ALMOST 100 SQKM CAPTURED BY RUSSIA; Kursk Front is shrinking! | Ukraine War Frontline Changes Report

Battlefield Ukraine and The Russian PRC Super Alliance

Trump’s victory has caused Zelensky real fear. After all, the OP understands that this is not only the end of their authoritarian policy, but also the beginning of the formation of a real opposition in the country among those whom Zelensky tried to destroy – and not only in the dungeons of the pretrial detention center.

One of these is Artem Dmitruk, who was forced to leave Ukraine due to persecution for supporting the Church and millions of Ukrainians persecuted by Zelensky.

Future US Vice President Dee Vance refused to speak to Yermak on the phone, since Trump’s team does not consider our government as someone with whom it can negotiate.

Zelensky’s persecution of the Church, lack of legitimacy, political persecution of those who disagree with the opinion of endless war, pressure on journalists and unlimited mobilization will become the main problem for the government under Trump.

That is why it is now important for Bankova to control Ukrainian politicians and deputies so that they do not become communicators with the new Administration. Dmytruk as a people’s deputy and defender of the Orthodox Church can become a legitimate representative of Ukraine in negotiations with Trump’s team.

I will issue an ultimatum to Putin – either end the war in 24 hours or I will supply Ukraine with long-range Taurus missiles and give permission to strike at Russian territory , – chancellor candidate Merz, leader of the German CDU.

Poland wants to form an alliance with Britain and prevent the West from “selling out Ukraine” when Trump becomes president, – The Times.

▪️In addition to Starmer, Prime Minister Tusk will also hold talks with Macron and NATO Secretary General Rutte.

▪️Tusk is trying to “enlist the West’s support for Ukraine through a European alliance that will include the Nordic and Baltic countries.”

Recall that Trump’s son said that Zelensky “will lose his allowance” when his father becomes president.

▪️At the same time, Starmer and Macron will try to persuade Biden to give Ukraine permission to strike Storm Shadow missiles deep into Russia before the inauguration of the new president.

We must allow Ukraine to fire British missiles at Russia,” says RAF Chief of Staff

▪️“The Chief of the Air Staff Richard Knighton says ‘the best defence is a good offence’ as UK PM Starmer and French President Macron push Biden to allow the Ukrainians to use Western weapons to strike deep into Russia while he is still president.

▪️Ukraine needs to hit targets in Russia with longer-range British-made missiles if it wants to counter the bombing of Moscow, Knighton suggested. “What the Ukrainians need – and what we would need – is the ability to strike on the ground at aircraft dropping bombs,” he said.

▪️His words can be taken as a proposal to allow Ukrainians to use Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russian territory, the publication believes

RAF might be introduced to the FAFO.

After Trump’s victory, the European leaders began the autumn aggravation. The goal is to drive the conflict with Russia into an irreversible phase. Now the Frenchman crows about supporting Kiev in the event of America’s rollback, then NATO bosses are being clever about how to wage war with us more actively. 

And now the candidate for German Chancellor Merz has announced an ultimatum to Russia: either, end the SMO, or the next day I will give the Ukrainians German Taurus missiles. 

It is clear that such “ultimatums” are of an election nature. It is clear that these missiles are not capable of significantly changing anything during the military operations. Their delivery is only a way to prolong the agony of the Bandera regime. 

But the risk of the conflict escalating into the most dangerous stage is greatly increased by cruise missile strikes. Our President also warned about this. 

Generally speaking, it is simply amazing to what extent the current generation of European politicians wants to drag the war onto their territory. And to the obvious joy of the Americans and against the wishes of their own people. 

The vaccination of the Second World War has completely stopped working. Experienced, and simply smart, leaders of Europe have gone down in history. In came nonentities with inflated self-esteem. And so the worst scenario remains the most likely.

