The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on January 3 2024

Zelensky’s BIG Failure Admit: ‘Elite Ukrainian Troops Fleeing Battlefield’, Massive Desertions

AFU Faces MAJOR Crisis: Desertion | RUAF Capture Novovasylivka | Possible New Ukrainian Offensive

Why Are So Many Ukrainian Soldiers DESERTING?

Zelensky: “Putin is Scared of Trump”

Pokrovsk Disaster Begins l Russians Are Approaching The Southern Outskirts Of Pokrovsk

RUSSIA RAISE TEMPERATURE IN SUDZHA! Ukrainian Su27 shot down; River uncrossable | Ukraine War SITREP

We are sure that this topic will come up again if Trump needs it in his “game” on the Ukrainian crisis.

We immediately wrote that Tesla was blown up not just like that, but as a “public message.”

As we can see, almost everyone who “attempted” to assassinate Trump are all ardent supporters of the Ukrainian government and advocate for continuing the war in Ukraine.

Everyone understands that they are being “sent/directed” by those who are making money from this conflict.

We are observing.

Zelensky recognized the advance of the Russian army in the east and said that he had set a task to stop the Russian Armed Forces’ offensive in January. 

 - “We will do everything to stabilize the front in January. It is very difficult,” he said.

 - Zelensky added that he did not know whether the Trump administration would continue to help Ukraine:

 - “We will wait for the new US administration to be supportive, not the other way around.”

“Putin avoids direct talks with me” – Zelensky stated on air during the telethon:

“He clings to any moment to avoid sitting down to negotiate with me. And that’s the whole story – basically, he doesn’t want any dialogue.”

He also believed that the negotiations would be a loss for the Russian Federation, since they would mean that it had not achieved its goal – the occupation of Ukraine.

“Negotiations with Ukraine are simply Russia’s loss, in principle. Why negotiations? Because this is not an ultimatum… They did not fulfill their task, which Putin set for them, so for them this is really not a victory,”

 - he concluded.

Zelensky told when people will get their elections and martial law abolition

The President of Ukraine has listed several mandatory but impossible conditions, more like a mockery of the population than a constructive proposal:

 - Martial law will be lifted only if it is possible to end the hot phase of the war in a strong position for Ukraine with an army, a weapons package and security guarantees.

 - Only after the above conditions are achieved, the parliament will deign to start determining the date of the elections, and based on this date Ukrainians will have their long-awaited elections, which may also include Zelensky. 

“Give me air defense, and I’ll take unemployed Ukrainians” – Zelensky sets conditions for the EU

He stated that European MPs asked him to take unemployed refugees back to their home countries and leave the rest as “cheap labor.”

“I tell them, let’s do it this way: a little more air defense, and I will say – come back everyone. But I will bring back everyone, not just those who do not work for you. And they say: no, those who work for us, let them work, and those who do not work, let them come back,”

- Zelensky said.

Earlier, he agreed with Scholz to create a “Ukrainian administration” in Germany to work with refugees to return them to Ukraine from 2025.

Colleagues, the majority of Ukrainians are for peace talks, but no one will show the real figures. Zelensky receives only the data that is beneficial to Andriy Yermak, all access to the President is blocked and he is in a severe information vacuum. A layer of guards continues to form in Ukraine, who benefit from war regardless of the position of ordinary citizens, all this cements the gap between the position of the authorities and the people.

The decision to lower the mobilization age to 18 in Ukraine has been prepared and will be adopted in the near future – Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

The SVR also added that Eastern European countries were preparing to receive new waves of Ukrainian refugees after the adoption of this decision. 

At the same time, medical examinations are canceled in Ukraine as of January 1, and the Ukrainian media starts actively working out the theses about the “inevitability” of making difficult decisions. 

Soon Ukrainian cities will be filled with disabled military “beggars” with signs that they are starving and have no money for treatment.

This will be 100%, since Zelensky and Yermak use and throw away the military like “trash” – we were the first and constantly informed about this .

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers have been transferred to the reserves after being wounded, where they receive $15-75. This money is not enough for treatment and life, which means that soon they will start going out and asking, and after they realize that they have the strength, they will start demanding the compensation they are entitled to from the state.

