Pokrovsk has effectively changed hands now excluding the very NE part of the NE citadel (RUAF controls 50%).
RUAF now physically controls the road north and west of Myrnograd through the fields, and with drones. More AFU attempts to break out or break in to unblock Myrnograd were defeated.
No mention of Rodynske in Military Summary. Other sources like AMK mapping report RUAF is counter-attacking AFU position in north Rodynske, making use of extensive firepower.
 
Obviously if RUAF is able to physically control the west-east road north of Myrnograd they also have Rodynske relatively secure or is in the process of crushing the AFU holding in Rodynske.

I’m thinking Russia take all of Prokrost and the Southern half of Miningrad. I think Russia leaves the Northern half of Miningrad on the stove to simmer and stew in the Caldron while the Prokrost frontline moves past Prokrost North and West thus distancing Northern Miningrad further behind the frontline…day by day. 
This strategy allows Russia to concentrate soldiers and equipment in Prokrost while consolidating Russia’s logistics, as Russia takes the highways to the North and West.  Northern Minigrad won’t receive any supplies and eventually Minigrad will surrender.  But this time…there’s no “rush” in Russian.

Anyway, Ukraine’s power cut schedules for tomorrow have been published:

Electricity consumption restrictions will be applied in certain regions of Ukraine on November 5. The reason is called the consequences of massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy facilities
 

This is reported by Ukrenergo, reports RegioNews .
 
Representatives of Ukrenergo said that the time and scope of application of restrictions on Wednesday, November 5, will be as follows::
 

• hourly shutdown schedules-from 07: 00 to 21: 00-with a volume of 1 to 2 queues;
• power limitation schedules-from 07: 00 to 22: 00-for industrial consumers.
•  

At the same time, the power engineers warned that the volume and time of restrictions may change during the day. Therefore, Ukrainians are advised to follow the information on the official pages of suppliers (oblenergo).
 

“When electricity appears on schedule, please consume it sparingly,” the power engineers shout.

No ressentiment here. I’m French, but from a German mother.
Well, it was a provocative idea, on a purely historical point of view. Something I said in 2023 in the conclusion of a text I wrote about Taiwan : A remilitarised Japan is as much good news for China as a remilitarised Germany is for France. Add to that the rise of German nationalism mixed with economic crisis…
If ressentiment is alien to the German language as you said, how do you call the feeling your country (especially a man called Hitler) went through after WWI and especially the Versailles Treaty ?

without any link, without any proof, the channel claims that the deployment of NK troops has begun. There were rumors several months ago, that Russia and NK had agreed on 30.000 NK troops to be deployed in Russia. Maybe as coast guards, border guards, rear guards. Not on contested territory.
But NK troops seem eager and are looking for combat experience, at least that is what russian soldiers claim. Anyway, all just rumors so far. The Recon&Surveillance channel is of decent quality, so it might turn out to be correct.

Not to Nietzsche who was German:
 
“Nietzsche’s concept of ressentiment is a psychological state of internalized hatred and bitterness felt by the weak or oppressed towards those who are strong. This feeling arises from a sense of powerlessness and frustration, leading to a revaluation of values where the strong are condemned as “evil” and the weak are defined as “good”. It is a key motivator behind the “slave revolt in morality,” which Nietzsche argued led to the creation of Western morality, and can manifest as scapegoating, self-hatred, or an ascetic lifestyle. ”

The German taxpayer – will pay through the nose to keep propping up the Neo-Nazi dictatorship in Ukraine.
 
“Germany is set to significantly increase its funding for Ukraine in 2026, Reuters has reported, citing government sources.
Berlin is Kiev’s largest EU backer, and has already provided it with around €40 billion ($46 billion) since the escalation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia in February 2022.
According to Reuters, Berlin is considering an additional €3 billion ($3.5 billion) increase in 2026, meaning the overall amount of German aid could reach €11.5 billion ($13.2 billion) next year.
The German authorities had allocated €8.5 billion ($9.8 billion) for Ukraine in its budget for next year, although sources told Reuters on Tuesday that the sum will likely balloon by more than a third due to additional funds from the finance and defense ministries. Similar figures were reported by the Handelsblatt newspaper.
The extra money will cover artillery, drones, armored vehicles, and the replacement of two US-made Patriot air-defense systems, according to the agency’s sources.”

