Again there were night attacks on targets in Ukraine - again with drones and cruise missiles: From the Black Sea, the fleet struck with four "calibers". From the east coast of the Azov Sea, the Russians attacked 10 Shahids. From the Rostov region, they struck targets in the Donbass with six Kh-22 air-launched cruise missiles. Ukrainian air defenses failed to shoot down one of them. The consequences will be published again today by the Russian Defense Ministry.On the southern front, the old picture still prevails - territorial fighting in the gray zone, without the Ukrainian side being able to advance to the first line of defense. In the Makarovka region, fierce fighting continues, Russian troops continue their attacks and try to eliminate the forces, the enemy was repulsed in several areas. Ukrainian military propagandists recognize the multiple attacks of the Russian Federation forces to the south and southwest of the village, as well as the approach of our reserves along the line Urozhanye-Novodonetskoe-Novomayorskoe.All in all, the Ukrainian Army is continuously losing Western combat equipment due to a significantly increased number of air strikes by the Russian Air Force - Gunships and SU-35 with up to 300 sorties per day. The impression arises that the Russians were damn well prepared and in principle doubled the air strikes at the right time, that also reports the British intelligence, which otherwise, as is known, likes to fine-tune the truths. Again, numerous new videos and pictures of destroyed equipment testify to the penetrating power of Russian air superiority. Putin speaks of up to 30% destroyed systems out of the total number of the last delivered quantities of NATO partners. For every hundred AFU soldiers initially injured, 50 die. In total, experts estimate up to 13,000 AFU casualties KIA- more than the Soviet army lost in the Afgahnistan campaign. The current ratio is 10 AFU soldiers for 1 RAF soldier. Putin speaks of just over 50 Russian tanks lost in the entire conflict.Medvedev, meanwhile, underscores the following:The Russian President recently advocated the establishment of a demilitarized zone to ensure the country's security. This zone should be established along the borders of Lvov (Polish: Lemberg) and serve as an effective defense measure. It is implied that this demilitarized zone would redefine the borders of the area previously referred to as "Land 404."Considering the alleged involvement of Western countries in undermining the Nord Stream project, Medvedev implies that there are no moral or other constraints preventing Russia from damaging its adversaries' submarine cable links. This implies a willingness to respond to perceived threats with aggressive action.The New York Times writes about the NATO / Ukraine discussion:According to the source, Washington could offer Kiev cooperation based on the "Israeli model," in which states agree to provide security for 10 years.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted critically to this proposal. He pointed out that only Ukraine's accession to NATO will contribute to victory on the front lines.I'm taking my usual break now, after long nights on the Twitter front, I'm a bit worn out too. Regardless, the situation looks really good for Russia and a picture of a catastrophic defeat for Ukraine is crystallizing more and more. I'll stay tuned after my dog and I get some fresh air.
