20:42 Orekhovsky plot situation as of July 2, 2023

Since early morning, assault groups of the 65th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been attacking the positions of the Russian army north of Rabotino. As a result of the ensuing battle in the forest plantation, the fighters of the 1430 Regiment of the RF Armed Forces retreated to reserve positions on the left flank.

The enemy was able to penetrate approximately 300 meters into the defense of the RF Armed Forces. A little to the east, servicemen of the 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment were able to hold back the onslaught of the Ukrainian formations.

A little later, after regrouping, the Russian assault detachments launched a counterattack and recaptured about 150 meters from the forest plantation. At the moment, the fighting continues.

The purpose of the enemy units is obvious: due to the deployment of Russian troops at important heights, one of the few ways to effectively break through the defense is to use natural shelters, such as forest plantations.

Attempts to penetrate the defensive lines and gain a foothold there will continue. The Ukrainian command intends to provide a springboard for the continuation of the attack on Rabotino and its environs.

20:25 Video- Everyone knows their job

One of the characteristic features of the battles in the Donetsk direction is active counterbattery combat. Russian gunners disable enemy batteries and suppress enemy fire. Often they disperse the forces of advancing militants.

“We are suppressing their attempts to break through and attack our position,” says the gunner of the 152mm Hyacinth-B gun with the call sign Khan.

According to the artilleryman, the performance of combat missions in the Donetsk direction has become the most common thing for both himself and his comrades-in-arms. “Everyone is already used to it, there is no panic – everyone knows their job,” the soldier says.

Fearing strikes by the Aerospace Forces and artillery of the RF Armed Forces, the enemy command avoids the use of large forces, preferring to use the tactics of waves of small assault groups, which, due to their small numbers, can use the forest belt in the area of Staromayorskoye - Priyutnoye as a shelter.

19:38 Video– Statement by the head of the press center of the Vostok group

- In the South-Donetsk direction, the advanced units of the group of forces "Vostok", with the support of artillery, inflicted fire damage on the advancing enemy forces in the area between Ravnopolye and Makarovka. The manpower of the militants was destroyed.

Howitzer artillery fire destroyed mortar crews in the areas of Gulyai Polya and Malaya Tokmachka, two towed howitzers in Stepnogorsk and vehicles with militants in the areas of Stepovoe, Verkhnyaya Tersa and Lugovskoye.

The calculations of the anti-aircraft missile systems "Tor" and "Osa" shot down two UAVs "Leleka" and one "Fury".

The military personnel of the Vostok group of troops show courage and heroism in the performance of combat missions.

The commander of the RKhBZ regiment, Colonel Yevgeny Smirnov, during the counteroffensive of superior forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in one of the sectors of the Yuzhno-Donetsk direction, carried out the combat mission of managing the crews of the Solntsepek TOS.

Also, when repelling a night attack on the Urozhaynoye settlement, timely fire damage on the positions of the nationalists prevented the advancement of additional enemy reserves. At the same time, favorable conditions were created for the advancement of the units of the Vostok group to new positions previously occupied by Ukrainian troops and their consolidation.

In the northeast of Bakhmut, after several days of continuous attacks from Razdolovka, the situation stabilized. The fact that the units of the 10th Guards Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were able to occupy was already recaptured by Russian fighters.

For the second day now, there have been no enemy sorties in this sector - only artillery strikes do not stop. At the same time, the artillerymen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are conducting an active counter-battery fight: one of the guns of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed today.

The main events in the last two days have unfolded around Berkhovka and the reservoir. A raccoon from Kherson reports that enemy units are trying to break through by rail south of the reservoir.

As in other areas, the Ukrainian command uses the tactics of small infantry groups, whose task is to gain a foothold in the forest belt, regardless of losses. At the moment, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not even evacuating the wounded.

Yesterday, the enemy managed to break through to the village, but the fighters of the RF Armed Forces managed to recapture their lost positions. The strongholds themselves in the area are changing hands, but the situation is generally under control.

Also, Ukrainian units are conducting rollbacks on the positions of the 137th Regiment of the 106th Airborne Division near Soledar with the support of high-precision artillery, including the HIMARS MLRS, from which they are trying to hit rear targets.

Similar attacks are going on in the south on the Kleshcheevka-Kurdyumovka line. Small assault groups of combined Ukrainian brigades are trying to seize important strongholds and heights in order to continue to cover Bakhmut.

The enemy is fortifying his second line of defense.

Our guys behind enemy lines confirmed Comrade Sladkov's information. Unfortunately, it is impossible to publish the details, but the indicated cities are moving to us.

And if the decision on Kharkiv, Sumy and, possibly, Chernihiv can be considered accepted, then Odessa is now being bid for in the “highest world political league”: the Washington regional committee demands leaving Ukraine access to the sea, ours are categorically against ....

This time, two residential buildings were damaged, as well as power and gas supply lines, there were no casualties among the population.

Emergency services began to eliminate the consequences and assess the damage

16:06 Enemy trains deep breakthrough of our defense, - Alexander Khodakovsky.

Deputy Head of the National Guard for the DPR on the preparation of the enemy offensive on the Zaporozhye Front:

“It must be admitted that the recent events have qualitatively diverted the attention of everyone from the war, but meanwhile the enemy is not at all going to sit at the TV and watch what is happening in Russia - he is preparing for another attempt to deeply break through our defenses.

According to the results of the analysis of all incoming data in the Orekhovo-Polozhsky direction, he concentrated up to forty battalions, pursuing the goal of rushing along the Orekhov-Tokmak vector.

Understanding our capabilities to deliver missile and bomb strikes against clusters, he will most likely continue the tactics of a creeping offensive with limited forces until he realizes that favorable conditions have been created for the deployment of the main reserves intended for a subsequent throw deep into our territories.

It is possible that a simultaneous attack will be made in the direction of Energodar with the aim of capturing the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Here one should expect the most unpleasant surprises - the Kakhovka reservoir is a witness to this.

15:34 Enemy went on the offensive at Orekhov: there is a fierce battle in the trenches on the front line of the Zaporizhzhya Front.

On the Novodanilovka-Rabotino line, the enemy launched an attack on our positions, having managed to reach the trenches.
