In the Krasnolimansky direction in the area of the Nevsky site and Serebryansky forestry, coordinated actions of the units of the "Center" group reflected and thwarted six attempts to return the lost positions of 67 and 42 Mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


12:47 Orekhovsky area situation as of 12.00 July 28, 2023:

All day yesterday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine accumulated forces along the road from Novodanilovka and by 21.00 began moving towards Rabotino on more than a dozen tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored combat vehicles. The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to break through the defense with an armored fist, but the fighters of 1430 and 71 Motorized Rifle Regiments, as well as 810 Naval Infantry Brigadeof the RF Armed Forces, met them with fire.

Only according to visually confirmed data, five units of armored vehicles were destroyed. And according to preliminary information, Ukrainian formations lost up to 15 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.

Now the situation in the area has stabilized. Due to worsening weather conditions, the road was washed out again, so attacks on armored vehicles are unlikely in the next 24 hours. Infantry groups are still active in the landings, but this is rather a standard phenomenon.

UAV companies were officially introduced into the 33rd, 47th and 65th Mechanized Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the creation of which was announced back in February. They are equipped with strike and reconnaissance drones of various types. Orekhov has already noted the work of the Danish RQ-35 Heidrun.

At the same time, the decrease in the level of artillery attack of advanced positions by Ukrainian formations in comparison with the intensity of recent weeks looks curious. Probably, against the background of the lack of success in the Orekhovsky sector, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to strike somewhere in another direction to shift the focus from their failures.


11:47 As a result of the rocket attack on the Kyiv region of Donetsk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, three civilians were injured. One of the rockets hit the roof of the house, followed by fire, the second rocket hit the yard.

In the South-Donetsk direction, the forward units of the Vostok group of forces, supported by artillery, repelled several enemy attacks in the direction of Urozhaynoye. Having suffered significant losses, the enemy retreated.

In the Zaporozhye direction, enemy attacks in the direction of Rabotino were successfully repelled. Tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored fighting vehicles and enemy infantry were destroyed.

An attempt by militants to bring reserves to the Priyutnoye area was thwarted. The arrived living force is destroyed. During the counter-battery fight, a multiple launch rocket system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed in Malaya Tokmachka.


11:05 Situation at the front on July 28:

Orekhovskoe direction: after a short break, the Armed Forces of Ukraine again tried to break through to the village of Rabotino, but again suffered losses. The ground forces of Ukraine have not yet changed their tactics - they continue to pull up reserves and conduct “meat assaults”.

People are not protected, and equipment, on the contrary, is used to a limited extent. Artillery of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is actively throwing at the enemy in the area of Novodanilovka and in places of accumulation of equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Malaya Tokmachka.

South-Donetsk direction: in the areas of Priyutnoye, Urozhaynoye and west of Staromayorsky on the Vremevsky ledge, the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to build up forces after a series of unsuccessful attacks. All the reserves that are in this direction are used. The tactics are generally similar to those in Zaporizhzhya - the technique is used to a limited extent, "meat assaults" are carried out almost every day. The human losses are enormous.

On the northern and western approaches to the Staromayorsky Armed Forces, they are trying to gain a foothold and create conditions for further advancement, just like in Pyatikhatki. The tactical situation is approximately the same: as soon as the enemy tries to accumulate forces, the artillery of the RF Armed Forces begins to work.

Svatovo - Kremennaya: on the Svatovsky sector of the RF Armed Forces, they advance with a wide front of about 10 kms from Novovodyanoe to Sergeevka. The advance was several kilometers, the key supporters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were taken, many prisoners were taken. To the south of Kremennaya, fighting continues in Serebryansky forest, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have difficulties with the transfer of reserves, some units are being withdrawn from neighboring fronts to plug holes in the defense.


10:41 On the Zaporozhye front in the Rabotino area, the enemy is accumulating forces for the next wave. At night, the enemy landed in forest belts and trenches, our artillery worked closely.

In the morning, one AFV with personnel was destroyed. The number of the enemy at Rabotino is increasing, but there are few vehicles, probably, they will go “meat”. The technique is likely to be used by mercenaries.

Now it's raining, everything is washed out, there is a lull, but the enemy is preparing for another wave.

10:15 Heavy fighting is underway on the Vremievsky ledge, the RF Armed Forces are counterattacking near Staromayorsky. According to Idi and Smotri, Russian units are counterattacking near Staromayorsky.

“Most of the village is controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian units are counterattacking,” the channel’s interlocutor said.

According to him, the Russian army still holds Urozhaynoye.

10:10 One person was killed, one was injured during the strike of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with cluster munitions in the Zaporozhye region - Acting Governor of the Balitsky region.

In Staromayorsky, the enemy is trying to gain a foothold and create conditions for further advance. Our units are biting off with all their might, leaving no attempts to counterattack, and are also working to clear places where the enemy could remain during yesterday's offensive attempts in the Priyutnoye area and west of Staromayorsky.

In the Rabotino area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to kill themselves against our defensive orders. They tried to attack the positions of 71 SMEs - they were dispersed by artillery and army aviation fire and driven back, losing two infantry fighting vehicles. The enemy lost two more infantry fighting vehicles in the area of Novodanilovka, two tanks were destroyed north of Rabotino. Also, fire damage was inflicted on columns of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Malaya Tokmachka.

08:55 The enemy was preparing a new strike, but did not have time: the fighters spoke about situations in Maryinsky and South-Donetsk directions.

Artillerymen have been performing combat missions in the Maryinsky direction for a long time. According to our servicemen, the enemy has now become more active. Conducts aerial reconnaissance constantly.

“Birds fly all the time. The place of deployment has to be changed very often. In order not to fall under the counter-battery fight,” said the Deputy platoon commander with the call sign “Petrovich”.

In the South Donetsk direction, the enemy is attacking not only with the help of artillery and drones - Western armored vehicles have come into play, which are burned out by rocket artillery of the Eastern Military District. The enemy was preparing a new strike from the forest plantation, but did not have time.

“The ammunition depot was hit. Sheltered equipment and personnel. They show us the area, we leave. We take a position and get ready to work. The target appears immediately. We are starting to work on the target, ”said the commander of an artillery battery with the call sign Irtysh.
