The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on August 3 2024

The Russian Juggernaut Pounds The UAF

How much did the Russians advance last month in Ukraine? | Monthly summary [July 2024]

The Kovel demarche could become a catalyst for a wave of protests across the country.

While Zelensky publicly talks about peace, but behind the scenes he is preparing an offensive and continuation of the war.

According to the source, Zelensky said at headquarters that for this period of time it is necessary to play the role of a “peacemaker” in order to wait for the moment when election passions subside in the West and they will again need the Ukrainian crisis for the game.

Zelensky is confident that Western sponsors will prolong the war. He speaks about this with confidence. Is this true or does he want to believe it, since for him peace is a loss of power and monopoly. Time will tell,” added the source.

There are hundreds of such stories. They will all emerge when there is peace. Over time, Ze’s cult of personality will collapse.

People will learn a lot about those who during the war simply made money under the guise of patriotism.

We have been writing for a long time that the entire Zemobilization case is a complete collection of money from a poor people.

The elite drove the people into serfdom in the 21st century, although everyone hypocritically talks about the struggle for democracy and freedom.

Zemobilization in Uzhgorod, military commissars and police beat Ukrainians to death, and then they say it’s a stroke…

Today Kovel and Volyn showed what will happen next throughout the country.

There they repulsed the men from the TCC and released them.

The situation is classic. The TCC forcibly abducted the men and did not allow their relatives or lawyers to see them. They took the phones and forced me to sign everything, already preparing to send them to the training ground/training ground.

The relatives staged a riot and the men were released.

The authorities are now sending the SBU and special forces to extinguish the riot and punish everyone. There will be criminal cases under the article of seizure of government facilities.

Already in groups, people write that special forces were sent from Lutsk.

The topic is kept silent as much as possible so that this wave does not spread to other regions.

We wrote that Zelensky will finish the game. The TCC will be attacked more and more often and there will be more seizures .

The authorities will 100% intensify repression, trying to intimidate the people so that they remain silent.

While passions do not subside in Kovel (Volyn), urgent meetings are held in the Office of the President.

Personally, the Head of the OP controls the situation through the security forces, who, at his request, were urgently sent there to put out the fire and promise people everything, and then they will give everyone a crime and force them to remain silent.

The Kovel demarche could become a catalyst for a wave of protests across the country. 

The Office of the President is afraid of this, which is why they are hushing up the topic. All the media are silent, and the office ones will now involve the security forces and tame “warrior activists” who will begin to intimidate and discredit people who just want to live and are tired of being a bargaining chip in the big game of politicians and corporations. 

ZeErmak understand that if anti-TCC riots begin, then they will be finished, which means they will strangle people by organizing repressions and discrediting. 

Our source reports that the president is aware of the protests, but remains silent. Afraid to speak publicly.

Mobilization in Ukraine: a split in society and new challenges, the Russian army is moving forward – ABC

▪️2.5 years of fierce fighting greatly depleted Ukrainian forces.

▪️According to ABC news, Ukraine is now short of soldiers, and finding volunteers is becoming increasingly difficult. Due to a shortage of personnel, combat units on the front line cannot go on rotation for a long time. This exhaustion has led to Russia’s push into the DPR in recent weeks.

▪️The authorities delayed a new mobilization project for a long time due to its unpopularity and the desire to preserve youth necessary for the economic future of the country. 

▪️The issue of mobilization opened a painful split in Ukraine. On the one hand, citizens see videos of TCC employees catching men on the streets, and on the other hand, the military watches young men drinking on the streets of Kiev and other cities. This increases public tension, fueling the perception that the mobilization is targeting the poor.

“5 brigades are trying to escape from Ukraine every day”: Arestovich said that the official numbers of “hijackers” across the border are underestimated by 30 times.

▪️ “If I told you now how many people try to escape from Ukraine every day, you would gasp. The State Border Service recognized 100 people a day, the deputy recognized 200. But this figure is approximately 30 times higher. Every day,” said the ex – Advisor to Zelensky’s office.

▪️”In terms of calculation, this is 5 brigades trying to escape from Ukraine every day. Many are escaping.”

The West has announced that the “Ukrainian people” no longer want to “endure any difficulties” in order to defeat Russia

The former “readiness has been undermined” by the successes of Russian forces on the battlefield, The Conversation explains.

