RUSSIA BECOMING WORLD 2ND BIGGEST MILITARY: PUTIN preparing Russia to become a SUPERPOWER

Ukrainian Assassins Targeting Trump?!

“Volodymyr Zelensky has a plan for Ukraine’s victory”: Zelensky came to Biden to report on a new “victory plan”. 

“We will develop a plan and give it to the Russians. At the summit, they will say, ‘We agree with this formula of yours’.” Or, alternatively, “We don’t agree. We think it should be this way and that way.” That’s called dialog. But for that to happen, you have to prepare a plan without the Russians involved, because unfortunately they seem to think they have a sort of red card, like in soccer, that they can delay and block everything. 

   Say next Russia attacked Poland – what then? In Ukraine, Russia found a fake legal basis for its actions, they say it’s protecting Russian-speaking people, but it could have been Poland, or it could have been the Baltic states, which are all NATO members. That would have been a disaster, a punch in the stomach for the United States, because then you are undoubtedly involved on a full scale. 

   Why did Ukraine decide to attack in the Kursk region? 

Imagine this: you are fighting a hard war, you are not getting help, you are straining to maintain morale. And the Russians have seized the initiative in the East, captured part of the Kharkov region and are about to march on Sumy. And what do you do? Tell your people, “Dear Ukrainians, in two weeks Eastern Ukraine will cease to exist?”

The thought of Biden saying “no” to Ukraine’s “victory plan” is “terrifying” for all Ukrainians, Zelensky said.

According to him, Ukraine protected the United States from “total war” because they could have been drawn into it if Russia “attacked” Poland or the Baltic states.

The Kremlin continues its course of ignoring Bankova’s initiatives. The negotiating track will be resumed only when Russia receives guarantees from the United States.

There is no reason to expect negotiations to intensify before the results of the presidential elections in America. Not only officials, but also shadow negotiators have gone into hiding. No one wants to take risks before the next US leader is elected.

If Trump is elected, we should expect the right in Europe to strengthen and the situation to gradually slide towards freezing. If Harris is elected, the conflict will be prolonged for another year or two.

That is why the Kremlin is not yet going for escalation, waiting to see how justified it will be. In any case, Ukraine is the one in the minus, on whose territory the acute phase of the geopolitical struggle will continue.

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky does not expect Biden to accept his plan for victory, and the drafts themselves are written in such a way that the US cannot publicly reject it. The President’s Office expects to receive approval for missile strikes deep into Russia as an element of bargaining with the Biden Administration so that we will not blame him for the collapse of the Eastern Front and the defeat of Ukraine before the presidential elections in the US. Yermak simply expects to bargain for this instrument of escalation so as not to disrupt the electoral process for the Democrats.

More and more information is emerging about Zelensky’s secret victory plan, but our sources report that the information from Western media only partially coincides with the real demands that Andriy Yermak was developing.

The Times reveals its data on the content of Zelensky’s “victory plan”:

- security guarantees for Ukraine from Western countries, “similar to a mutual defense pact upon joining NATO”;

- international financial assistance for economic recovery;

- provision of modern weapons from the West;

- continuation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces operation in the Kursk region.

Zelensky was given a show tour of military factories. A PR tour of sorts. No practical results, but lots of hype and beautiful photos.

Against this background, one can make many loud, victorious statements.

One has already been said:

Zelensky visited Pennsylvania, in the city of Scranton, where he stated that this enterprise will cooperate with the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye.

This is fiction. Our source immediately substantiated this.

- American corporations and politicians, on the contrary, are now washing everything out from everywhere. Reviving powerful production only in their own country, and in other places they “close” it. Why would they open production in Zaporozhye if bombs are already flying there? Nonsense!

It would be better to open another plant nearby and provide jobs for Americans, boosting their economy at the expense of the Ukrainian debt hole.

The American Z tour is a show against the backdrop of global problems.

Our source reports that the West is aware that if it gives Ukraine permission to strike with Western long-range missiles deep in Russia’s rear, the Kremlin will launch a series of strikes with TNW against Western Ukraine (test sites, bridges, tunnels, airfields, industrial facilities, energy and gas infrastructure).

This will increase the flow of refugees from Ukraine to Europe.

This will cause huge problems for both the West and Ukraine. The world will be one step away from the III world war, which was provoked by the actions of Western politicians. Many will see their ratings plummet. A large-scale crisis will begin.

