0:00 Hello, my dear friends. Here in the
0:01 military of a summary channel, and today
0:03 we will discuss the situation in the
0:04 world on the 13th of November of 2026.
0:07 Today we have a lots of very interesting
0:09 updates. So let's start. And first,
0:11 let's talk about the conflict on the
0:12 territory of Ukraine, and we will once
0:14 again summarize everything that took
0:16 place between the 10th and the 13th of
0:18 November of 2026 during the five rounds
0:21 of talks between Russia, Ukraine, the
0:23 United States of America. Yes, there
0:25 were five rounds of talks between these
0:29 three states. So let's discuss
0:30 everything in details once again. The
0:32 first two rounds of talks took place
0:34 between the 10th and 11th of November of
0:37 2026, and the first two rounds of talks
0:39 took place on the territory of Abu Dhabi
0:42 on the in the Middle East. So during
0:44 those rounds, the parties had meetings
0:47 on the territory of Abu Dhabi, and they
0:49 were discussing a lots of questions.
0:51 They were just synchronizing their
0:52 positions, they were issuing demands,
0:54 and many, many other different things.
0:56 The third round of talks between Russia,
0:59 Ukraine, and the United States of
1:01 America took place yesterday in the
1:03 morning of the 12th of November on the
1:05 territory of Russia in the Kremlin, when
1:08 the president of Russia was talking with
1:10 the representatives of the United States
1:13 of America with Steve Whitkov and Jared
1:15 Kushner. The third round of talks took
1:17 place around 2.5 hours, and the parties
1:21 were discussing everything in details.
1:22 And the most important thing, according
1:24 to information we have, the Russians
1:26 issued ultimatums or proposed their
1:29 vision of the future security
1:32 architecture of Europe.
1:34 And following the third round of talks,
1:38 of America flowed to the to Ireland in
1:41 Dublin, where they had the meeting with
1:44 the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy. And
1:46 this is the beginning of the fourth
1:48 round of talks between Russia, Ukraine,
1:50 and the United States of America. And
1:52 during the fourth round of talk,
1:54 the president of Ukraine, Zelenskyy, and
1:56 his representatives were talking with
2:00 During these round of talks, the
2:02 Americans handed over demands and
2:04 proposals of Russia. And later we find
2:08 out and later it was reported that
2:10 Zelensky rejected proposals of the
2:13 United States America and rejected ideas
2:18 And following the end of the fourth
2:20 round of talks, the fifth round of talks
2:22 began and the fifth always it's always
2:26 the last round of talks during any
2:30 is a specific has some own specifics.
2:33 First of all, the last round of talks is
2:36 always the round when the parties are
2:38 not talking to each other directly, when
2:41 there are no rooms, no negotiations, no
2:43 meetings and so on. Usually during the
2:46 last round of talks, during the talks
2:48 that failed, we can see talks between
2:51 medias when different medias of
2:53 different countries, of different
2:55 states, of different powers in the world
2:58 began publishing updates about talks if
3:01 the talks failed because if the talks
3:03 failed, this means that proposals were
3:06 rejected. This means that the parties
3:07 haven't made haven't managed to find
3:10 common points and haven't managed to
3:12 make concessions and this means that
3:14 it's it is allowed to begin publishing
3:17 the details of talks so people in the
3:20 world can understand what exactly the
3:22 parties were talking about. So during
3:25 the fifth round of talks today on the
3:27 13th of November of 2026, different
3:29 media published details about talks in
3:32 Moscow, Abu Dhabi and in Dublin and
3:35 let's discuss them in details because
3:37 they are very interesting.
3:40 And first let's discuss insights that
3:42 were published by German publication
3:44 Bild. The German publication Bild citing
3:47 its own sources reports that Belarus was
3:49 also a topic of discussion in Abu Dhabi.
3:52 According to the outlet, Russia has
3:54 proposed removing nuclear weapons from
3:56 Belarus, abandoning deployment of
3:58 intermediate range missiles there and
4:01 withdrawing its troops from
4:02 Transnistria. So this is a very strong
4:04 point because according to this strong
4:06 point, the Russians would remove the
4:09 Oreshnik system that was deployed on the
4:11 territory of the Republic of Belarus
4:13 probably several years ago during the
4:15 special military operation and the
4:17 Russians would removed nuclear weapons.
