⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Fights South of #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye Direction⚡️

🔹In the Evening, it is reported that the enemy is conducting reconnaissance battles near #Orekhov, with the RF Armed Forces conducting strikes against enemy forces. There are no reports of any successes by the AFU. Most likely just assessing the potential of our defence line.

🔹An Acquaintance from #Zaporozhye direction reports that the enemy's attempts are successfully repulsed, but of course no one is overconfident there, they understand that this is still a test of strength.

📌 During such Attacks the enemy learns the system of fire on the front line, operation and positions of artillery, electronic warfare and air defense systems, speed of reaction to certain actions, etc. It is possible that such attacks are carried out at the request of the Americans, who are assessing offensive potential.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Refugees from Artyomovsk describe atrocities committed by Ukrainian Nazis - translation

Nazis destroyed Viktor's house and staged a play for Western media

Viktor Romanov:
"The rocket came from the Ukrainian side. Correspondents came all the time. After every massive bombardment. People were killed so that these victims and the ruins could be written off to the Russian side.

The Nazis killed civilians of Artyomovsk who were waiting for Russian soldiers to arrive.

Tamara Romanova:
"A godfather was killed. They dragged him out of the cellar with his son-in-law and shot him in front of his daughter and small child. Because they were waiting for the Russians.

As a child, Olga Gordeevna carried shells for the guns that hit the Nazis in 1943.

Eighty years later, she lived through another Nazi occupation.

Olga Gordeevna:
"America started this war. It wanted to go into our Ukraine. And we don't want to go to the United States. We want to go to Russia.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian Post

Let the occupiers not make any noise in the Vuhledar direction.

The fighting is tactical, nothing more.

Bakhmut

Fighting along the railway and also in several sections to the west.
