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..."
4/ "held to prevent premature destruction. Russian sources are now suddenly confronting experienced and motivated troops armed with modern western weapons, which are carrying out more aggressive actions than before. ...(..)
5/ so... 2-3 things from my own : first, it was already a myth that the troops there were only poor guys as they managed to stop for months huge amount of Ru/special troops (RU SOF) & they got used to their tactics & "understood" them.
6/ second: the new troops means new guys that need to go through that process and they still need to "acclimate" there even if "fresh & motivated".
Third. the problem remains regarding the gen support of Arty & CAS in that area of Soledar, & the limits of where they can go...
7/ by that, i mean where is the point they can push back, understanding they can just go right now to #Popasna for example or they would also lose a ton of men doing so and finally not gaining much (in term of military goals)
so they might have to carry on only with "defensive"
8/ tactics for a while.. in order to keep putting in the "meat mincer" the russians troops, and then.. in months.. maybe then, make a global move forward if they still can (in term of materials because they still don't have that much to come)
let's hope it'll work that way.

#UkraineMap #CarteUkraine Image
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 Image
3/ no visual confirmations yet as i can really tell. but we know that Ru this morning shelled #Oleksandrivka, #Lyubomyrivka, #Novomykolayivka, #Lupareve, #Chervonyi Yar, #Novohryhorivka, #Stepove, #Pervomayske, #Kyselivka (north), #Partyzanske etc

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/ 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..

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!

Absolute devastating deep Impact on the roof of buildings adjacent to reactor 2 at the #Zaporizhzhia #Zaporijia #zaporizhzya NPP.

This is roughly 100m from the reactor 2 building.
2 of this through the shell protecting the main reactor room could turn catastrophic. ImageImage

but keep cool head..
