THE RUSSO-UKRAINE WAR BRIEF

For: 2024-11-27

Slava Ukraini! In early 2022 I began a Telegram channel aggregating news from a number of sources daily on the war in Ukraine. In June 2023 I began providing a daily draft for the Ukraine War Brief Podcast collecting news from over 70 sources daily, which formed the basis of the script. While the Podcast no longer exists I have continued to make this Brief available for my followers here on Substack for those who wish to keep up with the news from the war. A version of this Brief will also be made available on The People’s Media Substack for those who should choose to subscribe there.

GSAFU Morning Report

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its Operational Information update at 22:00 on Nov 26 stated that day 1008 of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation against Ukraine was about to begin.

During the past day, 208 combat engagements took place. Over the past 24 hours, the enemy carried out 1 missile strike, 31 air strikes, 700 drone strikes and more than 3,300 artillery strikes across the positions of Ukrainian forces.

At the same time, Ukrainian soldiers continue to inflict losses in manpower and equipment on the occupying troops, exhausting the enemy along the entire front line and continue to disrupt the plans of Russian occupiers to advance deep into the territory of Ukraine.The Russian Border Incursion

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a US based think tank, in its Nov 26 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment reported that Russian forces continued offensive operations in the main Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on Nov26 but did not make any confirmed advances. Geolocated footage published on Nov 26 shows a Ukrainian brigade repelling a recent Russian reduced platoon-sized mechanized assault consisting of at least two vehicles south of Zeleny Shlyakh (southeast of Korenevo).

Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces advanced near Novoivanovka (southeast of Korenevo), Kamyshevka (north of Sudzha), Darino (southeast of Korenevo), and Kremyanoye (east of Korenevo) and that Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in the area. 

  • ISW has not observed confirmation of these claimed Russian advances. Elements of the Russian 810th Naval Infantry Brigade (Black Sea Fleet, Southern Military District [SMD]) are reportedly operating near Pogrebki (northwest of Sudzha).

Neither Russian nor Ukrainian sources reported fighting in Glushkovsky Raion west of the main Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast on November 26.
