📋🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 Two Majors Assessment on AFU's #Kherson Landings📍

📜 The activity of the AFU on the #Kherson section of the front is related to an attempt to keep our forces here from being redeployed to more important directions

▪️ The enemy is pursuing propaganda purposes here (the clearly mounted video from the GUR proves it, the "zrada" was passed off as "peremoga") and is trying to indirectly influence the decision-making of the top military leadership of the Russian Armed Forces. After the breakthrough of our defenses in October 2022 in the northeast of the #Kherson region, no commander would give the go-ahead to move forces from his area of responsibility in the face of constant demonstrative SRG landings.

▪️ Suggestions that the AFU is conducting "reconnaissance in combat" against the background of constant use by the enemy of up-to-date satellite data, an extensive network of agents and aerial reconnaissance also do not stand up to criticism.

▪️ Possible plans of the enemy to seize a bridgehead on our bank of the #Dnepr are also questionable. The practice of fighting on the small river #Ingulets in the summer and autumn of 2022 showed that our front moved under the onslaught of the enemy south of the village of Davydov Brod only after the flank of the deterrent grouping of the Russian Army was bare, and the units had not yet received reinforcements and ammunition. On the #Dnepr River, such a manoeuvre by the AFU would require a single engagement of thousands of troops and serious artillery support.

▪️ However, the AFU has reportedly moved its main forces to other directions following the abandonment of #Kherson by the RF Armed Forces. The enemy shore is defended by the units of the Territorial Defence, Separate Reconnaissance Battalions, a few groups of saboteurs - GUR and Forces of Special Operation.

📌 Thus, we should expect constant landings of enemy SRGs in the area with simultaneous information support. The #Dnepr River floodplain and the islands will be in the "grey zone", where the warring parties will try to establish themselves in the form of observation posts and places of long-term service. Artillery duels will continue: the enemy has American counter-battery radars and high-precision artillery. Strikes by our aircraft are hampered by enemy air defences.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🚫 On the Introduction of Restrictions on Media Work in the South of #Ukraine⚡️

A couple of days ago, the Operational Command "South" of the AFU announced the introduction of restrictions on the activities of media personnel in the command's area of responsibility in #Odessa, #Nikolayev, #Kherson and #Dnepropetrovsk regions.

Under the new requirements, journalists and reporters have been assigned three zones: a "red" zone where media presence is strictly forbidden, a "yellow" zone where media personnel are allowed to work in the presence of a specially authorised officer and a "green" zone with no restrictions.

🔹Why is this done?

The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly tried to restrict the work of foreign media, especially in the area of hostilities or within the radius of possible missile and drone strikes. Ukrainian propaganda is fundamentally based on falsified data and disinformation.

The presence of staff from Western news agencies - or rather media not under the control of the Ukrainian authorities - is a big problem for Ukrainian infobots. Western journalists could easily publish something that would completely smash propaganda built on lies.

🔹Which areas have been restricted for media work?

🔴 "Red Zone":

Entirely banned from visiting military bases, firing ranges, ports and airfields, as well as other critical infrastructure. Also, journalists are not allowed to work in areas bordering #Transnistria.

In #Nikolayev and #Kherson regions, reporters are not allowed to work in #Pravdino, Posad-Pokrovskoye, #Kiselevka, #Novopetrovka, #Lyubomirovka, #Snigirevka, Davydov Brod, Belaya Krinitsa and #Vysokopolye. In these localities, training activities for the mobilized are taking place, among other things.

Media workers are also prohibited from approaching the banks of the #Dnieper-Bug estuary, the #Ingulets River and the #Kakhovka Reservoir, where SRGs operate on boats, and there is active training of assault groups on forcing water obstacles.

🟡 "Yellow Zone":

Accompanied by authorised representatives of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, journalists and reporters are able to work in several settlements in the #Nikolayev and #Dnepropetrovsk regions. Some of them are also equipped with training grounds for the mobilized. Filming along the Black Sea coast is possible with restrictions.

