Is this a normal combat day, or an intense day?
 
Yes I am. You can't compare the situation there now with that of the Soviet era.
 
During joint assault operations on the Lyman axis, fighters of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) and the Third Army Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed a regiment of the Russian army.

According to Ukrinform, the Third Army Corps reported this on Telegram and released corresponding video footage.

As a result of coordinated action, the front line was evened out and the tactical position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area was improved.

 
On the night of December 18, Defense Forces units struck several air defense targets, a drone storage facility, and other Russian army objects in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on its Facebook page.

In particular, a strike was recorded on the 55Zh6 Nebo-U radar station near Hvardiiske in temporarily occupied Crimea.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces also struck a fuel and lubricants depot belonging to a unit of the Russian Federation's 76th Airborne Assault Division in the Prymorsk area of the Zaporizhzhia reg

In addition, a UAV storage facility in Makiivka and a concentration of invading forces of the 114th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade in Donetsk were hit. The losses are being clarified.

"Putin vows no more wars if West treats Russia with respect"

Well, that's nice. He has no further territorial claims in Europe, as they say.
"Respect" I infer to mean give him what he wants. Which is Donbas. But generously defined. And if you ask his UK ambassador it's actually all of Ukraine. And Transnistria, but he thinks that's his already so I guess he doesn't count that.

After getting the Sudetenland, Hitler declared that he had no further territorial claims. Which he immediately broke with invading Czechoslovakia, and then Poland.

Too late, Trump heard about it and is threatening an amphibious assault on Aylesbury if it isn't awarded to him.
 
Russian forces have begun mounting sea ISO containers on tanks, adding to the improvised structures already seen on the battlefield, such as so-called “sheds” and “grills.”

The Telegram channel Region 22 published the video footage.

The video captures two tanks of an unidentified type.

Due to the low video quality and the container superstructures, it is difficult to determine the exact version, though features of the rear section suggest the vehicles may be T-80BVM tanks.

 
A Russian general has been killed in a car bombing in Moscow, officials have said.

Russia's Investigative Committee said Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov died on Monday morning after an explosive device planted under a car detonated.

Sarvarov, 56, was the head of the armed forces' operational training department, the committee added.

It said one theory being investigated was that the bomb was planted with the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. Ukraine has not commented.

Looks like a great way to keep a crew form escaping a damaged/burning tank. It's not like someone cold stroll up or fly a drone up next to it, what with the giant blind spots now employed.
