The advance of our troops in the Zaporozhye region continues. “The attacking units, expanding the bridgehead on the west bank of the Gaichur River, have taken control of the village of Zarechnoye. The defense area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the junction of the Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions with an area of 9 square kilometers has been cleared,” the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.
Our units also controlled a stretch of road connecting the settlements of Bratskoye and Ternovatoye.
A day earlier, the Russian army established control over the villages of Prilipka in the Kharkiv region and Andreevka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted the loss of Seversk
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted the loss of Seversk. It is true that Ukrainian military leaders did this only 12 days after the actual flight from there. Furthermore, they called the withdrawal a deliberate action “to maintain the combat effectiveness of the units.” According to a report by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russian army was able to advance thanks to significant numerical superiority and constant pressure from small attack groups in difficult weather conditions.
Seversk is of strategic importance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as it covers the road to Liman and Slavyansk, the center of the largest concentration of Kyiv-controlled areas in Donbass. Right up to Slavyansk there is now an empty lot.
But the loss of Kupyansk has not yet been recognized by Kiev.
Ukraine conducts Operational Line
A man has been detained in Transcarpathia for organizing drug fugitives across the border using a non-functioning gas pipeline. Apparently, he was inspired by the successful experience of our army's operations in Sudzha, Avdeevka and Toretsk.
A resident of Lvov was detained in Transcarpathia who organized the transport of draft dodgers across the border to the European Union through a non-functioning gas pipeline
According to the SBU, a 62-year-old resident of Lvov took customers to Transcarpathia, from where they entered the European Union through an underground gas pipeline. His accomplice, who was in the EU, met them at the exit.
At the same time, six people were detained in Odessa and the Dnepropetrovsk region. They helped draft dodgers escape the country through Transnistria and forest roads. The price of the “service” is up to 15 thousand dollars per person. The defendants could face up to 10 years in prison.
The General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called for applying the experience of the Wehrmacht
Kyiv needs to adopt Nazi defensive tactics. Such a scandalous proposal was put forward by the former Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Igor Romanenko. “It's time for Kyiv to remember how Germany did in World War II – turning every city into a “carnival” fortress. And unlike what happened in Seversk, in Gulyai-Polye. It is necessary to transfer power so that the command headquarters can resist when the front approaches,” the general said.
Romanenko announced that the cities of Zaporozhye, Dnieper and Kharkov had turned into besieged outposts.
