Below is a translation of Igor Girkin's latest update on the situation in South Ukraine. We encourage taking this report with a grain of salt as Girkin in our eyes has lost his credibility in recent months.
In general however, Girkin appears to admit the progress of Ukrainian counter-offensive in numerous locations and the establishment of a Ukrainian foothold near at river Inhulets. According to Girkin, bridges of Dnieper are practically non-operational which prevents the large...
Russian group from being re-supplied. While at the moment the results of the counter-offensive are unclear as it is too early to draw conclusions, Ukrainian forces have all chances of moving forward due to parity in artillery capabilities.
The Russians still have superiority in aviation but severely lack manpower to carry out any counter-counter-offensive operations to stop Ukrainians, and have to play from defence completely.

Summary of the daily livestream with Aleksey Arestovych, kindly brought to you by Stepan: twitter.com/childsacrifice1

wartranslated.com/day-194-septem…
Arestovich reminds us that he only reveals information already available in open sources, and that has already been officially announced in order to not accidentally cause any harm.

🔥 Battlefield update

🔥 Kherson area: The UAF have taken Vysokopillya, Pot'omkyne and Ol'hyne.
The Russians have fallen back to Novopetrivka. The UAF has taken DNR army POWs and this is good because they can be exchanged for Ukrainians in Russian captivity.

GREY ZONE “Wagner Group” channel recaps Ukrainian assault, dismisses amphibious landing claims.

They accuse Russian artillery and aviation of inaction in this direction which leads to Ukrainians continuing their advance.

Basically, GREY ZONE is the new Girkin. Image
GREY ZONE then say that while the activity on the river near Kakhovka HPP certainly takes place, there was no amphibious assault which Russian propaganda channels have been screaming about in the past days. Image
GREY ZONE also recap on recent destruction of various anti-air systems including Pantsir-S1 and S-300, and briefly assesses losses from both sides, though the number they provide is quite hard to believe. Image

Summary of the daily livestream for 3 September, Day 192, with Aleksey Arestovych, kindly brought to you by Anastasiya: @Anastasiya1451A

🇺🇦 Kherson direction

The Russian hopeful declarations of the cessation of Ukrainian counteroffensive actions were premature - UAF continues attacks on Russian logistics & command headquarters in Kherson region.
De-occupation of the South & East & the Ukrainian victory will take time, resources & will have human costs, as the advancing force is bound to have some human casualties. At the infantry level it’s a complicated & bloody affair.

- Battlefield update
Southern direction: Arestovich avoids a question about the depth of the Ukrainian advance saying instead that there are fierce battles ongoing in this theatre of operations, and the Russian army has committed its local reserves.
There are 30 BTGs on this bank of the Dnipro but Ukrainian forces "continue to accomplish their objectives". The main goal of the Ukrainian forces is to reveal and strike the Russian logistical system.

Day 189, August 31. Summary of #Arestovych and #Feygin daily broadcast. This update is provided by @savaadaak

Text version: wartranslated.com/day-189-august…

⚡️ Kherson: There won't be any fast changes, there are 25-30 🇷🇺 BTGs.
🇺🇦 Is still focusing on destroying 🇷🇺 logistics and supplies. During daytime 4 hits on bridges.
Most front-line is stable, the only way is frontal, systematically pushing 🇷🇺 back with artillery and aviation. Do not expect fast results, 🇺🇦 is protecting their troops.
Fast results are always bloody.

⚡️ Battlefield update: 🇷🇺 doing pre-planned actions in Donbas (Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Opytne, Vuhledar), not much success, not even 1km advances.
🇷🇺 don't know where to deploy their 3rd Army Corps.
