Situation in Ukraine
It has been 649 days since Russia invaded Kiev,
so let's start with general matters.

According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the losses of Russian troops are,

770 soldiers
5 tanks
5 armored fighting vehicles
12 guns
22 drones
20 other vehicles
The total number of vehicles was

The entire front reported 88 ground battles in a single day.

and
the ratio of the number of equipment losses of the Ukrainian army to the Russian army,
which can be visually confirmed,
is 1 to 1.4. If the number of losses on the Ukrainian side is 1,
the Russian side is 1.4 times that
number.

The number of confirmed equipment losses today is low and
there is no trend for both armies.

Here is a brief news report on the situation in Ukraine.
You can also use the YouTube chapters feature to watch where you need to.

1st.
The Moscow Times reports in breaking news that
in the last two days in Russia there have been "five malfunctions" on passenger planes.

Experts are noting that
sooner or later a "major aircraft crash" may occur.

To mention only Saturday's malfunctions,
first,
the "left engine" of an Aeroflot Airbus A321 "suddenly stopped" and
made an emergency landing at a nearby airport.

Also on the same day,
a Yamal Airlines Superjet 100 with dozens of passengers on board failed to reach its destination due to "some kind of malfunction" and
arrived at an airport en route.

Yet another Aeroflot A321 bound for Moscow was forced to make an "emergency landing" in St. Petersburg en route,
and
the passengers managed to transfer to a Boeing 777 and
arrive in Moscow.

In Russia,
sanctions have prevented aircraft parts from coming in and
software updates have been suspended,
so "70% of the aircraft" are flying without necessary parts,
and
one airline already has "20% of its fleet inoperable.

Experts say that
"about half of the aircraft will become inoperable in the next few years,
" leading to job losses and
a lower standard of living.

2nd.
Russian soldier Turenkov revealed details about his rank in the Russian military on social networking sites.

The Russian military command
classifies soldiers into several "ranks and
categories" such as prisoners,
provincials,
etc.,
and
commanders deploy them to the front lines in Ukraine knowing that
the lowest ranks "can hardly survive".

As an example,
one day "110 men were deployed" and
as a result of the battle "only 11 survived" and
99 did not return.

Third.
According to a periodic report by the British Ministry of Defense,
the Russian military has identified "serious deficiencies" in the Thor air defense system.

The Thor air defense system is a short-range air defense system with a range of up to 12 kilometers,
and
is normally operated by four personnel,
although it also requires a replacement crew if operated for an extended period of time,

The British Defense Ministry noted that
"Russia is actively operating the Thor,
but with only three crew members assigned to the system,
" it would be difficult to operate it for long periods of time,
as it would force "severe endurance on the crew.

Now,
here is the war situation in each region.
I will tell you where the war situation has changed.

Northeast: Luhansk Oblast area

I will report on the war situation in the area from Kupyansk to the Svatove-Kreminna line and
around Sibersk.

Russian troops made seven attacks in this area,
but all were repulsed by Ukrainian forces,
and
no Russian advance could be confirmed.

Svatove-Kreminna line

South of the military cemetery in the Serebryanskiy Forest,
the Ukrainian army launched an offensive and
made a slight advance,
according to the located video.

The presence of Ukrainian troops in the area can be seen as Russian troops are shelling the eastern side of the road stretching south of the military cemetery.

Shown is a view of the vicinity of the battle map,
where smoke is rising from the ground and
Russian troops are using some sort of ammunition to clear mines.

There are no changes to the battle map.

Eastern Bakhmut sector

The Russians made more than 20 attacks in this sector.

1st.
According to the video with location,
Russian drones began to attack the O0506 road,
causing casualties among Ukrainian troops.

Russian troops have been on the offensive in this area for the last month,
and
now Ukrainian troops are trying to move back and
rebuild their defensive line,
but the Russians are preventing them from doing so.

The Russian troops are also blocking the Ukrainian army,
which retook the area in May of this year after a fierce battle,

The video is from the Russian side and
shows Ukrainian troops operating at the location shown on the battle map in between Russian attacks.

The corresponding locations are marked on the battle map.

