14 day prognosis in the Kreminna area by @davidhelms570
It seems like we will continue to have “unfavorable” conditions for maneuvering in terrain until Christmas.

“The EU helped Ukraine with weapons, but realized that its military reserves were depleted, said the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borelj:”

“Initial reports that urban fightings started in Bakhmut and Siniat is completely under the control of PMC “Wagner””

“How many tanks did the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose in Bakhmut?
According to the Military Chronicle, from the end of August to the beginning of December, the 54th and 59th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could irretrievably lose about six to eight tank companies in Bakhmut (Artyomovsk)—from 84 to 112 vehicles. The equipment remaining in service with the Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut is on the verge of failure.
Most of the T-64, T-64BV, and Polish T-72M1 tanks were lost by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the battles in the north of the city in the Podgorodny area and during several counterattacks in the south in the area of Kurdyumovka, Zelenopolye, and Ozaryanovka. Tanks were also lost in the battles near Opytny, where Ukrainian forces tried to stop the advance of the RF Armed Forces but retreated due to high losses. Interruptions in electricity and a lack of spare parts prevent quick repairs of equipment.
Almost all vehicles have high gun wear, and the crews of Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks regularly encounter bursts of ammunition in the gun breech, after which the vehicle is put out of action. The activity of the artillery of Wagner PMC and the RF Armed Forces also led to high losses of tanks: when a platoon (or company) of tanks is detected, heavy artillery fire of high density opens on armoured vehicles, which does not allow the equipment to manoeuvre and fire.
There are also tactical errors. Short daylight hours limit the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in observation and reconnaissance using UAVs, and cold weather forces them to keep vehicles with running engines, which strongly unmasks them and makes them a target for sabotage groups of the RF Armed Forces with Kornet anti-tank systems and Irony surveillance devices that detect enemy equipment in the dark at a distance of 7 km.”

“At the instigation of Western journalists, the term “Bakhmut meat grinder” took root in Ukrainian media space, as did the comments that the city could not be held and was not worth such a sacrifice by the AFU at all. To break the negative trend, channels affiliated with Bankova started posting videos in which unidentified fighters with closed faces say that they will not give up Bakhmut. However, observant Ukrainians immediately noticed the clean uniforms and equipment of the speakers and considered it a staged performance.
Ukrainian channels reported that Bankova had to shell out money to get Zelensky on the cover of the British FT (Financial Times) as “man of the year.” Everyone knows that such “awards” are like beauty contests. Whoever pays (the price can be several million dollars) becomes the “man of the year.” Rumour has it that it was Ermak who gave the boss a New Year’s present, as Zelenski was very upset that he was not included in the Nobel laureates. His vanity is very well known in Ukraine. However, they say at Bankova that this was necessary for preparation for the elections and also to boost morale during a difficult period.
Another media achievement of Zelenski that provoked a mixed reaction in Ukraine was his signing of a decree that, from now on, Ukrainians celebrate Human Rights Day on December 10 to assert and defend human rights. It was on this day that the Ukrainian security forces carried out the most extensive “searches” of Orthodox churches, with numerous provocations organized by them. Ukrainians joke darkly, “It’s good that Zelensky has managed to retain his sense of humor after becoming president. In order to shift the informational emphasis from unwanted appeals of the UOC militants in defense of the UOC, the political technologists of Bankova tried to introduce a new slogan, “Our God is the UOC!” They logically pointed out that the Orthodox would not take communion of the body and blood of the AFU.
It was reported to Zelensky that a shortage of wheat and other agricultural products was looming, threatening a real famine, and he was advised to suspend exports from the country, even though he blamed Russia for it. However, according to Ukrainian sources, Zelensky was furious and replied very harshly that everything was enough and there was no need to panic. Although experts explicitly warn of a food shortage in 2023, which will provoke an even greater rise in prices, Zelensky does not want to hear about stopping food exports, as he is one of the beneficiaries of the “grain deal.”

“‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️70% of the company killed or wounded: paratroopers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recorded a panic appeal
“We are passing this appeal to the command of the landing troops and the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the 3rd airmobile company of a separate airmobile battalion of the 25th Secheslav airmobile brigade.
We were sent to carry out a combat mission to hold individual combat positions. We did not receive proper weapons and artillery support. As a result, 70% of the company was killed or wounded. We did not have and do not have military equipment and proper weapons. We didn’t even have equipment for evacuating the wounded, which is why several of the wounded did not survive.
We spent more than a month in the trenches, transmitting coordinates on which the artillery never fired. The platoon sergeants fled their positions in the early days, and were transferred by Chief of Staff Kipinach, now serving as battalion commander.
We demand the transfer of the entire unit.”
“According to the Military Chronicle, the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, stationed in Maryinka, lost the possibility of supply.
On December 8, the leadership of the brigade reported to the headquarters of the Vostok command that the RF Armed Forces had taken Geological Street, the road from the city that leads to neighboring Krasnogorovka, under fire control.
The road is under fire from Russian long-range artillery - self-propelled guns “Msta-S” and “Hyacinth-S” caliber 152 mm. In addition, it is controlled by drones and helicopters of the army aviation of the RF Armed Forces.
It was from the neighboring Krasnogorovka that the brigade received ammunition, as well as reinforcements in manpower. Without this, she risks being surrounded and completely destroyed. Any attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to transfer reinforcements to Marinka will now be fraught with the risk of losses.
At the end of November, units of the 79th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were pushed back to the area of \u200b\u200bthe gas facilities of Maryinka. Then they lost control of their positions in the area of the tire repair plant and the Nikolsky elevator in the southwestern part of the city.
Also, during the offensive of the Russian forces on Maryinka, fire control was established in the area of the ATP 11420 motor transport enterprise and over the fork in the O-0530 highway, which deprives the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the opportunity to effectively counterattack the RF Armed Forces.”

Poland has decided to send its recently arrived South Korean K2 tanks to military units stationed near the border with Kaliningrad.
