⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary on 18 August⚡️

🔹In
#Zaporozhye Direction, the AFU continues methodical attempts to break through from the north near #Rabotino. Also, having made passages in peaceful fields, the AFU are attacking bypassing the village, and fighting is going on. The RF Armed Forces keep fire control over the whole territory of #Rabotino, preventing the attempts of the AFU to bring equipment and ammunition to its northern part and preventing the enemy from gaining a foothold.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, the AFU offensive on #Staromlynovka has begun. Ukrainian forces are entrenched on the western outskirts of #Staromayorskoye, preparing for active defence, and setting up false and hidden positions. The AFU are pulling up reserves to #Urozhaynoye and also shelling our positions at the Zavitne Bazhannya - #Staromlynovka line. The Russian army is responding with high-explosive bombs and artillery. It is not easy for us to hold on, we need more forces to hold our lines.

🔹In #Donetsk and #Bakhmut Directions, the AFU strike fist is gathering. At #Kurdyumovka and #Gorlovka, assault squads have been spotted. Yesterday the RF Armed Forces foiled reconnaissance by force near #Keramik. Today an AFU tank attack on #Kleshcheyevka, which remains under the control of the Russian army, was repulsed. Fresh reserves of the AFU attacked near #Gorlovka and #Toretsk, intensive fighting is taking place near #Dyleyevka, #Majorsk and #Ozaryanovka.

🔹In #Krasnyliman and #Kupyansk Directions, the RF Armed Forces are entrenched, and the AFU counterattacks, trying to restrain the offensive of our army. Assault attempts were reflected in the #Serebryanskoye forest and #Torskoye, and on the #Raygordok - #Karmazinovka line the AFU stopped attempts to dislodge our positions. Fighting continues for positions in #Petropavlovka.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦☠️ On the Graveyard of AFU Equipment in #Staromayorskoye⚡️

🎬 Recentl
y, a video appeared on the net illustrating the loss of enemy equipment in the battles for the village of #Staromayorskoe. On the streets of the settlement and in the nearest foreground there are 31 skeletons from various wheeled armored vehicles, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

⚔️ According to them, one can judge the scale of the battles for a generally small settlement and partially recreate the nature of the hostilities. Enemy equipment was methodically destroyed on distant approaches to the village by artillery and aviation fire, and also undermined by mines.

📌 A large part was destroyed during the assault on the village itself. Probably, the armored vehicles were either hit in close combat or covered by artillery during the landing. Each destroyed armored vehicle had at least two crew members, and in some cases, troops.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛳 Speaking of the new Route for Ship Movement from #Ukraine⚡️

🗓 Now, at least six ships
are travelling in the direction of various ports in the Mediterranean Sea, from #Haifa to #Alexandria, according to data from the Marine Traffic Service.

🇺🇸 And the intelligence attention of the #US and #NATO Air Forces is fully focused on controlling this corridor. One R-8A, three MQ-9A Reapers and one E-3A UAV patrolled over the mouth of the #Danube and the coastline of #Romania and #Bulgaria.

▪️ That's not counting the RQ-4Bs and RQ-4Ds that have been monitoring the situation off the coast of Krasnodar Kray all today, apparently tracking Black Sea Fleet activity and the fire in the port of #Novorossiysk.

❗️The new route on the example of Joseph Schulte is quite workable. Vessels sail along territorial waters, and in the event of the approach of the Russian fleet, they can easily enter the ports of #Constanta, #Varna and #Burgas, not really worrying about possible inspections.

▪️ It is possible to prevent this. However, the capabilities of the Navy are very limited for several objective reasons, from gross mistakes in the construction of the fleet in the pre-war period to the irrational use of forces and means. And, unfortunately, there is no progress on many organizational issues at all.

📌 At the same time, the free movement of ships to #Ukraine and back creates additional threats to Russian harbors and ships. Especially given that #NATO intelligence is working without interruption, and the AFU are intensively preparing for attacks, which they want to coincide with the Independence Day on 24 August.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts for the Evening of 18 August 2023; pub. 05:05⚡️

⚡️ The exploits of the Russian soldier on the frontline never cease to amaze. On one of the fronts our fighter was wounded, but was not immediately detected. Already in the morning he was found not far from a Ukrainian stronghold, where an unnamed warrior crawled alone, who gave the wounded man first aid and pulled him to the evacuation group.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts over the past Day

🔹
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

▪️ The Russian army continues to knock the militants out of the #Sinkovka vicinity. At the same time, the AFU unsuccessfully attacked in the #Olshana area.
▪️ Counter fighting continues at the #Karmazinovka ledge and near #Torskoye.