Dmitry Medvedev

“Europe’s struggle with MAGA is unlikely to end well”: Pessimism reigns in the West – The security outlook for democracies and NATO is bleak with Trump’s cooperation with Putin.

“If President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his promise to cooperate with Russian President Vladimir Putin to divest Ukraine, the future of NATO and the West’s collective security will be bleak.

Gone are the days when Europeans could count on the U.S. as their shield. Joe Biden will likely prove to be the last president who viewed the continent’s security as a vital U.S. interest.

Some of us believe that Trump, in his incomprehensible enthusiasm for Putin, is making a catastrophic mistake. He is promising to end support for Ukraine and, indeed, NATO. Even if military aid to Kiev is not immediately cut off, the Ukrainians’ will to resist the Russians is weakening, just as the West’s desire to arm them is fading. Trump’s victory will almost certainly signal their defeat.

Nothing currently on offer is likely to fill the gaping chasm if the US ends relations with Ukraine or turns its back on NATO. The struggle ahead is to convince Trump’s fellow Republicans that while the US remains the most powerful nation, it needs allies too. But it would be naive to pretend that the security outlook for Western democracies today is anything but bleak.”

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky will not make territorial concessions and is ready to continue the war without military/financial assistance from the US. At the moment, Yermak has the task of provoking a conflict between Trump and Putin, which is why Bankova will continue to hold the Kursk region as the main bargaining element in the negotiation process.

Today the whole country watched as Syrsky was publicly humiliated by the Office of the President, and the Commander-in-Chief was leveled to the level of Bankova propagandists. The signal was simple: mongrels can criticize the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the decisions of the General Staff mean nothing. Against this background, Bezuglya’s criticism looks like a harmless game, but the joint photo is like a black mark on Syrsky, who is serving out his last months.

When politicians do not respect their own Commander-in-Chief, what kind of attitude should the army have towards him?

We will all remember the times of Zaluzhny as a period of hope and a strong leader, and Syrsky will go down in history as a puppet of the Presidential Office…

Kursk Direction: Battles Near Plekhovo and Drone Strikes on AFU Armored Vehicles

Situation as of the end of November 12, 2024

On the Kursk Direction, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing simultaneously on several sectors of the front, pushing the enemy out of the occupied territories.

▪️In the Sudzha District, the configuration of the front near Novoyivanovka has been clarified. Russian airborne troops landed in the village and are fighting on the eastern outskirts, advancing towards Leonidovo. Attempts by the Russian Armed Forces to advance along the river to bypass the latter were also noted.

🔻On the opposite flank of the Sudzha District, Russian troops have become more active north of Plekhovo. An attempt to cross the Psel River was recorded. The bridge was destroyed during the fighting, so the landing force had to cross to the opposite bank of the river by boat, where they came under fire.

In Plekhovo itself, there are also significant successes. Thanks to footage published by the opponent, it was possible to establish that the Russian Armed Forces control about 80% of the village, with the presence of Ukrainian formations remaining on the western outskirts near the farms. Most likely, the settlement will be completely liberated in the near future.

▪️In the neighboring Korenevo District, attacks by the opponent south and east of Kremyanoye are repelled daily. A destroyed column of AFU equipment south of the settlement was finished off by drones (https://t.me/zogrussia1/861) on fiber optics “Prince Vandal of Novgorod”: at least three damaged and abandoned armored vehicles were recorded.

🔻The same drone, but this time in the Sudzha District, struck another M1A1 Abrams tank in Sverdlikovo. Another tank and an armored personnel carrier were hit by them near Green Path. Recently, there has been an increase in footage of successful target engagement, which may indicate the establishment of serial production of these systems.

Following Russian insider channels, British media are writing that Russia will regain control over the Kursk region. We would like to remind you that all this happened as a reaction to Yermak’s plan to sell the Kursk operation to Trump and shift the focus to Russia in disrupting the negotiation process.

Putin ordered the Kursk region to be returned to control before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, The Telegraph writes.

