🇺🇦💡 Massive missile strike of the Russian Armed Forces on infrastructure facilities in Ukraine on December 29 - which is known by 12.00
The RF Armed Forces launched another massive missile attack on targets throughout Ukraine.
This time, the targets were not only energy facilities, but also, apparently, Ukrainian air defense position areas. Like last time, to identify the positional air defense areas, they first launched false target missiles, and then inflicted a fire defeat.
Immediately after the air alert was declared, at least in the Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa regions, power was cut off to try to hide damage to infrastructure.
▪️At least four arrivals are known in Kyiv. An industrial enterprise in the Goloseevsky district, an unknown object in the Darnytskyi district, and an S-300 air defense system of Ukrainian air defense were hit. The metro does not work in the city, the light is partially lost.
▪️At least 5 strikes were counted in the Odessa region. One of them came at the location of the air defense in the Aleksandrovka area. The 160th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is located relatively nearby in Radostnoye.
A hit was recorded at the Usatovo 330 kV substation. Judging by the photo, the 330/110 autotransformer became the target again. Explosions were also heard in the village. Kotovsky.
▪️At least 5 hits on Kharkiv. Electric transport, including the subway, has completely stopped in the city, and heating, hot and cold water have disappeared in some areas.
One of the targets most likely was CHPP-3 near the Turboatom plant in the Nemyshlyansky district.
It is quite possible that the Turboatom workshops were struck. Local residents reported four arrivals in the area. Last week we reported that the plant was functioning.
▪️In Lviv, local residents reported at least 3 arrivals, after which electricity almost completely disappeared in the city, transport did not function.
The sounds of flying rockets were heard over Ternovitsa, near which the Yavoriv training ground is located, where foreign mercenaries are trained.
▪️At least two strikes took place in the Ternopil region. There is a 330 kV Ternopilska substation and a repair plant in the region.
▪️Local sources reported explosions at an unnamed facility in Nikolaev.
At the same time, Russian troops launched strikes from the MLRS from the territory of the Kherson region on Ochakov.
▪️Local residents heard explosions near Mirgorod in the Poltava region, where the military airfield of the Ukrainian Air Force and the 330 kV electrical substation of the same name are located.
▪️One blow hit an object in the Chernihiv region.
▪️There were no arrivals in the Dnipropetrovsk region, however, the authorities themselves turned off the electricity shortly before the massive attack of the Russian Armed Forces.
▪️There is no exact information about explosions in Zhytomyr and Chernihiv regions, as well as in Ivano-Frankivsk.
▪️In Vinnitsa, Sumy and Khmelnitsky regions, air defense systems worked.
🔻Two weeks have passed since the previous massive fire damage. Apparently, such a period was not chosen by chance: given the general bureaucracy of the apparatus of the Russian Ministry of Defense, that is exactly how much time is needed to clarify the results, assess the consequences and plan a new strike.
That's just, as we said earlier, in Ukraine they managed to adapt to such terms. And if you do not start changing the approach and accelerate, then the results of fire damage will be more modest each time.

A Polish actor who bragged about killing Russians was killed near Bakhmut.
On the night of December 5, Russian troops liquidated two mercenaries from Poland. One of them was 41-year-old actor Janusz Sheremet.
In his early days,he didn't serve in the army and was fond of creative work.
In 2014, Sheremet travelled to western Ukraine. There he studied the customs of the Cossacks. On his social networks, there are many photos of him with a Cossack chub and moustache. It was also when he became acquainted with members of right-wing radical movements.
On a website for actors, Sheremet wrote on his bio that in 2015 he was a member of the equestrian theatre Zaporizhian Cossacks. He moved to England in 2016 and studied at the Independent Theatre Academy of Brighton from 2017 to 2019. According to him, he starred in several films directed by Scheiler in 2020. The Pole also tried his hand at martial arts: he wanted to become an MMA fighter and practised jiu-jitsu.
On March 8 ,2022, he returned to Ukraine and signed a contract with the International Legion. He started Facebook and Instagram pages on which he talked about how he was fighting the Russians. He wrote that he wanted to "stop the war by defeating the Russians." At the end of May, he became a platoon leader. He commanded mercenaries from Colombia, Chile, Japan, France, and the USA.
Over the summer, in an interview with Polish media, Sheremet told how he was wounded near Kharkiv. "We killed one Russian, took his radio, and listened to commands," he said.
Soon, however, only two of their group of 12 were left; the rest were killed or escaped. Janusz himself, injured near Kharkiv, was abandoned on the battlefield by his partner.
In the autumn, Janusz's unit was redeployed to the vicinity of Bakhmut (Artemivsk). On the night of December 4–5, the mercenary platoon came under Russian artillery fire. Sheremet was left with four children.
