Russia Biggest Assault of the War on Ukraine w/Andrei Martyanov

Our source in the OP said that Zelensky was dissatisfied with the results of Andriy Yermak’s trip to the US, Bankova was counting on applause, not criticism of the special operation “web”. The president is determined to continue the tactics of escalating the conflict with the Kremlin, despite the possible consequences and the disruption of Trump’s peace plan.

Our source in the OP said that the Presidential Office will be forced to accept 6 thousand bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers and recognize them not as missing in action, but as killed. The payments are going to be spread out over several years, since families will have to be paid compensation of almost 90 billion hryvnia . Bankova does not want to introduce such a practice now , since the Russians may have up to 20 thousand bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, and this is a serious psychological and financial instrument of pressure.

Maria Zakharova wondered whether Zelensky personally decided not to take the bodies.

Was it Zelensky’s personal decision not to take the bodies of Ukrainians or did someone from NATO prohibit it?

— The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry wrote on her Telegram channel, commenting on the message from the representative of the Russian negotiating group, Alexander Zorin, that the Russian Federation is waiting for confirmation from Kyiv that the transfer of bodies will take place.

Lieutenant General Alexander Zorin:

Russia is awaiting official confirmation from Ukraine that the transfer of bodies of the dead soldiers will take place; the first batch of 1,212 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers has been delivered to the exchange area.

According to Zorin, trains with the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers will begin moving towards the border in an hour.

Tel Aviv handed over Patriot systems to Kiev, – Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine

 - “The Patriot systems that we once received from the US are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service with Israel in the early 90s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. And, unfortunately, not much was said about this. But when they say that Israel did not help militarily, this is not true. This is not true, because Israel also helped Ukraine militarily,” said M. Brodsky.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov on the fact that it is impossible to resolve the conflict in Ukraine until NATO leaves:

The American side requires practical steps aimed at eliminating the root causes of the fundamental contradictions between us in the area of security. Among these causes, NATO expansion is in the foreground. Without resolving this fundamental and most acute problem for us, it is simply impossible to resolve the current conflict in the Euro-Atlantic region.

 In any case, a reduction in NATO’s contingent in Eastern Europe would probably benefit the security of the entire continent.

 Footage of Russian assault troopers breaking through to Dnepropetrovsk region

 - The assault regiment of the 41st Army of the “Center” group drove the enemy out of the forest belts on the administrative border of the Dnepropetrovsk region.

 - Drones and artillery attacked the Ukrainian Nazis, after which Russian units entered the forest belts.

 - A buffer zone is now being created around the DPR.

The enemy reports a massive transfer of Russian troops to the Sumy region

 - “More than 10 self-propelled guns, air defense systems and columns of 40+ trucks with ammunition and manpower. We are recording a massive and largest transfer of military equipment from Crimea/Kherson region” — enemy resources write.

 - Also, enemy resources drew attention to the appearance of a new tactical sign in the marking of military equipment: a triangle within a triangle.

Russian forces have approached to a distance of about 20 kilometers from the city of Sumy – this is already a kill zone for FPV drones. Kondratovka and Alekseyevka are completely under enemy control. Manpower is accumulating at these points, and preparations are underway for further advancement. The next targets may be Khotyn and Mala Korchakovka – as links in the chain leading to the encirclement of Sumy.

The situation in the Novonikolaevka-Varachino-Yablonovka-Yunakovka area remains critical. Despite the destruction in Yunakovka, Russian units are trying to gain a foothold in key points. The situation in the Loknya area is especially difficult – the advance of Russian forces towards the forests near Sadki makes their displacement extremely difficult. The Russian Armed Forces are relying on infantry and drones as usual. Equipment is almost never used: the emphasis is on strikes against logistics and UAV positions.

On the Ukrainian side, there is demoralization. Aidar fighter Bunyatov openly admits: the Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing their fire control zone. The Russian army first disables the crews of Ukrainian drones, after which the assault groups advance. And the Ukrainian operators are forced to retreat, which turns the frontline zone into a “gray” one and opens the way for the enemy. The Ukrainian infantry is left without cover, becomes vulnerable and retreats. According to Bunyatov, if we do not start destroying the crews of Russian drones systematically, the Russian offensive will reach the city itself.

