Belgorod region. Evening 05/22/2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] In the Grayvoron region, our military seized a damaged American MaxxPro armored car (to be repaired). By evening, the enemy had partially fled abroad, taking with him an armored personnel carrier from the border crossing.  From our side, they reported eight wounded civilians, 39 killed militants and five prisoners. The enemy declared one captured border guard. Several houses were damaged in the area. In the evening, the cleansing of the border area continued, and arrivals continued in the Kharkiv region. As a result of what happened, the CTO regime was finally introduced in the Belgorod region. But they didn’t introduce it in Bryansk. Apparently, and there it is necessary to wait for a similar raid to be introduced. In the State Duma, Deputy Sobolev from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and Deputy Gurulev from United Russia (both retired generals) called for the introduction of the CTO regime in all front-line regions (here one can only agree). Prigozhin on this occasion stated that the reason for the enemy’s jump into the territory of the region was the cuts and indifference of responsible persons. In fact, he talked about something similar a few months ago. Yes, and jokes about the military commanders shouting "wolves! wolves!" about the threat of a raid on the Belgorod region now look completely ridiculous. Governor Gladkov was puffing for the officials all day today. Did what he could. The enemy, in turn, threw in a huge number of fakes to sow panic. As for the rest, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried with all their might to shift attention from the surrender of Artemovsk, which Zelensky still continues to virtually defend, but the videos from the city are very eloquent. More from Rozhin: DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Belgorod region In the Belgorod region. It seems that the current activity at the border precedes the real activation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in other directions - primarily the Zaporozhye direction. Of course, they will try with all their might to bring down the negative of the last days associated with the loss of Artemovsk. It can be noted how closely these actions are integrated into the information activities of the IPSO. The content of the action is identical to the raid of the Nazis in the Bryansk region. As for the issue of the security of the Belgorod region, without occupying the north of the Kharkov region, it is hardly possible to ensure complete security of the region's borders from shelling, actions of the DRG, etc. By 2 o'clock the enemy's armored group was driven away from the border with the Belgorod region. There are unconfirmed reports of the destruction of two Humvees. At the same time, an enemy DRG has already been discovered on the territory of the region (in the Grayvoron district), and work is underway to eliminate it. As a result of today's shelling in the region, 2 civilians were injured. Good luck to the military and border guards. Yet more from Rozhin: CTO regime introduced in Belgorod region confused CTO, which means a counter terrorist operation with the CTSO, the Russian mutual defense treaty. Sorry for the error. Judging by the IPSO stuffing in the comments, the enemy is now focusing on the stuffing: 1. In Belgorod, an evacuation is underway. 2. APU captured Grayvoron 3. A Russian helicopter was shot down. 4. Bomb shelters are closed in Belgorod. In fact, no evacuation is being carried out in Belgorod, it is the IPSO trying to sow panic through stuffing in social networks and anonymous calls. Grayvoron was not captured by anyone. The shot down heat traps were mistaken for the downed helicopter. The stuff about bomb shelters is illustrated by old messages or videos. CTO continues in the region. There are clashes in the border villages. The CTO regime has been officially introduced throughout the region today. In a good way, this should have been done last autumn, as in all front-line regions. Arrivals in the Kharkiv region also continue. More from Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets: Ukrainian terrorists act Zelensky is very predictable, just like his team is underdeveloped. To remove Bakhmut from the news, he ordered to attack the Belgorod region, which will give nothing but informational noise. He really hates to look bad on the news, that's a problem for all jesters. Now trolls and bots have something to talk about. He got what he wanted - in the morning in the Bandera public, not a single mention of the loss of Artemovsk. The attack on the Belgorod region is part of the hybrid tactics of the West to create a border zone of instability at the expense of terrorist proxy forces The DRG in the Belgorod region, the attack on aviation in the Bryansk region are links in the same chain. Obviously, there are now suicide bombers with a one-way ticket on the territory of the Russian Federation. Kyiv, of course, could not carry out this operation without the help of Western intelligence services, detailed intelligence and competent management. Both recent incidents also indicate that the enemy's tactics are varied and aimed mainly at probing various areas. Now the battle continues in the Grayvoronsky district of the Belgorod region, the enemy tried to gain a foothold using a shield of civilians, but still suffers losses. This operation is exclusively terrorist in nature and is aimed at creating a hotbed of instability and panic. It is noteworthy that the idea of the “Budyonovsky scenario” was declared both by the Nazis from Azov and personally by Zelensky, who, according to the Washington Post, repeatedly raised this topic at closed meetings. Budyonovsky scenario is a reference to the Chechen terrorist attack on the Budanovsk Hospital in Grozny, Chechnya in 1995, where a number of innocents were slaughtered, both in the attack and in the resolution by Russian forces. This took place in the first spring in the first Chechen War. The enemy, with forces of up to one combined motorized infantry battalion with an attached tank platoon, invaded the territory of the Belgorod Region to a depth of five km. Overcame the primary line of defense of the Russian Armed Forces, was stopped in the Graivoron area. The attack was carried out using UAVs, cannon and rocket artillery. It is reported that 40 Nazis were killed. In terms of information, the enemy exploits the theme of the enemy "Russian Volunteer Corps", consisting of traitors. He actively throws out narratives about the "BNR", skillfully uses fakes and blanks. Covered up the topic of failure in Bakhmut. The relevant departments gave out incoherent nonsense or were silent, which is worst of all - the enemy occupied the information field After noon, Peskov appeared (my note - why does Putin tolerate this stupid woodpecker?) Repeated the unsuccessful thesis about "squeezing out", which indicates the weak work of his team with the audience. Judging by the intermediate results, the border is not covered (note - Wu, Shoigu! the birthday has already passed!) There is no interaction, May 21st was Russian defense minister Evgeny Shoigu's birthday. CTO was announced only in the evening, the operational headquarters coordinated statements with Moscow for many hours. It can take a long time to sprinkle ashes on our comrades, but systemic errors should be identified long ago, since organizational conclusions have not been made in so many months. Poke the generals in Moscow armchairs with a stick. Maybe they'll wake up. But I don't want to rely on them anymore. They are tired of systemic failures. Posted by: badanov 2023-05-23 |
