Russia fires 72 missiles in one hour.
❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Soledar direction
situation as of 11.00 December 16, 2022
Assault detachments of PMC “Wagner” continue fighting in the east of Bakhmut. Ukrainian formations hold fortified areas in urban areas.
🔻On the Bakhmut (Artemovsky) sector, units of the 3rd battalion of the 28th brigade and 46th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to counterattack the Russian positions in Ozaryanovka.
The RF Armed Forces repulsed the attack, the forces of the 28th and 46th brigades retreated with losses. In one of the companies of the battalion of the 28th brigade, the number of killed and wounded exceeded 84 percent of the total force.
▪️Combined brigade artillery groups of the 28th and 53rd mechanized brigades are firing at the positions of the RF Armed Forces in Ozaryanovka and Kurdyumovka.
▪️In the third decade of December, the Ukrainian command intends to conduct a counteroffensive in the Bakhmut sector with the task of pushing the RF Armed Forces 10-15 km from the current front line.
To build up the grouping from the Kherson direction to the Udachnoye station, the 105th, 106th and 107th battalions of the 63rd SMB of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being transferred, and at least the 98th battalion of the 60th SMB arrived in Bakhmut.
▪️Ammunition and fuel and lubricants have been delivered to Chasov Yar. In Konstantinovka, the mobilized are being distributed among units in Bakhmut, Soledar and Ivanovsky.
🔻In the Soledar sector, the Wagnerites completed the cleansing of Yakovlevka, providing a springboard for the attack on Soledar.
🔻In the Lisichansky sector, units of the 81st SAembr are conducting positional battles on the western outskirts of Belogorovka. Grenade launchers and ammunition were deployed to the area of operations.
🔻Over the past weeks, separate units 24, 60, 63, 65, Smbr, 46 SAembr, 71 EBR, 128 Sgshbr and 112 troop troop units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been deployed to the combat area.
A significant reinforcement of the garrison is necessary to keep Bakhmut, the loss of which could seriously damage the image of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Its defense and glorification following the example of Mariupol is their top priority.

At some point however, guys like Putin and Surovikin will stop worrying about their hearts and minds and settle for their asses...
If NATO and the West didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
From the briefing (https://www.nato.int/kosovo/press/p990525b.htm) by NATO Spokesperson Jamie Shea. Brussels, 25 May 1999:
Q: If you say that the [Yugoslav] army has a lot of generators, then why are you depriving the country of 70% not only of electricity, but also of water supply, because, according to you, [NATO] attacks only military facilities.
A: Unfortunately, command and control systems also depend on electricity. If Milosevic really wants his citizens to have water and electricity, all he has to do is accept NATO’s terms and we will stop this campaign. Until he does, we will continue to attack targets that supply his army with electricity. If it has consequences for the population, it is his [Milosevich’s] problem. Water and electricity are being used against the people of Serbia, we have shut them off for good or for a long time for the sake of the 1.6 million Kosovars who have been driven from their homes and whose lives have been significantly damaged. Not everyone will like this difference, but for me it is fundamental.”
I guess the tanks will roll shortly.
True but this hasn’t stopped Ukraine from demanding the US send the Patriot System to help them
Boo hoo.
I think this attack is Russia using its missiles before Ukraine gets its Patriots, knowing how useless they will be afterwards.
Well they said 37 of 40 were shot down in Kiev.
Good post, thanks. Not much response from the Biden war cheerleader crowd. Carry on war cheerleaders, your war, war, war agenda is leading to destruction.
You should have listened to Vlad two months ago when he stated “ we haven’t even started yet”, instead you keep drinking the fake western Media whiskey, make no mistake, Zelensky’s “ leadership “, refusal to negotiate has destroyed Ukraine, this war will end on Vlad’s terms, and there is nothing the inept, corrupted West can do about it.
Yeah, intercepted by th electric grid.
Somebody 'plain that one for me, please.
How many countless videos do we have of the Eukrainian Nazi’s shelling citizens, no Russian military in site.
“make no mistake, Zelensky’s “ leadership “, refusal to negotiate has destroyed Ukraine,”

Yes.
So many Ukrainians have died and continue to die. And we keep sending money to keep this going.
The money is helping less Ukrainians die.
If they fell under Putin then, well remember the Holodomor?
Vlad not only started, in 2014, but since March 202 he has been losing.
