火与暴风雪正在摧毁波科夫斯克后方的所有乌克兰村庄
Fire and Snowstorms Are Devastating All the Ukrainian Villages Behind Pokrovsk

Zelene, Donetsk – The last eight Russian tanks were destroyed between last night and this morning. The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed them with drones, mines, and shoulder-fired devices after Moscow launched yet another mechanized offensive on what remains of Pokrovsk. At least a third of Russian attempts to break through the front have long been focused on this flank, while on the northern one Moscow’s orders are to test Ukrainian defenses at as many points as possible to identify weak points to attack.
Thus, in recent hours, the occupying forces have attempted to make a breakthrough toward Vovchansk, Vovchaskyj Kutor, Hrafske, Zybyne, and then Kruhle and Dehtiarne. In Kharkiv and Sumy, mainly in Myropillia, small Russian infantry units continue to attack Ukrainian positions, suffering losses that force them to retreat. According to Vadym Karpiak, the spokesman for the 8th Special Forces Corps of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the goal of these assaults is to create a buffer zone.
In other words, this means extending the front into disruptive areas where they can continue to attack, not so much to gain ground as to distract Ukrainian defenses from Pokrovsk and other areas of Donbas from which I wrote my latest dispatches.
In the last 24 hours, the Ukrainian Joint Forces Group has thus recorded 21 Russian breakthrough attempts on the northern flank, including those areas from which the occupiers had already been repelled, such as Kupiansk, Velyky Burlutsk, and Lyman.
Here in Donetsk, the Russian artillery never sleeps: despite temperatures already dropping below 25 degrees Celsius, day and night, fire and snowstorms are devastating all the Ukrainian villages behind Pokrovsk, including Zelene, now almost disappeared from the map. Ukraine is resisting despite lacking the firepower to match its enemy’s, but is drawing on every available resource.
Ammunition arrives from the West in fits and starts, in quantities not even remotely comparable to those produced by Moscow or received from its partners.
Despite being overwhelmed by that artillery barrage and a deluge of glide bombs (the Moscow Air Force continues to drop over 1,500 a week), the Ukrainian defense forces continue to grind up an impressive amount of Russian cannon fodder. This amount now far exceeds what the Kremlin manages to collect from as many as 128 countries.
The Ukrainian strategic objective remains the same, now also quantified by the new Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov as «fifty thousand Russians per month». Without mincing words, Fedorov, referring to the military losses Ukraine intends to inflict on the enemy to turn the war around, thus established Ukraine’s military roadmap for 2026. As data released by British intelligence and President Zelensky himself show, Ukraine is already close to this objective, having neutralized 43,000 enemy soldiers in December.
Due to these massive losses, Moscow is now transferring its best paratrooper units to different parts of the front – such as Orikhiv and Huliaypole – and plans to further increase the production of long-range drones. Enough to launch a thousand of them against Ukraine per day by 2026, according to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyy. One of those drones, another “Gerbera,” was found on the morning of January 17 near the village of Nuc?reni in the Moldovan county of Telene?ti.
The growing sense is that if Ukraine had received the support it deserved, this war would have been over long ago.
The continuous blackouts severely damaged the heating system of our house in Western Ukraine while we were here in Donbas.
Without electricity, the pump couldn’t circulate the liquid while the fire was lit. As a result, the system caught fire, and the whole house was at risk of burning. Fortunately, it did not, but the whole system needs to be changed, and the house needs to be restored. Tubes are all bent, walls are blackened by haze, and the heating system doesn’t work, requiring an entirely new system.
We are doing our best since Alla’s parents live there, but there’s still a lot to work on here, too, as the people around us are in no better situation.
We’re renewing our fundraising campaign and thanking everyone who joins to help us restore what Russia is destroying. Even a small donation helps. We’ll keep you updated on developments.
Thank you all, friends

