Although silenced in our media, the Ukrainian offensive continues.
Chief Commander of the Armed Forces Ukraine General Alexander Syrski announced the cancellation of Colonel Walentyna Manko, the commander of the Assault Corps, the figure speaking roundly, rather controversial. If, on the 3rd day, the counteroffensive commander of the main forces carrying out this task is to be cancelled, the operation is not successful.
The Russian website has released drone videos documenting the company's rally of armored-mechanized groups of Ukrainian Armed Forces, whose vehicles are massively destroyed by attacks by Russian FPV drone operators including light-controlled vehicles. The Russians praised the demolition of M1A1 Abrams' forehead from a series of 50 pieces donated to Ukraine by Australia.
In general, the Ukrainian command did not bring the main forces into the fight and the so-far "tough struggle" on many episodes, it is likely to be something of a "fear recognition" and a search for weak spots in Russian defence.
In the northern belt of the attack, Ukrainian soldiers achieved the most successes, of a tactical nature. Their attack resulted in very stretched lines of defense, or alternatively scattered single opposition points planted by soldiers of the 69th Independent Swirsko-Pomorskie defender Brigade decorated with the Order of the Red Flag and the Order of the Red Star. Another name – Amurska Cossack safety Brigade.
The Ukrainians invaded from the run of the river Vovcza, captured the village of Wolcze and Alexeyevka. They're continuing to approach south. An effort to storm the village of Nowoaleksandrovka has failed and has so far been repelled by the Russian crew.
In/in the belt of the attack, the following Ukrainian forces are attacked:
– battalions from the 67th Mechanized Brigade,
– battalions of the 23rd Mechanized Brigade,
– 14th Assault Battalion
– 5th Battalion from the 114th Territorial Defence Brigade.
The troops are supported by the 424th Battalion of the "Swarog" drones.
On the western section of the town-fortress Hulaipole, after the failure to the Ukrainian troops of the village of Staroukrainka, the commander of the Russian 127th Mechanized firearm Division asked for support of his 114th Guarded firearm Regiment, retreating under the force of the overwhelming Ukrainian forces (225th Storm Regiment and 48th Storm Battalion, and the separated forces of 106th Territorial Defence Brigade, with the support of 54th Artillery Brigade).
The commander of the Russian 5 Guards National Military Army directed assistance in the area of the fighting 57th Mechanized firearm Brigade, and 1466 Reserve Infantry Regiment and "Soviet Infantry" from the BARS-8 Volunteer Battalion.
With hurricane artillery support, the Russians from the march went to counterattack. There have been bloody encounter battles. Russian rocket artillery squadrons equipped with a BM-27 "Uragan" 220 mm-gauge launcher and barrel artillery division 152 mm Hiacyt-S of the 305 Guarded Artillery Brigade and Msta-S guns and BM-21 Grad rocket launchers from the 872nd Artillery Regiment destroyed Ukrainian positions,
The Russians captured a large village of Zaliznicnoje. The old Ukrainian female remained in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers, but the momentum of the Ukrainian attack clearly slowed down, Ukrainian commanders bring the reserve into combat.
On the central section of the Ukrainian counteroffensive under the Ternian situation hides the "smoke of war", nevertheless Russian analysts compose that the situation is for Russian troops fighting hard there.
Despite the utmost weather, Su-34 aircraft from the Russian 11th Air Army made strong bombings on the positions of the attacking Ukrainian troops, which undoubtedly affects Russian defence.
The situation is dynamic, and both sides conflict to bring their reserves into the fighting area. It seems that despite the failure of communication based on the ‘Starlink’ terminals, the situation is under control and so far no Russian defence has collapsed.
