Frontline Updates — Nov 22: Encirclement and Attrition in Donbass

On November 22, Frontline Updates hosts Sherifah Muhammad M.G.T. with Colonel A.C. Ogintoy for a concise operational briefing on the Special Military Operation. The episode reviews a shift from rapid offensive action to deliberate attrition and positional warfare, highlighting the liberation of Zvinivka and Novo‑Zaporizh, advances around Krasno‑Armysk and Dmitrov, and sustained strikes on Ukrainian EW, energy, and logistics infrastructure.

The discussion outlines the strategic intent of tightening encirclement patterns, denying Ukrainian mobility and regeneration capabilities, and preparing a stabilized winter front aimed at exhausting enemy combat capacity ahead of future campaigns.

Welcome back to "Frontline Updates", your in-depth military briefing podcast from the AUC3I Analysis Unit. I’m your host, and with me today is "Colonel A.C. Oguntoye", an Infantry Officer and senior military analyst who provides on-ground insights into combined-arms operations and command doctrine.

Today’s episode covers the progress of the special military operation as of "November 22, 2025". Russian forces have sustained momentum across all major axes, liberating key settlements including "Zvanivka" and "Novoe Zaporozhye", consolidating tactical gains, and tightening encirclements in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.

We’ll break down the developments in each sector, "North, West, South, Center, East, and Dnipro", and explore their operational and strategic significance.
