Despite significant losses, the enemy does not abandon its attempts to dislodge Ukrainian troops from their positions. For instance, the adversary made more than 10x unsuccessful attempts to assault during the day of December 29.

At the same time, the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their active operations to inflict losses in manpower and equipment on the occupation forces, and exhaust the enemy all along the front line. 

During the day of December 29, Ukrainian Air Force launched air strikes on 10x concentrations of troops, weapons and military equipment, and 3x anti-aircraft missile systems of the adversary.

In the russian occupation forces, there are numerous cases of military personnel refusing to carry out criminal orders and participate in hostilities. For instance, on December 19, 2023, 43x servicemen from the 150th motorized rifle division of the russian armed forces who refused to participate in hostilities were convoyed by military police officers from the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk region to russia.
