War in Ukraine: London does not expect Russian breakthrough in Bakhmut

Update from January 3, 11:35 a.m .:

According to British military experts, a major breakthrough by the Russian military near the contested Ukrainian city of Bakhmut is unlikely in the coming weeks.

This emerged from the daily intelligence update from the Ministry of Defense in London on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian troops have strengthened their positions.

The Russian attacks have decreased recently - after they had reached a temporary peak in mid-December.

"Both sides have suffered heavy casualties," the statement said.

Update from January 3, 9:20 a.m .:

 In the Cherson region in southern Ukraine, the Ukrainian military claims to have inflicted heavy losses on the Russian armed forces with an artillery attack.

The Ukrainians scored a hit against enemy troops and military equipment near the village of Chulakivka, the Ukrainian General Staff said in its situation report on Tuesday.

"The enemy's losses amount to 500 dead and injured," it said.

The attack had already taken place on New Year's Eve.

The information provided by the military could not be independently verified.

According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian units in Fedorivka were also hit a day later.

The number of victims there is still being checked.

Fedorivka and Chulakivka are both located on the south-eastern side of the Dnipro River in the Russian-occupied part of the Kherson region.

It was only announced on Monday that accommodation for Russian soldiers in the town of Makiivka in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk was destroyed in an attack on New Year's Eve.

The Russian Defense Ministry officially acknowledged the deaths of 63 recruits.

Kyiv put enemy losses at 400 dead and 300 wounded.

Russian military bloggers also spoke of several hundred victims.

Ukraine War: Apparently 25 Russian torture camps discovered

Update from January 2, 10:20 p.m .:

Since the liberation of the area around the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv from Russian occupation, the police say they have discovered 25 torture camps there.

In the camps, among other things, Russian troops held and tortured civilians under inhumane conditions, said regional police chief Volodymyr Tymoshko on Facebook on Monday.

Some of the prisoners were given electric shocks, others had their fingers broken.

The information cannot be independently verified.

The area around Kharkiv had been occupied by Russian troops for months.

They only withdrew in early September after a Ukrainian counter-offensive.

Since then, 920 bodies of civilians, including 25 children, have been discovered in the liberated region, Tymoschko said.

They were killed by Russian soldiers.

Russian drone strikes: military expert talks about Moscow's strategy

Update from January 2, 6:20 p.m.:

Russia has flown targeted drone attacks on Ukrainian cities along the Dnipro River in the past few days.

According to one expert, the attacks with so-called kamikaze drones on targets in Ukraine are deliberately carried out at night and along the river.

"Logically, not everything is visible in the sky at night," Colonel Vladislav Zelesnyov told the Ukrainian agency RBK-Ukraina on Monday.

The flight route from the south along the Dnipro was also chosen in order to avoid the Ukrainian air defenses if possible.

The "kamikaze" drones, which Russia appears to have received from Iran, plummet vertically toward their targets and detonate on impact.

Most of the Shahed drones have been shot down by anti-aircraft defenses in recent nights.

Nevertheless, falling debris caused considerable damage.

Ukraine claims 400 Russians killed - Kremlin confirms 63 victims

First report from January 2nd:

Makiivka – In the course of the war so far, Russia has always held back when it comes to its own loss figures.

As a rule, the Kremlin (like Ukraine) leaves open whether and, if so, how many soldiers are wounded.

Now, however, there are official numbers from Moscow - about a Ukrainian attack on New Year's Eve.

Ukraine claims 400 Russians killed - Kremlin confirms 63 victims

On Monday, Russia confirmed the deaths of 63 soldiers.

According to the Kremlin, they died after Ukrainian rocket attacks in the Donbass.

It was the highest number of deaths in one place that Russia itself had reported.

The missiles hit a temporary shelter in Makiivka on New Year's Eve, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Monday.

The Ukrainian military had previously spoken of 400 Russian soldiers killed.

In addition, 300 other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which was initially not described in detail.

On Monday, Telegram channels close to the Kremlin and war correspondents also reported numerous deaths in the town in the Donetsk region.

There was talk of more than 70 dead and more than 100 injured.

The reports increased the pressure on the ministry in Moscow, which suddenly released a figure at the end of the daily war bulletin that afternoon that many consider too low.

The Russian state news agency Tass reported on Sunday about a serious attack on the city - and spoke of 15 injured.

This was widely criticized as lying and war propaganda.

Ukraine attack in Makiivka: reservists killed at New Year's celebrations?

Pictures and a video of the rubble of a completely collapsed building could be seen on social networks.

Accordingly, further dead and injured were suspected under the rubble.

The media reported that the reservists called up as part of the partial mobilization ordered by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin had gathered in the building to celebrate the New Year.

According to this, the Ukrainian military became aware of the location because of the high activity of data traffic with mobile phones.

According to unconfirmed reports, the building was next to an ammunition depot, causing devastating explosions.
