Russian precision strikes on the Ukrainian military do not stop. On the night of 24 January, Russian UAVs destroyed Ukrainian training military camps in the Zhitomir region and more military facilities in the Poltava region. More facilities used for accommodation of the military personnel were hit in Mirnograd. As a result of the strikes, military equipment used for the buildup of the defense line near Kurahovo was reportedly destroyed. More accommodation sites were hit in Kherson, where Ukrainian marines who take part in the operations on the eastern bank of the Dnieper, were destroyed. Russian missile strikes destroy the plans of the Ukrainian military command to carry out any operations with the military reserves from the rear regions. Over the past week alone, at least 17 facilities used for accommodation of Ukrainian servicemen and foreign mercenaries were destroyed in the Kharkiv region. For example, the last wave of strikes targeted the temporary accommodation points and manpower in the city of Kharkiv, as well as in Chuguev and Balakleya. The Ukrainian army is losing forces from the strategic reserve, which was aimed to plug the holes in the defense on the frontlines and to secure the operations of Ukrainian saboteurs on the territory of the Russian border regions. The defeat of the strategic reserve of the Ukrainian army results in Russian advance in several directions in the region. At least 35 settlements in the Kharkiv region are already under the Russian control and their number is growing. At the end of last week, Russian forces took control of the village of Krahmalnoe, which allows them to expand the zone of their control south of Kupyansk, secure their control of the strategically important road and push Ukrainian forces towards the Oskol river, where their maneuvers will be complicated and losses will increase. At the same time, the bad dreams of the Ukrainian command about the Russian offensive across the border in the Kharkiv region may soon come true. On 23 January, Ukrainian units reportedly retreated from the village of Pletnevka located near the Russian border northeast of Kharkiv. Russian artillery has been pounding Ukrainian positions in the area for several days. As a result, Russian troops managed to cross the border and conduct the mop up operation in the area, threatening the Ukrainian grouping in the main Ukrainian border stronghold in Volchansk. Some reports claimed Russian control of the village but some other denied this, saying that the Russian military stepped back across the border. The operation in the village is unlikely to mark the beginning of another large ground offensive in the Kharkiv region in the coming days, but it clearly demonstrates the weakness of the Ukrainian defense along the border.

Out on a rainy day having fun with a new toy/tool and friends. Alas the disgusting communist Libtards infesting Ottawa, are at it again. Turning fun loving, responsible, hard working people in criminals, while freeing violent criminals from jail, and protecting pedos.

From: SouthFront.press Military Overview: The footage confirmed the first defeat of the FrankenSAM air defense system, which is the Buk complex, adapted for launching RIM-7 Sea Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles of the US production, near the village of Cherkasskaya Lozovaya, Kharkiv region. Ukrainian troops for the first time used the Frankencam hybrid air defense system, which consists of elements of Soviet and Western weapons in early 2024. Battles are ongoing in the areas of the settlements of Gatyshche, Borisovka, Goptovka, Krasnoe, Pylne, Zelenoe, Strelechye, Kudiyevka, where Russian forces in small groups conduct reconnaissance by combat. According to Ukrainian military sources, up to 4-5 battalions of the Russian Armed Forces are operating on a front line 10 km wide and 3 km deep. Despite the fact that small forces are involved, the Russian army has significant reserves of the North group for their entry into battle. Most likely, they will be put into battle in the sector of the front where the advanced groups will be able to break through the main line of Ukrainian defense. In their turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sending reserve units to strengthen the defense in the Kharkiv region. Strengthening is necessary in view of the ongoing losses. The first servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were captured in the Kharkov direction :

From SouthFront: On 14 December, Russian President Vladimir Putin held an annual large press conference dedicated to summing up the results of the year. The President spoke with the citizens of the country in a direct line format. Of course, much attention was paid to the ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. Kiev could not help but try to commit another provocation amid such an important political event in Russia.
 On the night of 14 December, nine Ukrainian drones were shot down over the Russian Moscow and Kaluga regions. Another Kiev attack failed, but did not go unpunished. Yesterday, military facilities and strategically important infrastructure across Ukraine were subjected to several massive attacks by Russian drones and missiles. At night, Ukrainian forces in Sinkovka in the Kherson region, as well as Ukrainian ports on the Danube in the Odessa region came under drone strikes. During the attack, one of the Russian UAVs crashed in Romania not far from the Ukrainian port of Reni. In the afternoon, a new wave of missile strikes hit the Ukrainian military airfield Starokontantinov in the Khmelnitsky region. Russian strikes were also reported in the area of the Zhuliany airport in Kiev and in the Zhytomyr region. In the evening and at night, another wave of strikes hit targets in the Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Khmelnitsky regions, perhaps Starokonstantinov airfield was hit again. In response, the Ukrainian Air Force replied that they would not report on the results of Russian strikes with Kinzhal missiles. The speaker of the Air Force proudly stated that “the Russians should draw their own conclusions, whether their missiles hit targets or not.” The Russians definitely know where their missiles are hitting, while the Ukrainian Air Force has always lied about intercepting all of them, and their statements have always been refuted by the Ukrainian authorities and reporters themselves. In fact, neither Ukraine nor NATO have the means to effectively intercept Russian Kinzhal missiles. Their reports on the effectiveness of Russian strikes would be nothing but an effective advertisement of Russian weapons. In its turn, the helpless Ukrainian army struck at the long-suffering city of Mariupol. On the night of 15 December, Ukrainian forces fired three long-range missiles in the direction of the city. Presumably, Storm Shadow missiles were used for the attack. According to official information, a mobile boiler house and a warehouse of building materials were destroyed. Local sources clarified that the strikes targeted the territory of a concrete plant, which is of great importance for the reconstruction of the city. Unable to win on the battlefield, Kiev is trying its best to prevent Russians from building a new peaceful life in the regions it has lost.
