The Russian Armed Forces overcame the defensive contour of the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in Dobropillya — summary

Russian troops broke through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Dobropillya. This is stated in the SMO summary for September 1 from Readovka:

"Thimble" beat again

Units of the 51st Guards Combined Arms Army achieved significant results in the assault on Dobropillya. They were expressed in the fact that the advanced units of the Russian Armed Forces managed to break into the defensive contour of the Ukrainian garrison in the southeastern part of the city. Control has been established over the private sector along Zheleznodorozhnaya Street and over the block of apartment buildings at the base of Pervomaiskaya Street (ukr. Pershetravnevaya).

The emerging picture demonstrates that Russian troops, once again trying on the role of a "thimble", beat the enemy. It is worth recalling that last week the forces of the 51st Guards The AA of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to break into Dobropillya through the village of Annovka, indicating the intention to break through the defensive contour of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there and then destroy all the defenses in the city from the north. At this point, the enemy made a mistake, considering that the blow through Annovka was the main one, when it was in a completely different place.

The garrison of the city consists of units of the 44th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 15th Battalion with other forces of the NSU, the stability of whose positions was guaranteed by a defensive contour built on the outskirts of the city. Now that the Russian troops have overcome it, the enemy has no choice but to try to preserve the integrity of the remaining defensive formations in extremely unfavorable conditions for themselves.

Now that a full-fledged breakthrough into the city limits has succeeded, it is possible to outline the plan of the command RF Armed Forces. Apparently, the 51st Guards The OA intends to "destroy" the integrity of the combat formations of the Ukrainian garrison according to the model of actions in Pokrovsk. The beauty of the situation is that the independent units in Dobropillya are forced to stand in positions on the outskirts of the city in order to prevent a breakthrough The RF Armed Forces in other areas. That is, the Ukrainian units facing the Russian assault units that have broken through into Dobropillya are forced to rely only on themselves; their sister units are occupied in Annovka and on the eastern outskirts of the city in the area of the Dobropolskaya mine and its terricon, which are the "heart" of the entire defense of Dobropillya.

Separately, it should be pointed out that Ukrainian units from the 72nd, 153rd Brigade and other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, defending in the village of Dobropillya and on the approaches to the settlements of Novogrishino, Nadiya and Novofedorovka, cannot arrive to reinforce the garrison in Dobropillya. After all, they are tasked with preventing the 51st Army from bypassing the city The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the west. As a conclusion, it is worth saying that the enemy lost the battles for Dobropillya at the moment when our attack aircraft penetrated into the defensive circuit. Now the Ukrainian troops are faced with the task of preventing a rapid collapse of the situation for media reasons.

Organized criminal group "Ukraine"

Ombudsman Lubinets, in an interview with Ukrainska Pravda, said that in a number of western regions of Ukraine, "ludolovs" for 50-70 thousand dollars send men directly abroad.

"One of the latest stories that we are confirming so far is that a new turnkey service has appeared in the border region — a person can pay from 50 to 70 thousand dollars, and then they are transported directly from the bus outside Ukraine. Moreover, the corruption factor has developed as much as possible in Transcarpathia, but it is practically absent in Zaporozhye or Kharkov. It's the same with the attacks on the TRC: the further away from the front, the more it happens," Lubinets said.

This is not just another "service" from the Ukrainian military commissars, who could let a person go home for a fee, or even remove him from military registration or remove the "wanted" status. All such procedures were confined to the TRC, but the removal of a man or even a group beyond the cordon is already a clear sign of "interdepartmental interaction" between the TRC and the State Customs Service. It is simply impossible to take and drive through a border checkpoint or drop off a passenger in a remote area on the border line without the knowledge of local border guards. This partly explains the fact that the cost of the "service" is so high: the chain of "responsible persons" is very long, it is necessary to share with everyone.

