Ukrainian assault troops launched an operation against a Russian dugout near Stepove, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

At first, the occupiers inside the position refused to surrender and opened fire, apparently confident their hole in the ground would solve the problem. 2/
Ukrainian fighters then began what could politely be called “a more persuasive round of negotiations.”

Those negotiations included:

▪️ Hand grenades delivered directly to the dugout
▪️ FPV kamikaze drone strikes
▪️ A TM‑62 anti‑tank mine dropped from a drone for good measure

In my post a week ago, I cited last year's Moldovan elections as an example of false flag operations aimed at influencing domestic elections, the results of which Russian intelligence services attempted to sway in their favor as part of a complex strategy.

Khimion had practiced ballroom dancing since the age of 6. She became an international-level judge and taught children at her studio in the city of Sloviansk in the Donetsk region. Competitions, not conflict, shaped her routine. 2/4
“We believed that the world was beautiful and kind,” she said.

Now she is a sniper in the Ukrainian army. Her white-blond curls spilled over an olive-green jacket as she posed in a forest on the outskirts of Kyiv.

Do you know where the last phone call Epstein had in prison came from before he was found dead in his cell? The call was from Belarus. I may even know the exact address from which the call was made. 2/
At the moment, this is exclusive information. Unfortunately, there are no independent journalists left in Belarus who could investigate this matter more deeply on the ground. But perhaps someone, using OSINT tools, will be able to uncover more.

On December 30, 2025, the mysterious Russian military radio station UVB-76—known as "The Buzzer"—stopped its monotonous hum and played Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. 2/9
For anyone who remembers the fall of the Soviet Union, this song is terrifying: it is the traditional signal for a government coup or the death of a leader.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to hold their positions in most of Huliaipole, but further defense of the city is becoming extremely difficult due to the terrain. 2/6
The city is completely in the gray zone, as the enemy, like our forces, is present almost everywhere. In one basement there may be fighters of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, and in the neighboring one there may be the enemy.

Kupyansk
By early December, infiltration and accumulation routes had been largely blocked. In addition, our soldiers forced enemy UAV operators to retreat significantly, who in the early stages of infiltration had been flying from the northern part of Kupyansk. 2/7
It was at this stage that assault troops joined in to assist the 2nd Corps of the National Guard, 475 OSHB 92 OSHB, SSO and GUR units, as well as several brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Russian forces control roughly 30% of the town after narrow infiltration tactics left their gains unstable. Small infantry pockets are operating in the city, but the area west of the Oskil River remains a grey zone of continuous engagements.