Update from the Pokrovsk direction:
 
The battle for Pokrovsk is approaching its end as the parts of the city begin to come under Russian control.
 
In the northern part of the city, Russian forces established control over new positions in the northernmost residential neighbourhoods, fully establishing themselves along the southern bank of the Hrishynka River. Additionally, they advanced from the area of School no. 14 and the northwestern industrial zone, to the remaining residential streets not yet under Russian control, capturing new positions towards the northern outskirts.
 
In the northeastern part of Pokrovsk, Russian forces consolidated in the southern part of the high-rise district and operationally encircled the remaining Ukrainian formations in the district. To the southeast, they made additional progress in the low-rise residential areas towards the eastern outskirts of the city, establishing control over most of the rest of the buildings there.
 
The most important news comes from the bottleneck of the Myrnohrad pocket. After entering the high-rise district and compromising it as a blocking position against attempts to physically cut off Myrnohrad, Russian forces advanced beyond northeastern Pokrovsk, past the cemetery, and to the highway, where they entrenched in the windbreaks. From there, they entered and captured the soft drinks factory and infiltrated into the northwestern part of Rivne.
 
On the northern end of the bottleneck, the Russians advanced from their positions near the pig farm and reached the high-rise intersection, establishing full control over it and the surrounding positions. They then went on to advance west down the road, where they have reached the next pig farm complex.
 
Currently, there is a ~1.3 km corridor of open fields and a small, disconnected residential area consisting of two short streets connecting the Myrnohrad pocket with the rest of the front. This area is entirely in the grey zone, and movement in and out of the pocket is now practically impossible. The vast majority of formations still in the pocket will either be killed or captured.
 
Meanwhile, north of Pokrovsk, Russian forces began counterattacking against the Ukrainian infiltrations in northern Rodynske. They were able to quickly retake the northern low-rise residential area, and begin assaults on the Ukrainian soldiers entrenched in the three-story buildings. Extremely fierce fighting is ongoing here, with both sides making use of extensive fire power. Some Ukrainian soldiers have been encircled, while others still reside in the grey zone.
 
+ ~4.57 in favour of Russia.

News coming from UKR are that the pocket of Pokrovsk has been NEVER really closed by RUAF, and now a counteroffensive by NATO has actually fully reopened it, while in another development all supply routes to Myrnograd have been allegedly reestablished and NATO weapons and troops are steadily flowing in both cities. Some (I think way too optimistic) news source predicts a complete reversal of the situation in a few days, with Russians ‘pocketed’ in both cities, attributing  this development in large part to lack of fuel for RU, due to NATO strikes on oil facilities, and mainly to lack of soldiers on russians ide, which I think is at least in part confirmed by the recalling of 100.000 reservists and the predicted arrival of at least 30.000 North Koreans. Tìme will tell which propaganda is more believable.
Posted by: Louis | Nov 5 2025 20:23 utc | 267

Natokraine hasn’t unblocked anything, RUAF is hammering whatever wedge they managed to get in Rodynske. All fields and roads north/west of Myrnograd are under drone/artillery fire control, practically no one goes in or out. The best assumption is there are thousands (perhaps 5000) AFU troops in Myrnograd agglameration.
 
There is no lack of fuel, some hits on idle/spare oil refining plants didn’t even cause fuel shortage inside Russia. The bottleneck that existed at some point wasn’t refining, but transporting end products which affected most remote periphery areas.
 
Meanwhile AFU assembled everything it has to Dobropille/Shakhove, movement continues everywhere else.

Half a billion $ worth of Nato equipment captured in Pokrovsk, intact.

large stocks of NATO equipment and military property worth about half a billion dollars remain, which the AFU did not have time to take out of the city: “In Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Dimitrov (Myrnograd), large stocks of NATO equipment and military property worth about half a billion dollars remain, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not have time to take out of the city, said reserve lieutenant colonel Oleg Ivannikov. Ivannikov said that in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad there are still warehouses of the first category with NATO machinery and special equipment with a total value of about $ 500 million, Argumenty i Fakty writes. According to him, it is for this reason that Volodymyr Zelensky does not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to surrender these cities, despite the difficult situation at the front. Ivannikov added that the surrender of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad would put the position of the Ukrainian leadership at risk, since the West would not forgive the loss of NATO’s strategic reserves. According to the officer, the capture of these cities by the Russian Armed Forces will strengthen the offensive on Druzhkovka and Slavyansk. Earlier, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian troops, Alexander Syrsky, announced his intention to unblock Krasnoarmeysk in seven days and ordered to hold positions. The Russian Armed Forces have stopped an attempt to land a new group of GUR troops in Krasnoarmeysk. Russian servicemen also destroyed another group of 11 people of the GUR landing force, landed from a helicopter near Krasnoarmeysk. Igor Kimakovsky, adviser to the head of the DPR, said that the Ukrainian special services tried several times to evacuate a group of foreigners from the Krasnoarmeysk region by helicopter. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that assault groups of the 2nd Army entered and entrenched themselves in the residential area of the Prigorodny microdistrict in Krasnoarmeysk.”

