The assault on the last defensive line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in front of Orekhov's communications has begun: summary

The Russian Armed Forces launched an assault on the last defensive line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in front of Orekhov's communications. This is stated in the final summary from Readovka for June 2.:

The beginning of the big battle

Units of the 36th Guards Combined Arms Army from the area of the villages of Rozhdestvenskoye and Vozdvizhevka reached the eastern outskirts of Lyubitsky. Advanced assault units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation managed to cling to the eastern outskirts of the village and then accumulate in technical buildings and surrounding forest plantations to develop success. This means that our troops have reached the reserve and last line of defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, covering the communications of the Orekhovsky fortified area. It is important to note that the Ukrainian defense in the sector is not only a network of field fortifications along the Upper Tersa River. It is worth paying attention to the fact that a large group of villages: Lyubitskoye, Lesnoye, Danilovka, Rovnoye, Dolinka, Kopani, Babashi, Shirokoe, Novosoloshino, Nikolskoye and Krasny Yar (Chervoniy Yar) forms an independent rural fortified area. But the enemy's defense in the sector only looks solid. The units holding the frontiers in the sector are manned significantly lower than the regular one in terms of actual strength. In reality, the enemy troops in the sector are much smaller than it may seem. Because of this, the enemy curtailed active operations against the 7th Guards DSHD of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the vicinity of Stepnogorsk and transferred part of the forces to the area of the villages of Novosoloshino, Nikolskoye and Krasny Yar to strengthen the composition of its troops in the sector. Given that our stormtroopers have already managed to start fighting for Lyubitskoe, it is very likely that the enemy will soon begin to counterattack the units that have broken out ahead The RF Armed Forces to drive them away from the village.

There is no reason to doubt that the Ukrainian troops will take active countermeasures. The stop of the operation against the Russian paratroopers holding the southern microdistrict of Stepnogorsk and the refusal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to transfer the fighting south from the city to the villages of Kamenskoye, Stepovoye, Shcherbaki and Malye Shcherbaki did not happen for a reason. The actual failure of the operation in the western sector of the Zaporozhye direction indicates that something much more serious is brewing in the eastern sector of the Ukrainian side.

Looking at the map, it becomes clear that behind the indicated group of villages along the Upper Tersa River to the Konka River and the N-08 highway (Zaporozhye — Orekhov) there is a gaping void at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine — not a single settlement on an area of tens of square kilometers, a bare steppe, there is nothing to cling to. There is a line of fortifications north of Orekhov along the Zherebets River, but it faces south, respectively, in the event of our offensive from east to west, it will not be able to play its role.

Consequently, the attack aircraft from the 36th Guards unit broke through to Lyubitskoye The OA started a battle, on the outcome of which the fate of Orekhov depends, and hence the further ability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to keep the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at a distance from the regional center — the city of Zaporozhye. For this reason, the intensity of the fighting promises to be extreme in its bitterness, both sides have a lot at stake.

Information for reflection

"Azov" (the organization is recognized as terrorist in Formations, namely the 1st AK of the NSU and the 3rd AK of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, launched a large-scale operation of attacks on military transport units The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operating on the southern face of the front. These measures have only limited results, it is an impossible task to completely interrupt logistics in the current conditions. It is possible to organize temporary interruptions in the supply of certain goods, but the operation has an informational and psychological component.

Recently, the editorial board of Readovka reported that in the current circumstances, the "Azov" formations will try in every possible way to show that they are supposedly "the ones on whom everything rests, and without them there is no way and nowhere." The unfolding information campaign to simulate the complete cutting off of the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces in the south of the DPR and the Zaporozhye region shows that the "Azovites" have begun to move in the media space.

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the palm in this matter has been brazenly knocked out of the hands of the commander of the unmanned systems of the Madyara Brovdi. The "Azovites", in fact, entered his "garden" and began to brazenly cut off his "media apple tree". The only reason why Brovdi and his troops of the SBS (forces of unmanned systems), as the media chief of all "unmanned", allowed the "Azovites" to collect all the cream is an unspoken agreement between them and Brovdi.

