"A French official told POLITICO that Paris is turning the screws on Germany in the hope of extracting an agreement...to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine ahead of a Franco-German summit on January 22, the 60th anniversary of the Élysée partnership treaty."

"Similar pressure is coming from Poland, which wants to form a broad coalition among Western partners to jointly hand over Leopards to Ukraine."
"That suggestion was supported by the French official who...said that “the aim” of Macron’s announcement last week to hand over the French armored fighting vehicles “was to break the taboo [of sending Western tanks to Ukraine], so that the Germans start moving.”"

Pentagon: "Soledar...has been contested now pretty significantly. So, we do think that there are a good portion of Soledar that the Russians have in their hands and the Ukrainians do as well." Image
Pentagon: "They have these rolling volleys of artillery fire and then the Russians...will follow that with all sorts of people that are not their best fighters...then you have better-trained forces that move behind them to claim the ground."

Pentagon: "If you go back in Russian history, you'll see that there are plenty of examples of the Russians trading individuals for bullets and we're seeing that in [the Bakhmut-Soledar] area."

Something getting lost in all the commentary on Russian gains around Bakhmut is that their offensive has not made substantial gains in over 4 months, and those at HORRENDOUS cost.

And in the interim, they lost Kharkiv and Kherson city because of it 🤡
