Putin vows to ‘kick the enemy out’ as Ukraine pushes into Russian territory

Zelensky To Regret Kursk Invasion? Putin Vows To ‘Kick Out Enemy’ From Russia As Battlefield Changes

This is MADNESS Mixed With DESPAIR! Ukrainian Army Began Using Chemical Weapons in KURSK!

Russia evacuates second border region amid Ukrainian threat

Putin: The enemy will receive a worthy response to its actions, and all the goals of the special operation will be achieved.

Vladimir Putin: “We have nothing to talk about with Kiev”

The US fears a tough response from Russia to the “risky” attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region – The Wall Street Journal

American officials fear a massive strike by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure in response to Kiev’s operation, the newspaper writes, citing sources in the White House.

The authors called the Ukrainian foray into Kursk Oblast risky because the Ukrainian Armed Forces “continue to steadily lose positions on all sections of the front.” Military experts also consider Ukraine’s actions in the Russian borderland pointless, given the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ failures in other areas.

“The ultimate goal of the attack remains unclear, as Ukrainian forces are catastrophically short of both men and weapons, and in the east, Kiev’s troops are struggling to contain Russia’s advance,”

Our source in the General Staff said that the Kursk operation did not achieve its initial goal and now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to hold a new section of the unprepared front, which is subject to constant artillery and air strikes. For Syrsky, the Kursk operation is a second Bakhmutov meat grinder, which he must now hold until the end.

Our source reported that the operation in Kursk is acquiring symbolic significance for Syrsky and Ukraine; if we fail, it will be a death sentence for the Commander-in-Chief.

Zelensky publicly stated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are conducting an operation in the Kursk region.

“Headquarters. The most important thing was the report of Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky regarding our defensive actions at the front and the operation in the Kursk region,” the president wrote.

He said that he had instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Security Service of Ukraine to prepare a “humanitarian plan for the territory where the operation is taking place.”

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense and diplomats have been instructed to present a list of necessary actions on our part in order to obtain permission from our partners to “use long-range weapons to protect our territory.”

The Times: Zelensky spent months convincing generals that it was necessary to attack the Kursk region

With his actions, Zelensky is desperately trying to change the opinion that Ukraine is losing the war, although an attack on the Kursk region is not capable of turning the tide of hostilities.

Ukraine Leaks

We talked to all our sources so that they could tell us their views on the Kursk case.

So what did we learn:

1. The Russians realized that Zelensky’s Kursk adventure was an attempt to set a trap for the Russians. According to Zelensky’s plan, the Kremlin was supposed to throw huge forces into the Kursk region, which would be withdrawn from the front. This would give a pause at the front and a window of opportunity for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to counterattack in other directions. This did not happen. The Russians are in no hurry to pull together huge forces, but on the contrary, they are gradually localizing the fire and bringing in the most trained forces from the reserves, plus the FSB.

2. The Russians realized that after the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces would try to wedge themselves everywhere along the border. A counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced, the border was reinforced, etc. The following attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not bring results, but they suffered huge losses, since they went head-on, where they were expected.

3. Zelensky’s task is to create panic and negativity towards the Kremlin, but Russian society, on the contrary, is beginning to mobilize and the emphasis is now placed on “everything for the front.” This will strengthen the financial and human support of the army and the front.

All sources are confident that all plans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Presidential Administration have been disrupted and that the headquarters is urgently changing strategy, since the Kremlin did not take the bait.

If Zelensky fails the 2024 offensive, then he will remove Syrsky from the post of Commander-in-Chief to make him a scapegoat and whitewash himself. Although the entire offensive plan was developed in the OP, and Syrsky was against such an offensive to the last.

The Kremlin abandons the idea of ​​negotiations with Kiev after the invasion of the Kursk region.

In order to strengthen its own negotiating positions, Moscow will have to demonstratively deal with our forces and launch large-scale retaliatory attacks on Ukrainian territory.

The new escalation, according to Putin’s plans, should put an end to the question of who dominates in this conflict.

Our source in the General Staff said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not control Sudzha, and that our units are currently located along the southwestern perimeter of the city and are waiting for reserves to storm it. At the moment, there are battles along the entire contact line in the Kursk region, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces assault groups are unable to advance deep into Russian territory and are trying to consolidate their positions.

