🇺🇦🧵🗣️Sunday morning update from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineRussiaWar (1/12): "The Russians are eagerly trying to destroy the #Pokrovske and #Vuhlehirsk power stations. Wave after wave has been sent but they have all been defeated. My friend at the Vuhleirsk power station is⬇️

2:"...completely baffled with what the Russians are up to. The Russians have not advanced one meter in the last 24 hours.
{I have given my friend a can of Swedish fermented herring ("surströmming") and they have already had their herring party down there. Got a video which I'll⬇️

3:"...post a bit later as it reveals too much about their position, so for security reasons you'll have to wait a bit. This much I can reveal: they have a military dog and IT liked both the smell and taste of the fermented herring.}⬇️

4:"We have an operation going on around #Vysokopillia in the #Kherson district. The Russians have a large garrison here and we are taking over more and more land around the town, mostly open ground. There have been rumours in the media that there are 2000 Russian troops but the⬇️

5:"...truth is probably between 500-1000. At the moment there have also been reports that the Russians have appealed for a green corridor. We really need as many Russian prisoners of war as possible in exchange for ours from Mauriopol.⬇️

6:"We have now demolished the bridge at #Darivka and considerably damaged the bridge at #Antonivkna. Furthermore, we have destroyed the road and the infra at the Nova K Khovka dam. We have thus effectively cut the Russian maintenance lines and cut the Kherson front in two.⬇️

7:"All of this done to facilitate the movement of our ground troops. During the guard days and this morning, we have hit Russian military infantry and depots at #Novakahovka, #Melitopol (railway), #Horlivka and a number of small arms depots. ⬇️

8:"We are catching up the Russians now in artillery fire. In fact, we have had more in the last 24 hours than the Russians.

Let's speculate a bit on the chances of the US wanting to deliver fighters to us. ⬇️

9:"When we wanted HIMARS the answer was absolutely NO, it's not going to happen. Now we have 12 and 8 more on the way. Why we didn't get them in the first place was the US fear of direct confrontation with the Russians. The Russians threatened with everything, even nukes.⬇️

10:"The more the Russian threats proved unrealistic to implement, the more inclined the West was to give us HIMARS. Finally, the West realised that the Russians have more sound than bite, and that the attack on the port of Odesa shows that the Russians have no respect for the ⬇️

11:"...agreements they have made. This is a situation that the West does not want, i.e. a Russia that does as it pleases despite agreements made. The West then has exactly two options: to intervene itself or to give us what we want. The first option would be the quickest and ⬇️

12:"...have the least casualties. Unfortunately this will not happen. The second option will take time and keep the war going for at least another 1-2 years. We can take Kherson and Kharkiv easier than we can take Donbas and Luhansk. With air support it would be quick.⬇️

13:"The decision on how long the war lasts is actually the West's decision. Difficult political decisions have to be made before the public in the West gets tired and support for us runs out. We are doing our part, please do your part too (I am referring to the politicians)."/End
