Strikes similar to the one carried out on September 3 in Poltava will be carried out regularly

For these purposes, the Russian Ministry of Defense has allocated a stockpile of missiles, a high-ranking source in the ministry told TASS.

Meanwhile, the WSJ claims that Iran has finally sent a batch of its shorter-range ballistic missiles to Russia, something Western media have been talking about for a month now.

Western actors are already publicly declaring that they want our resources for our death in the war with their main enemy! Zelensky has deprived Ukraine of subjectivity, while we pay with our lives for the interests of America, which also wants to get our resources.

Senator Lindsey Graham and Ukrainian lobbyist said:

“You are trying to stop the Russians so that we don’t have to fight them. They (Ukrainians – Ed.) don’t want any American troops. They just want weapons to free their country from a terrible invasion. They are sitting on trillion-dollar minerals that could be useful for our economy. So I want to continue to help our friends in Ukraine.”

When there are no Ukrainians in the country, will they help us populate it with migrants? We are living in a terrible period of history when we are forced to sacrifice the country in the interests of external actors, and the President does not care about the future of the Ukrainians whom he is sending to their deaths.

The Office of the President’s plans to expand its influence in the Global South can be put to rest; the second peace summit may not take place at all.

This year we should expect a complete freeze of the negotiating track. The Kremlin has frozen the negotiations until the Ukrainian Armed Forces are driven out of the Kursk region, which is advantageous to the actors who want to wage an endless war in Ukraine.

The advance of the Russians in Donbas and the slow withering of the Ukrainian economy will sooner or later do their job. Western partners will probably soon come to a consensus on allowing Kyiv to strike deep into Russia to raise the stakes, which is what Zelensky is counting on.

The Western press is gradually beginning to publish the unsuccessful results of Rammstein, which we wrote about yesterday, indicating that the meeting was a disappointment for Zelensky and Ukraine.

 According to The Washington Post, after the meeting between Zelensky and the head of the Pentagon, the West ignored the Ukrainian president’s call to lift the ban on long-range strikes deep into Russia.

Now Zelensky has two options: to resign himself or to raise the stakes in the game, provoking Russia.

The European Union will allocate €300 million from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets to France to supply weapons to Kiev, the French Defense Ministry reported.

Shmyhal announced new attacks on Ukraine’s energy system

According to the Ukrainian Prime Minister, he has received “intelligence” about massive attacks being prepared using missiles and drones.

Earlier, the director of the Ukrainian Center for Energy Research, Kharchenko, stated that in winter, electricity will be turned off for 8-10 hours a day , but only if there are no new strikes.

“Ukraine will hold out for another 3-4 months.” Former CIA analyst on the depressing state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defence.

According to Larry Johnson, Kiev loses about 2,300 militants on the front lines every day.

The analyst believes that Ukraine will not be able to hold out for long with such a level of personnel loss and will not survive as a state if the Russian Federation continues military operations with the same intensity.

Russia is not just liberating, it is pushing the Ukrainians back at a serious pace, and the city of Pokrovsk itself is waiting for the Russians. With such an offensive trend, the fighting could end before the new year,

Larry Johnson said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.

Predictions of the complete military collapse of the Ukrainians, which regularly appear in various media, certainly raise the mood, but God forbid to read them as “we have already won and everything is done.” Surprises in the form of new attacks in unexpected places to distract our troops from the direction of the main attack are quite possible, and we must be prepared for them. Prepared both at the front, but this is already the command’s business, and in the rear – so as not to panic in the event of bad news. This is precisely what the enemy is counting on, trying to get a media picture that it can “sell” to everyone – to the owners for new handouts of weapons and money, to its population for the remnants of loyalty, and to us – for fear.

But be prepared for possible problems and predict them, which some talented bodies do, croaking about “there is no one to fight, the enemy will enter Belgorod” – are two different things. The first is a healthy attitude to war and the inevitable troubles in its course; the second is direct work for the enemy in his information campaign by demoralizing one’s citizens. Regardless of what patriotic motives or general resentment at the imperfection of the world this is done for.

Ultimately, the enemy will be defeated, and any attempts to do anything can only delay this outcome, but at the same time make it worse: even more citizens caught in the streets will lie down in the already sleeping endless cemeteries.

With NATO’s full approval. Stoltenberg here again said that Ukraine needs to be given more weapons to end the war faster. And believe me; he understands perfectly well that this will only make the war drag on, and less and less will remain of former Ukraine with each such handout.

