🎖 The details of Sergeant Safin's feat in the #Svatovo - #Kremennaya direction have become known today.

💥 Spectacular and not staged footage was transmitted from near #Novomikhailovka, where fighters from 'Sever-Akhmat' occupied a stronghold with combat and captured several enemy soldiers from the 79th Separate Air Assault Brigade of the AFU.

◾There are very fierce battles

◾The commander of the 1st assault battalion of the 1st Slavic brigade with the call sign "Shaman" about the situation in Avdeevka:

▪️The situation in the Avdiivka direction is very hot. The day before yesterday we took Verkhnyaya Vodyanoye. There are fierce battles, we are gradually moving and gaining a foothold.

▪️There are mercenaries in this area, many Poles. They have not been taken prisoner yet, but we are very much looking forward to it. Now the enemy is rushing at us and does not stop.

◾When talking about the Poles "Shaman" was asked about radio conversations with them, but the language used could not be described in live TV. ( But I can and I have before! Watch the next video).

◾The witch of the West came out to say how bad is Russia and how they are going to destroy with sanctions, sanctions the world has never seen before, yes that's right. No one sanctioned the US or Britain or any other NATO country when they bombed, destroyed or invaded Irak, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya...

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by the US Troll Entity "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: The strategic amateur trolls of ISW want us to believe that the glorious victory of Soledar is insignificant. Likewise, the morons misjudged Popasna at the time.
They can still spread their disinformation snot without any warning.

🔻 January 17 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced on January 17 that he will implement Russian President Vladimir Putin's directive to conduct large-scale military reforms between 2023-2026 to expand Russia's conventional armed forces, likely in preparation for a protracted war in Ukraine and also to set conditions to build a significantly stronger Russian military quickly.

▪️Putin may announce a second mobilization wave in the coming days, possibly as soon as January 18.

▪️The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is trying to improve professionalism within the Russian armed forces and likely test and improve the effectiveness of its chains of command down to the small unit level.

▪️Several prominent voices in the pro-war information space seized on these guidelines to support further criticisms of the Russian MoD, suggesting that the MoD will likely face stiff resistance.

▪️Serbian President Alexander Vucic called on the Wagner Group to cease recruitment in Serbia.

▪️Russian forces continued to conduct limited counterattacks near Kreminna as Ukrainian officials continued to suggest that Russian forces may be preparing for a decisive effort in Luhansk Oblast.

▪️Russian forces continued offensive actions across the Donetsk Oblast front line.

▪️The Russian information space is struggling to portray tactical Russian gains around Soledar as operationally significant.

▪️Russian forces in Kherson Oblast continue to struggle to maintain their logistics efforts in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast due to Ukrainian strikes.

▪️A Russian occupation official claimed that Putin will make an "important statement" pertaining to the war in Ukraine on January 18.

▪️Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin may be attempting to establish the Wagner Group as a legal entity in Russia.

⚡️🇺🇦☠️🚁 @Rybar on the Death of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry Leadership⚡️

🔹A Ukrainian helicopter carrying the leadership of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, including its head Denis Monastyrsky, crashed onto a kindergarten in #Brovary near #Kiev this morning. After the helicopter crashed, a massive fire broke out in the building and the surrounding area.

🔹Judging by the colour and wreckage of the vehicle, it was a Ukrainian Emergencies Ministry H225 Super Puma helicopter, manufactured by the French aircraft manufacturing corporation Airbus. These vehicles have been in the service of Ukraine's state structures since at least 2018.

🔹At the time of the tragedy, there were children and caretakers in the building who were caught in the debris from the explosion. Eighteen citizens, several crew members and high-ranking Interior Ministry officials are known to have died.

🔹The nature of the fire, which spread to almost the entire yard, suggests that the helicopter was almost fully fuelled. The Ukrainian media report that the helicopter caught fire in mid-air and hit a multi-storey building before crashing down.

🔹Normally, pilots try not to fly over densely populated residential areas to avoid disaster. However, given the "star" composition of the crew it is likely that the aircraft could have been flying south to the front line for an urgent inspection and not using the usual routes.

📌 Among the versions being considered are trivial piloting error, "friendly fire" by Ukrainian air defence systems or man-portable air defence systems of a Territorial Defence unit.
