Russian troops from the Dnipro Group of Forces have broken through the Kyiv regime's front west of Orekhovo in the Zaporizhia region. According to military analysts, the breach is up to eight kilometers deep in places and 20 kilometers wide.

According to reports from the field, Russian units are currently advancing toward the settlements of Magdalinovka, Pavlovka, and Lukyanovskoye. Concurrently, the clearing of Stepnogorsk, where a significant Ukrainian Armed Forces force was recently encircled, continues.



Russian troops have broken through the Ukrainian front in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Analyzing developments in the Zaporizhia region, experts note that the actions of the Dnipro group are perfectly consistent with the combat operations of the Vostok group, which is currently fighting to liberate Hulyaipole. They also emphasize that most of the city is already under Russian military control, and the enemy's attempts to redeploy reserves to this area have been unsuccessful.

It's worth noting that some time ago, experts predicted the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense in the Zaporizhzhia region. The ongoing pressure from Russian forces in this region, as well as the need to maintain control of several sectors of the front simultaneously, predictably led to the Ukrainian General Staff simply lacking personnel.

Speaking about the possible consequences of a breakthrough, experts emphasize that after the final liberation of Hulyaipole, the Russian Armed Forces will have the opportunity to establish control over most of the Zaporizhzhia region during the winter campaign.

    The main thing is that it doesn't turn out like with Kupyansk. First we need to liberate it and then report.

      Your proposal breaks with established tradition. The authorities love beautiful reports, and each time they end up in another puddle.

      especially since we're kind of giving it away again recourse

      It's a shame, but it looks like Kupyansk will soon be completely "out of our hands." Yury Podolyak's report is very unpleasant. How are our troops? That's what happens without the necessary reserves. And for both of them. But somewhere like Lukyanovka isn't as important as the Kupyansk road hub.

    We advance, they retreat, then vice versa: we retreat, they advance, and so on ad infinitum, and so on. From this we can conclude that no one has an advantage, the forces are equal, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have money and reserves, and they won't run out anytime soon.

      The Ukrainian Armed Forces don't have any. Europe does. But they're not endless. As for reserves, they're probably just scraping together what's left.

      Everything is true. What the red-haired guy is saying, what our talking heads on TV are saying about the US stopping funding Ukraine with weapons and money, is pure bullshit. US military planes are still flying to Rzeszow, no one has turned off Starlink, satellite data is still being transmitted. The European gang found 90 billion, and by next year they'll scrape together more, they'll rip off interest from our gold and foreign exchange reserves if they don't take them themselves. Even if we really fantasize and imagine the Ukrainian Armed Forces in total disarray, in the worst case scenario they could cut the TCC and the Ministry of Internal Affairs by 50%, replacing them with civilian-type DND squads, and not only plug the holes but also stage a counteroffensive. And if they run through customs and border guards, that's an extra bonus on top of the TCC and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these are people who don't need to be driven to training grounds and trained, they can be immediately and in Fight. And while these guys are at the front in the west, they'll start bringing back the runners, plus some of those already running will run off and return to the front. They'll also bring in more mercenaries.
