Julius Caesar loved XV variant

Normal sudoku rules apply.
If the same digit appears in the same position in two boxes, that digit also appears in the same position in one more box.
Cells connected by an X must sum to 10. Cells connected by an V must sum to 5.
All X's and V's are given.
Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb end.

I'm still a beginner so the difficulty may be a bit off. Feedback is welcome!
I took this rule set from Thorsby's puzzle, take a look at his elegant puzzle here
Solution code: Give the digits from column 2 top to bottom

Got stuck 3 times - each time after a while: "oh yeah the box position rule!" :)
