This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

“Putin’s Warped Wartime Economy, as Seen Through a Carton of Eggs”
“Egg inflation is latest symptom of painful trade-offs Moscow has made to fund its onslaught on Ukraine”
“For a microcosm of how the war in Ukraine has warped Russia’s economy, look no further than a carton of eggs.
The grocery staple has been in short supply in recent months and prices have skyrocketed, prompting Russians from Belgorod to Siberia to form lines reminiscent of Soviet times. President Vladimir Putin has publicly apologized, blaming the egg shock on the government. Last month, a poultry-farm boss known as “the Egg King” survived an assassination attempt shortly after authorities started investigating his farm due to high prices.
Behind the soaring price tag—up around 60% in December from a year earlier, according to data released Friday—is a convergence of factors symptomatic of the economy’s travails.”

I hadn’t checked in for your progress report lately. I see the Ukes are still crushing the Russians. With those kind of losses will Z move on to St. Petersburg now that Moscow has obviously been surrendered. Geez man, what galling stoogery.
Crimean media report massive electricity outages in Crimea. A large part of Sevastopol has no electricity, together with Simferopol, Feodosia, Kerch, Dzhankoy, Saky.

Putin announced a new date for the capture of Avdiivka and gave the order to close Crimea from enemy missiles. The day before, 19 soldiers were killed near Sevastopol
The President gave his instructions during a recent short conversation with Sergei Shoigu, our source in the Ministry of Defense said.
Vladimir Vladimirovich gave the order on Crimea after the missile attack that the enemy launched on Sevastopol and its environs on Wednesday, January 17.
According to interlocutors close to the Minister of Defense and the General Staff, this blow had tragic consequences. “We shot down all the missiles, except two. Two missiles hit a Marine training center near Sevastopol, a classified facility. 19 of our boys were killed, 12 more were wounded.
“Several pieces of valuable equipment were also lost,” said one of our sources. Please note that this tragedy has not been previously reported.
The President was informed about it (though not Shoigu, as has often happened lately ). “Vladimir Vladimirovich was very angry and said that Crimea should be closed off from missiles.
To objections that this was impossible, he sharply replied: “You try!” - an interlocutor close to the Minister of Defense told us. He fears that the president may make “tough decisions,” since it is impossible to completely close Crimea from Ukrainian and NATO missiles that the enemy is armed with.
Putin also told Shoigu that he expected the capture of Avdiivka before March 1, or at the latest by March 10. And he ordered to intensify attacks on the city “now.”
“In principle, it is possible to take Avdiivka before the March elections. Although no one, of course, guarantees this to you. But no one will protect Crimea from attacks.
“Unfortunately, the Kyiv regime is being given and will be given even more missiles. No air defense in the world can cope with such attacks,” a representative of the General Staff told us about this.
“Putin announced a new date for the capture of Avdiivka”
This is from a 100 truthy Russian site no?
Kazan told me yesterday that Russia has no interest in taking more territory, they got all they want. They are only trying to “grind down” the old men and woman.
So this trying to capture additional territory must be false.
Yes that is a Moscovian Blogger who is usually correct. FWIW
“Opening up Black Sea exports was clearly Ukraine’s greatest strategic success since the liberation of Kherson in fall of 2022
It is now clear how this was achieved - via development of credible threats against Russian Black Sea shipping”

“France has launched an “artillery coalition” with Ukraine.
In a nutshell:
- around 50 contributing states/ Ramstein Group
- five sub-clusters based on capacities
- aim: short-term support and building long-term air defence structures for Ukraine
- co-headed by France and US”

Moscovia would take the entire world, if allowed. They will never stop, other than to rest and rearm. They rested from 1991 to 2022. They rearmed on paper, as it turned out.
