The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on January 06 2026

RUAF Capture Several Ukrainian Positions East of The Donetsk Canal | Yet Another Sumy Incursion

 Globalists continue to promote the line with an international contingent, which will not suit Putin in any format and the war will continue. For Zelensky, this is currently the most convenient option to shift the focus to the Kremlin in the failure of the peace track. For this, they are deliberately dragging out issues with nuclear power plants, the contingent, and the status of territories, and the Donbass issue is on hold altogether.

At the meeting in Paris, allies will discuss the presence of US troops in Ukraine, — Bloomberg.

The negotiations in Paris on Tuesday will focus on integrating the opportunities proposed by Washington with the plans of the “coalition of the willing”, the publication writes, citing sources familiar with the situation.

“It’s unclear what role US troops will play or where they will be deployed in the event of a peace agreement with Russia. European countries have discussed the deployment of multinational ‘security forces’, with the Ukrainian army leading the defense on the front line,” the article says.

The sources also reported that “the US is also ready to assist in monitoring the ceasefire, including by providing intelligence. Drones and satellites will be used to detect violations.”

It was reported in the summer that Yermak’s plan consists of major drafts aimed at sabotaging Trump’s peace plan and accusing the Kremlin of derailing the deal. Everything points to the fact that the war will continue, with a possible escalation.

European partners are discussing the deployment of up to 30,000 peacekeepers in Ukraine, according to “Radio Liberty”.

According to Western officials, peacekeepers are intended to be deployed in western Ukraine to support and train Ukrainian troops.

The estimated number of peacekeepers ranges from 15,000 to 20,000, but some suggest that their number will be closer to 30,000.

“The bulk of the troops should be provided by France and the UK, which will be responsible for the ground and air components. Turkey has indicated that it will take responsibility for the security of transport routes in the Black Sea,” the article says.

It is also noted that at the moment, it is unclear how close the potential forces of the “Coalition of the Willing” will be located to the contact line.

Kiev’s main task is to involve the Americans in the process, so Trump will not have the opportunity to distance himself from the Ukrainian case.

The globalists continue their game, and no one is going to back down.

Ukraine, France, and the United Kingdom have signed a declaration of intent to deploy multinational forces in Ukraine after the war ends.

However, Polish Prime Minister Tusk stated that agreements on specific guarantees from each country are still in the ‘draft’ stage.

It’s also unclear whether the US supports the deployment of international forces, or if this is just a wish of Ukraine, Britain, and France.

Colleagues, we wrote this morning that the globalists need to derail Trump’s peace track, but it seems Whitcoff pushed the situation through. Everyone understands the situation perfectly well, and the agreements in Alaska were clearly of a conceptual format for the US and Russia.

For now, the entire document seems to show that Zelensky was pushed through, and the Europeans are just trying to save face. Let’s see what the Queen (of Britain) will do – they will clearly not abandon the track and will try to change the clauses of the agreement.

According to sources, Volodymyr Zelensky’s personnel reshuffles are pursuing several goals. Among them: strengthening his position within the country, improving strained relations with the United States administration, and weakening political rivals. The appointment of Kirill Budanov seriously strengthens Zelensky’s position within the country. The former head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) is one of the most recognizable military figures in Ukraine and was a potential presidential candidate until recently.

Zelensky has effectively taken full control of two security services – the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR). They are completely losing their independence and acting solely in the president’s interests – that is, they will suppress dissent within the country, tighten control, and “dig up dirt” on the president’s rivals. Sources are confident that preparations are underway for two scenarios – elections and a possible escalation of the conflict. All these power reshuffles were made to strengthen Zelensky’s position, but Yermak’s influence on Zelensky remains, allowing the former head of the Presidential Office to shape the political direction both domestically and internationally.

Our source reports that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been actively sending infantry into suicidal assaults over the past month to create the illusion of stability on the front. However, this doesn’t really help and instead creates huge internal problems in the army. But the Bankova Street, as usual, is pursuing situational goals rather than strategic ones.

In reality, a huge gap is forming in the manpower pool, which at some point will lead to a collapse of the defense due to a shortage of soldiers. This will not just cause disillusionment among the military, but also a surge of strong negativity towards the authorities. If the office doesn’t drastically tighten and expand the mobilization process at some point, the result will be catastrophic for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Therefore, a blitzkrieg mobilization of everyone will take place if the peace talks fail.

According to our data, the globalists have promised to help Zelensky with the “deportation” of Ukrainians of military age who are on welfare in Ukraine.

According to our information, the Russian army’s advance towards Slavyansk and Kramatorsk is continuing, and battles are currently taking place in the central part of Konstantinovka. Seversk is already in enemy hands, Liman is partially encircled, and the enemy is just 16 km away from Slavyansk. The General Staff has started preparing for defense and is evacuating some documentation. The issue of reserves is very acute, as the battles for the Pokrovskaya pit have greatly exhausted the Armed Forces of Ukraine and could become a serious problem in the spring. The Territorial Defense Forces have received an order to round up all men on the street to reinforce the assault troops with manpower.

What’s happening in Kupiansk?

The situation on the Kupiansk direction continues to remain tense. Ukrainian formations are still operating almost throughout the entire city and are attempting to push Russian units out of its northern outskirts.

➡️The situation on the eastern bank also remains complicated. Statements about freeing the settlement of Podoly are not confirmed and are even refuted on the ground (https://t.me/dva_majors/86194). Drones continue to work on enemy groups in the area.

➡️Russian drone operators continue to operate in Kurylivka (https://t.me/operationall_space/8746), Pishchane, and surrounding areas (https://t.me/taran_Z_war/229), as both settlements have a high concentration of Ukrainian formations. Moreover, there were even reports of AFU counterattacks on the line between Pishchane — Tabayivka, though still contradictory.

❗️Despite the beginning of certain stabilization measures, a significant part remains primarily online in the form of the most incompetent anti-crisis responses.

📌Recent statements (https://t.me/shot_shot/90922) about Ukrainian formations striking their own “mercenaries”, which in reality targeted one of the few Russian Armed Forces positions in the city – something the “Belarusian Silovik” drew attention to (https://t.me/belarusian_silovik/66540) – remain beyond good and evil and are complete surrealistic nonsense.

Liberation of Grabovske

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of the settlement of Grabovske in Sumy Region.

➡️Most of the settlement was taken under control by Russian units back in the 20s of December, in just two days, with many members of Ukrainian formations taken prisoner. Surprisingly, the opponent quickly acknowledged the loss of the village, with the president of the so-called Ukraine Zelenskyy even speaking about the situation.

➡️After that, Ukrainian formations conducted a series of counterattacks from the direction of Ryasne and Taratutyno, but without success. After repelling the counterattacks of Ukrainian formations and two weeks of consolidation in the settlement, it was finally officially announced as liberated.

❗️Earlier, the village of Vysokе was also liberated by Russian troops, along with which the highest point of Sumy Region came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

📌And although the role of heights has somewhat diminished in modern conditions, the fact of worsening the situation for the opponent is evident. Especially since the Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the approaches to Sumy in neighboring directions as well.
