War in Ukraine. Summary 07/30/2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin: [ColonelCassad] 1. Artyomovsk. Fighting in the Veselaia Valley area. After the capture of Klinovoye and Pokrovsky, the RF Armed Forces intensify the defeat of enemy positions on the outskirts of Artemovsk and concentrations of forces to the west of the city.  To the south-east of Artemovsk, the RF Armed Forces, after clearing the Uglegorsk TPP and Novolugansk, took part of Semigorye and are expanding their zone of control in the area of Novolugansk and Dolomitnoye. After the end of the battles for Semigorye, we can expect the start of full-fledged battles for Kodema. The enemy continued shelling from heavy MLRS targets in the depths of the LDNR. 2. Soledar. Fights in Bakhmutsky, Belogorovka, Yakovlevka. Fighting on the eastern outskirts of Soledar. In the city, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are striking at locations and concentrations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the outskirts. 3. Seversk. After the transfer of reserves from the Slavic direction, the enemy was able to stabilize the front and continues to hold key heights around Seversk. The Seversk-Soledar road is also controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, although it is exposed to artillery fire from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Fights in the area of Serebryanka, Verkhnekamensky, Ivano-Daryevka. 4. Kharkov. Fights in the area of Upper Saltov, Lower Passages, Nursery, Liptsov, Tsupovka, Uda. There are unconfirmed reports of the advance of the RF Armed Forces near Borshcheva. Intense attacks on Kharkov, Chuguev, Zolochev. The Armed Forces of Ukraine fired on Cossack Lopan and border villages. Several concentrations of enemy forces were destroyed in Kharkov. 5. Slavyansk. Positional battles in the area of Prishib, Sidorov, Dolina, Bogorodichny. There are no serious advances at the front. Attacks on the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration, on Krasnoarmeysk. There is a noticeable bias in the hunt for heavy artillery of the enemy and the remaining air defense systems. On the Izyum direction - without any changes. Moderately intense fighting in the area of Bolshaya Kamyshevakhi, Kurulka. In the Balakleya area - no changes. 6. Avdievka. To the north of Avdievka, fighting along the Avdiivka-Konstantinovka highway, in the area of Kamenka and New York - without significant progress. To the south of Avdievka, the DPR army is stepping up pressure on Peski and Krasnohorivka, having achieved advancement through a continuous enemy fortified area. The attack on Avdievka does not promise any immediate success. It is possible that all this will eventually turn out to be restrictive actions to prevent the Armed Forces of Ukraine from transferring reserves to other directions. 7. Ugledar. Positional fights. Fighting near Novomikhailovka, in Marinka. To the east of Velikaya Novoselka, the enemy attacked unsuccessfully in the direction of Novopol. On our part, they say that they are strengthening control over the villages south of Velikaya Novoselovka. Positional tendencies dominate here. It was from this direction that Ukrainian prisoners in the Yelenovskaya colony were destroyed by a HIMARS MLRS strike. 8. Zaporozhye. On the line Kamenskoye-Orekhov-Gulyaipole - without significant changes. Medium-intensity combat operations. The enemy launches missile strikes on Melitopol and Tokmak, reinforces the grouping in Zaporozhye, which, if possible, can launch attacks in the direction of Vasilyevka, Tokmak and Pologi, which can become an alternative to the “attack on Kherson” (another fallback option is Balakleya in the Izyum direction) . 9. Nikolaev. The enemy, after weeks of chatter about the "attack on Kherson," switched to chatter about the "offensive of the RF Armed Forces on Nikolaev." Unsuccessful attempts at offensives near Vysokopole, Davydov Brod, Belogorka showed the costly nature of the attacks, and that in order to achieve success in the conditions of dominant aviation and unsuppressed artillery, much more forces and readiness to bear more serious losses are required. Therefore, now the emphasis is on strikes on bridges across the Dnieper and ammunition depots of the RF Armed Forces, as well as terrorist attacks on territories liberated from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Nikolaevsky, Krivorozhsky and Nikopol directions are still on the defensive. There is a build-up of forces and an increasing systematic strikes against Nikolaev. The most dangerous for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is the Krivoy Rog direction. The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Nikolaev seems unlikely. 10. Odessa, Dzerzhinsk, Sumy - no change. Posted by: badanov 2022-07-31 |
