Russian Forces Liberate Two Key Settlements in Donetsk Region and Advance Westward.
The Russian Armed Forces also launched 32 precision strikes with high-tech weapons and drones over the week, destroying two Ukrainian Grom-2 ballistic missile launchers and a Neptune anti-ship missile launcher, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The Russian military has liberated two settlements in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), the Ministry of Defense has reported.
"Units of the Vostok Battlegroup, as a result of active operations, liberated the settlement of Razdolnoye," the report on the progress of the special military operation states.
Razdolnoye is a village located seven kilometers northeast of Velikaya Novoselka, which is situated on the border between the DPR and the Zaporozhye region. Advancing further west and liberating Velikaya Novoselka and nearby settlements will significantly complicate logistics for the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front.
In addition, units of the Central Battlegroup have captured the village of Vorovskoye.
Vorovskoye is a small village located several kilometers west of Selydovo. Its liberation allows Russian troops to continue their offensive towards the western borders of the DPR and creates an opportunity for further movement northwest towards Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk).
Furthermore, between November 23 and 29, Russian forces launched a massive series of 32 group strikes using precision weapons and strike drones against Ukrainian defense industry enterprises and the energy infrastructure that supports them. The targets also included military airfield infrastructure, assembly and storage areas for aerial and naval drones, arsenals, and the locations of Ukrainian military units, foreign instructors, technical specialists, and mercenaries.
Two launchers with experimental Grom-2 ballistic missiles, as well as a launcher and transport-loading vehicle for Ukraine's Neptune anti-ship missile system, were also destroyed.
Other developments include:
The Tsentr Battlegroup repelled 53 Ukrainian counterattacks, inflicting heavy losses on Ukrainian forces. Over the course of the week, the group destroyed more than 2,910 Ukrainian soldiers, two tanks, and various military vehicles, including seven armored vehicles, 31 field artillery pieces, and 27 trucks. The group targeted seven mechanized brigades, an infantry brigade, two ranger brigades, a marine brigade, three territorial defense brigades, and a national guard brigade.
The Zapad Battlegroup captured the settlement of Kopanki in the Kharkov region and repelled 28 Ukrainian counterattacks. Ukrainian losses included over 3,150 soldiers, two tanks, 13 armored vehicles (including three US-made M113 APCs), 28 trucks, and 18 artillery pieces, including six 155mm NATO-made howitzers. Additionally, 10 electronic warfare stations and 21 ammunition depots were destroyed. The battlegroup's operations targeted five mechanized brigades, one air assault brigade, a marine brigade, two territorial defense brigades, and a national guard brigade.

The Sever Battlegroup inflicted significant losses on Ukrainian forces, including up to 2,420 soldiers and 10 tanks. Other losses included 32 armored vehicles, 105 trucks, three HIMARS rocket systems, two US-made MLRS, and 20 artillery pieces. The group continued its operations in Kursk, striking two tank brigades, five mechanized brigades, two assault landing brigades, and multiple territorial defense and marine brigades. The group's efforts in the Kharkov direction further disrupted Ukrainian positions.
The Yug Battlegroup advanced to more advantageous positions, destroying forces from four mechanized brigades, a motorized infantry brigade, a mountain assault brigade, two airborne brigades, and other Ukrainian units. The group repelled eight Ukrainian counterattacks, resulting in losses of over 2,790 soldiers, five armored vehicles, 19 trucks, and 10 artillery pieces, including eight NATO-produced pieces. Additionally, eight ammunition depots were destroyed during the week.
The Vostok Battlegroup inflicted losses on Ukrainian formations, including up to 960 soldiers, six tanks (two of which were Leopard models), and 14 artillery pieces. The group also repelled eight counterattacks from Ukrainian assault groups. Targets included two mechanized brigades, a mountain assault brigade, an artillery brigade, and six territorial defense brigades.
The Dnepr Battlegroup inflicted losses on Ukrainian forces, including up to 390 soldiers, five artillery pieces (including three US-made M777 howitzers), and 23 vehicles. The group's operations targeted two mechanized brigades, a motorized infantry brigade, four territorial defense brigades, and a national guard brigade.

Hundreds of jihadist fighters have been killed around Aleppo, Moscow said.
Russian fighter jets stationed in Syria have carried out airstrikes against jihadist militants attacking the northern city of Aleppo, the spokesman for Moscow’s expeditionary force has said.
The Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group and allied militias attacked government-controlled territory in northern Syria on Wednesday, breaking a fragile truce mediated by Russia and Türkiye in 2020.
“Providing support to the Syrian Arab Army, the Russian Aerospace Forces are carrying out missile and bomb strikes on the equipment and manpower of illegal armed groups, command posts, warehouses, and artillery positions of terrorists. Over the past 24 hours, at least 200 militants have been eliminated,” Colonel Oleg Ignatнuk, the deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria, told reporters in a briefing on Friday. He added that another 400 militants were killed by Russian and Syrian forces the day before.

Earlier in the day, HTS told Al Jazeera and Türkiye’s Anadolu news agency that its fighter had entered several neighborhoods of Aleppo. The group claimed to have taken control over some 400 square kilometers of land in Aleppo and Idlib provinces and captured heavy weaponry and other equipment from the Syrian Army. Videos shared on social media purportedly showed HTS gunmen moving Aleppo on foot and in armored vehicles.
The government in Damascus said its troops have “inflicted heavy losses” on the attackers and regained control of some areas. Local media reported the arrival of Syrian Army reinforcements to both Idlib and Aleppo on Friday.
Before adopting its current name in 2017, HTS was known as Jabhat al-Nusra, and was one of the main factions opposing President Bashar Assad’s government during the Syrian Civil War. Jabhat al-Nusra was originally founded as an offshoot of Al-Qaeda in Syria.

Russia intervened in the conflict in 2015, helping Assad retake much of the country from al-Nusra, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), and dozens of US-supported armed groups described by Washington as “moderate rebels.”
Syrian forces lifted the nearly five-year siege of Aleppo in December 2016 and pushed al-Nusra and other groups west into Idlib province. Türkiye took responsibility for Idlib in 2018, vowing to separate terrorists from “legitimate rebels,” but never did so. A March 2020 agreement between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was meant to permanently end the fighting around Idlib.

Russia Decries Aleppo Situation as Violation of Syria’s Sovereignty
The situation in Aleppo is an encroachment on the sovereignty of Syria, and Russia stands for restoring order in the region, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
On Thursday, the Syrian Defense Ministry said that the Syrian armed forces responded to the terrorist attack in the provinces of Aleppo and Idlib, where the militants suffered heavy losses in equipment and manpower.
"As for the situation around Aleppo, then, of course, this is an encroachment on the sovereignty of Syria in this region. And we advocate that the Syrian authorities bring order to this area as soon as possible and restore constitutional order," Peskov said, answering the question of how the Kremlin could characterize the situation that is currently unfolding in Syria.

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.
