We also don’t hear about any Russian battlefield victories - guess there’s nothing to report
\___

The Russian advance in the east is picking up pace ( although still slow)

Russia has also regained a good chunk and the land Ukraine captured in their hyped up counteroffensive last summer

This includes the Bakhmut flanks where Russian troops have advanced west of the city and are approaching Chasiv Yar

Avdiivka is basically now surrounded and is now cut into Two with 1-2000 Ukrainian troops about to trapped in the southern part

Ukraine just sent one of its best and last reserves , 3rd Brigrade, to the city to stop the bleeding

CIA woke you Zeepers up early to spread elation -

This is war porn propaganda at its best.

I can tell how delighted you are that Biden sank another Russian ship.

LOL

If the Russians can win the battle of Bakhmut using shovels, there is no reason why they can’t shoot down a drone with a stick

Again!!!??? What winning looks like. Russia cannot maintain its Crimea naval base. No Russian navy ships dare to dock there. So what is the point of the vodka swillers occupying Crimea?
Prior to the Putin invasion, this Crimea Russian naval base had a long term lease with Ukraine. But this was not good enough for psycho-killer Putin.

Kharkiv Pact, also known as the Kharkov Accords, was a significant treaty between Ukraine and Russia. Signed on April 21, 2010, this agreement extended the Russian lease on naval facilities in Crimea beyond the original 2017 expiration date, all the way until 2042. As part of this deal, Russia secured an additional five-year renewal option, potentially extending the lease to 2047. In return, Ukraine received a multiyear discounted contract for Russian natural gas1.

Sure, lets show on a map this "good chunk" of land Russia regained.

KABOOMSKI!
And down goes the Russian ship. Via Ukrainian sea-drone attack. My bet is that 3-4 sea drones sunk it. I am going to Twitter to find out. Ukrainians are very clever weapons builders. During the USSR days, the Ukrainians designed and manufactured a good deal of Russian weaponry. By themselves and as joint projects with the USSR

That is for all of 2023…

The counter offensive didn’t start until mid year
In late summer Ukraine had a net positive for the year due to temporary gains, By the end of the year Russia ate some of those away and at the end of 2023 had a small net positive

Since Jan 1st, even more land has been recaptured

Yes, it shows the end result in 2023 of ALL the fighting. A stalemate. Russia having the #2 military force in the world fighting against a neighboring country with no air-force, navy or missile force.

The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (HUR MO) released footage from an attack with unmanned surface vessels (USVs) on the Project 775 Ropucha-class landing ship Caesar Kunikov (BDK-64) of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.

The warship was hit a number of times from multiple angles, which caused it to catch fire. The ship was visibly sinking by the end of the video.

********* This is a dramatic two minute video at the Twitter link. This video must come from an observational sea drone. The video is rocking as the waves hit this Ukie sea drone.

The ship has been under surveillance for more than a week as it was being loaded up with supplies and ammo for Russian troops in occupied left bank Kherson region.

Ukraine has no navy. Yet it is sinking the Russian navy one by one. AKA sinking the Russian Black Sea Fleet. That Vlad was very proud of after Vlad’s Crimea invasion of 2014. Because this cemented the Russian claim to Crimea.

Ukrainian sea-drones and missile attacks are un- cementing this Rooooski claim. And FVP!

Lots of explosive materials there to blow it up real good. I hope we get video of the secondary explosions on Twitter. These video are probably on Telegram first.

The landing ships that were originally meant for an amphibious landing on Odessa at the beginning of the invasion have been repurposed to re-supply Russian occupiers in Kherson. Russian troops in the region have been whining about not having enough supplies and ammo.
