An overview of the daily events in the war between Russia and Ukraine. With two more attacks today on positions deep in Russian territory. Which raises the question, what can Ukraine do more?
1/X
As usual we start with the daily Russian losses reported by the Ukrainian General Staff. We also include visually confirmed captured and damaged Russian (heavy) equipment.
+510 personnel
+5 tanks
+5 APCs
+61 cruise missiles (+1 compared to yesterdays first data)
Yesterday, soldiers of the Air Command "South" yesterday shot down 15 cruise missiles:
- 7 missiles over the Mykolaiv region
- 8 missiles over the Odesa region
The amount shot at the regions is not known yet, but we know this is the area where some missiles hit infrastructure.
Donetsk region, destroyed Russian tank T-72B3, BTR-82A and armored car "Tigr-M"
A group Russians were destroyed, probably somewhere in the east.
Over to the general events. The day started with a straight hit on Kursk airport. Governor of the Kursk region, Roman Starovoyt, said that an oil storage tank caught fire in the area of the airfield as a result of a drone attack. According to him, there were no casualties.
Not much later, reports came in that in Bryansk something was hit. Two UAVs hit an oil refinery owned by state company Rosneft. The same area was reportedly hit earlier on 30/11, destroying oil storage tanks which could hold up to 15.000 tons of Kerosene.
Other news. There is information that the United States was able to convince the Moroccan authorities to supply Kyiv with spare parts for T-72 tanks. The Kingdom is armed with 100 T-72B/T-72BK tanks.
In Latvia, they decided to cancel the license of the Russian opposition TV channel Dozhd after they did a call to help the Russian military.
Defense Minister Reznikov said that Ukrainian firms have set up production of individual parts for the repair of Western artillery on their own. He also said that he is working with the west on the distribution of tanks and aircrafts, but faces some problems regarding that issue.
Another successful exchange of prisoners. On Armed Forces Day, 60 soldiers of the armed forces, the National Guard, and the DPSU - 58 men and two women, 15 officers and 45 privates and sergeants - are returning home.

Zelenskyi at the front near Sloviansk on the national Day of The Armed Forces of Ukraine! True leadership.
➡️Russia attacked #Beryslav and #Kherson. There are wounded.
➡️No further map changes, or activity towards the left bank reported besides some recon around the islands.
Our guess is that this area will be inactive, and activity will move eastwards
➡️Heaviest fighting around #Maryinka, where Russia tries to break trough. AFU soldiers report the situation as hard, but say Russia held back
➡️Russia has reinforced south of Pavlivka. Armored vehicles were noticed in Petrivka. New attack is expected
➡️No map changes
➡️For the third day in a row, Russia pushes towards #Klishchiivka but is repelled
➡️Additional AFU artillery has been deployed to the front, doing damage to Russians near the choking point east of Ivanhrad
➡️#Soledar and Bakhmuts'ke are heavily shelled
➡️No map changes.
➡️#Tavilzhanka and #Bogdanivske north of Kupyansk/Petropavlivka were shelled by Russians, which might indicate AFU presence. Waiting for confirmation.
The whole area highlighted in yellow is vague. Very little info comes out. Have info? DM!
➡️“North of Kreminna, there is a ‘struggle’ for the P66”, says 🇷🇺 warblogger Wargonzo
