strikes against targets deep within Russia since the conclusion of the

US election. But before we get into the details of the latest strikes

over the weekend, let’s review how this started last week with the huge,

'multi-day’ targeting of Russia's Engels airbase infrastructure.

----------

At relatively short notice, we're organising two events in Ukraine in

the last week of January. Lviv (part 2) and Kyiv. The event we ran in

August 2023 was a huge success, and had a great impact. Now our aim is

even more ambitious. Two cities. Two events. Multiple panels consisting

of the best experts, and all filmed in high definition for the channel.

But it costs. Last time the overall cost was £3,500 for Live in Lviv,

and we covered 80% of this through ticket sales. This time the costs are

higher, and there's less opportunity to sell tickets at the available

venues and studios, so I'm creating a campaign to raise £5,000 to make

this trip a reality. We also have a much more ambitious programme to

film interviews around Kyiv and Lviv for the channel. This project will

have an impact, so please help if you can.

Ukraine has targeted Russia's Engels airbase and associated

infrastructure in 'multi-day, comprehensive operation'. This was

reported by Kyiv's 14th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment reported on

Jan. 14. This unit is part of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces; they

claimed the attacks were intended to "reduce the enemy's strategic

aviation capabilities".

It’s also been reported, and footage on social media seems to attest to

this, that they struck aviation fuel tanks at the Kristal oil plant used

to supply Russian long-range bomber aircraft.

"We are doing our best to ensure that Engels fire crews, who have just

put out the flames after the previous attack, are not left without work

in the face of the increasingly difficult economic situation in Russia."

The Ukrainian unit is quoted as saying.

The attack had also seemed to have targeted ammunition warehouses at the

airbase which store cruise missiles and glide bombs. Several explosions

were heard in the area, according to local reports from Russian

Telegram channels.
