โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Soledar direction
situation as of 13.00 January 13, 2023


๐Ÿ”ปIn the Soledar sector, the assault detachments of the PMC "Wagner" are cleaning the quarters and underground communications on the western outskirts of Soledar. Today, the "Wagnerites" entered the territory of the urban-type settlement of Sol and established control over the depot of the railway station of the same name.

โ–ช๏ธIn the north-west of Soledar, active battles are taking place on the southern outskirts of Krasnaya Gora and in Paraskovievka near the Bakhmutka River. After the liberation of the railway station Sol, the village of Blagodatnoye was actually cut off from the supply lines from Seversk and Bakhmut.

โ–ช๏ธThe surviving members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Soledar and its environs are spreading information about huge losses in manpower due to command errors. In one of the brigades in the company of the formation, only 30 people remained, and in the battalion of 24th Mechanized brigade (OMBr) ,out of 300, only 100 fighters survived.

๐Ÿ”ปFighting continues in Bakhmut and its suburbs. After the liberation of the village, Opytne (Opytnoye), by PMC "Wagner" ,position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut is deteriorating.

โ–ช๏ธIn Minkovka, a reserve command post for the consolidated group has been equipped, and the forces of the 116th brigade of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Sumy region are expected to arrive in this direction.

โ–ช๏ธAs a result of the active offensive of the RF Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost control over two company and two platoon strongholds in Bakhmut, Kleshcheevka and Krasnaya Gora.

โ–ช๏ธOnly on January 12, confirmed losses of Ukrainian formations in Bakhmut amounted to 100 people, and 39 were wounded. To strengthen positions, 600 mobilized without combat experience are expected to be transferred in the near future.

โ–ช๏ธAccording to the radio interception from Bakhmut, over 800 people have been killed over the past five days, not counting the missing and wounded.

In addition, individual units of Polish mercenaries, who were transferred to the direction a few weeks earlier, suffered huge losses.

The Poles spread information about the loss of communication and the complete disunity between the formations in Bakhmut and the surrounding area. The moral and psychological state of mercenaries is at a low level.

โ–ช๏ธThe forces of the 3rd Battalion of the 28th mechanized brigade (OMBr) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted a counteroffensive on Russian positions southwest of Bakhmut. The attack was repulsed, and separate detachments of the 28th Brigade fled from the combat area.

๐Ÿ”ปThe leadership of the Ukrainian operational-tactical group "Soledar" assesses the situation as critical and expects the intensification of the offensive of Russian troops at the Berestovoye-Spornoye line in order to reach the Seversk agglomeration, as well as in the south at the Ozaryanovka-Mayorsk line towards Druzhba and Dyleevka.

The liberation of Opytnoye allows the Russians to start advancing on the southern outskirts of Bakhmut, as well as attacking the fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kleshcheevka from the east. Communication problems and low temperatures affect the ability to use reconnaissance UAVs, which reduces the effectiveness of the use of artillery and MLRS from Chasov Yar(Chasov Yar is a occupied by the Ukrainians)

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บRussian Ministry of Defense : The liberation of Soledar, which is important for the continuation of successful offensive actions, was completed on the evening of January 12.

Establishing control over Soledar allows cutting off the supply routes of Ukrainian troops in Artemovsk, and then blocking and taking into the cauldron the Ukrainian troops remaining there, the Ministry of Defense reported.

The capture of Soledar became possible due to the constant fire destruction of the enemy by aviation, missile forces, and artillery, the Ministry of Defense added.

The ministry noted the actions of the Russian Airborne Forces units, which, in a covert maneuver, successfully attacked Ukrainian positions at once, occupying dominant heights and blockading the city from the north and south sides.

In the last three days alone, Ukrainian casualties near Soledar exceed 700 people, and more than 300 weapons (equipment) were destroyed, the Russian Defence Ministry says

US may lose control of world finance due to conflict in Ukraine โ€” French expert

The Ukrainian conflict is existential for the United States, which, in the event that friendly European economies become exhausted, will run the risk of losing its grip on world finance, French historian and anthropologist Emmanuel Todd said in an interview with Le Figaro.