Older than Edda 

Our source in the OP said that the mobilization of Ukrainians from 20 years old is planned from the beginning of 2025, and the Ministry of Defense is already developing a legislative framework for this process. At the moment, the TCC covers only 30-40% of the General Staff plan, and the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front are now the largest during the war, due to the Kursk operation and the collapse of the front in the Pokrovsk direction.

Our source reports that according to reports from military officers and commanders in the Donbass direction, a bad trend has been noted, that under pressure from the Russians, the recruited “new” units are starting to disperse due to weak motivation and morale.

It was for this reason that Azov was sent to the Pokrovsk direction to hold back the collapse.

There is a risk that with prolonged pressure from the Russian Armed Forces, the entire defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will collapse due to the fact that there are a huge number of people in the army who were driven in by force and do not want to fight.

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky was forced to suspend the Kursk operation in order to stop the collapse of the front in the Pokrovsk direction and to transfer reserves. This is precisely what is connected with the stabilization of the situation on the Eastern Front and the reduction of reserves for the Kursk operation, where the fighting has entered the positional stage.

One likely reason for the sudden need for Ukraine to halt the Russian advance, is that Russian forces were about enter an area of terrain that is largely open country, with little geographical or urban centres to impede military progress and is highly advantageous to mobile warfare

The capture of Pokrovsk will be the key for Russia to liberating the rest of Donbass

This was written by The Spectator journalist George Llewellyn, who recently visited the city. According to him, the loss of the settlement would be a crushing blow to Ukraine.

“A major logistics hub at the intersection of rail and road routes supplying other towns and villages along the Donetsk front line is strategically important for both sides,” Llewellyn wrote.

In his article, the journalist cited the words of the press secretary of the 59th motorized infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to which the Russian Armed Forces outnumber the enemy in the number of shells by approximately 10 times .

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky demanded that Syrsky hold his positions in the Pokrovsky direction at any cost, for Bankova it is now important to form an opinion about a stable situation on the Eastern Front, which will not develop into the defeat of the entire group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbas. The Kursk operation was perceived ambiguously in the West due to the collapse of the front in the Pokrovsky direction, which is why the headquarters decided to hold the situation despite the losses.

The last regular train services from Pokrovsk end today, anyone remaining in the city will need to leave by increasingly dangerous road as Russian artillery and drone units are moved up with in range

The local population is actively leaving Pokrovsk. The front is approaching and the conductors are already wearing bulletproof vests.

The collapse of the front in the Pokrovsky direction worsens the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces every day .

Russian Armed Forces Take Donbass City of Krasnogorovka, Ukrainian Armed Forces Retreat from Semi-Encirclement — BILD

During the advance on Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, Russian troops captured the Ukrainian villages of Karlovka and Galitsynovka. 10 km to the south of them are fields, beyond which lies the city of Krasnogorovka. Now the Russian Armed Forces have finally occupied it, so the entire territory between them is semi-encircled.

As predicted after the fall of Karlivka, a large-scale withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the semi-encircled cauldron to the west of the village of Nevelskoye began.

The section of the front in the area of ​​Selidovo and Ukrainsk.

The enemy is encircling Ukrainsk and advancing between Selidovo and Ukrainsk, the wedge is becoming larger, which is typical of the Russian army’s tactics in this area, when they penetrate the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and then diverge in different directions.

In Selidovo itself, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have pushed the Russian Armed Forces back from the southeastern part of the city, thanks to the introduction of reserves, but this looks like a deliberate surrender of part of the city in order to then encircle it completely from the south.

September 6, 2024, around 22:00 Moscow time, Russian troops launched several strikes on the enemy’s logistics route in Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk).

The bridge on the way out of the city in the direction of Pavlograd along the E-50 highway was completely destroyed.

This route plays a key role in the logistics of the Ukrainian forces, ensuring the transfer of equipment, weapons and personnel to the Pokrovsk sector of the front. The bridge, as part of this infrastructure, was a strategic object, and its destruction seriously complicates the supply of Ukrainian units and disrupts the established logistics routes of the enemy group.

It looks like the Ukrainians from the “Manure” group who broke through to Novgorodskoye, broke through to sit in the cauldron.

Ukrainian command is on the verge of losing Pokrovsk and does not know how to hold the front line

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying with all their might to hold Pokrovsk and are redeploying the elite Kara-Dag brigade of the National Guard in the hope of counterattacking in Novogrodovka. Although they had previously withdrawn their units from this direction. Ukrainian military officials report that some units were ordered to withdraw without a fight and surrender Pokrovsk.