📌 Such Restrictions are perfectly logical in wartime conditions, so the measures taken by the Ukrainian authorities are not surprising. However, the creation of "red zones" is a double-edged sword, as it directly points out important positions and facilities to watch out for.

Since members of the media are banned from going there, it means that there is something of interest in the area, something that ordinary citizens should not see, much less be leaked to the media.

The Alibey Nature Reserve south of #Odessa on the Black Sea coast is partially included in the red zone. Near the conservation area there is a testing ground of "Tuzla", where the "Grom-2" missile defence system is tested). At present four missile launchers are deployed near #Tuzla.

In addition, the activities of journalists near the border with #Transnistria are completely banned. This is due to the concentration of several hundred people and dozens of weapons near the PMR, which is constantly denied by Kiev. There are also dozens of foreign mercenaries operating in the border villages.

And the establishment of the "red zone" along the #Kakhovka reservoir, the #Dnieper and the Dnieper-Bug estuary is mostly related to preparations for an AFU counterattack and the probable forcing (https://t.me/rybar/44982) of the water barrier to divert the attention of Russian troops from the main strike.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until 16:00 on 24 July 2023⚡️

🗓 In the morning, Ukrainian SRGs in three boats again attempted to land on #Antonovsky Island, moving from the #Koshevoy River, but were detected by Russian fighters.

🔥 As a result of dense MLRS fire, one boat with six people on board was destroyed and the other two returned back to #Kherson without reaching their destination.

▪️ There were no significant changes in the other sections. The AFU has increased the intensity of shelling on Russian positions. Just a week ago there were 25-30 attacks in average, now the number has exceeded 40-45.

▪️ And they are using both barrel and rocket artillery, MLRS and mortars, as well as copters with VOGs for strikes. Guidance is provided by Bayraktar UAVs and counterbattery radars.

▪️ Tactical aviation aircraft also continue to fly from the #Voznesensk airfields, shelling areas near the rear. Su-24Ms from the #Starokonstantinov airfield equipped with Storm Shadow missiles are being used for deep strikes.

▪️ The ASPIDE anti-aircraft missile system and air target detection radar has been moved to #Muzykovka to cover them and catch Russian aircraft.

📌 And at a distance from the line of contact, US instructors are training AFU assault groups in #Galaganovka and #Limantsy. On the #Ingulets River, Ukrainian squads train to force water barriers, probably as part of a future offensive operation.

🔹The AFU continue to "probe" the ground near the #Dnieper, sending one reconnaissance group after another to gain a foothold on the islands to the southeast of #Kherson.

▪️ Yesterday, two enemy SRGs of five men each on two boats attempted to land on #Melky Island. One of the boats was destroyed by artillery fire, while the other managed to unload the group and land the wounded Territorial Defence militants.

▪️ On the way back, having come under heavy fire, the boat was also hit along with five men on board. The evacuation was disrupted, but there is still a Mate of the AFU at an observation post on the island.

▪️ The command of the Ukrainian group "Kherson" sent another group at nightfall. The boat was moving to the #Dnieper along the #Ingulets River, where it was destroyed by an attack drone of the RF Armed Forces.

📌 Attempts by the AFU to gain a foothold on the islands are currently unsuccessful. Russian fighters stand ready, shelling the approaches to the coast. However, the enemy deployed additional fire groups of the 406th Separate Artillery Brigade to the #Kherson - #Tyaginka line, intending to strengthen the fire cover of the assault groups.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until 18:00 on 14 September 2023⚡️

🔹The AFU continue to consolidate their positions on the left bank of the #Dnieper River for further sorties to the rear of the Russian grouping. Over the past day, the enemy made several attempts to rotate personnel at observation points in different areas.

▪️ Last night on #Alyoshkinsky Island, the AFU attempted to bring in a SRG by boat to replace a group of 126th Territorial Defence Brigade, but it was destroyed by Russian artillery. Two more groups were travelling south along the #Ingulets River, but were forced to turn around and return.

