Situation in Ukraine
It's been 655 days since Russia invaded Kyiv,
so let's start with general matters.

According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
the losses of Russian troops are,

700 soldiers
4 tanks
10 armored fighting vehicles
6 guns
1 cruise missile
28 other vehicles.

The entire front reported 95 ground battles in one day.

Russian troops are concentrating their forces in the direction of Avdiivka in poor weather conditions and
are under strict orders to occupy Avdiivka and
Kupyansk in preparation for the re-election of President Vladimir Putin in the Russian presidential election next March.

and
the ratio of the number of equipment losses of Ukrainian forces to Russian forces,
which can be visually confirmed,
is 1 to 1.3 compared to the number of losses on the Ukrainian side.

The overall number of equipment losses itself is lower,
which suggests that
the difference in losses between the two armies is smaller.

SUVs,
civilian trucks,
and
military trucks are prominent in the losses on the Russian side,
confirming the heavy use of infantry assaults.

Here is a brief news report on the situation in Ukraine.
You can also use YouTube's chapter feature to watch where you need to.

1st.
First Lady Olena Zelenska was interviewed by the BBC and
said that
Ukraine is in mortal danger without financial support from the West.

In the interview she said,
"Quite simply,
we cannot be fed up with the situation.
We are very distressed to see signs that
the world's eagerness to help is fading.
If the world gets tired,
Russia will just let Ukraine die,
" he said,
stressing the need for support as the international community's view of Ukraine changes.

Second.
There was another emergency landing in Russia today due to a passenger plane malfunction.

An Airbus A319 from Russian Airlines Minbodi to St. Petersburg made an emergency landing at a nearby airport after a bulkhead failed shortly after takeoff.

The cabin pressure sensors detected an anomaly and
an oxygen mask came down,
but the aircraft made an emergency landing at a nearby airport without incident.

As we reported yesterday on the engine fire of a Boeing 737,
this is the 11th emergency landing in nine days in December,
following a string of civilian aircraft failures in Russia.

Third.
There has been a lot of talk about North Korea's October supply of artillery shells to Russia,
said to be as many as 500,
000 or 1 million rounds.

According to a review of the shells posted by a Russian-language social network with images,
Russian soldiers wondered why the North Korean shells were not hitting,
so they opened and
examined five of the shells and
found problems with all of them.

It became clear that
the shells made in North Korea were of awful and
inconsistent quality,
with shells that
were supposed to have the same specifications having varying amounts of gunpowder,
some having traces of having been opened and
sealed again,
and
others lacking the copper wire for detonation that
was supposed to be there.

The use of poor quality shells not only prevents the shells from reaching their targets,
but also affects the life of the barrels and
may cause them to explode.

Now,
here is the battle situation in each region.
I will tell you where the war situation is changing.

Northeast Luhansk Oblast

We will report on the war situation in the area from Kupyansk to Svatove-Kreminna line and
around Sibersk.

In this sector,
the Russians made 11 attacks in Shinkivka and
Ivanivka,
and
one attack in and
around the Serebryanskiy Forest.

Svatove-Kreminna line

1st.
On the attack axis southeast of Terny,
positional video footage showed that
the Russians were establishing positions in the border forests on the battle map.

Russian troops are operating in the snow and
Ukrainian troops are attacking with cluster artillery shells.

What we are showing you is from the Ukrainian side and
is the view of the location on the battle map.

We have changed this vicinity from disputed territory to Russian occupied territory.

Other than that,
we have information that
the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Army,
General Bﾃｼden,
visited the front line near Kreminna and
spoke with soldiers of the 45th Independent Artillery Brigade,
who had been trained in Sweden.

It is believed that
this is a message from Sweden to its own people,
laying the groundwork for future military assistance to Ukraine,
including the provision of Gripen.

Eastern Bakhmut

The following is an update on the situation in the Bakhmut area.

In this area,
the Russians attacked 13 times in Bakhmut.

Russian forces in this area are coordinating attacks in the north and
south of Bakhmut,
and
as we reported yesterday,
they are also trying to outsmart Ukrainian forces,
and
it appears that
the initiative for attacks is shifting to the Russian side.

1st.
In Bohdanivka,
north of Bakhmut,
the Russians are shelling the town of Bohdanivka with multiple rockets.

