Ukraine daily update November 6, 2025

Let’s see where this ends up as mentioned – local counteroffensives or something bigger from Ukraine in the future.

In Pokrovsk, it looks like below, which may suggest that they are withdrawing from the threatened area.

The small red dot near Kozatzke is a confirmed RU position from November 3.

The initial guess when we heard about GUR was that they had entered and secured the corridor to be able to reposition the units inside the area threatened by the scale – it seems like that was correct.

This war has been allowed to continue for far too long, and the statement “we can end it with a defeat for Russia if we want” from the USA and Europe is very inappropriate.

How many five-year-olds have to be tortured, violated, and then murdered in front of their parents before enough is enough?

If we can challenge Russia, why don’t we? That is the question our elected officials should answer instead of buying the most expensive military equipment we can find on the market when what has proven to work best are drones for a few hundred.

Europe still buys Russian oil products and allows our companies to sell what Russia needs through intermediaries. In a Gerandrone, there are hundreds of components from Western companies that are still available for Russia in 2025.

Taiwan, Israel, and South Korea all sell technology to Russia – what the 😡

We will address the epic double standards of the USA in another post, but it is undeniable that Russia has been treated differently here by both Biden and then Trump 2.

Venezuela is more in line with how the USA usually acts – they go to war when they feel slightly threatened or want to plunder a country’s resources, and then they call it democratization.

I generally don’t like where Europe is heading – it was almost as if they voted through Chat Control 2.0.

Similar to when the EUR was to be introduced, and the countries that initially voted no in the referendums continued to vote until it became a yes, then exclaimed, “the people have spoken, we will do as they demand and introduce the euro.”

We have significant problems in Europe, and now the solution, as always, is higher taxes because everything will be better that way.

It’s also good if we know exactly what all citizens think and feel for the country’s and children’s safety.

The police have cracked down on organized crime significantly, which is good – they have understood that if you take the money, you take away the motivation to be a lifestyle criminal.

Take houses, take children, take cars, and freeze bank accounts ✊✊

In the country of Sweden, there is absolutely no need to be criminal; everyone has food on the table, everyone can study, and no one needs to freeze.

Do you think everyone in Angola, where none of the above is available, was criminal when I lived there?

The only problem is that if future politicians decide to expand the concept of when these measures can be taken, as they have chosen to do with the HMF law, asset forfeiture could reach new heights for far more than just gangs and criminal clans.

You can be the safest in the world knowing that when the first government critic loses their home, everyone will fall silent – no one will want to risk that.

Naturally, this is done in steps, but there are already warnings from the political side that the threat and hatred from citizens are too much, and in the UK, they are talking about “years in prison” for thought crimes now, and the right opinion is just a political decision away now that the door has been opened for freedom of speech to take a back seat to what is deemed more important.

Politicians and those in power like more control and will advance their positions if allowed, so anything that makes it harder to “hate and threaten” (criticize poor politicians) is a possibility.

Serious crime, corruption, and mismanagement are somewhat new to us and unfortunately something we have to learn to live with. Bribes work just like lobbying, and since salaries in Sweden are quite low and there is a lot of money circulating, high bribes can be paid out.

The police are already struggling, and the crime resolution rate is ridiculously low – if they can bribe their way to an even lower resolution rate, hardly anyone will raise an eyebrow, right?

“Economic crime is risk-free” is the saying, and FI, which is supposed to be the watchdog, usually loses employees to well-paid positions in finance – one might wonder why?

Pension funds don’t even get a slap on the wrist when they invest our pension money in things politicians find amusing but are not allowed to invest in – like Northvolt, for example.

If you can combine bribes with threats, you probably have pretty good chances of getting what you want, even in Sweden, and now in 2025, both are available, along with some expertise from Russia, and a China that bribes its way into everything.

The solution always ends up being more controls that criminals find ways around, leaving the citizens to deal with the consequences.

When Encrochat was decrypted, the police were surprised to find that every gang, professional criminal, and criminal clan had a “personal banker” laundering their money.

