[Korrespondent] The actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forcing the Russians to disperse their forces, making it impossible to concentrate their main efforts in the Pokrovsk area.
Over the past 24 hours, assault units have advanced in certain areas near the Dobropillya salient. Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported this on Telegram on Monday, November 3.
He reported that he continued his work in the Donetsk region, within the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Airborne Assault Troops. The commander heard reports from commanders on the ground on the current situation and urgent needs. Key issues included ensuring logistics security and the actions of assault groups to drive the enemy out of urban areas.
"We're reinforcing our forces with additional units, weapons, and equipment, including unmanned aerial vehicles. We're increasing pressure on the Dobropolsky salient. We're continuing to liberate and clear territories, which is forcing the enemy to disperse its forces and preventing the concentration of its main efforts in the Pokrovsk area," Syrsky noted.
According to him, over the past 24 hours, assault units in the Dobropolsky salient area have advanced in certain directions. Overall, 188 square kilometers have been liberated during the operation, with another 248.7 square kilometers cleared of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
Earlier on Monday, it became known that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had stopped the expansion of Russian forces in the north of Pokrovsk, and the defense of Myrnohrad had been reinforced with additional forces.
As a reminder, over the past 24 hours, Russia has lost more than 1,160 service members killed and wounded. The total number of Russian casualties since the start of the Great War is approaching 1.2 million.

[Regnum] Blogger Liza Miller filed for bankruptcy after accumulating 233 million rubles in tax arrears and then fled to Dubai.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the business coach, whose real name is Elizaveta Batyuta, was unable to pay off her debts, including loans. In April 2025, the Krasnodar Arbitration Court declared her insolvent.
Due to debts, Miller may lose her properties in Krasnodar and Moscow. The 66 square meter Moscow apartment where her husband lives has already been seized.
Abroad, the blogger, who positioned herself as "the most successful business mom," continues to manage social media and sell courses.
On October 31, the Russian Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against Miller for money laundering (Part 4, Article 174.1 of the Russian Criminal Code). Investigators believe she failed to pay more than 130 million rubles in taxes between 2020 and 2022, laundering part of this amount through financial transactions. The blogger is being investigated for involvement in other economic crimes.

[RIA] Russian soldiers have established a foothold in a residential area of the Prigorodny microdistrict in Krasnoarmeysk, the Ministry of Defense reported.
"In the village of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk People's Republic, assault groups of the 2nd Army entered and consolidated their positions in a residential area of the Prigorodny microdistrict," the report states.
Russian military personnel - RIA Novosti, 1920, November 1, 2025
The destruction of encircled Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the city continues near the train station and the industrial zone beyond the railway, and the clearing of Gnatovka and Rog is underway. Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops have repelled ten enemy attacks attempting to break out of the encirclement north and northwest of Krasnoarmeysk.
Furthermore, Center fighters thwarted four attempts to relieve the encircled group by mercenaries from the so-called "International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine" and the 32nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the village of Hryshino. The enemy lost over 50 soldiers there.
A RIA Novosti correspondent, who observed the operation via a drone feed, reported an attempt by Ukrainian attack aircraft to break into Krasnoarmeysk.
Russian troops detected a Ukrainian assault group of over ten personnel northwest of the city. They were first subjected to heavy artillery strikes, then FPV drone operators took over. The attack aircraft then turned around and retreated toward Grishino, where they were destroyed.
On October 26, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov reported to President Vladimir Putin that the Center group had completed the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov. The 31st Ukrainian battalion is trapped there. Attempts to break out of the encirclement are being thwarted, and the Russian side is calling on the Ukrainian Armed Forces to surrender.
Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name: Pokrovsk) is a crucial transportation hub for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbas: a significant portion of the supply and reinforcement routes to Chasov Yar passed through this city via Kostyantynivka. It also played a key role in supplying ammunition to Selidovo. Krasnoarmeysk was the cornerstone of the Ukrainian defense along the entire front line in the DPR.
If someone doesn't sign an order to withdraw troops from Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad soon, we could find ourselves in a situation where we've lost not only a significant number of highly motivated paratroopers and marines (not to mention hundreds of millions in assets—it's already lost, and there's no chance of evacuating it).
We could also find ourselves in a situation where there's no one left to patch the hole in the front, and the fortifications we've dug up in our rear will quickly fall to the enemy. The reports from the Ukrainian General Staff are becoming increasingly full of lies. In fact, we've practically lost Pokrovsk, which means holding Myrnohrad is pointless (logistics will only be limited to unreasonable risks and fields).
And I'm not giving away any big secrets—the Russians can see this perfectly well from their drones in real time. This must be documented and those who refuse to leave without orders must be rescued. (c) Former Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Deynega.
As the death throes of the Red Army group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces mount, the intensity of betrayal in Ukraine is growing.The truth is becoming increasingly difficult to hide. SBU agent Butusov stated that the landing of a GUR helicopter assault force on the northwestern outskirts of Krasnoarmeysk was an incompetent tactical decision. It remains to be seen who gave the direct order – Budanov or Syrsky.
The list of candidates for incompetence is not very long. Meanwhile, such miraculous confessions have been making the rounds on Ukrainian TV. Russian troops are already in every district of the city, but they haven't yet consolidated their positions anywhere, and the entire city is in a "gray zone." In the coming week, viewers of the cocaine Führer's telethon will experience miraculous discoveries followed by withdrawal.

