🇷🇺🇺🇦 Kupiansk-Svatove Direction: Advance on Green Gai

Russian forces continue their systematic advance south of Kupiansk. On the line of Lozova - Vishnevoe, assault teams have recently taken control of several forest belts between settlements.

📌 Some footage was filmed as early as the beginning of January, but it was only today that the location of the shelling (as well as the video published by the opponent) could be identified. In fact, objective information confirms earlier text reports about the advance of Russian troops towards Green Gai and Borova Andriivka.

And now, as we can see, they are fully confirmed. Given the "lag" from the area of 10-15 days, we should expect further good news from this area in the near future. Meanwhile, fierce fighting continues south of Vishnevoe.

Our fiber-optic drones are already operating, judging by the video, in large numbers on all sections of the front. The mass appearance of this type of attack drones, which is still invulnerable to the Ukros, is encouraging.

By the way, today on one of the sections of the front, Mavikovods together with FPVshniks shot down 6 Baba Yagas at once in one place, trying to interfere with ours. There should be good content.

⚡️Two Majors #Summary for the morning of January 16, 2025

▪️ In the Kursk region, the enemy transferred personnel from the 82nd separate airborne brigade to the northern section of the front in the area of the settlement of Pogrebki, the group of forces north reports. From the march, the enemy reinforcements in two infantry fighting vehicles and two armored personnel carriers entered the battle, but were destroyed. In general, heavy counter battles continue in the region, the enemy is conducting an organized defense.

▪️ In Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk), enemy resources recognize the advance of our troops "in the northwestern and northern parts of the city in the direction of the Toretskugol enterprise, in the area of the industrial site of the St. Matrona of Moscow mine, in the area of the Toretskugol motor depot and in the direction of the Fomikha mine waste heap. The presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remains on the northern outskirts of the city, but the enemy, not lacking logistics, continues to hold the positions it occupies, although there are forecasts of the imminent complete liberation of the city.

▪️ In the Pokrovsky (Krasnoarmeysky) direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue operations to encircle the city from the southwest. There are reports that our forward units are consolidating on the outskirts of Udachnoye. Enemy channels admit that our troops are conducting an offensive (https://t.me/dva_majors/62509) on a broad front, reporting battles near Yasenovoye, north of Novoelizavetovka, near Uspenovka, in the area of Andreyevka, Petrovpavlovka, Slavyanka, Udachnoye, Zverevo, Peschanoye, Vozdvizhenka. Apparently, attacks in several directions should not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to maneuver their forces along the front line.

▪️ In the area of Velikaya (Bolshaya) Novosyolka, actions to encircle the enemy garrison continue. The control zone near the settlement of Neskuchnoye is expanding, and fighting is underway in the area of the settlement of Novy Komar.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, the village of Tishanka in the Volokonovsky district was shelled. In the Shebekinsky district, in the village of Malomikhaylovka, a drone detonated in the courtyard of a private home

▪️ In the DPR, in the Sovetsky district of Makeyevka, fragments of a downed missile of the Ukrainian Armed Forces wounded two women born in 1935 and 1947. As a result of a missile dropped from a Ukrainian UAV on a civilian car, a civilian was wounded.

🇺🇦 Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) — a new milestone in naval warfare

Against the backdrop of AFU attacks using USVs, the same old questions resurface: what real threat does this type of weapon pose, and what dangers does inaction in developing this area pose in the medium term?

The conflict in so-called Ukraine has given impetus to the development of drones, including naval ones, which Ukrainian engineers are developing with the help of the West. How are they doing this, what do they have, and what tactics are they using?

We present a brief but comprehensive analysis of this issue.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 In the run-up to the inauguration of Donald Trump, members of his team continue to make periodic statements that outline the future American administration's attitude towards the conflict in so-called Ukraine.

For example, secretary of state nominee Marco Rubio reported (https://www.rbc.ru/politics/15/01/2025/6787f2b49a79474450f21e92) that the main problem of the Kyiv regime is the dwindling Ukrainians. He also called it unlikely for them to achieve their goals regardless of the damage inflicted on Russia.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

❗️The politician voiced what we have been writing about for a year: the West can provide equipment and ammunition, but not people, which the AFU already has problems with. This is the main vulnerability of so-called Ukraine - without manpower, even the most modern weapons will have no one to fight with.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

At the same time, none of Trump's associates, let alone Trump himself, have ever mentioned an intention to negotiate with Russia on equal terms and even less to cede anything to it. Their statements are much more often the opposite.

And right now, the US is actively insisting that so-called Ukraine lower the conscription age to 18 years old. So it is not rational to expect gifts from Trump: as the course of the SMO shows, any territorial gains were achieved by infantry, not agreements.

