(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

“Having failed to accomplish any strategic tasks in 2025, the invaders are trying to push through the Defense Forces in order to report at least some 'successes,'” the General Staff noted.

The Defense Forces continue their defensive operation, conducting search and strike operations in certain areas.

Thus, over the past day, as part of the actions of the Ukrainian troops in the Pokrovsk direction, Russian invaders were searched for and destroyed in an area of 26.6 km2 in the Pokrovsk district.

During the course of combat operations, 39 Russian soldiers were killed, with total enemy losses amounting to 60 people. The invaders also lost 16 pieces of weaponry and military equipment.

In the Zaporizhzhia regio, defenders of southern Ukraine continue to strike enemy locations, firing positions, and rear areas.

On November 15, enemy losses amounted to 204 personnel, 12 artillery systems (including the Uragan multiple launch rocket system), and 45 other pieces of military equipment.

“The main task is to destroy the enemy and its reserves, to undermine its offensive potential,” the General Staff noted.

Thanks to the professional actions of Ukrainian soldiers, the aggressor's losses in 2025 have already exceeded 367,460 people.
