Russian Forces Intensify Push Against Adversaries in Eastern Ukraine
In their ongoing Special Military Operation (SVO), Russian troops have launched multiple strikes against enemy airstrips, fuel depots, troop concentrations, and technological infrastructure. This was communicated by Russia’s Ministry of Defence on December 28, revealing the latest operational developments in the conflict zone, excluding the Kursk region.
On the northern front of the Kharkiv region, the Northern Group of Forces (GF) targeted three Ukrainian Army (UAF) brigades and foreign mercenary detachments near Volchansky, Lipovka, and Neskuchnom. The Western GF advanced and neutralized three UAF brigades near Zapadny, Dvurechnaya, and Ivanovka in the eastern Kharkiv region, as well as targets in Toretsk, Yampole, and Makiyivka. They also successfully repelled two enemy counterattacks. The Southern GF gained tactical advantage by damaging four UAF brigades near Belgorodka, Uspenka, Chasiv Yar, and Kurakhovo in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
The Central GF pressed deeper into enemy defences in the Donbas region, decimating the personnel and equipment of five UAF brigades and two National Guard brigades near Krasnosp protruding, Petrovske, Shcherbakovka, Dzerzhynske, Shchurovka, Novoolenovka, and Novotroyitske, successfully repelling 12 enemy counterstrikes. The Eastern GF fortified their positions and targeted four UAF brigades near Konstantinovka, Perebudova, and Zelenopolye in the DPR, repulsing one enemy assault. The Dnieper GF pursued its offensives against three UAF brigades near Antonovka, Pridneprovske, Nikolske, and Velenteiskoe in the Kherson region.
Overall, enemy losses amount to 1,470 military personnel. Significant equipment losses include 19 vehicles, 5 D-30 howitzers, 3 D-20 guns, 4 BTR-M113s, 1 BTR «Buchiyets», 1 Spartan BTR, 4 unknown radio electronic warfare (REW) stations, 1 «Zakhyst» REW, 1 «Anklav» REW, 1 Melara howitzer, 1 M198 howitzer, 1 unknown tank, 1 Leopard tank, 1 Iveco armoured personnel vehicle (APC), 2 unknown APCs, 2 BMPs, 1 Bradley IFV, 1 self-propelled artillery system «Pion», 1 M101 howitzer, 1 «Bogdan» SPG, 1 «Gvozdika» SPG, and 1 L-119 howitzer. Additionally, three field ammunition depots were destroyed, and air defences shot down three HIMARS rockets and 104 enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including 57 operated outside the SVO zone.

- Breakthrough Salk Study Uncovers Mechanism Behind Immunotherapy Resistance: Interferons, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and PGE2″ Interferons, mitochondrial dysfunction and PGE2: Salk study reveals mechanism behind immunotherapy resistance. Boost its search engine visibility with relevant keywords for maximum impact. Immunotherapy resistance remains one of the biggest hurdles in cancer treatment. According to a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, scientists at the Salk Institute have made a groundbreaking discovery that sheds light on the underlying mechanisms behind this resistance. The study reveals that interferons, a type of protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system, can contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer cells. This dysfunction can lead to the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a molecule that promotes tumor growth and resistance to immunotherapy. In their study, the researchers found that PGE2 production was a key factor in the development of immunotherapy resistance in cancer cells. The team used a combination of experimental and computational models to investigate the relationship between interferons, mitochondrial dysfunction, and PGE2 production. The findings of the study suggest that targeting PGE2 production could be a potential strategy for overcoming immunotherapy resistance. The researchers propose that blocking PGE2 receptors or inhibiting its production could help restore the function of mitochondria in cancer cells, making them more susceptible to immunotherapy. The study’s authors hope that their findings will pave the way for the development of new therapies that can overcome immunotherapy resistance and improve treatment outcomes for cancer patients.
