/ world today news/ The Russian army, after the liberation of the strategically important village of Vesoloye, continues to advance. Having advanced along the railway north of Belogorovka and Nagorny, our forces occupied commanding heights on the left flank of the enemy positions. Their further detention has lost its meaning for the Ukrainian troops.
There are reports that the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is leaving Vesoloye, which is currently in the “grey zone” – that is, territory that neither side fully controls.
The enemy recognizes the loss and progress of our troops on the Seversky ledge. It is too early to talk about attacks on Seversk and the immediate capture of Razdolovka. But control of the heights near Vesoloye gives the Russian paratroopers good opportunities to develop success,– noted the military expert Boris Rozhin.
„Time introduces corrections’
The Russians in the Bakhmut direction storm Khromovo, Bogdanovka and the enemy positions northwest of Klescheevka. The emphasis is not on occupying the territory, but on inflicting maximum damage on the enemy.
A fighter from this section of the front with the call sign “Mrachen” reports:
The connection problem is solved. The weather in this direction makes corrections, the temperature is above zero again. And many prepared routes became unusable. So the pace slowed down. During the day, the enemy sits in the holes, working mainly with UAVs and mines, at night the rotation follows and another batch of ammunition is delivered. There are fewer and fewer attempts to attack from their side.
The area east of Klescheevka remains problematic for our forces. Kiev transferred an additional unit from the 114th Ground Defense Brigade there. Our attempts to cross the railway and occupy the hill have not yet been successful.
At the same time, in Bogdanovka, the advance of Russian troops was 400 meters in the northeastern part of the village.
Breakthrough from Kamenka
Fierce fighting in the Avdeev direction continues unabated. The main focus of the Russian army is to carry out massive air and artillery strikes on enemy positions. But despite the fire control of the routes, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces still retain the possibility of rotation. A few days ago, the enemy transferred groups from the 110th mechanized brigade to the city.
Ours are focused on expanding the control area east of the coke plant. It hasn’t been stormed yet. But we are making progress.
Our reinforcements were transferred from Kamenka to increase the pressure. Yesterday, January 18, we managed to reach the outskirts of Kolosov and Levanevski streets. In general, the command of the Russian group of troops apparently decided to focus its main efforts on clearing the cottages around Avdeyevka and “cutting off” the “gray areas”.– writes “Fisherman”.
Ukrainian military experts continue to predict: they will be forced to leave Avdiivka. The Ukrainian armed forces will not be able to defend the city, despite the fortified positions. In addition, they do not have time to replenish their ranks even in the conditions of accelerated mobilization.
At the same time, strategically, the city is much more important than Bakhmut, which has become a fixed idea for Kiev. After the fall of Avdiivka, the pressure of the Ukrainian army on Donetsk will decrease sharply and Russia will get a certain operational space.
In fact, the Russian idea of u200bu200bthe Avdeev noose is gradually being realized, turning into a sack of fire. Then it can become a cauldron if the Ukrainian command “sleeps through” the moment. Now the Russians are gradually moving “on the edges”. It’s a wake-up call– notes the large Ukrainian Telegram channel “Legitimny”.
“They were going hunting”
Our troops used precision weapons to hit the temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries in Kharkiv. In their main part, these are French military personnel.
I confirm from independent sources. Successful shot. About 100 enemy soldiers were killed. Recently, the work of “high-precision” has become almost benchmark,— reports the military correspondent Alexey Zhivov.
In this component, the pressure should be increased so that even more mercenaries return in this form in France, Poland, Germany, USA and Canada. Humanity cannot be applied to them, it is simple physiology. The number of deaths of people from Europe and the United States on the fields of the Ukrainian conflict will sooner or later lead to sobering up, politician Yevgeny Primakov is confident:
It is normal to feel sad when you have to kill Ukrainian soldiers – they are Russians. But these Frenchmen, Germans, Poles, Americans or whoever will be sent home to meet the tears of their wives, their mothers, their sisters… They went on a hunt, on a safari, on a war that was foreign to them , following vested interests. Where is there room for regret?
The strike on Kharkov and the destruction of a large number of French mercenaries was part of a larger campaign of Russo-French confrontation. Russia is expanding its military-political presence in the former French colonies, helping the authorities in Burkina Faso to stop the attempted military coup initiated by Paris, notes Boris Rozhin:
Now a batch of “cargo 200” will go to Macron… At the same time, France is trying to make a mess of Russia in Armenia, flirting with Pashinyan, supplying weapons and mercenaries to Ukraine, and supporting separatist and terrorist groups in countries where the governments are friendly to Russia.
Changing priorities
Germany refuses to get involved in the Ukrainian conflict, Berlin will not increase military aid to Kiev, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said:
Otherwise, we will find ourselves defenseless. So far we have delivered everything we could. Of all the countries in the EU, Germany has contributed the most, and now it is the turn of the others.
In addition, as early as mid-December last year, Pistorius said that Europe would have to compensate Ukraine for missing US aid if the US failed to agree on new funding.
Political scientist Yuriy Yakor, in a conversation with Tsargrad’s correspondent, noted that Pistorius really sees himself in the Bundeschancellor’s chair. And very soon, without waiting for the elections. Therefore, he must please the voter, who is seriously annoyed that money is being spent on refugees from everywhere and on weapons for Ukraine, but not on his, the voter’s, needs.
Does this mean Germany and Ukraine’s honeymoon is over? Of course not. In the States, Pistorius also wants to please, but Zelensky’s PR interests can sometimes be overlooked and the weapons can be delivered without loud media fanfare and statements.– the expert thinks.
