2/ The leader of the so-called "DPR" Denis Pushilin showed a video allegedly made in the Ukrainian, already surrounded Pokrovsk . obozrevatel.com/ukr/location/u…
The collaborator and traitor spoke about the "difficult situation", despite which the Russian occupiers are allegedly "moving forward" , etc.
In turn, a journalist from the German publication Bild, a well-known military analyst Julian Röpke, geolocated Pushilin's video. x.com/JulianRoepcke/…
3/ It turned out that the leader of the "DPR" militants is actually in Ocheretino , which is 32 kilometers from Pokrovsk.
"Russia announces the almost complete occupation of Pokrovsk;
- Putin even invites journalists there.
As proof, Putin's appointed leader of the "DPR" makes a message supposedly "from Pokrovsk." But there is a small flaw:
- the video was shot 32 km east of the city ," the German notes.😇
4/ As the journalist was told in the comments, perhaps Pushilin was "simply afraid of what he might encounter in Pokrovsk" with the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov.
5/ @JulianRoepcke also claims that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have cleared Rodynske (according to his information, the Russian invaders are actively bombing positions in the village, which were under their control as early as October 26).
6/ Where is this?
#Rodynske is the northern flank of the Pokrovsko-Myrnograd agglomeration and the main road to Myrnograd.
The loss of control over the village at least makes it more difficult for the Russian group to encircle Pokrovsko from the north
The DeepState project confirms the continued infiltration of Russian troops into the city from the southern side; the project also records the expansion of the gray zone . But this is only about sabotage and reconnaissance activities, not full-fledged control, let alone the encirclement of the city.
@JulianRoepcke 7/
"What preceded"
DeepState also confirms the success of the operation of the GUR special forces led by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov. war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/sili-oboro…
8/ "Higher military leadership arrived in the Pokrovsk area and took control of the situation. Now we see a decision to use various special forces to clear the enemy in the city , which has accumulated more than one hundred infantry. However, there are no decisions yet to block the enemy's infiltration in the south of the city," DeepState notes . t.me/DeepStateUA/22…

🟡Situation in Pokrovsk
🏹 Enemy infiltration into the city continues through the Defense Forces' defensive lines in the south, along the previously mentioned sections in the Zvirove-Shevchenko-Novopavlivka area and along the railway from Kotlyne. The enemy is being detected or destroyed in various parts of Pokrovsk, which increases the "gray zone" of their sabotage and reconnaissance activities. In recent days, concentration has increased on the eastern outskirts of the city near the settlement of Rivne, and there is also detection on the northern outskirts, where the number of Russian infantry is growing.
🇷🇺 The enemy is beginning to settle in the city, establishing positions, including observation posts (OP), pilot positions, and so on. This is facilitated by the presence of a sufficient number of infantry, which often also moves from area to area during attempts to clear them out. We wrote about this earlier in our publication based on accounts from fighters holding the defense there.
🏚 Senior military leadership has arrived in the Pokrovsk area and taken control of the situation. Currently, we see decisions to deploy various specialized units to clear the enemy from the city, who has amassed several hundred infantry. However, there are no decisions yet regarding blocking the enemy's infiltration in the southern part of the city. The results of such decisions will become apparent over time; Ukrainian drone operators try daily and nightly to locate and destroy the enemy, and this work is "endless" for now.
9/ The Seventh Airborne Assault Corps also confirms the successful landing of the Defense Forces in Pokrovsk . war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/sili-oboro…
The Ukrainian side is increasing the number of assault groups in the city, "using various methods of moving personnel." In parallel, the military is working on measures to "block enemy logistics and further cut them off . "

Pn November 1, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, confirmed the work of the GUR fighters of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in Pokrovsk . war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/vitisnyaem…
According to him, our fighters in the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd agglomeration continue to restrain a multi-thousand-strong group of Russian invaders. For their part, the enemy does not stop attempts to infiltrate residential areas and tries to cut off the logistics of our military.

