returns to the battlefield.
In the North Lugansk region, the road conditions in the Svatov area began to improve. The Ukrainian army significantly increased its offensive intensity, while the Russian army used artillery fire to defend. However, due to the poor accuracy of its artillery , it was not able to effectively contain the Ukrainian army's offensive.
In addition, the Ukrainian army in the direction of Crimena made small gains. According to the video, the Ukrainian army in the south road has regained control of Bilokhovka.
Bilokhovka is only 20 kilometers away from Lisichansk. After the Ukrainian army gained a foothold here, it can directly give the Russian army in the Beidon Twin Cities a taste of precise strikes.

As I mentioned in yesterday's article, the Russian army in Severo Luhansk Oblast has received a large number of reinforcements . Some Russian military bloggers believe that after the Ukrainian army's offensive reached a high point at the end of October, with the addition of Russian mobilization troops, the Ukrainian army has lost its numerical advantage and the situation has begun to reverse.
Personally, I feel that the Uzbek army's front line is now relatively stretched, and its military strength is indeed a bit stretched. I wonder when the new batch of "returnees" will be able to replenish it?

On the Bahmut side, the Ukrainian army continued to launch counterattacks in the east and north, driving the Russian army away from the trenched positions. At the same time, the Ukrainian army is also actively repelling the Russian army's attack on the southern part of the city.
In addition, the Russian and Ukrainian armies are engaged in a fierce battle for Soledar, the barrier northeast of Bahmut. The closest distance between the positions of the two sides is only 2 kilometers. Ukrainian drones are very active in this area. Even if they find an active Russian soldier, they will attract mortars or tank fire.
Overall, limited by the muddy roads, wet, cold weather, and rainfall every two days, the front here has not changed much.

On the southern front, the Russian army shelled the center of Kherson today. So far, 5 people have been killed and 20 injured.
In response, the Ukrainian artillery troops then began shelling Russian positions on the left bank of the Dnieper River - especially those positions that fired at Kherson . Please wait for tomorrow's battle report for the specific results of
.

It is worth mentioning that a Ukrainian flag was raised somewhere in Crimea today, but I think this was done by the Ukrainian guerrillas.
Previously, they ambushed the Russian troops retreating there at the junction of Kherson and Crimea.

Next, let’s take a look at the news outside the battlefield.
On December 22, Putin issued a rather strange statement on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, saying that Russia hopes to end the war in Ukraine as soon as possible, but hopes to avoid major losses.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov explained at a briefing the next day that Putin's statement did not mean negotiations, but mainly the realization of the goals of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine, saying:
"There has been no previous contact about it (negotiations). Of course, any conflict will end at the negotiating table, but this is mainly Regarding ending special military operations as soon as possible by achieving the goals that the Russian Federation has set for itself. "
Peskov's words are still confusing. I personally guess that Putin may have adjusted the goals again. Next, the Russian army may enter a full defensive state to wait for the arrival of spring - the outside world generally believes that the Russian army should have more troops to enter the battlefield by then.
This is the reason why Zelensky repeatedly emphasized during his visit to the United States that there cannot be a war or a freeze.
Of course, I think what will determine the trend of the war next is still the situation of weapons assistance.
If Ukraine can obtain more and more advanced weapons, such as F15 fighter jets, M1 tanks, etc., no matter how many people the Russian army brings, they will be nothing more than cannon fodder; otherwise, the war may reach a stalemate. The last part of
is the highlight time as usual.
According to "Forbes", Kiev Alex Holden, who has long lived in the United States, recently hacked into the wallet of the Russian drug network Solaris and then transferred the money to the Kiev-based charity organization "Zhyttelyub".
doesn’t have much money, only Bitcoin with a market price of US$25,000.

A fire broke out at the Moscow Light Alloy Research Institute. The fire engulfed the entire building, covering an area of 600 square meters.
It is reported that there are about 400 gas cylinders stored in the hangar in the building. In addition, there are 800 gas cylinders around the hangar.
As I predicted before, Moscow and fires across Russia have become normalized.

An old friend of the Ukrainian people and former British Prime Minister Johnson was elected as the best prime minister/prime minister in the world in 2022.
Mr. Golden Retriever is indeed well-deserved!

The Kiev library displayed the neon subtitle "100K" to commemorate the Ukrainian army's annihilation of 100,000 enemies.

Kiev citizens made a bloody version of it on the streets.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and many cities around the world will turn off the lights of landmark buildings to show that they are with the Ukrainian people and feel their feelings.



This reminds me of a scene from China that I saw before:
Nanjing citizens used tape to dip ibuprofen and other in-demand medicines on the overpass of Hongwu Road for those in need.
To be honest, this moved me very much. I thought we had lost this ability a long time ago.
In a previous article, I once wrote, " In this world, there will always be something beyond interests. This is what makes humans different from animals, and it is also the difference between human society and the animal world."
I think that today, I have received enough proof.
