Video Summary
Operator Starski here, reporting on day 656 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This morning, at 4:00 a.m., the Russian forces launched ballistic missiles at Kiev, with the air defense reacting quickly to intercept eight missiles, resulting in no hits in the capital city. However, several houses were damaged due to fallen debris, and four citizens were injured in the eastern outskirts of Kiev. The Russian forces lost over 1,000 troops, 19 tanks, and 31 armored vehicles due to failed attacks, which were met with fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces.
The situation remains challenging along the frontlines, but Ukrainian troops have made gains in certain areas, including Bahmut and Avdeevka. The Russian forces have also suffered losses, with demoralized soldiers recording desperate videos from the front lines, describing their dire circumstances. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian people are preparing for the Christmas holidays, with trees set up in cities like Kiev and Mariupol, where the Russian forces committed atrocities in 2022. Despite the horrors of war, the Ukrainian spirit remains unbroken, and we wish you a safe and peaceful day.
