Text supplied by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
[ColonelCassad] Over the past 24 hours, the Kiev regime continued attacks on Russian energy infrastructure using various types of UAVs, as well as the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system.
On March 28, at about 10:20, the Kiev regime launched a double strike, using, according to preliminary information, HIMARS rockets at the Sudzha gas metering station, which resulted in a major fire and the energy facility was virtually destroyed.
Also, on the morning of March 28, Russian air defense systems in the Saratov region shot down and intercepted 19 Ukrainian attack UAVs of the fixed-wing type, the target of which was the infrastructure of the Saratov Oil Refinery.
In addition, on March 27 in the Belgorod region at about 15:00, as a result of targeted artillery shelling of the facility of the branch of PJSC Rosseti Center - Belgorodenergo, there was a power outage for consumers in the Shebekinsky district.
Thus, all publicly stated commitments of the Kiev regime to allegedly stop deliberate attacks on Russian civilian energy infrastructure are yet another ploy by Zelensky to prevent the collapse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces front and restore its military potential with the help of European "allies".
The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) attempted to attack an oil refinery in the Saratov region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on March 28.
“On the morning of March 28, Russian air defense systems in the Saratov region shot down and intercepted 19 Ukrainian aircraft-type attack UAVs, the target of which was the infrastructure of the Saratov Oil Refinery,” the defense department said in a publication on its Telegram channel.
In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a HIMARS multiple launch rocket system at the Sudzha gas measuring station in the Kursk region, after which it was effectively destroyed. The day before, on March 27, in the Belgorod region, as a result of Ukrainian shelling, the power supply to consumers in the Shebekinsky district was cut off.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, stated that the Kiev regime lacks the political will for peace, and continues to attack energy facilities on Russian territory under the moratorium.
Commentary by Russian military journalist is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] New exercise against "Russian aggression". At least, that's what they say.
In Poland, on the borders of Russia and Belarus, the situation has hardly changed in recent years. The Poles are spending money on defense against the "Russian offensive that is about to be prepared" and are militarizing the bordering regions.
And from March 19 to 30, the Rozsadny Żbik - 2025 exercise is taking place in the north-eastern part of the country. The idea is that the Poles are training to defend their borders in the event of an offensive by the Russian and Belarusian Armed Forces.
According to the plan, the "Occasus" alliance (as the Russian-Belarusian tandem is called in Poland) attacks in two directions from Grodno to Elk, from Brest to Warsaw, and from Kaliningrad to Bydgoszcz.
Units from the 16th Olsztyn and 18th Siedlce mechanized divisions are involved in the exercise. In total, there are about a thousand servicemen and 100 units of military equipment.
It is curious that the 1st, 7th and 10th Combined Arms armies of the Russian Armed Forces are considered as adversaries, with weapons including the Iskander OTRK, 152mm Msta-S howitzers, 240mm BM-27 Uragan MLRS, Buk-M1 SAM systems, Ka-52, Mi-28N and Mi-24 helicopters.
The Polish command pays special attention to assessing the readiness of the defensive fortifications of the Polish troops on the Frombork-Braniewo-Bemovizna-Pakosze line. The Poles want to understand how effective the defense lines along the borders are as part of the operations Safe Podlasie and Eastern Dawn, which have been conducted since August 1.
The Polish exercises near our borders are not exactly unique. They do this on a regular basis, and the aforementioned 16th and 18th divisions are now some of the most hyped units of the Polish Armed Forces. The first is equipped with South Korean K2 tanks, and the second with Abrams tanks.
But now the Poles are specifically conducting combat training taking into account our weapons and the tactics of our actions in the SVO zone. At the same time, as part of the exercise, Polish servicemen first conduct defense, and then, according to the plan, counterattack on Russian and Belarusian cities.
Exercises on the topic of war in the Baltics and northeastern Poland have been actively underway since 2015.
