βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Situation in the #Orekhov Section until 13:00 on 19 Mar 2023; pub. 13:43⚑️

πŸ”ΉAbout two Hours ago
, two assault groups of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 128th Mountain Assault Brigade, reinforced by Territorial Defence units, conducted a reconnaissance battle on the position of 291st Regiment of the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division of the RF Armed Forces near #Rabotino.

β–ͺ️ Ukrainian formations attempted to bypass the RF Armed Forces' strongholds from two sides. The movement of the enemy was detected by UAV crews, and the advancing AFU groups were attacked by artillerymen from the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division, destroying the equipment on which the AFU were moving.

β–ͺ️ This attack is not likely to be the last one today. There are now concentrations of AFU armoured vehicles, including tanks, in the area around #Novodanilovka.
βž– At least 15 units of equipment have been deployed near the suburb of #Orekhov. Ukrainian units use a smoke screen before almost every offensive.

β–ͺ️ In addition, the AFU attempted to storm the positions of the RF Armed Forces from the line between #Belogorye and #Charivnoye. A column was formed in the vicinity of #Belogorye, which was instantly hit by artillery. Now the Ukrainian equipment has returned to its initial position.

πŸ“Œ The Ukrainian Command is preparing for a major offensive. Regular essentially suicidal attacks are aimed at assessing the state of Russian defences and adjusting the overall offensive plan in #Zaporozhye region.

At the same time in the south the AFU concentrates reserves not only near #Zaporozhye. In #Kherson and #Nikolayev regions from #Ochakov to #Nikopol 10 to 15 thousand men are active, mainly Territorial Defence and mobilised men.

Yesterday the AFU unsuccessfully attempted to land a SRG on Bolshoy Potemkin Island. And in #Maryanskoye, on the border of the #Dnepropetrovsk and #Kherson regions, on the banks of the #Kakhovka reservoir, assault groups are trained daily, including landing on the left bank of the #Dnieper.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 13:00 on 18 Apr⚑️

πŸ”ΉIn the
#Orekhov Section, units of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the Ukrainian Forces of Special Operation are spreading false information about the alleged offensive of the AFU on #Lobkovoye and #Rabotino.

To date, there have been no attacks by the AFU. However, there is talk amongst members of Ukrainian formations of an attack being prepared for 20 April on #Tokmak and #Pologi at the same time as #NATO exercises near the Russian borders.

β–ͺ️ Units of the AFU's 71st Army Jager Brigade have arrived in the area and are taking positions on the second line of defence north of #Gulyaypole. In addition, the presence of paratroopers from the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade, which were redeployed from the #Soledar direction after being re-staffed, has also been noted.

β–ͺ️ The grouping of troops "Zaporozhye" command conducts regular communication checks between units of the AFU's 65th Mechanized Brigade, 71st Jager Brigade, 1st Separate Tank Brigade, 102nd, 108th, 110th Territorial Defence Brigades, as well as the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade and the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade.

β–ͺ️ Additional units and military equipment continue to be transferred to the frontline. Fire positions of M777 howitzers and M109 self-propelled artillery guns have been equipped near #Kamyshevakha, #Tavriyskoye and #Orekhov.

β–ͺ️ At Zolotaya Balka and #Maryanskoye near the #Kakhovka reservoir, training of assault units in forcing water obstacles is being completed.

πŸ“Œ The high Activity of Ukrainian Information Centers and the concentration of significant reserves in the #Zaporozhye region indicates an imminent intensification of hostilities, probably in the period from 20 to 25 April.

It is highly probable that the AFU will make several local attempts to break through the RF Armed Forces' defences at the #Pologi and #Orekhov sections to assess the Russian Army's defences before conducting a πŸ‘‰ full-scale assault in early May.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until the End of 25 Apr 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΈThe Situation in
#Kherson Region along the #Dnieper River has escalated. In recent weeks, the AFU has been trying to πŸ‘‰ entrench itself on the left bank, sending reconnaissance teams and probing the RF Armed Forces' defenses in this area.

β–ͺ️ For several days the main events have been taking place on Bolshoy Potemkin Island to the south, near #Kindiyka to the east and near #Veletenskoye to the west of the administrative centre. The areas have been partly in a "greyzone" for some time now.

πŸ”ΉIn the Golaya Pristan Sector, an RF Armed Forces man-portable air defence system crew πŸ‘‰ shot down a Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft over #Veletenskoye, while Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft struck the Ukrainian Special Forces of Operation landing area south of #Kizomys with FABs.

β–ͺ️ Meanwhile, yesterday the AFU forcibly evacuated civilians from #Veletenskoye and Kizomys as part of preparations for the landing of special forces assault groups on the left bank of the #Dnieper. Bayraktar UAVs are operating almost continuously over #Kherson and #Nikolayev regions.

πŸ”ΉAround #Kherson, Russian artillerymen supported by aircraft conducted several massive attacks on Ukrainian positions on Bolshoy Potemkin Island, in #Antonovka, #Vysuntsy and the coastal area of Dacha and #Kindiyka.

β–ͺ️ From the #Tyaginka - #Berislav - #Zmiyevka line, crews of the 124th and 126th Brigades of the AFU Territorial Defence Forces continue to fire mortar and artillery at the positions of the RF Armed Forces. Targeting is provided by reconnaissance copters.

