It's like something you would expect to see in a wild dystopian movie, not in reality
Reminds me of the nobility parties from The Hunger Games..

One feels like Ukraine is just biding it’s time, getting all of this in place, grinding the Russians down from afar until there’s another big push as we saw in the closing months last year.

Putin praises Russian Orthodox Church for backing troops in Ukraine
Moscow issued Vladimir Putin's message after he attended an Orthodox Christmas Eve service on his own inside a Kremlin cathedral rather than joining other worshippers in a public celebration.

Wonder what he's praying for

I wish they would get more numbers though. 50 isn’t much, and 25k rounds is only 500 per vehicle, I imagine they’ll get through that quite quickly.
The same for artillery, when you see videos there doesn’t seem to be much saturation, just one or two in action.
And hopefully someone somewhere is working on a défense against the lancet loitering drones, too many videos of those recently taking out Ukrainian artillery.
Not looking good for Bakhmut - to the north Soledar and Pidhorodne pretty much gone, Wagner forces have made a renewed push in the industrial area to the east. Without some heavy artillery reinforcement Ukraine is going to find the situation in Bakhmut untenable before long. (Though I'm not sure how long Russia can sustain the progress either).
