17:30 Telegram channel “Fisherman“Kherson direction: concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces forces and strikes on the islands, situation at 17.00 September 28, 2023

In the Kherson direction, Ukrainian formations continue to accumulate forces, while simultaneously continuing attempts to gain a foothold on the islands on the Dnieper.

The enemy landed another batch of manpower in the northeastern part of Aleshkinsky Island. However, Russian troops observed these actions and struck the area where manpower was concentrated. After this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces evacuated the wounded by boat to the village of Nikolskoye.

In the central part of Pereyaslavsky Island, the Russian Armed Forces worked on an observation post of Ukrainian formations, and also hit another boat with personnel that left the village of Nikolaevka.

The enemy also notes the intensity of Russian aviation's use of guided bombs with UMPC modules. In recent days, the Aerospace Forces have indeed carried out a series of precise attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the islands and the right bank of the Dnieper, causing them losses in manpower. In addition, at night there were explosions again at the Kulbakino airfield.

However, the Ukrainian command does not yet plan to abandon its plans, as evidenced by the arrival of new units in the Nikolaev and Kherson regions. And in Nikolaev itself, a new round of mobilization began with the distribution of agendas on the street, which fully fits into the framework of the enemy’s latest activities in the south.

16:30 Telegram channel “Fisherman“ Limansko-Kremensky section: situation by 15.00 on September 28, 2023

After the advance of Russian troops towards Torskoye at the end of June, there was relative calm in the sector. The fighting boiled down to mutual artillery shelling, drone strikes and firefights.

In Serebryansky forest, west of Kremennaya, units of the Russian Armed Forces are storming individual strongholds in order to take a more advantageous tactical position. From time to time, videos from captured positions and captured members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces appear on the Internet.

At the same time, the Ukrainian command is afraid of the resumption of hostilities in this area and is trying to strengthen the lines. In particular, in the direction of possible Russian attacks from Dibrov and Bal'ka Zhuravka, additional fortifications are being built.

To the south in Seversk there is a concentration of forces, including the transfer of armored vehicles, which can be used both in Kremennaya and in the Soledar direction. At the same time, the formation of the next assault unit was completed there, which has already been sent to the front line.

However, there is still relative calm in the area. Yesterday there was even an unusual episode when, at the formation level, the parties agreed on a temporary ceasefire in order to remove bodies from no man's land for burial.

But it did not last long - the Ukrainian Armed Forces used the humanitarian truce to strengthen their shelters, and less than an hour later they began working with artillery again.

For the soldiers of the RF Armed Forces, however, this development of events did not come as a surprise at all: they only once again saw with their own eyes the attitude of the enemy towards their fallen comrades.

15:20 A resident of Mariupol told how the Ukrainian military shot civilians just like that.

14:24 Telegram channel “Rybar” Orekhovsky area: night battle near Novoprokopovka situation as of 14.00 September 28, 2023

At the moment, all the fighting in the area is taking place near the Rabotino-Verbovoye line, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to wedge themselves into the Russian defense. There is a lull in other places: in the same Pyatikhatki, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces unsuccessfully tried to advance in the summer, it is now relatively calm.

At night, Ukrainian formations decided to launch an attack on Russian positions near the village of Novoprokopovka with an armored group of two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles.

The enemy was quickly discovered from the air: according to Archangel Spetsnaz, after the first vehicle was hit by an ATGM, the entire column turned around and began to retreat, during which another piece of equipment hit a mine and was abandoned by the crew.

Despite the setbacks, the Ukrainian command does not plan to give up the onslaught and is carrying out a rotation. Several more units of the 71st Jaeger Brigade were sent to the rear for restoration, and assault groups of the MTR of Ukraine arrived at the line between Rabotino and Verbov.

Also spotted on the front line were two German-made Leopard 2A6 tanks from the 12th Separate Tank Battalion. And foreign mercenaries were transferred to Malaya Tokmachka and Novodanilovka.

At the same time, in recent weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered significant losses from the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which are actively carrying out airstrikes on the front line with bombs containing UMPC. The increased intensity of their use forced the enemy to transfer additional Western-made air defense systems to the site.

13:25 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Belgorod direction situation as of 12.00 September 28, 2023

In the morning, a Ukrainian sabotage group tried to break through the border to Starosel. A small detachment of up to six people began a battle with border guards.

As a result of a short firefight, Russian units repelled the attack, and the DRG retreated - the Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to break through.

Looking at the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, I immediately remember the end of May and the beginning of June of this year. Then, after the loss of Bakhmut, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in order to interrupt the information feed, began an attack on Shebekino, using the legendary Vyrs from the RDK.

Now, against the backdrop of the lack of visible results on the front, Orekhov is also fighting against the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces at Verbovoy; it was not possible to encircle the city at Bakhmut) DRG forays into the Belgorod region can slightly increase morale and draw attention to the northeast, as noted by Elder Edda .

At the same time, attacks in the border areas may begin in other areas, including the Bryansk and Kursk regions. The concentration of forces near the border remains, and artillery is being massively fired at Russian positions, preparing the way for ground groups.

This is indirectly confirmed by the activity of Ukrainian formations in Kharkov, where they noticed the movement of columns of military equipment. Yes, this could be a train to reinforce the group near Kupyansk, but the possibility of a second attack on Shebekino cannot be ruled out.

After all, short-term PR and victory on the Internet are more important for the Ukrainian authorities than a long-term tactical effect. Moreover, this kind of action will allow us to draw attention before attempting to strike somewhere in another direction, for example, in Soledarsky or in the south.
