In the early morning of February 24, 2022, Russia launched missile attacks on Ukrainian territory and launched a direct, full-scale invasion. The Ukrainian Armed Forces repel the enemy

- The Russian offensive in eastern Ukraine in the fall of 2023 and the coming winter will be aimed at weakening Western support for Ukraine, and not at achieving any immediate operational goals - ISW, the situation at the front.

On the night of December 14, 2023, the Russian Federation attacked Ukraine with the help of UAVs and anti-aircraft guided missiles of the S-300 system. Six missiles were launched around midnight from the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region in the direction of the Nikolaev and Kherson regions.

Combat UAVs "Shahed-136/131" began attacking from 19:00 on December 13. Their launches occurred in waves in three directions: Balaklava, Chauda - Crimea and Primorsko-Akhtarsk - Russian Federation. A total of 42 launches of enemy strike UAVs were recorded.

The main direction of attack is Odessa region! The air defense forces managed to shoot down almost all the suicide bombers.



- the Russian Federation hit Ukraine with three Kinzhal missiles, - PS.

Rockets were launched at about 14:15. Arrivals to the Starokonstantinov area were already at 14.20. From the moment the air raid warning was announced to arrivals in central Ukraine, only 10 minutes passed.



The pit after the night attack





More consequences of the night attack in Kyiv

The first photos show a 71-year-old man looking at his damaged apartment, the others show local residents and the consequences.

- I think it went somewhere wrong. Arestovich, what happened?

- Putin:

There will be peace in Ukraine when Russia achieves its goals.

The West gave Ukraine everything it promised, and even more, for free. But this may soon end.

Since the beginning of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, the Russian Federation has destroyed 747 tanks and 2.3 thousand armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Currently, there are 244 thousand mobilized in the special operation zone, 41 thousand people have been dismissed due to health reasons or upon reaching the age limit.

This year, 486 thousand people have already been drafted into the Russian army under contract.

Why do we need another mobilization? Not necessary.



Russians and Ukrainians are one people, now there is something like a “civil war”.

Odessa is a Russian city, everyone knows about it, but they made up historical nonsense.

(quote from Bismarck) Wars are won not by generals, but by schoolteachers and priests.

EU countries have largely lost their sovereignty and are making decisions to their own detriment. Orban and Fico are not pro-Russian, but pro-national politicians. The rest depends on the “big brother”.

Ukrainians are simply being pushed to extermination. The Ukrainian military themselves say that this is a one-way street.

The whole world sees the difference between what is happening in Gaza and in Ukraine; there is nothing like this in Ukraine. As they say, “feel the difference.” Gaza is a disaster.

Putin says there are now 617,000 Russian troops in Ukraine.

- The Russian Federation plans to capture Kharkov and the Dnieper and continue the war until 2026, BILD reports, citing sources.

Russian authorities are counting on reducing Western support for Ukraine, as well as simulating peace negotiations in order to mislead the international community.

By the end of 2024, it is planned to establish full control over the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and reach the Oskol River in the Kharkov region.

By the end of 2026, it is planned to advance further west to the Dnieper, capturing a significant part of the Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov regions, including Kharkov, Dnieper and Zaporozhye.

On the Kherson front it is planned to hold the defense along the Dnieper without attacking the right bank of Kherson or Odessa.

All eastern territories to the left of the Dnieper must be conquered within 36 months. The Russian authorities are ready to lose up to 100 thousand soldiers annually in Ukraine.

It is believed that backup copies of data were destroyed, and the hackers provided screenshots of the backup server as evidence of this action.

At the same time, yesterday Kyivstar denied the leak of users’ personal data.

- Elon Musk says this analysis is accurate:

“Ukraine has forever lost Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk, most of Kherson and Zaporozhye. If she doesn't make a peace deal now, she will also lose Kharkov, Odessa, the rest of Kherson and much more. The flag is wavering, whoever thinks they are helping Ukraine is simply dismembering it.”

Usinsk resident Evgeny Zabolotny was sentenced to 12 years in prison in the case of arson of the FSB building. The total area of the fire was one and a half square meters. Zabolotny will spend the first three years in prison, the rest in a maximum security colony.

In court, Zabolotny partially admitted guilt in committing arson. According to the man, he was not planning a terrorist attack, but wanted to draw attention to the war in Ukraine.

After the verdict was announced, Zabolotny said that “12 years is a lot for setting the FSB on fire.”