In his commentary, he recalls a piece of analysis offered by Professor John Mearsheimer, of the University of Chicago, who argued that whereas for Russia this conflict was "existential," for the United States it was just another game among other countries, and that victory or defeat in it would be of little importance to the US. "But this analysis is insufficient. [U.S. President Joe] Biden now has to hurry. America is fragile and the Russian economyโ€™s resistance is pushing the US imperial system towards the abyss. Nobody had expected the Russian economy would be able to withstand the โ€˜economic powerโ€™ of NATO," Todd said.

He is certain that the United States is in a phase of long-term decline and, against the backdrop of its waning influence in the world, it has decided to press for greater influence in its "original protectorates," acquired after World War II, in other words, Europe and Japan. Against this background the European economyโ€™s collapse, the expert notes, is fraught with great risks for the United States itself.

"If the Russian economy offers long-term resistance to sanctions and manages to bleed the European economy white and manages to survive with Chinese support, US monetary control of the world will collapse, and with it, the USโ€™ ability to finance its mammoth trade deficit for next to nothing. This war has become existential for the United States. It cannot get out of the conflict before Russia. They cannot let go. This explains why we are now in an open-ended war, in a confrontation that is bound to result in the collapse of one side or the other," Todd says.

Economic and social problems

The conflict in Ukraine "leads to a real economy that allows for gauging the real wealth of states and their productive capacity," the expert states. In particular, he points to a two-fold increase in Russiaโ€™s wheat production after the first major sanctions were introduced in 2014, as well as Russia's leading position in building nuclear power plants, not only at home, but also abroad.

The outcome of the conflict "will depend on the ability of both systems to produce weapons," Todd believes. The historian notes that the transition to a war of attrition reduces the influence of advanced US military technologies, being used by Ukraine. It brings to the forefront the availability of skilled personnel, material resources and industrial potential. "At this point the Westโ€™s fundamental problem of globalization begins to intervene: we have moved so many industries [from our territory] that we donโ€™t know now whether our military plants will be able to maintain the desired production pace," he added.

In addition to natural and industrial resources the expert notes the great role of human resources and education. He points to the United Statesโ€™ more than twofold advantage over Russia in population, but advises his readership to remember that in the United States only 7% of students master engineering professions, while in Russia there are about 25% of them, which ultimately gives Russia a competitive edge. "The United States is filling this gap with foreign students, mostly Indians and even to a greater extent, Chinese. This substitution resource is unreliable, though, and is already dwindling," he said.

Wagner boss shrugs off US State Departmentโ€™s remarks about PMC

The US newspaper Politico claimed on Monday that the Washington administration was stepping up the collection of data regarding the activities of PMC Wagner, including those supposedly underway in Serbia and the Central African Republic

The founder of Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has said that statements by US Department of State officials about the military company do not bother him at all.

"You know, I'm not really worried about US actions," he said in response to a request from the RTVI television channel for a comment on statements by US Department of State adviser Derek Chollet to the effect Wagner PMC activities were worrying Washington and the US was working to neutralize them. Prigozhin's press-service made his reaction public on its Telegram channel on Friday.

A video of Ukrainian soldiers moving under heavy fire from Wagner artillery in the village of Krasnaya Gora (Krasna Hora), north of Bakhmut (Artemovsk), has been published. 

The Ukrainians are retreating along Pervomayskaya Street (48.664497, 38.015041) towards the landing on the northern outskirts of the settlement. 
Recall that already yesterday the  General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported fierce fighting for Paraskoviyivka, which is next to Krasnaya Gora.

CNN : The significance of Soledar in military terms is minimal.

However, its capture allows Russian forces, and especially the Wagner group, to turn their focus on nearby Bakhmut, a key target.

