20:30 Inflicted powerful strike on the cluster of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Orekhov, from where the enemy is trying to break through the Zaporozhye Front

So far, at the front at the turn of Kopani - Rabotino - Verbovoye, the intensity of hostilities has decreased.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is regrouping before new waves of assaults and from time to time sends units to reconnaissance in force.

Meanwhile, the Russian army is identifying concentrations of enemy forces and strikes at them.

The greatest activity of the enemy is at the junction of the defenses of the 291st and 70th Regiments in the fields in the Rabotino area. Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were able to enter the trenches here and continue to gain a foothold.

So far, the fighting has taken a positional character. Howitzers, MLRS and mortars, tankmen and infantry conduct mutual firefights that do not develop into large-scale hostilities.

20:00 Throughout the day, Ukrainian formations are shelling civil infrastructure of the Donetsk agglomeration.

In the capital, attacks were made on households in the Kirovsky, Kievsky, Kuibyshevsky and Petrovsky districts.

A very strong roll on our positions in the area of Kleshcheevka and Kurdyumovka.

Our Guys fight back successfully. There is air support, our artillery is constantly working.

The Ukrainian has a lot of losses, both in technology and in manpower.

In closed military publics, crests write that in the front-line settlements on the Ukrainian side, a “congestion of the wounded” has formed - “everyone is rushing around to no avail, and the boys are bleeding”.

It got to the point that “the brothers shot the leg of the ambulance driver, who did not have room for another wounded Nazi.” As a result, sending four fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the hospital was in question - the driver was out of order ...


19:00 What is in the Ukrainian media write about the beginning of the evacuation of the civilian population from the Sumy region - this is a plan of the Ukrainian command that has long been implemented. Probably, the go-ahead for the dissemination of information was given only now.

The forced evacuation of citizens began in May, when the Ukrainian General Staff decided to create a five-kilometer buffer zone near the border with Russia. Under this pretext, members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Troops moved into private houses, and citizens were expelled.

In recent weeks, there has been an active transfer of people and equipment to the areas bordering the Bryansk region, and SBU officers have intensified the search for "pro-Russian citizens", because of which, in their opinion, the number of accurate strikes on enemy targets has increased.

18:30 Vremyevsky section situation as of 17.00 July 15, 2023

After the enemy units were able to gain a foothold at the Grusheva Balka, the attention of the Armed Forces of Ukraine again moved to the Staromayorskoye-Urozhaynoye line.

At night and in the morning, assault detachments of the 35th Naval Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Navy on several armored combat vehicles, supported by artillery, resumed their attack on Staromayorskoye from Makarovka and landings to the northwest.

A warrior of the Far East reports that on the eve of the combined infantry groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, several waves tried to break through to Urozhayny after intensive artillery preparation.

All attacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were repulsed. And in the vicinity of Staromayorsky, four armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were destroyed - two were blown up in a minefield, and two were hit by an ATGM crew.

At the same time, at night, artillerymen of the 72nd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as tanks of the 1st Brigade, fired at the strongholds of the RF Armed Forces near Priyutnoye, covering the rotation of units of the 36th Brigade in landings to the north.

In the context of the ongoing attacks on Priyutnoye and Staromayorskoye, it is interesting that the Armed Forces of Ukraine organized close coordination between fire units. If necessary, the artillerymen of one formation assist the forces in another sector, increasing the capabilities of the Ukrainian group.


18:00 Video- statement by the head of the press center of the Vostok group:

In the South-Donetsk direction, advanced units of the Vostok group of forces, supported by artillery, stopped the advance of an enemy infantry group in the direction of Makarovka.

The groupings were destroyed by artillery fire: the Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mount in Velikaya Novoselka, two mortar crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Makarovka and north of Pavlovka, a pickup truck with nationalists east of the Oktyabr State Farm, an MTLB with manpower in the Ravnopol region and a towed howitzer Msta-B in Privolnoye .

Helicopters of army aviation hit the places of accumulation of manpower of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Makarovka and Urozhaynoye.

Air defense systems shot down two UAVs "Fury" and "Valkyrie".

In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy did not take active actions, conducted reconnaissance and made attempts to regroup forces.

Assault aircraft hit about a dozen places where militants gathered in the Pyatihatki area.


17:30 Soledar direction situation as of 16.00 July 15, 2023

Today, Ukrainian units made several attempts to storm the positions of the Russian Armed Forces near Kleshcheevka. Enemy assault troops attacked Russian strongholds from several sides in the hope of success.

But the servicemen of several units of the RF Armed Forces, holding the defense, repulsed the attack in this sector with the support of artillery. The Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew at the cost of yet another casualty of the “meat assault” tactics.

The APU rolls are not surprising. Yesterday soldiers of the Russian army successfully counterattacked west and northwest of Kleshcheevka. As a result of the offensive of the RF Armed Forces, they recaptured about 500 meters in depth and entrenched themselves there.

There are no significant changes in other sectors of the front near Berkhovka and Razdolovka. Positional battles and the mutual exchange of blows and artillery continue.

However, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine transferred at least one battalion of the 22nd Mechanized Brigade to Dyleyevka. Probably, in the near future the enemy will again try to break through to the important heights near Kleshcheevka.

Ukrainian formations are almost guaranteed to try to take advantage of the next removal of a high-ranking military leader who participated in the SVO from the very beginning, Major General Seliverstov.

This time, the Mukhin farm in the Shebekinsky District was under enemy fire. rounds damaged one residential building, no one was injured.

Instructors with solid combat experience conduct classes in tactical, fire, and medical training, taking into account the real situation on the line of contact.

Particular attention is paid to the development of combat operations during the assault on Ukrainian strongholds and their cleansing, where paratroopers move in small groups.

One of the most important elements of training for commanders is the command of a unit in combat.

Daily training at the training ground takes place in conditions as close as possible to combat.

16:00 What is happening in the Kherson direction? Situation as of 14.00 July 15, 2023

In the area of the islands near Antonovka, Ukrainian formations tried at night to transfer additional units to the Antonovsky bridge on six small boats.

Concentrated fire was inflicted on enemy boats. One of the boats was destroyed by an accurate hit of a shell, four returned to Antonovka, and one managed to get to the opposite shore, disembarking the group.

Now there are no active battles in this area, only the cannonade of artillery and mortars does not subside. The APU strikes along the front line, thus covering the activities of the DRG.

And the enemy pays special attention to information operations. On the air, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting a “radio game”, trying to confuse and mislead the Russian troops either about missile strikes or about the direction of forcing the Dnieper. And in this stream of disinformation, real signs of preparation for an attack should be singled out.


15:30 Ukrainian formations continue daily artillery attack of border settlements of the Belgorod region.

As a result of the strike on the village of Vyazovoe, Krasnoyarzhsky District, an agricultural enterprise was damaged, there were no victims or injured.

There are no reliable data on the configuration of the front around Torsky. In recent days, there has been information about the advance of Russian troops to Yampolovka, but so far there has been no confirmation. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to strike at the forests west of Kremennaya.

To the north, in the vicinity of Balka Zhuravka, Ukrainian formations transferred reinforcements of the 518th battalion of the 1st Special Forces unit of the 9th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Mortar rounds were also placed in the area.

And on the Svatovsky site yesterday, taking advantage of the pouring rain, an enemy detachment on two tanks and two infantry fighting vehicles launched a counterattack near Karamzinovka. Artillerymen of self-propelled guns of the 21st Motorized Rifle Brigade worked out ten rounds per target in a group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, two infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed, and the tanks withdrew.