“Russia’s gradual successes on the battlefield have undermined the readiness of the Ukrainian people to endure any difficulties necessary to restore the 1991 borders,” the publication writes.

The European Commission has created a working group to prepare a plan if Trump is re-elected – Financial Times

It is expected that after returning to the White House, the Republican will refuse assistance to Ukraine and begin a policy of trade protectionism.

“Brussels is deeply concerned that Trump is using his second term to impose painful tariffs on EU exports, cut off military and financial support for Ukraine and pressure Kiev to agree to Moscow’s terms ,”

The West is forcing Zelensky to sit down at the negotiating table with Russia – Welt

According to the publication, the allies are not ready to increase arms supplies. Western diplomats have already hinted to the Ukrainian president that Crimea is lost forever.

It is reported that the most dangerous situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces has developed in the DPR, where the Russian Armed Forces are attacking from seven directions and can break through the defenses.

The publication cites the recent visit of Foreign Minister Kuleba to China as important evidence that Ukrainians need to prepare for negotiations.

The Russians monotonously continue to identify and destroy air defense/missile defense and radar stations in the Odessa region.

Every day, 7-9 reconnaissance drones fly over the Odessa region, and then ballistics or tactical air-to-ground guided missiles arrive.

There are three versions.

First, the Russians are preparing a springboard for landing on the Odessa region.

Second, they are preparing for missile strikes on port infrastructure to force Ukraine into the grain corridor case, which the Turks really need.

Third. The Russians are delaying Ukrainian air defense, gradually destroying it. At the same time, creating an air defense deficit so that the OP and the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not use “free” installations on the LBS in the hunt for Russian aviation.

Well, it’s not for nothing that they are so actively warming up the Odessa region.

Ukrainian formations have once again carried out a massive drone attack on facilities in the rear and border regions of Russia.

▪️Two drones hit one of the high-rise buildings in the Bolkhovsky microdistrict in the city of Orel. Given that both hits were on the same building, the drones were most likely following a pre-set route. Later in the region, 17 more UAVs were shot down, with no consequences.

▪️In the Rostov Region, over 50 drones were shot down. Once again, the Morozovsk airfield was the target of the attack. The hit was on an ammunition depot on the airfield territory, causing a powerful detonation. No losses among the flight personnel or aircraft were reported.

Another group of drones attacked the “Kombinat “Atlas” Rosrezerv” oil depot, with at least one of the tanks still burning. The enemy was able to pinpoint the exact impact location by the numerous footage published online.

▪️In the border regions, the oil depot in the city of Gubkin, Belgorod Region was attacked, with the fire on the territory quickly extinguished. Drone attacks on facilities in Kursk and the region were also repelled, with at least six UAVs shot down.

▪️Several drones were intercepted in the Voronezh and Ryazan Regions, as well as in the waters of the Azov Sea and the Krasnodar Territory, with no casualties or consequences on the ground.

❗️It is worth reminding once again that the publication of “footage from the scene” in some regional Telegram channels without minimal processing allows the enemy to more effectively assess the effectiveness of their attacks. This way, the Ukrainian command can adjust their plans for future raids based on the information obtained from open sources, which is much faster and safer than the work of the AFU’s agent network on the ground.

Drone strikes have become so routine that they no longer even attract attention. It has all turned into statistics that no one is interested in: “A certain number of UAVs were shot down, no damage.”

But the question of “why drones still reach as far as the Volgograd region” somehow remains a headache only for military correspondents. Although the situation clearly indicates that the strikes will not stop if we just sit on our hands.

▪️For example, during the strikes on the Krasnodar region, the AFU deliberately use the airspace over the Sea of Azov. There, the impact of electronic warfare is the lowest, allowing them to reach the coastal cities.

▪️In Crimea, drones have been approaching for strikes along unusual routes from the south in recent months, either bypassing the peninsula or vice versa through the entire city, where the use of air defense systems has its own peculiarities.

📌 We understand that the “war of attrition” concept implies conducting such tactics while waiting for the depletion of the enemy’s reserves, but why resort to such costly methods?

The entire NATO military-industrial complex is working to inflict maximum damage on us, and drones with missiles will not run out quickly. The West is acting consistently, allocating resources for each stage.