It is possible that
they will soon launch an attack on the settlement of Bohodanivka.

The video is from the Russian side and
shows the town of Bohodanivka looking down from the north.

2nd.
Unconfirmed information,
but Russian forces may have advanced south of the Belkivka Reservoir and
in Kromove.

There are reports that
the Russians moved south from the Belkivka Reservoir toward Route O0506 and
attacked Ukrainian positions,
causing the Ukrainians to withdraw early.

There is also information that
Russian troops advanced north of Kromove and
occupied the area in front of the racetrack.

We will update the war situation map as soon as we are able to confirm this information.

Southeast Donetsk Oblast

The weather in Avdiivka is sleet.
Minimum temperature -1ﾂｰC,
maximum 0ﾂｰC
Today's weather forecast is sleet

The following is an update on the situation in Avdiivka,
Marinka,
and
Vuhledar.

Avdiivka area

Russian troops have launched 35 attacks in the area,
more than yesterday,
with the aim of capturing Avdiivka for political propaganda for the March 17 Russian presidential elections.

Ukrainian military spokesman Stupun reported that
90% of the Russian military attacks are in this area.

1st.
According to the video with location information,
north of Krasnohorivka,
the Ukrainian army is conducting drone attacks on the location on the battle map,

This confirms that
this location is the front line.

2nd.
At the entrance to the town of Stepove,
the Russians are conducting an assault,
but the Ukrainians are also defending their position of utmost importance,
as allowing the Russians into Stepove would immediately increase the danger to the supply lines in Avdiivka.

The Ukrainian army has been using drones to destroy Russian trenches and
tanks one by one,
and
the advance of the Russian army is currently being blocked.

The following is a view of the area shown on the battle map.

3rd.
At the coal factory,
a small number of Russian soldiers have been able to reach the factory walls,
but they have not been able to advance beyond that
point.

4th.
In a residential area south of Tellikon,
both sides are advancing and
the battle is fierce.

The image shown is from the Russian side and
shows the Ukrainian positions at the locations shown on the battle map.

There are no changes to the battle map.

Otherwise,
in the southern factory area and
in the Vozhane to Pervomaiske axis of attack,
the situation in the factory area was particularly difficult for the Ukrainian forces,
but they were repulsed and
there was no information affecting the war situation map.

Marinka sector

In this sector,
the Russians launched 24 attacks on Marinka and
Novomihailivka,
which were repulsed by Ukrainian forces,
leaving the picture unchanged.

At Marinka,
the Russians drove an unmanned T55 tank filled with 6 tons of TNT powder and
bricks on the accelerator toward the Ukrainian positions,
but the Ukrainians repulsed the tank.

What we are showing you is the scene,
and
you can see the huge flash,
then the pressure wave spreading,
and
the smoke rising from the ground.

South,
Zaporizhia Province.

Between Robotyne and
Novoprokopivka,
according to several sources combined,
Russian troops advanced and
Ukrainian troops retreated as a result of the Russian attack we reported yesterday.

We have updated the scope of the area from disputed territory to Russian-occupied territory and
from Ukrainian recaptured territory to disputed territory,
respectively.

Apart from that,
bad weather conditions in this area also affected the Russian offensive,
which was sluggish and
did not change the war picture.

Rear Areas

Explosions were observed in Skadovsk,
Crimea,
and
in Makeyevka,
Donetsk,
a Russian military oil storage facility exploded.

This is located 20 kilometers from the front line,
and
video footage shows huge flashes of light and
smoke rising from the area.

South,
province of Kherson.

Russian forces in this area were not established as a unit,
but they appear to be slowly rebuilding.

In this area,
the Russians shelled the location shown on Krynky's battle plan and
attacked six times with multiple rockets,

Later,
the Russian 328th Airborne Assault Brigade made three attacks east of Krynky's museum,
but these attacks were repulsed by Ukrainian forces.
The Ukrainian army repulsed these attacks.

Other
German Chancellor Scholz,
speaking in Berlin,
said,
"The war in Ukraine is protracted and
Germany must be prepared to support it until 2025.
President Putin should not expect us to surrender.

Germany is the second largest military donor to Ukraine after the United States,
providing air defense systems,
tanks,
and
self-propelled artillery.

That's all for today.
Thank you for watching.
