Avdeevsky direction: liberation of Berdychi and Novokalinovo

Russian troops consolidate the success achieved after the liberation of Ocheretino, Semenovka and the advance to Novokalinovo.

On the western outskirts of Berdychi, servicemen of the 74th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces erected the battle banner of the “Mad Dogs” unit on a destroyed building. Cleanup is underway in the liberated territory.

After the loss of Semenovka, as well as a breakthrough to the Ocheretinsky fortified area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to retreat from this settlement due to the high risk of encirclement. According to reports from the field, a large number of members of the Ukrainian formations chose to surrender.

According to the latest information, Novokalinovo, east of Ocheretino, also came under the control of Russian troops. At the moment, pockets of resistance from scattered enemy groups are being cleared out.

In adjacent Keramika, assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces established a foothold on the eastern outskirts of the village, which is confirmed even by Ukrainian resources. There are oncoming battles in the populated area. After the complete clearing of Novokalinovo, the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Keramik will become a matter of time due to the geographical location of the village in the lowland.

The successful actions of Russian troops over the past 24 hours will likely make it possible to soon level the front line at the Ocheretino-Umanskoye line and continue the offensive westward to a new line. In total, in April of this year, Russian troops managed to liberate more than 60 square meters. km of territory on this section of the front.

Kupyansk direction: breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense in Kislovka.

A couple of days ago, after a rather long stagnation, Russian troops launched a new assault on the Svatovsko-Kupyansk direction, attacking the positions of the 104th Troops Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kislovka.

On the eastern outskirts of the village, the Russian Armed Forces took control of about three dozen houses and a railway station. Information is being received about the complete liberation of the village, which has not yet been confirmed by objective control personnel.

At the same time, Ukrainian resources monitoring the situation at the front confirm a breakthrough in the village, speaking about the plight of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area due to the lack of heavy weapons.

With a high probability, the Ukrainian formations retreated to neighboring Kotlyarovka, the distance to the outskirts of which is no more than three hundred meters. However, with success in Kislovka, the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kotlyarovka will noticeably worsen.

Considering the location of Kislovka on a hill relative to the surrounding settlements, we can talk about potential fire control of the adjacent territory by Russian troops after the complete liberation of the village.

Success at the Kislovka-Kotlyarovka line will allow Russian troops to significantly advance along the N-26 highway leading to Kupyansk, a large fortified area and an important transport hub in the Kharkov region.

The information is confirmed by the Gorlovka fighters who took these inhabitants. Our troops also approached Arkhangelskoye, advancing from Ocheretino.

Missile attack on energy infrastructure facilities so-called. Ukraine April 27, 2024.

what is known by 11.00 April 27, 2024

Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces attacked electricity generation facilities in the Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk and Ivano-Frankivsk regions. According to DTEK, four thermal power plants were damaged.

We are talking, apparently, about Dobrotvorskaya, Krivoy Rog, Pridneprovskaya and Burshtynskaya TPPs, which are part of the DTEK structure. A photo of a fire that appeared on the Internet, presumably at the Burshtynska Thermal Power Plant, indicates that the blow fell on the operating power units.

We have repeatedly talked about the importance of hitting those thermal power plants that have special equipment that allows them to maneuver the power of the energy system. This plays a very important role in the conditions of failure of at least 60% of the capacity of the Dnepropetrovsk hydroelectric station. The Burshtynska and Dobrotvirska thermal power plants affected today are equipped with secondary frequency control devices.

The most important for the Ukrainian energy system is the Burshtyn Thermal Power Plant: it had 10 turbogenerators with secondary regulation of turbine speeds (after previous shocks, there were probably 4 left in operation). They made it possible to compensate for short-term fluctuations in electricity consumption. There was one such generator at the Dobrotvorskaya TPP.

11:02 Statement by the head of the press center of the Dnepr group -video.

Units of the Dnepr group of troops inflicted fire damage on the personnel and equipment of the 117th mechanized brigade, 121st and 126th territorial defense brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of Novodanilovka, Respublikanets and Chervony Mayak.

The enemy lost up to 35 military personnel, two vehicles, a 155mm FH-70 howitzer made in Great Britain, three 155mm M777 guns, a 122mm D-30 howitzer, and a 105mm M102 towed howitzer.

10:31 In the morning the enemy recognizes the advance of Russian troops in Ocheretino, Solovyevo and Semyonovka -map.

It also became known that Russian troops have already entered Keramik. There is also progress in the liberation of Novokalinovo.
