"We're tired of killing them all": War Correspondent Exposes the Cruel Truth — The Position is Lost, Radio Intercept Content Exposed, and a Gruesome Disaster No One Dares to Mention

The situation on multiple fronts is becoming increasingly severe. Russian forces continue to advance, while Ukrainian forces try to counterattack from various directions, attempting to strike Russian forces from the rear. One of the expressions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' (hereinafter "UAF") desperate situation is the increased activity of their air force in the Pokrovsk direction. Previously, even on relatively "quiet" fronts, the UAF rarely used their air force. A war correspondent has revealed a cruel truth: Russian soldiers have lost some positions, including the Dobropolye salient. The exposed radio intercept content shows a scene of hell on earth: "We're tired of killing them all." However, facing this gruesome disaster, everyone remains silent.

"Damn Shakhovka"

While the battle in Pokrovsk and its surrounding areas rages on, the fighting in the northern Shakhovka area also continues without pause. Overall, the final stage of the fight for the city began from this salient. The UAF had invested troops in an attempt to eliminate this salient, but despite achieving some military success, they failed to push our forces back to their initial positions.

Finally, as reported by "Military Chronicle," Russian forces still maintain their military operational capability in the Shakhovka area, and the UAF commander Syrsky (Сырский) continues to deploy large reserve forces into this area and the Syrsky direction, just as he did several weeks ago. On November 10, war correspondent Yuriy Podoliaka (Юрий Подоляка) reported that the UAF had reorganized their forces and launched an attack along the Shakhovka-Sophievka line, attempting to cut off the Dobropolye salient. It was also reported that the UAF successfully broke through the encirclement and even reclaimed some positions, forcing the Russians to temporarily withdraw from the Kucherovya area.

The UAF's "counteroffensive" did not last long and ultimately ended in failure. On November 13, war correspondent Anatoliy Radov (Анатолий Радов) reported that Russian marines had reoccupied Vladimirovka and almost liberated "damn" Shakhovka.

However, according to the latest news from "Military Chronicle," although the UAF has withdrawn with losses, the personnel size of the Dobropolye group has not decreased. Radov cited information from Russian frontline soldiers that the UAF has started using larger combat groups (increasing from 3 to 8 people) and is trying to distract Russian soldiers:

"They have 'shock troops' to distract us; otherwise, how could the soldiers repel the Russian offensive? They may be preparing a large-scale attack somewhere... Guess what? They might really do it. They have expanded the size of their combat groups, previously up to 3 people, now up to 8. There must be something planned."

Since August, Russia has been trying to break through the Dobropolye salient (the UAF alone has deployed an entire army group, two regiments, and a drone operator brigade). Considering the scale of forces and reserves deployed by the UAF to prevent the Russian breakthrough, it is easy to speculate that the next UAF counteroffensive attempt will still focus on this area.

Radov also released the latest status map of this front line. It is clear that Russian soldiers have withdrawn from the Kucherovya area:

"The situation at the Dobropolye salient has not changed significantly. I removed the markings of some Russian-controlled areas at the top of the map because video footage from the marines showed that the UAF were using hand carts in this area. Essentially, in my view, this area has become a 'gray zone.' The situation in Boykovka is similar — sometimes Russian personnel suddenly appear at a position, and the next day, the UAF are active there again. Overall, the situation remains in a stalemate."

In Milnohrad, Russian soldiers have advanced from the northern green belt towards Makhmudov Street, reaching the intersection of Rudnichnaya Street and Ukrainian Alley, and attacking the "Eastern" district to the south, southeast, and northeast of the city. The fighting in the "Eastern" and "Youth" districts is still ongoing. To cut off the southern part of the city, Russian突击部队 need to advance about 500 meters and capture no fewer than 15 buildings (most of which are high-rise buildings).

"The 'noose' around Milnohrad is gradually tightening. Essentially, the enemy knows that the end of the city is near."

— Concluded the war correspondent Kotenok (Котенок).

The Enemy Is Fighting Desperately, But Their Response Is Slow

As Yuriy Kotenok reported, unfavorable weather conditions not only benefited Russian soldiers but also provided an opportunity for the UAF — some UAF groups successfully infiltrated the northern areas of Pokrovsk. With the cover of fog, some UAF units managed to escape from the encirclement. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces have advanced towards Hryshyno and Dmytrivka.

