Penguin, way back in 2001 I could not understand why US & Russia would not ally against the caliphate; at that time we (US Russia) were already not equal rivals.
[Kyiv Independent] After an unsuccessful attempt to capture Soledar, Russian troops changed tactics and commenced another major assault, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar reported.
The new assault is expected to be powerful as Russian troops have regrouped and transferred additional units to Soledar.
According to Maliar, Russian troops have also recovered losses by deploying a "large number of assault groups formed from Wagner Group's best reserves."
In a video address on Jan. 8, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Soledar is one of the "bloodies places on the front."
Serhii Cherevatyi, Ukraine's Eastern Military Command spokesman, reported that the city of Soledar, Donetsk Oblast, which has long been a target of Russia's Bakhmut offensive, is "practically destroyed."

“The US government is concerned about the extent to which Wagner PMCs are interfering in the domestic politics of sovereign countries, violating human rights and looting their minerals.

15:11 Kuleba said that military assistance is still not enough: “Ukraine is grateful to partners for their military assistance, but we must remain honest with each other: no one has done enough while Russian boots remain on Ukrainian soil. Arming our country for the sake of victory is the shortest path to the restoration of peace and security in Europe and beyond."
15:06 Today, a full truckload of liquidated Russian soldiers was brought to the Melitopol morgue.

12:46 Peskov called the statement that Russia is proposing to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine according to the Korean scenario, as stated by NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov, a "duck".
12:41 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of North Macedonia Dimitar Kovachevsky at the beginning of this country's OSCE chairmanship: "We discussed the risks of escalation at the front, further defense cooperation and the deepening of bilateral relations between our countries."
12:34 The death toll as a result of the Russian strike on the Shevchenkovo village killed two people, five more were injured, among them a child, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.
12:28 Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolay Patrushev said that Russia is not at war with Ukraine, hatred for ordinary Ukrainians "by definition cannot be in our country."

