Pentagon recommends Zelenskyy retreat from Bakhmut and abandons attempts to retake Soledar
Ukrainian channels quoted its sources in the presidential office as saying that the Pentagon supported Zelenskyy's call to give up Soledar, which is now under Russian control. Additionally, according to the sources, the US Defence Department recommended Zaluskyy not sacrifice the Ukrainian Armed Forces' reserves to retake the lost city under its control and withdraw troops from Bakhmut.
We shall remind you that earlier, during a report on the situation in Soledar, Zelenskyy reported about the failure of three attempts of the Ukrainian armed forces to counterattack Soledar. The Western press also acknowledged the retreat of Ukrainian troops from the city, yet the Ukrainian president continued to deny the loss of Soledar hypocritically.

Friendly fire in Dnipropetrovsk: why Ukraine's air defense continues to destroy residential buildings. A breakdown of the reasons from Readovka Explains
Today, some of the largest "retaliatory strikes" were carried out on Ukrainian territory. Once again, the targets of the Russian missile attacks were the infrastructure of a non-independent country. Arrivals were recorded in many oblasts, and an air alert was declared throughout Ukraine. In contrast to the morning strikes on Kiev, the evening salvo was carried out with the already familiar Kalibr and X-101 cruise missiles.
Once again, the Ukrainian air defense system distinguished itself by hitting a residential building in Dnipropetrovsk. The damage to the building was so severe that it is almost certain that there was a secondary detonation (possibly a domestic gas explosion). Neither the air defense missile nor a Russian cruise missile could have caused such fatal damage - a span of the building collapsed.
Official Kiev's silence about the cause of the explosion also suggests that it was a Ukrainian missile that caused the tragedy. Moreover, this is not the first, second, or even third time that Ukraine's air defense has hit its own houses or Polish collective farms. What is the reason for such misses?
They are traditionally several. Firstly, cruise missiles fly at extremely low altitudes, and missile launches from urban areas automatically turn residential buildings into potential targets. A way out would be to create rings of air defenses around cities, but Ukraine lacks the systems to provide such safe protection. Second, it should not be forgotten that the backbone of Ukrainian air defense is still Soviet missile systems with expired missiles, which makes the probability of failure when flying over residential areas very high.

Ukraine's DTEK acknowledged hitting two TPPs during the missile attack but did not specify which ones, while the energy minister said facilities in six regions were hit
Ukraine's largest privately owned vertically integrated energy company stated today's missile attack, saying two thermal power plants were hit. However, for some reason, it did not want to name them.
Considering how many regions of Ukraine have already admitted hitting critical infrastructure - Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, and Odessa - there are not a few options. For example, it could also be the Ladyzhyn TPP in the Vinnitsa region, which has been targeted by Russian missiles repeatedly since October.
Meanwhile, the head of the Ukrainian Energy Ministry, Halushchenko, announced that energy facilities in five Ukrainian regions and the Kiev-controlled part of the Zaporizhzhia Region had been hit at once. The official also said that there were emergency blackouts in most areas and that "the next days in the energy sector will be difficult."

The dead are turned...turned dead...turned...into missing persons!
Altogether, in one month of active combat operations, the AFU battalion had lost 338 people killed or wounded.

Interesting ...2 to 1 wounded: killed ratio. Later, by pencil is changed the number of dead to just 10. The rest of the dead are MIA. Original 123 dead, 215 wounded. After the intervention, just ten dead, lol

A picture published by Ukraine's DTEK shows large-scale destruction in one of the Kyiv thermal power plants after today's massive Russian attack. The turbine hall and the power unit as a whole were damaged (or destroyed).

Dark Ukrainian night: Dnepropetrovsk plunged into darkness after today's shelling.
Atmospheric footage comes from a de-energized Dnepropetrovsk, where a critical energy infrastructure was hit today. Apparently , one of the strategically important thermal power plants was damaged (or destroyed).

Attack by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the Burshtyn TPP.
During today's massive strike, the Russian Armed Forces hit several energy infrastructure facilities. After a while, a photo of the consequences of one of the arrivals appeared on the network.
Based on the characteristic U-shaped supports and their location, our team determined that the Burshtyn TPP in the Ivano—Frankivsk region was in the frame.
Judging by the picture, the missiles hit the turbine hall of the station. At least three of the station's 12 generators have been destroyed, and damage to the building itself and the technical pipes and steam pipelines make it difficult to operate the rest.
Coordinates: 49.2106960, 24.6661010
In this case, it can actually be argued that the Burshtyn TPP is out of order. Indirectly, these assumptions are confirmed by the message from the Ukrainian company DTEK that, after today's attack by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, one of the power plants stopped generating energy.
What else is remarkable about the blow to the Burshtyn TPP?
This is the second case of damage to turbine halls: with the exception of December arrivals at the Dnieper TPP in Zaporozhye, the targets of previous attacks were autotransformers.
At the Burshtyn TPP, it was also possible to regulate the power on the turbines by a rapid change of speed depending on the change in consumption. This made it possible to keep a balance in the energy systems of both the western and central parts of the country.
Therefore, the decommissioning of the largest thermal power plant in the region will critically affect the energy supply not only of Transcarpathia, but also of other neighbouring regions.
