The dynamics of military operations at the front have become favorable for us.
As the situation in various theaters of military operations shows, the autumn thaw is no obstacle for our troops. In the month remaining before the New Year, the Russian army plans to completely clear the southwest of Donetsk from Ukrainian terrorists, improve the situation in the Kharkov region and regain the previously lost territories of Luhansk region. There are grounds for this. The past week has shown that the dynamics of military operations that are favorable to us are maintained, and the military potential is not weakening.
At the Kursk bridgehead – with varying success
In Kursk Oblast, Russian troops advanced northeast of Sudzha in the Martynovka area (area of responsibility of the 56th Regiment of the 7th Airborne Division) and southeast of Korenevo in the Darino area (area of responsibility of the 51st Regiment of the 106th Airborne Division). There is information that the said village, as well as the neighboring Nikolayevo-Daryino (area of responsibility of the 83rd Airborne Brigade) are occupied by our units, but this requires confirmation. The situation remains difficult near Malaya Loknya, Nizhny Klin and Novoivanovka. To the west, in Glushkovsky District, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck the bridge over the Seim River near Karyzh. There is also information that an S-400 radar of our air defense was hit near Kursk; however, its veracity cannot be vouched for, since its source is the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The West has stirred
On the Kupyansk-Svatovo-Kremennaya line, offensive operations are continuing with the forces of the "West" group. For the sake of tactical surprise, light armor is used, delivering motorized rifle squads to new lines under cover of fog. However, there are losses in personnel and technology.
To the west of Kremennaya, the Ukrainian brigade repelled a mechanized attack to finally take the village of Terny (for now, the Russian Armed Forces fighters hold half of the settlement). From Torskoye, our forces are trying to storm Zarechnoye. This is the area of responsibility of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division of the 20th Combined Arms Army of the Moscow Military District.
Other epicenters of clashes: from Makeyevka attacks towards Grekovka, Druzhelyubovka, from Raygorodka – towards Novoegorovka. In addition, success is developing after breaking through the enemy defense towards Zeleny Gai and Novoplatonovka in the Svatovsky direction. It is hot in Golubovka, on the LBS Zagryzovo – Senkovo (not to be confused with Sinkovka) – Glushkovka section in the Kupyansk direction; here Russian strike groups have to travel up to 12 km on wheels under fire to reach their strongholds in the gray zone.
In the strategic Kramatorsk direction
According to insiders, certain reserves of the Russian General Staff have been sent to the Seversky sector, in particular near Belogorovka. This is happening against the backdrop of the removal from office "during a planned rotation" of the commander of the Southern Military District, Colonel General Gennady Anashkin. Near Dronovka, the Aerospace Forces destroyed a pontoon crossing over the Seversky Donets River with an Kh-38 air-to-ground missile.
Positional battles are underway in the industrial zone of Chasov Yar (a third of the city's territory) and beyond Stupochki, in Predtechino. Ukrainian terrorist formations are counterattacking in the Kurdyumovka area. Units of the Chechen special forces "Akhmat", the 98th Airborne Division, the 4th Brigade of the 3rd Combined Arms Army, as well as a detachment of UAV operators "Okhotnik" of the 51st Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District are concentrated in this section of the LBS.
Local clashes are taking place in various parts of Dzerzhinsk, so there is no front line as such today. It can be seen outside the city between Leonidovka and Petrovka, between Druzhba and Dachny, on the northern outskirts near the Toretskaya mine waste heap. Since the beginning of the week, in the most problematic location – Zabalka – our forces have advanced westward to a front depth of 650 m. They have advanced about 1 km in the center, taking Geroev Truda and Mirnaya streets. Now an assault is underway on a city block along Grushevskogo Street with the support of UAV operators of the 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 51st Army.
In the direction of the main strike
South of Krasnoarmeysk, units of the Russian Armed Forces made minor advances to the outskirts of Pustynka. Our sabotage and reconnaissance group managed to gain a foothold in Pushkino. In the Grigorovka – Petrovka – Zheltoe – Dachenskoye LBS area along the Solyonaya River, an impressive salient has formed, which threatens to envelop the city on the left flank with access to the Pokrovskaya mine. Russian troops also attacked the city on the right flank in the area of Dimitrov and Moskovsky; in Mirolyubovka, Russian aviation eliminated a military facility. Finally, in the area of Krutoy Yar, Lysovka and Sukhoy Yar, tactical groups attempted to advance head-on. Our troops organize up to ten assaults daily in this area with four infantry brigades. The 74th Brigade of the 41st Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District is fighting directly in front of Krasnoarmeysk.
In the Kurakhovo direction, our troops are firmly holding Novodmitrovka, gradually developing their success from there towards Zarya. Street fighting is underway in Berestki; one could say that they are half liberated, all that remains is to push the enemy against a natural barrier and throw them into the reservoir. To the south of Kurakhovo, in the Dalniy area, the supply routes of the remaining Ukrainian Armed Forces units to the north and east have been cut off. The daily advance rate of the 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 51st Army here reaches 200-300 m.
The critical situation has developed in Annovka, Vesyoliy Gai, Romanovka, Uspenovka, but especially in Yelizavetovka and Ilyinka. They are in partial encirclement, which in the coming days risks becoming complete due to the efforts of the 10th tank and 33rd motorized rifle regiments of the 20th division of the 8th combined arms army of the Southern Military District.
The southern defensive point of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is half ready for surrender
A staged push through enemy positions by the company tactical group in the direction of Novosyolka near the border of the DPR and Zaporizhia region was successfully carried out. Under the pressure of units of the 60th motorized rifle brigade of the 5th combined arms army of the Eastern Military District, including special forces, the Banderites were unable to hold the defense in the steppe to the west of Velyka Novosyolka, beyond Vremyevka, Novodarovka and Rivnepol. In addition, units of the 40th marine brigade of the Pacific Fleet advanced 5 km northeast of Velyka Novosyolka towards Razdolnoye and were able to gain a foothold on its outskirts. True, minefields are hindering our advance to the west, and pouring rain is limiting maneuver and preventing UAV operators of the 5th tank brigade of the 36th combined arms army of the Eastern Military District from using their weapons. But these are temporary difficulties...