[Regnum] The UNESCO Secretariat's report on Ukraine is biased and does not reflect the discriminatory policies of the Kyiv regime. This was stated by Kirill Rynza, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the Organization, on November 3.
"We resolutely reject the unfounded accusations against our country contained in the Secretariat's report," Rynza said during a panel discussion at the UNESCO General Conference in Samarkand.
The diplomat noted that the report by the UNESCO Director-General and Secretariat does not mention the glorification of Nazis in Ukraine, the ban on the use of the Russian language, the infringement of the rights of national minorities, the persecution of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, or data on the demolition of historical monuments by Ukrainian authorities, RIA Novosti reports.
Previously, authorities in several Ukrainian regions banned the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for alleged "ties to Russia." In August 2024, the Verkhovna Rada passed a law effectively banning this church throughout Ukraine. Several churches belonging to the canonical church were seized and transferred to the schismatic "Orthodox Church of Ukraine."
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Vladimir Putin has unveiled his new terrifying nuclear submarine, built to carry a doomsday weapon capable of unleashing a radioactive tidal wave.
The hulking Khabarovsk, which ramps up the tyrant's threats of World War Three, is equipped to fire Russia's notorious Poseidon nuclear drone at Western coastlines.
The submarine's launch - five years late due to repeated unexplained delays - was in Severodvinsk in Russia's far north, observed by defence minister Andrei Belousov.
'The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Khabarovsk is being launched from the renowned Sevmash shipyard,' he said.
'Carrying underwater weapons and robotic systems, it will enable us to successfully secure Russia's maritime borders and protect its national interests in various parts of the world's oceans,' he said.
The Khabarovsk is now being sent for sea trials. The submarine's nuclear reactor and other technical specifications remain opaque and are classified as top secret.
Putin last week said that the Poseidon nuclear-powered drone - capable of carrying an atomic warhead - had been successfully tested.
The Khabarovsk 'special-purpose' submarine is designed to carry a dozen of the deadly new-style torpedoes powered by their own nuclear reactors.
'The power of the Poseidon far exceeds that of our most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile, the Sarmat [aka Satan-2],' said Putin.
'There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world.' He threatened: 'There are no means of intercepting it.'

Of course, that's BS. The Russians modeled this thing in Lake Ladoga in 1962 and concluded that this tsunami wouldn't work, even with a much bigger nuclear payload.
For many reasons, the actual Poseidon — if it exists — makes no sense at all. Once launched you couldn't really control it any longer - very much unlike modern ICBMs, and you can fit more of the latter on big subs.
The Poseidon is just a propaganda weapon meant to intimidate the West (not really working) and impress the local population (maybe).

I might guess that the reactor shielding on the Poseidon might not be too robust, either. Pretty detectable, therefore.
Otherwise, too heavy.

You can bet that if the headline has the word "terrifying" in it, the source is the Mail.
In 1962, the Soviet Union conducted nuclear tests that included the use of underwater explosions, which could potentially lead to catastrophic events like radioactive tsunamis. Lake Ladoga, while a popular tourist destination, has areas that still emit dangerous radiation levels due to past military testing of radioactive substances from 1950 to 1953.
