Hellish day for Russians: the Armed Forces of Ukraine "laid down" nearly a thousand occupiers and hundreds of drones
In the past day, the Russian army suffered significant losses — nearly a thousand invaders and over 700 combat drones were eliminated on the front. The situation remains extremely tense: only on the evening of November 25, 150 combat clashes were recorded.

Russian troops continue to suffer significant losses on the battlefield. In the last 24 hours alone, Ukrainian Defense Forces eliminated 980 occupiers and 743 enemy drones. This information is provided by ThePublic.info, citing a post from the Ukrainian General Staff on Facebook.

Thus, from February 24, 2022, to November 26, 2025, the estimated losses of the Russian Federation are:

  • Personnel — approximately 1,168,550 (+980) persons

  • Tanks — 11,372 (+4)

  • Armored combat vehicles — 23,625 (+1)

  • Artillery systems — 34,688 (+44)

  • Multiple launch rocket systems — 1,549

  • Air defense systems — 1,252 (+2)

  • Aircraft — 428

  • Helicopters — 347

  • Operational-tactical level UAVs — 84,960 (+743)

  • Cruise missiles — 3,995 (+14)

  • Ships / boats — 28

  • Submarines — 1

  • Automotive equipment and tankers — 68,242 (+124)

  • Special equipment — 4,007 (+1)

Situation on the front

As of the evening of November 25, 150 combat encounters have been recorded. The hottest area remains the Pokrovsk direction, where almost a third of all battles for the day took place. Active fighting also continued in the Kostiantynivka (19) and Huliaipole (15) directions.

Despite Russia's plans to capture Pokrovsk and Kupiansk, Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold the defense. Units not only from the Ukrainian Armed Forces but also from the Special Operations Forces, National Guard, GUR, and other security agencies have been redeployed to Pokrovsk.

In the Kremlin, they have already stated that Kupiansk is supposedly under their control, but this information was decisively refuted by the General Staff and Ukrainian military forces.