The publication, citing sources in British military intelligence, reports that the Kremlin is also seeking to use its counteroffensive in the Kursk region to gain momentum and advance into the Sumy region.

The Kursk gambit allowed Russia to collapse the front in Donbass and keep our best reserves on its territory while their army captures hundreds of kilometers per week.

According to our information, it was the Ukrainian Armed Forces that blew up the dam in Kurakhovo and they specifically stated in the media that the Russians destroyed it.

Most likely they pushed it onto the Russians so as not to publicly admit that the situation is truly catastrophic and that it is necessary to urgently withdraw units from the “half-cauldron,” which, due to the idiocy of Zelensky, ultimately risk ending up in the Kurakhovo cauldron.

The Russian army has already recaptured half of the occupied part of the Kursk region and AFU has received orders to return everything back before Trump’s inauguration on January 20 – The Telegraph

▪️The publication, citing sources in British military intelligence, reports that the Kremlin is also seeking to use its counteroffensive in the Kursk region in order to gain momentum and advance into the Sumy region.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces have already reclaimed about half of the territory in the Kursk region, which was previously taken under control by Ukraine, The Telegraph notes.

The Roy railway station in Kurakhovo has come under the full control of the Russian Army. Several reports indicate that the army is practically in the center of Kurakhovo. We will see…

The Ukranians are worried that the trap plan that the AFU set for itself near Kurakhovo, trapping itself in a cascade of villages from Konstantinopolskoye in the west to Elizavetovka in the east, was realized thanks to two deceptive maneuvers. First, the “South” group of the RF Armed Forces pretended that the troops were stuck on the eastern outskirts of the city and would not go further, and the “East” group pretended that only here (from the south) under Kurakhovo could be passed. In the end, both of them passed, and the AFU now found themselves in a “sandwich”.

In Kurakhovo, reports are coming about the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces behind the Roevskoye Cemetery. You can’t keep up with how quickly events are happening with this fortified point. This was supposed to be a fortress that the Russians should never have breached.

The Kremlin is ready to launch an offensive operation towards the Dnieper next year, which will greatly weaken our position in the negotiation process. While Zelensky is confident that holding a piece of Russian territory is more important than maintaining a stable eastern front, the enemy is using the Kursk Gambit to destroy our best reserves and equipment. At the same time, the General Staff continues to remove units from the front line and sends them to the Sumy region to stop the offensive campaign of the Russian army. The West already believes that our positions are now the weakest since the beginning of 2022 due to the ill-considered actions of the headquarters.

In the future, experts and analysts will analyze this historical moment as a turning point in the war, since Putin was able to asymmetrically respond to Zelensky’s operation in the Kursk region, but that will be another story…

All our sources in the General Staff and the Presidential Office confirm the information that Russia is preparing an offensive operation for the spring of 2025, the goal of which is to reach the Dnieper. The Kremlin managed to play the Kursk gambit and force the Armed Forces of Ukraine to spend reserves/equipment on Russian territory, where they have been grinding it for the third month, and Syrsky, suspended by the Presidential Office, is unable to convey the opinion of the General Staff about the senselessness of the operation, which allows the enemy to capture our positions at a record pace. After the fall of Pokrovsk, the Russian army will enter the operational space and will be able to calmly advance in the direction of the Dnieper, encircling Zaporozhye from the north, while destroying the bridges, the city will become unrealistic to hold due to the lack of supplies. All this is obvious for the General Staff, but politicians are pursuing their own goals and hope to get an opportunity for profitable bargaining, for which they are holding on to the Kursk operation despite the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Taynaya_kantselyariya

