"Russia and we are like two boxers in the 12th round." - Biletskyi, commander of the 3rd Army Corps. He notes that for the first time, the Russian army is failing to replenish its losses - more soldiers are being knocked out than new ones are arriving. Furthermore, they face a catastrophic situation regarding weaponry, including armored vehicles, artillery systems, and other equipment.

Footage of the destruction of a Russian assault column near Dobropillia by the 1st Separate Assault Regiment. The state of the equipment is worth noting: these no longer even resemble tanks - they are true Frankensteins, crudely welded together by their crews, only to be dismantled piece by piece by FPV drones. A genuinely desperate army.

More on the Ukrainians retaking it. Putin was trying to use it as background leverage in the peace talks, like “you better give us what we want because we continue taking your land” and if this holds up, it’s going to be fucking huge in the coming weeks and months.

Russian sources are widely confirming the loss of the terrorist army’s control over the city of Kupiansk a month after Putin claimed it was taken. A lengthy analytical piece was published by Rybar, awkwardly titled “Problems near Kupiansk”. The layout can be seen in the screenshot. Some Russian sources are even more blunt, while security-service-curated million-subscriber channels, on the contrary, are trying to tone down the negativity.

Russians played us again.  At least more Senators from the Foreign Repations Committee are coming around on this.  
 

https://www.foreign.senate.gov/press/dem/release/ranking-member-shaheen-senators-tillis-rosen-barrasso-coons-king-moran-merkley-van-hollen-statement-on-russias-christmas-bombing-of-ukraine
 

“We condemn Russia’s brutal attacks on Kherson, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Sumy, Donetsk and Kryvyi Rih waged on innocent Ukrainians as they convened to mark the birth of the Prince of Peace with their loved ones and in prayer.

“It bears repeating that President Zelenskyy agreed to a Christmas truce, but Putin declined, yet he directs soldiers to continue to commit brutal crimes of aggression on one of Christianity’s holiest days.

“Even for countries at war, there is a long history of Christmas ceasefires, including notably during World War I. Today’s decision by Putin to launch attacks rather than hold fire is a sobering reminder for us all: Putin is a ruthless murderer who has no interest in peace and cannot be trusted.

“We stand with the people of Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kherson and Donetsk marking the birth of Christ under the most challenging of circumstances. Ukrainians’ faith is a stronger force than the evil unleashed today by the Kremlin.”

Kremlin propagandist Sladkov proudly presents what looks like T-72 tank in “Dandelion” modification, that is, a tragic art form with welded on scrap metal, a sad confession that the self proclaimed second world army has no answer to modern battlefield realities. “Legendary 9th Brigade”, he says, apparently unaware he’s documenting desperation.

With Surly, immamac is apparently unaware he’s documenting desperation.

Turkey shot down a Russian surveillance drone with an F-16 Sidewinder missile after three separate incursions violated Turkish airspace in days. One Orlan-10 crashed just 50 km from Istanbul; debris from a Merlin reconnaissance drone was found in western Turkey near defense industry sites.

The pattern points to deliberate surveillance, not navigation errors - Russia is tracking Ukrainian naval drone activity and shipping movements as it loses control of the Black Sea. But Turkey isn't absorbing these violations passively like other NATO members.

Ankara is signaling that continued incursions could trigger restrictions on Russian shipping through the Bosphorus. The consequences would be severe: Novorossiysk handles roughly 20% of Russia's oil exports, and grain shipments from southern ports would collapse. Alternative Baltic and Pacific routes can't compensate.

Russia's expanding drone operations to compensate for its Black Sea losses may be creating a much bigger problem - one that costs nothing to strike but everything to lose.
