Attacks were made on Zaporozhye (8-9 missiles, outskirts), Mirgorod - an air base, aircraft were hit, Shepetovka (railway infrastructure facilities), Dnepropetrovsk region (railway station).  In addition, standard strikes were carried out - objects in Nikolaev and the enemy artillery maneuvering zone, from where fire was fired at the ZNPP, were hit. Rocket artillery hit military facilities in Krivoy Rog. It can be stated that for the first time in a long time, the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered massive effective strikes against enemy targets. What does this time strikes infrastructural and with a qualitative definition of targets. The enemy carried out regular shelling of Donbass: Over the past day, from 08:00 on August 24 to 08:00 on August 25, four people were killed and 14 more civilians were injured. Among the wounded, two children were injured as a result of shelling of the VFU in the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic. Energodar (ZaES) and Novaya Kakhovka (hydroelectric power station) were also attacked. Heavy fighting is going on on the Donbass front for what was Maryinka. According to our reports, the city has been cleared by 75 percent, in fact, we have the second edition of Popasna, the point where the grinding of forces takes place, until the moment who will be bled earlier. At the moment, there is still no turning point in our direction, although the enemy is suffering serious losses, still compensating for the lack of shells by the mobilized. In other areas - no change. We have little infantry. Variable positional battles are going on in the North. In the Kharkov direction, something similar to Minsk is observed. Each rotation of the enemy leads to offensive attempts and increased shelling. After suffering losses, the enemy sharply reduces activity ... until the next rotation. In the South, after the occupation of the village of Blagodatnoye in the Nikolaev region, no change. Artillery duels with superiority of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In the rear, attempts were noted yesterday to hold meetings of relatives of those mobilized in Kyiv, Zhitomir and Poltava. The organizers of the rallies were identified by the Ukrainian SBU (like Russian FSB) and arrested for high treason. All further attempts, and there will be more of them, with an increase in the number of losses, will be stopped in a similar way. In general, internal terror and tightening of the screws on the territory of the UGIL is growing with a trend towards maximum tightening closer to winter. Arms supplies from the West are also on the rise, it was announced yesterday : New arms supplies from the US to Ukraine will begin in the next few months, US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kohl said at a briefing on August 24. The new assistance package is designed for $3 billion. Deliveries within its framework will begin in the next few months; on the whole, a heavy positional confrontation continues with a tendency to activate our side. caused by the threat of a humanitarian catastrophe in the DPR in winter due to problems with water and damage to infrastructure. Also, constant strikes against critically dangerous facilities in the South require the expansion of the security zone. The near future will show whether yesterday's blows were a one-time event or whether it was decided to take the confrontation to a higher level. Posted by: badanov 2022-08-25 |
