power deficit, ukrenergo reports that the situation in the central region, in particular in kyiv, is particularly difficult; moreover , already at night, the russians fired again from artillery of de-occupation, repair works are currently ongoing, consumption limits have been established for all regions, the exceeding of which leads to the introduction of restrictions, it is also noted that all power plants are working and visiting moscow priests again. the nativity of the virgin inspects the territory and premises to identify prohibited items and persons who may be involved in actions that cause harm the sovereignty of ukraine is being checked to prevent the use of religious communities as a

center of the russian peace and to protect the population from provocations, the sbu administration of sumy oblast notes that over the past week, the russian military has advanced a little to the eastern outskirts of bakhmut, but they are unlikely to succeed in street battles, so the chances of the russian army have been assessed in the ministry of defense of great britain, intense fighting was taking place near bakhmut since june, but the front line passed through open terrain, given that urban battles require professional infantry, this type of combat is unlikely to give an advantage to poorly trained wagnerites and mobilized reservists of the russian army, british intelligence officers point out friendship by friendship and missiles separately the usa has no confirmation of the transfer of missiles from iran to russia, this was stated

by the coordinator of the national security council at the white house, john kirby he noted that washington is closely monitoring the situation surrounding potential negotiations between the russian federation and iran regarding the supply of ballistic missiles to the russian forces at the same time kirby emphasized that iran continues to supply the russian federation with combat drones, which russia uses to visit ukrainians and attack civilian infrastructure. now it is official that president zelensky will arrive in the united states of america today. the head of state announced this on his twitter account. joe biden invited him to washington on december 11. during a telephone conversation three days ago, volodymyr zelenskyi

laziness, this is a review of the hostilities for a week, er, this week is the last well, quite intense battles were going on in the luhansk donetsk region, and let's see now on the map what exactly happened, and then we will talk with our experts map of the hostilities december 15-201 bakhmut with reinforcements who came with the help of the defenders of bakhmut, they managed to almost completely stop the advance of the enemy both in the city and on its northeastern and southern outskirts , thanks to the fact that at the end of the week, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed two large ammunition depots in kadiivka and irmino significantly reduced the shots fired by russian artillery, which is concentrated around bahmut on the front, at the same time, our military notes that it was under bahmut that the occupiers for the first time during the war began to outnumber us in the

number of drones and thermal imagers, which enables them to conduct successful night attacks in open terrain, the main battles are still the same as before continue in the area of ​​klishivka and kordyumivka in the south and podhorodony in the north, from the east, the enemy began to destroy dense private buildings on the left bank of the bakhmutivka river however, the defense forces carry out successful counterattacks and partially repel the enemy from the residential buildings in the industrial zone. meanwhile, the russian nazis completely occupied yakovlevko, which is northeast of soledar, and also advanced up to a kilometer west of beliorovka and berestovo. in fact, these are the only successes of the occupiers at the front during this a week in luhansk, despite the fact that battles are taking place along the entire front line with a length of more than 100 km , there are practically no changes on the map, except for one , but very significant, the armed forces have advanced no less than one and a half kilometers south of kreminnaya

, it is interesting that in this place the gray zone not controlled by the occupiers has also shrunk to one and a half kilometers, and the village of dibrova was shelled by russian artillery for the first time in several months, although the general staff has not yet announced the deoccupation of dibrova, but we understand that our military is already in it from the words of the commander-in-chief of the zaluzhnye general staff already conducting one offensive operation and another one is being prepared it is quite likely that this operation will take place in the luhansk region however, it is not necessarily in the area of ​​svatov kreminna the southern front on the left bank of the kherson region , ukrainian more accurate and long-range artillery continues to destroy the enemy and squeeze it as far as possible from kherson, which the russians are mercilessly shelling every day. the armed forces of ukraine hit the kinburn spit so powerfully that even russian propagandists announced a nuclear strike. in addition, cotton visited nova kakhovka kakhovka lazurne and skadovsk in zalizny port attacked the hotel

