Ukrainians will be disenfranchised for failing to appear at the military registration and enlistment office.
During mobilization, all citizens of Ukraine (no gender division) from 18 to 60 years old must have military registration documents with them and present them to the TCC (military recruitment centers).
Failure to appear at the military registration and enlistment office will result in:
▪Ban on traveling abroad.
▪Prohibition on transactions with movable and immovable property.
▪Restrictions on the right to drive a vehicle and obtain a driver’s license.
▪Restriction of the rights to dispose of funds and other valuables.
▪Refusals to sign loan agreements.
▪Stop receiving benefits and services from the state.
▪Men of military age who are abroad will receive passports only upon presentation of military registration documents.

Dwindling aid from West, total mobilization and economic collapse: How Ukraine’s 2024 is looking
Waning Western support, heavy losses and lack of battlefield gains have apparently hugely dented the hopes of Kiev and its backers.
The country’s prospects for the next year now look rather grim, with what were once the most ardent supporters of Kiev now apparently unsure whether aid to the country locked in a nearly two-year conflict with Russia should continue.

Ukrainian officials have provided conflicting accounts of the extent of damage to infrastructure and of progress in fixing it. Nearly 60% of the country’s power generation and some 43% of the entire high-voltage network ended up damaged last year, according to state-owned operator Ukrenergo. Ukraine’s Prime Minister Denis Shmygal, however, said 40% of the “electricity infrastructure, including generation and power grid,” was destroyed, with “most of this damage” fixed.

How Much 155mm Ammunition Costs Now: an Example of the Rheinmetall Contract For 10,000 Shells
Rheinmetall announced the conclusion of a contract with an unnamed European customer for 155-mm L15 shells. According to the official announcement, the agreement was concluded in December and covers the supply of 10,000 shells.

The value of the announced deal was about 33 million euros. That is, one 155-mm projectile under this contract costs 3.3 thousand euros. The deadlines for the order are quite vague: 2023.

There is also an extremely interesting aspect in the ordering of projectiles marked as L15. It seems that they are the L15A1/A2 HE, which were replaced by the more advanced DM111 and DM121 at Rheinmetall.

Russia’s electronic warfare tactics are helping it turn the tide against Ukraine
The Telegraph Joe Barnes Wed, 27 December 2023 at 9:00 pm CET

At first, Ukraine noticed its GPS-guided 155mm Excalibur artillery shells suddenly started veering off target.

Then rockets fired with Himars, which Kyiv once boasted had “scalpel-like” accuracy, began missing their targets. In some areas, they almost always missed.

The same happened to JDAM guided bombs supplied to Ukraine’s air force by the United States.

Frantic investigation eventually discovered they had all fallen victim to a new threat – Russian jamming. Moscow has quietly developed a knack for taking out some of Ukraine’s most prized missiles and rockets.

Ukraine needs plan B ex-PM
The current situation is tragic? and will lead to defeat, Yulia Tymoshenko has argued
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky needs to offer the country another plan for winning the war, because the current one isn't working, former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said on Wednesday.
Tymoshenko did not say what her vision of an alternative policy would be. She described the current situation as "difficult [and] rather tragic," due to the reduction in military aid from the West, which are "just enough to not lose."