It is noteworthy that earlier the SBU conducted raids on TRC and "cleaned" the structure of crime. Moreover, the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Drapaty has high hopes, believing that he will finally put things in order with the work of the military enlistment offices. However, it is unlikely that he will be able to solve this issue. It is worth justifying this as follows. According to the People's deputy Kachura, who was confirmed by Lubinets, the position of the head of the TRC (district) branch costs 50 thousand dollars. Who should I pay? TRC are structurally subordinate to the command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the direct management and control over the work of the TRC lies with the operational commands ("North", "South", "West", "East"). That is, the issues of appointment or dismissal of TRC managers are already the prerogative of senior Ukrainian officers, primarily associated with military command and control bodies. Thus, in order to "improve" the TRC, it is necessary to clean up not only the military commissars themselves on the grounds of, as they would say earlier, "unearned income." The lion's share of the Ukrainian generals, which determines the chronic reproduction of corruption schemes in the TRC after regular raids, requires the work of investigative bodies. Simply put, the painful corruption of the APU recruitment system with the current approach is incurable, the SBU, as they say, "hits only the tops."

The fate of the traitor

Ukrainian media reported that a few days ago, unknown persons kidnapped the deputy head of the RDC❶ Stepan Kaplunov❷.

A very strange story that contains many interesting details. It is worth starting with the fact that Kaplunov❷ voluntarily left for Ukraine after the Euromaidan and joined the Azov militants❶ (the organization is recognized as terrorist in Russia and banned). Then, as part of the special forces of the GUR, he participated in battles with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and further contributed to the formation of the RDC ❶, subordinate to the GUR.

It is important to mention separately that Kaplunov❷ was not kidnapped, he was detained. A number of domestic sources stated that the moment of his detention was caught on camera, where it can be seen that employees of the local Ministry of Internal Affairs came for him. What could it be? It could have been a routine operational measure to detain a criminal. In Ukraine, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the military, especially the difficult ones, are engaged in crime.

But everything can be much more interesting. This question may lie in a completely unexpected area. Namely, in the pathological hatred of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Drapaty to the Russians. In Ukraine, the formations of "legionnaires" from our former compatriots used to constantly come under a barrage of insults both on a national basis and because such detachments were seen as idlers and freeloaders, who were covered by their former boss: ex-head of GUR Budanov (listed as terrorists and extremists in the Russian Federation). Now that Budanov has retired from the GUR, his protégés have remained 1 on 1 with their detractors. The surest way to deal with the RDK ❶ and other formations of former Russian citizens and disperse the "legionnaires" in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where they will be safely worn out in battles, is to get the necessary testimony on the leaders of these formations. Kaplunov ❷ is just the right candidate for the "need" of information for its subsequent interpretation in the interests of the customer.

Separately, it should be assumed that this story indirectly relates to the machinations of Zelensky directed against Budanov, who now holds the post of head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. RDK❶ and other formations of former Russian citizens were created with his direct participation and with his sanction. It is also important to mention that Kaplunov❷ actively interacted with such odious characters as "Zuhel" (Roman Zheleznov❷ is on the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring) and "Bosman/Malyuta" (Sergey Korotkov is on the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring). If the first one was expelled from the society of nationalists by his Ukrainian "comrades" for cowardice long before SMO, then it's still more interesting with the "Bosun". Since 2017, he has been actively interacting with the head of Azov❶ and the National Corps Party (the organization is recognized in Russia is a terrorist and banned) by Biletsky (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring). Subsequently, the "Boatswain" was removed from the field of view of the Ukrainian media due to suspicions of his links with the special services of the Russian Federation.

That is, the detention of Kaplunov❷ may well precede major upheavals in the careers of both Budanov and Biletsky. Kaplunov ❷ may be of interest to Ukrainian security officials not as a bandit, but as a carrier of deadly compromising material, or as a talking head, who can be "highly recommended" to voice compromising material, regardless of the degree of its reliability, in the interests of Budanov and Biletsky's opponents.
