“Jay discussed how much of the pro Russian X accounts are basically Russian based or financed, not shocked
Imagine it, is one of them.”

Telegram prolly not so much/ Telegram has more independents who are not bribable.

X is ok on Ukraine. But in general is awful these days for right wing material. Instead of typing out some useful opinion or information, people are posting images with captions. Same as moron, Putin’s dupe Preston here.

Last week, the price of Urals crude loading at the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk plunged to as low as $36.61 per barrel, the lowest in nearly three years...

...The discount of Urals relative to the international Brent benchmark widened to an average of $23.52 a barrel in the middle of November...
_____________

To avoid oil infrastructure wreckage in Western Siberia, Putin has too move Siberian oil onto his pirate-class tanker fleet. Even at a 10$/barrel loss.

Poot has three choices to keep Siberian oil moving. Pump it onto the Siberian permafrost, pump it onto tankers, pump it into the Black Sea. If Poot pumps lakes of his crude onto the snow covered permafrost, satellites will take photos that will ruin Russia’s world status

Soon Putin will get serious and unleash his real army of millions of crack troops with their mechanized units, consisting of 10s of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles. All of Ukraine will be overrun in a day.

Same as moron, Putin’s dupe Preston here.

More than three years ago I asked each of you why American taxpayers should give a flying fk about this border war in Eastern Europe. I suggested you name the top three reasons why more than $200bn US tax dollars have been given to Kiev in this losing effort. To date I haven't gotten an answer.

‘A-60 laser lab’ is gone. Nice pics.

Celebrate. Sing and Dance.

“New satellite imagery from DniproOsint confirms the destruction of two aircraft during the strike on Taganrog: the rare A‑60 laser lab and an Il‑76 transport plane. The Beriev plant’s final assembly hall also sustained serious damage. An S‑400 position was hit as well, though the full impact is unclear from satellite visuals.”

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, November 24, 2025

US and Ukrainian delegations reportedly narrowed down the initial US-proposed 28-point peace plan to 19 points.[1] An official briefed on the negotiations told the Washington Post that the peace plan to end Russia's war in Ukraine now has 19 points and is based on the original US proposal, but that US and Ukrainian delegations have not yet agreed upon the final number of points.[2] Oleksandr Bevz, advisor to Ukrainian Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak, stated that Ukrainian and US negotiators agreed to remove points unrelated to Ukraine, such as those regarding US-Russian bilateral engagement and those involving Europe.[3] Bevz stated that Ukrainian and US negotiators also agreed to resolve issues about Ukraine's accession to NATO based on NATO's consensus decision-making structure.[4] Bevz stated that Ukrainian negotiators clarified to US officials that Ukraine is willing to start discussions about territory from the current frontline and does not want to engage with Russian offers to swap territory. People familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that European officials noted that the most recent version of the peace plan no longer includes proposals for roughly $100 billion in frozen Russian assets to go toward US-led efforts to rebuild Ukraine.[5] Ukrainian news agency RBK-Ukraine reported, citing unspecified sources, that the delegations adjusted a significant number of issues, such as those related to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), the size of the Ukrainian military, and prisoner of war (POW) and prisoner exchanges.[6] RBK-Ukraine's sources reportedly stated that the delegations agreed that US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should discuss and agree upon points related to territorial issues and Ukraine's accession into NATO. Sources told RBK-Ukraine that the United States will work with Ukraine to agree on the final points of the plan before engaging with European partners on points that directly concern Europe.[7] The sources reportedly stated that the United States will then use “carrots and sticks” to convince Russia of the plan.

CBS reported on November 23 that a US official stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that he will take all of Donetsk Oblast “one way or another” either through a negotiated settlement or military means.[8] The Kremlin has been doubling down on spreading the false narrative that a Russian victory is inevitable, such that Ukraine and the West should immediately acquiesce to Russian demands.[9] Russia's imminent seizure of the rest of Donetsk Oblast is not guaranteed, as Russia's rate of advance has been constrained to a foot pace – even in the past three months when Russian forces have been making relatively quicker gains on the battlefield.[10] ISW continues to assess that the Russian effort to seize Donetsk Oblast will be a yearslong battle that would cost Russia significant amounts of manpower and materiel.[11] Russian forces have not shown an ability to seize large population centers like those in the Fortress Belt – the backbone of Ukrainian defenses in Donetsk Oblast – since 2022 and have tried and failed to seize the Fortress Belt itself since 2014.

