Zarichne. Active combat area. Mission: deliver supplies and evacuate two wounded soldiers. The situation was extremely challenging — a blurred front line and constant enemy aerial reconnaissance. During the operation, the enemy detected our UGV and made several attempts to strike it with FPV drones and small-arms fire. The “Termit” armor held up, and maneuvering helped avoid direct hits. The cargo was delivered to the positions. Due to intense enemy activity, evacuating the wounded at that moment was impossible. Later, the soldiers managed to withdraw on their own. No equipment losses. The work continues.

Soldiers of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade released footage from Kostiantynivka showing widespread destruction. One photo shows a civilian who attempted to leave the city by bicycle. According to the brigade, he was killed by a Russian FPV drone strike.

Elimination of two occupiers in the Pokrovsk direction

A time-lapse published by the YouTube channel AstronautiCAST shows Russian missile strikes on Kyiv filmed from aboard the International Space Station during the night of December 26–27. The compilation, recorded by an ISS camera, captures the flight paths of ballistic missiles and the operation of Ukrainian air defense systems over the capital and surrounding region. The footage shows both successful interceptions and visible impacts in Kyiv and near the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant. In the final seconds of the video, two ballistic targets are successfully intercepted.

Occupied and stripped of life, Bakhmut now stands in total devastation. The city has been reduced to ruins — streets erased, buildings shattered, entire neighborhoods flattened. Places where children once played, families celebrated, and couples planned their future have been turned into lifeless debris. What was once a living, breathing community is now a symbol of the war’s destruction — a city nearly wiped from the face of the earth.

What remains of the village of Ivanivske in the Donetsk region. Harrowing footage captured by aerial reconnaissance units of the 5th Separate Kyiv Assault Brigade. Before 2022, more than 2,000 people lived here. Today, not a single resident remains. Ruins. Ashes. Silence.

North of Pokrovsk, artillery of the 147th Artillery Brigade of the 7th Air Assault Corps stopped an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group that tried to use poor weather to slip into the rear of Ukrainian positions. The strike resulted in a confirmed triple kill on the advancing group. According to preliminary reports, two more wounded soldiers crawled into nearby cover and were slowly making their final journey off the battlefield — their chances of survival were minimal.

Kurakhove, destroyed by the so-called Russian “liberators,” now stands as a ghost town. Snow-covered roads go uncleared, because almost no one is left to use them. Only a single car with “Khlebtorg” written across the windshield rushes through the empty streets, underlining how completely this city has been emptied by the war.

An FPV drone attack by Russian forces struck a group of civilians during a volunteer evacuation in Beryslav, Kherson Oblast. As a result of the strike, a 43-year-old man was killed, and three others were wounded. Due to constant Russian artillery surveillance and fire, the evacuation group was only able to leave the area after two and a half days. The incident highlights the extreme danger faced by civilians and volunteers during evacuations in frontline areas.