4:19 So this is a very strong step from the
4:21 Russian side. Furthermore, the Russians
4:23 promised to remove troops from the
4:25 territory of Transnistria and this means
4:27 probably summarizing everything that the
4:29 Russians would remove not just troops,
4:31 but also equipment that was installed by
4:34 Russians along the border between
4:35 Belarus and Ukraine and between Ukraine
4:38 and Transnistria that the Russians used
4:40 for drone purposes. If you remember, the
4:42 Russians right now use use this
4:45 equipment to control drones that are
4:47 flying along the border further in the
4:49 direction of the western parts of
4:50 Ukraine, so it's like the southwestern
4:52 and the south and the western parts of
4:54 Ukraine. So this is a very important
4:56 equipment and Russians promise probably
4:58 to remove this equipment if there is a
5:00 deal between Russia, Ukraine, Europe,
5:02 and the United States.
5:05 The next paragraph is also very
5:07 interesting. In exchange, Build reports
5:09 Moscow is demanding to retain control
5:11 over the entire Donbas region, the
5:14 absence of any NATO bases in the Baltic
5:16 States, and withdrawal of Finland from
5:19 the alliance. So this is a very
5:20 important demand because according to
5:23 this, Russia retain control of the
5:25 entire Donbas, but the question is that
5:27 nobody yet has specified what is Donbas.
5:31 So you know that when you are being
5:34 asked what is Donbas, we can always say
5:36 that the Donbas is somewhere in the
5:37 south and the southeast and in the east
5:40 of Ukraine, but nobody knows the exact
5:43 borders of Donbas. And according to the
5:45 statements, according to this demand, we
5:50 that Donbas is something very big and
5:53 that Donbas may include, for example,
5:55 towns like Kherson, Zaporizhzhia,
5:59 Slaviansk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka.
6:01 So I would like to remind you that right
6:04 some areas of Ukraine were highlighted
6:07 with black color and this is the
6:10 ultimatum that was issued by the
6:12 president of Russia in 2024 so when the
6:15 Russians once again proposed the
6:17 Ukrainian side to finish the conflict
6:19 but in 2024th the Ukrainians rejected
6:21 that plan and probably this is exactly
6:24 what the Russians consider as a Donbass
6:27 so which means that Russia demands these
6:29 territories to become territories under
6:31 complete Russian control but as we know
6:34 the president of Ukraine Zelenskyy has
6:36 also rejected this idea.
6:40 paragraph, another important issue
6:42 raised by Russians is Finland. According
6:46 the absence of any NATO bases in Baltic
6:49 states and the withdrawal of Finland
6:51 from the alliance. So this paragraph is
6:53 very interesting because from this
6:55 position we can say that the European
6:57 Union and the United States of America
6:59 would never accept this paragraph but
7:01 telling the truth I'm not sure about
7:04 it's probably a coins not a coincidence
7:07 that during the previous two months we
7:09 received a lot of updates about talks
7:11 between the president of Finland, the
7:13 prime minister of Norway and the Russian
7:15 Federation and telling the truth due to
7:18 the situation that the president of
7:19 Russia issued this ultimatum or included
7:23 Finland in the common understanding of
7:26 the future security architecture of
7:28 Europe. I believe that this part was
7:31 negotiated between Putin and the staff
7:34 during their previous phone call. So
7:37 the president of Russia is not a person
7:39 who would include such statements or
7:41 such demands if he doesn't know for sure
7:43 that this situation may not work out but
7:46 due to probably previous recent
7:48 conversations between these two leaders
7:50 we believe that probably
7:52 this is something that cannot be ruled
7:55 out from the future architecture of
7:58 Europe. So this is very interesting. As
8:02 the president of Russia demands to
8:04 remove bases from this area and this is
8:06 a very important situation because
8:08 first of all we're talking about
8:10 blockade of Kaliningrad. And as you may
8:12 know, these days the Baltic states,
8:14 Poland, Lithuania intensify and try to
8:18 increase their military capabilities
8:21 through the Suwalki gap. So this is the
8:23 Suwalki gap. This is the territory
8:25 between the region of Kaliningrad of
8:27 Russia and the Republic of Belarus. This
8:29 is according to military experts is the
8:31 weakest point in the NATO structure. And
8:35 right now the Baltic states, Lithuania,
8:37 Latvia, Estonia are trying to improve
8:39 their position significantly. We have
8:41 reports about NATO bases, about German
8:44 bases. We are talking about different
8:46 military camps. So right now the Baltic
8:48 states are trying to militarize this
8:50 region with the purpose of course to
8:52 feel safe and to understand that nothing
8:55 is going to happen like happened with
8:56 Ukraine. So and Russia is demands not to
8:59 build bases in this area. From one side
9:01 this is a very risky situation for the
9:04 Baltic states because if something
9:05 happens, of course the absence of bases
9:08 means that the Russians would be able to
9:10 walk through the territory of Baltic
9:12 state with minimal resistance from the
9:17 Moving further, now we are coming to
9:19 Ukraine. Ukraine would be required to
9:21 remain non-aligned and renounce NATO.
