Day 667 of the Russia-Ukraine War (December 22, 2023),The Russian army launched a charge on several fronts and continued to suffer losses of more than 1,000 people in a single day. Since October, the Russian army has taken advantage of the situation in the Middle East and the unfavorable assistance of the United States and Europe to start a large-scale offensive in an attempt to regain the initiative on the battlefield, but has suffered serious losses. The winter offensive of the Russian army is going according to plan, just not according to the Russian plan,The cost exceeded expectations.

Let's take a look at the latest news on the battlefield, in the past 1 day, the open source data shows that the visual Russian-Ukrainian equipment loss ratio isThe Russian army will always lose more than the Ukrainian army. The Russian army carried out a crowd charge in Klinki, Avdiivka and Kupyansk, which were covered by Ukrainian artillery shelling and cluster munitions.

Avdiivka region,In the past 1 day, the Russian army launched 36 attacks north and south of Avdiivka, all of which were repulsed, and hundreds of Russian soldiers were again lying in the snow.

Russian troops attacking Avdiivka, praying before the attack,There is not enough armor and protection, there is not enough artillery and armored vehicles to assist,After 10 minutes, 95% of people were dead. Fighting took place in Stepov, the coke plant, the railway line, Vodiane, Opitne, the southwestern quarry, and the Russian man-sea charge made only 200 meters of progress in some areas, which was too costly.

Near Steppoway in the north, Ukrainian military drones, M2A2 Bradley infantry combat vehicles, and artillery blocked the Russian army's attack, leaving losses all over the ground with every Russian charge.

In the southern industrial zone and near Vodane, abandoned and destroyed Russian equipment after several unsuccessful attacks is everywhere. After 3 months of offensive, the Russian army advanced 2 on the north flank of Avdiivka7 km, 1 advance on the south side8 km for this4 square kilometers of gains,Russian armyLosses800 tanks armored vehicles and more than 20000 soldiers,And there was little progress. In the face of such costs and results, the Russian army continues to charge regardless of the cost, and the lives of the Russian army are too worthless.

Kherson region,The Ukrainian army repelled at least 20 attacks by the Russian army on Klinki, and the Ukrainian artillery destroyed the Russian armored units and troop concentrations south of Klinki. The Russian army lost tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and more than 100 people, and the M14 highway is still under the fire control of the Ukrainian army. Interestingly, when the Ukrainian army did not reach the left bank, the Russian army could not destroy the right-bank bridgehead for several months, boasting that after the defense line was broken through for several months, the commander was changed, people were sent up in waves, and even the FBA-500 bombs were constantly thrown could not destroy the Ukrainian army, and the Russian army's charge at any cost failed to drive the Ukrainian army back to the right bank. The Ukrainian army is engaged in counter-artillery battles, actively trying to advance to the rear of the Russian army. The defeat of the Russian army in Kherson is certain, and it is only a matter of time before it is pushed to the borders of Crimea.

**Mutter region,The Russian army advanced a few hundred meters northwest of Khromov, the Russian army advanced 200 meters north of Kryshchivka, managed to cross the railway line, and the Ukrainian army advanced several hundred meters in the direction of the reservoir, with each side making progress.

Zaporozhye region,Robtani, Verboway, Novoprokopivka are relatively quiet in the direction, Russia and Ukraine have artillery and drone duels with each other, and the Ukrainian army successfully repelled a large offensive of the Russian army in Verbowe, and the Russian army lost personnel, 2 main battle tanks and other vehicles.

Kupyansk-Svato-Kreminna region,In Sinkiivka and other areas, the Russian offensive was repulsed, Russian tanks, armored vehicles and artillery were destroyed by the Ukrainian army, and many people were lost in vain.

In Kreminna, a large-scale offensive launched by the Russian army was repulsed, and the Russian army lost 4 tanks, 3 special vehicles, 2 artillery systems and about 200 soldiers.

These attacking Russian soldiers were used by the Ukrainian armyCovered by artillery, mortars and cluster munitions, heavy losses were taken. The Russian army has been using the crowd charge since October to consume the ammunition, supplies, and manpower of the Ukrainian army, and then wait for an opportunity to win the victory, according to past dataThe Russian army needs at least 3 soldiers and equipment to consume 1 Ukrainian armyThis gap is extremely costly for the Russian army. The Russian army has a huge population base, prisoners, Storm Z troops, and even a large number of Central Asian immigrants, etc., and the number of soldiers does not look like a problem,But Russian soldiers who lacked adequate training and equipment fell under Ukrainian artillery and cluster munitions.

On December 22, Ukraine released data on the losses of the Russian army, judging from the data, the Russian army carried out a crowd charge without the assistance of tanks and armored vehicles, and suffered huge losses. I can't understand the tactics of the Russian army, maybe the only chance for the Russian army to win at the moment is to rely on the number of personnel to consume the Ukrainian army, and the war without superiority will not last long.

St. Petersburg, Russia, a large number of Central Asian migrants are preparing to go to Ukraine to fight, and there are migrants who received conscription notices at the site of the oath of Russian citizenship, maybe there are not so many Russian soldiers as claimed. No matter how many people there are, lacking adequate equipment and training, under precision artillery and cluster munitions, there is no point.

The Canadian company Roshel has delivered 1000 Senator armored vehicles to Ukraine, and the number is growing. Allocation from the Netherlands1.0.2 billion eurosFor humanitarian aid and emergency needs in Ukraine. Germany will provide additional88.5 million eurosto help strengthen the security of Ukraine's energy system. Switzerland offers Ukraine$13 millionwinter assistance and the rehabilitation of energy infrastructure. Finland** Sauli Niinistö approved the provision of value to Ukraine1.0.6 billion eurosmilitary aid packages. South Korea donated 10 demining vehicles and 100 pickup trucks to Ukraine.

The German Ministry of Defense announced that it has delivered 120 Marder 1A3 Weasel Infantry combat vehicles to Ukraine, 20 more than the previous ones, and Germany is really reliable.

After the UK plans to sign a 10-year security treaty with Ukraine, Germany has also negotiated a bilateral agreement with Ukraine on security guarantees.

On December 22, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin had a conversation with Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov to discuss the overall aid priorities, and the United States may provide another $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine by the end of this month.

The key to the Russia-Ukraine war lies in the continued assistance of the United States and Europe to Ukraine, with Belgium $1.7 billion, Denmark $4.2 billion, Latvia, Lithuania, and the Netherlands $2 billion, Norway $7.5 billion, France €2 billion, Germany €8 billion, Sweden €500 million, Japan $4.5 billion, and South Korea $2.3 billion.

Of course, there are 50 billion euros in security aid from the European Union, 20 billion in security assistance, 61 billion dollars in the United States are being discussed, and the most important thing is that frozen Russian assets will be taken out to aid Ukraine.

It is reported that the United States has asked the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan to develop a detailed plan to use the frozen Russian assets of $300 billion to aid Ukraine by February 24, 2024.

Even if the United States does not pay for it, for Europe, it is not a problem at all to come up with tens of billions of dollars to aid Ukraine, after all, supporting Ukraine is for the sake of Europe's tomorrow, this simple truth is recognized by the other 26 EU member states except Hungary.

In the past 667 days, Ukraine has embarrassed Russia economically and militarily, and Ukrainians have earned respect with their courage and tenacity. Ukraine has already cost Russia dearly, and when the threshold point of that price arrives, victory is a matter of moments. Although the path to freedom is tortuous and victory seems tough, in the end it all belongs to those who deserve it!
