Today is the 651st day of the war.
The front line has not changed over the past month. The fighting is mainly for Avdiivka. The Russians already use less heavy equipment and attack mainly with small groups of infantry. These are meat attacks or zombie attacks. That's what they call it here. The Russians go attack after attack, when one group dies, a new one takes its place. Our military says that about 1,000 Russians die a day. It's hard for me to imagine. It's a lot. Of course, Ukrainian soldiers are also dying. According to the formulas of war, the defending side usually has 3 times less losses. Therefore, if about 1000 Russians die, then about 300 Ukrainian soldiers will die.
We have snow and now the soldiers need more warmth; It is very difficult to fight in winter because it is cold. However, the soil begins to harden and soon heavy equipment will again be able to move across the fields, which means that fighting will become more active. Last month, a swamp prevented tanks from moving and vehicles were stranded on the roads.
In addition, now is the New Year holiday period and there is less supply of various supplies from other allied countries.
Let me remind you that planes do not fly to our country. Everything is imported by road through Poland. This is not only military, it is absolutely everything for life in the whole country, ordinary goods for people. Last month, Poles bribed by the Russians began blocking roads, which greatly complicated the situation for Ukraine. Now the situation seems to have improved, let's see what happens next.
About drones. We recently used cheap kamikaze drones to destroy two very expensive and rare Russian missile launchers worth $130 million each. This is a new record.
However, our situation at the front is poor, we are completely dependent on allied supplies, and to win we need significantly more offensive weapons, aircraft and missiles. On the other hand, the Russians have a huge army and endless resources, and they do not spare people; They can wage such a long war for 10-20 years.
Today is the day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, there is no festive mood at all. I would like to wish every Ukrainian soldier patience, strength and victory.
