‘We are losing Pokrovsk’: Ukraine nears biggest loss since 2023​

“We are losing Pokrovsk,” came the warning call of a Ukrainian MP on Tuesday morning.

“The Russians have broken into the city,” Oleksiy Goncharenko, wrote on Telegram alongside an unverified video showing Russian forces under the cover of the fog entering the city piled on an odd assortment of motorcycles, buggies and cars.

It followed days of Russian claims that its forces were advancing on the city’s centre in a pincer movement, encircling the Ukrainian troops inside; their defences finally crumbling.

Ukraine has repeatedly denied such reports, characterising the fighting as “difficult”, but far from over.

Yet, the footage only adds to the mounting fears that the key supply and rail hub in southeastern Ukraine is on the brink of capture.

I don't care to watch the video. But does this mean that the nuclear power plant is not attacked by Ukrainian forces now?
(Yes, the power plant has been attacked by Ukrainian forces many times during the war to make a big incident, they hoped to blame on the Russians.)
 

Battlefield Brief | Russia’s ‘Mad Max’ push toward Pokrovsk​

Nov 12, 2025 #ukraine #russia #military
Russian forces are pushing toward the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, using dense fog for cover in what’s been described as a “Mad Max–style” assault.
Reports suggest the Kremlin has deployed 100,000 troops in an effort to seize Pokrovsk and Kupiansk to the north — aiming to encircle Ukrainian units and cut off supply lines.
Elite Rubicon drone units are targeting Ukrainian positions, while Ukrainian drones are inflicting heavy losses on advancing Russian troops.
It's all in the latest episode of the Ukraine Battlefield Brief.

THE WEF’S ENDGAME: TOTAL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

They’ve stopped pretending.

In their own words:

• “If a billion people stop eating meat…”
• “We’re developing the ability to track consumers’ carbon footprint.”
• “What are they eating? How are they traveling?”
• “Meat and dairy producers should pay for the damage they cause.”
• “Every cup of coffee you drink harms the planet.”
• “Your future protein won’t come from meat.”

This isn’t “climate policy.”

It’s a blueprint for monitoring, pricing, and punishing every part of your daily life — food, travel, purchases, movement, even what you drink in the morning.

The WEF wants a world where your lifestyle is regulated like a bank account — and where dissent is impossible because everything is tracked, scored, and controlled.

They call it “sustainability.”
But we all know what it really is:

Compliance. Surveillance. Obedience.

And the pushback starts now.
 
But Ukraine is winning and Putin has cancer and they're using microchips from washing machines to do it!

Blacklisted Kremlin official involved in Trump’s peace plan​

President Donald Trump’s 28-point peace proposal for Ukraine is facing criticism amid claims it skews heavily in Vladimir Putin’s favour.

Trump has given Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky until Thursday to accept the deal, which would cede territory to Moscow, take Nato off the table for Ukraine and allow Russia back into the G8.

As Zelensky faces a difficult choice, US officials and lawmakers have expressed their concern about Russian involvement in the plan after it was revealed the administration had held meetings with a blacklisted Kremlin official beforehand.

Kirill Dmitriev, a close ally of Putin, is the CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and assumed the office of the special presidential envoy on Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation on 23 February this year despite little diplomatic experience.

Let’s look at the European demand to continue the war from another angle - one they won’t say out loud.

A Ukrainian military defeat is actually beneficial to them.
First, it eliminates any need for a serious audit of the billions spent in Ukraine.

Second, it allows the EU to keep €195 billion in frozen Russian assets.
Third, it shifts the burden of postwar veteran reintegration onto Russia - not Europe.

Fourth, it removes the need to spend on rebuilding Ukraine’s shattered economy.

And fifth, it spares the EU from having to accept a financially ruined country into its ranks.

In short: Ukraine’s defeat solves a lot of problems - for Europe.

And yet they continue to thump the tubs, get the march to war, going.

Apparently they believe that complete destruction of the West, including their own home nations, solves MOAR problems for them.

And I'm not sure they're incorrect in that. We have a criminal cabal ruling the West - all of them owned by Klaus and the Davos Dimwits; and all of them guilty of financial crimes and treason.

I'm reminded of the EOTWAWKI sci-fi epic, Lucifer's Hammer. One subplot involved a banker, a neighbor of one of the key protagonists...he was waiting for the axe to drop. His bank was being audited by FDIC bank examiners - back when bank examiners were mostly honest and expected bankers to be, also. He was in fact guilty of embezzlement of hundreds of thousands, to support a high-rent wife and a Palisades suburban home.

His plan was to take the local Boy Scout troop out to observe the close-passing comet at night; and as they would hike out, he'd have a little slip and go off an embankment he'd planned. The fall would kill him; insurance would pay the bank losses; his kid and wife would be okay.

Except that the comet didn't pass. It hit - what The Science said was a million-to-one odds-against.

When the comet struck, about twenty minutes before the planned accident, this banker never felt so alive, as most of Los Angeles was consumed with the resultant tidal wave. The bank was gone; the examiners dead, the power out; and Gordie was gonna LIVE.

Probably that's the thinking in Brussels, now. Will it turn out that way? Do they have digital Real-ID-type alternative identities, for After the Bombs?
 
What's funny about "Peace" in Ukraine is Zelenski doesn't want any investigation as to where the money went... LOL

That tells you all you need to know right there!
 

Ukraine reportedly agrees to U.S.-brokered peace proposal​

Ukraine has reportedly agreed to the framework of a peace deal brokered by the U.S. in what could be a significant first step toward bringing the almost four-year war to an end.

Ukraine reportedly agreed to an amended peace deal during talks that U.S. officials held with a Ukrainian delegation in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. A Russian delegation was also in the UAE capital although it's uncertain whether joint talks were held.