where fsb agents were stationed, as a result the russians announced the redeployment of some units from novaya kakhovka and kakhovka u lower sirogoza, which is 60 km from the shots from the right bank, at the same time the ground is being actively prepared for the offensive on zaporozhye, almost every day the general staff reports on the destruction of targets in the fields of berdyansk tokmak and on the outskirts of melitopol and rocket strikes on december 16, russia launched the 9th massive missile strike to cause humanitarian catastrophe and force the ukrainians to flee. on december 19, the russian nazis used 35 drones and carried out the most massive drone attack since the beginning of the full-scale war. as a result of both strikes, the spp shot down 85% of the targets, i.e. 60 missiles and 30 drones, at least two missiles fell by themselves in the volgograd region, in both

cases the main target was kyiv, and also in 10 other regions, more than 40 missiles flew into the capital, and 23 shaheds hit 12 missiles , probably s300, in kharkiv, and in the dnipropetrovsk region, 10 missiles were shot down last at times, energy facilities in the bryansk and belgorod regions began to explode more and more often, the closest candidates for a shutdown in russia were the cities of belgorod-shibekino, isu-semsk, we win daily, death to the enemy , let's talk in more detail about what is happening with oleksandr kovalenko, military-political analyst of information resistance ihor lapin, special-designate officer of the armed forces of ukraine and people's deputy of the eighth convocation, and roman svitan, military expert, pilot, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine in the

reserve . congratulations, gentlemen. well, you know enough. well, after all, there are certain contradictions. on the one hand, there are these reports that ours have received reinforcements, that ours are gradually pushing back in bakhmut . meters a day there, but the russians are advancing and, well, they have already entered the building and even captured the industrial zone of the plant there from the north of the bahmut , that is, what is happening, can you somehow explain this whole story in more detail, what is happening is exactly what the russians are capable of most - these are the so-called the fire shafts , having a colossal advantage in artillery and how so before the artillery, they actually destroy a certain square, they try to enter this

square, if they hold the opposition there, it rolls back a little, again they continue massive artillery barrage and when it is already there, there is no place left for defense or for the shelter of our guys, in fact, when you are already we are forced to move a little away from the artillery fire, they advance further and in this way they try to push through the defense thanks to counterattacks, by the way, about one of them recently yuriy butusov even showed there on the video. we are trying to knock them out again from the positions where the russians entered , because they actually have nowhere to hide there, too, in those destroyed places, but this you know that. well, i would call it not so much a dynamic war as it is more static, and i have already said more than once that if we take the global sense, the static nature of our armed forces in the form of border defense is fatal for us, because the advantage in artillery will destroy our

picot, and the infantry survives now only by exposures and in the ground and without powerful counterattacks for a possible interruption of replenishment for russia, and there we will only tie troops around us and possibly in order to ensure more successful offensives actions on other areas of the front. well, i see it, er, to alexander, alexander's question, er, look, er, we know what's in that near bakhmut. there, the wagnerites are standing, er, and we also know that before. they used such tactics that there are armored cars, that is, they went, the infantry supported them with armored cars , now, apparently, this tactic has changed a little, and there is practically an assault by light infantry without support, at least i saw such an assessment, and here

well, there are, after all, what forces are now opposing ours to the defenders, only wagner is someone else, and well, actually, what are they, what are their methods of action now, at the moment, an owl, because she well , this whole story was changing, so today we can show that the main assault element is really representatives of wagner's private military company there are also representatives of the league and the redoubt there are also bars bars 13 - these are the so-called volunteers, but they are in small numbers and directly the first and second army corps - these are mobilized from the temporarily occupied territories of the so-called lpr and dnr so, this is the main resource today. until recently, units of the 31st airborne assault brigade of the central military district were present there, but these units

very quickly lost their incapacity, so they were taken away, on the other hand, it must be understood that they have full support for today's artillery sometimes it even seems that all the artillery of the combat zone is now concentrated with the occupiers exactly in the direction of bahmut e and precisely the artillery of the central military district, but after the explosions took place exactly in irmino, which was one of the largest warehouses with both sets, the very use of artillery becomes difficult for them. and if we consider each location separately in the combat zone, well, for example, the left bank part of kherson region, the temporarily occupied part of zaporizhzhia, and zaporizhzhia region, luhansk region, and donetsk region, then exclusively only in donetsk region, they have there is the possibility of using proportional artillery and

