17:21 Rabotinsky ledge as of 30.08:
After weeks of assaults on Rabotino, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered significant losses without occupying the settlement. The RF Armed Forces still control the southern outskirts and the surrounding heights. As previously reported, under such conditions, it is futile to continue the assault or is associated with heavy losses.
Therefore, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided, with the help of units that had previously stormed Rabotino (and this is mainly the 82nd Brigade), to increase the pressure on the line of heights controlled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and towards Verbovoye.
Today's reports of heavy fighting near Verbovoye are connected with this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to take a number of positions in the fields and approach the settlement, after which they came under artillery strikes. In the future, we expect the continuation of intense attacks in this direction, but the pressure on Rabotino will decrease in the future.
17:05 Ukrainian militants fired an AGM-88 HARM missile at the Budennovsky district of Donetsk.
16:56 The Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at a kindergarten in Nova Kakhovka - a fire started on the spot, which is now being localized. Special services have already arrived at the place of arrival and have begun to localize the flame -video.
16:40 Kherson direction setting as of 16.00 August 30, 2023
In the Kherson region, assault detachments of the 126th unit of the Terodefense again landed in the gray zone on the left bank of the Dnieper, four kms northwest of Podstepne near the eco-farm. A boat with supplies and provisions was sent there at night.
Probably, in the near future, attempts will again be made from there to storm the positions of the Russian army near the Kazachi Lagery, as we said a couple of days ago. At the same time, detachments of the 121st troop troop of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are waiting on the opposite bank.
Another enemy DRG, under the cover of mortars and copters with a grenade drop system, again landed on Pereyaslavsky Island. It is under fire from artillerymen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
To the west, units of the 406th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Novodmitrovka-Belozerka line fire at Staraya Zbur'yevka and Kozulikhsky Island. The strikes on the island indicate that this area is at least in the gray zone, on which our reconnaissance groups operate.
Also yesterday, closer to midnight, another Tekever UAV took off from Odessa, which flew to Tendrovskaya Spit and Karkinitsky Bay, and another Tekever flew from Kobzartsev in the direction of Skadovsk through Antonovka.
They probably had to track the landing of the DRG GUR, which could not reach the peninsula. Unlike the previous flight to the Crimea, the Armed Forces operated at a distance from air defense systems. But the very fact of another unhindered passage through the Kherson region is alarming.

15:48 Combat work of the artillery units of the Ussuri paratroopers in the Artemovsky direction, the village of Kleshcheevka -video.
15:31 Orekhovsky area setting as of 15.00 August 30, 2023
At Rabotino, due to huge losses in manpower and the futility of moving south through the village, the command of the Ukrainian group adjusted plans, pulling the forces of 82 Separate Airborne Brigade to the area east of Rabotino.
With the joint efforts of two battalions of the 82nd and 46th Brigades of the Airborne Forces of Ukraine, they attacked the positions of the Russian army northwest of Verbove with the support of artillery artillery attack the front line with cluster munitions.
Also, separate assault groups of the DShV, reinforced by detachments of the SSO of Ukraine, launched an offensive south to heights 136.8 and 110.3 in the area of Balka Krivoy and were able to make some progress in this direction. They are under fire from artillery and aviation.
In the second line to Malaya Tokmachka, reinforcements from 118 Separate Mechanized Brigade, 10 Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as second-echelon units from the 15th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine were transferred. At the same time, their movement to the south is complicated by the destruction of the crossing over the Konka near the village.
At the moment, the efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are focused on fire suppression of anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations of the RF Armed Forces. Three Su-27s armed with HARM missiles operate daily in the air. In Krasnaya Krinitsa, the Bukovel electronic warfare crew operates.
And as part of the counterbattery fight in the settlements north of Orekhov, units of the 148th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were deployed, supplemented by UAV crews as part of the formation of reconnaissance and strike complexes as part of the artillery troops.
The idea of the enemy is clear in principle: they want to penetrate the defenses between the villages, flooding the front line with meat and destroying the defensive positions of the RF Armed Forces with artillery.
