Active hostilities resumed throughout the SMO zone — summary

The Russian Armed Forces resumed hostilities after the end of the ceasefire and achieved success in the battles for Konstantinovka, this is stated in the summary published by Readovka, as of May 12. A large-scale discrediting campaign has begun against the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky. The publication examined the reconnaissance signs of the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a breakthrough through the shredded Dnieper in the direction of Energodar from Nikopol:

Return to the usual rhythm

The three-day truce ended at 0.00 on May 12. Russian troops all along the front line resumed active hostilities. As a result of the "noisy ceasefire regime", it is worth saying the following. The enemy was actively trying to restore its strength, started reinforcements and delivered cargo to positions that were difficult in terms of supply and rotation of personnel. At the same time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces sought to weaken our front line with constant attacks and the use of artillery, but enemy activity was suppressed by return fire. In addition, attempts by Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups to infiltrate the operational rear were noted. RF Armed Forces. But even here, there was no independent success, the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed or captured. As a result, the enemy, in his characteristic manner, de facto ignored the proposed humanitarian initiative.

With the resumption of active fighting, Russian troops have achieved success in a number of areas. The most promising from the point of view of the result is Konstantinovka. Advanced assault groups from parts of the 8th Guards In the first hours after the end of the ceasefire regime, the AA managed to enter the blocks of apartment buildings along Gromov Street. The movement deep into the enemy's defenses in neighborhoods with high-rise buildings continues.

The attack aircraft of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also intensified in the industrial area of the city and began to move towards friendly forces that broke into apartment buildings along Gromov Street. It is not difficult to guess that the purpose of our attack aircraft is the encirclement of Ukrainian units in the southern neighborhoods of the city. In case of success of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the defense of the Armed Forces in Konstantinovka on the southern bank of the Krivoy Torets River will be dismembered.

North of the city, Russian troops are actively putting pressure on the enemy in the area of the village of Molocharka and the reservoir of the same name. They are faced with the task of forcing the Ukrainian garrison defending the northern half of Konstantinovka to stretch their forces in the hope of preventing a breakthrough The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation into the city limits from the side of the Dairy and Novodmitrovka. The situation for the enemy in the city and its surroundings is rapidly deteriorating.

To kill Zelensky

A large-scale campaign against the leader of the square has begun. It was expressed in a number of key events. First of all, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the former head of the OP, Zelensky's closest ally and in fact the "gray cardinal" of Ukrainian politics, Yermak, has been charged with corruption and money laundering obtained by criminal means. Yesterday, new materials obtained as part of the Midas operation conducted by NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine) were published. In a recent publication of telephone interception, the pseudonyms R2 (Ermak), R3 (Mindich, Zelensky's friend) and R4 (ex-Deputy Prime Minister Chernyshov) discuss the construction of luxury real estate near Kiev. During the construction of these facilities, criminal money was "laundered". It is important to note that there is someone R1 in the negotiations. If number 2 with a similar letter is the one who was actually the second person in the square — the ex-head of OP Yermak, and number 3 is Zelensky's personal friend, then we can assume who this notorious R1 is. But this person involved in the materials of Operation Midas has not yet been officially identified with anyone.

The strongest blow to Zelensky was also dealt by his former press secretary Julia Mendel, who gave a great interview to American journalist Tucker Carlson. She told a lot about her former boss. The most important of her words about the Ukrainian leader is not even that he suffers from drug addiction. And what manner of information work he chose. In an interview, Mendel bluntly accused Zelensky of not caring about the real achievement of the stated goals.

"No, if 1 thousand experts say that this is so, then it really is so," his former press secretary quoted the Ukrainian president as saying.

In a conversation with Tucker Carlson, Mendel dealt a blow not just to her former boss, but to the entire work strategy chosen by Bankova. That is, Kiev's plans imply the active use of "profitable speakers" who will broadcast lies with a thousand voices, trying to create the impression of pure truth. The ex-press secretary also pointed out that Zelensky said bluntly: "I need Goebbels propaganda." Fans of reading and watching Ukrainian sources, trusting them as "objective", as they say, a big hello.

The above, and synchronous attacks on Zelensky, are not the end. It is very likely that NABU will not stop and tell you who R1 is, there is no point in slowing down. But while Zelensky is president, he has immunity from criminal prosecution. But an important clarification: his term of office expired 2 years ago, and the Constitution of Ukraine does not establish a ban on holding elections even under martial law. Thus, Zelensky, by all indications, is a usurper of power, who rests only on the bayonets of his loyal "guards" from the SBU. It is impossible to guess when his long-awaited removal from the presidency will take place. But it is worth pointing out that Zelensky has hardly ever been in such a vulnerable position.

Intelligence signs

In Ukraine, a mandatory evacuation of the civilian population from a part of the Nikopol district of the Dnipropetrovsk region has been announced. This decision is motivated by the growing threats of shelling and drone activity RF Armed Forces.

Russian troops do not shoot just like that, "into the void." All shooting is conducted on identified targets. The announcement of the evacuation by the Dnipropetrovsk Military Regional Administration of Ukraine indicates that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have either already increased their presence in the area of Nikopol and Manganese, or are planning to concentrate there soon.

This story repeats the events of the late spring of 2023, when, under the pretext of increasing shelling, residents of a number of districts of the Sumy region were evacuated, and the abandoned border settlements were then used to deploy Ukrainian troops attacking the Kursk region. It is known that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been launching attacks on the NPP with the help of UAVs and artillery since 2022. The Russian Armed Forces systematically destroyed all targets that revealed themselves by firing at a nuclear facility. But not in 2022, nor in subsequent periods, it was the forced evacuation on the controlled bank of the Dnieper by the Ukrainian authorities that was not carried out. Now the local leadership intends to evacuate the population of one of the streets of the city of Manganese and about 100 streets in Nikopol, as well as residents of villages in the district.

These actions are full-fledged reconnaissance signs of preparing the territory for saturation with its troops. After the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovsky reservoir by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2023, the Dnieper was heavily crushed in those places, and the riverbed, on the banks of which Energodar, Nikopol and Manganese stand opposite each other, are thickets of reeds. There has long been noted the activity of enemy reconnaissance groups, which could assess the degree of terrain for vehicles. The distance from Nikopol to Energodar, the surrounding villages and the HPP itself vary from 5.5 to 9 km.