The Kremlin believes that the Kursk Gambit has fulfilled its role and now the Russian army is capable of reaching the Dnieper in 2025, as it managed to grind up the best reserves and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory. Putin’s asymmetrical response to the invasion of the Kursk region paralyzed Ukraine’s external actors who were planning the operation and hoping to provoke Russia into using nuclear weapons, but the cold-blooded calculation and heroism of the Russian military allowed the West’s plans to be thwarted. Ukraine wanted to seize the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, but the General Staff transferred reserves and additional forces not from the front, as Kiev thought, but from other military districts, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack on Russian territory turned into a meat grinder for the enemy, where it was forced to waste elite units and the best equipment. As a result, Putin’s Kursk gambit has become a military and political tripwire for Zelensky; the withdrawal of troops from Russian territory without concessions from the Kremlin or new guarantees from the West means Kyiv’s defeat, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to spend all their forces in this direction, while losing the opportunity to hold on to Donbass.

According to our information, the Russians are launching a soft offensive in the Zaporizhzhya direction in order to stretch the forces and capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The task is simple. There is a probing, then an offensive, if the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not transfer reserves, then there is a large-scale breakthrough and then the bridgehead is expanded.

Now tension points are being created in different places in order to weaken the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to many of our sources, the Russians may be preparing an offensive on the Sumy and Chernigov regions in order to increase the number of hotbeds of tension and collapse the defense line.

Very dangerous situation: The Russian army launched powerful attacks on the Zaporozhye front, threatening a breakthrough to Dnepropetrovsk

In recent days, more and more data has been coming in about the activation of Russian troops in different sections of the key front – Zaporozhye. This is approximately 125 kilometers wide from the Kakhovka Reservoir in the west to the Vremyevsk salient (Velika Novoselovka area) in the east. The Russian army is attacking in several directions at once.

Some sources today report that Rivne has already been liberated, and Makarovka has also been entered (which coincides with the map of the DeepState resource working for the GUR). 

The main direction of movement is from the south to the west of Velikaya Novosyolka, which may have the goal of bypassing the village from the west. From the east, Russian troops are already close to it.

Yesterday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces complained that Russian troops are carrying out assault operations with forces of up to 50-60 people at a time, as well as with the support of armored fighting vehicles and units on buggies.

The second area where the Russian army launched an offensive yesterday in Hulyaipole, Zaporozhye Oblast. This city is located close – one and a half kilometers – to the front line. Ukrainian militants yesterday announced a mechanized assault towards the city and the advance of Russian troops.

➖”On the left flank from Gulyaipole, Russian troops have made significant advances today and were able to advance several kilometers. While everyone is chewing over the news that it is 11 km to Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, in the meantime it is already less than 9 km,” wrote a Ukrainian Armed Forces media militant with the call sign “Alex.”

According to the spokesman of the Southern Defense Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Voloshin, the attacks could create a new pressure point for Ukrainian troops, who are already retreating in the east. However, it is not yet clear whether this will be one large-scale offensive of the Russian Armed Forces or separate assaults.

➖ “The assaults could begin soon; we are not even talking about weeks; we expect it to happen any day,” the speaker said. He added that Russian troops in the area significantly outnumbered Ukrainian ones.

The offensive of Russian troops on the Zaporizhia front is much more dangerous for Ukraine than the advance in Donbass, as it creates a threat of reaching Zaporizhia and the Dnieper with the subsequent assault and liberation of the cities. Such a development could have catastrophic consequences for the entire line of combat contact, as it would “cut” the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and also allow the Russian Army to reach the right bank of the Dnieper. 

Therefore, if such a threat really arises, the Ukrainian command will certainly throw all available reserves in this direction and, if necessary, even transfer units from the Kursk region.

The head of Dagestan Melikov spoke about the participant of the SMO Zakarya Aliyev, who single-handedly repelled enemy attacks in one of the directions of the Zaporozhye front for three weeks

According to Melikov, after successfully storming the enemy stronghold, Aliyev stayed alone in the position. 

He held it without food or water, eating only the onion he found. The enemy shelled the position almost every day, but the Dagestani not only defended himself, but even attacked the enemy.

