Russian military forces suffer significant losses in the Kupiansk direction, while the occupiers near Svatove complain about poor provisions, reports to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Kupiansk direction

The General Staff reports that on the Kupiansk direction, some servicemen of the Russian occupying forces complain about continuous losses in manpower due to unsuccessful offensive actions and claim an unwillingness to continue them.

"The extremely low quality of recruits is noted - mostly individuals of older age who have problems with alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc.," the report says.

Among the servicemen of the Russian occupying forces, there is a prevailing belief that the leadership intentionally sends them on cannon fodder assaults, disregarding the losses.

Svatove direction

Additionally, inadequate rear support for the occupier units is noted in the Svatove direction. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that servicemen from one of the Russian Federation units complain about poor provision of winter clothing, food, water, etc.

Frontline situation

As of Friday morning, November 24, Russia's losses in the war in Ukraine amount to 1,100 occupiers. The total number of losses in the Russian army since the invasion began is 322,900 military personnel. Furthermore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have destroyed 30 tanks, 32 armored vehicles, and 31 artillery systems.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also reported that Ukrainian soldiers continued to advance on two fronts, repelling Russian attacks near Mariynka and destroying the enemy's logistics center.