▪️ Two more boats with groups of six from #Ponyatovka and #Sadovoye intended to land west of Cossack Camps, but one boat was successfully hit near #Dariyevka and the other went upstream of the #Ingulets.

🔹Eastwards, a SRG in one boat landed on #Kazatsky Island once again under cover of mortar fire. At the same time, Russian troops hit one boat near #Olgovka and destroyed a mortar.

📌 The situation in the island zone remains the same. The AFU are landing on the left bank, but so far they have made no attempt to move inland. This is facilitated by regular strikes by Russian troops against the enemy's boats and strongholds, which prevents the Ukrainian formations from establishing supplies on the opposite side.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Kherson Direction until 15:00 on 16 October 2023⚡️

🗓 Last night, an Ukrainian sabotage group carried out a landing on the left bank of the #Dnieper River. The SRG, operating from a bridgehead northwest of #Podstepnoye attacked positions near Cossack Camps.

▪️ Another unit, which had landed the day before on #Frolova Island, began shelling the village of #Krynki. As a result of the fighting, the attacks were repulsed. The group that had been operating on #Alyoshkin Island withdrew to its western part, while the one on #Frolova Island came under attack.

▪️ In anticipation of this, on 13 and 14 October, the AFU moved up to 80 men in 16 boats to the islands of #Alyoshkinsky, #Alekseyevsky, A#ntonovsky, #Melky and #Frolova. Somewhere it was due to reinforcement, but somewhere it was due to rotation and removal of wounded and killed due to regular strikes by the Russian Army.

❗️Now the situation near the #Dnieper is relatively stable. However, the AFU has noticeably increased shelling of Russian positions on the left bank, using HIMARS MLRS and cluster munitions.

▪️ In #Poniatovka, Mortar crews of the 35th Separate Marines Brigade are stationed, indicating that the forces of the "Katran" Strike Group are moving to the frontline. Along the #Ingulets River, there is movement of columns, probably of Marine Brigades.

📌 This suggests that the AFU will soon become more active near# Kherson. Yesterday's sortie and the appearance of bards in the Dnieper-Bug estuary appear to have been a test of the state of defence near the #Dnieper, and such attacks will become more frequent from now on.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ AFU Breakthrough in the #Kherson Direction at the End 17 Oct 2023⚡️

🔹 In the afternoon, 2 assault groups of the 35th and 36th Marine Brigades continued the attack along the railway bridge. Supported by artillery and FPVs, they took #Poyma village.

▪️ The enemy took up defence, and according to some reports, after reinforcements arrived, they reached the northern outskirts of #Peschanovka, taking several houses.

▪️ Artillery struck the clusters, causing AFU losses. Some of the seriously wounded were evacuated to the northern island part. However, the situation in #Poyma and #Peschanovka remains a mystery due to the "fog of war".

🔹 On the other side near #Sadovoye and #Pridneprovskoye the 501st and 1st Battalions of 36th Separate Marines Brigade (up to 300 militants) are preparing to force the #Dnieper, with the task to take #Peschanovka and reach #Podstepnoye.

▪️ North of #Kazatsky and #Melky islands, several more Ukrainian Navy assault groups are preparing to attack the Cossack Camps - #Krynki line. All day on 17 October, weapons and ammunition were transferred from the #Ingulets area.

❗️The tactical success of the 36th Separate Marines Brigade's assault squads creates preconditions for a more active entry of the Katran Strike Group into the fighting in the #Kherson direction.

▪️ This is indirectly confirmed by the movement of counterbattery weapons to the contact line, such as the Cobra and AN/TPQ-36 radars, as well as Bukovel EW stations, which, as a rule, are kept at a distance due to their value.

📌 And the question arises how such a breakthrough could get into two populated areas. We have been writing for several months that there is a bridgehead of Ukrainian forces in the island zone and in some areas on the left bank of the #Dnieper, but no action has been taken. I would like to think that the threat is now being taken more seriously.
