In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.01 Авдеевка, начало уличных боев. Вариант нападения рф на НАТО," the speaker from Ukraine discusses the night of January 23rd, which was unusually restless. Russia attempted a massive rocket attack with over 40 targets, using a combined method with both cruise and ballistic missiles, which was a new combination never seen before. The Russian command calculated the targets and aimed to hit them simultaneously. The cruise missiles, which fly at around 850-870 km/h, and the ballistic missiles, which take several hours to reach their targets, were launched from different regions in Russia, placing significant challenges for defensive systems. Despite the deployment of new air defense systems in the capital, Hарьkov, there were no means to protect the city against these missiles. Consequently, a tragic event occurred in Hарьков when a missile hit a residential building. The video also mentions the launch of eight X-22 ballistic missiles from the Caspian Sea, which were aimed at Hарьkov and Sumy regions. Overall, Ukraine managed to destroy 15 cruise missiles and five ballisticmissiles, along with several other targets in the area around Kiev and throughout Ukraine.

In this section of the video, the speaker discusses the ongoing process of Turkey deciding whether to ratify Sweden's entry into NATO. Despite some delays due to negotiations over contentious issues, the Turkish parliamentary committee has reached a consensus and recommended that the document be brought to the floor for a vote. However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has threatened to block the ratification process unless certain conditions are met. The speaker expresses confidence that Sweden will eventually gain NATO membership, but the exact timeline remains uncertain. Additionally, there isgood news regarding Ukraine's military capabilities. Ukrainian Air Force Press Officer Yuri Ignat announced that Ukrainian pilots are now training on F-16s alongside instructors, with the next step being combat pilot training and the eventual commissioning of these planes for use in Ukraine's airforce. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg also made a statement following a NATO commission meeting that NATO has signed contracts worth $1.2 billion to purchase 155mm artillery shells, which Stoltenberg emphasized are crucial for NATO's defense against Russia.

In this section, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg acknowledges the exclusive production of ammunition in Russia and the need to increase production to support Ukraine. He then explains that each NATO country has a component of their military that falls under NATO jurisdiction and possesses stockpiles, including ammunition. NATO is buying a billion dollars' worth of ammunition and will store it on their own bases. The ammunition currently under NATO jurisdiction on national storage sites may be transferred to national defense ministries or general staffs for potential distribution. While no direct supply of weapons or ammunition from NATO is expected, they might be able to indirectly provide aid through partner countries. The U.S. and other NATO members support Ukraine's victory in the war, and the European Union plans to create a new military aid fund, estimated at over 20 billion euros, to help cover joint purchases of weapons for Ukraine. This is a potential solution to bypass the Hungarian opposition against a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine. The formation of the new fund could yield quick funding if approved.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "23.01 Авдеевка, начало уличных боев.

The speaker also mentions a potential Russian cyberattack, followed by a massive missile strike on European infrastructure, and a ground offensive aimed at seizing control of critical infrastructure in Poland and the Baltic countries. Russia allegedly plans to use the surprise factor of the attack to gain an advantage over NATO, with NATO responding through established procedures including consultations, formation of a coalition, and military action to defend the affected members. The document in question reportedly allows Russia to occupy Eastern European countries for up to six months before NATO retaliates with a larger military operation to liberate the occupied territories.

According to them, Russia has been preparing for war and increasing its military potential in the meantime. The 90,000 soldiers and equipment currently being transferred from the US to Europe as part of these exercises may remain in Europe after they conclude, and the next phase of these military maneuvers could involve executing plans for defending against a potential Russian invasion without any prior consultation. The experts warn that this could lead to a preventative war.

The speaker describes the absurdity of the situation and Russia's motive for dehumanization and aggressive military actions against civilians. Experts, if allowed, may be able to determine the origin of projectiles, such as the angle from which a grenade comes, providing crucial information to analyze the situation.