12:23 PMC Wagner does not want to release prisoners after six months of service on the Ukrainian front, and those who try to escape or surrender to the Armed Forces of Ukraine are shot and declared missing so as not to pay compensation to their relatives, said the founder of the Gulagu.Net project Vladimir Osechkin. According to him, only 15-20% of prisoners survive the six-month "business trip" to the war in Ukraine, while most of the survivors are seriously injured.
That’s one way to keep recidivism down.
“The special services and Prigozhin do not want to let them go, they are well aware that these people are dangerous and can do something already inside Russia. They will try to put them back into the heat of war so that they stay there,” Osechkin said.
Those who try to flee the battlefield or surrender are shot, Osechkin says: “Your army opens fire on them from artillery. There are cases when 7-8 people, a whole squad of prisoners, tries to surrender - and shells cover ... We interviewed a number of Wagnerites who fled the battlefield, they tell monstrous things about mass graves. People are simply dumped in one place and buried in order not to pay compensation. "
11:40 The situation in Soledar remains difficult, 22 clashes took place in the city in a day, said the speaker of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Cherevaty: "Frosty weather, if it continues, will allow the use of heavy equipment such as tanks, armored personnel carriers. Therefore, counter-offensive actions are possible. Here which side is better prepared, that one will have an advantage ... Yesterday the front commanders gave commands to the commanders directly carrying out tasks in Soledar. Additional forces and means were issued for this."
11:21 The occupiers of the Melitopol region feel the "smell of fried food" and are already preparing the ground for retreat, Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said. According to him, the Russians traditionally build defense lines around the city. However, if earlier they dug in from three sides - Kherson region, Donbass and Zaporozhye, now they are building fortifications to the south of Melitopol towards the Crimea. Concrete cones were placed 40 km from the city between the villages of Volchanskoye and Krasnoye, and trenches are being dug in the area of the Kakhovka Canal.
11:13 In the Russian Federation, a new wave of soldier mobilization is being prepared: over the past two weeks, the Russians have taken many men not only to the east, but also to the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, said Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in an interview with Corriere della Sera. At the same time, he added that Russia did not have enough troops for a new offensive from the north. In his opinion, Belarus will be used mainly as a base for the reorganization of troops.
Skibitsky also noted that Makiivka is part of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, which began in August, "and there will be others."
Skibitsky warned that with the drop in temperatures, the Russians could launch a new attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. At the same time, he added that before the New Year, the Russians used only 20 missiles in raids, at present they have only 90 Iskanders left.
11:08 Ukraine cannot restore the power grid without Soviet equipment, Ukrenergo head Volodymyr Kudrytsky said in an interview with the Financial Times. According to him, there is a particular shortage of 750 kV transformers, each of which weighs up to 200 tons. And although some of them were sourced from former communist countries such as Lithuania, most of the destroyed transformers need to be rebuilt.
10:59 As of the morning of January 9, electricity consumption in Ukraine has increased due to a drop in temperature and an increase in consumption by industry and business with the start of the working week, Ukrenergo reported. In this regard, in order to ensure a balance in the energy system, consumption limits have been brought to all regions of Ukraine, operating from 4:00 to 24:00.
The situation with power supply in the front-line regions in the east and south remains difficult due to significant damage to the power grid during the hostilities. In addition, at night the Russians fired at one of the generation facilities in the south of the country.
10:55 As a result of the Russian strike on the local market in the village of Shevchenkove, Kupyansky district, Kharkiv region, one person died, rescuers continue to sort out the rubble, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.
10:46 British intelligence reports that since June 2022, Russia will almost certainly use the latest Su-57 Felon for strikes on Ukraine, however, it limits their flights only to its territory, fearing losses. According to satellite images, five Su-57 aircraft are stationed at the Akhtubinsk air base, where the 929th flight test center of the Russian Federation is located.
Analysts believe that Russia is trying to avoid the reputational damage, reduced export prospects and compromised confidential technology that could result from the loss of the Su-57 in Ukraine. This indicates that the Russian Federation is still not inclined to risk its air force in a war, intelligence concludes.
10:34 The military and shipbuilders of the Russian Federation are trying to shift responsibility for bringing to a critical state the only Russian aircraft carrier - the heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, which is in disrepair. Currently, the ship is at the 35th shipyard in Murmansk, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. During the repair work, it turned out that the cruiser was not able to move on its own at all, and the critical condition of the ship's hull did not allow it to be moved even with the help of tugs.
The command of the fleet put forward penalties for 1.5 billion rubles to the management of the plant for failure to meet the deadlines for repairs and failure to fulfill the contract. In turn, the management of the enterprise said that the plant was not to blame for bringing the ship to a deplorable state. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, today there is not even an approximate date for the completion of the repair of Admiral Kuznetsov and his return to service.
10:11 In the Severodonetsk region, the situation remains difficult, Roman Vlasenko, head of the military administration of the Severodonetsk region, said: "Active hostilities continue in the Kremennaya area. Svatov and Belogorovka have been more or less calm lately. Winter and frosts have a positive effect on the movement of active hostilities "Our guys are pressing in the area of Dibrova and Krasnopopovka. We are waiting for the continuation of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
09:55 In the morning, the Russians launched a missile attack on a local market in the Shevchenkovo village of the Kupyansky district of the Kharkiv region, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said. The strike injured seven civilians, including a 13-year-old child.
09:37 In the Kherson region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, three people were injured, the head of the OVA, Yaroslav Yanushevich, said.
09:13 In the Lugansk region, the Russians organized mass raids on retail facilities in order to identify the facts of hryvnia settlements with the population, the OVA reported. The occupants demand that price tags be set only in rubles, which led to the transition of the population to non-cash payments. The enemy seizes the terminals and threatens with penalties. But the circulation of the hryvnia does not stop, only supermarkets adhere to innovations. Markets and small shops continue to accept hryvnia, in particular, to a bank card.
09:08 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, two civilians were killed - in Bakhmut and Soledar. Two more people were injured in the region, Pavel Kirilenko, head of the OVA, said.
09:03 Stoltenberg urged to continue supporting Ukraine: "It is impossible to say when and how the war in Ukraine will end. But we know that most wars end at the negotiating table. Most likely, this one too. What Ukrainians can achieve at the negotiating table depends on their strength on the battlefield. Therefore, if we want a peaceful negotiated solution in which Ukraine survives as an independent democratic country in Europe, the fastest way to achieve this is to support Ukraine. Weapons, in fact, are the way to peace."
The NATO Secretary General added that the Ukrainian troops had inflicted heavy losses on Russia, but the Kremlin has again demonstrated its readiness to take great risks and incur heavy human losses: "They have already mobilized 200,000 additional troops. In addition, we know that they can get a lot of new material, and perhaps most importantly, there is no sign that Russia's ambitions have changed. It is dangerous to underestimate Russia."
08:44 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy as of the morning of January 9th.
personnel - about 111,760 (+590) people liquidated,
tanks - 3080 (+11),