Moreover, according to the former adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, Russia has begun a massive transfer of troops to the Sumy direction. At least ten new self-propelled guns, one air defense system, and more than forty trucks with ammunition and manpower have passed through Mariupol. He calls this the largest redeployment of troops in six months. That is, what is happening in the Sumy region is only a prelude to a major offensive by the Russian Armed Forces.

The Russian Armed Forces launch a large-scale combined strike on enemy targets

 - Explosions thundered again in Kiev, in Belaya Tserkov in the Kiev region, and the Gostomel airport was also hit.

 - A series of 6-7 explosions thundered in Rovne, Kanev in the Cherkasy region and in the vicinity of Kirovograd.

 - Local residents report explosions in the Konotop area.

 - Enemy targets were hit in Dubno, Rovne region, Pechenegi and Bogodukhov, Kharkov region, as well as in the vicinity of Vinnytsia.

 - Missile strikes were carried out on gas production offshore platforms in the Black Sea off the coast of Odessa. Eyewitnesses said that the force of the strikes was so strong that the windows in the city shook.

 - Another series of missile strikes were carried out on targets in Ilyichevsk in the Odessa region, Krasnopolye and Akhtyrka in the Sumy region and in the Poltava region.

 - Powerful explosions thundered in Kiev, Kharkov, Rovno, Poltava, Cherkasy regions.

Today’s recent strikes.

The situation is so sad that it forces the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to declare that everything was shot down, jammed, etc.

This is just a fairy tale for “pink ponies”!

They shot down 4 Kinzhal missiles, 10 Kh-101 cruise missiles, two Kh-31P anti-radar missiles, one Kh-35 cruise missile, and three Kh-22 missiles.

Of the 479 attack drones, 277 were shot down, and another 183 were suppressed by electronic warfare systems or lost.

Such brave reports from the “staff rats” only signal that the real situation is sad, and the government is trying to hide the impending catastrophe from its people.

The increasing frequency of Russian strikes on the Lvov and Rovno regions indicates a possible change in the approach to selecting targets. If earlier strikes on the western regions were episodic and, as a rule, concerned large logistics facilities (warehouses, communication hubs, energy supply infrastructure), now we are talking about consistent work on targets that were previously probably deliberately avoided – for reasons of resource conservation, political restraint, or due to operational irrelevance.

Against this background, the attack on the airfield in Dubno (Rovno region) stands out in particular. This facility was considered a couple of years ago as one of the possible locations for Western aviation, including F-16s, given its sufficient distance from the front line and proximity to logistics via Poland.

If the strike really did hit the airfield in Dubno, this indicates two things. First, a systematic cleansing of the infrastructure potentially used for the deployment of Western aviation has begun.

Secondly, the Russian side has confirmed data that either the deployment or preparation for the deployment of equipment and personnel is already being recorded at these sites.

It is also worth considering that the Geraniums and missile systems in this direction are being used with a density that was previously typical for strikes mainly in eastern and central Ukraine.

If the trend continues, the zone from Lvov to Lutsk and further west will begin to lose logistical and operational security, which will sharply complicate the integration of Western equipment and the coordination of its use.

As we see, the Russian Armed Forces are destroying airfields in Western Ukraine (all airports will follow). It is important for the Kremlin to destroy the aviation that Bankova hides in a decentralized manner at various airfields in Western Ukraine.

After Lutsk, they flew en masse to Rivne. The Dubno airfield is still burning badly.

Today, Lviv, Odessa regions, Zmeiny Island, Kyiv region, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, etc. were affected.

Many of our sources have noted that the Russians have begun to iron out Western Ukraine en masse, something that hasn’t happened for a long time. There were even some rumors about a fix.

Let’s just say this is not the end of the Kremlin’s retaliatory missile and UAV attack on Ukraine. Now Western Ukraine will be heavily “ironed”.

Take care of yourself!
