⚡️ Russia’s December oil and gas revenue set to drop to lowest level since 2020, Reuters reports. Russia’s oil and gas revenue in December is expected to be nearly half compared to the previous year, down to about 410 billion rubles ($5.17 billion), Reuters reported.
The Urals oil price remains low:

“Ukraine sanctions nearly 700 vessels tied to Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on Dec. 13 that Ukraine’s sanctions against nearly 700 vessels linked to Russia’s shadow fleet had entered into force.
Zelensky said the vessels account for a large share of Russia’s fleet used to transport oil and other energy resources, providing funding that helps sustain the war, and noted that they operate under the flags of more than 50 jurisdictions.”

“🥴Orban is having a fit — he says that using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine’s benefit is a “declaration of war”. “European laws are bypassing Hungary to get to Russian assets. This is a declaration of war.”

Call someone who cares 🤣🤣🤣
Oops 😳
Imagine if it would be so terrible.
Because Russia in Ukraine is not a war???
Oh well. Then it will be the EU that has to whip Russia in war again.
Poor Hungary.
Unexpected that Orban would be the first European to declare war on ryz, but good that he has come to realize!

Putin’s dacha in Sochi has been flooded by UA 🤣🤣🤣
The oil platforms have also been previously strongly rejected.
War for real now 💥💥💥
The one over there is fantastic.
Fun to have meetings in shot-up buildings.
Orcs like that.
That’s actually their way of building cities. Shoot everything to ruins and raise the flag.
Reading about how China overestimates the population size, and even if they don’t, the country is dimensioned for 500 million, which means that large groups live without what we would normally assume they have access to.
So either China is lying about the number in the country or their standard of living 😀
A true story: Once upon a time there were two Chinese people. Now they are 1.46 million. 🤨
Billions.
I have said many times that the war was won but then the USA or an inactive Europe stopped it.
operation badanka or azov push 2022 for example that the USA destroyed.
as it looks now – all else being equal and with a growing Europe, the war is probably won but will continue for a while.

Russian forces attacked Zaporizhzhia with emergency services on scene assessing damage, regional head Fedorov reports.
“⚡️Ryska attacker dödar 2, skadar 11 i Ukraina, träffar turkiskt lastfartyg under senaste dygnet. Ukrainska styrkor sköt ner 110 av de 138 drönarna, inklusive attackdrönare av Shahed-typ, som sköts upp av Ryssland under natten, rapporterade flygvapnet. Ryssland sköt också upp en ballistisk missil av typen Iskander-M.”

“Tjänster arbetar med att återställa värme och vatten efter ryska attacker som lämnade hundratusentals utan ström i sju regioner, sade Zelensky och noterade att Ryssland sköt iväg över 1 500 drönare, 900 glidebomber och 46 missiler denna vecka, med ännu en massattack mot Odesa under natten.”

“❗️Zelensky is trying to revise Trump’s peace plan rather than reject it outright, according to WSJ. As the publication writes, Ukraine’s president is working on revising the U.S.-proposed peace plan, attempting to make it acceptable for Kyiv without directly rejecting the document in order to avoid straining relations with Donald Trump. Over the past week, during negotiations with European leaders, Zelensky has effectively rewritten the plan, seeking to preserve space for dialogue with Washington while protecting Ukrainian interests.”

See your comment yesterday: 13 missiles last night, not tonight.
Ah, right, I forgot that it’s a day after. 👍
Remembered that I forgot to report DeepStateMaps’ update on Kupiansk from the day before yesterday:
“Ukrainian Defense Forces liberated Myrne, Radkivka, Kindrashivka and part of Kupiansk.”
Otherwise, this is the latest update:
“The enemy advanced near Rivne, Vyymka and Vasyukivka.”
“1) Updates graph of Russia tank losses by Type. T-80s and T-72 continue to oscillate between which is most common, but T-90 and T-54/55 stay remarkably stable at about 10% and 5% respectively.
2) I dont know whats driving these changes, presumably unit rotation of units with different equipment will play a part, but if that is the main driver, it seems strange that the T-90 and now also the T-54/55 look so consistent.
3) The ratio of Russia lost tanks to Russia lost IFVs is at almost record levels. Just 0.3 tanks on average for each IFV/APC Russia losses. interesting that just as recently as July we had a record in other other direction almost 0.7 Tanks for each IFV/APC. we have not seen similar oscillations before, so unclears whey its starting now.

A new world order in the making but not as Xi Jinping envisioned
Ukrainian soldiers use a variety of shredders and grinders to prepare TNT, sometimes with some plastic explosive, for drone munitions.
With a shortage of high explosive, the TNT is retrieved by breaking up TM-62 landmines.

Ukraine may consider abstaining from NATO according to Zelensky.
No major loss with Trump, Hegseth, and Rutte at the helm. Ukraine could join JEF instead. Bring Poland along too.
