59. In addition to new lost RU vehicles on route of destroyed Rosgvardia column in tweet 57-8, some previously abandoned may now be captured as UAF now seem in control (2 films in link). Corresponds to reports of a UAF advance to east of Kharkiv last week.

46. In twt 30-33 we saw losses of 2nd Gds Motor Rifle Div in Sumy Obl. Here 2 more abandoned T-72B3M at 50.787116, 35.222078 h/t @azyakancokkacan+@khalfaguliyev. IMO from same unit as other B3M unit in area has clear unit symbols + is without ERA side bags

#Ukraine: The Russian Army lost 2 more T-72B3(M), with location so far unknown to us.

Note that once again the HMG have been stripped, probably for local use. https://t.co/TowZw5MMDm

I think the question is whether they can take Kyiv before there is a domestic backlash to casualties and economic disruptions. Putin clearly wants to take Kyiv before conducting serious negotiations, but it isn't clear Russia can do so fast enough, especially if Kharkiv holds out

@jaylyall_red5:
I don't see how Russia has enough troops to encircle Kyiv effectively, lock down the other major cities, and fight an insurgency all at once. It has no operational reserves, Belarus and CSTO states aren't coming, & mass mobilization of reserves is politically risky (+low quality)

I think Moscow underestimated the amount of resistance they would face, the casualties they would sustain, the amount of time this would take, the response from foreign governments and corporations, and how much their soldiers would need to be informed of what they were doing. 2/

02:15 (Minsk time). A fighter took off from the airfield in Baranavichy.

The irony is that Russian officials have long (correctly) thought the US was crazy for invading Iraq. And Putin has a fairly successful record in employing military force, but he decided to pursue maximalist political objectives this time based on poor assumptions. 3/

@alin_baraitaru Agreed, @Nrg8000 's map is very good, and I think it gives a better indication of control.

@jaylyall_red5 And the farther the Russian military moves into Ukraine, the more extended its supply lines become.

RT @IKoshiw: Kyivans are posting their last photos of peaceful Kyiv on Instagram. Here's a throwback that my parents just sent me from 2000 taken in Kyiv's Botanical Garden.

Thinking about the children I saw crying at Kyiv's main station and sad that they can't enjoy this winter at home. https://twitter.com/IKoshiw/status/1500161070941540353/photo/1

RT @Viaches50993743: Тероборона Чернігова попиздила знову русню сьогодні і захопила «аналогов нет» ТОР М-2. Іншу техніку орків просто покрошили. До цього ТОРи вже захоплювали тероборони Сумщини та Миколаївщини. https://twitter.com/Viaches50993743/status/1500243167999889411/photo/1

What looks like an Uragan MLRS 9M27K-series rocket booster hit a house in Balabanivka outside of Mikolaiv.
