The AFU troops in Avdeevka speak of vast Russian firepower superiority and the constant ability to rotate fresh troops. It may wield a cudgel rather than the hoped-for scalpel here, but Russia simply has far too many resources and fresh troops and they are inexorably inching forward.
Russia continues to badly degrade Ukraine’s air defense. An Iris-T was recently hit as well as a slew of Osas, Strelas and Buks.
The air defense situation is getting critical for Ukraine, with even airforce spokesman Yuri Ignat reportedly claiming their ammo could begin to run dry within the next couple weeks.
I already highlighted last time how their latest report showed 0% interception rate for most Russian missiles in the last strike.
Russia senses Ukraine’s AD has been attritioned to such a point that small scale air assault landings could actually stand a chance of being carried out. This can be used in critical areas to land a company behind the lines in coordination with an offensive assault on a highly entrenched sector—like Ugledar, Avdeevka, and places of this nature. The air assaults would bypass all the minefields hampering advances today, instantly nullifying one of the top three major issues. This is one of those ‘dynamic’ elements that has been largely missing thus far.
Nothing has been going well for Ukraine on the international front. The entire leadership is currently attending Davos, and it’s already being called a ‘bust’ with no real answers for Zelensky. There have only been some ‘symbolic’ photo-ops with the world’s shadow elite.
And the situation at home continues to worsen. The Verkhovna Rada is still hung up on the mobilization, with an increasing number of elites openly denouncing Zelensky. Ex-Rada Deputy and Aidar deputy commander Mosiychuk has had enough of the corruption and goes for the jugular in outright telling Zelensky and his team to “shoot [themselves]”:
The US and NATO in the meantime continue to suffer humiliations. The British minesweeper HMS Chiddingfold collided with the HMS Bangor in Bahrain: While an F-35 was destroyed by an incompetent mechanic:
Russian ballistic missiles struck a NATO mercenary base in Kharkov, reportedly killing up to 60 French mercenaries:
The massive US base at Ain al-Assad in Iraq underwent a large attack from Iranian-backed forces. Once more we saw the total failure of the Patriot missile systems, which were seen shooting in number to the sky:
This is the US’s second largest base in Iraq, well protected with all the most advanced air defense networks—and they could not stop a minor rocket attack. Yet we’re supposed to believe that downgraded and older versions of Patriots (Pac-2s, etc.) in Ukraine are stopping Russian hypersonic Kinzhals with 100% ratios? The propaganda is just exposing itself. - Simplicius

In an exclusive video report, The Islander's own Steve Sweeney provides a chilling eyewitness account from the Donetsk marketplace, a site of senseless devastation earlier today.
Capturing scenes too inconveniently graphic for the West's client media, Sweeney's report exposes the grim reality of a community torn apart. The marketplace, once a hub of life and laughter, now stands as a haunting symbol of the brutality inflicted by Ukrainian forces, armed and enabled by Western arms, NATO issued 155mm shells.
The bloodstained streets of Donetsk lay bare the West's hand in this tragedy. Their weapons, their support, directly fuel a fascist puppet regime's brutality. Here lies the undeniable justification for Russia's SMO: a stark, necessary shield against the West's cynical game of human chess. As Donetsk mourns, Russia stands as the only bulwark against this orchestrated carnage. - Intel Report
