1/ Operational update regarding the #russian_invasion at 1800 on July 26, 2022.
No major changes on the entire front line But Ru have minor success & loss with small assaults groups. #UAarmy is resisting. In some place doubt remains
#UkraineMap #UkraineRussianWar #CarteUkraine

2/ In the #Slovyansk direction, the enemy shelled the areas of Nortsivka, #Dolyna, Hrushuvaha, #Krasnopilla, #Mazanivka and other settlements with barrel, rocket artillery and tanks. It tried to advance near #Bohorodychne, was unsuccessful (since the 10th of May!), and withdrew.

3/ In the Kramatorsk direction, artillery shelling was recorded near #Raihorodok, Zakitne, #Serebryanka, #Verkhnyokamyanske, #Vyimka, Pereizne and #Bilohorivka (...)
Ru unsuccessfully tried to scout the positions of the Defense Forces in the #Verkhnokamyanske area.

4/ Dang! i forgot the map with n°3. here it is
also you can notice from previous report that area of #Bilohorivka was shelled. yes. the heights for the 800th times is not under Ru control - very easy to fully get it with a real topo map. Hryhorivka would have fall if area was Ru

5/ Cynically carried out airstrikes directly on the settlements of Pokrovske and #Novoluhanske.
Our defenders successfully repelled enemy assault attempts in the districts of #Berestove, #Soledar and #Semihirya. Fighting with an assault group continues in the #Pokrovsky area.

6/ Ru conducted an airstrike near #Malynivka. The occupiers also carried out assaults in the areas of #Pavlivka and #Blahodatne villages. They were repulsed and retreated with losses.
I'm not sure about the area.. another place where i don't have direct infos & mvts are recorded.

7/ so.. the "thing" i wanted to talk about tonight is from direct report, this morning (officialy) RU has loss in an area i would not expect! & that's good news! ZSU successfully repelled enemy assaults in the areas of National Nature Park "Svyati Hory" & pushed the enemy away.

8/ except that this area is supposed to be fully under Ru control. and we also had some report from Telegram UA that they had success in the area of #Yarova
so several questions and hypothesis. is that the same event (because it's close to each other) or a real line of fights

9/ because until recently Majaky was severely attacked because Russians were preparing attack in the area.
SO : only one can of soldiers can go in these area with no real heavy back ups & fight in the wood night and day and have success against regular troops.
if it's a real

10/ big push from #UAarmy it could be really good news, and would greatly disrupt RU preps to cross the river to attack #Sloviansk . so now the question remains to what they want to do? regain #Drobysheve and #Yarova and more?? let's see how this one unfold.

11/ So ... yes I forgot to tell about : "in some places doubts remains" :
because we have infos that some Ru were destroyed and pushed back but i still have no infos about the real progress or not of Russians in #Novoluhanske and the
Centrale thermique de #Vuhlehirska

12/ i've just received infos, & it seems confirms by direct photos produced by wagner group (i never mentionned them but it fits now the datas) that
Centrale thermique de #Vuhlehirska the thermal power plant of #Vuhlehirska was taken by Ru because Ukr evacuated it
#Вуглегірська

13/ so this could be the new map tonight.
we'll see tomorrow for more infos of the area..
the big problem here is that 2 little cities could fall quickly then...

14/ so if all this is confirmed... this is the actual global map at the end of the day :
poke @CedricMas

15/ on oublie souvent #Sumy Oblast but it is also important as i often mentioned it :

21/ casual Telegram reports from Ru troops moving out from #Studenok & #Yaremivka in #Kharkiv Oblast but no confirmation yet & #Bohorodychne was still attack today. but with the official confirmation of Ukr troops wins in the #Sviati Hory National Park -that could tell something

22/ i have received info that Russia is "organising" the official "demand" of "volunteering" recruits from all military districts / regions of Russia to form a new bataillon to help for the "special operation". the aim is to raise at least 20k men, for the winter & replacements.

23/ one btg of forced volunteer per districts if you need me to be clear.
but i'm not sure how they count it.
only foot soldiers or complete frankenstein BTG ? or else. only still asking around 20k men
Last days i've reposted official Ru request for such number by the way.

24/ =16 bis some of the bridges destroyed

27/ =22bis 23bis

it is 35k men total (the famous 20k from few days ago... from direct recruiting) and more that are asked to complete that number...
they just talked about it now. so they need 35k.
Ru on the field can wait for long....to see all these new friends..