The example of Rabotino shows that this was not particularly successful. But a little to the east, they were able to squeeze out the RF Armed Forces from several strongholds and at the moment they continue to put pressure, despite the losses.
14:30 AFU attacked the Boulevard City building in Donetsk with an American missile -video.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Boulevard City building in Donetsk with an AGM-88 HARM missile. As a result of the detonation of the warhead of the rocket, the facade, the ceiling were damaged and the glass was broken. Fortunately, there were no casualties in this attack.
14:10 Vremyevsky section setting as of 14.00 August 30, 2023:
In the Vremievsky sector, Ukrainian formations are regrouping due to heavy losses during attempts to occupy the Staromayorskoye-Urozhaynoye line. Marines of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy were withdrawn to Shevchenko for restoration.
At the same time, Russian fighters are engaged in a shooting battle with units of the 1st rifle battalion of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a landing a few kilometers west of Staromayorsky, knocking out the Armed Forces of Ukraine from their positions. Now Russian artillerymen are conducting a massive artillery attack of the front line.
However, the enemy continues to accumulate reserves for an offensive with the aim of breaking through to the Sea of Azov. Three groups of the 23rd Separate mechanized Brigade arrived in Rovnopol after being understaffed, and assault detachments of the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade also returned to the line between the Shelter and Cherished Desire after restoration.
And to the north, five artillery crews of M777 howitzers with long-range precision-guided munitions and six 152mm self-propelled howitzers "Akatsiya" were pulled together to the north to Berezovoi and Shevchenko.
Also, five British Challenger tanks and an unidentified air defense system were deployed to the Kurakhovo railway station. It is not yet clear where the weapons will be sent: it could be both Mar'inka and Avdievka.
But it can also be the South-Donetsk direction, which is more important and promising for the Ukrainian command due to the need to cut off the land supply of the Russian Armed Forces grouping in the Zaporozhye region.
13:32 Statement of head of the press center of the Vostok group:
In the South-Donetsk direction, the advanced units of the group of forces "Vostok", with the support of artillery, inflicted a fire defeat in order to prevent offensive operations.
Rocket and cannon artillery stopped the activities of the reconnaissance group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and hit two points of temporary deployment of militants in the Staromayorsky area, a point of temporary deployment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the outskirts of Novopol, an observation post and a truck with ammunition in Urozhayne.
During the counterbattery fight, mortar crews were destroyed north of Novodonetskoye and Vladimirovka, two 152mm towed howitzers "Gyatsint" in the area southeast of Privol'noye, areas of concentration of manpower in Novomikhailovka, Urozhaynoye and Neskuchny were hit.
The strike of the Iskander OTRK destroyed wagons with ammunition at an unloading station northeast of Velikaya Novoselka. Attack UAVs destroyed two pickup trucks with militants in the areas of the Oktyabr state farm and Levadny. Loitering ammunition "Lancet" destroyed the artillery installation "Acacia" in the Novoselka area.
Aviation hit the places of accumulation of manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Staromayorsky, Harvest and to the north of Nikol'sky. The calculations of the Osa air defense system shot down an UAV of the Leleka aircraft type.
13:00 The situation in the direction of Rabotino remains tense. The enemy is rushing, each time they bring up new mobilized to replace those who fell in the very first minutes of their so-called assaults. This was stated by the Acting Governor of the Zaporozhye region Evgeny Balitsky.
According to him, only last night in the Zaporozhye direction, about two hundred soldiers from the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed.
“This morning, at about 0900 hrs, another assault group attempted offensive operations on the outskirts of Verbovoye and was destroyed by our forces. The same fate awaited the next group, which crawled closer to eleven o'clock. The gray zone of Rabotino-Verbove becomes a mass grave of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the head of the region wrote on his Telegram channel.
12:41 In the Kupyansk direction, assault detachments of the 6th Army and 1st Tank Army continue to push through the enemy's defenses. Over the past day, the enemy was knocked out of two more strong points.