9:24 The ports of Odessa, Nikolaev would be
9:26 demilitarized and the freedom of
9:28 navigation would be established in the
9:30 Black and Baltic Seas. So this is the
9:32 most important demand. Ukraine should be
9:35 neutral according to Russia's demands
9:37 and the latest ultimatum issued by
9:40 Putin. But we know that Zelenskyy will
9:43 never accept this demand and these
9:46 ultimatums. But at the same time we see
9:48 that Zelenskyy is already out of Ukraine
9:50 for 14 days and who knows, maybe the
9:52 Ukrainians, maybe Zelenskyy will not be
9:54 able to return back to Ukraine at from
9:57 starting from this stage of the special
9:59 military operation. Who knows? Because
10:01 if he hasn't returned back for the
10:03 previous 14 days, then who knows, maybe
10:05 he would not be able to to return back
10:07 to Ukraine during the next month. So
10:09 that is why you know that's maybe the
10:14 even don't listen exactly the opinion of
10:16 the president of Ukraine, Zelensky,
10:18 because he's not even on the territory
10:19 of Ukraine. So who knows how the things
10:21 are going to develop like this, but as
10:23 for the official position of Ukraine,
10:25 they will never accept this. And also
10:28 the Ukrainians confirmed their
10:30 non-acceptance of this of this part of
10:34 the possible architecture with massive
10:37 attack deep inside of the territory of
10:39 Russia. We will discuss this in a
10:40 minute. During the night, the Ukrainians
10:42 used around 1,200 drones and as a result
10:45 of attack, the Ukrainians managed to
10:47 deal significant damage to the Russia's
10:49 objects of infrastructure.
10:51 And the last paragraph,
10:53 I think one of the most important
10:54 paragraphs is that Russia also proposes
10:57 transforming Moldova into a federal
10:59 republic that includes Gagauzia Gagauzia
11:02 and the Transnistria. So this is the
11:05 state of Moldova. So when talking about
11:07 Moldova, this is Transnistria, these red
11:09 territories. During the upcoming hours,
11:11 we will add Gagauzia to Moldova for
11:13 better understanding. We will discuss
11:15 this tomorrow in details once again. But
11:18 summarizing everything, this is the
11:19 territory where Gagauzia is located, not
11:22 including Kishinev, the capital, of
11:24 course. So somewhere in the southern
11:26 parts of Moldova, we can find the region
11:30 of Gagauzia, which is also the
11:32 pro-Russian region of Moldova. And
11:34 according to these demands of Russia,
11:37 the Moldova should become a federal
11:40 republic with three
11:42 with three entities, Moldova itself,
11:45 the state of Transnistria, and the state
11:48 of Gagauzia. And the most important part
11:50 of this proposal or this issue that if
11:53 Moldova decides to enter the European
11:56 Union, then these two parts of the
11:59 federal republic of Moldova should have
12:02 the right to conclude referendums on
12:06 their territories. Obviously, first
12:08 referendums about independence and we
12:10 understand these referendums because if
12:13 about independence on the territory of
12:15 Gaugasia and Transnistria, this means
12:17 that the next step would be referendums
12:20 to enter and or to join the Russian
12:22 Federation. So this these are the
12:24 proposals of Russian
12:25 Russia regarding Moldova. Now it's time
12:28 for the European countries to make
12:30 decisions and telling the truth based on
12:32 the reports that we start to receiving
12:34 from the European Union. It seems that
12:36 Zelenskyy is the only person who doesn't
12:38 like this proposal because we're talking
12:40 about other European leaders, we see
12:42 that they began fighting for a position
12:47 who is going to represent the European
12:49 Union. You know that if the Europeans if
12:51 the Europeans were not ready for talks
