The AFU repulsed an attack by the 138th Separate Motorized rifle Brigade in the area of Hryanykivka. RuAF are trying to push the AFU out of the salient along the Oskil river north of Kupyansk.
Keeping the AFU bridge head in artillery range is essential for RuAF to prevent the AFU from developing an offensive in this area.
Kreminna-Siversk
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Kreminna and Bilohorivka. Continued efforts by RU to improve their positions for an offensive towards Lyman and Sivers'k.
RU MoD statement from today gives an indication of AFU still being in the area of Dibrova/Kuz'myne/Kreminna.
Bakhmut
The AFU repulsed attacks in the area of Viymka, Vasyukivka, Fedorivka, Ivanivske, Klishchiivka and Bakhmut. It does not look like RuAF manages to break through the AFU defenses around Ivanivske.
I think the positions along the M03 are very hard to hold for RuAF and even harder to supply.
According to @KyivIndependent Krasna Hora is not under RU control.
Vuhledar direction.
Alexander Khodakovsky (scumbag) describe how a LDNR command post got hit by HIMARS and a commander got killed t.me/aleksandr_skif…
Zaporizhzhia
The AFU repulsed an attack in the direction of Zaliznychne. I assume it's one of those "we need to do something so it looks like we do something"
RU Crybar continues to worry about AFU buildup in Zaporizhzhia direction. They have talked about this since July. The Ukrainian operation they fear must be the best planned military operation ever.
RuAF are establishing large training camps in Russia.
"99 balloons
On their way to the horizon
They were thought to be UFOs from space
That's why a general sent
A squadron behind
to sound the alarm if that were the case
It was there on the horizon
Only 99 balloons"
To every problem there is a solution.
Polands was buying 500 HIMARS, roughly 1 per km border shared with hostile nations.
They are sending a message to russia:
Stay the fuck away from us.
And before twitter loses it mind.
I consider Belarus hostile territory as long as Russian military is allowed to operate and invade other countries from there.
