Bakhmut's flank: Footage of the approach of Russian army reinforcements and their retreat under enemy fire at Berkhovka
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported today that the enemy is advancing along the entire Soledar direction, units of the South group of troops occupied the frontier, taking into account the favorable conditions of the Berkhovsky reservoir in the Maloilinovsky direction to increase the stability of defense. Perhaps it meant a tactical retreat.
Now Ukrainian resources are actively distributing videos from their drone, where a couple of infantry platoons drove trucks into positions and were immediately covered by dense fire. Probably there was no support in the form of a counter-battery struggle and as a result both platoons retreated, losing 1 URAL. Judging by the footage, they retreated without losses.
The military commanders of the Wagner PMCs reported today that the AFU were able to occupy some tactical heights left by our units in the Berkhovka area and reached the Berkhovsky reservoir.
According to all reports, a dangerous situation persists in this area and fighting continues.

It should be noted that Lugansk, where something exploded and is burning on a large scale, is relatively far from the front line - more than a hundred kilometers.

Of those missiles that are officially in service with Ukraine, Tochka U can cover such a distance, but they are relatively easy to shoot down.

The Russians have recently said that Ukraine has begun using the Grom tactical system, which can cover a distance of up to 500 kilometers. Although, as claimed in the Russian Federation, these missiles were invariably shot down. Ukraine did not confirm the use of "Thunder".

A drone could also reach Lugansk, although they rarely attack through the front line, saturated with troops and surveillance systems.

Russian military publications are already writing that missiles were fired at Lugansk by an aircraft from the Ukrainian-controlled Kramatorsk region (this is about 130 kilometers). Hinting that the strike was carried out by the recently delivered British Storm Shadow air-launched missiles, which can hit 290 kilometers.

It should be noted that Ukrainian Telegram channels are already writing “God save the King” about this, also hinting at the fact that the British missile has worked.

But there is no official confirmation of any of these versions yet.

In South Africa, they said that the weapons were sent to Russia, but no one permitted this.

This is reported by Reuters.

According to him, the government of the Republic of South Africa claims that individual cases of arms exports to Russia did take place, but no one granted permission for this.

"We have not approved any arms deliveries to Russia," said Mondi Gumbulele, head of the Ministry of Communications.

In turn, the speaker of the Department of international relations and Cooperation Clayson Moniela also said that the NCACC "does not have information about the approved sale of weapons by our state to Russia" for that period.

Earlier it was reported that US Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa Ruben Briguete said that the Republic of South Africa, despite its declared neutrality, supplies weapons to Russia for the war against Ukraine.

Agrarian ministers from 12 EU countries expressed "serious concern" about the recent deal between the European Commission and five eastern countries of the bloc, which made it possible to lift the ban on imports of agricultural products from Ukraine.

According to Politico, citing a joint letter from government members, ministers from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Greece, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Luxembourg, Estonia, Denmark, and Slovenia are demanding "clarifications" from the European Commission on the deal, which they say, was carried out "without consultation".

“As with all aspects of our support, it is necessary to ensure the unity of the European Union and that our differences do not play into the hands of Russia, especially on this particular issue, when Russia threatens not to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative. We call on the Commission to return to a transparent procedure per the established rules within the framework of the functioning of the EU and its member states," the letter says.