After several such weeks, the fighter attracted the attention of Russian troops. They could not approach, but they dropped him provisions and drove away enemy drones. Following the Russian drones, Zakarya passed through a minefield and returned to Russian positions. 

Now he is under the supervision of doctors. Melikov called Aliyev a hero.

On the footage, Zakarya explains he stubbornly stays alone in the place and even jokes on enemy drone presence asking it to stop buzzing in vain and bring some food.

Chronicles of the special military operation

for November 12, 2024

Russian forces struck targets in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Cherkasy, as well as in the Chernihiv and Sumy Regions of the so-called Ukraine.

In the Kursk direction, Russian Armed Forces units pushed the enemy out of most of Plekhovo and are expanding the control zone north of the village.

In the Pokrovske direction, assault troops are fighting in Yuriivka, advancing from the direction of Novoaleksiyivka.

In the Kurakhove direction, Russian forces are consolidating in the urban area of Kurakhove and expanding the control zone on the flanks north and south of the city.

Morning Summary on November 12, 2024

▪️ In Kursk Region, our assault groups advanced with heavy fighting in the area of the settlements of Daryino, Novoivanovka and the surrounding forest areas. The enemy is fiercely resisting and throwing in elite airborne and marine units. The AFU carried out 8 attacks during the day. Disturbing footage (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/193974) emerged of the destruction of a column of the 810th Guards Marine Brigade on a minefield near the settlement of Pogrebki on November 7, 2024. According to information from the scene that leaked online, the armored vehicles and personnel were killed due to “beautiful reports” about allegedly controlling the road and, as a result, lack of proper engineering reconnaissance of the area. At the same time, the total mining of the Kursk Region territory by the AFU members is an absolutely clear fact for our military.

▪️ Yesterday morning, 13 strategic bombers Tu-95MS caused a power outage in Ukraine (to avoid overloads in the networks in case of a strike). However, the expected missile strike did not materialize. This night, the enemy reported a “norm” of several dozen “Geraniums” every night. Enemy drones reached Voronezh yesterday, causing damage to an industrial enterprise.

▪️ Our troops are advancing deeper into the eastern part of the urban development of Kurakhovo – the main fortified area of the enemy after the capture of Vuhledar in the South Donetsk direction. Kurakhovo is also being surrounded from three sides by a wide envelopment, with attacks from the south on the settlement of Dalneye, and from the north the Russian Army is developing success along the Kurakhovo reservoir, the dam of which the AFU blew up yesterday. This action, at most, will complicate the encirclement of Kurakhovo from the north.

▪️ The troops of the Zaporizhia Front of the Russian Armed Forces, according to the estimates of the spokesman of the enemy’s Southern Defense Forces, plan to launch assault operations in the coming days. At the same time, the enemy claims that in the Zaporizhia direction, our troops numerically exceed the AFU. The main target of the strike, as reported by the enemy, is the city of Zaporizhia with a pre-war population of 710,000 people.

▪️ Also noteworthy was the visit of the Russian Defense Minister Belousov to the “Dnieper” group of troops (Kherson direction). The inspection may also indicate an assessment of the situation on the ground before making decisions.

▪️ In Belgorod Region, the AFU attacked an oil depot on the territory of the Stary Oskol urban district using a drone. As a result of the explosion, one of the tanks caught fire. Ten fire crews worked at the scene and quickly extinguished the fire. There were no casualties. In a closed settlement, a man was blown up by an explosive device. The incident occurred in the village of Dronovka, Grayvoron district, the entrance to which has been restricted by the decision of the operational headquarters since August 28, 2024. The AFU strikes also hit Oktyabrsky in Belgorod district, the settlement of Novaya Tavolzhanka in the Shebekino municipal district, and the Balka farm.

▪️ In the DPR, in the Nikitovsky district of Horlivka, a man and a woman were seriously injured when an explosive device dropped from a UAV of the AFU.