It hasn’t really been widely reported since then – perhaps the banks didn’t want any exposure.

Or Swedbank’s open money laundering from Russia, which ended with the USA fining them, and it turned out to be an FSB operation with honey traps for the leadership.

The UK was a money laundering hub for Russian rubles for an exact eternity, and any other criminals who wanted to launder money through the UK could do so.

There is no shortage of wealthy Angolans in Europe, where the citizens struggle for a meal. Not until the Angolan government itself asked Europe to cut off the channels did they do so – everyone wanted the blood money of the dictatorship’s children.

When the scale is manageable, everything is fine, but now it’s spiraling out of control everywhere, and Europe is starting to become quite difficult to govern, I guess?

Germany showed for several years that their administration was virtually blocked when it came to making decisions that were beneficial for Ukraine.

It’s not just M taking bribes from the business sector anymore; the disease has spread.

I welcome Ukraine joining JEF now, NATO can forget about it.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-expeditionary-force-launches-enhanced-partnership-with-ukraine-as-allies-step-up-further#:~:text=Press%20release-,Joint%20Expeditionary%20Force%20launches%20enhanced%20partnership%20with%20Ukraine%20as%20allies,an%20enhanced%20partnership%20with%20Ukraine.

It will become a defense alliance in the long run that encompasses the Baltic Sea, the Baltics, Poland, and Ukraine, which by definition then becomes our shield against the East.

A couple more countries are involved, and if we take this seriously, it works better than the EU defense force that Macron keeps talking about, or NATO.

The rest of the EU may have to contribute funds, but the countries needed are already involved and can solve the shield – brilliant.

I also welcome Ukraine’s full membership in the EU now in the first step together with Moldova.

Ukraine, Finland, the Baltic states, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway are probably among the countries where Russia will have the most difficulty navigating in the future, and we recognize a Chinese when we see them in bottle-bottom glasses.

Corruption can certainly be curbed in the long run, even though it is a bit of a fine tradition in Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic states.

We probably also need to reform the EU, as it is absolutely remarkable that Hungary and Slovakia, which are major net recipients, do not want Ukraine to join.

Portugal and Spain are also upset because they want to continue receiving a lot of funding and absolutely do not want to start sending money back to the EU – that was not why they joined.

If I were a dictator, I would reform the EU for free trade, free movement, and a few loose issues.

Then groups of countries can organize themselves on issues they find important together with like-minded countries – for example, JEF takes care of the bulwark against the barbarians from the east.

The EU’s huge cadre of overpaid officials and politicians will have a much smaller budget and much narrower mandates – fewer than the money-eating swarm of locusts they are today.

Instead of telling Poland how to handle various issues, one could solve it through free movement – those who do not like what Poland does can move?

I think that would be a brilliant function for the EU, where citizens can move to countries that suit them because not everyone will ever be as LGBTQ+ tolerant as Sweden, for example, that’s just the way it is.

Then people who feel mistreated have the opportunity to freely move to us – voila.

Sometimes I also wonder if there is a pull towards a new cold war by some unholy alliance?

Russia could have lost this war at least five times already, but primarily the USA and a few countries in Europe did everything they could to avoid it.

Why then, not everyone could have been paid by Russia, so surely there are other motives in the mix.

No one seems to like a strong middle class – it’s better if they work seven-day weeks so they don’t have time to complain like Johan No.1.

The USA probably had its best years as a nation during the Cold War (after the Federal Reserve was created because before that they probably had no national debt to deal with?).

Europe really has the chance to become something great, but the attraction to expand its power and grab money is quite strong. But if I can successfully run major international projects with ten nationalities in highly corrupt countries completely fairly, then our politicians in Europe should be able to do it too.

I have great hope that Ukraine, the Baltics, and Poland together with us Vikings in the North will be able to form a strong group that thinks alike and pulls in the same direction in the future.

Now we just have to make sure that we do not lose the Baltics just when we have decided, or that Ukraine retreats back to Lviv, but the framework is there for a strong defense to the east so that the hordes beyond the walls cannot manage to crawl over.

A good start, simply put.