12:54 and or if the Europeans were not ready
12:59 some concessions in the Russian favor,
13:02 then of course the Europeans would
13:04 reject any idea of talks with Russians
13:06 and so on. But we see that there is a
13:08 line of people who wants to be in charge
13:11 of this process. As of the end of the
13:13 13th of November of 2026, we know that
13:16 the President Macron, he is the first he
13:18 announced that he is ready to to
13:21 represent Europe on talks between
13:23 Russia, Ukraine, the United States,
13:24 America, and Europe.
13:26 Other people support not Macron, but
13:29 they support Kaja Kallas, the head of
13:32 the European diplomacy.
13:34 And there are more and more candidates
13:36 for this position right now. They're
13:38 fighting with each other for this right
13:40 to represent Europe. And you know that
13:42 this is another tricky step from the
13:44 President of Russia, Putin, because it
13:47 will take it may take months before the
13:49 Europeans find a candidate to represent
13:53 Europe in these talks. And this month
13:56 the Russians would continue the special
13:57 military operation. The Russians would
13:59 continue gaining new territories and
14:01 destroying the infrastructure of
14:03 Ukraine. And even if the Europeans are
14:05 capable of finding this person who will
14:08 represent them, who knows how the first
14:11 round of talks ends with the new
14:13 representatives because following the
14:16 round of talks between Europe, Russia,
14:18 Ukraine, and the United States America,
14:20 the Europeans may uh probably dismiss
14:23 their representative and to start
14:25 electing a new one. So this may be an
14:27 endless story just to find a
14:29 representative of Europe and the
14:31 president of Russia understands this
14:33 well and probably this is the reason why
14:35 he proposes and he accepts the idea to
14:38 include Europe to the process.
14:43 Now let's return back to Ukraine and
14:45 let's discuss the situation on the
14:46 ground. During the previous 24 hours,
14:48 the map has been adjusted. The Russians,
14:51 according to the pro-Russian sources,
14:53 improved their positions significantly
14:55 through the Kharkiv region and these are
14:57 the changes on the ground. This is the
14:59 end of the 12th of November and this is
15:01 already the end of the 13th of November
15:03 of 2026. The Russians, according to the
15:06 group of forces north as well as
15:08 according to the group of forces uh
15:11 west north and the Minister of Defense
15:13 have improved their positions around the
15:15 settlement of Kotovka and these are the
15:18 changes on the ground between the dates.
15:19 This is the end of the 12th of November
15:22 and this is already uh the end of the
15:24 13th of November. The Russians reported
15:26 the village of Kotovka was taken by
15:28 Russians and the complete control and
15:30 based on this report, we have adjusted
15:32 the map, but yet we haven't received
15:34 even a single report. We're talking
15:36 about video, any video that can confirm
15:38 this. Anyway, we see that Russians
15:41 continue their offensive operation for
15:43 them in the southern and the
15:45 southeastern direction with the purpose
15:47 to cut the road between uh the
15:49 settlements of Starosaltov and I
15:51 Prikalot. Now the Russians right now are
15:53 trying to deteriorate Ukraine's logistic
15:55 uh to collapse, to destroy the logistic
15:57 at all and if Russians are able to
16:00 continue advancing further through the
16:02 Kharkiv direction and to take under
16:04 complete control these territories that
16:06 we have right now highlighted on the
16:07 map, obviously this would lead to a very
16:11 bad situation for the contingent of the
16:13 armed forces of Ukraine through the
16:14 settlement of Veliky Burluk.
