Defense of Ukraine

Russia is stuck in its own Groundhog Day. Wake up. Attack. Lose 2,000+ troops. Repeat. 11 days straight. Since November 1: minus 26,010 invaders — a whole month’s losses earlier in the year. A regiment a day, thanks to Ukraine’s drone operators, gunners and assault troops.

Ukraine is working toward its own satellite communications with Finnish partners ICEYE and Nokia. 🇺🇦🤝🇫🇮

🇺🇦🤝🇳🇱 The Netherlands’ winter support package is already protecting Ukrainian civilians and warriors. Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara thanked his Dutch counterpart Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius during a call on next steps and 2027 priorities. On the agenda: countering Russian ballistic missiles, Patriot interceptors from partners’ stocks, and better F-16 maintenance, building on Dutch leadership in the Air Force Capability Coalition. Thank you, Netherlands! @DilanYesilgoz @Defensie Read more: mod.gov.ua/en/news/netherlan…

NATO instructors call the content Ukrainian press officers produce at the tactical level “a very powerful weapon in Ukrainian hands.” The ninth strategic communications course for Ukraine’s Defense Forces, organized by the Ministry of Defence with @NATO support, has concluded. This round trained heads of communications units, from brigades and corps up to the General Staff. NATO Mobile Training Teams now teach the same NATO-standard courses in Ukraine that were once only available abroad. Read more: armyinform.com.ua/en/2026/11…

Ukraine's Defense Forces spent November 10 and the night of November 11 going after the brains of the Russian army: the posts that run its drones and units. Three Russian drone control points were hit near Tokmak and Prymirne in Zaporizhzhia region and near Pokrovsk in Donetsk region. From posts like these, Russian operators hunt Ukrainian positions and logistics, but also cars, buses, ambulances and anyone who steps outside in frontline towns. A drone depot near Zalyman in Luhansk region was struck too, so some of those drones never got off the ground. Also hit: a command post near Myrnohrad and a command and observation post near Vovchansk in Kharkiv region. To be continued. 💥 Source: @GeneralStaffUA

"Four years ago, the Defense Forces liberated Kherson. Four years ago, saying 'We knew you would come back,' people held up blue-and-yellow flags they had kept hidden from the occupiers for months. Freedom Square was filled with tears of joy and gratitude to Ukraine's defenders. The courage and professionalism of our warriors, the clear coordination between units of the security and defense forces, the heroism of those who pushed the enemy back, and the support and resistance of our people: this is how the Ukrainian flag returned to our Kherson. Today, Ukraine continues to take back what is ours. Our military is conducting offensive operations: over recent months, we have liberated more territory than the enemy has captured. We remember every city waiting to come home. Every temporarily occupied territory retains its Ukrainian status and is waiting for its own, just as Kherson waited." — Minister of Defence Evgeniy Khmara

Foreign volunteers serving in Ukraine’s Defense Forces now have until May 10, 2027, to obtain a temporary residence permit. President Zelenskyy signed Law No. 16094, extending the six-month window that ran out on November 10. Many foreign warriors on combat missions far from their units’ bases could not get to the migration service in time. Until a permit is issued, a military registration document, service ID or MoD certificate confirms legal stay in Ukraine. Read more: mod.gov.ua/en/news/ukraine-r…

Russia has now lost an estimated $300 billion worth of military equipment in its war against Ukraine, according to @armyinformcomua’s Price of War tracker. Top five categories: - Artillery systems: $83.5B - Tactical UAVs: $60.3B - Air defense systems: $35.1B - Tanks: $34.9B - Cruise missiles: $28.1B Behind every billion are thousands of missions by Ukraine’s drone operators, artillery crews and air defense warriors. Russia keeps paying for its failed invasion, and the price is still rising. Read more: armyinform.com.ua/en/2026/05…

🇺🇦🤝🇳🇴 Norway will continue large-scale purchases of Ukrainian-made drones for Ukraine’s Defense Forces, Minister of Defense Tore O. Sandvik confirmed in a call with Evgeniy Khmara ahead of the UDCG meeting. The ministers mapped out support priorities for the rest of this year and for next year. Khmara: “We value the consistency and strength of this support. It gives us predictability and the ability to direct resources to the most urgent needs, primarily unmanned systems and efforts to strengthen air defence.” Air defense came first, with talks covering MANPADS procurement, PURL contributions, and faster missile deliveries. The ministers also reviewed progress on integrating missiles into NASAMS and discussed 20 mm ammunition for F-16 cannons, which has proven highly effective against jet-powered drones. Khmara: “We have significant potential to expand our partnership in the defence industry and in other areas that will strengthen both Ukraine and Norway.” Thank you, Norway! @toreosa @Forsvarsdep

Every hectare cleared is land Ukrainians can farm, travel through, and live on again.

They destroyed 336 explosive items, bringing the total since 2022 to 483,702. Read more: mod.gov.ua/en/news/ukraine-d…

Russia has now lost more than 52,000 artillery systems and 600,000 tactical UAVs since the start of the full-scale invasion. Both milestones were crossed over the weekend. By ArmyInform's estimate, that is about $144 billion in equipment: $83.4 billion in artillery and $60.2 billion in drones, or nearly half of the roughly $299 billion in Russian equipment losses it tracks. None of it came from one big operation. It is the daily work of artillery crews, drone operators and air defense warriors across the front. Read more: armyinform.com.ua/en/2026/11…
