⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 20:00 on 5 July 2023⚡️

🔹 Against the background
of the activity of the AFU in other areas, a lull arose in the #Orekhov and #Kamenskoye sections. Nevertheless, since the night the AFU have been conducting intense fire action, preparing for new attacks.

▪️ Units of the 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade as well as the 47th and 65th Mechanized Brigades are recovering their combat efficiency. Losses are substantial. In the companies involved in the fights, the losses ranges from 50 to 85%.

🔹 But the movement of troops and equipment to the line of contact does not stop. The other day, convoys, including tanks and buses with personnel, passed through #Veselyanka and #Volnyanka.

▪️ Formations of the 117th and 118th Mechanized Brigades of the 10th AC have completed the move from the #Orekhovo section to the #Kamenskoye sector. A forward control post of the 10th AC is equipped in #Stepnogorsk. A similar HQ of the 9th AC has been deployed in Malaya Tokmachka.

❗️Judging the situation, the AFU command is planning a simultaneous attack by the 9th and 10th ACs as well as the Maroon Tactical Group. And now the direction of #Vasilyevka that is the priority.

It would seem that such an offensive would be coordinated with the actions at the #Zaporozhye NPP, but the speculation about provocations so far looks more like part of an information operation to stir up panic.

In addition, most of the enemy formations have abruptly withdrawn from the #Nikopol - #Vyshetarasovka line. Conversely, activity has increased at the bend in the parched #Kakhovskoye reservoir on the line #Maryanskoye- Zolotaya Balka.

For the past 3 or 4 months, the AFU 121st Territorial Defence Brigade has been training to force a crossing of water obstacles. This may indicate a possible strike from this direction to cover the #ZNPP from the south.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 Boris Rozhin, Expert of the Centre for Military and Political Journalism on the AFU Offensive⚡️

The 40 days of the enemy's offensive in the Zaporozhye direction allow us to conclude that the initial plans for an offensive by the AFU with #NATO support have failed in all directions of the main strikes.

In the #Orekhov section the offensive of the AFU bogged down in the area of #Pyatikhatki and #Rabotino, and in the area of the #Vremyevka ledge the enemy was stuck in the area of #Priyutnoye, #Makarovka, #Urozhaynoye and #Novodonetskoye.

According to leaked AFU operational documents, most of these settlements were supposed to be captured on the third or fifth day of the offensive and further develop strikes on #Vasilyevka, #Tokmak, #Pologi, #Volnovakha in order to achieve strategic goals related to access to #Melitopol and breakthroughs to #Berdyansk and #Mariupol in order to cut the land corridor along the coast of the Sea of Azov.

During the winter and spring of 2023, huge amounts of weapons were transferred to the AFU for such plans: tanks, IFVs, APCs, MRAPs, SAUs, towed artillery, aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, and engineering equipment. It was for this purpose that strategic reserve brigades were being prepared for several months in #Ukraine and in the West, which were supposed to break through the Russian front and turn the tide of hostilities in favour of the AFU.

But the reality turned out to be different. The heroic and stubborn resistance of Russian troops, coupled with competent work on the engineering preparation of defensive positions, thwarted the enemy's plans. The Russian command deliberately gave the initiative to the enemy in the #Zaporozhye direction, suggesting that the AFU try to break through the echeloned defence in order to exhaust and exhaust the enemy's strike forces.

In part, this has already been done. Kiev has not wasted all of its accumulated forces, but some of the strike brigades, which were assembled with such difficulty with the help of the West, are already badly exhausted and have suffered heavy losses in men and materiel, which has also led to a drop in morale.

Moreover, having failed in the #Zaporozhye region, which was also recorded in the West, the AFU hastily tried to increase the pressure on the operation in the #Artyomovsk direction, throwing some reserves there in order to achieve at least small successes.

Also part of the reserves that were supposed to develop success (which did not happen) in #Zaporozhye were thrown into the #Svatovo and #Kupyansk directions, but with another task - to try to stop the advance of Russian troops to the #Oskol River and #Kupyansk.

This situation breaks the original configuration of the AFU offensive in the most important parts of the front. Of course, all this has become so obvious that following the Western military analysts, the mainstream Western press and the Ukrainian military themselves, who see the bloody results of the offensive with insignificant results, started talking about the failure of the June offensive of the AFU.