08:23 Russia will leave Crimea as soon as the peninsula comes under the full fire control of Ukraine, Podolyak is convinced: "If we liberate the territory of the Luhansk, Donetsk or Zaporozhye regions, then Crimea will come under the total fire control of Ukraine. I do not quite understand what they will do Russians are there. They will understand that they have to run." According to him, Russia is already considering a plan to escape from the Crimea.
Also, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office said that the Ukrainian authorities should not leave an unresolved conflict with Russia to the next generations: “It is not necessary that our children, who are sitting in bomb shelters today, pay another price in 3-5 years. So that they then die for the right of the state That's why we signed such a "contract" today - either we reach the end today, and then our children live in a cool country, or we have to look for another place in life, because then there will be no Ukraine."
08:11 The enemy is conducting offensive operations in Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Limansky and is trying to improve the tactical situation in the Kupyansky direction. In the Novopavlovsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson directions, the enemy is defending on previously occupied lines, carrying out engineering equipment for positions, the General Staff said in the morning summary .

There is a tendency towards a deterioration in the moral and psychological state of the enemy personnel. Thus, among the military of the 127th separate reconnaissance brigade stationed in Sevastopol, the opinion is spreading that the war will end on any terms.
05:22 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) notes that the statement of the Russian Defense Ministry about the "retaliation operation" in Kramatorsk, during which 600 Ukrainian soldiers were allegedly destroyed, caused another wave of discontent in the Russian information space.