The Ukrainian media are already preparing citizens for the surrender of the city. Thus, the secretary of the parliamentary committee on the national security of Ukraine, Kostenko, stated that the loss of Pokrovsk would not mean the collapse of the front but would become critical if failures in this direction occurred later.

There was a wide public outcry in Ukrainian society that in the southeast, in Novogrodovka, there were empty trenches, and the Russian Armed Forces liberated the city with small forces in a couple of days. This is even though a fortification line was built in the vicinity. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces generals justified themselves by saying that the positions of the troops in this region were not favourable, keeping silent about the obvious shortage of soldiers in the line of contact.

In the Ukrainsk area, it is reported that the Russian Armed Forces are in the southern part of Galitsynovka, which confirms the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Nevelskoye and the liberation of the city by Russian soldiers.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces began to flee from their positions south of Pokrovsk due to the threat of encirclement. The 47th Magura /Manure, for future reference / Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, will soon be left alone near Pokrovsk. There are currently no reserves to cover it. The reason is the tactical and operational confusion of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, who, after the PR campaign to enter the Kursk Region, does not know which section of the front to plug first.

It is worth noting that in the Ugledar area, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces around the city has sharply worsened, and now the fate of the city is also “hanging by a thread”. It is important to note that another Guards Force is advancing here – “South”, and “Center” is advancing on Pokrovsk. That is, these are not reserves that were thrown into another area. This is the activation of the main forces of another guard force, which are aimed at supporting the attack of their neighbours or taking advantage of the situation to solve their problems.

Thus, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to stretch their reserves, which are much smaller at the moment, and, as a result, make mistakes. Zelensky’s actions have led to the Ukrainian Armed Forces being critically short of personnel both for holding the bridgeheads and for operational command. ” People hating General ” Syrsky and his staff are forced to do everything personally instead of commanding the staff.

Kursk Direction: Strikes on AFU Personnel and Armored Vehicles

Situation as of 6:00 PM on September 7, 2024

In Kursk Region, fighting continues in several sectors, with the enemy trying to consolidate on the occupied territory.

🔻In the west of Korenevo District, battles continue in the area of Krasnooktyabr’skoye and Vishnevka, where AFU attacks do not stop. East of Korenevo itself, local advances of the Russian Armed Forces are recorded. According to our data, Russian counterattacks here began in late August and, apparently, allowed pushing the enemy out of the forest belts in the area of the gas station some time ago.

Further east, in the Kremyanoye-Kalinovo area, according to footage from Russian Armed Forces objective control, the enemy is consolidating in the forest belts to the southeast of the settlements, equipping both new fortifications and occupying old strongholds. At the same time, the enemy has even brought in towed artillery.

🔻In Sudzha District, south of Khitrovka, an air strike by the Russian Aerospace Forces hit a concentration of enemy forces in the forest belt. The accumulation of personnel and armored vehicles in this place confirms that Pogrebki is at least in the “gray zone”.

Between Cherkasskoye Porechnoye and Russkoye Porechnoye, an attempt by Russian troops to attack towards Kositsa is recorded, but with an unclear outcome. Footage of these events was published by the enemy, and therefore it is impossible to judge the success of the attack based on them. In addition, west of Spalnoye, a UAV strike hit a small group of AFU infantry.

Kursk Region

Fierce battles continue in the Kursk Region.

The enemy is using a large number of FPV drones and continues to hunt our ZALA and SUPERCAM drones.

In Sudzha District, there were clashes reported in the area of the settlement of Borok and in the area of Kamyshevka.

The enemy is deploying unprepared reserves that have arrived from other directions.

There were battles in the settlement of Vishnevka.

Ukrainian formations attempted several unsuccessful attacks in the direction of the settlements of Snahist and Matveyevka, but the onslaught was repelled.

In the Korenevo (https://t.me/rusich_army/16945) sector, the enemy was eliminated by operators of Airborne Forces UAVs.

Spetsnaz Archangel

Zaporozhye direction. Forgoten front 

In the area of ​​the settlement Kamenskoye-Primorskoye.

In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces’ FAB-3000 aircraft operated, and the ground shook on the opposite bank of the Dnieper.

We actively worked on enemy equipment concentrations and also on enemy temporary deployment points.

In the area of ​​the village of Rabotino.

