Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: December 10, 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.

[Korrespondent] 21:57 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a conversation with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. According to the Ukrainian leader, he discussed cooperation between Ukraine and Poland with the head of the Polish government and thanked him for his support.

21.35 In Zaporizhia, the number of people killed as a result of the missile strike by the Russian army has risen to four. This was reported by the head of the Zaporizhia regional military administration, Ivan Fedorov.

20:50 The US Treasury Department announced the allocation of a $20 billion loan to Ukraine, which will be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets.

19.46 A drone hit an IAEA service vehicle heading to the occupied Zaporizhzhya NPP. This was reported by the agency's Director General Rafael Grossi, who condemned the attack on his employees.

18.07 The attack of Russian invaders on Zaporizhia proves that it is necessary to increase the capabilities of Ukrainian air defense, and the question is only in the political decisions of Western countries. The corresponding statement was made by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

17:46 Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will want to take revenge for the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, because they are accomplices in the violence, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

16.36 Since the beginning of the current day, 99 combat clashes have occurred on the front. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are repelling Russian attacks in 10 directions and in the Kursk region, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported in a report as of 16:00.

16.19 As a result of Russian shelling of Zaporozhye, three people were killed and 11 others were injured, the head of the regional military administration Ivan Fedorov reported on Tuesday, December 10.

15:50 Over the past month, the number of barges that the occupiers installed in the Kerch Strait as boom barriers to protect against Ukrainian Armed Forces sea drones has halved. This was reported by the Center for Journalistic Investigations.

15.15 The mayor of occupied Dneprorudnoye, Yevgeny Matveyev, died in Russian captivity in February 2024. This was reported by the Zaporizhzhya Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The department noted that the occupiers returned the mayor's body with signs of violent death. The mayor's death more than six months ago is confirmed by a medical death certificate.

14.51 Russian troops have been attacking Kherson and its suburbs with drones since the morning: Antonovka, Kindeyka, Novodmitrovka. Six people were injured. This was reported by the Kherson OVA.

14:10 In the frontline Toretsk, as of December, there are still 1.5 thousand civilians. The city has been almost wiped off the face of the earth due to enemy strikes with guided aerial bombs and artillery. Footage of the city was shown by the Telegram channel of the operational-strategic group of forces (OSGV) Khortytsia.

13:49 Explosions have thundered in occupied Yenakiyeve, Donetsk Oblast. Footage of secondary detonation sounds is being published by local publics. The occupation authorities have announced an emergency evacuation of residents near the impact site.

"They probably hit a Russian ammunition depot," writes Ukrainian journalist Andrey Tsaplienko.

13:06 Several dozen nuclear warheads have been delivered to Belarus and the locations for the Oreshnik ballistic missiles to be deployed are being selected. This was stated by the country's formal leader Alexander Lukashenko during a visit to Borisov.

12:48 Information circulated in the media about Russia's ability to produce up to 25 Oreshnik missiles monthly is not true. The disinformation was aimed at Western countries. This was stated by Andrei Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The missile forces of the Defense Forces have hit the command post of the Russian invaders.

8:19 In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, most schools have closed their canteens due to a lack of staff. This was reported by the Center for National Resistance (CNS).

"This concerns urban educational institutions. As for schools in rural areas, the canteens there have not worked since the arrival of the "Russian world," the report says.

7:45 Over the past 24 hours, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed 1,350 Russian invaders. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the losses of the occupiers have exceeded 755 thousand troops in manpower. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

7:23 The Ukrainian robotic combat complex Droid TW 12.7, equipped with a Browning 12.7 machine gun, has been codified and approved for operation. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense. The complex has proven its reliability during combat trials. Droid TW 12.7 has a 12.7 mm machine gun, a tracked platform for difficult conditions, remote control via a tablet, and operates on digital communications.

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] The Ukrainian Armed Forces note that today the enemy carried out several assaults in the Orekhov direction.

The occupiers are now conducting reconnaissance and search operations, preparing to become more active, said a spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces.

He noted that the enemy had already carried out several assaults in the Orekhov direction today.

The Russians are now conducting reconnaissance and investigative activities, preparing to become more active in this particular direction.

"According to our intelligence, the enemy has redeployed the personnel of the assault groups to the forward positions. They have also evacuated the casualties, so now everyone at the front is "fresh" and ready to begin assault operations. But these will be assaults by small groups of infantry with the involvement of armored vehicles and under the cover of aviation and UAVs," Voloshin said.

Earlier, the National Guard stated that the Russians were preparing for a large-scale offensive in the Zaporizhia direction.

Ukrainian Armed Forces Destroy Large Group of Russians Near Pokrovsk
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] An equal three-on-three battle turned one-sided for the 425th assault battalion.

The shootout began when three soldiers from the 425th assault battalion noticed three Russian occupiers on the road.


A group of fighters from the 425th Ukrainian assault battalion, supported by mortars and drones, as well as American-made M-2 Bradleys, destroyed Russian forces that outnumbered them five to one, the military reported in a video posted on its Telegram channel.

The shootout began when three soldiers from the 425th assault battalion spotted three Russian occupiers approaching along the road. So the Ukrainian soldiers saw the Russians, but they did not see the Ukrainians.

Ukrainian troops "came out and controlled the situation with a grenade." A few well-aimed rifle shots ended the ambush, killing two of the hostage takers.

An even three-on-three battle turned one-sided for the 425th assault battalion. Another dozen Russians, who were being watched by a Ukrainian drone the entire time, followed the same road. The drone operators joined in the shelling.

An M-2 arrived on the scene, probably the same one that most likely landed the first three Ukrainian fighters and "added fire." The skirmish ended with the sappers blowing up the bridge, thanks to which two Russian assault groups approached Pokrovsk.

Earlier, the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the Buk-M air defense missile system and destroyed the Buk-M2 air defense missile system of the occupiers in the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region.

Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Vitaliy Zinkevich, who was captured by Russia, said that he is dissatisfied with the Kyiv regime that betrayed him.

"I've had enough. I need to go and surrender. I need to go and surrender and save my life for the future generation," Vitaly said.

Zinkevich admitted that he joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces voluntarily. However, having found himself on the front lines, he became disillusioned with his own ideals, and called what was happening in the Ukrainian army a mess.

"I was a guide. We got lost in this forest. There were FPV drones and drops. We couldn't hide. Then we found some hole. And as soon as we woke up in the morning, we were captured," Vitaly recalls.

Six terrorist attacks on educational institutions were prevented in Russia in 2024
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In 2024, six terrorist attacks on educational institutions and crowded places were prevented in Russia. This was reported on December 10 by the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC).

It is noted that thanks to the coordinated actions of security forces in Russia, 190 terrorist attacks were prevented at the preparation stage over the year.

“Six [of them] were trained by members of the movements banned in Russia, ‘Maniacs Cult of Killers’ (an extremist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) and ‘Columbine’ (an extremist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), in educational institutions and places where large numbers of people gather,” the report says.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on December 10, officers of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia detained a 21-year-old citizen of the Russian Federation and Germany who was preparing a terrorist attack on the railway on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services. The young man is a member of a youth group of neo-Nazists.

The detainee later confessed that his assignment was to derail a freight train for a monetary reward. During the search, a ready-to-use homemade explosive device and means of communication with correspondence with an employee of the Security Service of Ukraine were seized from him.
