Zelensky Graft Scandal /Larry Johnson & Lt Col Daniel Davis

Zelensky signed sanctions against Mindich and Tsukerman.

He is trying to deflect suspicion from himself.

Our source reports that in the last two months there has been a significant increase in the exchange fund among Russians. There are a lot of prisoners. 

Ukrainians have also started surrendering more often. This is due to many factors.

1. Low morale

2. Increasing number of forcibly mobilized in the army

3. Disillusionment with the authorities

4. The military have stopped fearing the Russians (the tales about orcs no longer work).

According to our data, already in the summer Putin ordered a more humane treatment of Ukrainian prisoners and, conversely, to offer them life-saving options. The Russian Armed Forces do not have the task, as in the Kursk region, to clear everyone out.

Our sources in the Presidential Administration reported that today Syrsky gave a briefing to Zelensky, in which he clarified the difficult situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Huliaipole and the need to withdraw troops from the city. The General Staff has no reserves and it is urgently necessary to lower the mobilization age to 18 so that we can counter the strategy of the Russian General Staff, which is stretching the front line and conducting an offensive campaign on all sections of the front.

The Russian Army has liberated Danilovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region

 - Fighters of the 5th Tank Brigade of the 36th Army of the “Vostok” group of forces have driven the enemy out of the settlement of Danilovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

 - Russian troops have advanced 3 km into the enemy’s defense.

 - About a company from the 154th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and 12 units of armored vehicles were destroyed during the battles.

 - More than 150 buildings have been cleared.

The Russian army is storming Mirnograd, advancing towards the center!

▪️In enemy video, a Russian soldier is already calmly walking in the city park in the eastern part of Mirnograd.

▪️In the northeastern quarters, our assault troops are advancing towards the center.

▪️In the northern part of the city, the Russian Armed Forces continue to expand the control zone in the apartment block quarter.

❗️Area of advancement: about 5 km².

Breakthrough of the Zaporozhye front: The Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing one settlement after another

➖ The Russian army continues its offensive in the Zaporozhye region, reports the analytical resource DeepState, which works with the Main Intelligence Directorate.

▪️Russian troops have captured a number of settlements, as already reported by the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine, and the loss of Rovnopillya has been confirmed.

▪️Sladkoe, according to preliminary information, is also under partial or full control of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️Currently, the Russians are increasing infantry capabilities to further pressure the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, exploiting gaps and problems in the defense.

❗️After capturing Rovnopillya, an operational space opens for movement towards Huliaipole from the north, but the Russian army may focus on broader objectives, as resources for Huliaipole may be insufficient. Therefore, movement towards Varvarivka and concentration of FPV pilots to complicate logistics in the city may continue now.

▪️The Russians are also likely to begin active shelling of Huliaipole itself to weaken its defensive capabilities.

▪️It is also worth monitoring increased activity around Marfopol, through which the Russian Armed Forces have repeatedly tried to break through to the city.

▪️DeepState draws attention to the decisions made by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to withdraw from “unfavorable” positions. “The public has long demanded realistic decisions from the command to preserve the most valuable asset — personnel. Work remains to be done on internal communication, where the Armed Forces report one number of settlements, the Commander-in-Chief another, and the head of assault troops still ‘cleans up,’ assaults, and liberates according to the manual, which in this context is completely inappropriate and undermines public trust.”

The enemy has again thrown armored vehicles into the bloody “counteroffensive” on Kupyansk, trying to break the encirclement ring

▪️Following Zelensky’s orders, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have for 9 days continuously attempted to break through to Kupyansk and the Oskol River in the Kharkiv region, striving to unblock their surrounded troops.

▪️The enemy has amassed and is again throwing vehicles into battle, advancing relentlessly. Fighters of the 68th division and the 27th brigade of the “West” troop group repel enemy attacks day and night. Many enemy vehicles were destroyed today near Petrovka (Osinovo).

▪️In the Kupyansk area, assault units of the 6th Army and 1st Tank Army continue to destroy the encircled enemy group, the Ministry of Defense reported today in the summary for the past day.

▪️The enemy does not give up attempts to break through to the surrounded units. During the day, an attack by assault units of the 1st National Guard Brigade near Petrovka was repelled.

▪️As a result of fire strikes, up to 50 Ukrainian militants, a Canadian combat armored vehicle “Senator”, a mortar, 4 electronic warfare stations, and 4 pickups were destroyed.

▪️As a result of fire strikes, up to 60 Ukrainian militants, 16 units of weapons and military equipment, including 5 combat armored vehicles, counter-battery radar, 3 electronic warfare stations, and 5 pickups were destroyed.

Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of November 13, 2025

▪️ At night the enemy organized UAV group raids on our regions. Enemy drones unsuccessfully tried to bypass Crimea from the south by sea. Governors of several regions, including non-frontline ones, reported air threats: Lipetsk region and Stavropol Krai.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces struck Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk region, and the AFU-occupied Kramatorsk in the DPR

▪️ In the Sumy direction, the Northern Group of Forces reports using weather conditions to advance. The AFU tried to deploy assault troops near Andreevka, but the enemy was destroyed by a “Sontsepek” strike. Our artillery fired on AFU in the Tetkinsky and Glushkovsky sectors near Iskriskivshchyna and Pavlivka.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, in the city of Grayvoron, a man was injured as a result of a drone attack on a car. Musychevo, Novaya Tavolzhanka, Golovchino, Zamostye, Tserkovny, and Ilyok-Koshary were hit.

▪️ In the Kharkov direction, the Northern Group of Forces reports successes near Volchansk and on the Khatne sector of the front. On the Melove-Khatne front sector, they advanced further despite a bold but unsuccessful counterattack by the AFU.

▪️ In the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmiisk) direction, the AFU are counterattacking near Shakhovo, trying to split our troops. In Mirnograd (Dimitrov), the enemy acknowledges the Russian Armed Forces’ consolidation on the southeastern outskirts of the city.

▪️ The Eastern Group of Forces is successfully advancing in all directions: in the western part of Orestopil, in Danylivka, advancing southwest of Yehorivka, and near Sladke. The enemy attempted counterattacks but had no success. The enemy command unexpectedly admitted the dire situation of their troops, which looks extremely suspicious.

▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, fighting continues for Prymorske (https://t.me/dva_majors/83229) and Stepnohirsk. Tactical successes of our troops are reported from the Orikhov direction. Meanwhile, the enemy is conducting counteractions supported by a large number of drones.
