Russia claims they destroyed an Ukrainian storage facility, located in the underground parking of a shopping center, resulting in massive secondary explosions, but ukraine claims the targets were civilians and had no military purpose.
Both sides have stepped up the use of suicide drones, long range rockets and missiles as well as newly developed remote controlled armored vehicles mainly focused on targeting bunkers and soldiers.
There are no sign of talks about ending this bloody conflict and both sides spreading propaganda and lie about their progress or "enemy" losses. It's impossible to know what to believe, but the material and human losses on the both sides are significant including many civilians caught in between.
#Russia called the French ambassador for an explanation: The dead French in Kharkiv were members of the regular French Army - They were not mercenaries... 19/01/24
Direct French involvement in the war - Russia hardens its stance
Russia- #France relations are showing a sharp deterioration after the Russian strike on a mercenary base in Kharkiv, which killed more than 60 and injured at least 20 soldiers.
Moscow today summoned the French ambassador to the foreign ministry for an explanation regarding the unprecedented number of dead French soldiers in Kharkiv.
Moscow considers that these are soldiers of the regular French #Army, officers, special forces, advisers, etc., who were sent on behalf of the French government. This also explains their large number in a specific location in #Kharkiv and not on the front lines of the war.
"Bomb" Ritter: Not all the French killed in Kharkiv were mercenaries
The strike on a building in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Tuesday (16/1/2024) resulted in the death of 60 mercenaries — mostly of French nationality.
The presence of armed Frenchmen in Ukraine's second-largest city has sparked speculation about who they are working for, Scott Ritter, a former CIA officer and former UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik. The American expert drops a real bombshell saying that not all French soldiers were mercenaries.
It essentially reveals the direct involvement of the West in the battles with the Russian forces, which comes as a result, among other things, of the scarcity of the Ukrainian army, but also of the great impact that a defeat in #Ukraine's #proxy #war will have for #NATO.

Ukraine war: At least 51 killed in Russian missile attack in Kharkiv
#Russia massing 100,000 troops for attack on #Kharkiv to draw Ukrainians away from counter-offensive
— 'Russia is building a force of 100,000 soldiers to attack the northern sector of the frontline as Ukrainian commanders start to admit that their counter-offensive has stalled.
Col Serhi Cherevaty, a Ukrainian army spokesman, said that Russia had also ordered Storm-Z ex-convict battalions to prepare for battle and was firing more than 500 shells per day at Ukrainian forces around #Kupyansk.
“The enemy has concentrated a very powerful group,” he said. “More than 100,000 personnel, more than 900 tanks, more than 550 artillery systems and 370 rocket salvo systems.”
Kupyansk is a town in the northeastern #Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Ukrainian forces recaptured the town, which previously had a population of 25,000 people, in September last year."

Washington Post article from December last year had a section about Ukraine planning to blow up the Kakhobskaya dam to drench the Russian forces and to help open up the road for Ukraine to be able to attack Russian sources from multiple front
But hey, who knows history or even bothers to remember such an ancient story.
Look forward, listen to the Hollywood start Mr. Z and stand firm against evil Putin. Be a true patriot.

By the way, a recommendation from me -- #Ostriv is a really good #Ukrainian village builder (or city builder).
Pretty awesome for an indie game. Quite far from finished but pretty enjoyable with a great attention to historical details. The engine is written from scratch just for the game.

#Ukraine: military endangering civilians by locating forces in residential areas - new research | #Amnesty International UK
(I am waiting for #Zelensky to call AI for Putin influenced and put them on enemy list)
#UkraineWar #Politics #Russia
The Ukrainian military has endangered Ukrainian civilians by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in residential areas - including in schools and hospitals - as it has sought to repel the Russian invasion, Amnesty International said today.
Ukraine’s tactics have violated international humanitarian law as they’ve turned civilian objects into military targets. The ensuing Russian strikes in populated areas have killed civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure.
Not every Russian attack documented by Amnesty has followed this pattern. In certain locations in which Amnesty concluded that Russia had committed war crimes - including in some areas of the city of #Kharkiv - Amnesty did not find evidence of Ukrainian forces located in civilian areas unlawfully targeted by the Russian military.
Russia says it has destroyed HIMARS, Harpoon systems in Ukraine: Report
#Russia’s defence ministry says its forces have destroyed two United States-made #HIMARS rocket systems in #Ukraine’s northeastern #Kharkiv region, and a launch system for Harpoon anti-ship missiles in the southwestern #Odesa region, according to a report by the country’s Interfax news agency.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine on the Russian defence ministry’s latest claim. #Al azeera was unable to independently verify the ministry’s report.
#Kyiv has hailed the HIMARS systems as a possible game changer for the course of the war. The advanced weapons are more precise and offer a longer range than other artillery systems, allowing Ukraine’s forces to strike Russian targets and weapons depots further behind the front lines.