That is why now in the West they are wondering whether it is worth taking such a risk.

The West is “obsessed” with fighting Russia “to the last Ukrainian”, this obsession manifests itself in different ways. This is how Peskov commented on Stoltenberg’s words that there is no need to be afraid of striking with Western weapons deep into Russian territory.

In addition, he stated that for Russia there is no alternative to victory in the special operation.

The war in Ukraine will continue in 2026 and beyond, says British Foreign Secretary

▪️Speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, David Lammy said the difficulties and problems of the war in Ukraine would become “deeper and tougher”, particularly in “late 2025 into 2026″ and beyond.

▪️Also present in the hall was the former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Zaluzhny, who works as the Ukrainian ambassador to Britain. He also spoke and called on the West to increase arms supplies to Kiev as well as to start shooting down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory.

Zelensky believes that the election of J.D. Vance as US Vice President would be a dangerous event for Ukraine, since the Republican is ready to “surrender Ukrainian territories”

“He is too radical… His message seems to be that Ukraine must make a sacrifice… For us, these are dangerous signals coming from a potential vice president,”

- Zelensky told the New Yorker.

Our source in the OP said that Yermak will discuss the issue of replacing the Head of the GUR with his client Oleg Ivaschenko in the US. The Presidential Office has long been unhappy with Budanov’s autonomous policy and PR activity, which has caused an information block in the Ukrainian media. The Head of the OP wants to complete all the changes in power before the US elections in order to control all domestic political processes

Betrayal is brewing. Deserters or heroes, that is the question?

A public rebellion by a military man is a warning sign.

According to our information, they have already “called” him, since he chose the wrong time for blackmail.

His public protest spoils the information background of the American trip to the USA. After all, Zelensky will convince the sponsors that Ukrainians are ready to die, but here it turns out that even the most motivated soldiers are leaving, and not just leaving, but to the SZCh.

We were the first to get inside information about the growth of desertion in the Ukrainian army. We noted the following reasons that were provoked by Zelensky’s strategy:

1. He screwed all the military men who trusted him – he crossed out demobilization.

2. Organized the Zemmobilization, which turned the people into serfs/slaves.

3. Continued his policy: “hype is more important than strategy”, when operations are carried out for the sake of PR and do not take into account the victims and costs.

They also pointed out that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing difficult times due to Zelensky’s incorrectly chosen strategy.

According to our information, Bankova has already given instructions to prevent other public attacks in this case. The office workers are very afraid that the military man will be supported in his fight for demobilization, and many other military personnel will publicly declare about the SZCh.

Zelensky will try to save his own skin. They want to pin everything on Syrsky, Zaluzhny and Umerov. They are supposedly to blame, not Zelensky and his entourage.

We are watching…

Our source in the OP said that Syrsky reported to Zelensky about the critical situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the eastern front. The General Staff is unable to correct the situation and the loss of Ugledar/Kurakhove is a prospect for the next month, and Pokrovsk will hold out until the New Year at best. The Kursk operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was a success and the only possible strike on Rylsk is currently being worked out by the Commander-in-Chief, but the enemy is expecting such a move and is holding reserves there. Syrsky believes that it is necessary to urgently begin mobilization from 20 years and launch missile strikes deep into Russia in order to limit the enemy’s capabilities.

The Kursk offensive has failed to help Ukraine maintain the situation on the eastern front, where Russia is “crushing” the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ugledar could fall “in the coming weeks,” and Pokrovsk – closer to winter, – Financial Times

Ukraine hoped its daring operation would force the Kremlin to redeploy resources from Donetsk, but that did not happen. Instead, Russia’s army took several towns, reaching from Pokrovsk to Myrnohrad and unleashing force on both logistical hubs.

Many commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers see this as a cost of the offensive in the Kursk region.

➖”Kursk was a good idea, it showed Russia as weaker than many thought. But we are paying for it [with a lot of our own land],” said a ground forces commander.

The Russian army has learned from previous mistakes. They have avoided large-scale attacks with tanks and armoured vehicles, the Ukrainian Armed Forces say. “Their new tactics have led to recent successes in the Donetsk region,” the FT writes. Small groups of Russians are difficult to hit not only with shells, but also with drones.

