The authors of the project believe that despite the advantage, the Russians could not organize counterattacks comparable to the Kharkov and Kherson operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2022, and did not achieve strategic results.
The researcher under the nickname Poulet Volant leads a X map of the year on social networks (and numbers that differ from Deepstate data). As it is not difficult to notice, the main territorial successes of the RF Armed Forces are related to the winter-spring offensive at the beginning of the year, and current offensive operations have not yet led to significant advancement.

According to DEPSTATE in January 3, the Russians in the Swatovsky direction unsuccessfully try to attack Sinkovka and Olshany , and east of Ternov are also fighting.

In the Avdeevsky direction , according to the project, Ukrainians repel Stepovoy assaults every day, while the Russian forces managed to take a couple of landings in the area of the railway near the village of Berdychi . Also, the Russians are trying to attack Pervomaisky and step on Georgievka from the side of Maryinka .
In the Zaporizhzhya direction , Deepstate reports, the battles go west of the worker , as well as west and southwest of the Verbovoy , where the Armed Forces managed to recapture some positions.

Deepstate also gives a video of a curious incident that took place in the forest in the Dibrova area to the west of Kremennaya . According to the project, the Russians fired at the tank and stormed the position that they themselves took a few days before. According to the authors, this is due to the difficulties of orientation during battles in a wooded area.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in a New Year's interview with The Economist identified the crash of Russia's dominance in the Black Sea and a breakthrough of sea blockade as the main success of Ukraine in 2023. According to Zelensky, next year Crimea will again be in the center of events, and the efforts of the Armed Forces will be focused on the further isolation of the peninsula.
In August of this year, The Insider released material about the Battle of Crimea , and recently “Ukrainian Pravda” spoke about the role of various Ukrainian sea drones in this operation.
Talking about the prospects for 2024, the senior researcher RUSI Jack Waling writes that it is incorrect and even dangerous to consider the situation at the front as a “dead end”. In his opinion, the parties are now trying to restore offensive potential, and it depends on the scale of assistance to the West whether Ukraine will be able to prepare for offensive operations by 2025, or whether Russia will receive an advantage that will not be resisted.
Mutual shelling and sabotage
According to the Kiev city military administration on January 4, the number of people who died as a result of the shelling of Kiev on December 29 increased to 32 people, another 30 were injured.
Among the possible goals of the raid on Kiev could be a military clothing factory , a workshop of drones and the Kiev plant “Artem” . It is worth recalling that according to the additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the attack is considered indistinct if it entails excessive damage to the civilian population "in relation to the specific and direct military advantage, which is supposed to be obtained in this way."
In the published video shot at the time of shelling, the Russian cruise missile X-101 shoots heat traps and, as the Ukrainian military expert Sergei Flash is added, many small needles, misleading radars.

According to the version of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Belgorod’s blow was carried out by two Olha missiles in cassette equipment and reactive shells of the Czech RSO Vampire, rockets and most of the jet shells intercepted the air defense systems, and “cassette parts from the shot down missiles” and several shells fell through the city. Subsequently, photographs of debris ( 1 , 2 ) appeared on the Web, in which the reactive shells of the "alder" (Ukrainian modification of the Smerch RZO, capable of shooting corrected ammunition) were identified.
A source of RBC-Ukraine in law enforcement agencies accused of the death of civilians the “ineffective work” of Russian air defense systems. It is worth recalling that it is precisely the work of the air defense that many Russian speakers, in particular, the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation at the UN, Vasily Nebenzya . In the published photographs from Belgorod , there are the exhausted marching engines of the missile missiles “PAPRI”, which in themselves do not pose a significant danger, but at least indicate the use of air defense in the city line.
The shelling of the Belgorod region resumed on January 2 and January 3-during January 2, Russian air defense intercepted ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) a total of 24 Olkha missiles and two Point-U OTRK missiles, 6 points-u missiles and 6 Olha missiles. According to Gladkov, on January 2 in Belgorod, one person died, 11 were injured.
After one of the inhabitants of Belgorod shot a video with the work of the air defense, he was followed by security forces with stripes with the inscription “SMERSH” (the Soviet counterintelligence organization from the Second World War, the name is deciphered as “Death to spies!”) And forced him to apologize for the camera .

In addition, the Ukrainian “National Resistance Center” announced Russian plans to equip the X-32 cruise missiles with cassette ammunition. This follows from the documentation of the Dubnensky Machine -Building Plant, which, as approved, fell at the disposal of the center. The Z-channel “Military informant” notes that potential new weapons will be extremely useful for defeating the Airborne for Armed Forces outside the shelters at the rear airfields, since Ukrainian air defense is not able to knock down the K-22 and X-32 missiles.
The British edition of The Telegraph writes that due to wires with the financing of American assistance to Ukraine, in winter, ZURA reserves for Patriot complexes may run out, as a result of which Ukrainians will have to choose which attacks to reflect and which miss. In turn, General Sergei Naev, responsible for the air defense of Kiev and the northern regions of Ukraine, told AFP that missiles for the air defense systems are enough to reflect several more large attacks, however, in the medium -term and long -term perspective, the supply of additional air defense systems and ammunition to them will be required. There are some prospects in this direction-for example, Vladimir Zelensky, after a conversation with Canada Prime Minister Justin Trundu, thanked him for his readiness to help Ukraine with the receipt of new NASAMS air defense systems and missiles for them.
Great Britain and other European countries are working on increasing defense production throughout the continent to guarantee the supply of Ukraine only Europe in the event of Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, writes The Times.

The German government has updated the list of weapons and military equipment placed in Ukraine.

In addition, 4 more IRIS-T SLM and one Skynex installation are additionally planned for the supply of another 4 IRIS-T SLM.
Most of the 18 Leopard 2 tanks, transferred by Germany, are in a heavenly state, it became known from the letter of the deputy of the Bundestag Sebastian Shepher to the defense companies Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. According to him, received after visiting the base of the repair of military equipment in Lithuania, this is due to the lack of spare parts and the lack of repair capacities in Ukraine.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine received Dana-M2 self-propelled guns-modernization of the Czechoslovak DANA from Czech Excalibur Army. As the publication “Milittary” recalls , the order for them was placed back in 2018, and now they are actively used, probably in eastern Ukraine.

The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces noted the 155 mm of Indian -made caliber shells. This is the first famous (previously unnecessary) supply of Indian weapons to Ukraine. As the Telegram channel "Artillery" recalls , recently it was reported to order shells of this type in India for an unnamed European country. There is a certain irony in the fact that in this way the APU receive ammunition from India and its implacable opponent of Pakistan .

Утром 2 января в российском Минобороны сообщили о применение в «зоне СВО» новейших радиолокационных комплексов «Ястреб-АВ», способных отслеживать полет снарядов в автоматическом режиме и передавать данные артиллерии «или другим огневым или ударным средствам». Примечательно, что уже вечером того же дня пришло своеобразное подтверждение этой информации — украинцы опубликовали видео уничтожения одного из таких комплексов из РСЗО HIMARS.

В ожидании новых «Ястреб-АВ» российские военные на фронте продолжают упражняться в модификации уже имеющейся техники для защиты от украинских дронов.
