Russian Losses
- 630 liquidated Russian personnel, higher than previous days
- 11 tanks and 9 APVs lost, which is unsustainable for Russia
- 29 artillery systems and 4 MLRS lost
- 3 anti-aircraft warfare systems lost, continuing a bad week for Russian air defence
- 14 drones, 13 vehicles/fuel tanks, and 5 special equipment pieces lost
- The degradation of Russian forces is relentless and part of Ukraine's strategy
Asymmetric Warfare
- Ukraine is using asymmetric advantages like smart munitions (e.g. Bonus rounds) fired from artillery like the AHS Krab to take out Russian tanks
- They are also using the Stugna-P ATGM targeting system to guide self-propelled howitzer laser-guided munitions
- A UK-provided Mastiff MRAP hit a mine, but the crew survived, highlighting the ongoing issue of mines for Ukraine's counteroffensive
Russian Journalist Killed
- Russian military correspondent Rostislav Zhuravlev died from injuries, supposedly from a cluster submunition explosion
- However, this claim is doubted, and he was likely killed by counter-battery fire while embedded with Russian MLRS units
- There is little sympathy, as Russian journalists have been seen directly assisting the military, making them indistinguishable from soldiers
Ukrainian Interdiction Campaign
- Ukrainian officials state their interdiction campaign is successfully degrading Russian logistics and counter-battery capabilities
- Around 90% of Russian losses are from Ukrainian missile and artillery units
- Ukraine has changed strategy to attrit Russians from a distance to minimize their own losses before moving to take territory
Odesa Strikes
- Odesa has been hit for three nights in a row, targeting grain storage and export infrastructure
- Residential areas, cultural sites, and a cathedral have been hit, which UNESCO condemns as war crimes
- 19 missiles were fired, with Ukraine intercepting 9 Kalibr and Iskander-K missiles, but struggling against Kh-22 and Onyx anti-ship missiles
- President Zelenskyy vows retaliation for the "Russian evil" and terrorist attacks on Odesa
- The historic Transfiguration Cathedral was badly damaged, with irreplaceable artifacts lost
Crimea Strikes
- Ukrainian loitering munitions destroyed a Russian oil depot and ammunition depot in Crimea used by the Black Sea Fleet
- Storm Shadow missiles are making Crimea a "logistical desert" for Russian ammo depots
- A JDAM strike on a Russian communications node near Bakhmut killed over 200 soldiers according to a survivor's account
Other News
- Another mysterious death of a top Russian manager, Anton Cherepinovkov (40), owner of a company providing wiretapping services to Russian law enforcement
- The Crimean Railway was suspended, likely due to Ukrainian strikes, forcing Russia to use roads to transport equipment which is more vulnerable