2nd.
On the high ground north of Klishchiivka,
Russian troops are attacking the road from the north down to the town with artillery fire and
multiple rockets.

This has not affected the battle map,
but there is a possibility of a ground attack in this direction in the near future,
so caution is advised.

Overall,
the Russians are launching simultaneous or alternating offensives north and
south of Bakhmut,
as well as alternating offensives in Klishchiivka and
Andrivka,
with the offensive initiative shifting to the Russian side and
the Ukrainian forces having a tough fight.

Third.
In the Botasan mine site east of Pivdenne,
the Russians charged into the northern Botasan mine.

What I am showing you is a view near the battle map,
and
you can see that
the Russians have moved around the shadow of the mountain to establish a stronghold.

We have updated the battle map of this location from the Ukrainian recaptured area to the disputed area.

Southeast Donetsk Oblast.

Weather in Avdiivka is cloudy.
Minimum temperature 1 degree Celsius,
maximum 13 degrees Celsius.
Today's weather forecast is cloudy.

Severe cold temperatures are forecast for the next few days,
followed by snow.

Here is an update on the current conditions in the direction of Avdiivka,
Marinka,
and
Vuhledar.

Avdiivka sector

The Russians made 25 attacks in this sector.

1st.
North,
west,
and
southwest of Krasnohorivka,
the Russian offensive has been reduced by two-thirds,
and
Ukrainian forces are effectively cutting Russian forces' strength with artillery and
cluster shells against their rear positions.

What I am showing you is just a view of the location of the battle map.

2nd.
In the factory area south of Avdiivka,
Russian unmanned carriers have been spotted.

The video shows the Russian side delivering ammunition to the factory area and
recovering the wounded in the rear.
The Ukrainian military also attacked with drones as soon as they found them,
but they seem to have a certain amount of armor and
were not destroyed even by a grenade attack,
and
can be seen continuing to move.

3rd.
In Pervomaiske,
according to several sources,
Russian troops advanced from December 1 to 3 and
were based to the vicinity of the battle map.

There is video footage of Ukrainian troops attacking Russian positions with drones,
which confirms that
Russian troops have advanced.

This is where Ukrainian forces were advancing this month,
but were pushed back.

We have updated the war map of this location from Ukrainian recaptured and
disputed territory to Russian forces as occupied.

The area is about 0.3 square kilometers.

Marinka sector

In this area,
the Russians launched 11 attacks in an attempt to completely capture the city of Marinka,
but the Ukrainian army shelled the city and
crushed the Russian attempts,
leaving the battle map unchanged.

Southern Zaporizhia Oblast

Verkhanovosylka sector

1st.
North of Priutne,
positional video shows Russian troops attacking along the river north of the town,
and
Ukrainian troops seem to have been hit from an unexpected direction,
causing losses and
retreat,
and
the Russian troops have taken the town.

The video is surveillance footage from the Russian side,
and
from the way they are throwing something,
it is clear that
it is a very close battle.

This location had just been recaptured by Ukrainian forces in a reversal offensive in late October,
but the latest attack has updated the battle map as Russian forces have taken over from the recaptured area of Ukrainian forces.

The area is about 1.5 square kilometers in size.

Rear Area
Two explosions were observed in Crimea,
and
a car factory in Moscow was hit by a heavy fire,
with 35 firefighters reportedly working to extinguish the blaze.

South,
Kherson Oblast.

Russian military bloggers report a series of unusual Russian military events in this direction,
with the 810th Marine Brigade as well as the 70th Motorized Rifle Division reportedly rejecting orders to attack.

According to Russian sources,
commanders are giving orders to proceed and
attack minefields,
with maps of the minefields hidden,
and
there are even fights on the front lines,
and
there is already talk of the resignation of Commander Teplinsky.

The Russian Orthodox Church has begun selling a children's book titled "To Live - To Serve the Motherland.

The book is written in a way that
children can understand
"to prepare them for everyday life in war and
strengthen their will to win,

Authority is established by God."
Submit your whole soul to an authority higher than yourself.
To resist authority is to defy God.

Do not be afraid to die in war.
for to die in war is to receive forgiveness for your sins.

That's all for today.

That's all for today.
Thank you for watching.
