If you missed yesterdays SitRep, check it out here
As usual we start with Russian losses per 27/12. Reported by the general staff. We also include (if available) pictures or video's of captured/damaged equipment or personnel.
+620 men
+7 APCs
+2 artillery systems
The night in the Zaporizhzia region turned out to be hot. The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the russians in Tokmak, Berdyansk and in the Chernihivka areas. The amount of dead and wounded is being clarified.
Today the AFU hit multiple Russian accumulation sites and warehouses in Kakhovka, Nova Kakhovka, Hola Prystan, Melitopol and Berdyansk.
The purge. In St. Petersburg, the head of the factory, where almost all submarines of the Black Sea Fleet were built, died suddenly.
Over to the general events. Russia keeps sending new reinforcements to Ukraine. Now a T-64 column in Siberia was seen moving west.
Russian media report that 8 mobilized from Kaliningrad, Russia were detained in the Moscow region. They were sent to occupied Luhansk region, deserted, and then came to the police station of the city of Podolsk to voluntarily hand over their hand- and machine guns🤦♀️
Footage of a Russian Pantsir-S1 appeared. But take a good look at the camouflage. Judging by the colors, this is the export version intended to be sent to Iraq.
They are most likely withholding export versions because of a shortage of weapons in Ukraine.
Ukrainian military journalist Volodymyr Zolkin with reference to his sources reports that as a result of yesterday's attack on Engels, 5 TU-95MS were damaged, 17 soldiers killed, 26 wounded (3 of them in serious condition), and the control tower was destroyed.
Unconfirmed
In Ukraine, the property of Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov in the amount of almost UAH 2 billion was seized. Underground Russian warehouses were found, where more than 160,000 tons of Ukrainian iron ore was stored.
Sweden additionally allocated almost $19.2 million (200 million Swedish kroner) to support the defense of Ukraine. In November, Sweden announced the provision of a record defense aid package of 3 billion Swedish kroner ($287 million) to Ukraine.
The bodies of 42 fallen defenders were returned to Ukraine. The Office of the Commissioner for Missing Persons, together with law enforcement agencies, continues to bring home these fallen heroes. In total, Ukraine managed to bring home the bodies of 869 defenders .
Italy is considering providing Ukraine with air defense systems, — The Prime Minister of Italy said in a conversation with Zelenskyi. Earlier Italy supplied Ukraine with a SAMP-T battery together with France.
➡️Some accounts claim that Russia has recaptured 50% of Opytne (3) based on footage whose provenance/date cannot be confirmed. Yes there is fighting, but do you know Russia lies, a lot?
➡️Fighting in Soledar (1) / Bakhmuts'ke (2). The situation is hard.
➡️ Avdiivka mainly positional combat and mostly artillery. Russian troops have ceased mass attacks in the past two days.
➡️ Mar'inka is under control, local sources say. Fighting continues.
➡️ Vuhledar was bombarded with incendiary ammo.
➡️South of Kreminna (2), fighting is heavy. Recon units already made it very close to the city outskirts.
➡️Ploshchanka (1) is also a hot environment. Russia attacked there very big today. There are still fights. This isn't a regular counterattack, much bigger.
➡️No map changes
➡️AFU activity around Vilshana has increased. Today the General Staff also announced that Pershotravneve (1) was shelled east of Vilshana. Which makes it plausible that the Ukrainian armed forces are moving forward. Waiting for confirmation