And of course, there are questions to the Ukrainian command, which continues to drive people to "meat assaults" in order to achieve at least a media victory and justify the previous losses (only in the #Zaporozhye direction the irrecoverable losses of the AFU amounted to almost 30 thousand people).

But in the end, the bloody price of the failed offensive continues to grow, which is especially evident in the fighting in the area of the previously little-known village of #Pyatihatki.

▪️
During the night, a massive strike was carried out in #Odessa region, the RF Armed Forces destroyed port infrastructure, fuel and lubricant depots and enemy air defence systems with "geraniums" and missiles. Explosions were also heard in the #Kiev, #Zaporozhye, #Kharkov, #Kherson regions. Strategic aviation was used to launch Kh-22 missiles. Kalibrs were used.

▪️ In the #Vremyevka sector of the #SouthDonetsk front, the AFU tried to break through the defence in the area of #Staromayorskoye, #Priyutnoye and #Urozhaynoye, leaving no expectation of further interrupting land communication with #Crimea. Heavy battles are going on.

▪️ In the #Orekhov section of the #Zaporozhye front, armoured vehicles manufactured by #NATO countries and the enemy's pickup trucks are being destroyed. The AFU is taking care of armoured vehicles, the enemy infantry is trying to move in small groups through wooded areas. The enemy units have not achieved success.

▪️ In the #Kamenskoye sector, the AFU is accumulating forces near #Stepnogorsk, pulling up equipment and air defence systems, counter-battery firing stations, and does not abandon the plan to break through to #Vasilyevka and a flank attack through #Pyatikhatki. They are preparing for the resumption of the offensive, for a month and a half of which they have not achieved any successes, except for the occupation of the grey zone.

▪️ In the #Kupyansk sector, where the RF Armed Forces have advanced towards the city, the successes of our forces have been reported. The successes of our forces in this direction have to be recognised by the official speakers of the AFU.

▪️ On the southern flank of #Bakhmut, heavy bloody battles are taking place near #Kleshcheyevka, the AFU is trying to occupy the heights near the settlement. The enemy is using the tactic of constant "meat assaults".

▪️ The shelling of the frontline regions, the #Kursk and #Belgorod regions has not stopped. The enemy fired 542 munitions at the DPR. Under fire #Gorlovka, #Yasinovataya, Yasinovataya district, #Donetsk, #Makeyevka, #Aleksandrovka, #Staromikhaylovka, #Yelenovka, #Volnovakha district. 7 civilians were wounded.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 19 July 2023; pub. 08:02⚡️

🔹 In the western section of the
#Zaporozhye direction, Ukrainian forces have shifted the focus of their attacks from #Zherebyanka to #Lugovoye. Thus, they are trying to move directly towards #Vasilyevka. There is a powerful fortification on their way.
▪️ With the support of artillery, the AFU unsuccessfully⚠️ attacked near #Rabotino and probed the Russian defence near #Chkalov.
💥 The RF Armed Forces shelled the AFU in #Novoandreyevka, #Orekhov, #Preobrazhenka, #Belogorye, #Gulyaypolskoye, Verkhnaya Tersa and #Zheleznodorozhnoye.

🔹 In the #Ugledar Section, Russian troops, supported by artillery, regained a number of positions near #Rovnopol.⚠️
▪️ In turn, similar actions by the AFU near #Staromayorskoye can also be called successful for Ukrainian units.⚠️
💥 The Russian Aerospace Forces launched strikes on AFU positions in #Novodarovka, #Makarovka and #Blagodatnoye. Apart from the last of these settlements, artillery also hit #Neskuchnoye, #Vremyevka, #Prechistovka and #Ugledar.
💥 The Ukrainian army hit #Urozhaynoye and #Novodonetskoye.

🔹 On the #Donetsk Front, the RF Armed Forces attacked all three of the AFU's main fortifications: in #Maryinka, the town of #Krasnogorovka and #Avdeyevka after artillery strikes. Without success.⚠️

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Summary for the Morning of 20 July 2023⚡️

🔹 in the
#Zaporozhye direction, the AFU are attacking to the left of #Zherebyanka to #Lugovoye, this is a more direct route to #Vasilyevka, but as far as I know, ours have been preparing for attacks on this line. The AFU's attempts to attack near #Rabotino are still unsuccessful. There was information that the AFU banned the use of air defence equipment on the #Rabotino section of the front. Ours assume an attack of the AFU aircraft and drones. They cannot prohibit the work of our air defence. In the meantime, the AFU launched a new attack with tanks and armoured vehicles on the #Rabotino - #Verbovoye line.

