⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Main Points during the #SMO by 22 July at 16.28 Moscow Time⚡️

🔻1.#Rabotino Ledge:
🟡Positional battles north of #Rabotino and #Verbovoye, minor progress in favour of the RFAF.
🟡The enemy is strengthening its defences south of #Orekhov.

🔻2.#Vremyevka Ledge:
🟡The RFAF are probing the AFU defence in the direction of #Makarovka.
🟡To the east of #Urozhaynoye, it was possible to take a number of landings to ensure the flank.

🔻3.#Ugledar:
🟡Positional battles on the edge of #Konstantinovka.
🟡It was not possible to break through to the #Konstantinovka - #Ugledar motorway and gain a foothold there on the move (⭐️Unlike Rybar and others, we 👉 doubted success), but new positions have moved closer to the motorway and it will now be easier to continue attacks from them in order to cut the communication line of the #Ugledar group.

🔻4.#Krasnogorovka:
🟡More than 90% of the town is under RFAF control.
🟡The enemy continues to crawl away fighting in the northwestern part of the city. Almost all the major buildings in the town have already been lost by the enemy, and the fighting has shifted to the private sector.

🔻5.#Avdeyevka:
🟡Small advance at #Nevelskoye + slight advance at the outskirts of #Karlovka.
🟡For the centre of #Novosyolovka1st, fighting continues, the settlement has not yet been taken.
🟡In the area of the liberated #Progress and #Lozovatskoye, the RFAF significantly expanded the control zone, the enemy was forced to roll back to the west.
🟡At #Vozdvizhenka's outskirts, fighting also continues, but the village itself is still under the enemy.
🟡North of #Arkhangelskoye, there is some progress, but it has not yet been possible to break through to #Kalinovo or bypass it from the west.
🟡At #Rozovka (#Aleksandropol), there is a slight advance.

🔻6.#Gorlovka:
🟡In #NyuYork, the RFAF have occupied part of the city centre and are moving west of the village.
🟡In #Dzerzhinsk (#Toretsk), the RFAF occupied most of #Artemovo and about a third of #Kirovo.
🟡There are crisis trends in the enemy's defence, there is a threat of encirclement of sufficiently large enemy forces between #NyuYork and #Dzerzhinsk.

🔻7.#ChasovYar:
🟡At #Kleshcheyevka, the enemy again caught hold of the outlying houses in the southwest of the village. There are positional battles going on here.
🟡In #ChasovYar itself - no changes, battles near the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal. The RFAF control the eastern part of #Kalinovka and have advanced north of the village along the canal.

🔻8.#Seversk Ledge:
🟡Fighting continues at #Perezdnoye. The village itself is under enemy control.
🟡There are battles in the area of #IvanoDaryevka and in the direction of #Vyemka.
🟡In #Belogorovka and #Spornoye, there are positional battles.

🔻9.#KrasnyLiman Sector:
🟡Positional battles continued in the #Serebryanskoye Forestry, in the area of #Terny and #Torskoye.
🟡There are no significant changes in the frontline.

🔻10.#Svatovo-#Kupyansk Section:
🟡The RFAF are having success in the area of the liberated #Peschanoye, where they are expanding the control zone.
🟡Fighting continues in the eastern part of #Makeyevka, near the outskirts of #Stelmakhovka, as well as east of #Sinkovka.

🔻11.#Kharkov Direction:
🟡The RFAF ousted the AFU from the northern part of #Glubokoye and regained control over most of the village.
🟡The enemy suffered heavy losses there.
🟡In #Volchansk, the RFAF have achieved success in the town centre, occupying a number of other buildings.
🟡In the eastern part of #Volchansk, there are small movements in favor of the RFAF.

📌 In general, the RFAF continue to maintain the operational initiative in most areas, which prevents the enemy from stabilising the front in a number of important areas. This, in turn, leads to the methodical liberation of territory and settlements.
