Battle of Orikhiv
It is urgently necessary to open this article because the Russian breakthrough of January 19 has really turned into a serious military offensive. In the coming weeks, we will know if Russia really launched the Zaporozhye offensive on January 19, which will require a separate and broader article like the Kherson counteroffensive and the Eastern Ukraine counteroffensive. For this article, they already have given the contours that I made last year, but the real offensive did not take place until January 19. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Battle_of_Orikhiv

What happened in Odesa?
The Kyiv Post say they attempted a landing. https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/dispatch-from-odesa-russians-tried-to-land-a-diversionary-group.html

The Odessa Journal said that Ukraine conducted an anti-amphibious operation, and that Russia planned to land but couldn't due to weather. https://odessa-journal.com/oleh-zhdanov-revealed-russias-plan-to-capture-odessa-what-saved-the-city/

Other sources say that Russia planned an attack on Odesa.

Lukashenko showed a map of a planned landing in Odesa.

Some say that Russia landed (obviously debunked).

So what happened? 🍁🏳️‍🌈 DinoSoupCanada 🏳️‍🌈 🍁 (talk) 22:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
