A heated debate recently erupted regarding the size of the AFU following the signing of a potential peace treaty. The US plan called for 600,000 troops, while the Europeans agreed that it should have no numerical limits. I'd like to add a very interesting post by Colonel Mashovets on this topic:

#Pokrovsk: I'm attaching what I believe is the most up-to-date map of the city's control. Contrary to Russian propaganda, the Russians control about 40% of the city. The rest is essentially a gray area where fighting continues.

#Pokrovsk night message from Demon: "We hold Pokrovsk" 👍👌🤞💪🙏

Demon's telling words: "You know what I've noticed is that people who went to war for the first time in 2014, and some, like me, who have been fighting since 2022, can't imagine themselves without war. That's why any peace, even within the borders of 1918, is perceived with fear for them,

#Novopavlivka war correspondent Yulia Kiriyenko reports that a recent attack on the village was repelled, Russian equipment was destroyed, and the settlement was cleared. I should add that other sources do not confirm this, and it is still a gray area on the DS map.

Referring to my post yesterday, Ukraine can always retain, for example, 200,000 men in the active army, while the remaining 400,000 will be continuously trained recruits. This way, they can create a reservist base of several million to be deployed at the appropriate moment.

I'm wondering. Everyone is outraged that the AFU's numbers will be reduced. But has anyone wondered where Ukraine, devastated by war, will get the money to finance the maintenance and equipment of 600,000 soldiers? That's almost twice as many soldiers as the Turkish Army currently has.

Yesterday, the Axios news agency reported that the US and Russia had resumed talks on a plan to end the war in Ukraine, and that the plan includes Russian demands and has a chance of being accepted by both sides of the conflict. www.axios.com/2025/11/19/u...
Scoop: U.S. secretly drafting new plan to end Ukraine war
"We feel the Russian position is really being heard," Russia's envoy told Axios.

Today is November 16th, so it's worth recalling the Russian plans I wrote about in the attached thread at the beginning of September.

And we have a record for the use of Shahed, along with decoys, during a single airstrike in Ukraine; Russia sent a total of 808 drones. As the chart shows, Russia produced and stockpiled drones for 2-3 weeks to launch a powerful strike.

Luhansk Oblast Administration: "In Luhansk Oblast, Russians have forcibly mobilized the first group of Ukrainians for war with Ukraine."

Vadym Skybicki, deputy head of the Ukrainian GUR: "North Korea has halved its missiles deliveries to Russia this year due to depleted supplies." AFU soldiers have not complained recently about the intensity of Russian artillery fire.

#Kostiantynivka Many have undoubtedly wondered why the armor losses on both sides are comparable in the latest Oryx updates. After all, Russia has been on a relentless offensive for almost two years, and so far, its losses have been catastrophic.

#Kupyansk, everyone's been buzzing about the fighting in Pokrovsk lately, but fierce urban fighting is also ongoing in Kupyansk, and overall, both sides haven't released much information on the matter. Geolocation is being used primarily, which can lead to erroneous conclusions.

Of course, we are all concerned about Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system and are pleased that they are not affecting Ukrainian morale, but Z-Blogger "INSIDER-T" reported some very interesting information about these attacks today:

#Pokrovsk Yulia Kyriienko: "The battle for Pokrovsk is just beginning. Because everything that's happening now is far from over." Remember this post when you read from "experts on X" that the AFU is withdrawing from the city.

A very interesting article by Volyamedia about the personnel losses of both sides and, most importantly, the information comes directly from both fighting armies: teletype.in/@volyamedia/...
Потери меньше, но общая численность ВС РФ прежняя. Список мясника — военные потери сторон на 1 ноября 2025 года
В 2025 году обе стороны несут меньшие потери, чем в 2024-м. При этом количество войск, участвующих в боевых действиях не изменилось...

#Pokrovsk In addition to the latest information from the city (not from "X" accounts, but from people on the ground), collected by @bunkerhunter.bsky.social (link to his profile), I'd like to include a summary of yesterday's post by Colonel Mashovets:

Today, journalist Yuri Lutsenko posted on Facebook that in October, the Prosecutor General's Office recorded 21,602 cases of unauthorized abandoning a combat position from posts. The link is attached. www.facebook.com/igor.lutsenk...

21602 у жовтні. Двадцять одна тисяча, шістсот дві людини. Саме стільки втекло з армії за минулий місяць. Офіційно. Це рекорд. Це дуже поганий рекорд. КОЖНІ ДВІ ХВИЛИНИ З НАШОЇ АРМІЇ ТІКАЄ ЛЮДИНА....

Remember how recently Europe couldn't provide Ukraine with a million missiles in a single year? Coincidence... no, it's simply the result of DJT's policies 💪