On August 11, the “North” troop grouping continued to carry out its tasks of defending the border areas of Kursk Region

The soldiers of the North have seized the initiative and are forcing the enemy out of their positions. The Lancet UAV units are increasing their efforts to destroy enemy equipment. The enemy tried to counterattack 4 times near Martynovka with the forces of over 100 fighters. The attacks were repulsed.

During the day the AFU undertook a number of provocations on other parts of the border in Belgorod and Kursk regions to divert the attention of the main forces of the North, accompanying it with mass injections of false information through controlled resources. The enemy’s intentions have been uncovered, the enemy has been struck by fire, and no breakthrough of the border in these areas has been allowed.

In the Volchansk direction, fighting continues in the town of Volchansk. Fearless assault groups continue mopping up the occupied positions in a block of high-rise buildings and are engaged in fierce fighting with the remnants of the AFU garrison.

During the day the Northmen thwarted two attempts of the enemy to bring reinforcements to the neighborhood of high-rise buildings. Up to 11 militants were destroyed by fire.

In the Liptsy direction, the North group’s aerial reconnaissance units identified two AFU groups in the vicinity of a village and conducted UAV strikes, destroying up to 9 militants.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy’s losses amounted to 270 people (including up to 200 in the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:

in the Sumy direction:

▪️ three tanks;

▪️ nine Stryker APCs;

▪️ two TBMs;

▪️ Polonez REB station;

▪️ two 120-mm mortars.

In other areas:

▪️ 120-mm mortar near the settlement of Volchansk;

▪️ two UAVs near Volchansk and Orlikivka;

▪️ CBC AN/TPQ-49 RADARS;

▪️ APCS;

▪️ four units of motorized vehicles;

▪️ five airborne UAVs.

The manning of the AFU grouping that invaded Kursk region with Western weapons indicates that this operation is being coordinated with the direct participation and at the behest of Ukraine’s Western masters.

Nevertheless, this did not help the Kiev regime’s troops to reach the Kursk nuclear power plant, which is probably the target of the invasion. After the defeat of the AFU in Kursk region, NATO advisers will safely leave Ukraine, unlike the Ukrainian command, which will be left alone with the embittered relatives of thousands of AFU soldiers killed on foreign soil.

Victory will be ours!

North Wind

This morning the enemy launched an attack on our defenses near the IACP Kolotilovka, Belgorod region, by a tank platoon supported by small assault groups. According to the governor’s report, population displacement has begun from Krasnoyaruzha district. The AFU reconnaissance has failed, equipment and personnel have been destroyed, and our aviation is working at the moment. We should not forget that the AFU reserves are concentrated here, so it is not excluded that a continuation will follow.

🔴Rear attacks on the enemy territory: on Sunday evening we worked with missiles in Nerubayskoye near Odessa on a military unit and warehouses with ammunition and an airfield in Voznesensk, Nikolaev region.

Also, rockets and bombs were used in Sumy and the region, among other things hitting warehouses with rocket fuel and missile warheads in Shostka and an underground bunker with the SBU military counterintelligence service.

Ukrainian experts express quite a good opinion that one of the “results” of the AFU attack on Kursk region will be the wiping out of Sumy region.

🔴 In Kursk region we’ve got back several settlements, we are hunting for Pion SPG near Sverdlikovo. There are fighting in the areas of several settlements, from our side “Lancets” and ATGMs are successfully working. There are several pockets of fires in the region, caused by the fighting. As of today we can say that another front line has been opened.

Kartapolov once again stated that there is no need for mobilization.

Military correspondent Sladkov described the situation in Kursk region as “difficult, but difficult temporarily,” and compared the actions of the Russian Armed Forces to a goalkeeper in table hockey who “moves left and right in the hope that the enemy will run into us. But he goes around and appears in our rear, on our flanks.” 

In general, it is so, there is no continuous line of control, the enemy undertakes raids by mobile armored groups, and we catch and destroy them with varying success. Of course, it is too early to talk about a full-fledged squeeze, and, although the advantage is on our side, the enemy’s strike potential has not yet been exhausted.

