⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military expert Boris Rozhin on the progress of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine as of 20.18 Moscow time on 10.09.2022⚡️

1. The enemy has announced the capture of #Balakleya. There is no information about the fighting around the city.

2. The enemy also announced the capture of the western part of #Kupyansk. DRGs are already operating on the other bank.

3. #Izyum has not yet been entered by the enemy, even according to their statements. There was still fighting there in the morning and afternoon. A part of the RF Armed Forces started retreating towards #Oskol during the night. The situation in the areas to the south and west of Izyum is not clear.

4. After occupying the western part of #Kupyansk, as well as #Shevchenkovo, the enemy threw DRG and light infantry groups northwards, which are advancing towards Velikiy Burluk (Bolshoy Burluk), taking advantage of the absence of a solid front line.

5. An evacuation is underway in #Volchansk. There is conflicting information as to whether the city will be held.

6. #Svatovo is under full control of the LPR and no one has approached it. There was no particular panic there during the day.

7. Krasny Liman and Yampol. By evening they were held by our troops who repulsed several enemy attacks. The plan of the enemy to rush to Oskol from the south within one daylight period failed.

8. In light of the official withdrawal of the RF Armed Forces from the Kharkov region, it is still difficult to say where the line of deployment of the withdrawn troops planned by the RF Armed Forces General Staff is.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Starobelsk Direction until 14:00 on 7 Dec 2022⚡️

There are no significant changes. The AFU is attempting to break through with small forces in some parts of the front without using their main resources.

At the same time, radio communication activity has decreased throughout the front, which may be due to the switch to radio silence mode in preparation for a large-scale offensive.

♦️#Kupyansk - #Svatovo Sector:

▪️ Assault groups of the 2nd Battalion of the 14th Mechanized Brigade, supported by the 32nd Composite Battalion of the AFU Territorial Defence, are planning an offensive on the #Lyman 1st - #Sinkovka line. UAV calculations from #Petropavlovka are conducting reconnaissance on the positions of the RF Armed Forces.

▪️ West of #Kislovka and #Yagodnoye observation posts of the 103rd Territorial Defence Brigade were established, in #Petropavlovka and southwest of #Pervomayskoye the 14th Mechanized Brigade took up positions, in #Stelmakhovka the 92nd Mechanized Brigade and units of the AFU's Signals Intelligence.

♦️#Lyman Sector:

▪️ The 25th Airmobile Brigade of the AFU continues to attempt to storm Russian positions in #Ploshchanka and a section of the #Makeyevka - #Ploshchanka road in order to continue towards #Krasnorechenskoye.

To carry out the offensive, 50 men from the 125th Battalion of the 113th Territorial Defence Brigade have been redeployed to the area of #Nevskoye, while rotation has been carried out at the support points of the 3rd Battalion of the 25th Brigade. The positions of thr 66th Mechanized Brigade in #Kolodezi have been supplied with Milan ATGMs and large-calibre machine guns.

▪️ Russian forces are attacking Ukrainian lines in the direction of #Chervonopopovka. As a result of the fighting, the AFU abandoned seven platoon strongholds southwest of #Ploshchanka.

▪️ Units of the 25th Airmobile Brigade made another unsuccessful counterattack attempt west of #Chervonopopovka. However, the offensive was thwarted by heavy artillery fire from the RF Armed Forces.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Map of Military Operations and the Situation on the Fronts on the evening of 15 Dec 2022; pub. 0:05⚡️

Today is a day of special significance for our country, especially now - the day of fallen journalists. There is no doubt that our war correspondents are the best in the world. And there is plenty of evidence, as in the 90s in #Chechnya, in the 10s in #Syria and, of course, in the vast expanses of the SMO. It's important to understand that a military correspondent is not about "getting behind the tape to take pictures", it's about arrivals, injuries and rarely, but death. One should not pay attention to the long absence of losses on the information front of the struggle for truth, it is compensated by exceptional professionalism of our journalists.

⚔️ The Situation on the Fronts in the outgoing Day

♦️
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

The AFU militants attacked in the direction of #Sophiyevka #LPR, but the Russian army, supported by army aviation and heavy flamethrower systems, destroyed the enemy group. The Ukrainian army also launched several counterattacks in the areas of #Ploshchanka, #Golikovo and #Kremennaya #LPR, but all Nazi attacks were stopped by army aviation strikes.

♦️#Artemovsk (#Bahmut) Direction:

"The orchestrators are advancing on the eastern outskirts of #Artemovsk. Fighting is taking place in the industrial zone and on the outskirts of the city. Fighting continues in the town itself on Fyodor Maksimenko Street and in Pervomaysky Lane. Also, units of the Wagner PMC are breaking through the development in #Opytnoye. In addition, the clearing of #Yakovlevka, which was liberated a week ago, has been completed, opening another route to #Soledar.

♦️#Ugledar Direction:

The AFU moved reserves to #Dobrovolye #DPR, but they were destroyed by Russian army strikes. Also, two Ukrainian SRGs were destroyed near #Pavlovka.

