❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Highlights of Russian Military Operation in Ukraine on December 19, 2022

▪️Ukrainian units continue to strike at the border areas in the Belgorod region.

The village of Krasnaya Yaruga and of Pankov were shelled. Power lines were damaged in Shebekino: thousands of residents were left without electricity.

▪️In Kursk region, Ukrainian units launched nine mortar strikes on the village of Elizavetovka.

As a result, private houses were partially destroyed and the gas pipeline was damaged. No casualties.

▪️Despite all attempts to strengthen the capital's air defense, Russian drones Geran-2 struck energy facilities in Kyiv once again.

According to preliminary reports, the kamikaze drones struck the Nivki power substation.

▪️In the Lysychansk sector, the Russian forces' offensive has actually stopped: the fighting has entered a positional phase.

The Ukrainian command is trying hard to hold the defenses at the line Bilohorivka - Verkhn'okam'yans'ke - Spyrne.

▪️Bakhmut remains one of the hottest spots on the front line. The Wagner’s PMC units continue to press the enemy into the urban areas.

At the same time, the battles for Opytne and Pidhorodne are underway. Their capture will facilitate encircling the city from the flanks.

▪️An antiaircraft unit of the DPR People’s Militia 11th Regiment hit a Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter near Donetsk.

The aircraft was most likely hit while exiting the attack and went down in a wooded area near Pervomais'ke.

▪️In Marinka, Russian forces are steadily advancing westward despite the AFU’s recent flank counterattack.

There are reports of a successful advance in the center of the city, where the Ukrainian forces’ main defensive fortifications were located.