🧵 Thread: Greenland Will NOT Be Bought — Not by Denmark. Not by the U.S. 🇬🇱🔥
Follow & RT — this is global resistance. 👇 1/ 🇬🇱 “We do not want to be Americans. We do not want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders.”
All five political parties in Greenland’s parliament united to throw down at Trump’s imperial threats. Every. Single. One. time.com/7345221/trump-…
2/ Trump’s response to sovereignty isn’t diplomacy — it’s bullying. He says the U.S. “needs” Greenland and could take it “the hard way” if not peaceful. This isn’t security. It’s colonial entitlement. time.com/7344147/greenl…
3/ Greenland isn’t a pawn — it’s a nation in formation. Decades of self-rule, a valid legal path to independence since 2009, and a people demanding their own destiny. altinget.se/artikel/juridi…
1/ 🧭 Greenland Crisis Timeline (Jan 2026)
🗓️ Jan 5–6, 2026
Donald Trump revives his demand that the U.S. must control Greenland, calling it an “absolute necessity” for American security.
He states the U.S. will act “one way or another” — language interpreted as coercive.
🗓️ Jan 7, 2026
European media and analysts warn the rhetoric amounts to imperial pressure on a NATO partner.
The Guardian publishes an analysis outlining U.S. options — including force — triggering alarm across Europe.
2/ 🗓️ Jan 8, 2026
European Union leadership states clearly:
“Greenland belongs to its people. Sovereignty is not negotiable.”
EU officials emphasize that any forced takeover would violate international law.
🗓️ Jan 9, 2026
Giorgia Meloni publicly rules out any U.S. military action on Greenland, warning it would damage NATO and Arctic stability.
On the same day, Greenland’s largest labor union issues a blunt response:
“We are not for sale.”
Greenlandic political parties across the spectrum echo the rejection.
3/ 🗓️ Jan 9–10, 2026
Denmark escalates diplomatically.
Danish officials warn privately and publicly that any seizure of Greenland would effectively end NATO unity.
Emergency diplomatic talks with Washington are confirmed.
🔎 Why This Matters:
• Greenland is not disputed territory — it is self-governing under Denmark.
• Threats against it set a precedent identical to Russia’s logic toward Ukraine.
• A forced move would be the first attempt in modern NATO history to seize allied territory.
• Arctic militarization would accelerate dramatically, involving Russia and China.
1/ 🇷🇺 Putin is silent — and the silence is loud.
After the U.S. removed Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, Moscow said almost nothing.
No emergency speech.
No strong response.
Just… silence.
That tells us more than any statement ever could. 🧵👇
2/ This is a strategic humiliation for Russia.
Venezuela was a Russian ally.
So was Iran — until the U.S. struck its nuclear infrastructure.
So was Syria — until Assad’s regime collapsed.
Russian “strategic partnerships” now mean nothing.
3/ Why couldn’t Moscow respond?
Because Ukraine consumes everything.
Russia’s war has drained its military, industry, and attention.
Maduro asked for drones, missiles, radar.
The Kremlin had to say no.
Russia can barely sustain Donbas — let alone project power globally.
2/ Just days earlier, the region came under a massive strike involving Shahed-type attack drones, kyivindependent.com/tag/drones/
ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
The city, home to one million residents, was plunged into near-complete darkness on Dec. 13, with hundreds of thousands of residents left without electricity, while water and heating services became scarce.
“The emergency situation that arose as a result of the enemy's massive attack on the energy infrastructure has acquired the status of a state-level emergency,” Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper wrote on Dec. 17.
Some residents have remained without electricity to this day.
The endless, slow, Russian grind forward has been turned or halted. In Pokrovsk and Kupiansk the Russian army is in retreat. Ground formerly gained at great cost is being reclaimed as Russia’s ability to maintain war is depleted.
2/ Nineteen months of effort and still, after taking more than 60,000 casualties Russia has failed to take #Pokrovsk.
- After nearly four years and 1.2 million casualties, Putin’s three-day military operation has nothing to show for the money and manpower spent.
Russian aircraft are falling out if the sky from lack of maintenance.
This week an Antonov 52, the world’s largest transport aircraft, was filmed snapping in two and crashing to the ground.
The fifty-year-old, six engine jet was a long way past it’s acceptable service date. Two fighter pilots of an SU 34 were killed when their ejection seats misfired in a hangar, and they were propelled into the concrete ceiling of the hangar.
Poor servicing, tired maintenance staff or sabotage, the loss adds to the increasing failures of the Russian military machine.
3/ The Russian Ruble is worthless on the international markets. One Ruble is worth about 0.01 US Dollars or one cent. In Russia, war economy companies are unable to pay staff. Some are two months behind in wages.
The Russian ‘Shadow fleet’ that is illegally transporting Russian oil is getting sunk in the Black Sea. Ukraine has been careful to strike empty tankers to avoid environmental catastrophes. Under this threat the ships cannot travel to Russian Black Sea ports to load up. Several ships left port only to suffer damage to crucial machinery while at sea. Russia depends on oil sales to maintain its economy. At heavily discounted rates these sales still provide just enough to keep the Russian economy afloat.
Desperate for hard cash Russia is trading gold reserves. As it’s air defences crumble in the west Russia is selling S300 air defence systems to Iran and there are reports of them trading an old Nuclear-powered Submarine to India. It’s car-boot sales at an international level.
Most Russian professional soldiers have died in the past four years. New replacements are pushed into formerly elite units and sent to the front lines to die quickly.
All the criminals taken from prisons and promised freedom after six months of service are dead.
The Koreans cheerfully supplied by Kim Jong Un are also dead.
Is @ZelenskyyUa finally ready to fire his notorious right-hand man, Andriy @AndriyYermak?
President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, has consolidated an unprecedented level of power within Ukraine’s government — wielding influence across parliament, the Cabinet, and key state institutions.
“The thinking in the president’s head is shaped by a single person,” Vitaliy Shabunin, head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center’s board of directors said. “And even if Zelensky were a governance genius, that would still be a disaster.”

(a Ukrainian politician and former film producer who has served as the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine since 11 February 2020 my respons/Lewi )
Despite his dominance, however, Yermak has remained a controversial figure, often viewed with skepticism both inside Ukraine and abroad.
Yermak's reach extends into law enforcement through trusted deputies and places him at the center of high-level diplomatic meetings, frequently sidelining Ukraine's traditional foreign service.
3/ His role as Zelensky's gatekeeper has made him indispensable, but also a subject of ridicule and frustration among allies, who complain that his ubiquity far outstrips his skills.
"We have to deal with him, he's Zelensky's man," a senior European official told the Kyiv Independent. "We don't have a choice."