Fwd from @dva_majors

🇺🇦Ukraine is seeking ways to expand cargo delivery from Western countries

On January 15, a meeting was held in Chisinau between representatives of 🇺🇦Ukraine, 🇷🇴Romania, 🇲🇩Moldova, as well as 🇺🇸the USA (led by US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia James O'Brien) and 🇪🇺the EU (led by Director-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) Magda Kopczynska).

Plans were announced to modernize the river checkpoint "Orlovka-Isaccea" on the border with Romania to enable the reception of barges and containers. Currently, the Orlovka infrastructure only allows for the reception of ferries coming from Romania.

This logistics channel can be used to deliver small batches of military cargo to Ukraine, arriving from Western countries in Romania. This is also indicated by the drone strike on the crossing on October 6, 2023, which indicates that the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has information about the use of this infrastructure for military purposes.

In addition, plans were announced to open a new ferry line between the Ukrainian port of Reni and the Romanian Braila, which will require investments.

✨Despite the endless statements and publications of Western politicians about some kind of ceasefires, new projects for the development of military logistics to Ukraine continue to emerge and be implemented, which is more in line with the term military preparations than with preparation for negotiations.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone

Chronicle of events for January 16, 2025

Despite rumors about a potential ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, there have been no official statements from the parties about mutually accepting the terms of the deal.

The Israeli forces continue the operation to destroy the Hamas infrastructure in Jabalia and Beit Hanoun. At the same time, the local population is already celebrating the victory, despite the ongoing strikes on various parts of the enclave.

On the Lebanon-Israel border, IDF units continue to blow up buildings previously used by Hezbollah, and in Maroun ar-Ras, Israeli armored vehicles are actively moving across the entire territory of the city.

Starmer and Macron discussed sending British and French troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers — The Telegraph

(http://t.me/RVvoenkor)

▪️The publication notes that the peacekeepers are likely to be sent there after an agreement to end the conflict is reached. Details of the talks remain secret in both London and Paris.

▪️According to available information, Macron actively supports the idea and is discussing it with Zelensky and Polish Prime Minister Tusk. However, Starmer is not yet confident in his actions, fearing that this could pose a threat to the troops and lead to an escalation of the conflict.

NATO troops in Ukraine are what Russia started the SMO against. But I would not be surprised at all if this actually happens. How else could a war between NATO and Russia will begin?

Military expert Alexander Zimovsky: (https://t.me/zimovskyAL/35040) As a media consultant to a media consultant.

Let's play semantics.

The regular destruction of strategic military facilities by Ukraine in the territories of five of Russia's six military districts is considered "provocations of the Kiev regime" by the Russian Defense Ministry. (https://t.me/vicktop55/30192)

The systematic destruction/damage/disabling of civilian strategic infrastructure and industrial facilities by Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory is considered "provocations of the Kyiv regime" by the Russian Defense Ministry.

Okay, forgive the truism.

And this strange phrase:

"The Russian Armed Forces continue to constantly monitor the situation."

Strange, to say the least.

And you know, I won't be surprised if tomorrow it turns out that this is from the new minister.

It is he, one must assume, who shoved some of his civilian idiots into the top positions in the press apparatus of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

I will remind you that the task of the Russian Armed Forces is to defeat the hohols, the pinheads, and the NATO members. And the Russian Armed Forces have no other task.

And leave the "responses" and "insults" for future young army cadets, for playing in the sandbox.

As for "tracking", we have blogo-warriors/war bloggers for that. Thirty-five thousand blogo-warriors/war bloggers alone. They will somehow take care of it...

Well, that's how it is, girls.

UAVs attacked an oil depot in the Voronezh region. A fire started (https://t.me/navideovidno/82939?single)

This was reported by the head of the region, Alexander Gusev, in his Telegram channel. According to preliminary data, there are no casualties, and emergency services are working at the scene. The governor of the Voronezh region notes that the danger of a UAV attack in the region remains.

SHOT, citing local residents, claims that an oil depot in the city of Liski was attacked, and the air defense system was activated

Britain's war with Russia (https://t.me/bbbreaking/198160).

Ukraine and the UK have signed a 100-year strategic partnership agreement.:

Britain will allocate $3 billion from frozen assets of the Russian Federation to Ukraine;

London will transfer 150 barrels of artillery to Kiev;

The training of the Ukrainian military will be expanded, and the creation of long-range weapons will also be developed.;

Britain will become a key partner for the Ukrainian energy sector, developing a strategy for the extraction of essential minerals and the production of "green steel";

Military cooperation between the two countries will be strengthened in the field of maritime security through a new structure to strengthen the security of the Azov, Baltic, and Black Seas.
