In Kherson and Donetsk - round-the-clock shelling, people were killed, in Belarus they are gathering battalions on the border with Ukraine: military news on December 24

It is the 304th day of the war. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that in the Bakhmut direction, Russian troops fired mortars, artillery and MLRS on 25 settlements. The defense forces repelled enemy attacks in the Luhansk direction. 

The enemy troops delivered 3 missile, 10 air strikes, 62 shelling from the MLRS, Kherson "got" the most. 

Missile strikes decreased? 

And still, despite the heavy shelling of individual cities, British intelligence notes that the intensity of attacks on Ukraine has decreased. The reason for this is the likely shortage of ammunition, which remains a key deterrent to the Russian offensive, writes British intelligence in Twitter.

Russia has likely limited its long-range missile strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure to about once a week due to the limited availability of cruise missiles.

There are also not enough shells for artillery - everything that is there goes to the defense.

Budanov also added in an interview that the Kremlin is still trying to persuade Iran to supply ballistic missiles, but the country is not in a hurry to make decisions.