🔹#Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) Direction:

▪️ Our fighters successfully counterattacked in the direction of #Bogdanovka. All enemy attacks near Dubovo-Vasilyevka were also repulsed. Fierce fighting continues in the area of #Kleshcheyevka.

🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:

▪️ In the #Orekhov section, the AFU continue to send fighters to the slaughter, this time one of the enemy attacks at #Rabotino was choked due to a tank stuck in a funnel from a FAB. The Russian infantry also performed well. During an enemy attack our machine gunner eliminated eight Nazis from an ambush.
▪️ Meanwhile, on the #Vremyevka ledge, our fighters continue to hold the defences at #Urozhaynoye and #Staromayorskoye.

Being wounded at the front is an everyday occurrence that must be reckoned with. And prepare for it, is what the 1st Battalion's Medical Platoon commander of the 4th Brigade "Elisey" did, who equipped a first aid station near the line of contact. After all, often our fighters may simply not have time to get to a rear hospital, and on the frontline it is not always possible to provide the necessary assistance.

Ukrainian military voluntarily surrender to Russian troops at the first chance.

Ukrainian soldiers say that they are treated as expendable. Commanders call the mobilised soldiers 'one-time soldiers'. Men are taken from the streets or lured to the recruitment offices with fake excuses.

According to the prisoners, there are no officers on the front line, equipment and rations are poor, the men have low morale.

⚡️The pilot of a downed Ka-52 was evacuated near Rabotino

A couple of days ago there was information that a Ka-52 helicopter belonging to the Russian Air Force was shot down near Rabotino. Unfortunately, the information has been confirmed.

At our disposal was a video of the evacuation of the pilot, who managed to eject from the helicopter. Earlier it had been reported that the navigator of the "Alligator" was killed.

Immediately after the helicopter crash, an Mi-28 moved into place, which examined the territory, established the location of the survivor and sent a signal for evacuation. After a short period of time, a transport helicopter landed in the field, which picked up the pilot.

North-Eastern operational zone (Kupyansk, Swativsk and Limansk directions)

The enemy is shifting its emphasis mainly to the Kupyan direction, concentrating its main efforts there.

They regard the Lyman direction as auxiliary, but this does not mean that the intensity of fighting there will decrease.

In general, the most difficult sections now are the directions of Sinkivka, Stelmakhivka and Novoyehorivka. He does not stop trying to capture the enemy and Belogorivka.

The occupiers had minimal success. Somewhere they managed to go even 1-1.5 km, but under our counterattacks the enemy rolled back almost completely to the exit points, or left an additional 300 meters under their control.

Of course, such a number of forces and means of the enemy in such a narrow section of the front can be a little frightening. But our soldiers have been preparing, so they know who will do what and how.

Still, comparisons with Bakhmut are inappropriate. Yes, the occupiers here also practice meat assaults, the use of prisoners and bet on artillery fire.

But otherwise the situation is somewhat different. First of all, Bakhmut had strategic importance, the main roads in the north of Donetsk region passed through the city.

And to Kupyansk-Vuzlovoy, it is still the same 7 km as before. And then - Oskil. Wide. This is not a narrow and shallow Bakhmutka. After the river - the main part of Kupyansk with rapids and other "pleasures".

Fighters from that direction say that "they care, not Kupyansk." I am of the same opinion. Of course, the situation can change. But at the moment it is such that the orcs can get stuck and not achieve what they want.

They did not achieve this in the winter (they did not return to Izyum, Kupyansk and Lyman with Borova), and now is not the time to tell.

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️ Images of the defeat of a convoy of NATO equipment and AFU marines near Urozhaynoye have shocked Ukrainian military propagandists and the media
▪️На Ukraine is increasingly shocked by fresh footage of the defeat of AFU armoured groups.
▪️"The footage shows a column of 37 OBrMP, which was given the task to move from Urozhaynoye to Kermenchik. All the way the enemy (RF Armed Forces) was watching it, our artillery preparation is not visible on the footage either. It is not clear why the column was travelling without cover virtually one-way," Ukrainian military analysts quoted by the Kiev media are perplexed.
▪️Потери The AFU had at least about two dozen men, Ukrainians wrote.
▪️ВСУ said they captured Urozhaynoye this week. At the same time, the AFU General Staff reported Russian counterattacks in the village.
