Moving along with 🇷🇺#FireBus Bingo, we find ourselves in Lipetsk on the intersection Papin [Daddy's] & Young Naturalist streets at this green MAZ bus with a burning tire & brake rotor/pad. Or drum
Matt will know.
Mrs Lipetsk not disfigured in this incident gorod48.ru/news/1938333
Oh, crap, forgot to yell out the numbers!
That's what happens when one is distracted by the beauty of the young naturalists.
dunno what passes for journalism in russia these days, but where i come from, we mention bus route numbers!
otherwise the bus fires blur together.
from what i've learned, Papin St in Lipetsk isn't even ON a bus route. HTF that bus ended up burning there is another mystery.
Young Naturalists St, on the on the hand is serviced by #8. You might expect to hear Y-8 or N-8, but no.
I am pissed for having wasted all this time on virtual Lipetsk public transport. Which, btw, also sucks.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Arestovych is back after a 4 day absence on FeiginLive.
Potyomkin Island in Dniepro delta(?) near Kherson where Ru moved two battalions last month now has a 🇺🇦flying over it. What happened to the 2 Ru battalions?
Poof.
He mentions Makeevka hit, &
says in these four days there were at least 5 similar, be it smaller scale hits on Ru troops: 2 in Kherson reg, 1 in Tokmak + 3 in Donetsk/Luhansk.
This is in addition to any ammo & equipment storages
Ru is bringing in reinforcements into Zaporizhzhe area using the devastated units sent back to Ru to be rebuilt w mobiks. These are now arriving to replace the losses.

Mobik suicide in Kursk Peoples Republic:
57 yo Sr. Lieutenant Alexander Ivanov of St. Petersburg shot himself using his issued sidearm.
Meanwhile, in Belgorod Peoples Republic, a border guard on watch shot a locag. The man in serious condition, now treated at a local hospital for a leg wound. Acc to reports, he failed to stop at a warning. Due to ammo shortages there are no warning shots fontanka.ru/2023/01/03/719…
A month ago, on Nov 24, a mobik shot & killed a peer presumably due to military dyslexia when he tried to figure out why his AK74 is not an AK47 gazeta.ru/social/news/20…
This is a translation of Ian Matveev's thread on Makeevka: why it's not a singular event & is bound to repeat:
"Why the destruction of a mobik battalion in Makeevka is not a 1-time mistake & can't be fixed by Ru,meaning it'll be repeated. Explaining in a short thread ⬇️"
The crux Ru mobiks were packed in a jr college building in Makeevka w amm & equipment. ZSU learned of that & destroyed the battalion w HIMARS. Ru Mil journos howl dissonantly what a terrible mistake the commanders made. But everything is more difficult! 1/
Idea to distribute the soldiers among diff temporary deployment (basements) sounds sensible. Say 10 people sleep per basement. If ZSU hits, there will be losses, but not critical ones. But in reality, when it comes to a large number of soldiers, this idea is almost impossible. 2/
You can celebrate his birthday along with rusict media who bestow on Bandera & his fans the most horrific yet hysterically funny stuff:
"🇺🇦Nazis laid out Bandera's portrait out of the corpses of 🇷🇺soldiers on the battlefield to celebrate his birthday"

Of course, Ukrainian Twitter could not well let the dead dogs lie, to turn a phrase:
"No! That's how they fell!"
Explosions in the cities all across Russian Federation reported.
"Kursk, Belgorod, Moscow, Voronezh, St. Petersburg, Makeyevka, how's things? Can't sleep? Not interested in politics? What's w the face? How can we help you?" asks ZSU StratCom.
