The President's Daily Brief
PDB Situation Report | January 11th, 2025: Ukrainian Counter-Offensive & South Korea's Political Crisis

Absolut. Die Russen haben die Initiative über die gesamte Ostukraine. Die Russen haben gegriffen und sie haben sehr intensiv gegriffen in der letzten Quartal, Ende 2024. Aber die russischen Angriffe wurden im September und Oktober aufgenommen. Die Russen, zum Beispiel, die Krasnoyarske Theater, sie hatten im Übrigen ca. 30.000 Verletzungen pro Monat.

Aber im Oktober, November, Dezember, da kam es zu ca. 40.000-45.000 Verletzungen. Also versuchten sie wirklich hart zu drücken. However, in December slowed the rate of Russian advance in eastern Ukraine down. It was already fairly slow to begin with.

PDB Situation Report | January 11th, 2025: Ukrainian Counter-Offensive & South Korea's Political Crisis

I mean, we're talking about the Russians taking a year to cross about 50 kilometers of fields and losing five armored divisions in the process of doing so. But it's been slowing down. And I'm not yet prepared to say that the Russian-grade defensive in eastern Ukraine that's been going on for the last year has culminated. But they're getting closer to it.

PDB Situation Report | January 11th, 2025: Ukrainian Counter-Offensive & South Korea's Political Crisis

The Russians have not notably seized the operationally significant town of Pokrovsk. The defenses there have held up so far so good. Over the course of the year, the Ukrainians have managed to also hold the other tactically important town of Chasubyar, which is defending the flank of the operationally important town of Konstantinivka.

I mean, if you look at these rates and you think about Russia's ability to continue at this tempo of operations to push forward for other 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, particularly with the vehicle losses, which are very hard to replace, it makes us think that, look, Putin really is kind of on a nice edge, because if we continue to sustain the Ukrainians in this fight, the Russian tank is just going to run out of gas eventually.

I think our current running assessment based off of Ukrainian figures estimates that in 2024, the Russians lost a little bit north of 400,000 killed and wounded casualties. And when you aggregate that across the amount of square kilometers, also a little bit north of 4,000 square kilometers that the Russians gained,