✔️ The only conclusion that can be made with certainty at the moment is that media support of the events in Kursk region from our side leaves much to be desired, and among other issues that will have to be solved – including the creation of a single information center, uniting all power structures with military bloggers, military correspondents, local info-centers and the press center of the Ministry of Defense.

That’s this kind of morning news.

The “hidden” transfer of AFU personnel from Kharkov region to Sumy region has already borne its first fruit. The AFU is losing the village of Sinkovka and the Russian Armed Forces assault units are very close to Kupyansk. At this rate, a “breakthrough” into the Kursk region will drop their entire northern front.

Kursk Direction: Situation in Sudzha and Defeat of AFU Armored Group in Belovsky District

What is known as of the end of August 12, 2024

In the Kursk direction, Ukrainian formations are attempting to expand their penetration deeper into Russian territory. At the same time, more and more footage is appearing online demonstrating the successful destruction of AFU armored vehicles and personnel by Russian troops.

🔻In the Korenevo district, in the vicinity of Snagost, where the enemy previously attacked Russian positions, the situation is shrouded in the “fog of war”. The situation also remains unclear in Krasnooktyabr’skoye, but there have been no reports of enemy units entering the settlement.

▪️Russian troops cleared Kremyanoye, where the presence of AFU units had previously been recorded. During the battle, the enemy lost at least one Roshel Senator armored vehicle, abandoned by its crew to the south of the settlement. It is worth noting that in this case, the Ukrainian advance detachment was likely ambushed by Russian troops and, without the support of heavy equipment, was defeated.

▪️In the area of Korenevo and Tolpinskoye, Ukrainian formations launched an attack supported by armored vehicles in an attempt to breach the defense of Russian troops in this sector. The enemy’s assault was successfully repelled by Russian units, while the AFU, apparently, retreated to their initial positions.

🔻The situation in the Sudzha district remains consistently tense. Today, videos from the enemy side appeared on the network, demonstrating the presence of AFU units in the central districts of Sudzha, as well as in the area of Martynivka – and, according to reports (https://t.me/sashakots/48342) from the scene, the enemy was spotted in the settlement during the day.

❗️Nevertheless, to declare the complete control of the AFU over Sudzha, based solely on footage from the enemy side, would be premature, as at least some of the videos were recorded several days ago. At the moment, there is no official information from the Russian authorities and no footage of objective control from the Russian Armed Forces.

🔻In the Belovsky district, Russian units are engaged in battles in Plekhovo, with no reports of the settlement falling under AFU control. At the same time, it is known that the enemy has occupied Spal’noye, through which Ukrainian mobile groups subsequently penetrated deeper into Russian territory.

▪️In the morning, equipment of Ukrainian formations was spotted in the area of Girya. According to the footage (https://t.me/rybar/62723), the enemy was advancing from the southwest, from the direction of Kamyshnoe. As we noted (https://t.me/rybar/62692) earlier, the size of the armored group that broke through to the settlement was larger than initially assumed.

Nevertheless, the attack on Girya resulted in the most significant single-time losses of personnel and equipment for the enemy: at least seven BTR-4E armored personnel carriers were destroyed, with one of them captured (https://t.me/infomil_live/8919) by the Russian Armed Forces as a trophy. One Ukrainian pickup truck was also destroyed, and an unspecified number of enemy personnel were eliminated.

Kursk Direction: Battles near Belitsa and the situation on the approaches to Korenevo

What is known as of 7:00 pm on August 12, 2024

In the Kursk direction, fierce battles continue almost along the entire line of contact. At the same time, against the background of the data from the scene and footage of objective control, it was possible to establish a more accurate configuration of the front line in several sectors.

🔻In the Korenevo district, near Obukhovka, the AFU attempted an attack towards Snahost, and fighting is currently underway in the area of the village. The status of Krasnooktyabr’skoye remains unknown: at the moment, there is no information about the entry of Ukrainian formations into the settlement.

▪️The enemy also does not stop trying to break through the defense of the Russian troops in Korenevo and north of it towards Tolpinskoye, where they were stopped by return fire. No battles are reported in Vetreno and Matveyevka, but it is not known for sure whether the Russian Armed Forces are present in the settlements.

