SitRep - 01/12 - 50 Ukrainian Heroes came home
An overview of the daily events in the war between #Russia and #Ukraine. It is clear that Ukraine is trying to strengthen diplomatic ties with the EU/West and speed up arms deliveries. The need is high!
1/X
As usual we start with an overview of Russian losses reported by the Ukrainian General Staff. And we include captured and/or damaged heavy equipment.
+560 men personnel
+1 tank
+5 APCs
+2 artillery systems
There is a big chance we will pass the 90.000 tomorrow
Overnight the AFU hit a railway junction in occupied #illovaisk.
A nice trophy park in the east

🇩🇪 The German MOD will present a proposal to the government to deploy Patriot systems in Ukraine
"Today, I again convinced the German Ministry of Defense that the deployment of Patriot in Ukraine will increase the security of both Ukraine and Poland," the Polish MoD wrote.
Negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU will begin in the near future - Minister of State for European Affairs at the German MFA, Anna Luhrmann
Another package, presumably containing explosives, was found at the US Embassy in Madrid.
50 heroes mostly from Mariupol/Azovstal returned.
Biden asks Congress to approve additional $37bn aid to Ukraine, - U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland
Patriot would work best in western Ukraine. This place is ideal because both the Polish border and the territory of Ukraine will be protected at the same time, - the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Blaszczak.
Germany again announced an aid package and seems to understand Ukraine's need for more aid.
Also The Netherlands, Norway and Estonia once again stepped up.
🇺🇦Ukraine is negotiating to replenish the stockpile of missiles for S-300 anti-aircraft systems, - Reznikov
And also calls on partners to accumulate their defense industry and study Iranian drones together in order to effectively counter them.
To the fronts, #Kherson
▶️No map changes
▶️AFU hit occupied #Oleshky, #Kakhovka, #Tavriia.
▶️There is a decrease in the number of 🇷🇺 military and equipment in Oleshky
▶️In Kherson, a multi-story building was damaged due to night shelling. Also electricity dissapeared for a while
#Bakhmut
▶️Russia captured Kurdyumivka and Ozarianivka. Today we saw visuals of 🇷🇺 Wagner PMC soldiers in the vicinity/inside the towns which add up to local sources that told us the towns are lost.
▶️Odradvivka is likely captured, but unconfirmed.
▶️AFU reinforcements arrived
▶️Russia keeps attacking #Bilohorivka, #Yakovlivka and #Soledar/#Bakhmutske. All these attacks are repelled for now.
▶️Fighting/shelling in #Klishchiivka reported.
Bakhmut outskirts are completely flattened.. it looks like a nuclear bomb dropped...
#Donetsk-#Vuhledar-#Pavlivka
▶️No map changes
▶️Russia restarted firing at #Pavlivka overnight, using incendiary ammution which burns/destroys everything on its way
▶️Russian attacks from the north/eastern part of Maryinka were repelled
▶️Vuhledar heavily damaged due to shelling
#Kupyansk-#Svatove
▶️Reportedly a Russian base was captured by the Ukrainian forces and this appears to be Kuzemivka. We need further confirmation but initial geolocation indicate two possibilities
📍49.518606750196824, 37.982164509790344
📍49.52192873344784, 37.960232142932576
The capture of Kuzemivka would pave the way to Svatove as Kuzemivka was a stronghold. Only the small settlements of Kryvoshyivka and Zmiivka are left towards Svatove.
If true, AFU will likely push east of Kolomyichykha to force remaining troops to retreat southeast to Svatove.
#Kreminna
▶️Russian sources say the AFU was spotted just 2km south of Kreminna trough Serebryansky forest.
▶️I changed the AFU area of control around Zhytlivka more east. AFU is confirmed present 5km west of the town.
▶️Chervona Dibrova still unconfirmed, but likely under AFU.
