We advance, stumbling - there is no other way yet

The week that has begun has brought us some alarming news. news from the Central Black Earth direction, encouraging from Kharkov and optimistic from South Donetsk. The situation in Krasnoarmeyskoye is still confidently stable.

The pressure does not weaken

The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their offensive operations in the Glushkovsky District of the Kursk Region, west of the main invasion site, where the enemy is also trying to advance. As a result, Bandera formations have advanced west of Vesyoloye, occupying the northwestern sector of the village. Here they are confronted by units of the 56th Regiment of the 7th Airborne Division. In addition, fighters from the 106th Airborne Division, the 810th Marine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet, and the 155th Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet are fighting in the Kursk region. Western sources report that the direction is covered by 40 personnel of the Russian Armed Forces with a reserve of up to 6 bayonets.



In the main area of ​​the invasion, Ukrainian troops control the previously disputed Kremyanoye, Lyubimovka, Olgovka and are approaching Korenevo. Contradictory information is coming in on Sheptukhovka and Kauchuk, that is, the LBS there is mobile and nothing definite can be said at the moment about the ownership of the aforementioned settlements. Fierce fighting is underway north of Sudzha, in the area of ​​Pogrebki and Cherkasskoye Porechny. The village of Kamyshevka, held by Russian units, is under threat of encirclement. Our forces are counterattacking in the area of ​​Darino and Nikolayevo-Daryino, as well as in the area of ​​Plekhovo.

The forces are accumulating…

In the Kharkiv region, in the area of ​​Glubokoe (the right flank of the Severokharkov section), in the area of ​​Vovchansk and Tykhoe (the left flank of the Severokharkov section), clashes continue, so far without the advance of our assault groups. The 79th Infantry Regiment of the 18th Motorized Rifle Division of the 11th Army Corps of the LVO, as well as the "Storm" unit of the 11th Tank Regiment of the aforementioned division are involved here. The VKS continue to carry out pinpoint bombing strikes on Vovchansk, and the territory of the Vovchansk aggregate plant is now a gray zone. Western sources report that the direction is covered by 46 thousand personnel.

According to insiders, young reinforcements have been transferred to the Liptsy area to reinforce the 82nd regiment of the 69th motorized rifle division of the 6th combined arms army of the LVO. The main forces aimed at Kharkov are the 72nd motorized rifle division and the 128th motorized rifle brigade of the 44th army corps of the LVO.

… But Seversk and Chasov Yar still don’t intend to give up

On the Kupyansk-Kremennaya line, opposite Svatovo, we captured the southern and eastern outskirts of Andreyevka, and completely liberated Makeyevka. Beyond Sinkovka-Petropavlovka towards Kucherovka, units of the 25th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 6th Combined Arms Army of the LVO of the "West" group are unable to develop their success. Intensive air raids have been recorded in the area of ​​Vishnevoye, Zarechny, Kruglyakovka, Lozovaya, Nevsky.

With the support of aviation, combat operations are intensifying opposite Seversk near Belogorovka, Verkhnokamenskoye and Vyemka, as well as in and around Chasovoy Yar. Units of the 98th Airborne Division are attacking north of Chasovoy Yar (Kalinovka) and south of it (Belaya Gora).

In the center, there is an obvious expansion of the arc...

In Dzerzhinsk, the Russians have modestly advanced westward along Druzhby Street in the central part of the city by no more than a hundred meters over the past week. It looks like the breakthrough to Shcherbinovka is dragging on. So far, we can only state that Nelepovka has been completely liberated.

Our units have advanced along the Krasnoarmeysk-Tsukurikha railway line (station in the settlement of Tsukurino). Krasny Yar and Krutoy Yar have been liberated. Fighting is underway for Nikolaevka in the Grodovsky village council (not to be confused with the settlement of the same name, located 8 km to the southeast and liberated a month ago). A number of sources have hastened to announce its capture, but so far, alas, this is not the case. Soon our soldiers will have to storm another, third Nikolaevka, located nearby, the outskirts of the settlement of Novoekonomicheskoe.

Russian troops are systematically putting pressure on Krasnoarmeysk and are trying to encircle Selidovo first. The work of the sabotage and reconnaissance group of the 24th Special Forces Brigade of the Main Directorate of the General Staff is noted near Vozdvizhenka, Lysovka, Mirolyubovka, and Novotoretsky. Enemy attempts to regain lost positions in the Marinovka area are observed.

And in the south – all attention is on Ugledar!

Beyond Donetsk, the Russian Armed Forces are launching offensive operations west of Alexandropol, Georgievka, and east of Ostrovsky – in Maksimilianovka. Russian troops have finally captured Selidovo Colony No. 82 (this correctional facility is located on the territory of Kurakhovka, 15 km south of Selidovo). The 33rd Regiment of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District is advancing directly to Kurakhovo; the 238th Artillery Brigade and the 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade (both from the 51st Combined Arms Army) are trying to take Ostroye.

The offensive continues to the southwest of Donetsk in the area of ​​Ugledar. Success is noticeable to the northeast of the city - near Vodyanoye, Yekaterinovka, Yelizavetovka and to the north - near Bogoyavlenka. The remnants of the Ukrainian fascist battalions are being smoked out of the ventilation shafts of the Yuzhnodonbasskaya #3 mine west of Vodyanoye and the surface mine complex. Ugledar itself has been largely taken, and the city blocks are being cleared of the remaining nationalist formations.

The Cossack volunteer unit BARS-11 "Kuban" from the combat army reserve in the Rabotino area is not weakening its efforts to push through the Zaporizhzhya positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The 54th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District is also successfully operating near Kamenskoye in the Vasilievsky district (not to be confused with the settlement of the same name in the Melitopol district, located 58 km to the south).

How Frontline Successes Are Safely Minimized by Defeats in the Rear

In conclusion, about what has been irritating me more and more lately. As is known, on September 29, Ukrainian special services launched another drone strike on the rear facilities of the Russian Ministry of Defense, in particular Kotluban in the Volgograd Region, which caused fires in the area. Airbases in Millerovo in the Rostov Region and in Voronezh were attacked by enemy aircraft-type munitions. There is unofficial information about a fire at the airbase in Yeysk in the Krasnodar Region, etc.

According to official data, 29 UAVs were shot down over the Volgograd Region on the night of September 67, 17 over the Voronezh Region, and 18 over the Rostov Region. But for some reason this is of little comfort. Moreover, our retaliatory “retaliatory actions” do not affect the enemy’s behavior in any way. Or am I missing something, or have they gradually imposed their manner of waging war on us?