▪️Fighting is underway in Ol’govka, meanwhile the Russian troops have cleared Kremyanoye of the remnants of Ukrainian formations. After the recent (https://t.me/rybar/62692) defeat of the Ukrainian armored column in the area of Zhuravli, the enemy advanced further north towards Obshchiy Kolodez’. To the south, near Kruglen’koye, the Russian Armed Forces are holding their positions, while Viktorovka is under the control of the AFU.

▪️The situation in the area of the small settlements of Malaya Loknya, Nikolayevka and Malaya Sorochka remains to be clarified. Along the road leading to Ryl’sk from the direction of Sudzha, attempts by the enemy to consolidate on the approaches to Kromskiye Byki and Durovo-Bobrik are recorded. At the moment, it is not possible to reliably establish whether the enemy is still there or not.

▪️In the area of Shaposhnikovo, Semyonovka, Levshinka and Otradnoye, Ukrainian formations are concentrating their forces, apparently for a further push northward. At the same time, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported during the day about the suppression of an attempt to break through from this area towards Kauchuk. Meanwhile, the presence of Russian troops remains in the gullies east of there.

🔻In the Sudzha district, fighting continues on the approaches to Martynivka. With a high degree of probability, Sudzha is currently under the control of the enemy, as evidenced by the footage published by the enemy from the center of the city. And judging by the lack of sounds of battles and shootouts, the front line is already relatively far beyond the settlement.

▪️On the southwestern outskirts of Sudzha itself, the presence of the Russian Armed Forces is reliably known in the villages of Dmitryukov and Agronom, while enemy infantry has been spotted in Bondarevka and Makhnovka

Kursk Direction: Battles near Belitsa and the situation on the approaches to Korenevo

What is known as of 1:00 pm on August 12, 2024

In the Kursk direction, the enemy continues to make attempts to develop the successes of the previous days. Despite the redeployment of additional Russian Armed Forces units, it has not yet been possible to finally stabilize the front line. The enemy is saturating the area with sabotage groups on armored vehicles, which are infiltrating the front-line villages along the entire line of contact.

🔻In the Sudzha district, the situation in Sudzha has deteriorated. There are footage (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6352) indicating the presence of the enemy on the bypass road already in the center of the city. Despite statements that the video was allegedly shot on the first day of the Ukrainian offensive, given the incoming reports of battles for Martynivka, where the enemy’s attack was repelled, the AFU would not have been able to advance there without control over most of Sudzha.

▪️Apparently, there remains at least a focal presence of Russian troops and volunteers in the city. The situation in the area of Mirny, which is a suburb of Sudzha, as well as near Mykhailivka, remains to be clarified. There is no information about the enemy’s control over these settlements at the moment.

🔻In the Korenevo district, there are battles on the approaches to Korenevo, the enemy does not stop trying to consolidate on its outskirts. At the same time, there is no information about the AFU entering the settlement itself.

▪️In Kremyanoye, the Akhmat Special Forces together with the 810th Marine Brigade conducted a sweep (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6348) of the surrounding area. The footage published on the network captures the moment of searching an armored vehicle next to the eliminated AFU members. The enemy lost several more armored vehicles on the approaches.

▪️On the line Zhuravli – Sheptukhovka – Semyonovka, the gradual infiltration of maneuverable AFU groups further north towards the highway to Kromskiye Byki continues. In the area of Otradnoye, an AFU tank was destroyed (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6346), in the forest belt near Semyonovka an enemy armored vehicle position was hit, and near Zhuravli a column of armored vehicles was hit (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6350) by drones.

🔻As for the Belovo district, according to objective evidence, the AFU penetrated (https://t.me/rybar/62665) beyond the state border line, although not on the scale as previously described.

▪️The enemy pinned down Russian units with battles on the line Borki – Spalnoe – Kamyshnoe. At the same time, according to some reports, the Russian Armed Forces had to retreat from these villages. In the village of Giryy, a lone BTR-4E of the AFU (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6354) was noted, moving towards the settlement of Belitsa. How many pieces of equipment the enemy used in the area is still unknown.