“Ukraine has been granted extended partner status in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF). It is the first country outside the alliance to receive this status, according to the Defense Minister of Ukraine, Denys Shmyhal.
 
The status of enhanced partner of the JEF means deeper cooperation with this defense alliance, which includes 10 northern countries led by the UK.
 
This partnership format allows Kyiv to participate in joint exercises, exchange intelligence, coordinate security and defense activities, and strengthen Ukraine’s integration into the collective defense system of Northern European countries.
 
This year, the US and NATO launched the PURL program, which allows for the rapid delivery of essential American weapons to Ukraine. As part of the initiative, a priority list of the UAF’s needs is being compiled and forwarded to allies for rapid financing of purchases.
 
*Under the mechanism, partner states transfer funds to a special NATO account, after which the US supplies Ukraine with weapons…”

“Odessa guerillas disrupt delivery of weapons to Ukrainian forces from Romania by rail”
”According to Kherson Region Governor Vladimir Saldo, the guerrillas blew up a section of the Izmail-Odessa railway on October 17”
 

“GENICHESK, November 5. /TASS/. Odessa guerrillas have successfully sabotaged a segment of the Izmail-Odessa railway line, disrupting the flow of NATO ammunition and military equipment from Romania, according to Vladimir Saldo, governor of the Kherson Region.”
“Odessa guerrillas inflicted a significant blow to the Ukrainian armed forces’ logistical artery,” Saldo stated. “On October 17, they blew up a section of the Izmail-Odessa railway. A freight train carrying NATO supplies from Romania was scheduled to pass through that route. The explosion occurred hours beforehand, effectively preventing the delivery,” he explained via his Telegram channel.”
”Saldo further accused the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) of attempting to hide the incident’s full impact. “SBU officers arrived promptly at the scene, confiscated all digital materials from the police, and restricted access to them. Their aim is to conceal the true extent of the sabotage. This operation has compromised the entire enemy supply chain, rendering trains carrying NATO weapons unsafe. The enemy’s rear is no longer secure,” he emphasized.”

Then Ukraine hit the Vladimirskaya Power transfer station again, it is important because it moves electrify generated by three main sources, nuclear, hydro and gas fired plants to the cities of Vladimir and Ivanovo, at least some 750.000 people are now under severe blackouts and restrictions.
This is expanding exponentially, we see the effects of all these Ukrainian strikes are starting to accumulate. The danger for the Kremlin is that Russian people  is beginning to realize were and are are being told lies about the war.They are understanding all the stories about wonder weapons are just propaganda by the regime. They are understanding Ukrainians aren’t some useless Nazis or trolls. UKR strategic campaign is beginnning to hit deep in the heart of Russia’s psyche, and they are doing it with 100% UKR weapons, no NATO drones or missiles were necessary, just Ukrainian hard work and patriotism.
Blackouts, gas shortages, rationing, the loss of exports, industrial failure, this is the average russian future,The country has lost at least a million men, it’s entire foreign reserves, its national wealth fund, its Black Sea ports and navy, at least 1/3 of its Air Force, 80% of its armour, and the list is growing every dayThey maybe will conquer Pokrovsk a meaningless little town less than 40 kilometers from the border. They are trying to get it for at least 18 months and they still don’t control a town that has been defended by about 1,000 Ukrainians despite massive bombing, endless attacks, and tens of thousands of dead.
Ukraine basically had no military industrial complex in 2021. It now is on its way to the world’s top 3 in weapons production, It has surpassed Russia in drones, and soon it will be its equal in missiles.

Louis AI is a confirmation bias of Rule 11. Don’t waste your time.
