⚡️British intelligence: the dead end near Kremennaya worries the Russian command
#AF_RF did not stop hostilities during the period of the "Christmas truce" declared by Putin.
The fighting continued at the usual level. /1
One of the hottest sectors of the front, where fierce battles are taking place, is still the area around Kremennaya in the Lugansk region, which the Russian Federation considers its territory.
For the last three weeks there has been fighting in the wooded area to

the west of the city. The dense coniferous forest provides some cover from aerial surveillance even in winter, but both sides appear to be unabated in their efforts to correct their artillery fire.
The command of the Russian Federation, most likely, perceives the pressure

on its troops in the Kremennaya area as a direct threat to the entire right flank in the Bakhmut direction. It is the Bakhmut sector that the Russian army considers key for its further offensive in the Donetsk region.

10.01.2023 uppdateringsdags och nu är det en stor ryzka attack över Donbas frontlinjer. Orcerna har satt ”all in” och chansar på att inta Soledar.
/1
Jag var i kontakt med en av mina grabbar i Soledar och han säger att orcerna bara väller fram och i princip stiger på sina fallna kamrater för att komma framåt. Dessutom bryr de sig inte om att försöka ta skydd, de verkar helt enkelt drogade.

Orcernas frammarsch har satt staden i en kniptång där gapet mellan spetsarna är endast 2 km. Frågan är nu vad vi skall göra, stanna eller retirera. Själva centrum har vi låst tack vare saltgruvorna och deras tunnelnätverk.

Richard Dannatt, who headed the country's General Staff from 2006-2009, noted that only now the West is beginning to heed Ukraine's pleas for offensive capabilities.