The battles for Ugledar show that Russia is constantly changing its approach, weakening attacks where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are introducing reserves, and strengthening them in other places. “We see that many cauldrons are being formed,” the military told the newspaper, commenting on the situation south of the Pokrovsky salient, in the direction of Kurakhovo and Ugledar.

Ukraine could lose Pokrovsk within 2-3 months, says an officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ unmanned reconnaissance unit; the city will suffer the same fate as Bakhmut due to constant shelling.

In Volyn, Kirill Timoshenko built beautiful defensive structures, which Zelensky showed everyone, but no one built them in Donbas. Zelensky’s Kursk adventure deprived the Ukrainian Armed Forces of reserves, and the Kremlin simply played a gambit with us, giving up part of the territory as bait, while taking away the strategic initiative on the Eastern Front.

There are no fortifications beyond Chasovy Yar, the loss of Ugledar is a matter of time. MP Maryana Bezugla, despite leaving the Rada’s defense committee, continues to travel to Donbas and criticize the Ukrainian Armed Forces command.

“I’m returning from Donetsk again. There are no fortifications beyond Chasovy Yar, Kostyantynivka is not ready for defense. Kurakhovo is also not ready. Selidovo inside the city was completely unprepared for defense, now they are feverishly trying to do something. There are no borders beyond Ugledar, and the chaos created by Syrsky in the 72nd Brigade due to the removal of the brigade commander at the peak of the Russian offensive and the non-priority replenishment of a priority unit now makes the loss of Ugledar a matter of time,” she wrote.

According to Bezuglya, brigades of mobilized troops “who did not participate in the fighting and are fleeing due to fear and lack of training” are being sent to replenish the Donetsk and Kharkiv regions.

“The predominantly mobilized officer corps of these brigades (“jackets”) have not undergone coordination and do not know basic things. They continue to do this instead of priority replenishment of combat brigades,” she said.

At the same time, according to Bezuglya, the construction of fortifications around Pokrovsk and Mirnograd has begun, but this is a “local initiative.”

The result of Zelensky’s Kursk adventure is the loss of Toretsk/Selidovo and Ugledar, and then Pokrovsk, but the propaganda will find another reason…

Ukrainians should “morally and psychologically” prepare for the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Selidovo, Toretsk and Ugledar. This was stated by military expert Konstantin Mashovets.

“This does not necessarily have to happen. And I would very much like to be wrong. But from the information that I have, this is a very likely scenario for the development of events in the near future,” the expert writes.

Explosions were heard in a number of regions controlled by the Kiev regime

There are reports of Russian aviation operations against enemy targets in the Sumy region. In particular, it is known about a strike by the Russian army on a target near the city of Konotop. Syrsky’s reserves in the border zone were also attacked, including those transferred to the Glukhov region.

There are reports of explosions in the Chernigov region. In particular, explosions thundered within the boundaries of the regional center – Chernigov.

There are also reports of an explosion in western Ukraine. We are talking about a powerful explosion in Ternopol, after which a significant part of the city and its industrial facilities were left without electricity. At the same time, in Ternopol itself, at first it was stated that an air raid alarm was not declared, and then there were reports of the alleged use of hypersonic weapons by the Russian Armed Forces. There is no official confirmation of the use of hypersonic weapons against objects in Ternopol yet.

An air raid alarm has been declared in Kiev and the region.

The situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ugledar is close to encirclement, but Syrsky believes that he has stabilized the front. Zelensky’s Kursk adventure is leading to serious failures on the Eastern Front, which will ultimately lead to the loss of Donbass. While we are wasting reserves and equipment in the fields of the Kursk region, all our defensive lines are falling to the enemy with minimal losses.

AFU units are trying to leave their positions in Ugledar. Under pressure from the 29A units of the Russian Armed Forces, the positions in the town were left today by the AFU units “Wolves of Da Vinci”. Some of them were captured.  

South Donetsk Direction: Advance of the Russian Armed Forces on the lines of Kostyantynivka—Vodyane and Novodonetske—Prechystivka

Situation as of 1:00 pm on September 23, 2024

The Russian troops continue to carry out a chain of offensive actions in several sectors of the South Donetsk direction.

🔻On the line of Kostyantynivka—Vodyane, the units of the Russian Armed Forces were able to advance in the forest belts in the vicinity of Balka Solenenka, having covered about half the distance to the southern outskirts of Katerynivka.