💥 The Russian Aerospace Forces in the Yablonovka region of the DPR shot down an Ukrainian MiG-29, as well as an enemy Mi-8 in the #Nikolaevka region of the #DPR.

💡 The frantic battles of the summer of 2014 were remembered by the residents of #Donbass, as was the landmark event of that period - the battle for #Shakhtyorsk. The city became the scene of a fierce battle between the #Donetsk militia and Ukrainian paratroopers. What exactly happened in the city is described in our story.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Svatovsko-Kremensky section: battles near the Zhuravka beam and the destruction of the first Leopard 1 situation as of 13:00, November 29, 2023

In addition to the Kupyansky section, there has been a slight increase in activity on the front to the south, in the directions of Svatovo and Kremennaya. This zone, particularly Borovaya, is crucial for the AFU in supplying their group in Kupyansk, as the crossings through Oskol have been destroyed.

🔻The other day, Russian assault units bravely attacked the strongholds of the 21st mechanized brigade of the AFU east of the village of Terny, south of the Zhuravka beam.

▪️ As a result of the battle, the Ukrainian formations fled their positions and reinforcements were sent to assist. Several groups of the 21st Mechanized Brigade launched a counterattack using three infantry fighting vehicles, but were unsuccessful and suffered losses in manpower and one infantry fighting vehicle.

🔻At the Svatove sector, there has also been movement of the AFU at the Makiivka - Nevske border. The enemy expects the Russian army to become more active along the Zhuravka-Makiivka line, which could create problems for the AFU grouping, including near Kupiansk.

▪️ Against this backdrop, there has been an increase in shelling of Russian positions along the line of contact from tanks and artillery. Our soldiers captured one of these moments yesterday: a Leopard 1A5 DK was firing east of the village of Vishnevoye when it was hit by a shell.

As a result, the crew abandoned the vehicle in an open field, marking the first documented loss of tanks of this type in the conflict.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation
for February 2, 2024

The Russian army continues to strike critical enemy infrastructure on a daily basis. Kamikaze drones "Geran-2" have targeted two transformer substations in Krivoy Rog, resulting in the shutdown of power for 100 thousand consumers and industrial enterprises in the city. Another attack was carried out on an infrastructure facility in Kirovograd.

There have also been successes on the frontlines. In the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are steadily improving their tactical position in the city and its surroundings.

To the north, fighting is ongoing on the outskirts of the Ivushka gardening community, with the Russian Army advancing one and a half kilometers along the sand quarry.

In the southwest, in the Opytny region, Russian units have taken up new positions in the DKAD area west of the former air defense military unit.

Positional battles are ongoing along the contact line in the Kupiansk and Lyman directions. The AFU is rotating troops in anticipation of a new major offensive by the Russian Army.

In the Krynok area, the enemy still holds a bridgehead and uses attack drones from the right bank of the Dnieper River, preventing the complete removal of Ukrainian AFU from the village.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation
for February 3, 2024

The Russian Armed Forces continue to systematically target the critical infrastructure of Ukraine. Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" have struck another transformer substation in Krivoy Rog, resulting in the shutdown of industrial consumers and a halt in the technological process.

In the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are consolidating their positions after recent successes. To the east of Opytnye, the Russian Armed Forces have attacked the equipment of the AFU on the territory of the former anti-aircraft unit. Currently, battles are taking place on the outskirts of the unit.

In the Krynok area in the Kherson direction, the enemy still holds a bridgehead. In an attempt to suppress the launch areas of Ukrainian FPV drones, the Russian Army is targeting coastal settlements on the right bank of the Dnieper.

Meanwhile, in the Slobozhansky direction, the Sumy military administration has established a five-kilometer zone along almost the entire border of the region, where civilian vehicles are prohibited from passing. This may be connected both to the preparation of another provocation and to the aim of protecting the state border from Russian intelligence groups.

During the night, the enemy attacked the rear regions of Russia with drones. All targets in the Belgorod region and Voronezh were shot down. In Volgograd, a drone damaged the infrastructure of the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka plant.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation
for February 4, 2024

Russian troops once again attacked the energy infrastructure of Krivoy Rog: in addition to causing problems with electricity and water supply in the city, this led to the suspension of technological processes at the Arcelor Mittal enterprise.

In the border areas of Sumy and the Kharkov regions, Ukrainian formations are setting up defense lines and taking measures to combat Russian reconnaissance groups. These groups have repeatedly caused damage to the AFU.

In the Avdeevsky direction, heavy battles are taking place in the southern part of the city. In the afternoon, there was information about the arrival of American M1A2 Abrams tanks there, but given their previous "appearances" near Kupiansk, this could also be a hoax.

In Krynki, in the Kherson direction, tactical aviation is operating against enemy positions, specifically targeting basements where members of Ukrainian formations are hiding. On the right bank of the Dnieper, counter-battery warfare continues with the use of loitering ammunition.