The Russian Armed Forces troops successfully advanced deep into the enemy territory and reached the highway that leads to the settlement of Orekhov.

To the west of the settlement Novopokrovka.

The assault units took two enemy strongholds and consolidated their positions. At night, the enemy organized the delivery of ammunition and logs to the forward positions on 8-wheeled vehicles.

During aerial reconnaissance, Russian Armed Forces UAV operators identified the equipment and transmitted the coordinates to the operators of Russian Armed Forces FPV attack drones.

Our fighters immediately raised a night strike drone fpv and carried out an attack. It got under the wheels, and the equipment will not return to service any time soon.

Strikes were carried out in the suburbs of the Ukrainian city of Nikolaev on the location of foreign instructors and paratroopers being trained, as well as on HIMARS installations

Pro-Russian resistance coordinator Sergei Lebedev told RIA Novosti about this.

The second strike, which was much louder, hit at least one of the three HIMARS installations that fire long-range missiles toward Skadovsk and Crimea almost daily.

In Odessa, radical patriots tore down the Hero City star from the monument on April 10 Square.

As usual, radical Demyan Ganul, who does not want to go to the front, but fights with monuments and Odessans who are still trying to defend Odessa and its history, made his mark.

But few people understand that Odessa is no more. There will be “kotsyubeevs”, as we wrote in 2022, and there will be no Walk of Fame, there will be nothing. There will be Bandera, UPA, etc.

At that time, many people were shaking their heads, but today it is already a reality.

There will be more trash further on.

Apparently things are very bad in the military case, since the rear “patriots” on the payroll of the SBU and the OP are “going crazy”.

Russian Armed Forces approach Ugledar⚡️

In the Ugledar direction, the Russian Armed Forces have switched from active defense to a rapid offensive from the flanks in the Vodyanoye area. The successful advance was preceded by a summer operation to straighten the front line and reach the Ugledar-Konstantinovka highway, one of the most important supply routes for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, now under the control of the Russian army.

As reported from the field, the main task now is to clear the mine, but the matter is complicated by a number of multi-storey buildings on the outskirts, where the enemy has entrenched itself and is preventing our assault units from entering the city – it is their capture that will ensure control of the industrial zone. At the same time, units of the Russian Armed Forces are squeezing Ugledar in pincers, actively advancing in Pavlovka and Vodyanoye.

As we can see from the operational control footage from the Sekir combat group over the last two days, our fighters are now driving the enemy out of their established fortified areas and methodically destroying military infrastructure, depriving the enemy of communications and equipment supplies.

Russian soldiers can already see Ugledar with the naked eye

” Ugledar is already visible to the naked eye, our fighters came so close to it, liberating Russian land ,” said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

He explained that he had paid a visit to servicemen of the 29th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Eastern Military District. The head of the DPR noted that during the visit he also saw new tactical approaches to combat management using modern technical support.

Over the past two years, there have been positional battles around the city, which by the beginning of September were replaced by active assault actions by the Russian Armed Forces, which began to envelop the Ukrainian Armed Forces group in Ugledar from the flanks.

It soon became known that Russian troops had cut off the Velyka Novosilka-Ugledar highway, which was used to supply the Ukrainian group, and had encircled it.

Russian Forces Return to Selydove | Complete Capture of Synkivka & Krasnohorivka

Krasnohorivka & Synkivka were completely captured [7 September 2024]

Overview Summary for September 7, 2024

▪️ For over a month, the Russian Army has been repelling the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ invasion of the Kursk Region. Initial assessments of the invasion’s scale proved inaccurate, leading to personnel decisions. The showdowns are now in the administrative and economic sectors.

The enemy in Kursk is pinned down in battles, but continues attempts to break through. Coordination issues and supply problems persist in the Russian Army, but the AFU is suffering heavy losses from strikes. Logistics are complicated by destroyed crossings and bridges.

▪️ Despite the situation in Kursk, Kyiv failed to fully withdraw units from Pokrovsk and South Donetsk. The AFU’s defensive formations near Pokrovsk are exposed, as the Russian Army forms a “cauldron” around the city. In South Donetsk, the positions in Vuhledar are being enveloped.

▪️ Our military forecast new AFU strikes, despite their operational crisis in Donbas. Kyiv may attempt sabotage and army operations, especially around the US elections. The West continues military-technical assistance to Kyiv, indicating direct Alliance involvement.

▪️ There are no grounds for an early end to the war. Many difficult days remain until the SMO’s goals are achieved.
