Looks like Soledar has fallen,

Only the outskirts remain, and once those are taken, Bakhmut is a done deal since the orchestra can attack from Blagodatnoye, Opytnoye, and from the east

I guess the Christmas truce fell through

That went quick. And no Azovstal-style holing up in the salt mine complex either?

"ALAMO"

*A very important pillar of the Putin's regime is his dance with the orthodox church.
And one of the most vibrant propaganda stream in this war is fighting with western breed satanism.
And, no matter if you like it or not, this narrative does get lots of gains in religious countries and societies.
Russian glorious - and I really mean that - parade in the Middle East is made on principal values, religion being one of them.
The whole thing is made more for an outside audience rather than for Russian people because those are actually quite pissed with the concept.The idea of the Third Rome is gaining in Moscow I guess, and the orthodoxy is in the renaissanc*

Rusky cynicism runs deep, but deeper is the desperate hope in the love and salvation of the Almighty. Thry are dealing with satanic devils by the way. I am not being hyperbolic about pederast malthusians.start with the Dutroux affair and franklin coverup. Dig a little deep and it gets very weird and horrific in the highest places of power.

Its grim reading but the info is solid. It is just a peek.

Soledar hasnt fallen. Prigozhin said so, and he warning against premature celebration. Prigozhin is the Russian officialI respect the most. He brings results and Hes not a shitty liar like "maryinka has been taken" Pushilin or "355 destroyed ukrainian aircraft" Konashenkov.

regarding the chrisimas ceasefire, does that apply ony to christians? What about muslims, slavic pagans, buddhists, finnic pagans, communist atheists, etc?

Most of them don't care about the war or are on Russia's side anyway

Ukraine's hardly in any position to take advantage of the Russian ceasefire.

Best they can do is pull off orderly retreats from untenable positions, but that would hardly fit with the MO of democidal UAF command.

They would, in all likelihood use the pause to throw even more men at the problem - which suits the Russians just fine.

If it really bothers you that much just think of it as an operational pause to give the troops a bit of a breather for rest and resupply before resuming the 24/7 slaughterfest.

Ukrainians have confirmed that Iranian drones are using lots of Western technologies. What goes around comes around.

Poor dears, the precious sanctions are not effective. Cry me a river.

Ceasefire doesn't mean stop defending. They will just use that time to replaod their forces and replace/repair hardware that needs it.

Ukro forces will move and satellites will pick up their new locations. Drones will lso be redirected to finding ukro positions instead of coordinating artillery.

US is sending Sea Sparrow anti-air missiles to Ukraine. Apparently BUK launchers can launch Sea Sparrow.

Is this even possible because BUK launchers were not designed for launching sea sparrow missiles?

Ukraine official Danilov criticized Scholz for refusing to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine

.....................................

One of the things that is becoming evident is that Ukraine is running out of armored vehicles... There is increasing political pressure for NATO vehicles to be used.... Probably the rate of destruction is very high and the available stocks of the old soviet vehicles are sold out...

In storage since the 70s. Even the ukro won't be dumb enough to start such old missiles.

Sparrow will keep intercepting buildings. They will just launch them blindly.

The mines and urban part of Soledar haven't fallen yet apparently. However, Russians are successfully advancing.

Russian troops are not Khorne cultists who need to be fighting all the time, lmao. Give them some time off from most combat missions after weeks on almost non-stop fighting can only add to their benefit.

If you're going to do it, then don't announce it, and don't make it obvious

They are hardly defenseless the whole time, you make it sound as if Putin's personally disarmed them or forbade them to fire back when attacked. Its also appears to not be an ironclad command either, since if circumstances don't permit a pause, things just kept on the same as before.