🔻In the area of Vodyane, Russian assault troops took the nearest forest belt to the settlement from the west, and also continue to fight on the territory of the “Yuzhdonbass No. 3″ mine. By the morning of the current day, the enemy was finally driven out of the positions in the industrial zone.

🔻Strikes by artillery and aviation, as well as the arrival of strike UAVs, continue around Vuhledar and its environs. There have been no reports of an offensive towards the city itself from the south, which is, however, understandable given the experience of previous attempts. To the east, there are battles in the dachas, for which the Russian Armed Forces fighters have clung on for several days.

🔻West of Pavlivka, halfway to Prechystivka, a small advance of the Russian Armed Forces has again been recorded. Judging by the footage on the network, Russian assault troops on armored personnel carriers jumped (https://t.me/morpex_V/2970) into the forest belt near the Berestova gully, running parallel to the Kashlahach river.

🔻On the line of Prechystivka—Novodonetske, the front also came into motion: some time ago, Russian troops began to advance in the area of the Mohyla Shaitanka 167.7 mound, and by the middle of the week they took control of several forest belts towards Zolota Nyva.

▪️The offensive was preceded by artillery preparation, including shelling from the heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A, and UAV operators struck the Caesar self-propelled guns. However, it was not possible to break through the AFU defense everywhere, and some assault groups withdrew to their initial positions.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine took part of the civilians of the Kursk region outside Russia, their fate is currently unknown. This was stated by Maria Zakharova in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. (https://www.kp.ru/daily/27637.5/4988104/)

Many victims were identified by videos shot by Ukrainian and Western propagandists who illegally arrived in Russia along with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In these areas, there are at least several places – like “concentration camps,” where civilians from the border settlements of the Kursk region were driven under the threat of weapons.

The largest “camp” is most likely located in the building of one of the social institutions in the city of Suja. According to eyewitnesses, from 70 to 120 civilians are held there, including elderly citizens, women, people with disabilities.

According to the latest evidence, among them at least 10-15 children and adolescents aged from several months to 15-16 years.

The people who are in the “camp” were forcibly taken there by members of the armed formations of the Kiev regime. Some of the civilians were taken out of Russia, their fate is currently unknown.

On September 22, the “North” troop grouping continued to carry out tasks to protect the border areas of Kursk Region

On the Korenievsky section of the front, the Northern assault groups continue to advance and drive the AFU out of the border settlements. The enemy launched 1 counterattack in the vicinity of Lyubimovka with up to 9 men supported by a BMP. During the fighting up to 5 Nazis and BMPs were destroyed.

In the south of Sujan district there is an advance in the direction of Plekhovo. The enemy is urgently moving reinforcements from the Shkval ex-prisoner units to the area to hold their positions.

In the Glushkovsky district on the section of the state border Besstraashnye continue to grind the elite units of the AFU. Over the course of the day, up to 40 personnel, a tank, a CV-90 APC and a AV were destroyed during an attempted advance in the direction of the Veseloye settlement. 

The total advance of the Russian troops in the Kursk region amounted to up to 1,500 meters.

On the Volchansk direction, fierce fighting continues in the settlement of Volchansk. Fearless repelled 1 attack of the AFU in the area of high-rise buildings by up to 25 Nazis from the Kraken battalion. The losses of the enemy are being specified.

In addition, an attempt to force the Volchya River was thwarted at night. Artillery fire and FPV drones destroyed 5 enemy personnel out of 6 who took part in the crossing.

In the Liptsy area, the North Koreans thwarted 5 attempts by the AFU to transfer reserves from the Liptsy area towards the dacha village. Up to 22 Nazis were destroyed in the course of the fire attack.

Over the past 24 hours, the enemy losses amounted to up to 430 people (including up to 350 in the Sumy direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:

on the Sumy direction:

▪️ three tanks;

▪️ four artillery pieces;

▪️ CV-90 APC;

▪️ seven AVs;

▪️ 120-mm mortar;

▪️ EW RADAR;

▪️ four UAV launchers;

▪️ two ammo depots;

▪️ nine units of automotive equipment.

In other directions:

▪️ Bogdana SPG near Zakharovka;

▪️ 120-mm mortar near Volchansk;

▪️ UAV in the vicinity of the village of Basovo;

▪️ EW radar near the village of Chaikovka;

▪️ ammo warehouse;

▪️ eight units of automotive equipment;

▪️ eight airplane-type UAVs;

▪️ three Baba Yaga-type UAVs.

