The main event of the day was Russia’s latest use of the Oreshnik missile system. On the night of January 9, Russia launched a combined missile and drone strike against targets in Ukraine.
Around 1 a.m., the Oreshnik missile system hit the Lviv region. The target was Bilche-Volitsko-Ugerskoye, the largest gas storage facility in Europe. The facility holds approximately 17 billion cubic meters of gas, about half of Ukraine’s total reserves. According to reports from Lviv regional authorities, most settlements have no gas pressure in their pipes after the attack. A large fire is burning at the site where the missile landed. Ukrainian monitoring resources report that the Oreshnik warhead traveled at speeds of up to 13,000 km/h.
The second target of the combined attack was Kyiv and the surrounding region. Up to 12 Iskander missiles, 25 Kalibr missiles, and at least 200 Geran-2 drones were fired at military and energy facilities. A fire was reported at the impact site, and flashes were visible at Ukraine’s most powerful thermal power plant TPP-6, as well as at TPP-4 and TPP-5.
Meanwhile, the situation on the fronts of the Ukrainian conflict remains difficult. Intense fighting continues in key areas.
There is ongoing active fighting south of Kupyansk. Ukrainian troops have regained control of Peschanoye, a town they had abandoned a few days earlier. Ukrainian units also achieved tactical success further north.
In turn, the Russian army expanded its zone of control north of Tabayevka. Then, the assault units broke through to Podoly, achieving significant success. Heavy fighting continues for control of the settlement. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces east of the city are threatened by an encirclement.
Near Liman, Russian units advanced on the northern section of the front. Advance groups broke through to Svyatogorsk. Fighting is now underway for the settlement.
In Kostyantynovka, Russian army assault units continue to advance in the southeastern part of the city. By January 9, the advance groups had taken up positions on Bratyev Kotelnikov Street.
Russian troops are also advancing in the Dnipropetrovsk region. On January 8, they captured the village of Bratskoye. It is currently difficult to determine the Russian command’s intentions. The troops may move in either a northern or western direction. The most likely direction is northwest, toward Novonikolaevka.
The Russian Federation has demonstrated how it might respond to terrorist attacks on Vladimir Putin’s residence by the Kiev regime. Today’s strike could potentially destroy up to half of Ukraine’s gas reserves.
Kupyansk remains the hottest spot on the front lines. The battle for the city and the region has been ongoing for quite some time. Whoever runs out of reserves first will lose the battle.

hell yeah. kaputt is coming to the clown and the kiev junta. yippee ki yay, mutter frackers.
no. you don’t pay attention ukraine will not submit to russia will not surrender any territory. their constitution forbids it set up in anticipation obviously of the whole entrapment which is going precisely to the intended plan.
no big deal, they can all just get killed at the front or run away to the eu and be a problem there. ukrop love eu welfare so its just a matter of time anyhow.
americunt anon inferior species
it’s convenient how they turn off the internet isn’t it? in the areas allegedly under attack. i’ll bet the drug sales carry on though.
americunt needs internet to find transgender sodomy escort
course, and yes naturally the isps are all in on it all. can’t have independent people sending videos to the “free world” not allowed no freedom of the press permitted to expose anything they want hidden.
just like in 1930s nazi europe the world was supposed to believe no journalists, or anyone at all could send photos of persecution of jews, because of some “cone of silence” magical operation that cut off phones and telegrams and mail services. as if.
a rússia capturou um sistema patriot americano inteiro em summy e o levou para análises de engenharia reversa. glória a ti mãe rússia.
yeah sure and santa’s coming too.
this all started when trump abandoned the medium range missile treaty with russia. the fact than russia did not load the warheads with explosive devices shows patience and determination. no location in europe can defend this. zelenski will need a saw and axe to chop firewood. how much natural gas does ukraine have left?
absolute total load of the biggest nonsense imaginable but typical anti american propaganda. imo
inferior americunt species tremble tantrum desperately
keep going, donroe australopitecus!
we invent new buttplug in amerika—we #1 transgender innovation
this demonstration is a fraud, much like the red lines that were actually pink: a hypersonic missile without a warhead reaches its destination, but if we load the warhead it will burn up on the way?
