Thank You
This morning, after 278 Situation Reports, 543 Flash Reports, and 146 podcast episodes gaining listeners in 196 countries, the Malcontent News Russia-Ukraine War Report passed one-million downloads. In another milestone, Linnea Hubbard became a meme on Twitter. You encouraged us to start the podcast. Over the last 5-1/2 months, the team has pulled all-nighters, cried, argued, chased perfection, and sweat over the details of being right - not first. We wouldn't be here without you.
Today's Report
Today's report is 63 pages and 6,000 words. Shhhhh. Do you hear that? That's Linnea going, "nooooo," so please give her some love in the comments. The team has had a very long day today.
What's the big story? The best way to summarize 45 pages of combat reports is very little change. Across every axis, Russian and Ukrainian forces were fighting with no verifiable movement of the line of conflict. We even have our first ground combat report in the Kherson region since November 10.
The second story? Main battle tanks - the United States and Germany are both poised to announce that Abrams M1 and Leopard 2 tanks will be headed to Ukraine. The total package could represent 164 modern NATO main battle tanks in the coming weeks between German and U.S. commitments and a coalition of ten more nations (the final number will likely be lower).

I am in Australia and the Patreon report drops overnight for us a day later (so we get the report for the 24th at midnight on the 25th), thank you International Date Line. That means we wait until the next day (the 26th) for Linnea's podcast. But it doesn't matter... I wait until the following morning when Linnea comes on my morning walk. Yes I read the report during the day but I rarely start the day without the podcast. Linnea is the BEST but so is the whole team. Please do what ever you can to keep this exceptional service going. I hope it isn't needed for very long... I was touched but not surprised with how affected Linnea and you all were when your source was located safe and well.
I am a hobby analyst of German politics and I don’t accept your argument for why Scholz caved. I think we have to take his original reason for not supplying MBT seriously, namely he didn’t want it to be Germany alone. I believe the historical optics of this would have been really bad. Additionally, I think he wanted to seem to Russia to be reluctant and willing only with a western consensus. In other words, everybody needs to have skin in the game otherwise Russian retaliation could specifically be against Germany, nuclear or otherwise. And we have seen the MAD paradox become quite unstable with all sorts of red lines becoming gray zones. And one of this gray zones could include some sort of attack on Germany that would not reach the threshold of a article 5 response, but either kill some Germans or an attack on economic interests.That is my perspective.
Thank you all so much for your hard work. I appreciate every word, fact and crying session!❤️😍
Linnea is the greatest.
Linnea is the epitome of awesomeness
BREAKING: It is official Germany has authorized the third-party transfer of Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and will provide Ukraine 14 Leopard 2's.
