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. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers 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 the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is 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.

“Freeport LNG’s long-shut liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plant in Texas was on track to receive natural gas on Tuesday, according to data from Refinitiv, a possible sign the plant might meet the company’s projected end-of-the-year return date.
The Freeport shutdown added to the squeeze on global gas caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It helped boost prices in Europe and Asia to record highs over the summer, while capping gains in U.S. gas futures by leaving more fuel in the United States for domestic use.
Refinitiv said Freeport was on track to receive about 25 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of pipeline feedgas on Dec. 20.
That would be the first gas to flow to the plant since August when Freeport pulled in around 22 mmcfd of gas to fuel a power plant generating electricity that sold to the Texas power grid during a heat wave.”
“Even without Freeport, the amount of gas flowing to U.S. LNG export plants hit 13.0 bcfd last week, the most since May 29 - 10 days before Freeport shut. That is because the nation’s six other big export plants were operating near full capacity.”

••Day 302.
In the southern part of the Donets region, the battle for Marinka intensifies. Harsh news came in saying that the Russians, in one thrust, managed to take control over two streets, reaching the main avenue that splits the settlements in half. The Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic announced that 80% of the settlement was taken, adding that the main defenses were breached and that soon Marinka would collapse, causing a chain reaction and collapsing Krasnohorivka, Novomykhailivka and even Vukhledar.
However, the Ukrainian defense line here is still far from being breached, and here is why. First of all, the Russians did not establish control over 80% of the settlement. Geolocated footage confirms that the separation line goes through Druzhby Avenue, which implies that the Russians control slightly more than half of the village, 55 to 60% maximum.
Secondly, the projections of the collapse of Marinka were based on the fact that the Russians took two streets in one day, which is why some Russian analysts said that Marinka would fall within 5 to 7 days. But such tempo is not representative of the average Russian pace of advancement, which is confirmed by the fact that the Russians have not gained any ground over the last three days.
Thirdly, even though the Russians managed to establish control over two streets in one day, it was only because the Ukrainians decided to retreat from these blocks to avoid crossfire and minimize the losses. This is because, in the northern part of the region, the Russians established control over this triangle, which allows the Russians to have total fire control over the whole avenue.
This is a unique situation that will not work well in any other part of Marinka. And if we look back, we can see that it took ten months for the Russians to establish control over 14 streets, so Russian progress here has been plodding. At the beginning of the war, the fights had been taking place around Terrikon, which implies that the Russians started by controlling 5 to 7 streets.
This means that in the first ten months of the war, the Russians established control only over an additional 40% of Marinka, and right now, they have 40% more to go. If the historical trend continues and the main fundamental factors do not change, the Russians will need another ten months to establish full control over Marinka. And the main fundamental factors will not change.
As you can see, Marinka receives supplies and reinforcements directly from the back. So, the Ukrainians in Marinka have a short paved road that connects them to Heorhiivka. Speaking about supplies, some sources say that the fall of Marinka would mean that Krasnohorivka would lose its supplies and become an easy target. But as we discussed yesterday, the roads between Marinka and Krasnohorivka are not used anyways because they are too close to the front, and there are many other ways to receive supplies.
On top of that, due to the geography, the Russians will only be able to attack Krasnohorivka in front, which is arguably even stronger than Marinka. So, big front-line shifts are not to be expected here. Somewhat the same can be said about the southern part of the front line, although here, to be honest, the situation is more problematic. Firstly, almost all supplies in this region go through Kurakhove. So, the loss of Marinka means little to Novomykhailivka from the point of view of receiving supplies.
On the other side, Novomykhailivka becomes more vulnerable to flank attacks. In fact, the Russians are already trying to leverage the southern part of Marinka that they control to conduct attacks on Pobieda. If the Russians take Pobieda, then the Ukrainians will have more problems. As the fields are very wide, the Russians may open access to many settlements from the flank, and even though they would not be able to storm the settlements in this way, they would still be able to fix Ukrainian troops.
The Ukrainians understand this, and they are already taking some action. For example, yesterday, the Ukrainians took control over a checkpoint that allows them to counter Russian attacks on Pobieda. Lastly, in the worst-case scenario, if the Ukrainians lose Marinka and Novomykhailivka, the front line will not collapse, it will just move to the next settlements on the line, where the Ukrainians also have a lot of fortifications.
Local geography and the efficient supply system of this group of settlements ensure that the Russians will not be able to move through the region fast. As noted by the Institute for the Study of War, even some Russian military analysts admit that even after fully capturing Marinka, the accumulation of Ukrainian fortified areas in the vicinity of Marinka will likely continue to constrain the actions of Russian forces in the area.
Overall, the Ukrainians are successfully blocking Russian advances in this region, and the Marinka group will not collapse anywhere in the near future. Recent Russian advances inside the settlement stem from the tactical decisions of the Ukrainian command, not the breach in defense. And so far, the Ukrainians are effectively countering all Russian attempts to establish control over the fields.

“Germany’s BND foreign intelligence service is concerned that a senior analyst and alleged Russian spy detained this week may have passed information shared by the US National Security Agency and Britain’s GCHQ to the Kremlin, Focus magazine reported, citing unidentified security sources in Berlin.
Authorities took the BND employee, a German citizen identified as Carsten L., into custody after he allegedly “passed on classified information that was gathered on the job to a Russian intelligence service,” the federal prosecutor said in a statement Thursday.”
