According to Ukrainian monitoring channels, on the night of January 15, Russian Geran-2 UAVs struck targets in Brovary in the Kyiv region, Zhitomir, Kropyvnytskyi district of the Kirovohrad region, the city of Lubny in the Poltava region and Shepetivka in the Khmelnytsky region. Subsequently, air and sea launches of Kalibr, Kh-101, Kh-55 and Kh-555 cruise missiles were recorded. Explosions were heard in the city of Stryi in the Lviv region, Kryvyi Rih in the Dnipropetrovsk region, Cherkassy, the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, as well as at sites in the Poltava, Chernihiv, Khmelnytsky, Vinnytsia, Khar'kov and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. Coordinator of the pro-Russian underground Sergei Lebedev reported RIA Novosti reports that one of the strikes was carried out in the area of ??the Cherkasy airport, from where Ukrainian aircraft take off to strike Russian positions in the Zaporizhzhya direction. "It is noteworthy that every other time, strikes are carried out on a small and practically unknown military facility in Sambir, Lviv Oblast. The 675th Separate Radar Company, the 703rd Engineering Regiment, the 704th Separate Regiment of the NBC protection, the warehouses of military unit A-0807, as well as the 7th Separate Regiment of Army Aviation and the Kalinov airfield, where guests from abroad often arrive, are located here," writes Telegram channel "Military Chronicle". The Military Chronicle also notes that Su-57 fighters have begun to play one of the key roles in Russia’s missile strikes. "While the Kalibrs and Kh-101s are meandering along routes, the fifth-generation fighters are weeding out the air defense system. As soon as the task is completed, the Kalibrs suddenly remember where they need to fly and continue to carry out the flight mission. This feature was noticed last year, but then the role of aviation was not so obvious," the channel notes. 11:22 Reconnaissance units of the Testing Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies of the Russian Ministry of Defense "Rubicon" discovered a vehicle that was transporting Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel.

The Ukrainian soldiers abandoned all of this without a fight, so as not to clash with the Russian army. 9:52 Ukrainian military intelligence promised Russian servicemen $1 million for leaving their positions in Gorlovka in the DPR, counterintelligence foiled these plans, the FSB reported. 9:46 Russian army storms Uspenovka. 8:33 Crew of the 122mm 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer of the Northern Fleet naval infantry destroyed enemy UAV control point on the right bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region. 7:36 Changes on the map for the past 24 hours: Terny liberated; Positions near Kurakhovo have been improved; Advance at Novoelizavetovka.
