1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on January 20, 2023
Several areas are under maximum pressure but Ru are having some minor success only in #Bakhmut area.
2/ Ukrainian defenders have made a serious advance against the Russians in #Holykove#Голикове 92924
Gen staff confirms by "being shelled" - standard com
So now it's very interesting because they can really start to "flush out" Ru along the #Krasna River & start focusing also
3/ to the south.
Ukrainian are inside the #Kreminna perimeter and have entered the forest in diff areas to the west.
so we could "look" at something like that tonight.
but i could not guarantee the FEBA lines to be 100% accurate there.. #UkraineMap
5/ yesterday also just after exiting twitter Victor sent me this... and basically i told him this : "it's fine, they all gonna die there."
well .. today we have the report : Russia'n "human wave assault" against trenches without any armored support failed...
“We can safely say that the settlement of #Kleshcheevka,.. has been completely taken under the control of the Wagner PMC" #Prigozhin
But only the lower part, not the high grounds yet or the forest. also big losses reported
7/ last gen staff report
and part of this morning report
8/ not new... but inflicting serious damages and still dropping tons of good men.
Until we give Ukrainian all the normal "tools" to fight this war this will go on and on and on..
10/ and we are going to witness the 100% destruction of this city .. like we did for Marioupol or Popasna...
and thousands of "stupid" deaths..
"thanks" to all the gvt who are not willing to give full mil aid simply right now...
11/ At least today was a real good as i was waiting for this for YEARS !
Now the HUNT is open.. on the globe! Go!
US designates Russia's Wagner military group an international 'criminal organization'
Hello there!
Nothing has really changed this night on the frontline and we are still waiting for real "new" good news from #Ramstein meeting...
2/ they are doing their comfy meeting... but we still haven't heard about anything new and really "big" ! #Ramstein
yesterday talks :
3/ Now in #Ramstein, US Secretary of Defense said: This is a crucial moment because #Russia is regrouping, recruiting & trying to re-equip. This isn't a moment to slow down. It's a time to dig deeper. 🇺🇦 people are watching us. Kremlin's watching us. & history is watching us.
ok
1/ just a quick message because i've seen a famous account out there yelling like a slaughtered pig that #Novoselivske#Новоселівське 92621
was totally under #Ukrainian control... but it does not make "sense" the way he spelled it!
for couple days i've seen direct evidence of
2/ massive evidence of use of TOS-1A Solntsepok - TOS-1 Buratino / TOS-1A Solntsepek 'flame thrower" and it was absolutely insane ! the entire village when hit was looking a pile of dirt being projected in the air!
so it's fair to say that russians are not there, but it's more a
3/ true no man's land a lot of the time, and only small units are going there sometimes to try to breach the other sides or try to poke them to see the reactions, but don't imagine an entire cie being there and enjoying hot tea in close houses.
Hello There ! #Denmark officially donates the entirety of its SPH (french beast) Caesar - the armored 8x8 version to #Ukraine !
See! when you want, you can... and France never stop anyone to do what they want with their purchase.
2/ what is also very interesting is that if 15 other countries gives at least 20 SPH, then #Ukraine would "match" current firepower of Russia (in terms of this caliber/function) because you got to remember that basically a Caesar (or equivalent) needs about 3-6 shells to do what
3/ Russians can do using 2 systems & 30 shells at least.
so yep... really really good news here..
we just need a ton of ammo right now and much much more high précisions ones.
1/ The #US is moving 155mm shells from its bases in #Israel and #South Korea, — The New York Times
According to the publication, at the moment, Washington has promised to transfer more than a million shells. In particular, about half of the 300,000 munitions in US warehouses in
2/ Israel have already been sent to #Europe for further transfer to Ukraine. which clearly indicates the real problem that #Ukraine artillery has been living lately and was noticed even by "wargogo" for last month..
Recently Ukrainians officials were reported that daily RU could
3/ use 20k shell while Ukraine only 5k. which more than far from being "optimum".
So of course US have explained they would ramp up the production x6 in 2023 but right now, it just indicates that both US & Europe are one more time late on a decisive subject.
1 million shell
1/ More than half of all energy facilities damaged in Ukraine, – Prime Minister Shmyhal
According to him, about 160,000 infrastructure facilities and residential buildings also require restoration, and losses reach "hundreds of billions of dollars."
So... let's be clear :
2/ I hope that all the countries supporting #Ukraine have a long term plan so send a ton more of equipement like #Germany is doing with super generator, because if this war goes on for couple more years, Ukraine will "produce/work" only with real amount of necessary energy.
3/ maybe also @EU_Commission and @POTUS should come up with a real plan of sending international workers corps to Ukraine, with machines, to dig deep to bury some lines, to split in smaller pack all the "transformers" on diff site/ hide in some remote locations... etc
