**Ukrainian Forces Gain Ground Against Russians**
In the Kharkiv Oblast, Ukrainian troops have successfully pushed back Russian forces. However, the strategic town of Borova remains under threat. The loss of Borova could affect access to the important city of Izium.
**Russian Forces Under Pressure**
Near Myrnohrad in Donetsk Oblast, Ukrainian defenses are holding strong against repeated Russian assaults. The Russian soldiers’ life expectancy is just two weeks due to heavy casualties and failed attacks. This shows weaknesses in Moscow’s military strategy.
**Russia’s Failing Strategies**
Russian troops have been trying to gain a foothold on islands near Kherson but have been unsuccessful. They have assembled 300 boats, but Ukrainian forces are stopping them with repeated assault attempts. Strategic reconnaissance is ongoing.
**Key Hubs Under Threat**
The Russian Armed Forces are encircling Velyka Novosilka, an important hub for operations at the Donetsk-Zaporizhzhia-Dnipropetrovsk border. They are conducting up to 25 daily assaults to breach the border between Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts.
**Russian Airbase Attacked**
Drones have targeted the critical Diagilevo air base in Russia’s Ryazan, which is home to bomber units.
**Russian Losses Mounting**
As of December 4th, the Russian Armed Forces have suffered significant losses:
* Personnel: over 747,000
* Tanks: almost 10,000
* Artillery systems: over 21,000
* Aircraft: more than 360