16:18 Now let's move further and let's the
16:19 situation in the city of Kupiansk.
16:21 During the previous 24 hours, additional
16:23 changes on the ground were recorded
16:25 recorded through this area as well. This
16:27 is the end of the 12th of November and
16:29 this is already the end of the 13th of
16:31 November. We have a video where we can
16:33 see Russian soldiers moving through the
16:36 city of Kupiansk-Uzlovoi, trying to
16:38 cross a pontoon bridge in this area. And
16:41 in this moment, we can see Russians
16:43 entering a forest. So these episodes
16:46 took place right exactly through this
16:47 area. This is the pontoon bridge that
16:49 the Russians crossed. And when they
16:51 crossed, they began moving in the
16:52 southern direction while they entered
16:55 this forest along the river. So these
16:57 two episodes of this video confirmed
16:59 that Russians have strong control on the
17:01 Ukraine side of the river Oskol and that
17:04 the Russians continue advancing further
17:06 in the western direction. And it seems
17:07 that the Russians have much much better
17:10 positions in this area. And it seems
17:12 that maybe even the western eastern
17:14 Kharkiv offensive operation has already
17:16 begun. But neither the group of forces
17:19 north nor the group of forces west nor
17:21 the Minister of Defense make any
17:23 statements on this matter because the
17:25 Russians are trying to keep the
17:27 information about this offensive in a
17:29 secret for as long as possible.
17:32 Now let's talk about the city of
17:34 Konstantinovka. The President of Russia
17:38 proposed a humanitarian operation in
17:41 this area. Yet the official
17:44 position of Ukraine
17:46 wasn't published, hasn't been revealed.
17:48 We don't know for sure. The Russians two
17:50 days in a row asked the western
17:53 countries, the western representatives
17:55 about the Alyoshki humanitarian
17:57 operation. Today they made many
17:59 statements on this matter. The Russians
18:02 want this Alyoshki this Konstantinovka
18:05 ceasefire because the Russians want to
18:08 prove and to confirm that the city is
18:11 under complete control of Russia. But
18:14 the humanitarian operation in
18:15 Konstantinovka will allow everyone to
18:17 see who actually controls the city. And
18:20 I would like to remind you that
18:22 um most of the pro-Ukrainian sources,
18:25 the city of Konstantinovka is almost
18:27 under complete and strong control of the
18:29 Armed Forces of Ukraine. And this is the
18:31 map that you may see through every
18:33 single uh pro-Ukrainian source. And of
18:36 course, uh there is a very big gap when
18:39 talking about uh this territory between
18:41 um maximum pro-Ukrainian sources and
18:44 other sources, sometimes even neutral
18:46 and pro-Western sources. So of course,
18:48 it's very important to understand who is
18:50 telling the truth and who is lying. But
18:52 due to the position of Russia, of Putin
18:55 on this matter, it seems that the
18:57 Russians are telling us the truth when
18:59 talking about the city. As of now, we
19:01 are waiting for the reaction of Ukraine
19:04 and probably due to massive attack deep
19:06 inside of the territory of Russia, it
19:08 seems that the reaction is simple. The
19:10 Ukrainians will reject this proposal.
19:14 Now let's move further. Let's discuss
19:16 the situation in the area of the city of
19:18 Dobropolye. These days, almost every
19:20 single day we adjust the map in this
19:22 area. Let's take a look at changes at
19:25 changes during the previous two, three
19:28 days. As you can see, the map has been
19:31 adjusted significantly between the 9th
19:33 and the uh 13th of November of 2026.
