Link to posters in this thread praising Dick Cheney?

Most of us who support Ukraine believe that those who start aggressive wars of invasion and conquest should be hung drom lamp posts outside the Hague. That includes Bush, Cheney, and Putin.

War update: 144 clashes along frontline, Ukrainian forces eliminate over 100 Russian troops in Pokrovsk sector

04.11.2025 23:56

Throughout November 4, there were 144 combat engagements between Ukraine’s Defense Forces and Russian invaders, with the enemy attempting to attack most actively in the Pokrovsk sector.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook, publishing operational information as of 22:00 on Tuesday, November 4, according to Ukrinform.

“Since the start of the day, 144 combat clashes have occurred. Today the invaders carried out one missile strike and 35 airstrikes, used six missiles, and dropped 57 guided aerial bombs. In addition, the Russians deployed 3,029 kamikaze drones and conducted 3,668 attacks on our positions and populated areas,” the report states.

In the Northern Slobozhanshchyna and Kursk sectors, the enemy carried out five airstrikes, dropping a total of ten guided aerial bombs, and launched 135 shelling attacks, including eight with multiple launch rocket systems.

In the Southern-Slobozhanshchyna sector, Ukrainian forces repelled seven attacks near Vovchansk, Synelnykove, and Dvorichanske. Two more clashes are ongoing.

In the Kupiansk sector, the Russians conducted five offensive actions near Pishchane, Borivska Andriivka, and Petropavlivka.

In the Lyman sector, Russian forces attacked Ukrainian positions ten times near Hrekivka, Novoselivka, Korovii Yar, Drobysheve, and toward Lyman. One engagement is still ongoing.

In the Sloviansk sector, Ukraine’s Defense Forces repelled 13 attacks near Serebrianka, Vyimka, Pereizne, Siversk, and toward Dronivka.

In the Kramatorsk sector, one engagement took place near the village of Stupochky.

In the Kostiantynivka sector, Russian troops launched 11 attacks, focusing their offensive efforts near Shcherbynivka, Pleshchiivka, Oleksandro-Shultyne, Ivanopillia, Yablunivka, and toward Berestok and Sofiivka.

In the Pokrovsk sector, the enemy attempted 49 times to break through Ukrainian defenses near Shakhove, Nove Shakhove, Chervonyi Lyman, Myrnohrad, Novoekonomichne, Rodynske, Lysivka, Novopavlivka, Pokrovsk, Zvirove, Udachne, Molodetske, Novomykolaivka, Novoukrainka, and Dachne. Fighting continues at five locations.

Ukrainian forces neutralized 107 Russian troops in this sector, 55 of them irreversibly. They also destroyed 21 UAVs, two vehicles, four pieces of special equipment, and one enemy UAV control post. Additionally, two vehicles and two more drone control posts were struck.

In the Oleksandrohrad sector, the enemy launched 15 attacks toward Yehorivka, Novoivanivka, Yalta, Sosnivka, Stepove, Verbove, and Novohryhorivka. Airstrikes hit the areas of Pokrovske and Oleksiivka.

In the Huliaipole sector, Ukraine’s Defense Forces repelled three attacks near Novomykolaivka. Enemy airstrikes targeted Solodke, Polohy, and Ternuvate.

In the Orikhiv sector, the enemy made three attempts to break through near Stepove and Novoandriivka. All attacks were successfully repelled.

In the Prydniprovske sector, Russian forces made three unsuccessful attempts to advance toward the Antonivskyi Bridge.

In other sectors of the front, the situation remained largely unchanged.

Hit before on Oct. 17 and Oct. 31, there's not much left of this critical substation.

Exclusive: Russia's Tuapse halted fuel exports after drone attacks, refinery stopped, sources say

By Reuters
November 5, 20253:28 AM CST

Ukrainian drone strike targeted Tuapse port infrastructure
Tuapse oil refinery has halted oil processing, sources say
Three tankers were later moved to anchor near the port

MOSCOW, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Russia's Black Sea port of Tuapse has suspended fuel exports, while the local oil refinery halted processing crude following November 2 Ukrainian drone attacks on its infrastructure, according to two industry sources and LSEG ship tracking data.
Ukraine said on Sunday its drones struck Tuapse, one of Russia's main Black Sea oil ports, causing a fire and damaging at least one ship, as part of Kyiv's efforts to undermine Russia's war economy by targeting its energy infrastructure.

Based on confirmed drone strikes and Russian assault icons it would seem Pokrovsk has pretty much fallen to Russian forces.

Russian gains in Pokrovsk have been documented in Pokrovsk, but all of Pokrovsk I’d not under Russian control. Ukraine still has some of it.
Very good write up about the different strategies each side is using.

quote:

Key Takeaways
Recent Russian advances through Pokrovsk are the culmination of a 21-month campaign to seize the town and a five-month dedicated battlefield air interdiction (BAI) effort to degrade Ukrainian defensive capabilities.
The current battlespace in the Pokrovsk direction took Russian forces 21 months to achieve. Russian forces began achieving partial BAI effects against Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) in the Pokrovsk direction in July 2025, at which point Russian forces effectively denied Ukrainian forces the ability to use Pokrovsk as a logistics hub.
These Russian BAI interdiction efforts have not proven as effective across the entire frontline, however, and will not necessarily be exportable to other parts of the theater. Russian forces continue advancing through Pokrovsk, and Ukrainian forces continue defensive efforts in the Pokrovsk direction. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed two laws on November 4 that likely aim to facilitate the use of Russia’s inactive reserve in a protracted war in Ukraine and a possible war against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as well as the use of the active reserve in combat in Ukraine.
Russian forces continue to commit war crimes against Ukrainian civilians.
Russian forces advanced in northern Sumy Oblast and within and near Pokrovsk. Ukrainian forces advanced in the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area.

Calls are growing within Norwegian political circles for the country to use its €1.8 trillion sovereign wealth fund to help unlock the EU’s stalled €140 billion loan for Ukraine. The fund, the largest in the world, swelled by €109 billion from gas profits after Russia’s invasion.


So... using the transitive property, Russia gives additional billions to Ukraine, accounting done by Norway.

Putin remains the Master Strategist.

Curious to see how much of the city Ukraine actually still holds. With Ukrainian drones strikes happening on the northern outskirts of the city it can't be very much. Might be time for them to pull out and regroup.

It seems that Aleksandar Vucic has completely cooled down the "brotherhood" with the Kremlin. Zelensky spoke with the President of Serbia, and both later wrote about possible cooperation.

"There are things in which we can help each other. We also talked about possible cooperation in terms of regional security. Our countries are simultaneously interested in this and we will work on it." - writes the President of Ukraine. Vucic, for his part, noted that the conversation was open and fruitful:

"We agree that there are issues of mutual support in which we will continue to work together."

A little while ago, Aleksandar Vucic admitted that Serbian-made combat materials might be transferred to Ukraine through intermediary countries (mainly in Europe), and he sees no problem with this.

The "brother" Moscow will soon be driven away from Belgrade as well.

A pull out wouldn’t surprise me. It looks like they got all the milk out of the cow and now it’s time to get out,

It’s Russia, surprisingly,who can be argued that they have donated the most to Ukraine since the invasion.

And I love that

Correct, especially in 2022, Russia gave more equipment and ammo to Ukraine than the West.

Some people think that you drill a well and everything out of it is free thus at point of sale is all profit. Nothing could be further from the truth. If Russia sells $50 billion of oil, that is at most $5 billion actually earned, Also it is correct that Russia NEEDS immigrant labor to function. Vodka dicks make few babies
