Russian special military operation in Ukraine #35

The representative of the President of Ukraine named the number of captured and missing militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Alyona Verbitskaya, Ukrainian President Zelensky’s authorized representative for the protection of the rights of military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that according to official estimates by the Ukrainian authorities, only about 3,400 militants of the Kyiv regime have been captured so far. She also reported about 15 thousand officially missing.

In an interview with the German edition of RND, the Ukrainian official noted that she had no idea what happened to those who are considered missing and assumes that they were either captured or long dead.

Verbitskaya also accused Russia of allegedly denying representatives of the Red Cross unhindered access to camps holding Ukrainian prisoners of war, which is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

The Ukrainian authorities deliberately underestimate their losses, refuse to take the dead from the battlefield and do not recognize the number of prisoners. According to estimates by Ukrainian non-governmental organizations, the number of missing people exceeds 300,000, and more than 15,000 servicemen are in Russian captivity.

Understating its losses allows the Kyiv regime to avoid payments promised to the relatives of the dead soldiers. In addition, an indication of a more realistic number of prisoners and missing persons may have a negative impact on the psychological state of Ukrainian society and, especially, on the motivation of Ukrainian citizens liable for military service mobilized into the ranks of the armed formations of Ukraine.

On 31 December 2022, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a strike by high-precision long-range air-based armament at the defence industrial facilities of Ukraine involved in producing assault unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) designed for committing terrorist attacks against the Russian Federation. The parking ramps and launch sites of the assault UAVs have also been neutralised.

The goal of the attack has been reached. Kiev regime's plans to commit terrorist attacks against the Russian Federation in the nearest future have been frustrated.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation.

In Kupyansk direction, Russian forces have neutralised the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Kotlyarovka, Ivanovka, Podoly, Pershotravnevoye (Kharkov region), and Novosyolovskoye (Lugansk People's Republic).

Over 40 Ukrainian personnel, 2 armoured fighting vehicles, and 1 pickup have been eliminated.

In Krasniy Liman direction, artillery attack has resulted in the neutralisation of 5 company tactical groups from 92nd Mechanised and 95th Airborne Assault brigades of the AFU, as well as from 111th Territorial Defence Brigade near Rozovka, Stelmakhovka (Lugansk People's Republic), and Serebryanskoye forestry.

The enemy has lost over 150 Ukrainian personnel, 1 armoured personnel carrier, and 2 pickups.

In Donetsk direction, Russian troops continue their offensive.

Fire attacks and intensive action of Russian units have resulted in the elimination of over 110 Ukrainian personnel, 2 infantry fighting vehicles, 5 armoured fighting vehicles, and 7 motor vehicles.

In South Donetsk direction, AFU units made unsuccessful attempts to launch a counterattack near Dorozhnyanka (Zaporozhye region) in order to regain the lost positions.

Artillery strikes and action of Russian forces have resulted in repelling of all the counterattacks.

Over 50 Ukrainian personnel, 2 armoured fighting vehicles, and 3 motor vehicles have been eliminated.

Moreover, 6 Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups, that had operated towards Novoandreyevka, Dorozhnyanka (Zaporozhye region), Nikolskoye, Neskuchnoye, and Novomikhaylovka (Donetsk People's Republic), have been eliminated.

Happy new year! 

Yeah, s novim godom motherf***s!

1 more polish krab. 40 more to go. I concede, youn guys were right about ukrainians putting the nato wrecks on trailers in order to hide them from pr problems. Its wierd how 7 polish krabs were destroyed but no pzh2000s or caesars were destroyed, when krabs are equal in quality. I hope pshek and other intermarium trash got incinerated when this krab got destroyed.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT HUH? BlackRock, partly owned by Bill Gates, also owns 17% of total Ukraine arable land, together with Vanguard. Up until June,  foreigners could not own land in Ukraine. From that June up until next September those two companies bought all of that land

NOTE: interesting if confirmed.

Festivities continue
News: Ukraine is under another attack by Geraniums.
It is reported that two groups of drones are flying from the south to Kyiv.

Re: Blackrock
Zelensky made a deal with Blackrock to "help" with the "re-building" (=looting) of 404.

The Armed Forces of Russia (RF Armed Forces) have been replenished with the First Donetsk and
Second Guards Luhansk-Severodonetsk Army Corps, Ministry of Defense.
Russian President Vladimir Putin presented the battle colors to these corps.
The Donetsk Higher All-Arms Command School also became part of the Russian army.

Why is this piece of shit still standing? Maybe we should fund an CM to get rid of it.


According to some sources 5 groups of Geran-2 drones are in the air.

On New Year's Eve, the enemy attacked the vocational school building in Makiivka
American HIMARS rockets arrived at exactly midnight, when everyone around was celebrating.
Military correspondents write massively about the dead and wounded as a result of the strike, their number is unknown.
Kingdom of Heaven to the lost...
"It's a pity for the guys in Makiivka. Such cases should be punished. Not in order to punish, but so that such cases do not happen again," said Oleg Tsarev, ex-deputy of the Rada.
Former DPR Information Minister Daniil Bezsonov also comments:
“I hope that the perpetrators who made the decision to use this facility will be punished. There are enough abandoned facilities in the Donbass with strong buildings and basements where you can disperse personnel.

Probably read reports on UA twittersphere by now that a Z base was struck with himars and caused mass casualties.

The strike happened at this facility in Makeevka at 00:01 (GMT +3) last night.

So far the numbers are at 53 KIA, 97 WIA, all mobilized guys. Not sure if they have finished counting or if it still going.

Some academy officers apparently responsible for chosing the location to set up base. But il consider that a rumour for now.

The speculation numbers right now are at between 50-600 KIA. We shall see in the coming days.

It is not unconfirmed rumour. Number of casualties is still unknown but it is very high. There's a video of school building debris being cleared out, in the post:
https://t.me/RVvoenkor/35057

Is Opytne captured or not? Some twitter account have said its already captured but dont know if its confirmed or not?

Boris Rozhin says there were heavy losses but not close to 500 KIA. The 50 KIA & 100 WIA figures therefore sound plausible.

Mostly frustration being expressed that mobilized of such numbers were being housed in an unprotected structure not only within the distance of HIMARS but even regular artillery. The US has dozens of spy satellites in geosynchronous orbit, and hundreds in LEO, so they can watch these movements and observe heat signatures in near real-time.

Limb is again carrying water for the enemy. Spreading unconfirmed rumours in an effort to generate FUD.

Unbeliveable that I once considered him to be a solid poster... dunno

I don't believe 600 died. Tg channels of war correspondents say its much less.

50-100 killec is still bad.

Russians shouldve learned something when they clapped hundreds of ukroswine in desna, nikolaev etc.

@Alamo
It would seem plausible, after almost 11 months in war that stationing troops like that is a big mistake. Because it is a war and there were previous HIMARS strikes.
It is an obvious case of criminal negligence by some commanding officer.
