Zelensky delivered a speech at the UN Security Council meeting, calling on the organization to condemn the missile attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He said:
"We are waiting ( Security Council ) to respond to Russia's XX operation, we need air defense system , it is time to support Ukraine's peace plan."
Moldova also caused a power outage due to the attack on Ukraine's energy facilities. President Maia Sandu angrily denounced Russia's evil deeds and said:
"We cannot believe in a country that will allow us to live in darkness and cold, kill people unscrupulously, and make everyone, including their own people, live without dignity and poverty."
Back to the battlefield.
in Donetsk direction. Due to heavy losses, the Russian army has stopped offensive operations in Pavlivka/Novomykhailivka. The tragic experience of the Russian army in this direction is considered to be the worst combat losses suffered by Russian infantry since the 1990s Chechen War .
It is also reported that Russian troops are gathering forces in Volnovakha and may attempt to launch an attack from the flank through Novomykhailivka to capture Vuhleda.
Some analysts believe that an important reason why the Russians spared no expense in the Pavlivka-Vuhleda area is that they hope to establish a buffer zone to protect Melitopol to ensure the railway connection between the eastern Ukrainian and the southern theater.
Once Melitopol is lost, the entire southern line, including the Russian army in Crimea , will reproduce their dilemma on the right bank of the Dnieper River, who persisted for less than two months in the Ukrainian counterattack.
Therefore, the Ukrainian Defense Minister claims to liberate Crimea by the end of December, which is not necessarily a verbal trick.
On the Swatov-Crimina front, the most intense battles are still going on south of Crimina, but there have been no changes in the front lines there in the past 24 hours.
Russia continues to transport reinforcements and more building materials to the Swatov axis to strengthen defense, but the Ukrainian army has obvious advantages in this direction and is still very likely to repel the Russian army to the departure line on February 24 by the end of the year.
In the direction of Bachmut, the meat grinder-style battle is still going on.
Since the Russian army occupied the Twin Cities of Beidon, Bachmut has been one of the cities they focus on attacking. Previously, the Russian side repeatedly claimed that it would soon take Bachmut, but so far, the Ukrainian army still firmly controls the place.
Serhi Cherevati, spokesman for the Eastern Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said that the elite Russian troops in the region have been lost, and most of the people in the attack are mobilized soldiers, and their combat literacy is extremely low.
For example, in a battle two days ago, more than 100 Russian soldiers appeared. Without the cover of tanks and tanks, they launched an attack in a dense formation, and were unsurprisingly eliminated by the precise artillery fire of the Ukrainian army.
Bachmut is one of the iron triangles of the Ukrainian Fortress that the Ukrainian army has worked hard to manage in the past eight years. This is an important reason why they are the main defending in this area and focus their offense on the Northern Lugansk - here, the Ukrainian army can rely on a solid fortress to consume as much of their opponents as possible.
Russia is also relatively cooperative and is constantly mobilizing troops to enter this area.
Of course, due to the fierce artillery fire of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army on Bachmut's side suffered a lot of casualties.
According to Ukrainian friends, Ukrainian National Theater artist and ballet dancer Vadym Khlupyaanets died in a battle near Bachmut.
In my impression, this is the second Ukrainian National Theater ballet actor who died in the war.
They could have stayed away from the front line, but they chose to fight without hesitation. The nation of is really "hard".
If one day our country faces such a war, what will happen to those celebrity artists?
On the front line of Helson , the current main theme is still shelling.
In the past 24 hours, Zaliznyi Port, Skadovsk, Lazurne and Hola Prystan on the left bank of the Dnieper River were accurately hit by Himas .
According to the Ukrainian army's combat mode, ground attack should only be launched after the Russian army's logistics system is almost destroyed.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. Thank you Teacher Hai again.
By the way, a video shows that recently, a Ukrainian soldier has crossed the border and planted the Ukrainian flag on the Russian side ( Belgorod ).
Russia is facing a great enemy and has begun to build defense lines on the Belgorod border - looking at the picture, it should be the remaining dragon-tooth trenches that the German army played during World War II .
Let’s take a look at the news outside the battlefield
The United States has proposed a new aid package worth 400 million euros, including:
150 large-caliber machine gun equipped with thermal imaging sights for attacking unmanned aircraft;
200 high-precision shells with 155mm caliber high-precision shells;
10,000 120mm mortar shells; high-speed anti-radiation missiles.
In addition, recently, several in-service members of the Republican Party of the United States and the Democratic Party jointly spoke out, demanding that Ukraine provide F-16 fighter and Grey Eagle early warning aircraft.
Their reason is that in the XX War and Vietnam War , the Soviet Union once aided advanced fighter to the US opponents, but it did not lead to the escalation of the war. So how can the aid of Ukrainian fighter now cause the escalation of the war?
is obviously correct. When the war reaches this point, what else can someone use to escalate the war? Is the nuclear bomb ? If Russia really dares to use nuclear weapons , then they will lose the guys as long as they are defeated, which has nothing to do with Ukraine's F-16.
Former British Prime Minister Johnson , who has been away from the international stage for many days, recently opened fire on the leaders of France and Germany, criticizing their appeasement policy before and in the early stages of the war.
He said that before the beginning of the Ukrainian war, France had always "denied" the possibility of Russia's invasion of the bird Kran; the German government hoped that Ukraine would soon fail in military affairs to avoid long-term conflicts.
Johnson's revelation should be true, because the French have always had a tradition of appeasement, while the Germans are thoroughly realists. More importantly, I think they all underestimated Ukraine and felt that the latter would not be able to win the war, so they would rather lose faster to reduce their own losses.
To be honest, if Britain and the United States had not firmly supported Ukraine from the beginning, Russia and Ukraine would have at least been governed by the Dnieper River. There is no intention of underestimating the Ukrainians here. They seriously lack heavy weapon , and the Navy and Air Force is also at an absolute disadvantage. Without the continuous support of NATO , you can't win with just a passion.
No wonder someone said before that at critical moments, we have to look at Anglo-Saxon - although this statement is a bit racist, it was at least established in recent wars in Europe, such as World War II.
is far from getting out of the way.
This war was once more dangerous for Ukraine, but it was already over. After they won the defense battle of Kiev, Sumei and Kharkov and Kharkov , France and Germany had abandoned the appeasement idea of worrying about gains and losses and followed up on military aid.
