Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to unfold, with new developments including a significant blow to Russia’s military capabilities. A critical bridge connecting Russia to Crimea has been damaged, with one section collapsing into the ocean and another train carrying fuel exploding. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility, but Russian authorities are pointing fingers at Ukraine. The article discusses the implications of this attack, noting that Ukraine needs to cut off Russia’s supply lines to Crimea, and speculates about who might be responsible, considering it’s a divisive topic.

Additionally, the article touches on the Russian military’s struggles, including the poor condition of their infrastructure and equipment. A Russian S-300 air defense system was seen falling off the back of a truck, showing the state of Russia’s maintenance and safety standards. The article also notes that China has been criticizing Russia’s performance in Ukraine, with a Chinese social media post branding Russia as a “weak goose.”

In other news, the mayor of Saint Petersburg has canceled Christmas celebrations, instead urging people to send supplies to mobilized soldiers. However, there have been reports that these supplies may not reach the front lines due to corruption and inefficiency within the Russian military.

The article also mentions the mobilization of Russian men, with some regions promising to reward new recruits with food, livestock, and vegetables. The government is also trying to motivate soldiers with promises of steady income and patriotism. However, many are criticizing the war, including a Dagestani man who spoke out against the leadership’s sons fighting in Ukraine while others are forced to go.

Two Russian men have also fled to Alaska, seeking asylum in the United States. Frustrations with the war and mobilization have been mounting, with reports of criticism against Russian military leaders and potential replacements, although this is unlikely to solve the problems within the Russian military.

Finally, a poll conducted in the United States has shown that 73% of Americans support continuing to support Ukraine, up from 66% just a month earlier, which is a blow to Russia’s plan to freeze the conflict and wait for public opinion to turn against Ukraine.
