🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has changed its tactics of attacking Ukrainian energy compared to the winter of 2022-2023, writes the Financial Times.

The differences are as follows:

- if then the main target was distribution stations and transformers, now - power plants in specific regions, less protected than Kiev.

- the strikes are carried out by high-precision missiles and in such a way that it was impossible to restore the stations by next winter. This may take several years. "The obvious goal now is permanent, irreparable damage," the article says.

-the same number of missiles that were used during the previous campaign are now aimed at five to six energy facilities in one region

- in this way, the Russians are trying to disconnect large industrial areas and cities from power supplies.

- drones are also used for energy attacks - as a cheaper way to hit other parts of the energy system, for example, transformers.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel ends the active phase of the operation in the Gaza Strip and withdraws almost all its troops from there - The Jerusalem Post

Only the 933rd Nahal Infantry Brigade will remain on the territory of the Palestinian enclave, which will guard the conditional “Netzarim corridor” - the demarcation line from the Gaza border with Israel to the Mediterranean coast, cutting the enclave in two.

In this regard, the previously announced IDF operation to storm the city of Rafah in southern Gaza is being postponed, which the US authorities demanded from Israel, threatening serious consequences. Apparently, the Israeli leadership, directly dependent on US military assistance, was forced to agree to American demands to suspend the war.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The American Military Watch Magazine was concerned about Russian ODAB-500 bombs with thermobaric warheads.

The use of thermobaric glide bombs provided Russian forces with an even greater advantage over the Ukrainian Armed Forces in firepower. Thanks to these weapons, Su-34 missions have become even more deadly. Such warheads are well suited for neutralizing heavily fortified enemy positions: they disperse a cloud of gas into the air, which is then detonated using vacuum explosives, creating a high-pressure shock wave.

The widespread use of glide bombs has increasingly alarmed Western and Ukrainian sources: in January 2024, several Ukrainian military personnel told the NYT that the use of these bombs would provide Russian strikes with “additional destructive power,” as the 500-kilogram shell would destroy even underground bunkers.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 “If in our small village there are so many dead and missing, then what about all over Ukraine.”

The Deutsche Welle channel posted a video in which the village head of the village of Luzanovka (Cherkasy region) says that there are no men in the village. There is no one to even dig a hole for the dead or deceased. Before the war, 400 people lived in the village. 50 were mobilized.

There are old people, women and... although no, there are almost no children left.

Also, according to a resident from whom Zelensky took both sons to the front, the number of dead and missing (count dead) men from the village is enormous:

“If in our small village there are so many dead and missing, then what about all over Ukraine.”

In neighboring villages... the same thing...

Our military has gained a foothold on the eastern outskirts of the city and is now expanding the bridgehead for entry. The enemy is having a very hard time in this direction. But this does not prevent the leadership of the “Kiev regime” from irrevocably driving hundreds of its people into this hell every day.