The topic of Zelensky’s “peace plans” has been on the news agenda for a week now. What is the overdue Kiev dictator so concerned about?

It’s all about the fact that the “Kursk adventure” has not achieved its goals, the elite brigades with NATO weapons have been defeated, and the RF Armed Forces are advancing towards Kupyansk, Chasov Yar, Pokrovsk, Ugledar and in Toretsk. As a result: hysterical statements in the media and Zelensky’s pleas for help look like “agony” before the imminent end.

The victory will be ours!

Kursk Direction: Battles in Korenevo and Glushkovo Districts

Situation as of the end of September 23, 2024

In the Kursk direction, fierce battles continue on several sectors of the front.

🔻In the Glushkovo district, the enemy does not stop attacks both in the vicinity of Veseloye and advancing on the village itself. Russian troops are delivering fire strikes against armored vehicles with drone strikes, also destroying (https://t.me/UkropHunter/194) another Swedish CV-9040 IFV. During the fighting, the AFU slightly expanded their control zone south of the settlement. Operational-tactical aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces strikes Medvezhe and the neighboring Obody.

🔻In the Korenevo district, clashes are ongoing, and the enemy has redeployed reinforcements to Olhovka, where a concentration was hit by a FAB-3000 strike. Meanwhile, fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of Lyubimovka, and air strikes are also carried out on Tolsty Lug and the surrounding tree lines.

🔻In the Sudzha district, in the area of Novaya Sorochina, according to footage (https://t.me/dva_majors/53325) of objective control, an attempt by the AFU to advance towards Kamyshevka is recorded. At the same time, extremely contradictory information is coming in about Malaya Loknya – allegedly, units of the Russian Armed Forces are still present in the settlement.

On the line Martynivka – Kruhlyk, it was possible to clarify the AFU control zone. The enemy occupied at least part of the forest in the gullies near the Smerdytsia river north of Martynivka. No information was received about changes in control zones or attacks on other areas.

“There are no fortifications behind Chasov Yar, Konstantinovka is not ready for defense. Kurakhovo is not ready for defense either. Selidovo inside the city was completely unprepared for defense, now they are feverishly trying to do something.” – Member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Maryana Bezuglaya.

A number of Ukrainian sources are gradually beginning to howl at the danger of a strike by the Russian Armed Forces from the east.

Especially those who have been telling since 22 years about the mighty lines of defense built somewhere to keep out, or at least slow down the hordes of Russian troops, are especially nervous. They are worried, it must be said, for a reason. 

First of all, all the main defense nodes here are deployed… to the south. In other words, the strike was expected to come from where they planned to go during last year’s offensive. Secondly, if at least part of the Russian army’s strike is carried out in the way the red arrows on the map show, it will be possible to roll up the entire section of the front from the southern Donetsk direction and almost to the Dnepr.  

Military Chronicle

In the Kupyansk direction, the dynamics of the advance of Russian forces are developing that are dangerous for the Ukrainian army.

Here, the Russian Armed Forces are expanding their control, breaking through to Kupyansk. The Russian army has pushed back the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense in several areas in this direction. The Russian army has made a particularly big breakthrough in the Peschanoye area.

Here a wedge appeared with the help of which Russian troops can cut off the Kupyansk-Borovaya road. Advancing to the junction of the river and the non-existent reservoir. Of course, this really creates a threat to the Ukrainian group in terms of supplies, which can force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat behind the Oskol River. But there is also a danger of a flank attack by Ukrainian units on the advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces, which with such a maneuver created a fire pocket for themselves due to the slowly moving flanks. The Ukrainian forces probably could not do this due to the lack of reserves necessary for the maneuver.

Kupiansk-Svatove Direction: Breakthrough

Situation as of 5:00 PM on September 23, 2024

On the Kupiansk-Svatove direction, the Russian forces continue to develop their offensive from the previously captured Pishchane, attacking in several directions at once.

▪️Northwest of the village, the Russian Armed Forces are consolidating on new positions in the forest belts, from where the outskirts of Novoosynove are about six kilometers away. Southwest, significant advancement of Russian troops is recorded in the area of Pishchane.

According to footage from objective control, Russian troops are fighting on the territory of one of the major strongholds, from where the northern outskirts of Kruhlakivka are less than 2.5 kilometers away.

