The 14th Separate Airborne Rifle Regiment, together with other Defense Forces, conducted a joint special operation to destroy an important enemy logistics hub in the Zaporizhia region.

The first stage of the operation was the detonation of an explosive device on the Kamysh-Zorya - Verkhniy Tokmak railway section, when a train with fuel was passing along it. Operators of the 14th Regiment recorded the train derailing and its complete stop.

After that, the second stage of the operation to destroy the train and prevent its evacuation was launched. Operators of the 14th Regiment inflicted damage on the head and tail of the rolling stock, while the GUR made adjustments to the HIMARS on the central part of the train.

As a result of the joint operation, most of the fuel train was destroyed, and the most important logistical artery of the occupiers, which supplies fuel and ammunition to enemy groups in the occupied territories of the South, was paralyzed.

I thought this was a very insightful video. Anders is often able to discern stark simple truths and their implications without falling into the trap of common misconceptions.

The prediction about what Russia will do on January 20th seems very likely to me.

Anders was one of the very few analysts that predicted Russia was going to invade in the months/weeks before their actual invasion.

Загальні бойові втрати противника з 24.02.22 по 15.12.24 (орієнтовно)

У зв'язку з постійним надходженням уточнених розвідувальних даних, виникла потреба коригування деяких позицій загальних втрат противника - крилаті ракети. Загальна цифра скоригована, а втрати за добу подаються у звичайному режимі.

Translated using Firefox: Due to the constant receipt of the updated intelligence, there was a need to adjust some of the positions of the enemy's total losses - cruise missiles. The total figure is adjusted, and losses per day are given as usual.

How do you like this killer beauty? 🥰

1,155 FPV drones with initiation boards reinforced the fighters of the 22nd Motorized Rifle Brigade. This was made possible thanks to a donation of UAH 20,790,000 from NPC Ukrenergo.

Each of these drones is capable of stopping infantry, destroying a position, or dismantling enemy equipment for parts. Now imagine what 1155 are capable of!

This year alone, thanks to donations from NPC Ukrenergo, we have strengthened the army by 207,963,945 UAH. We thank them for their regular support!

We continue to support Ukrainian defenders 🫶

Summary

Ukraine is using psychological warfare to target North Korean troops fighting for Russia, urging them to surrender through the “I Want to Live” campaign.

This initiative, which previously encouraged Russian soldiers to defect, now includes Korean-language leaflets and videos instructing North Korean troops on how to safely surrender.

Up to 12,000 North Korean soldiers have reportedly been deployed to Russia’s Kursk region, with some killed in the conflict.

In return for their support, Russia is supplying fighter jets to North Korea, heightening geopolitical tensions.

Oleksandr and his brothers-in-arms were sentenced by Russian courts to 20 years in prison for defending their land from Russian aggression.

Thousands of Ukrainians remain in Russian captivity and go through hell there.
