Slava Ukraini.
Apparently some of the A50 are in peices waiting for parts,so id say theyve only got 2 in working order..3 days since a Russian vessel has entered the Black Sea.
10 days since a Russian A-50 has been airbourne......they have 6 left.
Heroyam Slava.

From "The Analyst":
FRONTLINE UPDATE
The northern front continues to be the site of running and often intense but localised battles in which neither side gains a specific advantage. Russia continues to probe in force at areas along the front.
The continuous assertion that there is this force of 100k Russian troops in the region just waiting to attack, keeps coming back but there’s never been any real evidence that this is true. If they were there why haven’t they been used? There’s been plenty of opportunities to do so.
On the Bakhmut front the Russians have made small gains into Ivaniske against strong opposition.
Above Ivanivske there is a notable area of high ground and the Russians are making efforts to approach this from its ‘easy’ side in the north, an area that’s very open and hard to defend. If they gain the heights then they dominate what goes on in the town to the south of them and it’s pretty much game over for the defenders. This is a key area on the way to attacking Chasiv Yar directly.
If Ivaniske falls then so will Kliesheivka as that will be faced with being taken from behind as they advance south. The entire area is not easy to defend and yet geographically it’s a big chunk of land Ukraine won’t want to just give up on. Besides which their aim is to attrit the Russians as much as possible.
Since the withdrawal from Avdivka the front lines have straightened out across the neck of the salient and seem to have stabilised.
Further south Russian forces continue to make small gains in Krasnohorivka and Marinka.
Another area that is suffering constant attrition from Russian advances is the Robotyne salient captured last year during the abortive summer offensive. As I predicted in the autumn, this salient is just an invitation to attack and that’s what the Russians are doing. Slowly but surely they push at the sides and slice off small pieces. They have done this so much over the past months they have taken back all of the Surovikin line trenches for what they’re worth.
Krynky continues to be a huge thorn in Russia’s side. Its tiny enclave has been deeply destructive to Russian troops and operations in the area. Losses of men and material, utterly demoralised Russian forces who complain constantly, have been kept at bay. The Ukrainians have successfully suppressed Russian operations to such a degree it’s become almost a no-go zone that’s considered a one way street to the morgue.
The missile attack on President Zelensky and the Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis seems to have been an opportunistic launch. The missile was an Iskander fired from Crimea so there was no warning time as its flight time would have been no more than three to four minutes. There were casualties at the point of impact some 400m away.
The Greeks were signing another security and cooperation agreement with Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini!