12:00 Deputy Head of the National Guard for the DPR, Alexander Khodakovsky, on the situation at the front near the Vremevsky ledge and in the Ugledar direction:
“The enemy decided to activate. After Yrozhaynoye, things are not going very well for him yet, and he changed tactics: he tightly processes the cutting edge with all available methods. Western gifts prevail - cluster munitions. Now everything he sends to us is Western gifts….
Our intensity of fire, unfortunately, is inferior, and therefore the enemy feels more comfortable than we do. Processing our positions during the day, at night he tries to crawl into the gray zones with infantry and gain a foothold, however, while not risking an attack. But not everywhere the initiative is in his hands: in the area of the village of Nikol'skoye, the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade recaptured several positions from the enemy and strengthened its position. At the Urozhayny sector, our troops also periodically organize counterattacks, but so far without much success - the lack of ammo is taking its toll.”

11:30 Military expert, captain 1st rank Vladimir Gundarov - on the direction and timing of the main Russian strike after repulsing the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
“NATO members expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were dispersing forces along the entire front, and demanded that the Ukrainian commander-in-chief Zaluzhny concentrate on the southern direction, go towards the Crimea and the Sea of ??Azov. Indeed, the number of brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has increased there in recent days, and the number of artillery attack of our positions has also increased.
At the same time, on the northern flank of the contact line, we are advancing towards Kupyansk. We could continue to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the north. We have a chance to achieve something on the weakened northern flank of the Ukrainian troops. I think that either at the beginning of autumn or at the beginning of winter, when the southern grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be defeated and when the ground becomes harder, we could develop an offensive in the north.
If we take the direction to Kherson and Nikolaev, then the Dnieper in the lower reaches has become not at all as full-flowing as before. It is better to force it, of course, in winter. But there is one problem. We have created powerful minefields there, and before moving forward, we will need to make passes for our troops. Therefore, in this sense, it is easier for us to go on the offensive in the north.
If we repeat the maneuver - from the territory of Belarus to move troops to Kyiv, there the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to build a powerful line of defense. In that direction are the famous Pinsk swamps. They will have to be overcome. These swamps cut the strike force and thereby weaken it. It would be disadvantageous for us.
The direction from Bryansk to Chernigov is also unprofitable, there are forests all around. I cannot say that they are impenetrable, but it is very difficult to advance in the forest with large forces. This is a trap for tanks and armored vehicles, where a grenade launcher can sit behind every bush.”
11:22 Circumstance in the South-Donetsk direction:
In the Vremevsky sector, the enemy is completing preparations for a further offensive. The reserves have been redeployed, and the formation of assault groups has begun. If there is some calm on the Zavetnoye-Zhelaniya-Staroml'ynovka-Kermenchik line, then on the Priyutnoye-Staromayorskoye line the enemy became more active yesterday, drove up to a company into the forest belts north of the Sheltered Territorial Defense Unit, at first they were thinned out with artillery and heavy weapons, then the attack aircraft from the 127th Motor Rifle Division left for a sweep, after which the 15 remaining militants were destroyed.
The same attack aircraft were very surprised when they were told in a conversation that the enemy had managed to announce some kind of advance in this direction.
No dynamics are observed in the Ugledarsky section. FPV drones, artillery duels, sometimes the work of our aviation.
10:53 Statement of officer of the press center of the group "West":
In the Kupyansk direction, the advanced units of the Zapad group of forces repelled two enemy counterattacks with forces up to a reinforced platoon each, supported by tanks and artillery from the 44 Separate Mechanized Brigade.
At the Kopanki-Novosergeevka line, the enemy used a Mi-8 helicopter to support his defending units, but as a result of underflight, he inflicted fire damage on his positions.
Assault and army aviation of the Zapad group inflicted 12 strikes on personnel and military equipment of 14 and 43 Separate Mechanized Brigades. The total losses of the enemy amounted to up to a company of personnel, two mortar crews and a pickup truck in the area of the settlement. Dvurechnaya and Tabaevka.
