🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here again: (1/12) "Reflections on the many so-called peace negotiation discussions going on behind the scenes.
China in particular is working behind the scenes to authorise at least a ceasefire. How should Ukraine react to this? +
2:"Who has the most to gain from a ceasefire? These are the questions we must ask. Ukraine has problems on the ground but is beginning to gain air supremacy. This is shown by the 6 russian bombers shot down. There is a reduction in missile carriers and glide bomb carriers. +
3:"In addition, we are knocking out the russians' infra for gas and oil terminals, which has already caused more damage to the russians than the West's sanctions. In the balance are the lives of our ground soldiers. We have ammunition and drone shortages. +
4:"The russians can use 1 drone to take out 1 of our soldiers, we can only use the drones on a group of at least 5 russian soldiers.

After Avdiivka there is now either Robotny (where massive russian reinforcements from Avdiivka are now heading) or Bilohorivka with +
5:"...four russian regiments with 1100 men/regiment, moved from the north. In addition, we have major problems with our mobilisation chaos, no solution yet in sight. We should also counterbalance this with the heavy losses the russians have in manpower and material. +
6:"We are talking about 45,000 fallen and severely wounded russian soldiers in Avdiivka. Therefore, the russian bloggers are not celebrating the capture of the city, on the contrary, many of them are critical of the whole Avdiivka operation. +
7:"If we look at the terrain at Robotny and Bilohorivka, it favours us to knock out massively the russians' manpower and material. We know from the battle of Kyiv that the russians put in everything they have and when they run out of material they retreat. +
8:"So, in order to even start peace/ceasefire negotiations, Ukraine must be given security guarantees that really apply. In addition, large parts of occupied territory must be returned. The russians have much to gain from a ceasefire. +
9:"They need a break to bring in mobilised troops, and they need to shore up their supply lines.
This, in short, is the starting point of the chessboard. We need more pawns, rooks and bishops - and drones. +
10:"About drones: Here is an update from Håkan Petterson and his guys building drones:
«The drone fundraiser has now collected 70000 SEK and this is enough for 1.5 heavy drones with darkness capacity. Tomorrow, hardware for a complete heavy drone will be ordered and I expect +
11:"...this drone to be built and ready by the end of March. Here are some pictures of the 3 drones we are building right now and these should be completely ready to fly by the end of this month. If all goes well, they will arrive in Ukraine in early March. +

12:"Many thanks for all contributions, large and small».

We have a great shortage of drones that can take up to 10 kg payload so it is of great importance that Håkan and his guys get donations.
Håkan's channels are: PayPal, hakan.pettersson@yahoo.se

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Yesterday Kenneth Gregg wrote: (1/10) "Avdiivka was vacated with heavy losses. Also a lot of our soldiers were captured and equipment was left behind. What surprises me is that we get training in Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA for our soldiers and +
2:"...non-commissioned officers, BUT where are our officers trained? The Finnish army teaches recruits how to retreat and WHEN to retreat in order to avoid unnecessary casualties and loss of material. I reacted strongly earlier when a Finnish officer claimed that our officers +
3:"...are lost without a clue, BUT now I am inclined to agree with him. He had seen something I had not. I dare say that our NCOs know more than many of our officers. This does not bode well for the future. +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️ Kenneth Gregg today: (1/22) "Let's start with the only real hotspot, namely Avdiivka. We have good and bad news from this front.
In the media we have information that all our soldiers got out of there without major losses and that it was a well-organised retreat. +
2:"Unfortunately this is not consistent with the truth if we are to believe the soldiers who got out of there. And we are.
I reproduce what Viktor Bilyak had to say when he got out: «There were two attempts to leave, on the first night of February 14th the first ten left. +
3:"As expected, they got into a fight because the russians were waiting for them. The artillery was already focussed so only three managed to return, wounded. Thanks to the darkness, two survived and the evacuation of the last one took place in the morning. +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Some news from Kenneth Gregg: (1/10) "The media are crying foul about the relationship between the President and General Zaluzhnyi. Their reports are in many ways very exaggerated and should be taken with a pinch of salt. Neither the President nor the General wants any +
2:"...internal strife during a burning defence war. You can say a lot about the President, but he would never compromise a continuous military command. Instead, it is more a game of Advisor Yermak trying to strengthen his own positions for the future. Since the media have no +
3:"...real evidence of these so-called battles, they refer to - in my opinion - suspicious unknown sources.

So to the fronts. They saw back and forth. During the last 24 hours the russians have taken small areas here and there. They have not made any breakthroughs, +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg today: (1/13) " The convoy chugs along slowly but surely. A stop was made in Kharkiv to hand over some stuff to Perre. This tough old man has been distributing food to people twice a week since the war broke out. Regardless of the weather or attacks, +
2:"...Perre does his work with great heart and courage.

When the convoy passed a block post long after the curfew, the guard soldier shook hands and said in broken English 'Thanks for helping our people'. This was a big contrast to the treatment at the Polish border. +
3:"Perhaps not so strange because I read that in a survey that only 15% of the Poles would take to arms if the russians attacked, the Finns 83% and the Balts 76%.

No significant changes on the fronts. The new trend is that 90% of the russians' armoured vehicles are destroyed +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg / #UkraineWar wrote a few days ago on FB this: (1/11) "The frontline situation is unchanged, the russians are stuck and are being eliminated cell by cell. However, we have both worrying and positive news to report. +
2:"There is currently a flurry of activities in developing new and simple weapons on both sides. The russians have deployed a completely new type of drone, so we'll take this worrying news first. For the first time, the russians used the method called 'carpet bombing' from +
3:"...drones simultaneously on several areas of the front. These new 'Inferno' drones can drop up to nine bombs in series of three grenades. Technical characteristics of the UAV 'Inferno' type FPV drone with bombing function: payload weight - up to 4 kg with VOG-17 grenades, +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg on Jan 4th 2024: (1/13) "We continue to attack russian objects with both helicopters and drones, quite successfully. We also continue to grind down the russian infantry. The area north of Klishiivka is a textbook example of tactical manoeuvres. +
2:"We hit their troops hard on several vectors to force them into a corridor that looked easy to advance in. This corridor was a ridge/valley and the russians were allowed to advance to the root of the ridge (40 metres difference in height). We then started firing from the top +
3:"...of the ridge, so the enemy was decimated by 90%. The same type of traps are also used around Avdiivka, so we benefit from the typography.
Now it is also our turn to make small counter-attacks here and there which leads to some taken russian positions, including at Verboe. +