Russian officials and ultranationalist voices continue rejecting the original and revised US-proposed peace plan drafts and are attempting to portray Europe as responsible for the Russian rejection. Russian officials and ultranationalist voices have been rejecting the 28-point US peace plan since it was first reported in mid-November 2025 because the proposed plan did not concede to all of Russia's absolutist war demands.[12] Russian officials and ultranationalist voices are simultaneously misrepresenting revisions to the original plan and European involvement as undermining the peace process, likely in an effort to deflect from Russia's own rejection of the deal. Kremlin Presidential Aide Yuriy Ushakov stated on November 24 that the European version of the peace proposal is unacceptable for Russia, and Russian State Duma International Affairs Committee Chairperson Leonid Slutsky claimed that the European proposal would only continue the war.[13] Duma International Affairs Committee Deputy Chairperson Svetlana Zhurova claimed that continued US changes to the peace plan will “drag on” the negotiations “endlessly.”[14] Zhurova claimed that the only two relevant negotiating parties are Russia and the United States, implying that any peace plans must exclude Ukrainian and European inputs.[15] Russian ultranationalist milbloggers, a key pro-war constituency for Russian President Vladimir Putin, continued to reject the modified peace proposal, criticize the United States for moving away from Russian demands, and claim that Europe only wants to continue the war in Ukraine.[16] The milbloggers called for Russia to achieve its war aims by force instead.[17] The Kremlin has refused to meaningfully negotiate in response to all US-led peace initiatives thus far in 2025, and has shown no willingness to make the significant compromises required of a negotiation process.[18] The Kremlin very likely aims to prolong negotiations to end the war to allow Russian forces to continue advancing on the battlefield. The Kremlin likely plans to use Russian advances to further intensify information operations aimed at convincing the West and Ukraine that a Russian military victory is inevitable and that Ukraine should capitulate to Russia's demands. The Kremlin continues to show no willingness to compromise for good-faith peace negotiations and has not set conditions for Russians to accept anything less than a full Russian victory in Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces maintain a limited presence and continue to counterattack within Pokrovsk, indicating that Russian forces likely remain unable to rapidly seize Pokrovsk at this time. Geolocated footage published on November 24 indicates that Ukrainian forces maintain positions along the E-50 Pokrovsk-Pavlohrad highway in northwestern Pokrovsk, where Russian sources previously claimed that Russian forces maintained a presence.[19] Geolocated footage published on November 24 shows Ukrainian forces patrolling in northern Pokrovsk in areas where Russian forces previously infiltrated, and a Ukrainian assault regiment operating in Pokrovsk reported that Ukrainian forces cleared central Pokrovsk of Russian forces.[20] Other Ukrainian military and media sources provided contradictory accounts of reported Ukrainian clearing operations within Pokrovsk, however. Ukrainian Volunteer Army Spokesperson Serhiy Bratchuk and a Ukrainian journalist reported on November 23 and 24 that Ukrainian forces cleared several streets and areas near the Donetska railway and E-50 highway and that Ukrainian forces continue to control some neighborhoods within Pokrovsk.[21] A Ukrainian military source stated on November 23 that Ukrainian forces cleared “specific areas” within Pokrovsk and assessed that these advances may improve the tactical situation for Ukrainian forces within Pokrovsk but would not impact the operational situation in the area.[22] Other Ukrainian military sources refuted on November 24 reports that Ukrainian forces cleared central Pokrovsk.[23] All of the Ukrainian reporting continues to indicate that Ukrainian forces maintain positions and some degree of ability to operate within Pokrovsk despite weeks of intensified Russian efforts to seize the town.

Ukrainian efforts to interdict Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) with drones and the disjointed nature of Russian infiltration tactics likely continue to hinder Russian efforts to mass troops necessary to complete the seizure of Pokrovsk within the town. A Ukrainian military source noted on November 24 that effective Ukrainian drone interdiction of Russian GLOCs has cut logistics to 90 percent of Russian assault groups within Pokrovsk, slowing the pace of the Russian advance within the town.[24] The Ukrainian military source added that Russian forces within Pokrovsk, who number over 500, are relatively uncoordinated and sometimes commit friendly fire incidents. The Ukrainian military source reported that Russian forces still have extensive fire control within Pokrovsk and are employing drones to significantly interdict Ukrainian GLOCs, however. The Ukrainian journalist noted that Russian forces continue to take advantage of poor weather conditions to accumulate forces and reenter areas that Ukrainian forces previously cleared, leading to back-and-forth fighting within the town.[25] ISW continues to assess that seasonal foggy and rainy weather conditions are hindering Ukrainian drone operations in eastern Ukraine, allowing Russian forces to conduct ground operations into and within Pokrovsk with less threats from Ukrainian drone reconnaissance and strikes.[26]

Russian forces continue to leverage their new offensive template, which heavily relies on battlefield air interdiction (BAI) efforts and infiltration tactics, to advance in the Hulyaipole direction. Geolocated footage published on November 24 indicates that elements of the Russian 114th Motorized Rifle Regiment (127th Motorized Rifle Division, 5th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Eastern Military District [EMD]) seized Zatyshshya (roughly 2.6 kilometers east of Hulyaipole).[27] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) also stated that Russian forces seized the settlement.[28] A Ukrainian servicemember stated on November 24 that fighting has begun for Zatyshshya.[29] Russian milbloggers, including a Kremlin-affiliated milblogger, claimed that Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been operating in Hulyaipole for a week (since roughly November 17).[30] One Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces are assaulting the settlement, but another milblogger directly refuted this claim.[31] Russian forces have been using prolonged BAI campaigns to degrade Ukrainian drone-based defenses and logistics; infiltration missions to identify, worsen, and exploit weak points in Ukrainian defenses; and mass small group assaults to make rapid advances and force Ukrainian forces to withdraw.[32] Reports of limited Russian infiltrations into Hulyaipole are in line with this new campaign design.