After that, a number of Russian military correspondents and bloggers criticized the Russian Defense Ministry, since the department often makes fake statements.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets:
Russian actor Artur Smolyaninov, who got tired of living in Latvia, spoke about the NWO and his attitude towards Russia
The poor fellow spent a lot of money in a geyrop (where he turned out to be absolutely not in demand either as a bugger, or even more so as an actor), so he reminded himself of himself, gives interviews for a handful of shekels ... geyrop as best I can figure is a simple statement of a personal condition.
There are a dime a dozen such artists, musicians and other cultural figures. And everyone is full of hatred for Russia. But just like before, all eight years, and they receive a salary and perform and act in films. For a long time both the law and punishment for such are necessary. He does what he is allowed to do. Nobody is punishing him for this.
2022 was the year of getting rid of illusions, both inside Russia and on the external track (as they like to say in the Russian Foreign Ministry), the year of separating the wheat from the chaff in Russian civil society.
Thousands of "frightened patriots" rushed from the country abroad, to wait out the NWO, in the hope of an early defeat of Russia. And as time has shown, among those whom Dmitry Peskov considers "frightened patriots", there are many notorious Russophobes who only abroad revealed their "Vlasov" essence. Vlasov refers to General Andrey Vlasov, a WWII commander who defected to the German side early in the war.
Galkin zigzagging from the stage in Dubai under the slogan "Glory to Ukraine", Khamatova distributing Russophobic interviews to the Baltic channels, and now the former actor Artur Smolyaninov, who wants the territory of Russia to turn into radioactive ashes. Galkin refers to Russian comic Maxim Galkin. Khamatova refers to Russian actress Chulpan Khamatova.
In the so-called "democratic" West, with its formally advocated freedom of speech, actors are "purged" from films and the industry as a whole, for less.
Let's arrange a poll, what will be the result of this comrade? My version is nothing. Unfortunately, for almost a year of NWO, one could be sure of this - there would be NOTHING. The same Serebryakov, living in Canada, interfered with the country with shit for several years, which did not prevent him from filming HERE and rowing loot. Serebryakov refers to Russian actor Aleksei Serebryakov
These will continue to be filmed in Russian films and TV series, and Russian channels and all sorts of Megogo and Okko will broadcast them. And all sorts of governors will invite such artists to mass events for big money, as did the same governor Peterp Beglov in relation to BI-2. Megogo and Okko are apps for broadcasting media. Petrp Beglov is a Russian politician Aleksandr Berlov.
In fact, such people should be subjected to a "cultural boycott", and not only on the part of the layman, but primarily on the part of the authorities. A generation for which 'love Russia,' 'fight Nazism,' 'be a Christian,' etc., is shameful, not fashionable, should at least leave the media space. One can treat the phenomenon of 'cancellation culture' differently, but The West has cleared out of its media space almost everyone who even hinted against the course and values of Western modern ideology.
Russia should not fight for a modern ideology, but for the preservation of the civilizational code of Russians, where love for the Fatherland, Russia, "birches" is the center of Russian passion regardless of the "steering".
[REGNUM] Actor Arthur Smolyaninov , who had previously left Russia, owed 39 thousand rubles for traffic violations (traffic rules). This January 9 follows from the databases of the Russian FSSP and the traffic police.
According to this information, in total, since mid-2019, Smolyaninov has not paid fines for 22 violations, of which 13 occurred in October-November 2022, when the actor had already left Russia.
At the same time, among the violations were crossing a solid line, non-compliance with markings and speeding, the fines for them were not paid within months and therefore were transferred to bailiffs for collection. Also, in all documents, one car of the actor is indicated - a silver Mazda CX-5. Nice ride.
As REGNUM reported , earlier the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to open a criminal case against the actor Artur Smolyaninov, who starred in a number of TV series and such famous films as "9th Company," "Heat," "1612" and others.
Recall that earlier the actor Artur Smolyaninov, who left Russia, made a confession in an interview with Novaya Gazeta Europe (a media outlet recognized in the Russian Federation as a foreign agent) that he was ready to participate in hostilities on the side of the Ukrainian Nazis.
From rbc.ru:
[ColonelCassad] Equipment from Europe cannot be used to repair energy facilities in Ukraine due to differences in engineering solutions, writes the publication Ukraina began to experience an acute shortage of Soviet transformers with a voltage of 750 kV, each of which weighs up to 200 tons. This is reported by The Financial Times with reference to the head of the board of the national energy company "Ukrenergo" Volodymyr Kudrytsky.
The publication recalled that most of the Ukrainian energy system uses the old Soviet system. It operates at a higher voltage than the EU, which makes it incompatible with most Western equipment, which therefore cannot be used to replace damaged equipment.
Although some transformers were sent to Ukraine from former communist countries, such as Lithuania, most of the destroyed transformers must be rebuilt. “During the first eight months <...> we had a large supply of [spare] transformers. Now they are urgently needed, ”Kudritsky said. The head of Ukrenergo called a complete blackout theoretically possible.
In his opinion, Russia's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure were planned not only by the military, but also by energy experts. Kudrytsky pointed out that Russian engineers knew Ukraine's power grid "like the back of their hand" because it was connected to the Russian system until last February.
Says Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
The case when communist transformers were suddenly needed under the conditions of the fascist regime and the persecution of communists.
#1
750 kV is not a normal distribution grid voltage in the west and this high a voltage is more for extremely long distances where the higher voltage mitigates power losses due to voltage drop (and where you don't have a number of intermediate substations between the source and the 'load' to re-amplify that dropped voltage).
US typically uses up to 500 kV whereas China uses up to 800 kv.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
