Pictures of the pontoon bridge, so obviously the damage to the two road bridges is greater than the hole we saw.
Love this quote from NoelReports
Love this quote from NoelReports
If one thing has become clear, it is that Russian air defense cannot seem to do anything against Storm Shadow missiles. Any target that Ukraine chooses, will get hit. Meanwhile the Russian 'wunderwaffe' Kinzhal is being shot down by Patriot PAC-3 missiles. How tables have turned.

The taps are well and truly open.
. On behalf of Germany, Rheinmetall is supplying Ukraine with a further 20 Marder IFVs. Delivery is due to take place this summer.
“In addition to the Marders ordered to date, Rheinmetall can make a further sixty available. Work on this is already underway at Rheinmetall’s plants in Kassel and Unterlüß. Up to ten infantry fighting vehicles can be delivered per month.”

This is interesting showing a Pantsir locking onto a Storm Shadow thermals but still unable to kill it.

The more of these they get shot of the better, mine layers... I would also add Russinba trench digging kit to that list as well.

Russians doing the foundational PR work required for the issuance of multiple narratives regarding their pending "nuclear accident" at Zaporizhia Nuclear Power plant.
The core narrative will be to blame it on Ukraine, but then several secondary narratives involving "western clandestine services" or "rogue actors".
The West will "whats the REAL story" these endlessly.…

Jimmy Rushton who I consider one of the few genuinely credible doesn't know how much of a thing this is but it not nothing

The only comment I have rerad from the Ukrainian side is "We are watching. " If this Twitter comment is correct, then there are significant desrtions in favour of Wagner taking place "Osechkin: Russia's entire 22nd Special Forces Brigade has switched to Prigozhin's side* as well as some FSB border guards"
If that's true - just as speculation - would you think it better for the Ukrainians to slow/stop their attacks so more Russian troops might desert /join Wagner and weaken the RuA, or push harder on the basis that the Russian troops would be even less motivated than usual ? My opinion is they might wait and watch for a couple of days to see how things develop, because if it turns out that RuA troops do desert, that will cut Ukr casualties, and preserving their troops is something they care about.
* This seems possible because so many Wagner troops are ex-Spetznaz - like this Brigade - so there will undoubtedly have been lots of inter-unit communications/friendships. What actual value it might have for Prighozin is unclear, because this unit was reported to have suffered 90-95% casualties in the battle for Bakhmuth.

Ukrainian psyops….. a 1917 Russian front moment?
BREAKING:
Belarusian soldiers fighting for Ukraine say it’s for them to take control of Belarus.
This is literally the last chance for all Russian troops in Ukraine to leave. It is over! You lost!
Spare us from any further bloodshed. Go home and clean your own house. There is a lot to do.

Well we know this is not a False Flag and is a real military Coup.
The Ukrainian either capitalise on this and move those uncommitted new Brigades into action or sit tight and observe . There may also be back channel information through Western Intelligence telling them to sit tight. Really interesting watching this play out and the speed at which it is unravelling. Friday night was a good choice another would be New Years Eve.
Cheers

Whether or not they will is another matter.
Perhaps the danger for Ukraine is that now Wagner has control of the materiel in the Rostov area it will be forwarded much more efficiently to the front lines than it was under the Russian military command.
Less corruption, better organisation under Wagner would be my un-informed guess.
