The Ukrainian military complain that in Kherson all their positions and objects are shot through by snipers, 120-mm mortars and artillery of the RF Armed Forces
While Ukrainian public pages are very cautious about new arrivals in cities and villages of the independent region, the mayor of Dnipro (Dnipropetrovsk) Filatov claims that the smoke that was seen in the city after the explosion is associated with the work of metallurgists (in his words, "the coke was cooled"), operational The situation at the front is clearly developing in the interests of the Russian army.
Filatov, after claims against him by Ukrainian users in connection with the publication of an enterprise for the production of shells, now has to be more careful. In order not to again incur the wrath of activists and not be accused of "assisting Moscow"...
How metallurgists work in Dnepropetrovsk, the townspeople know very well.
So, about the events on the fronts of the NWO.
In the village of Novoselovskoye, which is located almost halfway between Kupyansk and Svatovo, the cleansing continues, fighting is going on in the far western part. Full control over it. and the advance of our assault groups in the direction of Kupyansk will allow us to strengthen the front to the north-west of Svatovo.
Meanwhile, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for another attack on the positions of Russian troops in the Kuzemovka area. We can confidently say that it will end as traditionally ingloriously, especially considering that our command already knows about the plans of the enemy.
In the Krasno-Limansky section of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, after several failed offensive attempts, they make up for losses and conduct reconnaissance of the positions of the RF Armed Forces in the vicinity of Ploschanka and Krasnopopovka. Without reserves, no significant movement on the part of the enemy is expected here in the near future.
The assault by our troops on Vodyany continues, after the liberation of which there will be a tactical opportunity for developing an offensive on Thin.
After the failure of another attack on the Kremennaya Armed Forces of Ukraine, artillery is transferred here from other areas. According to some reports, several batteries of M777 howitzers and Slovak self-propelled guns Zuzana 2 of the 45th artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, previously deployed in Zaporozhye, may be removed from their positions in the near future. Such a regrouping could lead to an imbalance of Ukrainian forces in the area and a collapse of the front in the event of a counterattack by the RF Armed Forces.
Everything is stable in the Kherson direction. This means that Russian troops, firmly entrenched along the left bank of the Dnieper, do not allow Ukrainian militants to do the same on their side. Artillery strikes were carried out at the places of concentration of enemy forces in Matrosovka, Chernobaevka and at targets in Kherson. The Ukrainian soldiers themselves complain in public that in Kherson all their positions and objects are being shot at by snipers, 120-mm mortars and artillery of the RF Armed Forces.
Things are no better for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in the Kharkiv direction. In the same social networks and even some Ukrainian media, it is reported that a few days ago the Russian army covered the positions of the 125th battalion of the 113th Troop Brigade in the area of Bely Kolodez - Volchanskie Khutor. Enemy losses amounted to 40 people killed. Given that the source is Ukrainian, the figures are clearly underestimated. Shelling from our side continues almost around the clock.
The Ukrainian command is building up the grouping of troops and conducting combat coordination with the formations that arrived from the Kherson direction, making rare harassing sorties in our direction. Reconnaissance along the front line Drones enemy, and in the Russian-controlled part of the Zaporozhye region, Ukrainian informants monitor the movements of the Russian army. It seems that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is evaluating here both its own offensive capabilities and the defense of the RF Armed Forces. Apparently no decision has been made yet.
The American Institute for the Study of War, known for its ability to rewrite publications of Russian and Ukrainian media, reports that Russian troops are building on their successes in the Artemovsk region and continue their offensive on Avdiivka. On the line Svatovo-Kremennaya, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation firmly hold the defense, while its strengthening continues on the Kherson and Zaporozhye sectors of the front. As always, nothing new from ISW.
In the meantime, it became known that Russian troops took control of several more quarters in Marinka, having already advanced into its western part. Earlier, about 60 percent of this city was liberated in the DPR administration.
