Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] 1. Zaporozhye direction.
Attacks in the area of ​​Rabotino and Verbovoy do not bring success to the enemy. Still no progress.
Plans to break through between Rabotino and Verbov cannot be realized, therefore, due to the exhaustion of operational reserves, it is necessary to transfer units from other directions in order to maintain inertia and delay the moment of official abandonment of the offensive due to its failure.
In fact, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, for political reasons, continue to conduct offensive actions in conditions where it has long ago entered the saturation stage. A similar situation developed in the Pyatikhatki area, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ offensive fizzled out even earlier.
2. Vremevsky ledge.
Here the situation is identical to the situation in the Zaporozhye region. The enemy was bogged down in battles in the areas of Priyutnoye, Staromayorsky, Urozhaynoye, Novomayorsky and Novodonetsky.
After attempts to change the focus to attacks on Novomayorskoye, the enemy has now reduced the intensity of attacks and is regrouping.
As in the Zaporozhye direction, in some areas the enemy began to equip their new positions with engineering equipment in anticipation of mud roads and possible active actions of the Russian Armed Forces.
3. Donetsk direction.
The Russian Armed Forces remain active south and north of Mar'inka, but there has been no significant progress yet. Fighting continues at the ventilation shaft of the Trudovskoy mine.
In the city itself there are no changes, as, indeed, in Novomikhailovka and Ugledar.
In the Avdeevka area, fighting continues north of Opytny, Nevelskoye and near Krasnogorovka. There are no special changes.
4. Artyomovsk direction.
The main battles continue on the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka-Kurdyumovka line.
The enemy continues to try to gain a foothold in the ruins of Andreevka, which as a settlement is completely destroyed.
The main positions of the RF Armed Forces are near the railway tracks. The enemy is sitting in the plantings and at nearby heights.
Both sides claim control of the village, but in fact neither side has complete control over it.
Fighting continues in the southern part of Kleshcheevka and in the area of ​​adjacent plantings. Both sides are bringing additional forces here.
The situation near Kurdyumovka is stable, the village is under the full control of the Russian Armed Forces. North of Artemovsk the situation is stable, local enemy attacks have been repelled.
On the Seversky ledge and in the Soledar direction - without any special changes.
In the Belogorovka area, our troops were able to take several oporniks, but it is too early to talk about serious progress.
5. Svatovo-Kupyanskoe direction.
Our troops again repelled local enemy attacks in the forest west of Kremennaya and continued the offensive towards Oskol, west of Svatovo. The pace of progress is not very high right now.
In the Kupyansk area, our troops continued to put pressure on the enemy in the area of ​​Sin'kovka, Petropavlovka, Masyutovka. The enemy continues to evacuate areas adjacent to Kupyansk.
