The situation in Ukraine
It has been 687 days since Russia invaded Kyiv.
First of all,
here are some general facts.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the losses of Russian troops were
830 soldiers
12 tanks
22 armored combat vehicles
15 artillery pieces
1 multiple rocket launcher
2 air defense systems
1 cruise missile
No drones
22 other vehicles.
Troop losses temporarily dropped into the 400s,
but were back in the high 800s.
Across the entire front,
there were 77 reports of ground fighting in a single day.
And the ratio of the number of Ukrainian equipment losses to Russian losses,
which can be visually confirmed,
is 1 to 1.3 compared to the number of losses on the Ukrainian side.
The figures for the two armies are close because the totals were compiled on a day when there were only a few Russian attacks and a small number of losses.
The Russian losses were in the order of electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems and tanks,
while the Ukrainian losses were in boats and guns.
We will give you a short news report about the situation in Ukraine.
You can also use YouTube's chapter feature to see where you need to go.
1.
In yesterday's video,
we reported that a missile was fired from North Korea into Ukraine,
but the Reuters article has since been corrected to say that Russia fired a North Korean missile into Ukraine.
In addition,
South Korea's representative to the UN accused North Korea of "using Ukraine as a testing ground for missiles capable of nuclear attack.
Second.
President Putin participated in a dialogue meeting with the population,
where the issue of unpaid salaries for mobilized soldiers was raised by a participant who said that he had participated in the war in Ukraine.
The participant pointed out that he had not received his salary for five months and that a friend of his who had returned injured had not received compensation since last February,
to which President Putin replied that it was a bureaucratic error and that he would instruct him to investigate what was going on.
Salaries for special military operations include an initial contract of 195,000 rubles (310,000 yen) plus 204,000 rubles (320,000 yen) per month for general soldiers.
However,
since last year,
52 regions have not been paid,
and even when money has been transferred,
many have reported that it was only one-tenth to one-third of the promised amount.
Third.
A regular report of the British Ministry of Defense analyzed the causes of the recent series of cases in which the Russian Air Force bombed its own positions,
including Voronezh and Lubyzhene,
even this year.
The report attributed the cause to pilot fatigue,
saying: "In addition to probably inadequate training,
the recent increase in the number of sorties has accumulated fatigue in the pilots,
reducing their ability to carry out their missions.
Now,
here is the war situation in each region.
We will tell you where the war situation is changing.
Northeast Luhansk region
Eastern part,
towards Bakhmut
We will report on the war situation on the Svatove-Kreminna line from Halkiu and Kupyansk,
and from the area around Siversk to Bakhmut.
In this area the Russians attacked eight times near Shinkivka,
five times near Terny and three times in the direction of Bakhmut,
but the Ukrainian army defended itself and the Russians could not advance.
Ukrainian General Saruzhny visited the Ukrainian positions near Kupyansk to check the situation in this area and awarded soldiers.
This may be the reason why there are places in this direction where the Ukrainian army is turning to counterattacks.
XX Kupyansk direction

In Shinkivka,
the Russian offensive has decreased,
and unconfirmed reports indicate that Ukrainian troops have advanced and eliminated Russian troops to the entrance of the forest.

according to the video with position data,
Ukrainian troops conducted an offensive operation and advanced here as well.

Svatove-Kreminna line.
In Terny,
there are no changes to the battle map,
but there are several places where the Russians are attacking their own positions,

On the other side,
Russian troops have made a slight advance here.
At the cemetery along the O0506 road,
west of Kromove,
Russian troops have advanced,
according to the video with location information.

and although it is a cemetery,
there is no place to hide,
and the Russian soldiers are checking the trenches after the Ukrainian troops retreated to the location on the battle map.

but the Russians have changed the direction of their attack to the fields to the east and are advancing slightly,
according to several combined sources.
We have updated the battle map of the area from disputed to Russian occupied territory.
Second.
Conversely,
the Ukrainian army has pushed the Russian army back north of Vozyan.
This includes unconfirmed information,
but Ukrainian forces counterattacked from Tonenke in the direction of Vodzhane,
eliminating Russian forces in a single field and establishing control.

In other axes of attack,
Russian attacks were repelled by Ukrainian forces,
and there was no information affecting the battle map.
XX Marinka area
In this direction the Russians launched 15 attacks in the direction of Heolyivka and Novomihailivka.

In Marinka,
the Russians tried to advance after shelling the positions on the battle map and carrying out drone attacks,
but the Ukrainian army showed remarkable defensive capabilities and repulsed the Russian attacks,
leaving the battle map unchanged.
2.
The Russian forces also concentrated their offensive on Novomihailivka.
According to the position video,
the Russians launched an offensive with an armored division at the location on the battle map north of Novomihailivka and withdrew with losses of only one tank and one BMP infantry fighting vehicle,
which can be confirmed.
This location was recaptured by Ukrainian forces on October 8,
but has been updated on the battle map as disputed territory.
3.

on January 4,
Ukrainian forces launched a massive attack on Evpatoria and Sevastopol using Storm Shadow,
and according to the local Telegram channel,
the attack resulted in the purge of Vadim Ismailov,
commander of the 3rd Radio-Technical Regiment of the Russian Army's 85683rd Air Defense Forces,
4th SSR.
It turned out that
According to the report,

Southern Kherson Province.
In this sector,
Russian forces made nine attacks on Krinky,

According to the found video,
the Russians advanced with armored vehicles through the woods to the location on the battle map,
where they were repulsed by Ukrainian drone strikes.
The image shown is from the 36th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army and shows Russian troops attacking the location on the battle map and being defeated.
Forbes reports that only 10% of the Russian tanks and infantry fighting vehicles advancing toward the Ukrainian army's bridgehead will return safely,
and "90% will be repulsed.
2.
Moreover,
the fact that a Russian BTR-82 armored fighting vehicle was abandoned near Krinky,
at the location on the battle map to the west of the bridgehead,
indicates that this is a contested area.
What we are showing you is the appearance of a Russian military vehicle heading towards the kill zone without knowing anything about it.
The Ukrainian military has replaced the dangerous mine-laying operation with drones,
and has replaced the detonators of the Russian mines,
which they acquired in large quantities,
with the latest ones,
which are now in effect behind the Russian troops.
The detonators,
by the way,
are now capable of detecting infantry vehicles and machine guns.
That's all for today.
Thanks for watching.
