for advancing further to the northwest, where the targets may include not only the exit to the Dnepropetrovsk region on another segment, but also Dobropole in the LNR.

Of course, the attention of the Russian command will clearly be directed towards the cradle of the 'Russian Spring' in the form of Slaviansk and Kramatorsk, with the capture of which one can speak about the liberation of Donbas.

"Successes in Stepnogorsk

On the Zaporizhzhia front, Russian forces are consolidating in Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka, where armored groups with amphibious troops were able to "sneak in" earlier. At the same time, reports are coming in about the encirclement of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Stepnogorsk.

🔻What is happening on the front?

▪️ Reports from the western flank indicate successful advances by Russian forces further north. In Stepnogorsk, the enemy has been encircled in the northern part of the village in the multi-story building quarter, about which publicly stated Valeriy Gerasimov on December 1st.

Later, footage emerged confirming the stormtroopers of the Russian Armed Forces advancing to the multi-story buildings in the north of the populated area. The attack took place under the cover of fog, which allowed avoiding strikes from Ukrainian drones.

▪️ In the neighboring Primorsky, the situation remains extremely severe: the village is almost destroyed, and any movement of personnel from both sides results in the almost immediate destruction of buildings. Under such conditions, physical control over the populated area is extremely difficult.

▪️ To the east, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in Novodanilovka. There, Russian units are reinforcing and consolidating in the boundaries of the village located several kilometers south of Orekhov.

▪️ In the event that forces can be increased in Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka, it would be possible to talk about the potential possibility of a storm on Orekhov. However, this is hardly feasible at the moment, as Armed Forces of Ukraine have significantly strengthened the defense of Orekhov in recent years.

📌 The exact configuration of control zones on most sections remains hidden "in the fog of war." However, noticeable successes are observed on the neighboring Eastern Zaporizhzhia front, and they are inevitably going to affect the overall situation on the front in the Zaporizhzhia steppes.
