As usual we start with Russian losses per 01/01. We also included captured or damaged equipment and captured personnel.

+760 men personnel
+2 tanks
+9 APCs
+46 UAVs
+13 cruise missiles

45 shahed 136/131 were destroyed this night. While writing this SitRep, Russia is attacking Ukraine with hordes of Shaheds again. Tomorrow we will see the outcome of it.

In Krasnodar they created a new cemetary.. To bury the villains that were recruited into Wagner.

Today Ukrainian aviation made 13 strikes on the areas occupied by Russia. Also artillery units hit 2 areas of concentration of the enemy's manpower and military equipment.

It is reported that a Russian base in Makeevka was hit by the AFU. There are numbers going around that vary from 100 to even 600 casualties. I think 600 is too exaggerated but we will see. Nice hit.

Another reportedly Russian base in Kherson region was hit.

The AFU hit a 2S4 Tyulpan, unlikely to function in the near future.

We did it. The 72th brigade now has a DJI Mavic 3 which is already in service. Thank you so much.

ATACMS missiles are exactly what Ukraine needs now

"By denying Ukraine the means for long-range strikes, we have given Russia a haven from which it is killing Ukrainians," - retired Lt. General Hodges.

To the fronts, #Bakhmut

➡️There are unconfirmed reports that the AFU near Kurdyumivka took back some ground (3). This is purely based on Russian channels moaning about setbacks there
➡️Russia still pushes east towards Pidhorodne (2)
➡️Fighting east of Soledar (1) continues

#Donetsk-#Vuhledar-#Pavlivka

➡️General Staff since a while reported that Vuhledar (2) was 'attacked'. Probably shelling/tank fire.
➡️Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka, Mar'inka, and Novomykhailivka were shelled
➡️Fighting in Mar'inka continues (1) without changes. The city is ruined.

#Kupyansk-#Svatove

➡️Footage appeared from Russians reportedly withdrawing from Novoselivs'ke (2). Shared by Vladimir Novikov, Leader of the Zaporizhzia militia
➡️Fighting reported near Orlyans'ke (1) by The Russian MoD. Lately Vilshana and Pershotravneve were shelled a lot also

For those that say 'this is a rotation', did you ever see a rotation without armored support under such conditions? The situational description is so far off from a regular rotation which is also usually organized. This is a 'run for your life' retreat.

#Kreminna

➡️AFU repelled attacks on Chervonopopivka (2) and north of Bilohorivka (3).
➡️There is no proof, but my gut feeling says that the AFU has increased its area of control north of Bilohorivka closer to Shypylivka.
➡️South of Kreminna (1) no changes that we are aware of.
