While the fog of war is still thick surrounding this operation, it does appear that Russian forces were cleared out of multiple areas of the southern front in a similar manner that we've seen in Kupyansk, Dobropillia and elsewhere.Sourceshttps://x.com/Playfra0https://x.com/M0nstashttps://x...

Preston StewartUkraine Goes Behind Russian LinesCouple unique operations last few days by UkraineTruck fundraiser for 104th TD: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensiveToday we're looking at a few unique Ukrainian operations in different areas of the front. Near Pokrovsk, Omega went behind Russian lines to rescue one of their guys who was captured 27 days ago. Then near Kupyansk, K-2 used a UGV to transport a Russian POW to the rear. We take a look at some battlefield updates and a new tracker showing Ukraine aid in 2025.K-2 UGV video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJx0mhgfH4

Preston StewartRussia's Bad Week Just Got WorseTruck fundraiser for the 104th Brigade:https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive/Today we're looking into some recent developments in Ukraine where Russia seemingly has made a few bad decisions back to back. After losing Starlink it looks like Russian soldiers fell for a Ukrainian trap and submitted their location and data to the Ukrainian military and then Russia went after Telegram. These two together really opened the door for offensive operations in the southern direction.

Preston StewartNo Surrender: Russia Targets Their OwnWe've seen this a few times beforeTruck fundraiser for the 104th: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensiveEarlier today the Ukrainian 'I Want to Live" project published a video showing Russians targeting their own soldiers as they tried to surrender. While we can't verify from this clip with 100% confidence that's the case, it fits a pattern of Russia doing just this and does contradict Ukrainian goals of capturing as many Russian soldiers as possible. We also have some updates around the push near Zaporizhia and news that Russia is shutting down Telegram.Sources
