In Kupyansk, there's no front line as such, only "firefighting." Ukrainian soldiers are hunting Russian infiltrators who have seeped into the city center. It's a chaotic urban battle where the enemy can be anywhere, turning the defense into a constant struggle for control.

From empty to enemy-held: A day in the fight to save Ukraine's Kupyansk from Russian reoccupation

Russians have drawn closer to the reoccupation of Kupyansk in Kharkiv Oblast. There is no stable line of demarcation in the city — the enemy is seeping through all the way to the southern outskirts.…

Devastating to hear that this little girl has not died in hospital. Another child murdered by Russia.
Four adults were also injured in the attack.

23 residential buildings were damaged in Vinnytsia, including a two-storey building where 21 people lived.

Trump has his facts wrong. The Pentagon is NOT responsible for nuclear weapons testing, that is the National Nuclear Security Administration of the Department of Energy. Other nations are NOT conducting nuclear weapon tests. The US does NOT have more nuclear weapons than anyone, that is Russia.

Es wurden Raketen vom Typ Kh-101, Kalibr, Kinzhal und wahrscheinlich Iskander-K sowie Hunderte von Shahed- und Täusch-UAVs eingesetzt.

Hauptziel des Angriffs waren die Energieinfrastrukturen der Regionen Vinnyzja, Iwano-Frankiwsk, Lviv, Saporischschja, Donezk und Poltawa.

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S.

Pentagon Orders National Guard to Establish Quick Reaction Forces for Civil Unrest, Riots

The riot control units are a major shift, underscoring the Trump administration’s push to directly involve the military in responding to demonstrations and other domestic missions.

We’ve been warned
about a possible missile attack tonight.

I checked that everything is charged

No.
I’m not scared.

Di fatto la logistica tra Pokrosvk e Mirnhorad è quasi interrotta da tempo, e anche le linee posteriori sono bersagliate. La situazione è, per usare un eufemismo, molto difficile.

Russia is the world’s largest terrorist organization, Zelensky said after a Russian strike hit a children’s hospital in Kherson. The attack injured medical staff and young patients, including an eight-year-old boy. “Russia deliberately targets civilians and undermines every effort to end this war.”

#Pokrovsk today Deep State wrote a long post about the situation in the city. I don't think I need to convince anyone that the DS is the most reliable source, so I'll try to translate this post in full: "The enemy continues to infiltrate the city, gradually absorbing it with its own personnel.

As a result, instead of a front line, we have a gray zone or a death zone, whose ownership is unknown. Sometimes it's several kilometers wide, a dozen kilometers wide, or even 20 kilometers wide."
This tactic seems to have been effective in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.

The RU are trying to occupy these areas. They enter in groups of two or three soldiers. They often disguise themselves in civilian clothes. Once a group of a dozen or so soldiers has gathered, they begin sabotage operations—they try to organize ambushes, and attack the positions of drone pilots.2/3

Das 7. Korps der Luftlandestreitkräfte der ZSU mit einer kurzen Information zur Lage in Pokrovsk.

Gemäss Beobachterkanälen ist die Lage in der Stadt selber kritisch, da es den russischen Horden gelungen ist, die Stadt - mehr oder weniger tief - mit vielen kleinen Gruppen zu infiltrieren.
