“North of Orekhovo, we observe a cluster of enemy equipment. At least fifty units. The enemy is concentrating forces for a decisive blow. He needs to go to Verbovoye, then to Tokmak. We hold on. Zaporozhye front. The 58th Army of Russia," D. Rogozin, head of the Tsarskie Wolves group of military advisers, reports.

20:30 In the situation with the morning landing of the Ukrainian DRG near Olenevka in Crimea, new and even very funny details emerge. According to the entry from one from CCTV cameras, the enemy was inadvertently driven away either by a watchman or a tourist with a civilian carbine.

It is unlikely that he could have fought for a long time. But a collision that would immediately attract attention was clearly not part of the plans of the saboteurs. As a result, they limited themselves to recording tiktok in a whisper in the semi-darkness, fired at random from a grenade launcher and retreated, losing some of their equipment along the way.

All this, of course, is not a reason for hatred moods: the problem of the activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Cape Tarkhankut in Crimea has not disappeared anywhere and is only becoming more relevant. But a civilian in swimming trunks, scaring off GUR saboteurs is something new.

At the same time, Ukrainian formations continue to press on Russian positions east of Rabotino. Judging by the scale of the artillery preparation, the enemy will soon try to storm and break through to Verbovoye in order to create a threat from the rear to the forces of the RF Armed Forces in Novopokrovka and Novokarlovka.

In Pyatikhatki, the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remain the same as two months ago: the enemy is trying to enter with reconnaissance groups and gain a foothold in an abandoned settlement. Soldiers of the RF Armed Forces detect activity and strike at enemy manpower.