19:38 Many territories to the north of
19:40 Dobropolye, many territories around the
19:42 settlement of Shilikovka and uh to the
19:44 west of Dobropolye were taken by
19:46 Russians and we see that the Russians
19:48 continue advancing further towards the
19:50 river of Byk as a neutral barrier in
19:53 this area. Russians want to establish
19:55 complete control along the river. This
19:56 would allow the Russians to release
19:59 forces for other directions. So the
20:01 situation here is quite complicated and
20:03 today the pro-Russian sources published
20:05 a video where we can see at least two
20:07 episodes with Russian soldiers on the
20:10 territory of Shilikovka and these
20:12 Russian soldiers confirm strong control
20:14 over the settlement by Russians. And I
20:16 would like to remind you that according
20:18 to the pro-Ukrainian sources, these
20:19 territories are also under complete and
20:21 strong control of the Armed forces of
20:23 Ukraine. So right now the gap between
20:26 maps of the Minister of Defense of
20:29 Ukraine and Russia are very difficult
20:32 it is being done for a reason because
20:35 when negotiations during negotiations
20:39 parties always raise the question about
20:41 territories. If you remember Zelensky
20:44 Zelensky two days ago said that Russia
20:47 wants half of Donbas under complete
20:50 control of Ukraine. Maybe he was talking
20:53 about the Donetsk region, but when
20:54 talking about the Donetsk region it is
20:55 not half, it's even less than 20%.
20:58 According to of course from one map to
21:00 another this number varies, but
21:02 obviously when you don't color the
21:03 territories that are under complete
21:05 control of Russia you may say that the
21:07 entire Donetsk region is under complete
21:09 control of the armed forces of Ukraine,
21:10 but it doesn't mean that this this
21:12 statement has anything common with the
21:14 reality. So this is the reason why the
21:16 President of Russia also during talks
21:18 raised a lot of times the question about
21:20 gray zones because sometimes there are
21:23 no gray zones, but gray zones are being
21:26 used by the Ukrainian side to confirm
21:29 that there is no strong control of
21:31 Russia. So this is the situation and of
21:33 course the territories remain the most
21:35 difficult issue for negotiations because
21:38 even if the parties are able to find
21:40 solution on many questions and most of
21:42 the questions to find the line of combat
21:45 contact or to find the front line would
21:48 become very difficult and this issue may
21:51 force the parties to resume or to
21:53 restart clashes many times in the
21:56 Even if there is a common solution and
21:59 common understanding about the end of
22:03 And now let's discuss the situation in
22:04 the Zaporizhzhia direction. We have
22:06 small changes around the city of
22:08 Stepnohirsk. The Russians continue
22:10 advancing in the northern direction.
22:12 These are the changes on the ground. We
22:14 have a video published by the
22:15 pro-Ukrainian sources and in this video
22:17 we can see how Ukrainians were attacking
22:19 edge positions of Russians along this
22:21 stronghold. Based on this video we came
22:23 to the conclusion that the Russians
22:26 territories they lost during the
22:27 Ukrainian counter-offensive operation.
22:30 Right now the clashes are taking place
22:32 for the second defense layer between the
22:34 cities of Orekhov and Stepnogorsk. We
22:36 are talking about these yellow lines.
22:38 When this line falls, Russians would be
22:40 able to continue advancing further to
22:42 the third line of defense in this area.
22:46 But we understand that the conflict will
22:49 continue despite the next round of talks
22:51 and so on because the Ukrainian side
22:53 during the night launched one of the
22:55 biggest attack deep inside the territory
23:00 drones the Ukrainian side used for these
23:02 purposes and the Ukrainians deal
23:04 significant damage to the
23:07 Saratov oil base. The Saratov oil base
23:10 has been attacked by the Ukrainian side
23:12 for fourth time since the beginning of
23:14 October and the Ukrainians attacked the
23:17 Volgograd oil refinery. So this facility
23:20 was attacked by the Ukrainians and the
23:22 pro-Russian sources claim that as a
23:24 result of attack the facility was
23:27 significantly damaged and probably we
23:29 can see this from this angle, from the
23:31 screen a lots of fire
23:33 and obviously this is not an answer that
23:38 the Ukrainians are ready to negotiate
23:40 Russia's demands. This is completely
23:42 opposite answer that Ukrainians are not
23:44 able, are not ready to make concessions
23:49 regarding the territorial issues. So
23:51 that is why everything is possible and
23:53 the most important possibility is that
23:55 the conflict will escalate during the
23:57 winter military campaign. And that's it
24:00 for the for today. The Military Summary
