The 69-ton, four-person Leopard 2A6 with its extra-long, 55-caliber main gun is one of the best tanks against Russia’s 22-month wider war on Ukraine. But it also is an endangered species in Ukrainian service.

Don’t tell that to the 47th Brigade’s sole tank battalion. The 47th Brigade’s tankers are as aggressive now as they have been at any point in the brigade’s five-month first rotation, which began in early June when the unit led one of the initial—and disastrous—assaults kicking off Kyiv’s long-anticipated southern counteroffensive.

After leading the attack in southern Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast for four months, the 47th Brigade in October redeployed to eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast. There, it reinforced the Ukrainian garrison in Avdiivka, which for a month now has been under relentless assault by a multi-brigade Russian force.

The 47th Brigade brought with it its hundred or so American-made M-2 infantry fighting vehicles and its 18 surviving Leopard 2A6s. Arriving on Avdiivka’s vulnerable northern flank, the brigade immediately rolled into action

Putin should be contented with their large territories..................

Russian soldier was promised a prosthetic arm ended getting 'a metal stick plastic tip'. As many Russian soldier lost arm and was told he'd get prosthetic replacements and many of them was just "a metal stick with a plastic tip," he was suing Russia's Social Insurance Fund.

A Russian soldier who lost arm fighting in Ukraine said he waited months. Man spoke to Siberia outlet of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and was identified in the report as Vadim Sharipov. 

The reported that the man's left arm was amputated after he was hit by machine-gun fire in October last year. He told the outlet that after he left hospital, he was sent to St. Petersburg for rehabilitation went back home in Jan.

He contacted Russia's Social Insurance Fund about getting prosthetics, he told the publication nothing happened for months. One prosthetic was supposed to essentially replacement hand, while other enable various tools and attachments to be added, he told the publication neither of them worked for him, saying one grasped like a hand was too large, meaning stump dangled in it, other was rudimentary.

"It's just a metal stick with a plastic tip!" The Daily Beast translated from his words in the report. "Why should I be happy with a stick instead of a prosthesis?!"  Sharipov told RFE/RL he was suing Russia's Social Insurance Fund.

He said in the report he was aware Russian veterans had not always been well-treated by the state, but he expected better given that prosthetics are cheaper than land or payments that other veterans had been promised. Russia has been widely criticized for its treatment of its soldiers since it started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The UK Ministry of Defence said in July that about half of Russia's fatalities in Ukraine were preventable and had been caused by things such as slow evacuations of the injured. Injured Russian soldiers have also reported being sent back to the front lines without getting proper medical treatment.

John Kirby, a spokesperson for National Security Council, said in October Russia continued to have "no regard for the lives of its soldiers."

Thousands of people living near the frontlines in southern and eastern Ukraine were left without power after Russian strikes on energy facilities, the Ukrainian government said. Last winter, systematic targeting of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure by Russia left millions without light or heating.