Currently, the information about the situation in the Pokrovsk area is mysteriously scarce. Meanwhile, the UAF continues to claim so-called "successes" in the Rodinske area:

"The situation has reached a critical point, but the fighting is still intense and precise. The UAF is methodically capturing the city. This time, the southern area occupied by the Russians has been bombarded — the Russians have taken over many residential buildings and are trying to establish strongholds there. The urban combat is extremely fierce, with every block needing to be fought for. Despite this, the UAF continues to apply pressure, clearing house by house, leaving no room for the enemy."

In fact, the response from the UAF channels has clearly lagged behind. Objective surveillance footage confirms that their counteroffensive failed as early as November 14. War correspondents confirmed that although the enemy successfully infiltrated the residential areas, our drone operators are continuously clearing out the enemy, and the enemy is trapped in the basements, unable to take any action.

The situation in the Rodinske area can be reflected through images of the enemy being destroyed by various weapons. The words of the soldiers of the 9th Regiment, 60th Independent Marine Battalion, 51st Army Group of the Russian Armed Forces, directly reflect the situation: "We're tired of killing them all."

Syrsky is still launching large-scale attacks in this area, attempting to regain a strategically significant crossroads in the northern part of Pokrovsk — the crossroads where the roads to Hryshyno and Rodinske meet. "Military Chronicle" reported on November 12: "The situation remains — the UAF launches attacks with groups of 6 to 8, even 10 people, charging forward without support. Sometimes, armored vehicles can break through to the vicinity of Rodinske and land troops, but almost none can successfully retreat."

No Battle, No Food

The situation on the UAF positions can also be known through intercepted radio communications that have been exposed online, part of which were published by Russian soldiers and the author of the "Parachutist Diary" channel.

According to the intercepted content, hungry UAF soldiers requested the command to deliver supplies via drones — since they were surrounded, their positions could not receive supplies in any other way. However, their commanders refused the soldiers' request, citing "you didn't act after being surrounded":

"Act first, then supplies will come."

Ukrainian soldiers stated that although they were ready to launch a counteroffensive, prolonged hunger and lack of water had left them unable to act. According to audio recordings made over several days, the UAF soldiers eventually received no supplies.

Additionally, reports about the Yampolia area indicate that intense fighting has continued for several days. It is reported that an entire company of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces' 111th Brigade has abandoned their position.

According to media reports, after continuous shelling, a UAF soldier warned his comrades in the radio: if they don't receive evacuation orders, they will evacuate themselves before dawn. He mentioned the consequences of close-range explosions — "one ear is almost deaf," and used the code "4-5-0" to describe the current situation, and said they had been holding the position for 20 days.

Did We "Accidentally" Capture This Strategic Town?

Styernenko (Стерненко), head of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Aid Foundation, said that Ukraine is facing a "strategic disaster that could lead to the country's collapse," commenting on the Russian military's breakthrough in the Novopavlivka area of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Russian forces have deeply penetrated the UAF's defensive lines on this front. A UAF supply personnel said that such breakthroughs have become more frequent in recent months. Due to the blind attack orders issued by the command, the units have suffered heavy casualties and are severely understaffed. Styernenko added that if "not only in military command but also in political strategy, there are not major changes," the day when the Russian forces occupy Zaporozhye and Dnipropetrovsk would only be a matter of time. Ukraine's defense is "gradually collapsing in the suffocating silence on these issues."

"Our forces have successfully cleared the 'encirclement' north of Dachino and have leveled the contact line along the Petrovsky village (Olekhovo) - Filya line. Using weather conditions, we launched multiple attacks on the enemy's equipment and have established a foothold in the eastern part of Novopavlivka. In fact, almost the entire southeastern area of Novopavlivka on the left bank of the Solena River, including Karpinski Street, is under our control. According to operational intelligence and objective surveillance footage, our tanks have successfully advanced to the northeastern suburbs of Novopavlivka."

— Wrote the war correspondent Kotenok.

Radov published the conversation records between himself and the frontline soldiers. According to the soldiers, they have "stepped into" this town. The enemy obviously did not expect our speed of advancement. Radov pointed out:

"Capturing Novopavlivka was an accident; we hadn't planned to do it... Just like that, we pushed forward and took it. Thanks to the tankers."