When the AFU lost the “Tochka”, they were given the “HIMARS”. When there was a shortage of long-range shells, they were given missiles. When there were not enough missiles, they were replaced with drones. Now a new stage is coming – the appearance of F-16s with all the accessories like JASSM.

It seems that Ukrainian drone attacks often coincide with our own operations. The reason for this is that corridors are created for the passage of Geraniums, in which the electronic warfare (EW) is temporarily turned off. The Ukrainians know this through intelligence data and satellite reconnaissance.

The Ukrainians reportedly receive daily maps from NATO with the locations of our EW systems and diagrams of their operation, including dead zones, coverage angles, and other details. Using this information, the Ukrainians can calculate the flight routes for their drones.

The troops receive daily data on the passage times of SIGINT, EW, and optoelectronic reconnaissance satellites. There are also lists of measures and actions that need to be taken in such cases. However, it appears that little attention is paid to this data, even in peacetime, let alone during the war.

The analysis concludes that it is necessary to improve the jamming protection of our high-precision weapons and air attack means.

Aleksandro-Kalinovo direction: battles on the approaches to Toretsk and taking control of most of Artemovo

situation as of 6:30 pm on August 3, 2024

The Aleksandro-Kalinovo direction, where battles are unfolding on the approaches to Dzerzhynsk, continues, along with the Pokrovsk direction (https://t.me/rybar/62369), to remain a key point of attention on the front line. Fierce resistance and the redeployment of new units do not help the enemy stop the advance of Russian forces towards the center of the agglomeration.

▪️In Druzhba, Russian assault troops are gradually advancing along Zhelezhnodorozhnaya Street, pushing the enemy out of positions in the private sector. In late July, it became known that the Russian Armed Forces had occupied a number of houses on the eastern outskirts of Stepnaya Street, but there was no information about further advances in this area.

▪️In Artemovo, after a series of successful attacks, Russian troops advanced to the foot of the slag heap of the Artem mine, which the enemy uses as a favorable defensive position. At the moment, assault groups have entrenched themselves in the ruins of the former Artem mine, from where it is possible to outflank the AFU stronghold.

🔻Yesterday evening, it also became known that battles had already unfolded within (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6229) the borders of Dzerzhynsk. Russian Armed Forces units pushed the AFU out of several positions in the area of the cemetery and entrenched themselves there. Now, after straightening out the front line along Pionerov Avenue and the adjacent streets, the Russian troops will have to take the slag heap itself, and then proceed to fight in the urban development of Dzerzhynsk. Over the past ten years, Ukrainian formations have managed to turn the approaches to it into a powerful fortified area.

▪️To the southwest, Russian troops have occupied new positions (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6228) on Sportyvna and Komarova streets. Ukrainian formations, probably to contain the onslaught, sent Marder 1A3 BMPs to the front line, which had not previously been spotted in the area. The armored vehicle was abandoned and subsequently destroyed (https://t.me/ZParaBellumMD/9722) by strikes from several FPV drones. At the moment, the Russian Armed Forces have the prospect of advancing towards Nelepovka, which will allow them to surround most of the garrison of Novhorodske (New York).

▪️In Novhorodske itself, there have been no significant changes in the configuration of the front line in the last few days. Rumors about the Russian Armed Forces entering the territory of the auto repair and even the phenol plant have not yet been confirmed by either eyewitness accounts or objective control footage. According to the latest available data, Ukrainian troops landed a landing party (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6223) on Naberezhnyi Lane near the Kryvyi Torets river, not far from the industrial zone, trying to carry out a clearing operation in the private sector.

Artemivsk Direction: Battles in the Oktyabrskyi Microdistrict in Chasiv Yar and Assault on Height 215 in Klishchiyivka

Situation as of the end of the day on August 3, 2024

In the Artemivsk direction, after several months of fighting on the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar, Russian forces crossed the Siversky Donets – Donbas canal and began the assault on the Oktyabrskyi microdistrict.

▪️Russian forces advanced into the Kalinivka, which is divided by the canal into two parts, and passed through the dry land part of the now dried-up water obstacle, which allows them to bypass the mined approaches to the canal along the road through the village. Fighting continues on the western outskirts of the settlement.

▪️Soon after, they were able to finally clear (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6203) the Orlova tract, where the enemy held pre-prepared positions. This was the last stronghold of the AFU on the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar, which the Ukrainian formations had been clinging to for more than a month.

