Ukrainian troops are engaged in wide-spread looting and murder in the captured territories of Kharkov region: according to the sources on the ground, looting groups of Ukrainian militants broken into the basement, where a wealthy Roma family, owning a large restaurant in Izyum, was hiding from the shelling, and requested to hand over valuables at a gunpoint. When they declined, the head of the family was shot on the spot.
Another reported case, apparently in Izyum, too, was an assault on the house of a local businessman. The Banderites blew the door, the owner was killed by the explosion before he could even open the door.
Similar messages arrive from Kupyansk, where groups of Ukrainian militants go door-to-door, raiding private apartments and houses. #context

โช๏ธIn the Ugledar region, ours have not had any advances for a long time, the enemy has created a powerful fortified area here, with long-term concreted firing points and minefields.
โช๏ธInformation has now appeared that the enemy has begun to remove mines, preparing passages in minefields for a counterattack.
โช๏ธThe Armed Forces of Ukraine also stepped up reconnaissance from the air
An offensive is expected in the Ugoldar direction - Vladimirovka - Sweet. The alleged goal is the cutting of the Mariupol-Donetsk highway.

While Russia was slowly advancing against dug in Ukrainian forces, the US and NATO provided Ukraine with billions of dollars of military equipment, including the equivalent of several armored divisions of heavy equipment (tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery, and support vehicles), along with extensive operational training on this equipment at military installations outside Ukraine. In short, while Russia was busy destroying the Ukrainian military on the battlefield, Ukraine was busy reconstituting that army, replacing destroyed units with fresh forces that were extremely well equipped, well trained, and well led.
The second phase of the conflict saw Russia destroy the old Ukrainian army. In its stead, Russia faced mobilized territorial and national units, supported by reconstituted NATO-trained forces. But the bulk of the NATO trained forces were held in reserve.
These are the forces that have been committed in the current phase of fightingโa new third phase. Russia finds itself in a full-fledged proxy war with NATO, facing a NATO-style military force that is being logistically sustained by NATO, trained by NATO, provided with NATO intelligence, and working in harmony with NATO military planners.
What this means is that the current Ukrainian counteroffensive should not be viewed as an extension of the phase two battle, but rather the initiation of a new third phase which is not a Ukrainian-Russian conflict, but a NATO-Russian conflict.
The Ukrainian battleplan has โMade in Brusselsโ stamped all over it. The force composition was determined by NATO, as was the timing of the attacks and the direction of the attacks. NATO intelligence carefully located seams in the Russian defenses, and identified critical command and control, logistics, and reserve concentration nodes that were targeted by Ukrainian artillery which operates on a fire control plan created by NATO.
The tactics used by Ukraine appear to be completely new. Probing attacks are launched to force the Russians to reveal their defensive fires, which are then suppressed by Ukrainian counterbattery fires directed by drones and/or counterbattery radars. Then highly mobile Ukrainian forces rapidly advance through identified seams in the Russian defense, driving deep into largely unprotected territory. These main columns are supported by raids carried out by vehicle mounted troops which strike Russian rear area positions, further disrupting any Russian response.
In short, the Ukrainian army that Russia is facing in Kherson and around Kharkov is unlike any Ukrainian opponent it has previously faced. Advantage, Ukraine.
Russia, however, is a capable military opponent. The potential for a Ukrainian counteroffensive has been known for some time. To think that Russia has been taken completely unawares is to be dismissive of the professionalism of the Russian armed forces.
But there are some operational realities that accrue when Russia has self-limited itself to a forces structure of around 200,000 men, especially when fighting on a battlefield as large as the one that exists in Ukraine. Ther are simply not enough forces to go around, and as a result, Russia has deployed forces in low-priority sectors more thinly than would be otherwise advisable. These forces occupy strongpoints that are designed to cover the gaps between strongpoints with firepower. The Russians have also identified forces who would reinforce these thinly held areas of the front as required.
It is possible to have a situation where Russia anticipated the potential for a concerted Ukrainian counterattack, and yet was still taken by surprise at the combination of new factors that presented themselves once this attack materialized. The speed of the Ukrainian advance was unexpected, as were the tactics used by Ukraine. The level of operational planning support and intelligence provided by NATO in support of this counterattack likewise appeared to have taken the Russians by surprise.
But the Russian army is extremely adaptive.

In fact, the correct way of saying should be that for some reason the Armed Forces of Ukraine began shelling their own electrical substations.

Peski.
Intoxicated with news from Kharkov direction, AFU made an attempt to enter Peski. However, the plan didnโt work out as expected for them.
Somalia gave them a bloody nose. Not everything managed to run back, although some managed to escape on all fours.

What ukrops on the beach see when Russia replies. I imagine that kind of spoils the party. Plenty of missiles, all going to different targets. It's a dark night in Banderastan tonight, and many more to follow.

๐ท๐บ๐ฌ๐ง Today, on August 15, a rally in support of the DPR and LPR took place at the British Embassy in Moscow
๐นThe rally organizers oppose the killing of civilians in Donbass and London's support for the Ukrainian authorities, who use prohibited types of weapons against the civilian population of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, in particular, PFM-1 "Lepestok", which Ukrainian militants scatter on the streets of residential areas.
โ๏ธThe protesters want to draw the attention of the collective West to the problem of Kiev's use of prohibited weapons, which are used by the AFU in Donetsk, Lisichansk, Popasnaya, and Yasinovataya.