Later, there were reports that this same armored personnel carrier was allegedly captured as a trophy (https://t.me/vorposte/59656) in one of the settlements. It is impossible to reliably confirm Original msg (https://t.me/rybar/62692)

MI6 has passed on new intelligence to the OP and the General Staff about the Russian General Staff preparing a plan to encircle the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region. British intelligence believes that Syrsky needs to ensure control over the flanks in the Sumy region in order to hold the only supply road for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.

The General Staff has fallen into a trap that the Russians have failed to resolve in 2022, when any advance into enemy territory stretches supply routes and flanks become easy targets.

Russia is transferring fewer of its forces to the Kursk region than Ukraine would like, The Economist writes.

The transfer is mainly from the Kharkiv region and much less from the Donbas.

“Their commanders are not idiots. They are transferring forces, but not as quickly as we would like. They know that we cannot expand logistics by 80 or 100 km,” a source in the General Staff said.

The offensive itself, according to the publication, had been planned for a long time, but some of its aspects indicate a certain rush in preparation. All three soldiers interviewed who took part in the operation learned about it the day before the assault. They were withdrawn from other directions in the East and were not even given time to rest.

There were frequent cases of friendly fire during the offensive. The fighters marched 10 km a day, replacing the forward units in hastily dug positions ahead of them every night. On the third day, KABs hit them, 12 men from the company were killed on the spot, many were wounded.

A source in the Ukrainian security forces says that by Saturday, some units had advanced 40 km into Russia towards Kursk.

“We sent our most combat-ready units to the weakest point on their border. Conscripts encountered paratroopers and simply surrendered,” says a source in the General Staff.

Our source in the OP said that the technologists of the Presidential Office and the Center for Social and Political Studies are using the panic of Russian war correspondents to their advantage, to shape the Kursk operation into a symbol of the reincarnation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. With a complete lack of success in 2024 and a strategic defeat on the Eastern Front, an attack was organized that has not yet yielded any results, but it was Russian bloggers and war correspondents who corrected the information victory for Ukraine, even larger than the Kursk operation.

ZeRada1

More and more cases of betrayal are emerging, in which Bankova stupidly dumps its soldiers, who are eliminated from the game.

It turns out that they used and threw away, since all military invalids are ballast for the OP, which draws financial costs, and therefore it is necessary to bureaucratically kick them around without giving them social support and money for treatment in the hope that they will die.

We were the first to know about this attitude of the authorities towards their disabled military personnel.

Soon, on the streets of Ukrainian cities there will be hundreds of disabled military beggars, who were abandoned by Zeermak, since they will not even have money to survive.

In the future, they may become one of the “backbones” of the future Maidan against Zelensky.

Zelensky decided to publish a video after the shelling of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant cooling tower in Energodar by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and blame the Russians for it.

Who is this idiocy aimed at?

Locals know that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been ironing out Energodar for about two months now, which is experiencing severe power and water supply shortages.

The forest around there burns every day.

Hence the simple conclusion: the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the Cooling Tower or infrastructure facilities, and Zelensky, in order to shift the focus from his own guilt, blamed the Russians for this.

On July 8, we described why it was advantageous for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to go to Energodar and even then we wrote that the city had been under massive daily artillery and UAV shelling for more than 20 days.

We are against making fun of the NPP case and the “nuclear weapon”. An accident or tragedy could happen, and then the Russians won’t care where to send missiles with nuclear warheads. Residents of Kyiv and Lviv should also understand what could happen to them if idiot Zelensky plays too much.

Details of Nazi attack on Zaporozhye NPP

Today around 21:00, AFU militants hit Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with the help of a kamikaze drone.

According to preliminary data, the drone used by the AFU militants to hit the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant was launched from the town of Nikopol, Dnepropetrovsk region, located on the right bank of the Dnepr River and under the control of the Zelensky regime.

The operator of the UAV saw perfectly well where it was hitting.

It was a purposeful and deliberate strike.

This is yet another example of nuclear terrorism, in which the Zelensky regime has succeeded so well with the approval and assistance of the West.