πŸ”ΉIn the #KrivoyRog Sector near #Dudchany, Zolotaya Balka and #Maryanskoye, the 121st Separate Brigade of the AFU Territorial Defence is training assault teams to ford water obstacles.

β–ͺ️ Also the forces of the AFU's 71st Separate Jager Brigade conducted training on storming strongholds in the urban area together with the Territorial Defence in the #Pokrov - #Nikopol - #Marganets section.

πŸ“Œ At the Moment, significant Ukrainian forces with a total strength of over 15,000 men (at least 20 Territorial Defence battalions with attached artillery units, a National Guard brigade and the 71st Separate Jager Brigade of the AFU are concentrated in the #Kherson direction.

At the same time, the redeployment of new formations to the #Zaporozhye region continues. Today, a mechanized battalion of the AFU10th AC's 118th Mechanized Brigade arrived north of #Orekhov to #Tavriyskoye. By 30 April, the 116th, 118th Mechanized Brigades and 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade from #Pavlograd are due to arrive at the #Orekhov and #Gulyaypole sites.

The current manoeuvres of Ukrainian SRGs in #Kherson region look like attempts to divert the attention of the Russian command from preparing a strike in the #Zaporozhye direction. And, most likely, if an attack on #Tokmak and #Melitopol is launched, one should expect synchronous actions of the AFU from the right bank of the #Dnieper to restrain the RF Armed Forces.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦β˜’οΈ On the AFU Plans to seize #ZNPP and #Energodar⚑️

πŸ—“ The other Day
, British intelligence published photo of the territory of the #Zaporozhye NPP, taken on 25 Mar from a satellite. In the picture you can see the installation of firing positions and loopholes right on the roof of the NPP behind the reactors.

πŸ”ΉWhy might such measures be needed?

The AFU command is intensively preparing for the offensive. Although its terms have been shifted more than once, according to characteristic signs, it is not far off. Western curators need success, and they are pushing the AFU hard to attack.

One of the enemys' main goals is to seize the #Zaporozhye region, including #Energodar and #ZNPP. The NPP has been the subject of negotiations mediated by the IAEA since late last year.

Then the Ukrainians tried to push through the creation of first a 30km and then a 5km buffer zone around the #ZNPP with the full withdrawal of Russian troops and equipment, including air defence. The Russians rejected the demands, so no agreement could be reached.

πŸ”ΉWhat is happening at the Moment?

Units of the 121st and 129th Territorial Defence (TD) Brigades are concentrated on the Kakhovka Reservoir coast on the right bank of the #Dnieper River. The 178th Battalion of the 121st TD Brigade operates at the #Maryanskoye - #Dudchany line, and 5 Battalions of the 129th TD Brigade are stationed along the reservoir on the #Nikopol - #Ilyinskoye - #Kanevskoye line.

In the last 3 months, at the training ground in #Maryanskoye, under the leadership of the tactical special forces group of the South command, assault groups have been preparing to force water barriers and land troops on the unequipped coast

At least 12 barges are moored at #Nikopol and #Pokrovskoye, which are planned to be used for the transfer of personnel and military equipment to #Energodar, and firing positions of long-range M777 howitzers with Excalibur guided munitions are equipped along the coast.

❗️In Addition, the πŸ‘‰ recently arrived forces of the 71st Jager Brigade are stationed on the #Pokrovskoye - #Nikopol - #Marganets line. The 71st Jager Brigade took part in #Bakhmut defence, and some survivors of the meat grinder have experience in urban battles.

πŸ”ΉWhat will the AFU achieve?

The offensive plan is to strike in one or two main directions and a few stilted ones along the front. The enemy pays special attention to the territories on the left bank of the #Dnieper in their plans.

As the attack starts, one can expect simultaneous forcing of the #Dnieper by tactical landing not only from the #Kherson side but also from the line #Dudchany - Zolotaya Balka - #Maryanskoye - #Pokrovskoye line, where 121st and 129th TD Brigades have taken up positions.

The most combat-ready forces of the 71st Brigade were given the task of assaulting #Energodar from two sides, #Nikopol and #Marganets. In theory, this will allow taking control of the #ZNPP and provide a bridgehead for the landing of a larger group to break through to #Crimea.

πŸ”ΉThe Russian Command is well aware of the impending Ukrainian operation. Therefore, the equipment of defensive positions at the #ZNPP and around its territory is a completely logical step.

It is necessary to strengthen not only the area of the NPP and #Energodar, but also the coastal line from Bolshaya Lepetikha to #Dneprorudny and #Vasilyevka. The #Kakhovka reservoir is quite extensive, and attacks can occur at any site.

Not only the area of the NPP and Energodar, but also the coastal line from Bolshaya Lepetikha to #Dneprorudnoye and #Vasilievka should be reinforced. The #Kakhovka reservoir is quite extensive, and attacks could occur in any of the areas.

It is vital for the AFU to occupy a wide bridgehead on the entire left bank of the #Dnieper River in order to execute their plan. Related to this is the πŸ‘‰ probing of the ground by the Ukrainian paratroopers on the islands in the #Kherson region.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 20:00 on 5 July 2023⚑️

πŸ”Ή 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.

β–ͺ️ 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%.

πŸ”Ή 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.
