Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. Mariupol.
The cleanup continues. Just a few blocks away - quite a serious advance. Over the Sea of ​​Azov, a Mi-8 helicopter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was shot down, which, apparently, was trying to pick someone up from Mariupol before the death of the encircled group.
Obviously, there will be no deblockade of Mariupol. The only question is whether Azovstal will be cleaned up the same way as the city, or the plant will be sacrificed in order to minimize their own losses. cleanup.
2.Ugledar direction.
Fighting in the area of ​​Glorious and Novomikhailovka. The grouping in this direction has intensified in recent days, so within 1-2 days we can expect further advancement to the Maryinka-Kurakhovo highway.
3. Marinka.
Fights in the slag heap area. The advance is still quite slow, however, the enemy is gradually retreating, having already lost part of the fortified area.
4. Avdievka.
Avdievka itself is without major changes. Fighting near Novobakhmutovka and Novoselovka on the outskirts of New York.
5.LNR.
Severodonetsk - no major changes. Lisichansk - similarly.
In the southern regions of Rubizhne, there are battles with enemy DRGs. The city itself suffers from constant shelling.
There is some progress in the Popasna area and in the city itself, but, of course, it is too early to talk about control over it.
6. Izyum.
The accumulation of forces on the southern bank of the Donets continues and pressure on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Slavyansk is increasing. Serious fighting is also underway northeast of Barvenkovo.
7. Kharkov.
No significant changes. Fighting north and east of the city. The bulk of the fighting takes place on the outskirts of Kharkov. He doesn't fly into the city very often. Attacks are being made on the Chuguev grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
8. Chernihiv-Sumy.
The pressure on Chernigov is growing, the enemy has suffered serious losses in recent days and has completely pulled back into the city. In Slavutych, the Russian administration has not yet been established; the city, like Energodar earlier, has so far only been provided with checkpoints at the entrance. Amounts unchanged. Fighting continues north of Akhtyrka near the town of Trostyanets.
9. Kiev.
Bucha-Vorzel-Gostomel without changes. The Armed Forces of Ukraine say that the RF Armed Forces continue to try to move south towards Vasilkov. Irpin is partly controlled by the RF Armed Forces, partly by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. No one controls part of the city. He himself suffered greatly during the fighting.
10.Nikolaev.
The "attack on Kherson" was expressed in the indiscriminate shelling of Chernobaevka from the MLRS and an attempt to attack with a mechanized group supported by infantry in the direction of Kherson. In the steppe, the group began to be covered with artillery, and it rolled back to Nikolaev with losses.
In addition, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation also threw well on the outskirts of Nikolaev, destroying several guns and MLRS, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine also had losses, after which they began to urgently collect blood in Nikolaev. The exact number of casualties in this "offensive" is unknown. Perhaps blogger Kim will tell us about this after he finishes eating barbecue at the resort.
