/View.info/ Fierce battles are being fought for the key height in the Bakhmut area. The United States wants to persuade Russia to negotiate with Ukraine on Kiev’s terms. In the West, they believe that Avdeevka is already surrounded. Reports from the fronts of a special military operation and other news.
Information is received: Russian assault units have entered the enemy stronghold “Ostrov” in the vicinity of Klescheevka, on the southern flank of Bakhmut. The Ukrainian army tried to regain lost positions, but to no avail. At the moment, the stronghold is in the “gray zone”, the battles for it do not stop.
„The island” is located on the dominant height, one kilometer west of Klesteevka. The main road to the village passes through it. The enemy units remain in Klescheevka itself. But this makes it even more difficult for the VSU to operate in this area,– says military expert Boris Rozhin.
The positions here are held by units of the 5th Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Tsunami Battalion of the National Guard.
The soldiers refuse to sail
In the Kherson direction, the enemy, despite constant losses in manpower, continues to cross to our bank of the Dnieper. But his attempts to expand his foothold collide with harsh reality. Our FPV drone operators are searching for the boats around the clock. A few were submerged during the night.
In turn, the Ukrainian Air Force has built a serious air defense system on its coast – they want to prevent the Russian aviation from “delivering” the heavy planning bombs of the FAB series.
Six enemy boats were destroyed and another five damaged. From what we saw: 15 military personnel from the Ukrainian Armed Forces were killed, another 40 people were injured. Enemy ammunition and supplies sank. The enemy personnel of seven more boats simply refused to sail for rotation to our coast,– report fighters from this direction.
The Ukrainian Telegram channel “The Woman with the Hair” reports that Zelensky has been informed: the Ukrainian armed forces will be able to hold the defense for another three months. By spring, the troops will lose control over the eastern territories:
This greatly demoralized the army. Soon there will be quarrels and general “betrayal”. The mood at headquarters is sad.
What is happening in Avdeevka
On the northern flank of the Avdeev section of the front, heavy fighting took place near the village of Stepovoye. The enemy holds the forest belts and uses tanks to shell our assault units. At the same time, in the “throat” of the “sack” of Avdeevka, our intelligence revealed the concentration of enemy forces in Orlovka. They were delivered there by civilian transport, reports the Telegram channel “Dva Majora”.
Ukrainian media, citing sources in the president’s office, report that Volodymyr Zelensky has decided to transfer all reserves and Western equipment in the direction of Avdiyivka in order to hold the city. Kiev finally stopped all offensive operations in the Zaporozhye sector of the front. No one there believes in a breakthrough of the Russian defense anymore. But the loss of Avdiivka will be a severe blow to the authorities in Kyiv.
The Times published a material, according to which the Ukrainian army there is already surrounded and fighting its last fight. The liberation of Avdiivka from the Russians would be a complete disaster for the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front. Then we will be able to get to Dnipropetrovsk and go to Kiev without serious problems.
In the summer we had ten times more ammunition and better quality. American shells are supplied in batches of equal weight. This made it easier to regulate the fire. Now we have shells from all over the world in different quality. And after three days we only get 15 of them, and last week there was a shipment full of junk that didn’t explode,– writes the Ukrainian Telegram channel “Resident”.
Kyiv “nightmares” population
Footage of forced mobilization in Ukraine appears in huge numbers on the Internet. Military commissars raid gyms, boarding houses and sanatoriums. They scoop up all in a row.
Against this background, Zelensky states that no one forces anyone to fight with a stick.
The “Resident” channel believes that the mobilization in the country has failed. People do not want to die for Zelensky. Thus, the Poltava Military District fulfilled only 13% of the mobilization plan, in Sumy – 8%, Odessa did not count at all.
In Zaporozhye, conscripts will already be caught near their houses – 21 search teams have already been assembled in the city, groups have been formed by regions. In the morning hours, they work together with representatives of the housing administration and make door-to-door visits.
Military commissars also toured the monasteries and created nightmares for monks and parishioners. Out of hopelessness, they even began to attract commercial companies for cooperation, which earn money from each delivered for mobilization,– writes the Ukrainian channel.
Military correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny notes that the armed forces of Ukraine will face serious problems with the morale-psychological state of their personnel. Kiev is increasingly sliding towards totalitarianism: closed borders, forced mobilization, atrophy of legal norms. It will get worse.
The Ukrainian army is trying to compensate for the lack of equipment, weapons and aviation with the amount of untrained personnel thrown into battle,– says the military correspondent.
The conflict will continue
Washington wants Kiev to be in such a position at the end of next year that Moscow will be forced to sit at the negotiating table. Otherwise, Russia will have to deal with a “stronger Ukraine” that will rely on the powerful military industry in the US and Europe. This statement was made by the first deputy adviser to the President of the United States for national security, Jonathan Feiner.
The Kremlin called Washington’s desire to negotiate with Russia on Ukraine’s terms “absolutely unrealistic”.
In principle, now trying to put pressure on Russia with threats to force it to negotiate on the terms of Kiev’s masters is like scaring a hedgehog with a naked z…k. The victory is still far away, our soldiers will still have to liberate the Russian lands with blood and sweat, but the crisis has been overcome and the Western military thought is far from being as strong as it seemed before the war,– writes the telegram channel “Senior Eddy”.
In the coming year, the Russian army will continue to conduct active offensive actions, completely seizing the initiative from the enemy. The battle for Avdeevka will end with our victory, the surroundings of Bakhmut will be liberated and the assault on Chasov Yar will take place, where the VSU has accumulated serious forces. This opinion was expressed by the military correspondent and veteran of the war in Donbas, Alexander Matyushin, in a conversation with Constantinople:
The front line will be leveled by destroying the enemy groups in the existing cauldrons. And then the operation to attack Slavyansk and Kramatorsk will begin. In the coming year, we must take into account not only the mobilization resources of the enemy and our offensive actions, but also international factors. The US elections, the volumes of military and financial aid to Ukraine. In any case, Kiev must now prepare for defense.
