The RF Armed Forces repulsed enemy offensive attempts in several directions at once, including an attack by five BTGs northeast of Kherson
Judging by the latest report of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intend to continue trying to attack at once in several areas. It is possible that the enemy is actively probing our defenses in order to look for weak points where a counterattack will be launched. At the same time, the RF Armed Forces are trying to gain a foothold on the defensive lines and successfully repel all attacks. Now for directions.
In the Kupyansky direction, the enemy sent two reinforced battalions into battle, trying to develop an offensive towards Pershotravnevy (Pervomaysky), Kislovka, Tabaevka, Berestovoye. The attack bogged down, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated to the starting line, losing about 80 militants and more than ten pieces of equipment, including five tanks.
In the Krasny Liman area, the Ukrainian military tried to force the Zherebets River, again unsuccessfully. Judging by the number of people killed (more than 30 nationalists) and destroyed cars, including pickups, the attack was carried out in small groups.
Larger forces were involved in the Nikolaev-Kryvyi Rih direction (northeast of Kherson), where up to five battalion tactical groups (BTGs), which included foreign mercenaries, were thrown into the breakthrough. The attack bogged down, the enemy was driven back to their original positions. In just one day, more than 300 Ukrainian servicemen, seven tanks, 13 armored combat vehicles and 17 vehicles were destroyed in this direction.
Military experts believe that in the north of the Kherson region, the front has generally stabilized, for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the current location of the parties on the ground leaves only a small area convenient for advancement. But it is also under the fire control of Russian artillery.
In the place of the breakthrough in the LPR, in the area of Kremennaya and Rubezhnoye, there is rugged terrain, where it is difficult to work with light maneuverable groups, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been advancing in the Kharkiv region and the Luhansk Republic for the last month. Therefore, in this area, an attack on Svatovo with the designation of actions on Kremennaya across the open steppe area is not ruled out. But Svatovo is closer to the former Russian border, making it easier to supply the defending Allied forces. The Armed Forces of Ukraine run the risk of meeting serious resistance here, however, as in other sectors of the front.