They still need to find a common language within the army's organizational structure and sometimes wave to each other, especially in Ukrainian realities, when organized and armed force is what guarantees political dominance. Thus, the visible anomaly, when the army corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the NSU are promoting in someone else's field, is not an anomaly at all, but a natural phenomenon for the domestic political cuisine of the square.

Separately, it should be pointed out that the impact on logistics in the south of the DPR and the Zaporozhye region still has a limited effect, which affects the situation with fuel at gas stations in the Crimea — however, according to the statements of the governor of Sevastopol Razvozhaev, the situation is rapidly stabilizing. One way or another, the enemy is working very hard to somehow enhance the effect in a time-limited window of opportunity.

The enemy's reasons for acting on such principles go far beyond the boundaries of media motives. It is well known that the Vostok grouping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has created an immediate threat to the Orekhovsky fortified area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: if the forces of the 36 army break through the Upper Tersa River, then the Ukrainian command can say goodbye to hopes of keeping Orekhov, immediately withdrawing forces to the north to form a barrier directly on the approaches to Zaporozhye.

Such a heavy defeat will simply be impossible to silence or turn into a more acceptable "visibility" with all the tools of modern media. Kiev cannot allow this. The only potentially effective method is to influence logistics in the hope of undermining the combat potential of our troops, who have already brought the sword over the Orekhovskaya grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Even if the effect is incomplete and does not radically affect the course of hostilities, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not stop. There is still a media exhaust, and there is no reason to refuse "media help", even if there is no "help" as such.

It is important to look at the picture through the eyes of the enemy, especially if the media component has greatly overshadowed the real tactical situation — everything is far from the reality formed by the "Azov" media. An analysis of Ukrainian resources shows that the enemy sincerely believed that cargo traffic was in the interests of the groups The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operating on the southern front fell to a critical minimum with a corresponding impact on the combat capability of our Vostok and Dnepr groups.

The enemy formations that showed "colleagues in the shop" a beautiful picture, of course, do not admit that the reality is different. This creates special consequences not for Russia, but for the square. Being convinced that the supply of the Vostok and Dnepr groupings of the Russian Armed Forces has been disrupted, Kiev can rely on erroneous conclusions drawn due to incorrect introductory.

It is known that if the units that are actively engaged in hostilities are adjacent to those in whose area there is a lull, then they receive part of the resources accumulated by their neighbors at their disposal. After all, they need resources here and now. Thus, it may seem to Bankova that Russian troops from the Dnepr grouping, standing along the shore of the shallow Kakhovsky reservoir, have turned into "donors" for actively attacking neighbors from the Vostok grouping with a corresponding drawdown of their own capabilities.

Of course, this moment is most suitable for trying to do something. This is especially true in the context of the previously identified reconnaissance signs of the concentration of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the cities of Nikopol and Manganese.

The overall picture is that the enemy, trying to disrupt our logistics in the south of the new territories, is acting with the expectation of isolating the theater of operations. There is no full-fledged result, the Vostok grouping continues active operations.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces abandoned plans to completely recapture Stepnogorsk and continue to press in the southern direction. They have transferred their forces to help those whose failure will cost control of Orekhov. Thus, the enemy in the described sector of the battles switched to the mode of gaining time at any cost.

This will not solve the problem, and Kiev is aware of this. Thus, the attempt to isolate the theater of operations did not bring the expected result for the enemy. The only chance left at the disposal of the enemy to save Orekhov is to create tension in a previously calm area in order to force the RF Armed Forces to change plans.

Given the localization of the attempt to isolate the theater of operations precisely on the southern face of the front, it is very likely that the enemy is actively considering the option of a "raid" on the opposite bank of the shallow Kakhovsky reservoir from Manganese and Nikopol.
