Вилазьте з помиральної ями. Хоча б заради тих, кого цінуєте і любите

Друзі, на фото — воїни 24 ОМБр вішають сітки в Костянтинівці. За цей виїзд їм довелося збивати з автоматів кілька FPV. Їм потрібні детектори дронів, які попереджають про небезпеку та рятують життя. Прошу підтримати: https://t.co/YakLum9pcg Пейпал: kovtunovych@yahoo.com

It’s very simple- Russia DOES NOT CARE about Donbas. The Donbas was simply a useful political tool to wage war against Ukraine as a whole. When they couldn’t reinsert Donbas into Ukraine as tools to control Ukraine’s foreign affairs, they used it as a causus belli to invade

Italy has taken the lead on European transshipment of goods to Russia via Kyrgyzstan. Many Europeans have clamped down on the transshipment racket, foremost the UK, Scandinavia, the Baltics and Poland. The fact that this continues is appalling. Putin and Xi obviously love this...

Тиждень штурмів. Відбилися. Позиції зберегли. Підтверджені втрати ворога: 200-х - 21, 300-х - 34. Кацапи закінчаться рано чи пізно. Треба зберігати спокій і впевненість в своїх силах.

Bottom line: the coming months will prove difficult, and the situation will worsen before things improve or stabilize. But with sustained support, and pressure on Russia, Ukraine can stabilize much of the front over the winter, and is positioned to continue the fight into 2026.

Manpower remains one of Ukraine’s biggest problems. Mobilization is hampered by corruption. AWOLs sap combat strength more than casualties, a worsening issue. The approach to force management, and force generation, leaves much to be desired. 37/

Russian forces reduced equipment expenditures in 2024, because such attacks were ineffective, trading them for a steep increase in manpower expenditure which is not sustainable at this rate. In 2026 Russia will face the problem of its growing casualty vice recruitment rate. 33/

Russian KIA casualty rate has gone up considerably this year, but WIA decreased as a ratio because survival rates are much lower. Wounder are much harder to recover within the kill zone. Russian gains this year came at a steep price of unrecoverable personnel losses. 17/

The net result is a sizable grey zone, where nobody is sure who controls what, making the battlespace difficult to map. Russian and Ukrainian positions are comingled in cities, and tree lines. Hence the situation could be much better or worse than it ‘looks on the map.’ 16/

Overemphasis on drones overlooks that the current dynamic is due to a combination of mining, use of drones, and traditional artillery fires. Hence maintaining adequate supply of arty ammo for Ukraine, especially longer-range munitions remains essential. 11/

An update on the war following a recent trip. Ukrainian forces are holding, but the situation has worsened since July due to mounting offensive pressure. Here I cover some of the negative and positive trends, along with the salient dynamics at the front. Long thread. 1/

How Russia indoctrinates its children so they will want to go to war and die for Putin. @mjluxmoore on yet another facet of the rapid North Koreazation of Russia.

Seems too high, I wonder what Watling’s sources are

Throughout 2025, the part of the front line where Russia has gained the most ground has also been the most under-reported. Now, with Russian troops bearing down on Huliaipole, the problem is too serious to ignore. My run-down for @KyivIndependent: https://t.co/O4SQN8LLhI

П’ять годин пішки, 12 кілометрів крізь поля і постійні атаки дронів — усе заради порятунку дитини. 13-річна Люба залишилася сама у місті Родинське на Донеччині, на яке тиснуть російські війська. Її дім знищили, а батьки зникли безвісти. Дівчинка ховалась у підвалі з сусідами.

From the river to the sea!

09.11.25 Russians, presumably marines, attacked Ukrainian positions near Volodymyrivka, Pokrovsk direction. Using bad weather conditions (fog as usual) they tried to breakthrough but were destroyed. They suffered the next losses: • 3 BTR-82AT; • 1 BMP-3; • 3 turtle tanks

Це ж ще не «колапс фронт» перед зимою з найбільш розбитою енергетикою та тотальною кризою суспільної довіри до влади? «По Дніпру», бо «такий план»? Зато з купою новостворених бригад, полків, корпусів навколо… 🫶

❗️У звʼязку із критичною ситуацією в напрямку Гуляйполя звертаюся до підрозділів, які там тримають оборону. Напишіть нам по допомогу з FPV-дронами, якщо є така потреба. Пошта фонду: apply@sternenkofund.org Щоб ми могли розглянути ваш запит, будь ласка, надайте наступну
