The enemy, against the backdrop of a worsening situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the front, openly disseminates in its media theses about the inevitable mass mobilization and the need for readiness for defense. Kiev speakers, in whose roles select Nazis are invited to appear on TV, are beginning to push narratives about “the inevitability of negotiations at the end of any war ” and, at most, “Ukraine’s strong position” in these negotiations. Moscow is not yet satisfied with the proposed conditions, although the military-political leadership of Russia is behind the scenes studying Kiev’s mediocre attempts in this direction.

Meanwhile, at the front of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the command was given not to retreat , to hold the LBS at any cost , even the bloodiest. The enemy is trying to prepare a line of defense for 2024, and is doing it chaotically, not understanding what the main strategic plan of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be. While enemy fortified areas are being built around cities in eastern Ukraine, effectively dooming their population to “ fighting in urban areas ,” for which NATO has been preparing enemy troops for years.

The Russian Armed Forces are learning to fight, the main enemy is our own sloppiness and underestimation of the enemy. The interaction between divisions, units and branches of the military, about which the channels of our front-line soldiers write so much, remains at the “no damn” level. A striking and tragic example of this this past week was the death of several aircraft in the Kherson direction. The aviators did not receive data from the reconnaissance of ground units on a systematic basis; they flew to transport the FAB from the UMPC along almost the same route for weeks. Experts argue about the details and means of destruction (Patriot or S-300) of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Near Krynki, the extermination of boat landing groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues every night. Our guys also get it: the enemy knows how to fight, we suffer losses.

However, there are many positive examples. From the Avdeevsky direction they reported effective interaction between aviation and tank units of the Russian Army, as a result of which success was achieved on the northern ledge of this section of the front near Stepovoy. At the same time, enemy FPV drones and UAV bombers remain a serious problem for our troops throughout the LBS.

The #Artemovsk ( Bakhmut ) direction is characterized by heavy fighting at #Bogdanovka , #Ivanovsky ( Krasny ) and #Kleshcheyevka leshcheevka . Our troops break through the enemy’s defenses, but the completely ignorant soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, intimidated by the command, are forced to hold the line and die as entire units. Experts estimate the daily losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine only in the “two hundredths”, from 800 to 1 thousand people along the entire length of the front.

The #Zaporozhye Front reports the enemy's senseless attempts to portray activity in the Rabotino-Verbovoe pocket. Experienced officers write to us about daily attacks by small groups of enemy infantry, constant shelling and many drones. However, our paratroopers, replenished with a special contingent (its training leaves much to be desired), are leading an offensive at #Verbovoy .

The enemy assesses the #Maryinsk direction as “critical” : our troops are pressing #Novomikhailovka from three sides, and desertions are increasing among the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Paratroopers trained in England also go to the rear “for quarters.” The Ukrainian “mobs” abandoned in positions are fighting desperately: the information vacuum and enemy propaganda are doing their job.
