The Russian army suddenly achieved tactical success in Ukraine’s Sumy region. The 34th Brigade of the Sever military group captured the village of Vysokoye with virtually no resistance. The Ukrainian units in the area had extremely low discipline. There was no security or defense of positions. Russian reconnaissance drones regularly observed Ukrainian soldiers and local residents drinking alcohol together. Once the Russian offensive began, Ukrainian troops abandoned their positions without fighting.
Unexpectedly, a minor tactical crisis is at risk of escalating into a major operational one. The Ukrainian defenses in this sector may begin to collapse like dominoes. Earlier, the Ukrainian command used the opportunity that this section of the front was calm to withdraw all reserves from there.
In the Ukrainian army, assault regiments perform the function of ‘fire brigades’. They are deployed to areas where the Russian army has broken through, as has happened in Kupyansk and Gulyaipole. The Ukrainian command will not withdraw them from these areas. Therefore, an increase in the pace of the Russian offensive in the Sumy region can be expected.
Volchansk, which was previously captured, has become an important logistics hub for the Russian army. The offensive from the city is advancing in two directions: southeast and southwest. On December 21, there was heavy fighting reported in the western part of Volchanskiye Khutora.
The following day, the village of Vilcha, southwest of Volchansk, was cleared. Thus, Russian troops have now reached operational space.
According to reports from December 22, fighting for the town of Konstantinovka on the Slavyansk section of the front has significantly intensified. The Russian army is putting pressure on several fronts. Tactical successes have been noted to the west and east of the Kleban-Byk reservoir. Additionally, Russian units have advanced on the southeastern part of the city.
The elimination of isolated pockets of Ukrainian resistance in Mirnograd is coming to an end. Once the city is cleared, a large group of Russian troops will be able to advance further west. This is why, on December 21, two additional Ukrainian brigades were transferred to the Pokrovsk area: the 35th Marine Brigade and the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade.
Heavy fighting continues in Gulyaipole. The Russian Vostok group of forces has captured nearly all of the eastern part of the city. Further north, in areas where the Ukrainian defense line has been breached, there are heavy counterattacks underway.
A third crisis point has been added to the existing ones in Kupyansk and Gulyaipole, this one in the Sumy region. The question remains: Where will the Ukrainian command get the reserves to stop the Russian army’s breakthrough?

there is another front in this war. it is control of the ai algorithm that is diminishing human cognitive ability to analyze and critically think. what mindsets western propaganda media has created globally is just the beginning
this will assemble enemies of russia and other targeted nations at will. this can be also done internally to nations where conquest is desired. leading human creativity and innovation into bridled control. the race is on !
for goodness sake nothings done by accident or without intention. nothing. it’s all an operation.
russias only got one enemy really.. its never had many enemies except for its pretend friends as in life.
school does it that’s where mind control programmings enforced. they’re unelected and they work almost secretly.
exactly. russia have become a mirror of “us”. exposed for the same thing as korea, vietnam and yoguslavia, they try to give legitimacy to the root causes 😂 its more like they are south korea, south vietnam, or whats the name of the tool in the balkans ? such a soup there 😂
russias been westernised for the last century and a half almost. everyone educated spoke english, got their clothes from paris read literature from england france and russia even tsar nicholas s slave jim an african, went to the states for his holidays… he loved america.
how in hell can the instigator and financier of a war, also become the “peace broker” ? because he blame it on europe ? then i think russia should work for to postumt give the norwegian child killers price to adolf hitler rothschild, another blamer. very good at that, actually.
“cannibalism is rife in the russian army.” (uk daily express, 21 dec.) russian troops are so short of food that they are regularly eating one another. this has been confirmed by bbc fact checkers, so it must be true.
that americans are so stupid to believe their media tell you everything
no one listens to the news they lie. everyone’s hated the news for years since the 90s here even the news readers resigned in disgust.
