Situation in Ukraine
It has been 813 days since Russia invaded Kyiv.
Now,
here is the war situation in each region.
We will focus on the areas where the war situation has changed.
You can follow the changes with the date if you use the full screen view on the big screen.
Northeast,
toward Harkiv
It has been six days since the Russians invaded along the border in Harkiv.
The weather in Harkiv is cloudy.
The minimum temperature is 7 degrees Celsius and the maximum is 16 degrees Celsius.
The weather forecast for today is also cloudy.
The Russian military launched the invasion with infantry,
incurring massive losses,
at a time when military support from the Western powers had stalled and before the Ukrainian mobilization began.
They are still incurring heavy losses and attempting to expand the occupied territories,
albeit at a slower pace.
Lipsi direction
In this direction,
the Russians are attacking mainly in Hlyboke.
1st.
According to the video with location information,
the Russian army raised a Russian flag indicating its occupation in the center of Hlyboke,
and the Ukrainian army destroyed it with a drone,
confirming that this location is the front line.
The one shown is of the 42nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army,
which is observing the flag.
2nd.
In a residential area near the pond to the west of the area,
Ukrainian troops surround a house with Russian troops,
and there is a video of Ukrainian soldiers tending to the wounded Russian soldier who surrendered,
which has become a hot topic on the Internet.
According to the battle map,
Russian troops may have occupied residential areas south of Hlyboke,
but it is not clear,
so there is no change to the battle map at this time.
Bovtyansk area
In Bovtyansk,
the Russians are attacking from factories northwest of the city center and from the northern outskirts.
The Russians are advancing in small infantry units,
and even when they do join forces,
they are doing so after attacking to increase their combat capability without regard for losses.
Meanwhile,
Ukrainian military spokesman Likhovy said that Ukrainian forces have moved to more advantageous positions near Bovtyansk and reported that they have withdrawn from some locations,
but it is unclear exactly which.
On the other hand,
some sources report that the Ukrainian army has withdrawn from Bovtyansk with this information,
and an information war is in full swing.
1st.
Did the Russians attempt to surround Bovtyansk?
They tried to advance on Sinelnikove along the Donets River,
which flows to the west of the town,
but this was discovered by the Ukrainian garrison and the attempt was unsuccessful.
2nd.
From the factory in the northwest to the center of the town,
there was heavy ground fighting,
and the video with location information shows that two Russian tanks were repulsed at the meatpacking plant,
making this location the front line.
What we are showing you is a view of one of them,
a Russian T72.
Russian troops are also reportedly shelling public buildings in the center of the city,
and a high-rise apartment building was reportedly set on fire.
3rd.
At Chikhne,
east of Bovtyansk,
a video with location information shows that Russian troops are throwing hot-air bombs,
confirming that this location is a defensive point for the Ukrainian military.
This location was disputed,
but the extent of the disputed territory has been reduced to the area controlled by the Ukrainian military.
We have information that Russian forces have advanced in this area on the eastern outskirts of Vovchansk,
and information that they have not,
so for now we will leave the battle map as it is and update it when we have more information to confirm.
In the end,
no significant Russian advance was confirmed in this direction either,
and there were no changes to the battle map.
Northeast: Toward Luhansk Oblast
Eastern part,
toward Bakhmut
The following is a report on the war situation on the Svatove-Kreminna line,
from the area around Siversk to the area of Bakhmut.
In this area,
the Russians attacked eight times in the Kupyansk sector,
once along the Svatove-Kreminna line,
and five times around Sivelsk,
but there is no information on any change in the battle map.
Southeast Donetsk Oblast.
The following is an update on the war situation in the areas of Avdiivka,
Marinka,
and Vuhledar.
Avdiivka
Marinka area
The Russian offensive slowed down considerably in this sector,
with at least three attacks in Avdiivka and at least one attack in Marinka,
all of which were repulsed by the Ukrainian forces,
with no information available to affect the battle map.
Bukhredar Area
In this area,
Russian forces attacked Urozyne with more than 20 rockets,
as far as can be confirmed,
and then launched a ground assault.
According to positional video,
there is information that Russian tanks were destroyed in the mapped area,
and Russian forces may have moved the front line back to where it was before the Ukrainian advance on May 7,
slightly reducing the Ukrainian recapture area and updating the battle map.
Rear areas.
Explosions have been observed in Henichesk,
Saki,
Simferopol,
Belbek,
and Sevastopol in the Crimea.
What we are showing you is the situation in Belbek,
which is a separate video from the first news report.
Southern Province of Zaporizhia
South,
Province of Kherson.
In this area,
Russian forces conducted two attacks in Robotyne and three attacks in Krinky.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced that Robotyne was completely overrun,
but Ukrainian military spokesman Pletenchuk denied this.
Video footage with location information shows Ukrainian troops conducting drone strikes on Russian positions at the location shown on the map south of the town,
which does not change the battle map and appears to be propaganda information intended to demoralize the Ukrainian military.
More
Please watch the end of the video for a look at Bovtyansk,
which is in the midst of a fierce battle today. Bovtyansk is the center of this neighborhood,
with a population of 17,000 in 2022.
Russian and Ukrainian troops are fighting in these places.
Thank you for watching.
First,
a general matter.
According to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
Russian losses were 1,520 soldiers
19 tanks
30 armored fighting vehicles
27 artillery guns
13 drones
1 cruise missile
94 other vehicles.
The entire front reported 141 ground battles in one day.
The ground fighting has intensified as the Russians post numerous daily losses of soldiers in the wake of the Harkiv invasion.
And the ratio of the number of losses of Ukrainian equipment to Russian losses,
which can be visually confirmed,
is 1 to 1.7,
compared to the number of losses on the Ukrainian side.
Losses on the Russian side are dominated by tanks,
civilian trucks,
and artillery,
while losses on the Ukrainian side are notable for artillery and communications equipment.
As we reported yesterday,
we can see that the Russians are sending soldiers to the front lines and using drones to find and destroy guns that pose a threat to their infantry.
This is a brief news report on the situation in Ukraine.

1st.
Slovak PM Fico,
who is well known for his pro-Russian views within the EU and NATO along with PM Orban,
came under fire and was shot 5 times in the abdomen and chest.
In the video,
PM Fico can be seen being carried in a limousine surrounded by several SPs.
PM Fico was taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital where he underwent several hours of surgery.
According to Deputy PM Taraba,
his condition has stabilized.
The perpetrator was quickly subdued,
a 71-year-old writer who was reportedly dissatisfied with the policies of the current government.
Second.
A performer on a propaganda program on Russian state television appealed to "Russian soldiers to commit suicide for their country instead of waiting to be hit by drones."
The details of this person are unknown,
but the program stated,
"Life is treated too dearly. To commit suicide on the battlefield is service to one's country."
3rd.
Secretary of State Blinken,
visiting Kyiv,
announced $2 billion in military aid and said that the U.S. does not encourage or permit attacks outside of Ukraine on Russian territory with Western weapons,
but that ultimately Ukraine must decide what to do. could decide to attack inside Russia with Western weapons,
he said.
4th.
At around 2:00 a.m. on January 15,
the Ukrainian military attacked the Belbek airbase in Crimea with ATACMS,
and the Russian Defense Ministry,
as usual,
lied to the public domestically about having intercepted 10 missiles,
but the post-attack images were released.
The images show that the 92N2E radar and missile launcher of the S400 air defense system were destroyed.
In Crimea,
the Jankoy military airfield was also attacked by ATACMS on April 17,
and the S400 was destroyed.
We also have information from Russia that a number of Ukrainian military Magra water drones are currently en route to Crimea.