🔹 In the #SouthDonetsk direction, the RF Armed Forces managed to regain several positions near #Rovnopol. And the AFU managed to occupy a number of our positions near #Staromayorskoye, fighting is going on. In general, the situation is controlled, but the occasional news about the shortage of shells in our units causes concern.

🔹 Good news comes from the #Artyomovsk direction. The RF Armed Forces were able to counterattack and push the enemy out of the key fortification west of #Kleshcheyevka. Since this position has been returned, it was lost after all, and few people knew about it. The situation here remains complex. Obviously, our military has not yet managed to turn it in its favour.

🔹 In the #Kupyansk sector, the RF Armed Forces are again on the attack. They have advanced to the west of the Liman 1st and are attacking the villages of #Maksyutovka and #Sinkovka.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 17:00 on 30 September 2023⚡️

🔹 At the
#Rabotino - #Verbovoye line the situation remains the same. Attempts of the enemy to cut in between the villages did not bring the expected success to the AFU. Separate clashes have been reported west of #Verbovoye, as well as in landings to the southwest.

▪️ Due to serious losses, the units of the 3rd Battalion of the 117th Mechanized Brigade and the 82rd Separate Air Assault Brigade were once again rotated. Reinforcements to replace them arrived the other day, including forces from the 65th Brigade.

▪️ It is with the forces of the 65th Mechanized Brigade that the AFU plans to storm the heights south of #Rabotino. Their location is advantageous for the defence of both #Novopokropovka and positions in the forest belts to the east, so the AFU though concentrate their efforts on them.

🔹 And if the fighting in the #Orekhov section has already become somewhat routine, the activation of Ukrainian formations in the direction of #Vasilyevka and #Pologi is a rather unique event for the last few months.

▪️ In the area of #Grigorovka, #Stepnogorsk and #Kamenskoye, the arrival of unidentified units has been noted, which are setting up control points in these villages.

▪️ Also near #Belogoriye several groups of the 82nd Separate Air Assault Brigade (our artillery is already working on them) have taken up positions. And the enemy aviation from the airfield in #Dnepropetrovsk began firing at rear facilities, including #Pologi.

📌 Such activity of the AFU in two areas indicates a possible attack on both #Vasilyevka and #Pologi. And in principle, given the problems at #Orekhov, this option is quite logical for stretching the front. Another question is whether the AFU will have enough reserves for a broad front offensive.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 30 September 2023⚡️

🔹Ukrainian formations
are increasing their activity in #Sumy and #Chernigov regions near #Russia's borders. Various AFU units are being pulled into the region, including fighters from the "RVC" and the "Russian Freedom Legion". New sorties into the Russian border regions are planned.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, the enemy continues to amass forces, transferring new infantry groups to the islands on the #Dnieper. Ukrainian formations are trying to create a solid bridgehead for further attacks on Russian positions on the left bank of the river and a further breakthrough to #Crimea.

🔹The situation in the #Vremyevka and #Orekhov sections of the #Zaporozhye direction has not changed significantly. However, the AFU intensified its actions in the #Pologi and #Vasilyevka sectors. Localised fighting took place near #Belogorye.

🔹In the #Lugansk Direction, it is hot as well. From the side of #Kuzmino, supported by artillery, the RF Armed Forces attacked in the #Serebryanskoye hot forest area towards #Serebryanka. The goal is to break through to the #Seversky Donets. Similar actions at #Torskoye. Here the task of the Russian troops is to cut the AFU supply route on the left bank of the #Oskol in this area. The RF Armed Forces are also attacking near #Makeyevka and much further north near #Ivanovka. After massive strikes they are trying to enter #Sinkovka. The goal here is to reach #Kupyansk.
📌 The AFU are holding their positions.⚠️
💥 The RF Armed Forces struck Ukrainian units in #Belogorovka, #Peschanoye and #Petropavlovka. (👉 Fig. 5)
