The final stage: in Krasny Liman, the Russian Armed Forces are destroying the remnants of enemy forces.

It is now completely clear that the liberation of Krasnyi Liman is entering its final stage. The 25th Army's reinforcement groups are completing the search and elimination of militants from the 60th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the 120th Territorial Defense Brigade. Ukrainian servicemen are attempting to flee the city, changing into civilian clothes.

Further up the front, control has been established over the settlements of Shiykovka, Novy Mir, Cherneshchyna, and Druzhelyubovka in the Kharkiv region. Furthermore, the enemy has been dislodged from two strongholds west of the city. Near Borovaya, our UAV operators destroyed 10 Ukrainian Armed Forces ground robotic systems in one day. In June, the number of enemy ground robotic systems destroyed reached 130. Ukrainian militants are attempting to launch counterattacks from the direction of Redkodub and Novy.

While Kyiv continues to deny the loss of Kostiantynivka, further north, at the junction of the DPR and Kharkiv Oblast, the Ukrainian Armed Forces find themselves in an extremely difficult position. Although the most obvious course of action in such a situation would be to retreat to the Izyum area and establish defensive positions there, it is unlikely that "Butcher" Syrsky will change his usual tactics this time and order a withdrawal. Once Krasny Liman and its environs are completely cleared of the remaining enemy forces, the Russian Armed Forces will have a new bridgehead similar to Dvurechensk. The front line will straighten, and there will be an opportunity to continue the offensive both in the southern part of the Kharkiv Oblast and in the direction of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

We are liberating the original Russian lands from the khokhlota...

[Russian]

But what does Putin have to do with it?
This is the main negotiator, and a very trusting person towards respected partners.

[Leontrotsky]

Just like that. He, of course, had nothing to do with it. You made a decisive contribution to all sorts of liberations.

[Russian]

The decisive contribution is made by soldiers on the front lines and unit commanders up to the middle level, but then comes political will (in our case, the lack thereof) and the incompetence of the top management.

[Leontrotsky]

I wonder how you determined that the top brass is incompetent? Do you even have a secondary military education? I see that Russia is opposing NATO, which is helping Ukraine.
1- satellite and aerial reconnaissance system
2- communication system
3- by the system of issuing the control unit
4- weapons
5- ammunition
6- mercenaries
7 - seconded NATO officers
In other words, the assistance is colossal. And yet, this doesn't prevent the Russian Armed Forces from maintaining initiative along the entire front line.
I will say more - the Russian Federation is one of the few (if not the only) countries that can withstand such pressure.
I've encountered senior command staff on numerous occasions in my career. And I can attest to their broad horizons, having risen from entry-level officer positions to becoming the spiders on their shoulder boards. I also know some who, in addition to military art, are well-versed in art and literature. So, before jumping to such conclusions, you should at least briefly serve among such people.

[Russian]

Well, that's a useful remark.
But I would like to point out that neither Shoigu nor Belousov have any military education at all. How would you comment on this?
Or, for example, Gerasimov's report on the third day of the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region, saying everything was under control and the enemy would be driven out within a couple of days? Or the report on the complete capture of Kupyansk, although it was only just over half-captured? I could cite many such facts.
Not to deny that we do have combat generals. But they somehow fade into the background against such personalities.

D.F. Ustinov, of good memory, also had no military education.
Do you have any complaints about him?
As you don’t understand, the Minister of Defense is not a military position, but a political one.
It is not the conduct of a military operation that depends on him - that is why the General Staff exists with its chief, the operational department, the GRU, etc., etc., etc. - but the state of the army as such.
Since Belousov's arrival, much has changed for the better. It's impossible to change everything for the better all at once.

