UK is reportedly looking to give Ukraine ten Challenger 2 main battle tanks
What Are U.K. Challenger Tanks? Western Weapon That Could Go to Ukraine

Citing a Ukrainian source, Britain's Sky News reported that discussions have been ongoing for the U.K. to give Kyiv 10 of the British Army's Challenger 2 main battle tanks (MBT), which would be enough to equip a squadron.
"The Challenger is a frightening beast," "They're bigger, and much more of a monster than Soviet vehicles and tanks."
"One would hope that the U.K. would teach them to fight as a tank squadron. If they put them into a key position where they want to break through...then you could actually see something quite positive from them,"
"They want to be used as spearhead because if they drive them towards semi-trained or untrained troops, they'll just run away and are not going to stand around and wait for these monsters to come in and attack them,"
It can fire a wide variety of standard NATO 120 mm tank munitions and its turret and hull are protected with second-generation Chobham armor, making it one of the most protected tanks in the world, according to Military Today. The outlet said that the Challenger gun claims the longest-distance tank kill in history, defeating an Iraqi tank at a range of 4 kilometers during the Gulf War.

Russia Fears Frozen River Could Hand Ukraine Major Opportunity—Report

Ukrainian troops could take advantage of a sharp dip in the Dnieper River's water levels to cross the current front line at Zaporizhzhia and "start action anywhere" on this southern line of fighting, an official in the Russian-backed administration of the Ukrainian region has said.
Russia needs "to be prepared" for Kyiv's forces to advance if the surface of the river freezes, as it has done in the past and may likely do again in the coming days, Vladimir Rogov, the head of the pro-Moscow We Stand With Russia movement, said on Monday, according Kremlin-controlled news agency Tass.

Poor orcs, they will shit their pants without the possibility of washing themselves since the water will be frozen.

Ukraine war: Russia set to capture Soledar and its vast tunnel network

Russia looks set to capture the salt-mining town of Soledar in eastern Ukraine, with Kyiv calling the situation there "extremely difficult".
The strategic importance of Soledar is debated, but its capture would be significant for two reasons.
First, it would allow Russian forces to inch closer to the regional city of Bakhmut. Russia could use access to Soledar's deep, city-like network of salt mine tunnels, dormant since April, to penetrate Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Secondly, invading forces would be able to give Ukraine a taste of its own medicine. One thing that has helped Kyiv liberate territory has been its ability to target Russian supply lines.
The UK said it believed Soledar was close to falling to Russia - but added that the Kremlin was "unlikely" to take Bakhmut immediately due to Ukraine's "stable defence lines".
A senior military official from the US Department of Defense said on Monday there was a "good portion" of Soledar in Russian hands.
Capturing Soledar would just as much be a propaganda victory for the Kremlin as a military one.
The gains for Russia are relatively small and costly, but the town would be a much-needed trophy to present to critics back home.

Not a good news, but Soledar can always be recovered later. Which could turn the small victory for the Russian propaganda into an epic failure.

Russian artillery fire down nearly 75%, US officials say, in latest sign of struggles for Moscow

Washington CNN —  As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine enters its 11th month, US and Ukrainian officials tell CNN that Russia’s artillery fire is down dramatically from its wartime high, in some places by as much as 75 percent.
US and Ukrainian officials don’t yet have a clear or singular explanation. Russia may be rationing artillery rounds due to low supplies, or it could be part of a broader reassessment of tactics in the face of successful Ukrainian offenses.
Last month, a senior US military official said that Russia has had to resort to 40-year-old artillery shells as their supply of new ammo dwindled. To the US, the use of degraded ammunition, as well as the Kremlin’s outreach to countries like North Korea and Iran, was a sign of Russia’s diminished stocks of weaponry.
The Russians’ declining rate of fire is not linear, one US defense official noted, and there are days when Russians still fire far more artillery rounds – particularly around the eastern Ukrainian cities of Bakhmut and Kreminna, as well as some near Kherson in the south.
It appears now that Russia is focused more on bolstering its defense fortifications, particularly in central Zaporizhzhia, the UK Ministry of Defense reported in its regular intelligence update on Sunday. The movements suggest that Moscow is concerned about a potential Ukrainian offensive either there or in Luhansk, the ministry said.

