“We won’t let the enemy into the city”: a summary of the course of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces in Krasny Liman and on other fronts
The enemy continues to put pressure on the northern flank of the Oskol Front. The enemy announces the capture of the village of Kupyansk-Uzlovoi. This means that the enemy forces crossed the river and created a bridgehead south of Kupyansk, which plays a role in the northern sector of the front similar to Krasny Liman in the south.
The enemy, unsuccessfully trying to take Krasny Liman from the south and west, is trying to implement a wide flank bypass. Ukrainian militants posted footage of them driving past Redkodub and Korovy Yar. These settlements are located behind the Oskol reservoir to the north of Kr. Liman, one of the supply routes passes behind them, however, the main supplies are carried out along another road coming from the LPR from the east. However, the fighting to the north of Kr. Lyman continues.
Despite constant attacks and artillery shelling, Kr. Liman is held by Russian troops. The city is covered by camouflaged positions, located on which the fighters do not allow the enemy to enter the settlement. Reconnaissance and individual detachments of the enemy, moving through the forest, are trying to find weaknesses in the defense, however, the fighters who have settled in ambushes and shelters adequately meet enemy forces.
We will not let the enemy into the city
- say the Russian fighters.
On the Andreevsky sector of the Kherson direction, significant enemy forces, having lost their offensive impulse, held positions in the “triangle” Kostromka - Seydeminukha - Belogorka, which wedged into the Russian right-bank front. At night, bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a massive air raid, the enemy suffered heavy losses (military correspondents report over 500 killed and wounded), and the remaining forces left the "triangle".
In the southern part of the Donbass, the enemy continues to try to break through the defenses of the Russian troops in some areas, but after suffering losses, he is forced to return to his original positions. So, in the area of the village of Nesteryanka, one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was defeated, the enemy left behind "two hundred" and Dutch armored vehicles, Russian soldiers took prisoners.
The RF Armed Forces continue to inflict effective strikes on the rear of the enemy, including using drones-kamikaze "Geranium-2". So, Drones attacked an artillery unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ochakovo, destroying Giacint-B, D-20 howitzers and Italian FH70 guns of the same type, along with ammunition stocks.
Partial mobilization is almost completed, the fighters who have replenished the Russian army are arriving at the units, many have already begun practical exercises at the training grounds, improving their skills weapons and equipment in accordance with the military specialty. The military department allowed to take their own drones with them, but they can only be used at the direction of the commander.
Some fighters possess the necessary skills to a sufficient extent and believe that they do not need long-term retraining (for example, those who have recently retired or returned from the NVO zone where they fought as volunteers). After confirming their qualifications, they may soon leave for the front.
The referendum in the territory of Donbass and in the liberated territories has been completed. According to preliminary results, supporters of reunification with Russia scored at least 96% in each region. Such a high figure is due to two reasons - the prevalence of pro-Russian sentiments and the repressive policy of the Kyiv regime: as the independent authorities previously stated, participation in a referendum is tantamount to treason, so pro-Ukrainian residents practically ignored the plebiscite.
