Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine (2 year anniversary)

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Statement by the New Administration of Syria congratulating President Donald J. Trump on his inauguration

21 January، 2025 Damascus, SANA- On behalf of the leadership and people of the Syrian Arab Republic, I congratulate Mr. Donald J. Trump on his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America. His selection is a testament to the trust placed in his leadership by the American people.

The past decade has brought immense suffering to Syria, with the conflict devastating our nation and destabilizing the region. We are confident that he is the leader to bring peace to the Middle East and restore stability to the region.

We look forward to improving the relations between our two countries based on dialogue and understanding. We have faith that, with this administration, the United States and Syria will take the opportunity to form a partnership that reflects the aspirations of both nations. We extend our heartfelt wishes for his success as President and for the enduring strength and prosperity of the American people.

The port in Tartus, Syria, has terminated an investment agreement with Russia, which was signed for 49 years

📌Moscow promised to invest at least $500 million in it in 2019, but has not invested anything

📌According to the director of Tartu Customs, the port will restore outdated equipment that the Russians used without modernization, as stipulated in the agreement.

📌 As noted by local media, the port’s work has noticeably revived after the change of power in Syria and dry cargo ships from other countries are arriving there.

📌 This is the civilian port of Tartus. The same port also houses a Russian naval base - the so-called supply point.

📌 A few days ago it became known that the new Syrian authorities have also banned the import of goods from Russia, Iran and Israel

Its 24 hours after election day, is the war over?

[Mr. Lucky]

It was over in March of ‘22. Don’t you remember all of the parades where the Russian officer corps wore their fancy uniforms?

[JonPreston]

Yes, the War Grift is over

[PIF]

Nope. It will take more than 24 days even if 47 devoted the entire time to the war and nothing else.

Fighting involving North Korean soldiers is now happening closer to Davos than to Pyongyang, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“Russia is becoming a version of North Korea — a country where human life means nothing, but they possess nuclear weapons and an intense desire to bring misery to their neighbors,” Zelenskyy stated.

“I am confident that diplomacy will bring an end to the war. The question is what kind of diplomacy this will be for Ukraine,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

He emphasized that weak diplomacy would result in the war with Russia being repeated.

“When it comes to Europe’s security, we cannot rely on the goodwill of a few capitals or hope for Putin’s demise someday,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

“Europe must intensify its efforts and undertake long-term measures to achieve true energy independence. It is unacceptable to continue purchasing gas from Moscow while expecting security guarantees, assistance, and support from the Americans. This approach is fundamentally flawed,” Zelenskyy emphasized.

What else did Zelensky say in Davos:

📍Trump’s first decrees showed his clear priorities.
📍Will Trump listen to Europe or will he negotiate with the Russian Federation and China alone after the war ends? Europe should have this place.
📍The Russian Federation produces many times more ammunition than all of Europe combined.
📍Europe must learn to take care of itself. All European countries should be ready to spend as much as necessary on security.
📍Real security guarantees for Ukraine will ensure security for all of Europe.
📍The fate of some EU countries already depends more on TikTok algorithms. Europe is lagging behind in the development of artificial intelligence.
📍More than 60,000 Russian soldiers are stationed in Kurshchyna, as well as 12,000 North Koreans, 4,000 of whom have already died.
📍There are currently 608,000 soldiers of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine.
📍Putin invests everything in the military industry, but Europe does not, although EU countries have more production capabilities.
📍Putin will attack other countries if he is not stopped.

“There are about 30 military factories in the Russian Federation, while Europe has 45. However, Europe is failing to keep up with Russia’s pace of military production,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Other key statements by Zelenskyy:

▫️ “We must be honest: allies in Europe are concerned about whether the United States will remain with them during times of war. But is anyone in the United States worried that Europe might stop being an ally?”

▫️ Europe cannot afford to be a secondary priority for the United States, both in terms of collective defense and economic cooperation.

▫️ Despite its larger economy, Europe is lagging behind Russia in shell production.

▫️ Europe should not depend on energy supplies from Russia.

“The port in Tartus, Syria, has terminated an investment agreement with Russia”

Sounds like they are in the market for a new deal, with a better partner(s).

The climate makes Tartus a lovely place to be posted. Damascus is very nice too (given security).

“Its 24 hours after election day, is the war over?”

Well, you called that one.

The new estimates are General Kellogg’s goal of 100 days, and Trump’s passing comment about six months.

I would anticipate most of the discussions occurring in private and classified. Like assessing the state of the Russian economy, we will have to look for secondary indicators in public, to try to read the tea leaves, on how things are going.

Big indicators that I can think of, are major moves against Russia’s oil revenue, significant Russian economic crises (e.g. currency collapse), significant changes to US Military aid to Ukraine, significant new combat developments (e.g. sudden new Ukrainian capabilities), and new positions by China.

What do you folks think that we could watch for?

Albania is a snake. The made up some of the 3rd Reich’s most brutal SS troops. They ethically cleansed their country driving every one not a muslim out, then more recently they begin the Kosovo War which they won, (mostly with B Clinton’s acquiescence [ Wag the Dog, the US slaughter of civilians in Belgrade ]), and claiming the historic Serbian district of Kosovo which was the first major victory of the Christians against the muslim Ottoman Empire in 1389. This marked the beginning of the end of Muslim forces in Europe.

[BeauBo]

Yeah, all through the Balkans they have a long history of hard, pipe-hitting Light Infantry - Dad, Grandpa, going way back. Tough neighborhood.

Former Yugoslavia had the highest rated Light Infantry in the old Warsaw Pact, in NATO’s estimation.

What would Trump-sized sanctions look like?

Kyiv Independent reports:

US ‘likely’ to sanction Russia if Moscow refuses peace negotiations, Trump says

“U.S. President Donald Trump said on Jan. 21 that he would likely impose additional sanctions against Russia if Russian President Vladimir Putin fails to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine.

“Sounds likely,” Trump said responding to a question from a reporter on whether he would impose additional sanctions on Russia if Putin fails to come to the negotiating table.

Trump comments on the issue come as Trump administration officials are reportedly developing a comprehensive sanctions strategy aimed at facilitating a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, according to Bloomberg.

The Trump team is reportedly weighing two primary approaches. The first set of policy recommendations suggests that, if a resolution to the war appears possible, the administration should focus on good-faith measures to benefit sanctioned Russian oil producers that could help seal a peace deal.

The second option would involve expanding sanctions to exert maximum pressure, increasing leverage over Moscow.

Trump has repeatedly vowed to quickly negotiate the end of the war. Although a detailed plan has not yet been proposed, the deal that would likely require the presence of European peacekeepers…

….The G7 nations are also considering tightening the existing $60 per barrel price cap on Russian oil, Bloomberg reported on Dec. 19.”
