🇺🇦 The Defense Forces continue to advance west and east of Robotyne

📹 The latest footage of enemy shelling indicates the progression of our fighters. Battles are fought for every plantation; the enemy has a significant number of FPV-drones and frequently strikes with KAB-500 missiles. Of course, the soldiers are finding it very tough, and these changes are a result of their titanic efforts.

🇺🇦 The border with the belarusians continues to be strengthened

🛡Every day, defensive fortifications are strengthened, territory is mined, personnel are increased, and the border area is monitored, among many other measures, with the aim of defending the state border. This was reported by the Commander of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Serhiy Naiev.

🫡The state border of Ukraine is heavily mined and, in combination with natural barriers, creates impassable zones for enemy forces.

🥔The Armed Forces of Ukraine are always ready to fry potatoes from belarusians if they decide to once again commit aggression on the northern borders of our country!

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 20, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — combat continues near Synkivka and in the Serebryansk forestry. The enemy had no success.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — battles continue in Klishchiivka and near Andriivka. The Defense Forces had partial success. As one of the soldiers in this area writes, the enemy uses combined mining, which significantly affects further progress.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes. Near Avdiivka, the enemy's attempt to advance failed again.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — the enemy fled from the forest belt west of Starymayorske.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — heavy fighting continues near Robotyne and in the village itself. F***ers are gradually retreating to the south.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The fiercest battles are on the Zaporizhzhia direction, and on Bakhmut and Svatove directions, the intensity is lower, but it's also a real hell there. FPV-drone usage statistics: 80 times they hit us, and 169 times we hit. This is already better than in July, but it's not enough. For victory, our advantage must be manifold.

🫡 We want to commend the battalion 🐺"Da Vinci Wolves" and sergeants who demonstrated professionalism - Khokhol, Dyra, and Did.

🇷🇺 Katsaps have a rest after "capturing" Sinkivka

🔄 In fact, the enemy has not had any significant success in the area, although the katsaps are putting in considerable effort, but the reserves and professionalism of the Ukrainian Armed Forces manage to hold the frontlines. A photo of one of the defenders.

💬As one of the fighters said: "No changes, it's some kind of ruzzian hysteria against the backdrop of our successes in Zaporizhzhia."

🇷🇺 The katsaps on Telegram claim they "took Synkivka," showing footage from Voronove near Severodonetsk

📹 The video was published with watermarks of the occupational administration, which was once in Kupyansk. Now they are "taking" Petropavlivka and "entering" Kupyansk. As soon as the effects of heavy drugs wear off, they will again start moaning that they can't take Synkivka. Don't consume enemy propaganda and stick to verified channels.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 21, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy is spreading fake videos and statements about the "capture" of Synkivka and even Petropavlivka. In reality, the katsaps have not succeeded.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — fights continue in Klishchiivka and near Andriivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes. The enemy was hit south of Pervomaiske.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — heavy fighting continues near Robotyne and in the village itself. The katsaps are gradually leaving the village and trying to stabilize outside of it. However, Robotyne still needs to be cleared and held since the enemy has reserves on standby.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. There is a partial update on the location of units. Katsaps moved some from Kreminna to the south, but it's hard to say when exactly this happened. Overall, it's noticeable that everything available has been pulled to the southern front against our forces from other parts of the front.