Belarusian balloons continue incursions in NATO airspace in Lithuania and Latvia. Lithuanian National Crisis Management Center (NKMC) Head Vilmantas Vitkauskas reported on November 24 that the Vilnius International Airport temporarily suspended operations twice on November 24 due to an unspecified number of balloons flying towards the airport from Belarusian airspace.[33] Vitkauskas stated that authorities detected over 40 balloons over Lithuanian airspace and about 30 Belarusian balloons in Latvian airspace overnight on November 23 to November 24.[34] The Lithuanian Border Service previously closed land border crossings with Belarus on the evening of October 26 due to repeated aerial incursions into Lithuanian airspace, but reopened the border after midnight on November 20.[35] ISW continues to assess that Russia is increasingly engaging in covert and overt attacks against Europe and the ongoing Russian airspace violations are likely part of ”Phase Zero” – Russia's broader informational and psychological condition-setting phase – to prepare for a possible NATO-Russia war in the future.[36] ISW continues to assess that Belarus is Russia's de facto cobelligerent in the war in Ukraine, thus, Belarusian incursions into NATO airspace are part of Russia's broader Phase Zero effort.[37]

Assessed Russian advances: Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets reported on November 24 that small Russian infantry groups advanced up to the Vovchansk cemetery in southwestern Vovchansk (northeast of Kharkiv City).[49]

Russian forces continued attacks northeast of Kharkiv City near Vovchansk and Synelnykove on November 23 and 24.[50]

An officer of a Ukrainian brigade operating in the Vovchansk direction reported that Russian forces are attacking on the western outskirts of Vovchansk and attempting to bypass Vovchansk from its western outskirts and near Synelnykove, Tsehelne, and Lyman (all south of Vovchansk).[51] The officer reported that Russian forces are using rocket artillery to destroy northern Vovchansk, likely in an effort to make it challenging for Ukrainian forces to retain positions in the settlement. The officer added that Russian forces have to reach the frontline on foot rather than on vehicles over several days due to Ukrainian fire control of Russian ground lines of communication (GLOCs). Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets reported on November 24 that Russian forces likely intend to degrade Ukrainian defenses in southern Vovchansk by bypassing them in the forest area west of Vovchansk, accumulating manpower for assaults in the southwestern part of the city, and interdicting Ukrainian GLOCs to Staryi Saltiv and Rubizhne (both southwest of Vovchansk).[52]

Order of Battle: Mashovets reported that elements of the Russian 128th Motorized Rifle Brigade (44th Army Corps [AC], Leningrad Military District [LMD]) are operating in southern Vovchansk.[53] Elements of the Chechen Zapad-Akhmat Battalion (reportedly of the Southern Military District [SMD]) and the Kurchaloyevsky Raion Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) department are reportedly operating near Vovchansk.[54] Elements of the 83rd Motorized Rifle Regiment (69th Motorized Rifle Division, 6th Combined Arms Army [CAA], LMD) are reportedly operating in the Kharkiv direction.[55]

Russian forces recently advanced in the Velykyi Burluk direction.

Russian forces attacked southeast of Velykyi Burluk toward Kolodyazne on November 23 and 24.[59]

Mashovets stated that elements of the 6th CAA (LMD), whose area of responsibility (AoR) spans in the Velykyi Burluk direction are focusing on offensive operations in the Milove-Krasne Pershe area (northeast to southeast of Velykyi Burluk).[60] Mashovets assessed that Russian forces will likely intensify offensive operations toward Krasne Pershe and Novovasylivka (both southeast of Velykyi Burluk) in the near future and may also intensify offensive operations near Ambarne (northeast of Velykyi Burluk). Mashovets reported that Russian forces redeployed the 18th Motorized Rifle Division (11th AC, LMD) and elements of the 72nd Motorized Rifle Division (44th AC, LMD) from the Vovchansk direction to the Velykyi Burluk direction.[61]

Drone operators of the 1st Guards Tank Army [GTA] (Moscow Military District [MMD]) reportedly continue to strike Ukrainian ammunition dumps and forces near Kupyansk.[67]

Russian forces continued offensive operations in the Borova direction on November 24 but did not advance.

Russian forces attacked east of Borova near Nadiya and southeast of Borova near Hrekivka and Novoyehorivka on November 23 and 24.[68]

The commander of a Ukrainian battalion operating in the Borova direction stated that Russian forces are trying to infiltrate between Ukrainian positions in small groups to gain a foothold in the Ukrainian near rear.[69] The commander stated that Russian forces are exploiting foggy weather to advance but that Ukrainian forces have developed new, unspecified drone technology that enables them to conduct reconnaissance during foggy weather. The commander stated that Ukrainian forces are also taking advantage of foggy weather to conduct rotations and facilitate logistics. The commander’s statements are in line with other Ukrainian military officials’ statements about Russian tactics throughout eastern Ukraine.[70]

Synehubov reported on November 24 that Ukrainian efforts to evacuate civilians continue but that 1,000 residents remain in the Borova direction.[71]