乌克兰前线报道
泽莱内，顿涅茨克州——昨夜至今晨之间，最后八辆俄军坦克被摧毁。在莫斯科对最后一部分波科夫斯克再次发动机械化进攻后，乌克兰武装部队使用无人机、地雷和肩扛武器将其击毁。长期以来，俄军约三分之一的突围尝试集中在这一侧翼，而在北侧，莫斯科的命令是尽可能多地点测试乌方防线，以找出薄弱环节予以打击。
因此，近日数小时内，俄占军试图向沃夫昌斯克、沃夫昌斯克伊·库托尔、赫拉夫斯克、兹比内，随后是克鲁赫雷与德赫季亚尔内方向突破。在哈尔科夫与苏梅，主要在米羅皮利亞一带，小规模俄步兵部队持续攻击乌方阵地，但遭受损失后被迫撤退。乌军第8特种部队军团发言人瓦迪姆·卡尔皮亚克表示，这些突袭的目标是制造缓冲区。
换言之，这意味着将战线扩展至可持续发动攻击的割裂区域，目的不是单纯夺取更多阵地，而是分散乌方对波科夫斯克及我最近报道的顿巴斯其他地区的防御注意力。

在过去24小时内，乌克兰联合部队在北侧翼已记录了21次俄军突围尝试，包括那些此前占领者已被击退的地区，如库皮扬斯克、韦利基·布爾魯茨克与利曼。
在顿涅茨克这里，俄方炮火从未止息：尽管气温已降至零下25摄氏度以下，昼夜间炮火与暴风雪正在摧毁波科夫斯克后方的所有乌克兰村庄，包括几乎从地图上消失的泽莱内。乌克兰尽管在火力上无法与敌方匹敌，仍在坚持抵抗，并动用了所有可用资源。
来自西方的弹药零零星星到达，其数量与莫斯科自产或从其盟友处获得的数量根本无法相提并论。
尽管被压倒性的炮火和倾泻的滑翔炸弹（莫斯科空军每周仍投下超过1500枚）压的喘不过气，乌方防御部队仍然消耗了大量俄方炮灰，这一数量如今远超克里姆林宫能从多达128国处筹集的兵力。

乌克兰的战略目标保持不变，新任国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫并且将其量化为“每月五万名俄军”。费多罗夫直言不讳，指乌方拟对敌方造成的军事损失以扭转战局，由此确立了乌克兰2026年的军事路线图。英方情报机构及泽连斯基总统本人披露的数据表明，乌克兰已接近这一目标，12月歼灭了约4.3万名敌兵。
由于这些巨大损失，莫斯科正将其精锐伞兵单位部署到前线不同部分——如奧里希夫與胡利艾波萊——并计划进一步扩大远程无人机的产量。乌克兰武装部队總司令奧列克珊德爾·西爾斯基称，至2026年，俄方足以每日对乌发射上千架此类无人机。1月17日上午，在摩尔多瓦特勒內什季县努察賴尼村附近发现了其中一架无人机，又一架“芙蓉花”。
越来越多的人明白，若乌克兰早得其应得的支援，这场战争早就终结了。

持续的停电严重损坏了我们在乌克兰西部的家中的供暖系统，而我们当时就在顿巴斯。
没有电，点着的炉火无法通过水泵循环热水。结果，系统起火，整个房子面临着烧毁的风险。幸而未被烧毁，但整个系统需要更换，房子也需要修复。管道都是歪的，墙壁被烟雾熏黑，供暖系统无法正常工作，需要彻底更换。
我们正在尽最大努力，因为Alla的父母住在那里，但这里还有许多工作要做，周围的人处境也好不到哪儿去。
我们正在重启筹款活动，感谢每一位支持我们修复被俄罗斯摧毁一切的朋友。即使是小额捐款也有帮助。我们会及时更新进展。
感谢大家，朋友们。
如果你相信我们的工作，请支持我们
在过去的三年里，我们一直在乌克兰战争的各个前线进行报道……