The UAF has launched a "crisis PR mode," claiming that the Russians have made no territorial advances, and the situation is "all according to plan," etc. The UAF even denied that our soldiers had approached Novopavlivka (despite the objective surveillance footage confirming our military achievements). The Mezheveya station near Novopavlivka is a key stronghold, and several front lines' supply routes pass through this station.

Additionally, new footage of UAF soldiers surrendering from Pokrovsk (possibly also from the Novopavlivka direction) has appeared online. In the Milnohrad direction, Russian drone operators and aviation continue to operate — footage of the use of FAB-3000 aerial bombs (note: a heavy aerial bomb commonly used by the Russian military, with a large amount of explosive and strong destructive power) has been widely spread on the Internet.

"While Syrsky claimed that the situation in Milnohrad has stabilized, the Russians are destroying the entire city, trying to eliminate the remnants of the UAF brigades! This is a disastrous event for the UAF, yet everyone remains silent."

— The "Resident" (Резидент) channel of the Ukrainian presidential office complained.

"Formal Farewell" to Gulyapole

Our soldiers continue to expand their gains in the Zaporozhye direction. According to the author of the "Frontline Whispers" channel, war correspondent Ruslan Tatarinov (Руслан Татаринов), the Russians have captured the 158-meter-high ground near the Veshchye settlement near Gulyapole.

Gulyapole has started the evacuation procedure. Ukrainian parliament member Mariana Bezuhla (Марьяна Безуглая) even advised people to "say goodbye to this city":

"As the hometown of Nestor Makhno (note: a Ukrainian anarchist leader during the Soviet Civil War), Gulyapole has become another victim of chaotic military command and Zelenskyy's insistence on keeping Syrsky in place. Say goodbye to this city in the Zaporozhye direction. People are already taking detours, and soon the fighting will spread into the city of Gulyapole."

On November 14, the "Eastern" Group has approached Veshchye and Zelenevei. In the Dnipropetrovsk direction, after liberating Danylovske, our forces have expanded their controlled areas along the Pokrovsk-Gulyapole road, advancing north towards Otradnoye and south towards Nechayevka. At the same time, the "Vityaz" unit has entered and controlled the eastern suburbs of Ostapovskiy and Andreyevka.

On November 15, war correspondent Kotenok reported that Russian forces have bypassed Veshchye from the northwest (from a high point at 155.6 meters) and arrived at the eastern suburbs of the Zatishche settlement — this settlement is the last inhabited area along the O-080618 road before Gulyapole.

Currently, in the Gulyapole area, the strikes against the UAF's logistics supply lines have been fully launched. The equipment used by the UAF in this area is no heavier than pickup trucks, which means that soon, a situation similar to when the Russian military entered Pokrovsk may occur.

In the northern flank of this direction, Russian forces have cleaned up large areas north of Sosnovka after liberating Oleshty. Currently, the enemy only controls a small forested area in the east of Mykhailivka, and cleaning this area will take some time. After that, the Russian armed forces will have the opportunity to launch an attack on Mykhailivka, and this can be achieved through various tactics:

They can either launch an attack by penetrating the forest or conduct a strong assault across the river from Oleshty. In the central area, the fighting near Novoyskovka, Danylovske, and May Day village continues. Our突击部队 are advancing through the forest belts toward the west and northwest, while the UAF is trying to establish a defense line along the Getchur River.

Along the Yablokovo - Novouspennyi line, the UAF has set up a large defensive fortification belt. However, considering that the UAF has lost a series of positions in the north, whether they can hold this line is questionable. We have controlled parts of the forest areas near Veshchye, Zelenevei, and Vysokoye (Chervonoye). A while ago, the battle for these settlements began, but it is still too early to talk about liberating them. We have only sent small突击 teams into these areas.

"From the development of the situation, not only is the encirclement of Gulyapole gradually forming, but the front is also approaching the defensive line to the north of this settlement. After liberating Veshchye, Zelenevei, and Vysokoye, the Russian armed forces will face the enemy's carefully constructed defensive line and are expected to bypass it from the north."

— The "Special Military Operation Briefing" analysis group summarized.

Currently, Stepnogorsk is almost completely under Russian control. UAF forces are surrounded near a sausage factory in the area. Russian forces are advancing along the long line of the original Kherson reservoir. The right wing of the UAF in Olekhiv is facing the threat of being surrounded.
