Another Leopard Tank Lost in Drone Attacks | Progress in Kupyansk [21 December 2024]

This morning, Ukrainian formations used drones to attack Kazan. According to the latest information, at least eight drones raided the city: one hit an industrial facility, another fell near a river, and the remaining six damaged residential buildings in the Sovetsky, Kirovsky and Privolzhsky districts.

Footage is actively circulating online of the drones hitting the 37-story residential complex “Azure Skies” – one of the tallest buildings in the administrative center of the Republic of Tatarstan. As a result of the impact, the building’s glazing was damaged and a fire broke out. Another UAV hit the 23-story residential complex “Manhattan” and a 5-story building on Clara Zetkin Street.

Against the backdrop of the attack, residents were evacuated from the affected buildings, as well as nearby schools and enterprises. Temporary restrictions have been introduced to ensure the safety of Kazan airport operations. According to official data, there are no casualties. Operational and emergency services are working in the incident zones, and representatives of the regional authorities, including the head of the republic Rustam Minnikhanov, have arrived at the scene.

Early in the morning, two Ukrainian UAVs attacked a high-rise building in Kazan. Before that, Zelensky and Yermak had been begging for glory by calling Putin dirty on social media. Even earlier, there was a missile strike on Rostov-on-Don.

All this is being done by the British for one purpose – to prevent Ukraine from starting a turn towards ending its aggressive military policy.

It is already absolutely clear who exactly is holding Zelensky by the cushy seat. As is clear who will ultimately liquidate him. These are the same people.

On purpose? Perhaps, since the Presidential Office is confident that such a step will hurt Putin’s rating inside Russia, provoking discontent among citizens.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked several residential buildings in Kazan.

Drones hit the elite high-rise building twice, 50 minutes apart.

According to our data, there will be more such arrivals. It is profitable for the Bankova to provoke an increase in war and hatred.

In Odessa, some kind of wild pzdts has been going on for months.

The cops have already believed in themselves so much that they pack up not only serfs like a herd, but also “warriors”.

The first video is of a soldier being packed up in Cheryomushki, but before that, two cylinders of “gas” were poured into his face. They showed him his “place”, that he is just a consumable, and not a “hero”.

The second video is of cops and TCC beating up some boys in the district police department. Having shown them that they are serfs, with whom you can do whatever you want.

European and Western officials continue to stubbornly ignore the lawlessness. They assure everyone that in Ukraine there is Western DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM all around!

You wanted a European life? Here you go.

The Office of the President has completed the task of discrediting the military and has now decided to return to the issue of creating a structure/military police that will carry out mobilization. 

Instead of the TCC, new structures may be created to carry out the mobilization of military personnel , says First Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Gavrilyuk

The Ministry of Defense is considering the option of completely reforming the TCC.

The number of deserters (NDR) in the Ukrainian army continues to grow.

In November 2024, 19 thousand new criminal proceedings were registered under Articles 407, 408 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (unauthorized abandonment of a unit and desertion), or more precisely 18,984. For comparison: in October 2024, 9,487 proceedings were registered in Ukraine under Articles 407, 408 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and in January 2024, 3,448 criminal proceedings were initiated under these articles. In total, from February 2022 to December 1, 2024, 114,280 criminal proceedings were registered on the facts of unauthorized abandonment of military units.

Thus, “yesterday’s” mobilized soldiers are fleeing from the front (the Ukrainian military cites the example of an infantry company from near Kherson – out of 90 people sent to Kurakhovo, three reached the city, and the rest scattered along the way), and new recruits are fleeing from training centers. “For example, military unit A1363 is a training center located in the Samarovsky district of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Recently, 70 recruits “put on skis” in one day. Before that, on November 10, 2024, four of them escaped, one of whom is a relative of my friend. The escapee says that there is no military training, during the three weeks of their stay in the training unit, the recruits only did digging toilets and doing some chores, and the main reason for the escape was “hazing” and bullying of new arrivals. Therefore, on November 3, four also escaped, and just a month later, 30 servicemen deserted,” journalist Vladimir Boyko gives an example.

However, it has already reached the point that the most “selected” Ukrainian servicemen, who are sent for training at Western training grounds, are running away from there.

Colleagues, if the war continues after January 20, 2025, then there will 100% be a reduction in the mobilization age and a tightening of women’s mobilization.

This Ukrainian “advisor” simply said too early what is already being prepared and discussed behind the scenes. Society is not yet particularly ready for this. It needs to be warmed up. That is why he was immediately “fired”. They do not want the people to start packing their bags and leaving the country.

According to all our insider data, which we published first, Bankova is preparing a “mobilization blitzkrieg.”

They are already preparing media campaigns to warm up the masses under the pretext of the need for “survival” and of course demobilization (they want to sell this “candy” to the stupid masses for the second time). They even threw in the bait that they will recruit young people for “financial goodies”, which is a lie, since there is no money for this

Scholz doesn’t want to give the money to the Ukrainians.