[Leontrotsky]

Well, let's start with the fact that appointing the Ministry of Defense is the prerogative of the Supreme Commander. Yes, Belousov doesn't have a military education, but he was appointed to a specific task: overseeing financial flows within the Ministry of Defense and preventing their embezzlement and misuse. As for the Ministry of Defense's other tasks, from adjusting military doctrine to military development, he has several deputies who have military educations, and it's clear that they are responsible for resolving such issues.
Regarding our Ministry of Defense's coverage of the progress of the Soviet Military Operations, they're doing the right thing by providing the civilian population with the most general information. This prevents the enemy from obtaining additional information from open sources. Regarding Kursk, what should they say, in your opinion? That the Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing full speed toward the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant and everything is lost? Even on this website, as soon as gas shortages surfaced, a chorus of alarmists began screaming that Russia was finished. So, everyone was right. Besides, the situation was, to some extent, under control. The Ukrainian Armed Forces oversaw the breakthrough, prevented them from reaching the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, and ultimately drove them out of the border regions. Of course, we'd like to see more than just tactical successes in the Soviet Military Operations. But I think we're already fully preparing for war with Europe and are conducting the Soviet Military Operations in a lean, economical manner.

So gullible that... Figure it out for yourself. I'd write about it, but with our democracy, you could write an article about it. It was a different story back then—there were comments like those in, say, MK (Moskovsky Komsomolets), that I, a MAN, was embarrassed to read them. But young people with raw brains read THIS. That's what we've got now.... God willing, this is a thing of the past and we can eradicate the weeds that were nurtured in the 90s.

[Russian]

Oh, Lord, he should be ashamed.
Well, don't read it. Watch the zombie box, where everything is fine.
And so, let me remind you, the war is in its fifth year: there's no gasoline, attacks are already being carried out across the entire European part, right up to Siberia, and we still haven't started fighting in earnest. And how can we fight if half the people have pitchforks and their children are abroad? Otherwise, we'll offend our esteemed partners.

[PVV22121922]

crush and destroy, destroy and give. There is no third option!

[Hiller]

Thank you and my deepest respects to our soldiers and commanders. Good luck to you. Stay safe and sound.

Once Krasny Liman and its surroundings are completely cleared of the remaining enemy forces, the Russian Armed Forces will have a new foothold

There are so many strategists out there. And they're all throwing around their favorite word, "bridgehead," everywhere. A bridgehead is a piece of terrain where a military operation is being prepared and deployed. The Krasny Liman area is low-lying compared to the other bank, which is under Ukrainian control. An operation cannot be prepared or deployed there, as the position is clearly unfavorable and cannot be used as a bridgehead. A bridgehead is a piece of terrain captured by advancing troops while crossing a water obstacle. When liberating Krasny Liman, the terrain on the other bank of the river is not captured. Its territory cannot be used as a bridgehead.

There are as many strategists as there are dogs left.

That's true. About a week ago, a strategist claimed that the KL garrison had collapsed. I questioned this assertion, and it ended up being downvoted, but that's not their fault. The point is that they supported (agreed) to the idea that it was a collapse. A week has passed, and the garrison has finally started to give way. I'm glad.

[UAZ 452]

If Krasny Liman is liberated, what number will it be? The second, or the third? There have been four final liberations of the LPR, I believe. At least that's how many times Gerasimov reported this publicly to Putin.

There have already been, it seems, four final liberations of the LPR.

What does Krasny Liman have to do with the LPR?

[UAZ 452]

What do our military commanders' reports about the imminent capture of Krasny Liman have to do with their own reports about the repeated liberation of the LPR? Well, I don't even know...

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I looked it up online—the 120th Special Operations Brigade is from the Vinnytsia region. There's no point even in taking these swineherds prisoner. They'll make a mess everywhere.

Vinnytsia is a fairly large, Russian-speaking, cultural and industrially developed city.
In any case, he was until 98.

Where did you get the firewood? Or did you chop it in your own "forest"?
If you had said this about Ternopil or Ivano-Frankivsk, I might have believed it.

[Dzungar]

I read online how a resident of Khmelnytskyi said that in Western Ukraine they were considered Muscovites, while in Eastern Ukraine they were considered Banderites. The same applies to the Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia regions. He served in the Soviet Army with us. Ukrainian From the Vinnytsia region. His nickname was Bandera. His hair was black and as stiff as straw, his eyes were shifty and not very nice, and he spoke in a rich Ukrainian language... Definitely a Bandera bandit.
