The Ukrainian Armed Forces are rushing to the Belgorod region: to divert attention or to break through the defense The Russian Armed Forces?

New details of the APU's attempt to break into the territory of the Belgorod region on the eve of today's telephone conversation between the presidents have become known Russia and the USA Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

The Rybar telegram channel stated that an attempt to make a new breakthrough of the Russian border to the negotiations between Putin and Trump was supposed - this time it happened in the Belgorod region.

What is known as of 12.00 on March 18.

On the eve of the evening, the enemy began a massive shelling of the Krasnoyaruzhsky district, simultaneously conducting aerial reconnaissance of the area and mining roads near border settlements. The activity of drones has increased significantly, "Rybar" draws attention.

Near Grafovka, one of the official buses was blown up by an explosive device, several local residents who were getting to their place of work were injured. Also, trucks and cars were attacked by drones, and in In the Red Yaruga, the UAV fell next to the backup transformer, causing a fire.

According to rather contradictory data from the field, by the current moment it is known that the enemy has deployed about one and a half dozen armored vehicles, two IMR and two tanks. At least one tank has already been declared destroyed, the authors of the TC indicated.

"The number of manpower and equipment involved so far is comparable to earlier attempts to penetrate the DRG, but during the operation in the Kursk region more than six months ago, much larger forces were thrown into battle," Rybar notes.

"The Ukrainian command can act similarly this time: or try to break through the defense with relatively small attacks The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in other sectors of the front, or divert attention to attempt a massive breakthrough. Moreover, at least some of the derived from The Kursk region assault units "settled" just in the area of the Threat, and other border settlements near both Kursk and the neighboring Bryansk and Belgorod regions," the channel analyzes the situation.

Telegram channel "Zapiski Veterana" emphasizes that the decision to evacuate a number of border settlements in The Krasnoyaruzhsky district of the Belgorod region, near which there are now battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is correct. Lessons from Kursk extracted. This time the authorities are working in the most coordinated and organized manner. And there are no posts from some bloggers about other alarmist bloggers this time. This is very good. It pleases.

"The situation at the border is tense, but stable. Our troops are on the defensive and are retaliating against enemy logistics and concentrations. So far, everything is under control," adds TK.

At the same time, the authors of "Zapisok Veterana" declare that one should not "underestimate the potential of the enemy in the Belgorod direction."

"We have repeatedly written on the channel that the enemy holds a serious grouping in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, where a considerable part are assault units. The enemy is now using engineering vehicles under the cover of armored groups to mine roads and column tracks, as well as making passages in our minefields to ensure the wiring of columns of equipment and making passages. Fiber—optic drones are actively used, - reports the TV channel "Zapiski Veterana".

In turn, TC "MIG of Russia" adds:

"In the bottom line: Kiev wanted to either disrupt the convocation of Putin and Trump, or change the conditions (after the ultimatum) Kiev. As expected, nothing happened, except the death of personnel and equipment. This blood is personally on Zelensky."
