Here is the situation as of Friday, January 10th:
Battle
-
Two people were killed when Russian troops shelled the city of Siversk in the Donetsk region, according to Governor Vadym Filashin.
- Two people were also killed when the town of Kamianka-Dniprovska in Russian-controlled territory in the Zaporizhzhia region came under Ukrainian fire, Moscow-appointed governor Yevgeny Belitsky said. On Wednesday, at least 13 civilians were killed and about 30 others were injured in a Russian-directed bombing attack on a Ukrainian-controlled area of the region.
- According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia has fired more than 51,000 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine since its full-scale invasion began nearly three years ago.
- Russian forces have established a bridgehead on the Ukrainian-held side of the front-line Oskil river in the east of the country, an official said, citing increasing fighting on the battlefield in Kiev. The river is the de facto front line in parts of the eastern Kharkiv region.
Weapons
- An international coalition to procure unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for Ukraine, jointly led by the United Kingdom and Latvia, will send 30,000 newly ordered drones to Kiev, the British Ministry of Defense said.
Politics and diplomacy
transport
- The EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has warned non-European airlines not to fly in western Russian airspace due to the risk of being inadvertently attacked by their air defense systems.
- EASA said the crash of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane in Kazakhstan last month when Russian air defenses fired on Ukrainian drones showed the high risk. At least 38 people were killed in the crash.