the use or as a set a to simulate exactly this tactic of the flywheel, but now this creates a problem, that is, even on this bridgehead, they have this problem with the equipment of the regular equipment of each unit is seven. also, they have a problem because each unit has a regular equipment according to the technology . staff does not correspond quantitatively, and therefore we see that they use primarily the infantry unit , they use infantry for the persons of constant attacks on our positions to the point that they use elements of these mobilized of the first and second army corps, and in fact, as living meat, we say it as it is. in this way, they try to hide

the positions of our units of our military servicemen, and after that, they send more or less what can be called combat-ready units of the private military companies, first of all, wagner, well, in particular, the commander of this group of north syrian, in an interview with the economy , said that one should not underestimate the number of mobilized people who were sent to the fronts, one should not underestimate their influence in general, on the situation because well, after all, when there are many people to close some areas there , it is obvious that it still affects well, it complicates the situation for us , e.p.

in fact, in the last week, the russians captured yakovlevka and belogorivka, two of our strongholds, we won't hide it, it didn't happen all at once , these battles went on there for quite a long time. in general, yakovlyuka and belogurovka are a little more north of solidar towards the troops, i.e., an olitarka of this type, that is, they already, uh, russians can’t pass between solidar and bakhmut, then they began to go around and ask themselves to go even further, including solidar, later they have certain natural advance because they really use a very large number of infantry, that's what they use, that's why the equipment can't go, because the equipment doesn't support the infantry, the infantry can move along it in the

weather like now the infantry is thrown in immeasurable quantities to carry out certain tasks, it is supported by artillery with the same barrage of fire, because it is a little more northerly, it turns out that the solidar is a certain movement - it is from the side of the ilysichansk and lysichansk oil refineries, it is from there that the russians are working, mainly by the way, the cossacks are involved there in addition to the fact that there is a small-scale machine gun and a hull, the cossacks were still working in the north, but the neo-cardinal change of the front, that is, it does not pose any problem for the same soldier, let’s say, or for bakhmut, this is more of a question for our severskogo severskoi gruppirovka, and they made a decision to allow these to be at a certain distance in order to better hold the russian troops, that is, did they move away from the belorussian troops, but the big problem is for the general front line, it

is absolutely clear, thank you , let 's get up then a little further to the north there and we'll look around the flint. well, in principle, on our inspection, it was said that this is a place where our troops are now advancing a little, and is there actually igor already these prerequisites for movement, i.e. is it already cold enough for this , or is there an opportunity purely from this point of view , and what kind of prospects are there now, because the general plan is clearly to surround the crime from the south and the north to my deep conviction, we have already heard that it is believed that in the donetsk direction and of course in the luhansk direction, such an application

does not quite work for them in the context that there is simply less of all this good, as they say , i will not say that there is significantly less, well, but less that's why they still manage to hold back, but i want to say that this advance at the front is not some kind of counteroffensive operation on the part of ukraine, uh, i'll say yes, it's far from the fact that it has already started, although in principle we have the prerequisites for such a contour offensive operation in there is a process and the commander-in-chief zaluzhny declared that we will strike, the question is where we will strike and how much it will be. rapid contour offensive operation and global well, we will see it, but based on the general trend, we are also looking for where they have weaker places for subsidence and this is understandable, that is why these positional spillovers let's say so somewhere uh-uh 100,500 m in one direction

or in the other direction, this is precisely an attempt to push through the enemy's defense of the future uh-uh counter- offensive operation with the god of the armed forces of ukraine well, i i can only say one thing that if we expect three total mobilizations in russia, which continues , a possible counteroffensive of the russians for february, january, february, then we need to do something here in advance, so that we can throw exactly this, let's say, grouping of troops that are now on the territory of ukraine and are conducting direct because i am a collision and logic tells us that we need to do this. well , after all, i like