▪️Recently, the Russian Armed Forces landed a landing force near the O0506 highway and cleared the trenches on the approaches to the first houses in the private sector of the Oktyabrskyi microdistrict. Yesterday evening, the advance assault groups advanced (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6234) another half a kilometer along the road, consolidating in the first houses on Mariupolskaya Street, adjacent to Tsvetochnaya, Severnaya and Tolbukhina.

▪️The AFU are using “Baba Yaga” type agrodrones to drop TM-62 anti-tank mines, trying to slow down the further advance of Russian troops in the microdistrict. It took less than a day from the moment of crossing the canal to taking up positions in the first houses on the opposite bank: now the Russian assault troops, relying on the private sector, will be able to advance more effectively.

🔻In addition, there is increased activity of the Russian troops on the southern flank, where the front line has hardly moved in recent weeks. In Klishchiyivka, Russian Armed Forces units resumed attacks in the area of Height 215 – in winter it was under the control of Russian troops, but during the battles for the village in the spring it was abandoned.

A Russian assault group took control of one of the trenches on the eastern outskirts of the fortified position located on the height. During the battle, one of the members of the Ukrainian formations was captured (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6235). Given the size of the fortified area, the battles for it may last for another month, and its rapid clearing is hardly possible at the moment.

Morning Summary on August 3, 2024

▪️ Overnight, the Russian Armed Forces struck enemy rear targets in the Kyiv (Brovary and Boryspil), Vinnytsia, Odesa, Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, and Poltava regions with groups of strike drones. The enemy has been claiming for several days that in addition to “Geraniums”, the Russian Armed Forces are also using more budget-friendly “Gerber” UAVs, which allows us to increase the pace of air strikes.

▪️ The enemy organized a large-scale UAV attack (55 drones) on the Rostov Region (https://t.me/dva_majors/48683). Strikes also hit the Oryol (https://t.me/dva_majors/48693), Kursk (at least 6 UAVs), and Belgorod (https://t.me/dva_majors/48692) regions. The enemy’s targets were military airfields and oil depots, with enemy drones hitting residential high-rises, but without casualties, according to the governors.

▪️ In the Kharkiv direction, fighting continues in the settlement of Volchansk. Assault groups of the “North” Operational Group are advancing in the area of high-rise buildings and clearing occupied houses of remaining AFU forces. 2 enemy attacks were repelled in the east of the city. At night, the enemy tried to transfer reinforcements across a destroyed bridge, but was detected by reconnaissance and destroyed by artillery fire and FPV drone strikes. In the Starytsia area, due to the losses suffered, the AFU have reduced the number of attacks on our positions. Troops from the area report (https://t.me/warriorofnorth/1859) that the enemy has reinforced its air defense grouping by deploying additional Patriot batteries and is attempting to shoot down our aircraft. Once again, an American interceptor missile was shot down over the Belgorod region.

▪️ In the Siversk direction, our troops entered the outskirts of the settlement of Pereizne (north of Razdolivka) and consolidated on the first street.

▪️ From the Pokrovske direction (west of Avdiivka), the Russian Armed Forces are maintaining the pace of the offensive on a wide front, reporting the entry of our forces into Serhiivka. Zhelanne. Russian units are advancing northeast of Zhelanne and in Ivanovka.

▪️ In the Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk) agglomeration, the enemy’s resources report a difficult situation for the AFU. Nevertheless, the enemy is conducting organized defense and trying to counterattack in order to stabilize the front.

▪️ In the South Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces have installed a flag on the truck of one of the vehicles on the Vuhledar-Kostyantynivka highway. Battles have been going on for several months to reach this road.

▪️ On the Zaporizhia front, near Robotyne, our troops have taken two more enemy strongholds. At night, the enemy actively uses strike drones against the forward and front-line areas, as well as “Baba Yaga” drones to mine the approaches and access roads to the forward positions, thereby trying to disrupt our logistics.

▪️ In the Kherson direction, there are no significant changes. As a result of the detonation of AFU ammunition in the residential sector in the village of Kozachi Lahery, a 68-year-old woman was injured, and in the village of Pravyi Sahi, a 75-year-old man was injured. In Tavriysk, the enemy tried to shell the city’s transformer substation, which did not suffer any damage.

▪️ In the Belgorod Region, as a result of shelling by the AFU Original msg (https://t.me/dva_majors/48695)