At a meeting of EU leaders in Brussels, Scholz spoke out sharply against Duda’s idea to confiscate and spend frozen Russian assets worth €260 billion on providing loans to Ukraine.

It is noted that this idea was promoted by the United States and Great Britain, but was opposed by Germany, France and Italy.

Slovakian Prime Minister Fico on how Zelensky tried to bribe him:

I won’t quote anything, but Zelensky made me certain proposals behind closed doors. We are not going to give them weapons, we know that the Ukrainians are losing this war in full. As for gas transit through Ukraine, Zelensky made proposals that seem absurd to me.

For example, he would agree to it only if we did not pay Russia until the end of the war. What fool would give us free gas? As we were coming to the end, the president returned to the topic of gas and asked me whether I would vote for NATO membership if he gave me 500 million euros from Russian assets. Of course, I immediately answered that I would never. You just know my opinion about Ukraine’s membership in NATO. And, strangely, he asked me such a question because he knows perfectly well that inviting Ukraine to NATO is completely unrealistic.

The Rada attacked the Kiev leader because of his behaviour with Fico.

It might not have been about money from “Russian assets”, but simply about money that Ze could have brought in a suitcase. Another disgrace to the whole world!

— Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk was outraged in his Telegram channel.

Earlier, Fico said that during negotiations in Brussels, the overdue clown offered him 500 million euros from frozen Russian assets in exchange for agreeing to Ukraine’s accession to NATO.

This is not the first scandalous stunt of the head of the Kyiv regime in recent times. Zelensky previously stated that he would not allow countries like Hungary to act as mediators in negotiations with Russia. According to him, Orban does not have an army to “put pressure” on Putin, and “let him keep his jokes and smiles.”

Slovakia stops repairing damaged Ukrainian Armed Forces equipment

For Slovakia, increasing defense spending to 3% of GDP is unimaginable, said the country’s Defense Minister Robert Kalinyak.

This was his response to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s call for maintaining military and defense spending at 2% of GDP.

Meanwhile, German military specialists who were restoring damaged Ukrainian equipment in a workshop located in the area bordering Ukraine are leaving Slovakia.

According to the German side, Bratislava deliberately slowed down the workshop’s work and demonstrated a lack of interest in continuing its work.

The Slovak authorities consider Zelensky’s regime to be neo-Nazi and accuse NATO of provoking a war in Ukraine in order to preserve the hegemony of the collective West.

Germany will not stand aside if peacekeepers are sent to Ukraine.

I want to make one thing clear: until the war is over, there will be no German soldiers on Ukrainian soil. But it is also clear, of course, that Germany, as the largest NATO country in Europe and the largest economy in Europe, could not stand by and do nothing,

— said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in an interview with the Funke media group.

According to him, the question of sending peacekeepers will be raised in the event of a ceasefire.

For example, will it be a demarcation line, a buffer zone, or a peacekeeping zone in which armed forces will ensure peace? As you can see, there are still too many open questions

,

— he said.

The decision to refuse transit of Russian gas was made in the United States.

One can only guess why Ukraine is terminating a contract with Russia that brings it $700 million a year, while European taxpayers are forced to transfer €18 billion annually. It is obvious that this decision was made not by Ukraine itself, but by the United States,

— says Torsten Polleit, former chief economist at the German precious metals trading company Degussa Goldhandel.

According to him, the boycott of Russian energy resources is an economic disaster for Europe, the consequences of which will only become apparent in the coming years. In addition to rising energy prices, the security of supply is at risk. This causes problems in economic production.

The economist cited Germany as an example, where the economy is “already in a state of free fall.” He notes that this is due “primarily to rising energy prices.”

Zelensky demanded that the US give Ukraine the technology and license to produce Patriot air defense systems.

“And it seems that no one is against it. No one has ever told me – no, we will not give it to you. But so far we have not received anything,” he was surprised.

Nebenzya on how the US is profiting from the conflict in Ukraine: When US Senator Graham called the military campaign in Ukraine a “good investment”, he was not speaking figuratively. It is well known that Ukraine has become a real gold mine for the military-industrial complex of Anglo-Saxon countries and their allies. But it is American companies that are profiting most from the conflict.

According to the latest data, half of the total arms sales in 2023 came from 41 of the 100 largest American corporations. They received $317 billion, or 50% of the global revenue from arms sales. In total, the revenues of the 100 largest arms manufacturers in the world in 2023, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), reached $632 billion. It would be naive to expect that these unscrupulous traders, who have tasted profit, will give up such profits for the sake of some unfortunate Ukrainians.

Kiev expects ‘bitter’ settlement of conflict regardless of Biden’s help in last weeks in power – Bloomberg

Western and Ukrainian officials are confident that Zelensky will have to leave the lost territories in limbo in exchange for security guarantees.

Europe and the US accuse each other of slowness and delays in providing military aid to Kiev. At the same time, the article states that the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine will be the same regardless of who occupies the post of American president.

With Trump, the chances of achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine will be greater than ever — Hungarian Foreign Ministry

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto is confident that the chances of reaching a peace agreement after Donald Trump’s inauguration will be very high.