🙄This topic is prominent today.
It appears that a large number of anti-aircraft vehicles are being assembled in the city of Moscow.

Moscow appears to be overly fearful of drone strikes and assassinations of government leaders.

Moscow's defenses may be strengthened, but the air defense posture of Russian infrastructure facilities and military bases will be greatly reduced.

If the Russian government had been "honest," what would it have done to Kiev? It would have broadcast it within Russia.
If Ukraine does such a thing to Moscow, the Russian people will know what will happen to them.

If I were a Russian citizen unable to escape Russia due to unavoidable circumstances, I would consider distancing myself from Moscow.
Frankly, I think it is better to think of it as preparing for something more dangerous than drone countermeasures.

Nine Twelve people, including one teenager, were killed when a Russian missile hit an apartment block in the city of Dnipro Saturday, according to the deputy head of the Ukrainian president's office.
The teenager killed was a 15-year old girl, Kyrylo Tymoshenko said in an update on Telegram.
He said 37 people were rescued from the building, including 6 children, and 64 people were injured, including 14 children.
Search and rescue operations at the site continued into Saturday night.

(1/5) On 12 January 2023, Andrey Kartapolov, the head of the Russian State Duma Defence Committee, suggested Russia would extend the upper age of routine military conscription from 27 to 30 in time for the Spring 2023 draft.

🙄 The Russian government continues to mobilize the entire population "without a break," doesn't it?
Will young people disappear from the workplace and only rich old people will survive in this society?
How many times have we raised the age?
Not a year has passed since this war began.
At this rate, if the age range is regularly expanded, one can only imagine when the Russian citizens who can read this will be eligible.

There will be no adults to raise children and no one to take care of the elderly.
Some may say that this has never happened in history.
You might want to read about the "end of war" or "post-war" period in Japan during World War II.
You may see despair and hell in the former and salvation and resignation in the latter.

Dnipro apartment building attack: Death toll rises to 20 | CNN

Today, among other things, it seems that they attacked Dnipro with antiquated missile from the Black Sea, again involving civilians.

In a few more months, Russian cities will be flooded with Russian soldiers who were lucky enough to return from the front lines in Ukraine with serious injuries.
The day will soon come when one of the warlords with many weapons will call themselves the Russian government as security deteriorates since the Russian government is refusing to pay even a couple of dollars to guarantee the lives of the wounded soldiers.
The leaders of the Russian government, who are in a position to see such "damage data," will be talking nonsense about doing something about it in a month.
Do you Russian citizens want to spend the rest of your lives taking care of these hassles?

Do most of you not realize that Russia will have the same result if it wins or loses to Ukraine?
Russia has lost its youth, it has lost its credibility, and of course it doesn't have anything to make up for the losses because it has ruined Ukraine, the country it looted.

It would be better to get rid of the Russian government as soon as possible, which has made such a foolish choice that can only make both Russia and Ukraine unhappy.
It is difficult to understand what people who call themselves Russian citizens are thinking when they speak about this area.

Russian propagandist rejoices over civilian deaths after the strike in Dnipro
[Video on Twitter] - Russians celebrate the strike on a civilian house in Dnipro. No negotiations. No forgiveness. Arm Ukraine now! This is the only way to peace.

Sergei Mardan, a propagandist from the «Komsomolskaya Pravda» media, rejoices at the death of civilians as a result of yesterday's Russian rocket attacks on Dnipro and threatens Kyiv and Kharkiv with the fate of Mariupol.

