Why would Shaheds be onboard though? Those ships can’t leave then re enter the Black Sea or have they been using the ships to take them from Russia to Crimea? Blast looked similar to explosives going up. Russia uses something like 20k shells/day and maybe a dozen Shaheds so the odds are probably "not Shaheds". It'd be lovely if so though. The next speculation I heard was 4400 shells which would still be ok. That's more than a day of russian factory output.

Looks like a nearby military training ship was sunk at dock too.
What a very Merry Christmas present!

Ukraine sank a Russian warship carrying ammunition.
Russia shelled Kherson train station during a planned evacuation run.
Ukraine doesn't have to be perfect for the choice in russia Vs Ukraine to be black and white.

Russia tried another run at Stepove village (population 62). Allegedly with 10 BMPs plus tanks, reliable Ukrainian source says they stopped it and inflicted heavy casualties again.
Lots of the maps have russian control reaching the village but it doesn't look much like russian control so far.

After 22 months, the town of Mariinka has been occupied by the russian invaders.
Above is what it looks like today. It started with a population smaller than Alsager.
The russians have now advanced about 3-4 km from their starting point. They lost 100+ armoured vehicles in and around the town.
Now the battle for the next town Heorhiivka begins.

Boo fucking hoo 😂 I wanted us to go slow-ish on cutting russian fuel down at first because prices going crazy in a few months just hurts desperate and poor people. But strangling new russian projects is good. Looks like China is bending over Putin and fucking him right up the arse on the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline lol.

Russia has also been attacking hard in the north. Here is a column being destroyed attacking the village of Synkivka.

"At the close of December, we had managed to identify the names of more than 40,000 Russian military personnel killed in the course of the invasion of Ukraine. Among them, 15,520 died in 2022, and at least 24,100 in 2023. The actual level of losses in the Russian army is much higher, but even these statistics help prompt some conclusions about the state of the Russian army during the war." Source.

From the article above.
"The late founder of "Wagner," Yevgeny Prigozhin, estimated his group's losses in the battles for Bakhmut at 20,000 killed. We have confirmed names of 9,332 killed "Wagner" members. Two thirds of them — 6,590 individuals — were convicts."
The Wagner war memorial had about 25k dead Wagner names on it.
Russia's losses in this winter's assaults like Avdiivka seem worse than Bakhmut, and it can take months between death and obituary.
It wouldn't surprise me if 150k have died fighting for Putin so far.

Looks like tonight could be the real start of Russia's winter missile campaign against Ukraine.
Last year had already seen huge attacks by this point 😞

Russia has hit shopping centres and apartment buildings across Ukraine. Normal folk are waking up to scenes like this. Many areas are still under air raid alarms and families are huddled in shelters. 😢

Despite russian terror attacks on civilian ships, Ukraine has managed to open up a shipping route from Odesa.
More ships have carried supplies per day than did under the "grain deal" with Russia, although I think they're much smaller.
If the west had only sent enough proper long range weapons to wipe out the russian black sea fleet and russia's airbases in all of occupied Ukraine, then there would be even more food getting out.

Looks like russia also bombed a residential area in Zaporizhzhia. Apartment building in Odesa and claims they hit a maternity hospital in Dnipro. They also lobbed loads of modified S-300 anti-air missiles into Kharkiv, with an accuracy of about half a mile. Lots of civilians seem to have been murdered. Again.

Zelenskyy has some fucking balls on him. That's the sign for Avdiivka, where the hardest battles are happening right now.
Putin's gone nowhere near the front and trump hid in a basement when some pink haired wokies made a racket.

Impressive drone work.
There's such a huge shortage of artillery and anti tank missiles still.
Russia has been attacking hard but nothing like the 10th October waves recently. I'm still guessing they're saving up forces for a big show before Putin's "election".

Trump is a draft dodger who covers himself in makeup, he’s hardly the classic ideal of a man. Good on Zelenskyy for being near the front. I imagine that it’s fairly inspiring for the soldiers to see that their leaders aren’t simply hiding out all the times

Forbes on the battle of Avdiivka. Bigs up the 47th mech brigade and their US-made Bradleys. The story of the battle for Stepove lines up with what I've seen and been posting. Russia has lost 400+ tanks, fighting vehicles, artillery pieces etc there. Ukraine has lost 30+.

Russian bombers look like they're launching again. It could be a big missile wave to bring in 2024.

First damage videos coming out. 😢
There's a cold blast in the forecast a few days out. I'd expect Russia to launch again just before, if they have the missiles for it.
They want to terrorise and murder as many civilians as possible.
