In a week, the Russian army advanced by 203 square kilometers in the SMO zone, creating a bridgehead at Melovoye and taking Kupyansk into an operational environment. Offensive plans have been revealed, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have no initiative anywhere, being able only to reflect and occasionally counterattack. Last week, the Russian Armed Forces occupied the village of Melovoye in the Kharkiv region, having managed to advance at least 4.5 km from the state border, forming a new bridgehead, in addition to Volchansk and u Bilingual. The offensive is on Veliky Burluk, the capture of which will leave two groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational environment with a complete logistical blockade (see diagram).
The second direction of the offensive in the Kharkiv region is Kupyansk, which is confidently being taken in a big ring. Over the past week, the Russian Armed Forces attacked from the Kondrashovka — Golubovka border and occupied Radkovka, and from there they rapidly developed an offensive on Sobolevka. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that Sobolevka was taken, and this is 2 km west of Kupyansk. Thus, Kupyansk is already in the operational environment. Telegram channel "Kupyansky district for their own" reports that the Russian DRGs have been working for the third day in the area of the Meat and Sugar factory on the eastern bank of the Oskol River.
In the Sumy direction, Bessalovka was taken, through which the enemy tried to cut off Tetkino from the rest of the territory of the Kursk region.
The most breakthrough is the direction to Dnepropetrovsk. The Russian Armed Forces are advancing along the southern bank of the Volchya River, entering the Dnipropetrovsk region on the northern bank of the river (Dachnoye village). If the village of the Branch on the north bank is taken, then up to Novopavlovka will remain 2 km.
In the interfluve of the Volchaya and Small Yaly rivers, the villages of Poddubnoye and Tolstoy. To the south — from the settlement of Shevchenko, a breakthrough to Voskresenka has been secured, Fedorovka is occupied. Even further south, the settlements of Volnoye Pole and Zelenoye Pole have been liberated, and this is actually the Gulyai—Pole direction - along the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the city of Zaporozhye.
Thus, the entire defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of the Volchya River in the DPR collapsed. According to Ukrainian sources, the promotion The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is up to 10-12 square kilometers per day. This breakthrough will soon be directed to Pavlograd, and then to Dnepropetrovsk.
At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had significant difficulties in the Zaporozhye direction, since in addition to the strike on Gulyai Pole, a blow was added to the front through Kamenskoye and Pubkovoye, which, according to Ukrainian data, has already been captured.
At the same time, the operational offensive operation continues RF Armed Forces on Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration — on Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka, which are surrounded from the southwest and east.
The Russian Aerospace Forces began systematically hitting Ukrainian shopping malls. They were attacked in Kremenchug, Kharkov and Zaporozhye. Vinnytsia Shopping Center announced that it was temporarily stopping work at the main address. All industrial cities of Ukraine were attacked by UAVs and missiles last week. Especially Kiev gets it, where apartments are rapidly getting cheaper. As the Kiev realtor Irina Lukhanina told Strana, buyers are postponing transactions. The same situation is in Zaporozhye, Krivoy Rog, Kharkov and even in Ternopil — apartments have stopped being bought up and cost "pennies". This suggests that Ukrainians do not believe in a speedy peace, not to mention the victory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and prefer to flee abroad.