So? We celebrated with some nice fireworks. Proper fireworks, as there should be. Does it feel good? I'm not going to hide it, it feels good. But it would feel much better to see some bridge over Dnipro blown up to pieces. Even if, even if it was our missile that hit that house (Of course, the rashists say it was Ukraine's fault), it doesn't change anything for me personally. Look at pictures of Mariupol. This what's going to happen to Kharkiv. Yes, it is, is. It's going to happen to Dnipro, it's going to happen to Kyiv.

I bet Sergei Mardan likes this too

Ukraine: civilian casualty update 16 January 2023 | OHCHR

From 24 February 2022, when the Russian Federation’s armed attack against Ukraine started, to 15 January 2023, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) recorded 18,358 civilian casualties in the country: 7,031 killed and 11,327 injured. This included:

😑
The first Russian propaganda line was, "It's a special operation that doesn't involve civilians." Wasn't it?
With so many people missing, it is not surprising that another 10,000 or so were killed.
Russia, I believe, had about three times the population of Ukraine.
Imagine where a nearby city of 30,000 Russian citizens disappeared.
Including how they might have died.
Well, today is the day when about 7,000 people died in a major earthquake in my country a long time ago.
If you say that was done by human beings, then I feel that human beings are evil and dangerous creatures.

I highly recommend listening to it.

[...] In order to really take Kyiv, in order to really defeat the million-strong Ukrainian army, which the West helps, supplies with weapons, you must do the following, comrades - this is what I appeal to the Z-patriots - well, let's do it.
The first is to announce a real mobilization in the country, to actually conscript several million Russian men.
Next: you must actually close the exit from the country, really put the entire economy on martial law.
What you will achieve as a result is that the huge million-strong cities in ukraine, including Kyiv and Kharkov, will turn into ruins like Mariupol. You will get hundreds of thousands of dead people. Is it what you want?

Good question for the Russians.

I no longer count the reports of an imminent attack from Belarus. This stuff turned out to be a fantasy. Lukashenko, the Belarusian dictator, will lose everything if he attacks.

Most of Wagner Prisoner Fighters Are Dead or Deserted After Soledar: Report

Approximately just one-fifth of the former Russian prisoners recruited to fight against Ukraine as part of the Wagner Group remain, according to a Russian journalist. [...]
But of those approximate 50,000 soldiers, only "10,000 are fighting at the front, because all the rest are either killed...or missing, or deserted, or surrendered."
She also suggested that Prigozhin does not keep statistics on missing or defected prisoners, instead writing off such soldiers as deceased whether or not it's factual.
Meduza reported on Friday about a woman who received an empty coffin from the Wagner Group, though she was unaware it was empty at the time. [...]
"They told us that there was no need to open the coffin, because before sending [fighters to the war], they take some DNA, and when the corpses are found, they compare them," said the woman. "They told us that they gave us a 100 percent guarantee that it is him."
Claims of a mostly depleted force comprised of prisoners and mercenaries accompany new reports of tension between Prigozhin and Putin, due to the group not living up to its advertised military prowess.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Prigozhin's "star has begun to set" after failed promises of capturing the Donetsk city of Bakhmut.

Prigozhin's Wagner is almost out of meat bags. This might explain why Prigozhin was so eager to take all the credit for Soledar.

Amazing to see Russians getting scammed over and over again by their government and not reacting. It's like Russians never learn.

Estonia to give Ukraine all its 155-mm howitzers in largest aid package so far

[...] citing Estonian Ambassador to Ukraine Kaimo Kuusk. "We want to create a precedent so that other countries will not have any excuses why they cannot provide Ukraine with the necessary weapons to win the war," Kuusk reportedly said.
Kuusk also confirmed previous media reports that the package would include dozens of 155-mm FH-70 and 122-mm D-30 howitzers, thousands of 155 mm artillery shells, and hundreds of M2 Carl Gustaf anti-tank grenade launchers with ammunition. [...]
It would be the largest aid package provided by Estonia so far, increasing the country's total military assistance to 370 million euros which is more than 1% of its GDP.

Other European countries should follow Estonia's example and use 1% of their own GDP to help Ukraine. Also, they should avoid delaying their help under false pretexts.
