Summary of the Situation on the Ukraine Front Line: The Fat Lady Sings
[Note: What we see in the media and in the summary for the past week, is that the Ukrainian soldiers are not fighting. This summary uses different language. It talks about ‘the former Ukraine’ and if the Ukrainian soldiers try to break through the cauldrons, it is more like a PR stunt or an imitation of activity than a real attempt to break through. We read regularly of leaflets being dropped to tell the Ukrainian men how to surrender, as well as cell phone instructions are available.
What has also been clarified this past week is that Russia will not make any peace agreements with Ukraine, as there is no one authorised to do so. Mr Putin made it clear that they need international community agreement to finish this war, and this is the reason that they are talking to the US.
Dmitry Medvedev stated, “The corrupt government surrounding the expired Kiev clown has crumbled. He may still be sitting in his office, spewing cocaine from his nose, but he won’t be the one who signs the peace treaty. The buffoon is illegitimate. The collapse of his system is inevitable. ”
The various media states that this is truly a question of ‘sitting in his office’ as nobody really interacts with Zelensky now that the reality of the corruption is in the open. What I find interesting is that the Ukrainian government members who are fleeing, run to Israel, as they are seemingly more Jewish than I was aware of, and they cannot be extradited. The nazis are finding a home with the zionists.
The summary also states that they do not know what qualifies as a ‘collapse of the front line,’ but it appears to be one. The report states: The Ukrainian Armed Forces did NOTHING during the week.
It seems as if we are now entering a mop-up operation on the front line, and soon the guns will be silent. Drone strikes on Russia are continuing, and we read regularly of terrorist attempts.
The word ‘surrender’ is still absent in the general lexicon, except for the hopeless men sitting in their dugouts. We see surrender videos coming through regularly. I look forward to when an agreement will be accepted at the UN Security Council and how the UK will be forced to register a “Yes, we’ve failed, we’ve lost this war in disgrace, and we are skunks and cockroaches having shamed ourselves”].

Summary of the special operation in Ukraine during the week of November 15-21, 2025, losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, liberation of Kupyansk, and the Krasnoarmeysky pocket
Translated with Yandex
Average daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine increased to 1346 military personnel (1261 a week earlier). Minimum losses were recorded on November 16 – 1250, maximum on November 15 – 1505.
During the week, the Russian Armed Forces liberated 400 sq. km of territory and 16 settlements, including Kupiansk. Of these, 7 were liberated on November 21. The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ losses slightly increased, but remained low, with a total of 9425 Ukrainian soldiers killed during the week. In both the Kupiansk and Pokrovsk caverns, the Russian Armed Forces maintain controlled “evacuation corridors” that allow them to expel the most stubborn Ukrainian soldiers who refuse to surrender.
With the complete liberation of Kupyansk and Petropavlovsk, the Kupyansk boiler “shrank” by 80 square kilometers. Although, for the APU and there is almost a six-kilometer gap between Kupyansk and Kurilovka, cross the river. They can only reach Oskol via one bridge-in the direction of Osinovo. According to conflicting reports, from 6 to 20 thousand more AFU fighters may be trapped on the left bank.
In Pokrovsky cauldron, due to the advance in the very Krasnoarmeysk and to the south of Rodinsky – “evacuation corridor” is compressed to 2 km in width. At the same time, to save the VSU militants need to go almost 10 km “gardens” to Grishino.
In the north of the Kharkiv region, together with Dvurechansky, 90 sq. km was liberated, and the front line between Otradnoye and Krasny Pervy was straightened.
The clutches are also tightening around Lyman, with more than 20 sq. km of territory completely liberated, as well as Novoselivka, Stavki, Maslyakovka (a suburb of Lyman), and Yampil.
A similar situation is in Seversk. Back on November 17, the Russian Armed Forces liberated Platonovka, establishing control over the highway to Liman. And by the end of the week, they liberated the entire eastern part of Zvanovka and gained a foothold in the central part of Seversk. The liberated territories in this area amounted to almost 30 square kilometers.
More than 60 sq. km of territory, as well as Radosnoye, Nechayevka, Gai, and most of Novopavlivka, have been liberated in the Dnipropetrovsk region. In total, 420 sq. km of territory have been liberated in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
More than 10 km was made by the advance from the east to Gulyai-Pole – on this section more than 70 sq. km of territory was liberated, as well as Rivnopil, Yablokove, Veseloye.
Among the “small” but no less significant advances, we can mention the liberation of Tsehelny (south-west of Volchansk, group Sever), Malaya Tochkmachka (group Dnepr), the advance to Ivanopil (south of Konstantinovka), and the ousting of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Vladymirovka.
Whether the 400-square-kilometer advance in a week is a collapse of the front is unknown. However, it seems to have been noticed somewhere in Washington… Therefore, the Kiev regime “unexpectedly” had a corruption scandal, and Trump “suddenly” presented a 28-point “conflict resolution plan” that partially addressed Russia’s goals in the special military operation.
All the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was focused on “attempts to break the siege” of the Kupyansk and Pokrovsk cauldrons – 11 attacks near Kupyansk and about 50 near Krasnoarmeysk (of which only 6 attempts to break through from the inside). At the same time, if a few armored vehicles and 10-20 fighters are sent to break through a 50-100 square kilometer cauldron, it is more like a PR stunt or an imitation of activity than a real attempt to break through.
In just one week, at least 398.89 sq. km of territory (125.7 sq. km a week earlier) and 16 settlements were liberated from the Ukrainian Nazis. The Ukrainian Armed Forces did NOTHING during the week, and there was no progress in the gray zone.
Weekly summary (7 days from November 15 to 21)
Weekly losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in equipment: 1 anti-aircraft missile system, 7 multiple rocket launchers, 14 tanks, 122 armored vehicles, 1089 drones. Also destroyed, completely out of sync – from 523 (weekly summary) to 604 vehicles (daily), and from 59 (weekly summary) to 166 (daily) art installations.
Weekly losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine slightly increased and amounted to 9,425 soldiers (8,825 a week earlier), of which 3,165 were in the Pokrovsky direction (3,360 a week earlier), 1,790 in Yuzhno-Donetsk (1,665), 1,570 in Kupyansk (1,530), 1,195 in Donetsk (815), 1,155 in Kharkiv-Sumy (960), 550 on Khersonsky (495).
There is no separate information about the Ukrainian soldiers who have surrendered, but for the past two weeks, videos of entire units surrendering have been circulating.
During the week, there were also 1 massive and 6 group strikes on the rear regions of former Ukraine. The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were not counted.
