The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on January 08 2026

11 KM Long Russian Push Reveals Crazy Russian Gamble At Encircling Ukrainian Forces East of Kupyansk

The peak of chaos is getting closer. The jackals are already intimidating the people with weapons, and it will soon come to the point where the people will start a guerrilla war against the police.

Today in Odessa, on Bazarnaya Street, during an attempt to kidnap another serf, a policeman threatened women with a gun.

After this, they ask why people don’t want to fight, and the number of SZCH is constantly increasing.

Our source reports that the people’s hatred for the TCC is greater than their hatred for Russia. The anti-rating of the Zelensky government is also increasing, which has now equaled the anti-rating of Russia. In the long run, this is a threat to the country’s national security, as there is a transformation in the masses’ perception of who their real enemy is.

Here’s the real attitude of Ukrainians towards the TCC police.

Last night in Odessa, near the Palmira residential complex, a woman clashed with the military registration and enlistment office, who were unable to catch up with her husband. She called them bastards and scumbags.

After this, the authorities want the people to fight for them.

Dear friends, but you can’t be so careless. Make reserves in advance. We warned you. 

In the supermarkets of Zaporizhia and Dnipro, people are massively buying up water.

Especially, find friends who have private houses and agree with them on joint survival. Buy firewood, warm clothes, and food. 

Stop believing in the Zelensky government. On the contrary, this tragedy benefits them, as they can capitalize on it.

The only ones to blame for this are Zelensky and his entourage, who stole money for the construction of protective structures for the energy infrastructure.

The roads in Ukraine have “come to a standstill”. 

Another crisis caused by the weather. Due to the snow blocking the roads, and the authorities sending a lot of special equipment to the LBS to build fortifications at an accelerated pace, where the Russians are constantly burning them, there is a shortage and it’s unlikely that they will be cleared quickly, which means logistics will be disrupted and there will be shortages in the cities. There will also be many tragedies on the roads due to the authorities’ negligence. 

Add to this the problems with energy and constant attacks on warehouses, as well as corruption, and you’ll realize where everything is heading. 

As usual, the officials have slept through it all and weren’t prepared for this. 

Let’s also add the case of water and heat shutdowns due to the infrastructure war and we get a disaster in the housing and utilities sector, when everything will start breaking down, as no one has carried out major repairs to the systems over the years. 

By the way, the ex-mayor of Odessa, Trukhanov, whom Zelensky dismissed, talked about this just like we did back in 2024.

Get ready, friends, for the worst. We’ve been writing about this constantly.

Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, and Zaporizhia regions will be targeted next.

Drones are flying and there have already been attacks.

Other regions should prepare for the same scenario. They will be hit in waves. First these ones, then we predict Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odessa, and Kirovohrad regions.

Next, Kyiv will be attacked and so on.

This will all lead to a complete catastrophe. Believe me, office workers and Zelensky have long wanted to prevent this, but on the contrary, they are provoking such a scenario to gain publicity on your misery, collect donations, and intensify mobilization for it.

This is all the result of Zelensky’s and his “thieves’” policies, which they started last year when they provoked the Infrastructure War 3.0.

Prepare for the worst!!!! Don’t wait!!!

 Without my involvement, Russia would now own all of Ukraine, — Trump

➖”Russia and China are not afraid of NATO without the United States, and I doubt that NATO will be on our side if we really need them. We were all lucky that during my first term, I restored our army and continue to do so. We will always be on NATO’s side, even if they are not on ours. The only country that China and Russia fear and respect is the USA,” Trump stated.

A document on US security guarantees is almost ready — Zelensky

 - The outgoing president stated that the document on security guarantees from the US “is practically ready for finalization” and could be formalized during his meeting with Trump. The Ukrainian and American delegations also discussed “the most complex issues of the basic framework for ending the war”.

 - Kiev presented its options for finalizing this document, after which negotiations between the US and Russia are expected, as well as Moscow’s reaction.

 - However, the US, it should be recalled, did not join the declaration of Kiev, Paris, and London on the introduction of Western troops into Ukraine as part of peace agreements.

Our sources report that the track of the South-West region remains the most challenging for the President’s Office, as the General Staff demands tougher criminal penalties, but the scenario of possible elections forces the Bankova to ignore the problem. According to sources, the trend in the South-West region continues to rise, and the number of military personnel who have left the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is approaching 500 thousand.

Ukrainian military are reporting a critical situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Konstantinovka. Our sources have reported on battles in the city center, where the enemy is increasing pressure. At the same time, Syrysy continues to assert control over the situation on the front, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing entire cities.

Konstantinovka direction: In the north of the Kharkiv region, the enemy is advancing. According to surveillance footage, they were able to reach a trench in a ravine and entrench themselves there. Next, tanks will systematically move along the same system, from one stronghold to another, advancing towards the settlement of Bereстоk, approaching it from the south and southeast. The task will be to squeeze the settlement from the flanks and create a threat of further encirclement.

In parallel, progress is being recorded on the western bank of the Bychok river and along the highway leading to Konstantinovka. Thanks to this, the gray zone is expanding and already extends beyond the highway – in the direction of the ravine before Illinovka. In fact, the enemy is identifying weak points, stretching the line and preparing conditions for further pressure.

It’s worth noting the activity of the enemy’s special reconnaissance and sabotage group, which is already operating in the area of Illinovka and using weather conditions: due to the limited work of aerial reconnaissance, the eyes in the sky are partially closed, which the enemy is taking advantage of.

Some foreign analysts point out that in order to hold Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Syrsky, will have to not so much reinforce with new forces, but rather think about how to redistribute the existing ones. At the moment, a significant part of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine involved here are distributed relatively evenly along the eastern flank, primarily in the area of Severodonetsk. But such a scheme works as long as the front line remains stable.

As Russian troops advance, the front will shift westward, which will force the Armed Forces of Ukraine to change the configuration of the defense and retreat to new positions. Here a key problem arises: two densely populated and equipped sectors – Severodonetsk and Konstantinovka – will begin to converge. Management in such a configuration becomes much more complex, especially with a high density of units.

There is an opinion that the situation in this case may resemble the first weeks of the “Bakhmut meat grinder”, when the concentration of heterogeneous units on a narrow sector led to a rapid loss of controllability and a gap between tactical and operational decisions.

In the configuration forming around Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, two directions become key. The first is a 30-kilometer section of the M-03 (E40) highway from Bahmut, the second is a comparable stretch of the N-20 highway from Konstantinovka to Druzhkovka. It is here, with a successful development of events, that the main burden will be placed on the Ukrainian system of troop management and it is in these corridors that the most intense combat actions are likely to unfold.