▪️At the same time, there is no information about the withdrawal of Ukrainian formations from the Volchyi forest and the nearby gullies, nor about the retreat of the AFU from the “pocket” near Berestove. Given the terrain configuration, the remaining sporadic presence of enemy forces in this area is quite possible.

▪️To the north, the Russian Armed Forces have established full control over Kyslivka, repelling several attacks towards the neighboring Kotliarivka. They have also improved their tactical position in the forests near Synkivka, and the VKS aviation continues to systematically strike the AFU’s pontoon crossings (https://t.me/The_Wrong_Side/18444) on the Oskil River in the area of Kupiansk-Uzlovyi.

❗️If the current pace of the offensive towards the section of the O-211942 highway on the line of Novoosynove – Hlushkovo – Kolesnikivka – Kruhlakivka is maintained, the Russian Armed Forces can be expected to reach the water obstacle in the near future, with further bisection of the Ukrainian grouping on the left bank of the Oskil River.

Vuhledar is close to be encircled | Rapid advances in the front [23 September 2024]

ITS NOT TOO LATE TO REPENT…. | Ukraine War SITREP (Situation Report) / Summary

Morning Summary on September 23, 2024

▪️ In the Kursk Region, the AFU continue attempts to break through in the Glushkovo direction, committing more NATO equipment. Thus, another “Leopard” tank was destroyed near the settlement of Vesele. In the Zeleny Shlyakh – Lyubymivka direction, the AFU made an unsuccessful counterattack attempt, although they were previously in a stubborn defense here, containing our onslaught from the west. Battles are ongoing in the area of the border settlements of Nikolayevo-Daryino and Daryino, which, in addition to reducing the AFU’s control zone, will open the approaches to Sverdlykovo, which the enemy has turned into a logistics hub in our region.

▪️ In the Kupiansk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are expanding the breakthrough zone from Pishchane towards Kruhliakivka (3 km left to the line of contact). In the Krasnolyman direction, our troops, having broken into Nevske (south of Makiivka, LPR), formed a salient up to 5 km deep.

▪️ In the Toretsk (Dzerzhynsk) direction, the Russian Army, with a rapid airborne assault, broke into Leonidivka (https://t.me/zovpobedy/13182), and despite the damaged equipment, the infantry managed to consolidate. The offensive in Toretsk continues, the control zone around the settlement of Druzhba is expanding.

▪️ In the Pokrovsk direction, Krutyi Yar (the road to Myrnograd) has been liberated. The Washington Post cites the words of the commander of the 68th AFU Tank Brigade: “Although Pokrovsk remains under Ukrainian control, it can already be called a lost logistics hub.”

▪️ In the Kurakhovka direction, the liberation of the settlement of Ostrove was important.

▪️ In the Vuhledar direction, the effective encirclement of the city by the Russian Army is a source of concern for the enemy’s resources. Reports indicate that Russian units are approaching the urban area from the east. Our troops are consolidating in the forest belts north of the Kashlahach River from Prechystivka to Vuhledar, with a front up to 6 km and a depth of up to 3 km. In addition, the territory of an enterprise in the northern part of Pavlivka north of the Kashlahach River has been captured, there is progress in the eastern dachas and south. The section from the “Yuzhdonbass No. 3″ mine to the “Yuzhdonbass No. 1″ mine, up to 3.43 km wide, has been seized. Thus, the AFU have only a corridor up to 7 km wide with a single road to Bohoyavlenka left for withdrawal, which our troops are pushing towards from the east (4.5 km left).

▪️ Overnight in the Rostov Region, air defense units engaged aerial targets near Kamensk-Shakhtinsky around midnight.

▪️ In the Belgorod Region, the city of Gubkin was attacked by the AFU using a drone. In the village of Murom, a man and a woman were injured as a result of a drone attack. Shebekino was shelled. The village of Cheremoshnoye in the Belgorod District came under AFU fire, 10 civilians were injured. In the Belgorod District, on the section of the Chaiki – Krasny Oktyabr highway, a drone attacked a moving vehicle, injuring the driver.

▪️ In the DPR, in Horlivka, a civilian was killed and five were injured by AFU artillery fire. In an attack by a kamikaze drone on a vehicle, a man born in 1962 was injured. When a explosive device was dropped from an AFU drone, a locomotive driver was injured. In the settlement of Nabere
