The Ukrainian military has reportedly captured the Wagner Group’s novel laser detection device, called the Spider. Sergey Flash, a Ukrainian soldier, shared images of the Spider system that had allegedly been captured during a battle. The captured helmet-mounted device, used as a passive military defence and also had a manual with instructions in Russian. Russia’s private military company, the Wagner Group, is reportedly operating Russia’s prized T-90M tanks in Ukraine. Experts wonder why the Kremlin has given the valuable T-90s, which are short in supply, to Wagner fighters.

The Ukrainian military has denied claims that Russia has captured the whole of Soledar in Donetsk, saying battles are continuing. On January 11, Russia’s Defense Ministry said that Russian paratroopers had blocked Soledar from the north and south. The Russian army said the fierce battle for Soledar is ongoing, contradicting earlier claims by Wagner Group that it had taken control of the town. The Kremlin said it was important not to “rush” to declare victory in Soledar, urging to wait for “official announcements”. Meanwhile, Russia has sacked Sergei Surovikin as the commander of the combined forces group for the “special military operation” in Ukraine. Kyiv claims Ukraine will be able to win the war this year if the West supplies more weapons, including long-range missile systems.