A CNN team just outside of Soledar reports ongoing mortar and rocket fire there. Ben Wedeman and team, positioned approximately 2.5 miles from the city, are seeing Ukrainian forces ferry troops out, in what appears to be a fairly organized pull-back. There is no sense of panic among Ukrainian troops, Wedeman says.( But yesterday CNN interviewed a Ukrainian soldier who said that his unit has been abandoned and soldiers have no water or food. He also said that they were trying to leave on their own but they couldn't as the Wagnerians were already there https://t.me/Slavyangrad/28638)

Was the victory in Soledar stolen from the Wagner PMC, or were there joint activities between the Defense Ministry and PMCs?

The head of the "League for the Protection of the Interests of Veterans of Local Wars and Military Conflicts," Andrey Troshev, said:

"I read with surprise the summary of the Ministry of Defense. https://t.me/Slavyangrad/28713 There was not a single paratrooper in Soledar; the paratroopers themselves confirm it. Soledar was taken solely by the efforts of the PMC "Wagner." And there is no need to insult the fighters by degrading their merits. You demotivate them with it. It is necessary to fight, not to compete, and steal someone else's merits.

Yevgeny Prigozhin commented on the difference between the Defense Ministry's reports on Soledar and his words:

"All of your questions certainly pay homage to the fighters who participated in the heroic capture of Soledar. And these questions will certainly need answers, but not now. The boat is rocking as it is. I respect your attention, but I hope you understand why I've been silent.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑIsrael agrees to transfer missile and drone warning technology to Ukraine.

The Ukrainian ambassador to Israel said that an agreement had been reached with the Israeli side on the transfer of warning technologies for missiles and drones to Kyiv.

๐Ÿ“ In an interview with Ukrinform, he noted that technologies have been officially transferred to Kyiv.

๐Ÿ“ "I think that after a while we will get it completely," said Korniychuk.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that the country would not supply weapons to Ukraine for a number of operational reasons.

โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธTitanium wars: Americans block Russian titanium supplies

One of Africa's largest airlines, Kenya Airways, has reported that it is experiencing flight disruptions due to problems related to acquiring the titanium parts and aircraft components it needs to maintain its aircraft, which were supplied from the Russian market.

๐Ÿ“"This has limited aircraft availability because we don't have any spare planes, whose use could help reduce delays." "These problems are global and affect not only Kenya Airways, but all airlines around the world," said Kenya Airways CEO Allan Kilavuka.

โ—๏ธ A little bit of Russia is in every Boeing-produced airplane.
๐—…‡๏ธFor example, 100% of the titanium used by Brazilian airline Embraer and 35% of the titanium used by Boeing comes from Russia. 

โ—๏ธNow airlines had to look all over the world for the titanium parts they needed (titanium is used in the manufacture of aircraft landing gear, engines, and airframes).

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The main difference between today's Russia and the country in the 1990s is its unity," Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

๐Ÿ‘”The country is united, and this was not taken into account by the West, which was counting on the destruction of Russia.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ From the centre to the farthest national republics, the entire population of our fatherland is interested in unity, while separatism flourished in the 1990s, political analysts explain after Putin's visit to Ufa recently.

๐Ÿ“ "It is again a question of Russia resisting any form of outside influence, attempts to launch forces that will lead to the disintegration of the country." Healthy nationalism is present today, but the relationship between the Center and the national republics is quite different. And this system was built by Putin quite successfully. "He has found a balance [in relations between Moscow and the republics]," says independent political scientist Anna Luneva.

โ—๏ธ๐Ÿช–๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ It will take about five years for the Pentagon to restore stockpiles of weapons and ammunition that have dried up due to assistance to Ukraine.

This follows from a study by a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), retired US Marine Corps Colonel Mark Kanchian.

๐Ÿ“"For Javelin complexes and artillery depots of 155-mm shells, taking into account investments, it will take five years; for Stinger MANPADS, six," the forecast says.
At the same time, as the expert notes, at the same rate of production, military companies will not be able to restore the required level of strategic reserves.