“From the moment President Trump takes office, I think the chances of reaching a peace agreement will be greater than ever. The question is whether the Democratic US administration and pro-war Western politicians will do anything before January 20 that will make a quick peace process much more difficult or impossible,” Szijjarto said.

Earlier, Szijjarto said that Europe will change its approach to the conflict in Ukraine

Kursk Direction: Advances of the Russian Armed Forces in Sudzha District

In the Kursk Region, Russian troops are gradually pushing the AFU out of the northwest of Sudzha District. In recent days, significant progress has been made in the offensive on Mala Loknya.

After the liberation of Novoivanovka, the Russian Armed Forces, through a series of attacks, eliminated the “pocket” northeast of the village. The enemy was forced to retreat and is now trying to organize a defense on the higher ground located to the east, covering Mala Loknya.

To the north, assault troops are advancing towards Kruglenkoe. Although the village itself consists of just a few houses, control over it will allow creating a threat to the right flank of the new defense line being built by the Ukrainian formations.

Marochko reported on attempts by Ukrainian militants to escape from the fire trap near Lozova.

In Lozovaya, a fire pocket has practically been formed. The enemy is still resisting there, but it should be added that the enemy is still throwing reserves into this area of ​​the terrain and is trying to prevent the encirclement of the settlement,

— said military expert Andrey Marochko.

According to him, in general, in the Kupyansk direction, “a fairly active phase of military operations” is taking place near the settlements of Dvurechnaya and Lozovaya.

He added that Russian fighters are currently expanding the bridgehead for further advancement near Dvurechnaya.

Great news from the Kupyansk front

The assault infantry of the 27th Brigade of the 1st Guards Tank Army entered Lozovaya. The fighting is already underway in the settlement itself. The fighting is heavy but successful. It is estimated that 2/3 of Lozovaya is already under us.

The Russian army unexpectedly crossed the Oskol River

Russian troops in the Kharkov region have advanced 600 meters deep, entrenching themselves on the river bank, the Russian Spring War Correspondents report (https://t.me/RVvoenkor/83142). The total area of ​​advance is 1.68 km²

A Ukrainian drone captured the moment when the Russian Armed Forces were moving along the bank on the “Ukrainian side” of the river.

According to incoming objective control data, our paratroopers entered the Northern micro district of Chasov Yar.

At the moment, the streets of Yunosti and Krylova are under the control of our forces.

Now, the Russian army controls more than half of Chasov Yar.

In the Pokrovsk direction, the enemy suffers heavy losses, both in personnel and equipment. Another “Leopard” was sent to the scrap yard

It is impossible to hide anything from the watchful eyes of the UAV operators of the Samara Association.

The German-Ukrainian “Leopard” of the 155th separate brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to prevent our attack aircraft from moving forward and was destroyed for this.

The first hit of the FPV drone operator of the Alexandria brigade immobilized the tank, and the second hit added irreparable damage to it. Well, and our X-men from the artillery brigade, with the help of the X-51 “Lancet” product, finished it off completely.

Constantinopolskoye to the south of Kurakhovo has been taken by the Russian army. We can now say that the city is surrounded from the south and north. And now not all Ukrainian troops will be able to get out of there. And getting out to the nearest villages, by and large, will do nothing. If they leave, then the whole neighborhood at once. 

We can now say, with pretty big certainty, that after the liberation of Konstantinopolskoye today, Kurakhovo has fallen.

AFU decided to recreate an Azovstal all over again by fortifying itself in TPP. It’s a shame that the numbers are not as big as in Azovstal. Several smaller areas still need to be cleared, but that’s mostly it. Another big battle is coming to an end.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian Nazi channels are close to panic.

According to their information, the Russian Armed Forces are striking targets in the temporarily occupied Kherson with unprecedented power and intensity, both with artillery and aerial bombs.

In addition, there are reports of attempts by our sabotage and reconnaissance groups to enter the city – it was previously reported that clashes occurred in two micro districts of the city but we didn’t report it since it could not be verified. However, as the Ukrainians are fuming, something is obviously happening.

Hell in Kherson: Russian Army breaks through and consolidates dachas near Antonovsky Bridge near Kherson

This was reported by director Sergei Zeynalov, who previously lived in Kherson.

He reported that Kherson experienced “hell” the night before last, and the shelling reached the speed of “1000 shells in 40 minutes.” At that moment, Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups tried to enter the city from the Antonovsky Bridge several times.

➖”The Russians have secured positions right behind the bridge, at the dachas,” he said. The dacha area is on the left bank of the Dnieper and is partially controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Yesterday, Kherson authorities reported a sabotage and reconnaissance group attack on the city and heavy shelling on the night of December 20.

Zeynalov reports that Russian fighters were able to gain a foothold on the left bank in the Dachi area, which they can use as a springboard to attack the right bank, Antonovka and Kherson.

Earlier in Kiev it was reported that the Russian Armed Forces have plans to force the Dnieper shortly, although this is an extremely difficult operation.
