Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. "Daggers".
The use of hypersonic weapons in Ukraine has become a very significant event. Russia has demonstrated weapons that can be launched from long distances, that easily overcome Ukraine's existing patchy air defense system and destroy difficult targets. The Russian Defense Ministry hinted at "other warheads." The hint, of course, is not for Ukraine. The case when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed a "cartoon" to the general public, and the Ukrainian public did not like this "cartoon" at all.
2. Kyiv.
Against the background of fighting to the west and east of Kyiv, the main theme was the strike on the shopping center in the northwestern part of Kyiv. The cries about the “attack on a peaceful facility” were easily interrupted by the invoice, when it turned out that the shopping center was used as a parking lot for MLRS and self-propelled guns, as well as an ammunition depot. With the help of technical reconnaissance data, the position of the Ukrainian artillery was calculated and destroyed with precision. After that, in Ukraine, they began to prepare a law prohibiting the removal of the positions of Ukrainian equipment on pain of imprisonment. However, the Russian means of objective control will not be frightened by the prison, but the citizens who report the location and positions of the Ukrainian occupation forces will do it a little more anonymously and cautiously. Near Chernigov without changes.
3.Sumy
There was an attempt to carry out a provocation with chemicals in the area of the city, about which the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation had warned a few days before. It turned out somehow completely rotten, and a few hours after the leak, it was announced that it had been eliminated. But, of course, new provocations with the “use of chem. weapons in Ukraine" are inevitable. It is necessary to somehow interrupt the topic with biolaboratories. Moreover, the owners of the White Helmets and the Ukrainian Nazis are approximately the same people. So the movie about “Russia poisons Ukraine with chemistry” is still ahead.
4. Kharkov.
To the north and the city fighting. Chuguev - under the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Balakliya and most of Izyum are under the RF Armed Forces. The APU in the southern part of the city is still sitting. Fighting is going on near the Izyum-Slavyansk highway, as well as near Kamenka.
5. LPR.
Fighting in the area of Lisichansk, Severodonetsk and Popasnaya. No significant progress has been reported.
6. Marinka/Avdievka.
A small advance at Maryinka. Avdievka without major changes. Also, fighting continues at Verkhnetoretsky. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to try to cling to this village.
7. Ugledar.
Ugledar itself has not yet been taken. Fighting continues in the direction of the Maryinka-Kurakhovo highway. Their results will become clear most likely tomorrow. Velyka Novoselka is under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Stepnoe, Sladkoe and Taramchuk are under the DNR army.
8. Mariupol.
The cleansing of the city continues, there are small advances in development. Cases of attempts by the defenders to mix with the civilian population and escape from the city are becoming more frequent. The less resistant ones begin to gradually flake off from the main core of the defenders and try to save their lives. According to Pushilin, the capture of the city will take another week or even more.
9. Nikolaev.
There are no major changes. Tough arrivals continue around the city on identified targets and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Kim's "counteroffensive" is no longer remembered. In Kherson, they began to disperse the maydauns by force. A step in the right direction. Throughout the territory liberated from the Nazis, filtration and counter-terrorist measures are gradually being activated.
10. Zaporozhye.
No major changes, only local battles were noted. Near Nikopol there is also no significant progress.