Kiev, under the leadership of the West, has undermined world energy security and has now embarked on a nuclear terror of the continent,” Zakharova said of the fire at the ZNPP.

Slobozhansky Direction: Situation Update Along the Front Line and the Situation in the Belgorod Region

Situation as of 3:00 PM on August 12, 2024

In addition to unleashing battles on the territory of Kursk Region, the AFU are again trying to break through into the Belgorod Region from the Kolotilovka border crossing.

▪️Several groups of saboteurs numbering at least 30 people, supported by a tank and an APC, engaged in combat with Russian border guards, but were forced to withdraw, suffering significant losses. According to reports from the scene, the border breach was prevented. Russian reserves have been pulled to the area of the clashes and are preparing for another, more serious attack by the AFU.

▪️The border crossing building recently burned down completely as a result of the arrival of a Ukrainian drone. Since 2022, this is where the exchange of prisoners and bodies of the dead took place with the Ukrainian side. The operation of the checkpoint is now suspended indefinitely.

▪️In the Krasnoyaruzhsky District, the evacuation of the population (https://t.me/vvgladkov/9040) has been announced. Checkpoints will be set up at the entrance to the village of Krasnaya Yaryga, where representatives of self-defense, law enforcement agencies, and the administration will be on duty. They are tasked with informing the population about the situation and the location of temporary accommodation points.

▪️The day before, the enemy tried to break through in a similar way to the village of Bezymeno in the Grayvoronovsky District. After losing an APC, the Ukrainian formations retreated.

▪️Fighting continues on other sections of the Slobozhansky Direction front, but the situation in Lukashovka and Sotnitskaya Kazachka has not yet been clarified. According to some reports, the Russian troops have brought in rocket artillery systems to the settlements and have the ability to strike from MLRS at long range, destroying AFU command posts deep in the Kharkiv Region.

▪️In the area of Glubokoe, Zeleny, and Staritsa, the enemy is not conducting offensive operations, but is actively striking Russian Armed Forces positions on the front line with FPV drones and trying to hinder the work of evacuation teams in the rear.

▪️In Volchansk, the Russian troops are holding positions on the territory of the aggregates plant, despite the use of robotic platforms by the AFU for remote detonation of buildings. The Ukrainian command reported that the Russian Armed Forces have redeployed fresh reserves to the city, and in the Tikhiy area, Russian soldiers are fortifying their defensive lines.

Kupiansk-Svatove Direction: Positional Battles in the Serhiivka and Berestove Area

Situation as of 5:00 PM on August 12, 2024

While public attention is focused on the events unfolding in the Kursk direction, other sectors of the front are also not remaining static. In the Kupiansk-Svatove direction, Russian forces are engaged in battles on several lines, seeking to break through to the N-26 highway and cut off one of the key transport arteries of the AFU on the left bank of the Zherebets River.

▪️South of Berestove, Russian Armed Forces units were able to expand their zone of control, dislodging the AFU from several forest belts. The enemy is trying to recapture the lost positions and is using drones to strike Russian troops. Russian UAV operators are responding with attacks on armored vehicles and AFU positions: about a week ago, northeast of Andriivka (https://t.me/tass_agency/264391), a Leopard 1A5 tank provided to the enemy by Western countries was destroyed as a result of a series of drone and artillery strikes.

▪️In late July, the front line west of Raihorodok was clarified. Apparently, during several attacks, the enemy was able to dislodge Russian Armed Forces units from positions on the western outskirts of Serhiivka, as confirmed by objective control footage from the Russian side. Objective data from this line has not been received for a long time, and the forest belt near the village was likely abandoned during the battles (https://t.me/rybar/50077) for Nadiia and Serhiivka last summer. Battles are now underway on the approaches to the latter. It would be erroneous to speak of significant successes by the AFU in this area, as Serhiivka itself consists of several buildings located in an open field.

🔻As of today, no other significant changes in the combat situation have been observed throughout the entire Kupiansk-Svatove direction. Despite statements from individual channels on the Internet about a possible major offensive by the Russian Armed Forces to the west, there are no facts that could confirm this at the moment. Combat operations along the entire length of this section of the front have retained their positional nature, and there are no signs of a change in this situation yet.
