War Reports - 2025-01-10 - Main Report
Trump liked Zelensky's words that peace is possible in Ukraine only thanks to him.
(https://t.me/Media_Post_UA/22418)
Donald Trump reposted a fragment of Volodymyr Zelensky's interview with Lex Fridman on his social network Truth Social.
The US President-elect highlighted the words that peace was possible thanks to him — while other world leaders have failed in this matter.
It seems that Kiev has found the right approach to Trump, who loves flattery. Earlier, Elon Musk, a key member of the US President-elect's entourage, reposted Zelensky's interview — for the first time without the usual ridicule of Ukraine and its leader."
This will be a wonderful trio - Trump, Musk and Zelensky. Each has their own hyper-ambitions. Where these ambitions coincide, rationality and realism will fade into the shadows. We live in a time of madness.

Zelensky - at "Ramstein" (https://t.me/dimsmirnov175/87858) announced the victory at Kursk:
"Let's take the Kursk operation - this is one of our greatest victories not only last year, but throughout the war. To cope with this, Russia had to pull almost 60 thousand troops from the Ukrainian front.
Many Russian threats and bold claims turned out to be a bluff - especially after the movement of Ukrainians to the Kursk region. And I am sure that even more of their threats will turn out to be a bluff if we all work together even harder to push Russia towards peace."
If Russia has not yet razed Kiev along with Zelensky to the ground, this does not mean that all its threats are a bluff. The objective reality is that Russia can end this war only by winning it. And so it will be. Kiev will lie in ruins, Zelensky will turn to dust, Ukraine will become Russia.

Trump's team is reconsidering its approach to Ukraine and plans to continue supporting Kiev, - The Financial Times (https://t.me/Media_Post_UA/22441)
Talks between European officials and representatives of the US president-elect have shown that the new administration does not yet have a clear plan to end the war, but support for Kiev will continue after January 20.
According to the source, Trump's team is obsessed with showing force and is wary of comparisons with the chaotic withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan that took place under Biden.
"The Trump camp also acknowledges that it is impossible to force Putin to negotiate while his army is advancing in eastern Ukraine. So the first task is to strengthen Ukrainian forces to stop the Russians on the battlefield."
Trump will have to start a nuclear war to stop the Russians by force on the battlefield.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation
for January 7-8, 2025
Russian forces delivered a series of precision strikes on targets in the territory controlled by the AFU. One of the targets in the occupied Zaporizhia was the "Motor Sich" plant, where a fire broke out.
Ukrainian formations launched several dozen UAVs at rear regions of Russia. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, 32 were shot down, and a fuel storage facility was damaged in the Saratov Region.
In the Kursk Region, the enemy was pushed out of several settlements, and Russian forces are advancing in the area of Malaya Loknya, Russkoye Porechnoye and Pogrebki.
In the Kupiansk-Svatove direction, the enemy attacked near Kotlyarovka, while Russian forces advanced between Zagryzovo and Lozova.
In the Oleksandro-Kalinovo direction, heavy fighting continues within the boundaries of Dzerzhynsk, with Russian assault troops breaking through to the western outskirts of the city.
In the Pokrovsk direction, there are local advances by the Russian Armed Forces in several sectors, as well as a push near Vozdvyzhenka, with fierce battles ongoing.
In the Kurakhovo direction, the enemy was also pushed out of several fairly large strongholds in the fields south and southwest of Kurakhovo.
And in the Vremivka direction, the noose is tightening around Bolshaya Novoselka. Russian assault troops have occupied the surrounding fields and reached the outskirts of the village and the neighboring Neskuchnoye.

🇷🇺🇸🇾🏴 More on the issue of the Russian presence in Syria
Once again, questions have surfaced about the presence of the Russian contingent in "New Syria": for several days now, the cargo ship "Sparta" has been unable to enter (https://t.me/arabwar/15856) the port of Tartus, where the 720th Logistics Support Point (720 PSTO) of the Russian Navy is located.
The Russian ship is now anchored in the Mediterranean Sea awaiting further decisions. The official reason for the delay has not yet been named, with various versions being considered - from internal logistical and technical problems to the refusal of the new authorities to grant permission to enter the port.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
🔻The second option is the most likely. The country is now led by functionaries (https://t.me/rybar/66965) of the terrorist organization "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" (HTS) and its loyal structures. Naturally, relations with those who were bombed by the Russian Aerospace Forces only yesterday will be, to put it mildly, strained.
The essence does not change - we are facing a new reality. There are no longer those with whom the Soviet and then Russian authorities signed agreements, under which our troops were stationed at the Hmeimim airbase and in Tartus. There were no agreements on this issue with HTS or anyone else.
However, for the militants of the new Syrian government, new realities have also set in. It will no longer be possible to play the role of "irreconcilable mujahideen" who under no circumstances go for a deal with the enemy. This is no longer the small Idlib, which can be handed over under the wing of Turkey.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
📌 If yesterday's "moderate opposition" could freely call Russia an occupier, today it is the presence of Russian naval and air bases that will help balance the political influence of friendly countries and internal competitors from among the most radical factions.
And judging by the presence of the Russian embassy on the territory of the country, the absence of public diplomatic outbursts against Russia, and the statements (https://t.me/rybar/66784) of the HTS leader himself about the presence of strategic interests between the two countries, this fact is understood in Damascus.

