The situation is exactly the same as with Stingers, Javelins, HIMARS, and tanks - at first no, then suddenly - they are already in use. F-16s are in use by multiple nations, and any one of them can supply aircraft to 🇺🇦 Ukraine.
Arestovych is 100% sure that aircraft will be supplied earlier than everyone expected. Until there is a united position, all officials will try to avoid the question, deny, or reply that they don't know.

After confirming Leopard 2, Abrams, and Challenger 2 supplies, 🇷🇺 Russia made loud announcements, considering the West involvement in the war. Announcements are worth nothing if there are no actions.
Everything 🇷🇺 Russia says is already considered worthless.
Let's consider 🇷🇺 Russian options for escalation:
- Attack on NATO territory - consequences are clear
- Attack on bridges - remember that 🇺🇦 Ukraine bombed Antonioskyi Bridge with HIMARS for several months

Artillery duels between Ukrainian and Russian forces. Russian artillery hit residential areas. More information on the outcome tomorrow.
⚡️Bahmut, Soledar, Avdiivka & Mariinka
Russia keeps attempting to attack Bahmut and cut the supply routes to the city, attempting to approach Chasov Jar. Russian advances in the North are extremely difficult due to terrain elevation and Ukrainian defenders occupying higher ground.
A thread with the intercepted calls for this week.
1. Mordovian man says the newly formed mobilised unit in Ulyanovsk has thirty wounded before even reaching Ukraine due to drunken fights, overdoses, and frostbites.
2. Russian woman tells a soldier about the new wave of mobilisation, saying all those with military experience or on contracts are called up, even those who had recent surgeries, to boost up personnel numbers.
3. Russian soldier is shocked by the number of casualties in his unit, he believed he was going to a "resort". Lack of equipment means all they can do is survive under heavy mortar shelling.

Russia keeps attacking Bahmut, resulting in heavy losses and an increasing number of Russian POWs. Russia is regrouping in other parts of the frontline, but the reinforcements are not numerous (1-2 BTG).
Ukraine is defending its current positions, exhausting Russian forces and accumulating resources for the next counteroffensive.
