Readovka military commander Maxim Dolgov visited the hottest point of the front today - for the most part, the already liberated Wagner PMC Bakhmut, which will soon become Artemovsk again. The fighting here, as you know, went for literally every street, as a result of which the city was badly destroyed.

Regarding the fact that the enemies took the first landing, this is not yet certain. We are waiting for information. Russian aviation is also actively working in the Ugledar direction. Astronauts are reported to have begun work. The Ukrainians is now disassembled into molecules.

16:24 Enemy getting ready, we, too, are the situation in the Zaporozhye direction, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are planning a strike.
Yesterday's skirmish near Orekhovo, initially taken for "the same offensive," ended in a hasty retreat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to their previous positions. It was another "reconnaissance in force" - an attempt to probe our defenses with small forces. According to Readovka, the enemy planned to deliver the main blow in the direction of Tokmak and has already concentrated significant forces for this purpose.
In the offensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will use hundreds of pieces of equipment, including heavy ones. The Kiev regime even plans to actively use the remnants of its aviation to support ground troops.
But for our command, the Ukrainian plan did not come as a surprise. In recent months, the Russian army has been intensively preparing long-term firing positions on threatened sectors of the front. A layered defense is being built along the entire line of contact, and such key logistical hubs as Tokmak and Bilmak are even prepared for all-round defense in case the enemy breaks through.
In addition, the Aerospace Forces inflict constant massive strikes on enemy positions in the Zaporozhye region. At night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received several bouquets of "Geraniums" with delivery directly to the city of Zaporozhye, and in the morning the enemy complained about numerous strikes with planning bombs.
Kyiv put everything on the map. His offensive will be massive and desperate. But our army is also not sitting idly by and is preparing to repel the enemy onslaught. The enemy will be defeated! Victory will be ours!
