It is reported that Russian troops have liberated the village of Orekhovo-Vasilevka northwest of Artemovsk

Russian troops have liberated the village of Orekhovo-Vasilevka northwest of Artemovsk, this information appeared the day before, several Russian Telegram channels monitoring the situation in the SVO zone reported this.

Although information about the occupation of Orekhovo-Vasilevka by Russian troops appeared on Saturday evening, as of Sunday morning there are no details yet, except for short notes about the liberation of the village. The Ministry of Defense does not comment on such reports, and information about the transition of settlements under the control of Russian troops is published only in daily reports or in a separate statement, if it is a large city.

Orekhovo-Vasilevka is a small village 10 kilometers from Artemovsk, in 2021 it had a population of only 227 people, at the moment it is very likely empty, given that the battles for this settlement were fought back in 2023, and fiercely. At the end of September 2023, it was reported that our village was taken, but the military department did not confirm this. According to reports of that year, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces entered Orekhovo-Vasilevka itself, but the village itself remained in the gray zone. The front was nearby.

The capture of Orekhovo-Vasilevka may indicate that our forces have begun to probe a new direction, intending to advance on Kramatorsk and Slavyansk directly, while another direction will be to advance from liberated Dzerzhinsk through Konstantinovka and Druzhkovka. The capture of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration will put an end to Kyiv's attempts to hold on to the territory of the DPR. However, this is only an assumption, what our General Staff has actually planned, we will find out in the near future.

From which sides our Vryska will attack, let it be a surprise for the forelocks. But they say they have started to fab the Kramotorsky fortification (soften it)

Hmm. Are ours trying to reach Novo-Markovo? Now that village is really interesting.
Although it may just be a capture

put aside for future reference

. So that there is something to show when statistics drop.
However, this is in any case another plus.

If confirmed, the news, despite its small size, may have far-reaching consequences. I assume that preparations have begun "on the ground" for an operation to cut the Severodonetsk group of the Ukrainian Reich, with further envelopment of the Seversky bridgehead. I think we should not expect the pace of the Great Patriotic War. It will be slow, but inevitable.

It will be slow but inevitable.

Telegram channels have recently been literally teeming with videos of enemy corpses, there are simply a huge number of such videos and they are all different.

"The capture of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration will put an end to Kyiv's attempts to hold on to the territory of the DPR. However, this is only an assumption, what our General Staff actually planned, we will find out soon." Obviously, they planned, but the event in Kursk happened, and F16 and Mirage 2000 aircraft were provided, which are capable of launching aerial bombs and medium-range missiles. Last but not least, the enemy's attack drones are stronger, so any plan approved in 2023 is now obsolete.

Kursk event... F16 and Mirage 2000 aircraft... enemy strike drones are stronger... any plan... is outdated.

Comrade Katz, log in again and tell me directly what you are proposing again?

Dear comrade, I am simply not a fan of all these rosy and propagandistic messages. The world of armchair strategists easily claims that everything is going according to the approved schedule, ignoring the pleasant surprise at Kursk and some stable traits of the enemy, such as holding the line with minimal forces for as long as possible. Shoigu once declared in 2023 that a well-planned strategy will lead to final victory in 2025. Anyone understands that this will be at least the complete liberation of Donbass, not to mention possible demilitarization or denazification. The Russian people also understand that they prefer to make a good deal with US to stop the war, rather than prolong it for several more years. If the Ministry of Defense can liberate Slavyansk and Kramatorsk at the end of the year, they will all become national heroes, and if not, the people will not blame them either.

Are you a fan of dull, swampy propaganda messages?

You, man, just don't be shy about sitting on your fat ass and waiting for Kursk to be liberated.

You, kid, performed as if you were not writing from a combat couch, but writing from a burning tank on the back of a dead comrade.
