1/ so apparently yesterday There were 12 directions (not 4 like a lot of people rushed to claims) of the offensive of the Armed Forces. Four of them were successful (but i don't know more this morning). but then the Ru stopped them in lots of areas. no major "retreat" at all.
2/ The offensive will continue for exactly two or three days. (so one more time not an "indefinite" ongoing action.
of course contrary to Ru claims there were not any huge losses (in the directions reported by trustee Ukr soldiers). lots of wound for sure. it was an attack..
3/ Gen staff don't even mention it (of course) this morning and actually this won't be the first time all this happens in the south..
5/ oh by the way : the Investigative Committee of RF via RIA Novosti confirmed the death of a #Kherson collaborator Alexei Kovalyov. Days ago, in the occupied Gola Pristan Twp, he was shot in the head & stomach by allegedly partisans. in June, he survived the car bombing.
7/ Alexei Kovalyov was elected to the #Ukraine's Parliament party back then & even bought a national TV channel. When the war started, he hid in occupied #Kherson & became deputy chief of the occupation administration. a pure rat.
here he thought he was "safe" after first attack.
8/ a pic of the headquater in the #Kherson Oblast that was hit yesterday (go back to thread)
some claims this was also hit this morning... hard to follow... anyway it's clearly destroyed... lots of 200's.
taken this morning by partisans/Ukr citizen on TG chanel.
9/ as i said yesterday to someone the night was hot and early in the morning, the breakfast was hard to swallow for Russians :
Fierce battles are ongoing in the #Kherson region.
lots of vids right now..
10/ Russian forces losing a lot of men & hardware in southern #Ukraine. Southern command report artillery & air attacks hit #Kherson city #Antonivka road & rail bridges & #Darivka bridge, 160 KIA & hit 60 pieces of hardware, including air defense systems!
11/ it has been asked to all ukr officials accounts and anybody who has any SPECIFIC details on Ukrainian counteroffensive to remain silent. That would really help -
Russians are sending vids and of course basic "Osint" work is ok, but all Ukr forces now asking this.
14/ Active detonation can be heard in #Tavriysk, #Kherson region which is just facing #Beryslav and the big explosions of this recent days.
some other vides with geoloc claiming to be another ammo dumps with small explosions recorded for an hour...
Thanks to @NLwartracker : some clue about soldiers rotation now /#Soledar
"Following reports from the front in #Donbass and #Kharkiv, it appears that the #Ukrainian army has followed a daring strategy in the months after the repulsed attack on #Kyiv. It has a large part of the.."
2/ "having experienced regular troops rotate to the hinterland to recoup and be replenished with new fresh recruits who have received thorough training in recent months. Their place was largely taken by the so-called TDF battalions"
3/ "militias such as o. a. Azov, international fighters battalions and officers who were extremely motivated. What was also noticeable for some time was that from time to time criticism came from these troops about a lack of heavy (western) weapons and artillery..."
1/ Operational situation update regarding the #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on August 31, 2022.
-minor changes on the front line-
There is still some major operations in the initiative of Ukr in #Kherson area & Ru have some big losses right now. #UkraineMap#CarteUkraine
2/ About #Kherson to #Mykolaiv area.. this is what the FEBA line could look like right now. i know it's not the most "sexy" map... but there is some areas where doubts remains -so best case scenario is red dot line.
There is for sure a huge push on the main axis to #Kherson but
1/ Operational situation update regarding the #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on August 30, 2022.
-minor changes on the front line-
There is an ongoing major operations in the initiative of Ukr in #Kerson & Ru are certainly on their way to control #Kodema #UkraineMap#CarteUkraine
2/ More infos from Gen staff last report ;
3/ "RU are trying to establish control over the settlement of #Kodema from several directions at the same time, fighting continues." which means 2 things in gen staff own language : sometimes "only" that, with 24h delay OR it means "ok, bad, we are close to the end/place taken.."
1/ Operational situation update regarding the #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on August 29, 2022.
-no major changes on the front line-
But a very particular day today - all major Ru offensives were pushed back and some ukr alleged victories near #Kerson #UkraineMap#CarteUkraine
2/ i could produce a map in the #Kherson area with lots of crosses and says : here & here & here... but the truth is no one right now is able to confirm anything! nothing!
so we'll see in the coming days how it goes. nothing to worry. only good news today.
3/ i just give last gen staff report. i got to stop tonight. just be careful with infos as Pro russians r sharing some old footage now, so when you claim Ukr have advanced in a specific area then they will shut you down.. & point out your failures and mistakes
take care you all!
so please people stop tagging me or DM me about this #Kherson story
yes could be true! yes would be super cool and all!
i just don't spend my day on Telegram !
even if i have infos, i'll wait as usual 24h or if something with legit #geoloc / dates pops up i'll look into it!
thx!
2/ this afternoon is gonna be hectic:
"on s'autorise à penser dans les milieux autorisés" :
"There are initial (unconfirmed) reports that Ukrainian forces reached and liberated #SukhyStavok "
but keep cool head..
3/ In Russian-occupied Nova Kakhovka, #Kherson region, evacuations from workplaces has been announced, people are leaving for shelters - per RIA Novosti
but we don't if it's global or a simple report for a specific area.