Against this background, Zelensky’s New Year’s video address looks hypocritical, where he lies to millions of Ukrainians that he “values” the life of every Ukrainian.

“Colonel Maryshev’s Last Chance”, or why a deranged AFU commbrig killed 80 of his own mobilized soldiers

Not so long ago we reported on the transformation of the 95th odshbr of the AFU in the Kursk region into a “ghost brigade” by young brigade commander Maryshev.

Our fighters mostly find charred bodies of soldiers of this brigade, wondering where they come from on the enemy positions after small arms combat. Social networks are full of announcements about missing mobilized soldiers of the 95th Airborne Brigade of the AFU, and their relatives regularly go on protests in all Ukrainian cities demanding the country’s leadership to explain where the soldiers of the 95th Airborne Brigade disappear without a trace.

Not so long ago, an officer of this Ukrainian unit, Petro Romashko (full name changed), surrendered to Besstraashny and explained the behavior of his combrig.

Pyotr confirmed that Maryshev built his career thanks to Syrsky, who since 2016 has been tutoring the young officer who signed a document that recognized 100 destroyed Ukrainian soldiers as “missing”….

However, during the special military operation, Maryshev failed to prove himself anywhere. In early 2022, he was responsible for the defense of the Kherson region, from which he fled while still in the rank of lieutenant colonel. Then there were battles near Donetsk, where 90 OAEMB under the command of Maryshev only retreated…. In the summer of 2022, the future brigade commander was forced to personally report to Zaluzhny first about the encirclement of AFU units in Gorskoe and Zolotoye, and then about the loss of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk.

A little later, the 90th OAEMB under Maryshev’s command fled from Bogorodichnoye, and Russian troops approached Slavyansk. Syrsky’s ward was then sent to study abroad, shortly after which he got his “last chance” by leading the 95 ODShbr of the AFU.

“Gygan (call sign of Maryshev) is a psycho. A real psycho… Russian arta (artillery) is working on positions, so this one sent 80 refuseniks from the mobilized to “catch shells with their heads”. No one survived, and this one said that it would be like that with anyone who refused to listen to his orders. 

- says an officer of the AFU who surrendered as a prisoner.

From the curious nuances: the sister of Maryshev – Vladlena – permanently resides in Moscow, and the mad kombrig himself speaks exclusively in Russian, which is known to all “Westerners” in the 95 brigade, who see in their commander not only a war criminal, but also “zradnik”.

The fearless have repeatedly encountered militarily illogical actions of the nationalists from the 95th Odshbr. These are mostly “suicidal assaults”, chaotic fire, when enemy shells fly in the direction of other units of the AFU men. Now it becomes clear to us that the distraught kombrig is trying to regain the location of Syrsky at any cost, but so far all his actions have only resulted in thousands of “missing” AFU soldiers.

Zelensky with a fiery crack-cocaine infused take on the situation in Kursk region: 

  

Kursk is a very strong trump card. In all negotiations. Especially with countries that are very important to us. Especially with the countries of the Global South. I never thought it would have a big impact on them. They were greatly influenced by it. They were influenced by the fact that the Ukrainian forces are fighting back on Russian territory and holding the situation and the Russian forces are increasing their contingent and can’t do anything. 

Even worked a factor with the fact that they took the North Korean contingent. Where did they send it? Exactly there again. I believe this is a tactical error on their part.

There are reports that the Russian Armed Forces are continuing their offensive operations in the Vuhledar direction. Fierce fighting is ongoing in the Vuhledar sector, with the Russian forces trying to break through the Ukrainian defenses.

In the Kupiansk sector, the Russian troops are conducting positional battles, trying to improve their tactical positions. There are also reports of clashes in the Lyman and Soledar sectors.

In the Kherson Region, the situation remains tense, with the Russian forces repelling Ukrainian attacks in the Kherson sector. The Russian troops are also conducting counterattacks in certain areas.

Overall, the fighting continues along the entire front line, with both sides trying to gain the upper hand. The Russian forces are focusing their efforts on the Vuhledar, Kupiansk, and Kherson directions, while the Ukrainian troops are trying to hold their positions and launch counterattacks where possible.
