Justin Banse
Justin’s account of the casualties inflicted on his unit corroborates the daily briefings by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Some Western analysts have insisted that the Russians are lying or exaggerating. Based on Justin’s emotional recounting of his experience, it would appear the Russian MOD is understating the casualties inflicted on Ukrainian units.

I think the war in Ukraine is entering a new phase. Russia has reinforced troops on the front and supplied them with additional fire power. At some point before the end of the year I anticipate that Russia will launch a massive counter offensive. No matter how tenaciously and bravely the Ukrainian troops fight, they are at a disadvantage. They have limited supplies of artillery shells, reduced armor and no air support. While not impossible, it is unlikely that they will be able to stop a full blown Russian attack across a broad front.

Compounding the dilemma of the Ukrainian troops is the growing difficulty to resupply their front line fighters with ammunition, weapons, food and vehicles. Russia’s strategy of crippling the electrical power grid of Ukraine is working and this, in turn, is making it more difficult to keep open the lines of communication.

I hope you take the time to watch this video. While it is the story of just one soldier caught in hell, I believe it is representative of what Ukrainian soldiers are experiencing in their battles with Russia.

The fact that Russians understate the 404 losses is undisputed for a very long time.
I guess that they have tried to scale down the tensions first of all, in the beginning.
Each day is bringing dozens of new materials covering that. It is hardly possible to find any republican/Russian made documentation that would not include stocks of dead bodies of Ukrowehrmacht. Back in June (!!) republican cleansing units, made specially to find out bodies, record them somehow and bury them had accounted for more than 3000 (three thousand) unrecognizable KIA the Ukrs are reporting as "missing" to avoid the allocations for the families. That was half a year ago, and hundreds more of strongpoints and tranches have been obliterated since then. We talk multiple thousand corpses only left for rotting by the Ukrs.

Moving forward



Explosions in Odessa, Kherson, Krivoy Rog and Nikolaev are reported.

Approximate time of arrivals:


Berdychiv: 13:30 - 15:00
Kyiv: 13:27 - 14:55
Lviv: 13:55 - 15:30
Khmelnytskyi: 13:40 - 15:10
Odessa: 13:20 - 14:55
Dnepropetrovsk: 13:10 - 14:30
Kryvyi Roh: 13:10 - 14:30
Zhytomyr: 13:35 - 15:05
Mykolaiv: 13:15 - 14:35
Zaporozhye: 13:10 - 14:30

Tu-95MS in the air, also reports of 2 Su-35´s attacking Ochakov. Reportedly 14 cruise missiles launched by now.

Russkie are in the very center of Marianka.
A basement of a local school was evacuated of the people who were held hostage there for 9 months (!!). Including small children.
A school building is located right there in the center.

Edit : and by the way, seems it is Monday again.
Multiple explosions all over 404, fleet and aviation is working, looks like two dozens of missiles in the air and counting.

Tu-95MS in the air, also reports of 2 Su-35´s attacking Ochakov. Reportedly 14 cruise missiles launched by now.

Can we conclude from this report that the Russkies have decided to go after that naval centre in Ochakov after all, the one which masterminded the sea drone attack on the Sevastopol naval base?

Of course they didn't go after it immediately in retaliation. They gave some time for things to calm down first and a false sense of security to develop, that the Russkies don't know where exactly they are.

If I remember correctly, they have took out the Brits compound in Ochakov the same day or a day after the drone thing.

Rubber missiles of the Russkie arsenal are an answer.
This is how they resolve the lack of washing machines to rip of the chips from.

Edit : and watching the records, nothing changed. Missiles are being released in single pieces against targets, which makes it quite clear how the Russkie are afraid of the Ukro invincible western defense shield. And you must admit that the strategy is quite interesting either. Sure they can release all that missiles a single day, but that looks like a death by a thousand-cuts approach.
The Chinese will approve that.
Like thet are letting the Ukrs to make some repairs, bring the supply back for a few hours or a day, and ... kabooom again. and again. and again.
Multiple smoke, dust and fireballs in Kiev, Dnepro, Charkov, Vinnitsa. All over the 404.
I'm telling ya', it's Monday again!

Edit 2 : holly shit, it seems to be the most devastating strike since the beginning Kiev is fully off grid. Internet is dead either. Some missiles hit the residential areas, so we have an Ukro AD working at it's best. Expect the "evil Russkie murderers" in 3..2..1..
Looks like the Russkies finally decided to strike at the NPP infrastructure. They obviously won't hit the NPPs, but the grid, connectors and other assisting infrastructure is another animal. Yuzhnoukrainska NPP with emergency shutdown, half of big cities with zero power at all, and counting...
Yes, it is Monday!

So where in God's green earth did an Ukrainian brigade get 8,000 men per dunno confused You must be a Ukrainian and like to double or treble down your numbers.

My mistake, I thought it was half or 2/3s a division.
So far theres still millions of able bodied men  not in the armed forces in ukraine. They fill in their numbers by pressganging and brainwashing the men that they're helping preserve muh ukrainian ethnicity from "genocide"

BTW wagner themselves claim theres at least 20000 ukrainian troops in artemovsk alone, with massive numbers in the fortifications around it, plus an unknown amount of froeign mercs.

Weapons production at full speed

Lots of missile action happening.

The whole of Odessa Region has been left without electricity amid the attack, local authorities said. In Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkov, the subway system has been paralyzed due to a power outage, with people being evacuated to the surface, the mayor said.

The South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant in the southern city of Nikolaev has been forced to shut down all of its reactors, according to media reports. The plant became the largest in Ukraine after Zaporozhye Region, which hosts the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, joined the Russian state last month as a result of a referendum.

The local authorities have also confirmed the stoppage of reactors at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant in western Ukraine.

Strikes and power outages have also been reported by officials in Lviv, Nikolaev, Khmelnytsky, Sumy and other locations.

The neighboring former Soviet Republic of Moldova has also experienced power shortages as a result of the Russian strikes on Ukraine. The country’s energy system is connected to that of Ukraine. There’ve been blackouts in the capital Chisinau and other parts of the country, with the breakaway region of Transnistria also being affected.

Is this the first time the strikes have caused the 2 NPP in Ukraine to shutdown?

Three NPPs taken out of the grid due to today's attacks.
Nuclear is almost half of Ukro-generated electricity, minus Zaporoska still leaves 30+%. They cound't cut off the Ukrs without targeting NPPs infrastructure.
So seems like they did.
Seriously.

Winter clothes can be bought on civilian market easily. Actually civilian equipment for camping and winter sport are way more advanced than what the military produces.

ll nuclear power plants in Ukraine and most thermal power plants and hydroelectric power stations were temporarily de-energized on Wednesday, the Ministry of Energy reports

Kaboom ...



And looks like the terrorist Russkie are using German made missiles to hit the residential buildings in Kiev ...



They must have run out of S-300 then

Kiev (or Kijüw or whatever)

Dnjepropetrovsk, long lines at gas stations

What Internet doing?
