Media reports indicate that Ukraine's attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure are intensifying and reaching new highs.
In the past months, Ukraine has set a new record for the number of attacks on Russian energy facilities, reaching a total of incidents. Since Christmas, additional Russian oil and gas facilities have been targeted in attacks.
Attacking Russia's oil and gas infrastructure is precisely the key to the war and the most effective way to weaken Russia's war machine. The energy revenues, which have long been the lifeline of the Kremlin's budget, are rapidly shrinking under the impact of sanctions, rising costs, and ongoing disruptions.
According to an article cited by Bloomberg, the Russian government expects oil and gas revenues to account for % of its budget income this year, hitting a record low. In the coming year, Russia's situation is undoubtedly set to worsen. Even if Russians can protect central cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, they will not be able to fully defend the extensive infrastructure that supports its military expenditures.
The article concludes by noting that as these revenues diminish, Russia's ability to sustain the war will decline accordingly. The conflict, initiated by Russia, will eventually reach a tipping point where it can no longer be maintained and will ultimately come to an end.
In the direction of Pokrovsk, the First Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard, the "Azov" Brigade, announced that Lozhynske is currently under the control of the Azov Brigade—soldiers from the "Red Flag" Operational Brigade of the Azov Brigade have raised the Ukrainian flag in Lozhynske.
This is a great New Year's gift. The situation in Pokrovsk may be more optimistic than we expected. Currently, the city area remains the same, and the frontline has seen almost no significant changes over the past half month.
In the Kupiansk direction, over the past hour, Russian forces trapped in the city attempted to break out but were unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Russian counterattacks north of Kupiansk and northwest of Petropavlivka were also repelled.
In the direction of Huliaipol, last night, a large Russian military column was detected by Ukrainian thermal reconnaissance drones as it approached the front line for rotation. Subsequently, the Ukrainian unmanned systems unit quickly mobilized a swarm of attack drones, nearly annihilating the entire force.
From the videos released by the Ukrainian military, it appears that the Russian army's command approach has regressed once again. This tactic of advancing in densely packed, single-file formations with large numbers of infantry and tanks is practically serving themselves up as easy targets for the Ukrainian forces.
Or does the Kremlin believe that Russia's current population is still too large?