🇦🇿🇦🇲 Aliyev Creates Pretexts for a New War Against Armenia
The new year in Baku begins with another set of claims against Yerevan. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated (https://www.interfax.ru/world/1001932) that Armenia poses a "threat" to the South Caucasus.
Aliyev demanded that France and other countries stop arming Armenia: break military contracts and return the supplied weapons. Another condition is the opening of the so-called Zangezur Corridor through southern Armenia, which would connect Azerbaijan and Turkey.
In addition to the stated conditions, Aliyev added the amendment of Armenia's Constitution and the abolition of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Karabakh conflict settlement.
📌As we wrote earlier (https://t.me/rybar/66450), the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia has predictably reached an impasse, despite the demonstrative optimism promoted by the outgoing US presidential administration.
The impasse lies in the fact that Yerevan is already making concessions (https://t.me/rybar/65383), including on amending (https://t.me/rybar/64002) the Constitution. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan even spoke of readiness (https://t.me/rybar/64253) to open communication along the so-called Zangezur Corridor, but with respect for Armenia's sovereign rights.
🔻Since Baku still accuses Armenia of sabotaging the opening of communications in the south, the main claim of the Azerbaijanis is aimed at the sovereign rights of Armenians on their own territory. For this purpose, the Azerbaijani media are promoting the image of an "aggressive" and "revanchist" Armenia, which does not correspond to reality.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗️All this once again indicates that Azerbaijan is creating a pretext for another military aggression, which may occur in the near future and its target will be the Syunik region.
At the same time, the state of the Armenian Armed Forces raises serious questions: the French and Indian-made weapons do not create (https://t.me/rybar/66450) an offensive potential, and it is unclear how they will be able to ensure even the defense.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Lyman Direction: Expansion of the Control Zone of the Russian Armed Forces on the Right Bank of the Zherebets River
Over the past two weeks, the section of the front has clearly become more active, with Russian troops advancing towards the western border of the LPR. Thanks to footage from Makiivka, it was possible to establish that the Russian Armed Forces have expanded their control zone, clearing several forest belts on the right bank of the Zherebets River.
To the south, work is underway to eliminate the AFU bridgehead in the vicinity of the recently liberated Ivanovka, but information about a breakthrough in the AFU defense towards Kolodezy has not yet been confirmed.
The development of the success of the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Yampolivka and Torske will make it possible to free the entire left bank from the presence of the enemy and proceed to the assault on Zarichne, from where the road to Lyman opens up.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pokrovsk direction: a series of local attacks by the Russian Armed Forces
In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian troops continue to gradually improve their positions south of the city.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
▪️In the areas of Lysovka, Shevchenko, Pishchane and Volkovo, fighting continues, with no significant changes in control zones observed. The information that Russian assault groups reached the outskirts of Zverevo has not yet been confirmed by objective control data, although it has not been refuted either.
📌 Earlier, it was reported about the advance of Russian troops north of Vozdvyzhenka, and some sources even claimed that the Mirnohrad - Kostyantynivka highway was cut off. However, there is currently no information on whether the Russian assault troops were able to hold their positions there.
▪️In the areas of Solone and Novovasylivka, fighting is also ongoing, while in Novoyelyzavetivka and the forest belts to the north, Russian troops are advancing, occupying new positions.
To the south, Ukrainka was finally liberated, and fighting for Yasenovye has begun.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗️Apparently, in the near future, an intensification of combat operations in the vicinity of Pokrovsk and, probably, Mirnohrad can be expected.
➖➖➖➖➖➖
However, one should not think that the Russian troops will start combat operations in two large cities at once.
Likely, the supply lines in the Kotlyne area will be cut off first, where the forward positions of the Russian troops are just over a kilometer from the T-04-06 highway.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone
Chronicle of events for January 8-9, 2025
The Israeli military carried out another series of strikes against Hamas-controlled parts of the Gaza Strip. The capital of the Palestinian enclave, Nuseirat, and the vicinity of Khan Yunis came under the most concentrated fire.
At the same time, IDF operations continue in the north of the enclave, where this time Palestinian formations showed activity: in Beit Lahia and Jabalia they carried out successful ambushes, killing at least three Israelis.
In the West Bank, Israeli security forces conducted a series of raids in more than ten settlements: over the past two days, more than 60 local residents have been detained. The largest clashes occurred in Jenin and Tulkarm.
The situation on the Lebanon-Israel border has not undergone significant changes: the Israelis periodically strike at identified targets in the south of Lebanon, while fighters of the Arab republic gradually enter part of the settlements.

⚡️19fortyfive: Ukraine War: Why a Ceasefire May Be Impossible for Now (https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/01/ukraine-war-why-a-ceasefire-may-be-impossible-for-now/)
Little by little, the west is awakening to the reality on the ground in Ukraine.
The very question of whether the Trump administration will be able to achieve peace in Ukraine is premature. At this moment, it is only possible to hope for a ceasefire.
But the odds are that even a ceasefire is a bridge too far.
No Conditions for Ceasefire
The reason is simple. Moscow is not ready for any compromises. It plays for victory, not a draw.
Incentives for the Kremlin to soften its position are absent. There will be no chemistry between Trump and Putin. <..> In other words, Putin does not owe anything to Trump.
But the author, if he wanted his article to be published, of course had to throw in the obligatory final note that continued support for Ukraine is necessary:
Achieving peace in Ukraine will be a long-term effort. The best Western leaders can do in this situation is to leave behind the illusion that a quick fix is possible and the explicable but counterproductive fatigue. Only Western re-affirmed commitment to the cause can gradually alter the Kremlin’s calculus.
“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”
― Philip K. Dick
