Russia is "likely" to now be in control most of the salt-mining town of Soledar in Ukraine's east after a months-long battle with Ukrainian forces, the UK's Ministry of Defence says.
Russian troops and the mercenary Wagner Group have made advances in the past four days, the UK says.
Soledar is near Bakhmut, where Ukraine is also locked in a bloody battle. President Zelensky said there was "almost no life" in Soledar, with "no whole walls left". He also said "the whole land near Soledar is covered with the corpses of the occupiers".

Ukrainians training in the US? Who could have predicted that?sMASH wrote:See Ukraine is taking with mohdi concerning peace mediations.
At least he is dojng it from a position of capability after that air base attack.
If us sends that patriot missile system with the military operations teams, it will shift this conflict to another level.
Those sites would be legitimate targets, but would be us troops.
US will have to decide if it will use that as a legitimate reason to enter out right or dress back.
The patriot system is expensive, doesn't work well enough, puts us boots in direct targets.
There is not strategic advantage to sending there.
The only reason to send that there is to create pretext to enter war directly.
Faster this comes to and end, the better for all.

WARSAW, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Poland plans to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine as part of an international coalition, the Polish president said on Wednesday. Kyiv has been requesting heavy military vehicles such as the German-made Leopard 2, which would represent a significant step-up in Western support to Ukraine.
"A company of Leopard tanks will be handed over as part of coalition building," Andrzej Duda said during a visit to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. "We want it to be an international coalition."

Oil PRICE cap, is an oil cap.adnj wrote:
Russia's revenue from fossil fuel exports collapsed in December, according to a new report, significantly hampering President Vladimir Putin's ability to finance the war in Ukraine.
The findings, Ukrainian officials and campaigners say, illustrate the effectiveness of targeting Russia's oil revenue and underscore the urgent need for Western policymakers to ratchet up the financial pressure on Moscow in order to help Kyiv prevail.
Published Wednesday by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, an independent Finnish think tank, the report found the first month of the European Union's ban on seaborne imports of Russian crude and the G-7's price cap had cost Moscow an estimated 160 million euros ($171.8 million) per day.
CREA's report said the Western measures were largely responsible for a 17% fall in Russia's earnings from fossil fuel exports in the final month of 2022. It means that Russia — one of the world's top oil producers and exporters — saw revenue from fossil fuel exports slump to its lowest level since Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February.
"The EU's oil ban and the oil price cap have finally kicked in and the impact is as significant as expected," Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at CREA, said in a statement.

If the goal is to orirect Ukrainians, that's not the way. U dint save people by killing people.
They should not have taken that defensive strike.
Negotiate and save what's remaining; continue and end up with nothing.
Ukraine launched the intercept over a civilian area.... It's either it will miss, or it will hit, but fall on the civilians.Dizzy28 wrote:It's a good thing dash cams are ubiquitous in Eastern Europe. The missile came in intact on the building.
Russians take out their inadequacies as a fighting force on civilians as they have been doing since the war began. Third world army with nuclear weapons

How u mean 'even if'?Dizzy28 wrote:Even if Ukraine did try to intercept, a KH 22 missile (what was used by Russia) has a 1,000kg warhead. An intercepted missile broken up into many parts is a better bet for damage control than a 1,000kg warhead slamming into any one area.
But hey Smash say Ukraine hates its own people unless they let these uber large, uber inaccurate missiles fall .
