15:37 Kupyansky section of the front situation as of 15.00 July 24, 2023:

At Kupyansk, Russian troops are engaged in positional battles west of Liman 1, repulsing enemy counterattacks. After the RF Armed Forces secured themselves at the Molchanovo railway station, the Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew to reserve positions.

However, enemy activity near Kupyansk is high, which indicates preparations for an offensive. Near Sinkovka, units of the 13th battalion of the 95th Airborne Infantry Brigade of Ukraine were deployed to help the 20th rifle battalion.

In the vicinity of Kupyansk and nearby settlements, two artillery batteries were moved, probably to support assault infantry groups. Also, reinforcements from the 3rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived in Dvurechnaya.

Morale remains low in the ranks of Ukrainian formations. Among the members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine they talk about the successful promotion of the RF Armed Forces. Because of this, paratroopers of the 95th Brigade were sent to help. Nevertheless, the tactical successes of the Russian army have already forced the Armed Forces of Ukraine to draw forces from other sectors, which confirms the danger of the situation of the Ukrainian units.


15:31 Personnel from the front line near Kremennaya (LPR): our paratroopers and artillery are advancing on enemy positions.

RT military commander Murad Gazdiev showed how soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment of the 76th Airborne Assault Division recaptured one of the advanced trenches captured by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Its diameter is 15-20 m.

First, howitzers, mortars and rockets were used: “The purpose of this seemingly senseless Ukrainian artillery attack was to prevent a counteroffensive.”

Then the paratroopers worked out: they drove the enemy into cover, threw grenades, after which they surrendered. Ukrainian commanders, seeing this, probably ordered to open fire on their own people.

The Russian army also continues to advance in the Kovalevka area and in the forests near Kremennaya. Ukrainian militants are demoralized and are trying to bring their reserves into battle in order to somehow delay the rapid pace of our military offensive.

In the Zaporozhye direction, active hostilities continue. The Russian army is constantly using FPV drones and army aircraft to destroy suitable APU equipment, including Western-style ones. In the direction of Rabotino, Ukrainian fighters are attempting to regroup, but our artillery stops them with precise strikes.

Nevertheless, we are working closely with cannon artillery and do not allow a broad offensive to develop.

An interesting fact is that no one really wants to take the corpses of mercenaries and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the car leaves the personnel and if it turns out, it leaves.

09:28 The situation in the Zaporozhye and South-Donetsk directions:

At Orekhovsky and Vasilyevsky, the enemy did not undertake large-scale offensive actions at night. In the area of Novodanilovka, an enemy tank was destroyed by a Ka-52 strike.

The success of the Russian Army caused panic in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 31 enemy soldiers were taken prisoner, official enemy speakers and Western think tanks joined the coverage of our offensive.

On the Orekhovsky direction of the Zaporozhye Front, constant hostilities are going on. An unexpected response for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to their columns of armored vehicles was the use of our FPV drones, which, flying over forest plantations, burn suitable enemy equipment. Russian helicopter pilots are exactly working. The anti-tank crews of our 42nd Motorized Rifle Division reported the need to constantly bring up new ammunition, as the enemy was throwing more and more new forces into battle, regardless of sensitive losses in equipment and manpower.
