US sending light armored vehicles to Kiev as its stocks deplete, DPR says
Tracked armored vehicles are currently being replaced with light ones at the Ukrainian Army, as the demand for the former has exceeded the amount Kiev’s Western sponsors have in stock, an officer with the People’s Militia of the Donetsk People’s Republic told TASS.
On January 6, the United States announced the Biden administration’s commitment of over $3 billion in additional military assistance for Ukraine, including 50 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles as well as 55 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles (MRAPs) and 138 High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs).
"This is proof that they simply do not have the ability to supply enough tracked vehicles to make up for Ukrainian losses. Therefore, tracked armored vehicles are currently being replaced with light ones. Of course, the decision is quite logical, for at least something armored is being delivered, while light vehicles are cheaper and more of them are available at warehouses. Well, of course their armor is lighter and they are more vulnerable. Had it been possible to send 500 Bradleys, they would have been delivered, but this option is not physically available," the DPR militia officer explained. This, he said, shows that the Western coalition’s stocks are depleting.

Social media channels report that the 99th Battalion of the 61st Mechanized Brigade (Khmelnitsky Oblast) lost half of its personnel.
According to relatives, before being sent to Artemovsk, the brigade command did not rotate even the sick and injured soldiers and did not provide the personnel with equipment and ammunition.
Ukrainians also urge Zelenskyy and Zaluznyy to think about the withdrawal of troops from the cities of Donbass, which have to be held at a high price.

The Ukrainian soldiers are stationed in a hospital in Bakhmut.
The coordinates of military hospitals are well known to the Russian forces involved in the liberation of Artemovsk (Bakhmut). However, the rules and customs of war are strictly observed(the wounded AFU servicemen are not killed) —the military hospital in this city has never been attacked by the Wagnerites.
The militants of the AFU take advantage of the generosity of the Wagner PMC: in addition to the wounded in the hospital, the absolutely fit and healthy soldiers of the Kiev regime rest comfortably in this safe location before going to their positions.
There is no point in telling the coordinates; they are known.

Arestovich continues to expose not only Ukrainian lies, but Western ones in general. He clearly and clearly wrote that no matter what Ukraine did, none of the Western media would blame it. And he gave one of the examples of how a Ukrainian missile only killed two Poles. Yes, the truth always comes out, even from someone like Arestovich.

Now Ukrainian scoundrels from TsIPSO are spreading the data of Russian pilots who are allegedly involved in missile strikes on Ukraine. But they published everyone who was in their bases. For example, Colonel Beloslyudtsev died in March 2021, a year before the start of the operation in Ukraine, but they also attributed him to today's shelling. Also in the published lists there are a lot of those who have gone to teaching or retired, etc. That's just to throw in, mediocrity, and pretend to be smart, but in fact they themselves staged another evil.

The participants in the assault on Soledar managed to catch the Ukrainian troops by surprise, advancing from the north side. About how it was, RIA Novosti was told by a fighter of the Wagner group, who took part in the liberation of the city.

❗️From Ukrainian TG channels:
🔺It is not excluded that the missile that hit the house in the Dnieper could be Russian, but they still tend to believe that it was a "crooked" air defense system (in the case of a Russian one, the whole house would be carried). In any case, the tragedy is beneficial to Kyiv, since it will give the right to demand more air defense and weapons, help shift the focus from the defeat at Soledar and attract the attention of Western society, showing Russia as the aggressor.
🔺 The weak effectiveness of the air defense is associated with fog and the changed tactics of the airborne forces, which launch a large number of decoys and first work out on the radar and air defense systems, after which they strike at the infrastructure.
🔺 The United States recommends that Zelensky not burn the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and withdraw troops from Bakhmut to advantageous positions.
🔺The Office of the President decided to ban the media from publishing footage of the "trapping" of men and the negative of society regarding mobilization. It is necessary to create the appearance that this is not the case.

The moment of the rocket hitting the residential building in Dnepropetrovsk: a couple of seconds before the explosion, a flash in the sky is visible—the moment the Russian missile (probably)was hit by an air defence missile.

‼️🇬🇧🇺🇦In addition to tanks, the UK is going to send attack helicopters to Ukraine.
The British edition of the Mirror, citing a source from the defense sector, writes that the UK will send not only tanks, but also four attack helicopters equipped with Hellfire missiles to Ukraine.
According to the publication, the Apache AH64 E, the most modern version of these helicopters, will be sent. Each helicopter can be equipped with 16 Hellfire anti-tank rounds, 76 70mm Hydra rockets, and a 30-mm chain gun.
"Apache will be a game changer." The tanks will arrive first, and it will take some time before the helicopters can be deployed. Other NATO members will now follow suit. Russia has thousands of tanks, so more than four Apaches would be needed to deliver a strategic strike. "But from a tactical point of view, this is an important step," the source said.

The total number of deaths in Dnepropetrovsk as a result of a rocket hitting a residential building has reached 20.
The Ukrainian media moved the record to "it doesn't matter - a Russian missile hit or an air defense missile is to blame - in any case, Russia is to blame." As it already happened during the shelling of Poland and other hits on other residential buildings throughout Ukraine.
As shown by the media circus on blood, the victims in Dnepropetrovsk for the Zelensky gang are just another consumable.

American magazine "Military Watch" made a not-so-optimistic forecast regarding Western tanks planned to be delivered to Ukraine.
The German and British Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 tanks, each weighing 65–70 tons, are significantly heavier than those currently in service in Ukraine and are less suited for use on narrow roads or in cities. Because of their size, they will require significantly more fuel and maintenance, as well as new types of 120-mm ammunition, which Ukraine currently does not have.
The publication also recalled that the reputation of Leopard 2 tanks was tarnished in the Syrian conflict, when Turkey used them against the Kurds and Islamic State militants in 2016. At that time, Turkish losses were significant despite a rather poorly armed enemy, and the Turkish military described its experience with these vehicles as "painful."

According to the Operational Command "South", Russia may launch a new massive missile strike in the near future.
According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on January 14, about half of the Kalibr cruise missiles prepared for the strike were fired in the Black Sea. The rest remain on alert, which means they can be used.

Ukrainian journalist and editor-in-chief of Censor.net, Yuri Butusov: "The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost Soledar long ago."
Another "zrada" in Ukraine: no sooner had we forgotten Arestovich, who actually directly blamed the Ukrainian air defence for the Dnepropetrovsk tragedy, than Ukrainian propagandist Butusov reported on his Facebook page that the AFU had long lost control over Soledar.
Note that the liberation of Soledar was reported days ago by the Wagner PMC and the Russian Defense Ministry, but Ukrainian propaganda continued to hold the town on Twitter and Telegram.
