in positions and your support is very important for us and significantly increases the chance not only to successfully complete the task, but also to return from it alive, so please join the collection, our goal is 4 million uah, you see qr codes, you see numbers accounts, please support, this is a very good brigade, very effective, and this is a really necessary thing that helps the soldiers a lot, well, let's see what... we are now happening at the front, then, well, as always, we will discuss. map of hostilities for the period july 10-17. the russians are in a hurry throw reserves, but do not achieve the desired. active hostilities continued along the entire length of the front, but the toretsk-pokrovsky direction was the most dynamic and threatening for the armed forces. at the same time, it was possible to stabilize the kharkiv, kupyan and liman areas. situation, as

in a time warp. two important processes are taking place at the front simultaneously: on the one hand, the russians have already attracted strategic reserves in many directions, which were prepared for further advance after a breakthrough of the front in one of the areas, but the breakthrough did not happened, and the result must be shown immediately, so they are in a hurry and throw into the crucible of war, not fully prepared reserves, and on the other hand, for the first time in a month and a half, the number of military clashes has decreased. by about 15%, compared to the previous fairly peak week of over 900 engagements, together with the lack of breakthroughs by the zsrf, this indicates the enemy's inability to make any rapid advance, other than squeezing our positions by dropping kabs, on the other hand, probably some of the reserves are still preparing for the offensive at the end july, and now they are choosing the best direction. seversky performance. the front around

siversk greatly troubled the russians for all three years. over the past few weeks, the armed forces of ukraine managed to counterattack in the liman direction and in the serebrian forest. this week, such trends have only deepened, and therefore the occupiers have shifted their emphasis and are trying to advance to siversk from the southern direction, through the villages of vyimka and rozdolivka. the last village that was in the gray zone for a long time. they actually occupied at the end of last week. but strength. defenses continue to hold positions on the outskirts of rozdolivka, another group of enemies is trying to break through the notch, but they have been unsuccessful there for a long time. toretsk trap for the russians. a month after the beginning of the serious offensive on turetsk and new york, we can state the strength of the district in alexandropol, which is now being attacked both from the south and from the east. russia bet on pokrovsky. front. to understand

how much the enemy invests in this direction, you can compare the number of battles with other areas of the front. for example, 59 battles took place as part of the offensive on kupyansk, 61 battles on the front near chasovoy yar, and more than 280 on pokrovsky. the enemy not only attacks along the entire length of this front, but also constantly changes the emphasis of its assaults. in karlivka, the armed forces managed to completely restrain the occupiers. but somewhat further north, the russians were able to make their way even further to yasnobrodivka. currently, it is not known whether the armed forces of ukraine still hold positions in the village, but the armed forces of the russian federation do not fully control it. however, at this moment, the rashists are more focused on storming the last fortified area on the left bank of the river vovcha, novoselivtsi was the first that they surrounded and stormed from three sides. currently, the enemy is 500 m from the eastern outskirts of the village and 150 to 200 m from the northern ones, the situation for the armed forces

here is extremely threatening, although the haste of the enemy, who after the almost complete occupation of yevgenivka advanced to the vovcha river, can play a wicked joke on him, because the rashists also found themselves between two fires, as further north near the progress of the defense forces they were still restrained. it can be stated that in the end, five months after the occupation of avdiyivka, the russians almost it was completely possible to push the armed forces to the left bank of the river. vovcha, where our fortified positions were previously prepared. now only novoselivka the first holds the defense and does not allow the enemy to release resources for redeployment to other areas, for example, toretsk. further north on the pokrovsk front, the occupiers simultaneously continue to implement two plans: first, to cut the pokrovsk-kostyantynivka highway. to do this, they storm vozdvizhenka and lozuvatsky. in a week, the russians managed to break through by several hundred. meters near both villages, but there are worse ones

assaults along the railway track in the direction of the village of progress. here, they can, without forcing the river, pass between two bodies of water, the wolf's mouth and the forked end. and flank the defense forces defending along the riverbeds. however, here the defense forces are currently restraining the occupiers, as well as in the area north of ocheretino. southern front. occupation of urozhany. after several months of assaults , the rashists managed to enter the central part of the village of urozhaine. and the zsu retreated to its northern outskirts. in addition, it allowed the enemy to improve somewhat. positions in the neighboring old mayor on the one hand, the defense forces lost two important villages in the berdyansk direction, which were given to us at a heavy price during last year's counteroffensive. but on the other hand , the occupiers have long been tasked with cutting off this protrusion and conducting a full audit of the results

of the counteroffensive. after six months of active assaults , the enemy managed to level the section of the front between the sheltered and the productive. but 80% of the lands released last summer remain. under the control of the armed forces, similarly, the situation is developing in the tokmat direction, where the defense forces have withdrawn from the robot, but they hold the defense and do not allow the russians to advance further into our territories. we win daily, death to enemies. so this is a very active situation, and oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political observer of the information resistance group, joined us. congratulations oleksandr. congratulations. you know, let's start with something that wasn't on our map, but that is being discussed very actively right now, namely the operation on the left bank of the dnieper and near krynyk, and here it is on the tv, on our airwaves, literally today the spokesman, here in tavria dmytro lykhova said

that the operation on the left bank of the dnieper, namely in the krynok area, is still ongoing, and not only at the bridgeheads nearby. villages, and near the others, although the krynks themselves were completely destroyed by the russians, it is impossible to hold them, well , whether they left the zsu or not, the general staff will still talk about it there, but i am just interested in your opinion, whether you think they have fulfilled or not the positive role of these wells, because well, there were many conversations about maintaining the wells, whether it is worth leaving earlier, or what to do with it, well, that is, such a ... controversial moment actually what do you think about it? for quite a long time, the krynka played the role of fettering, they shackled the enemy, they did not allow the enemy to use the resource that was concentrated precisely in order to

regain control over the krynka, to use it in some other direction. when we first started discussing this bridgehead in the media. then the dnipro group of troops, as i recall it now, had 64,000 personnel, that is, the entire left bank of the kherson region was controlled by the vis-dnipro group, and this was their number, and gradually due to problems, including with wells, with bridgeheads, due to the appearance of this information in the information space, its constant citation. as for the wells, even in russian social networks and in this russian propaganda pool, the group of dnipro visas gradually began to increase, and then it was reformed altogether , it was combined with part of the group of troops, the east, and now it

simultaneously controls kherson oblast and part of zaporizhzhia oblast, that is, it is a large mechanism that... was formed precisely during this period until kryna was under the control of the defense forces of ukraine, and they stimulated these processes, and now let's imagine that there would be no krinks, there would be no bridgeheads on the left bank, and then the russian command would have the opportunity to develop a scenario similar to krinks and other bridgeheads on the left bank, already on right-bankers, that is, we... saw constant amphibious operations on the right bank of the expansion of the right near the right on the right bank of control by the russian occupiers, or this resource would not have been concentrated on constant attacks and assaults in the front, namely krynok, because

well, let's say it as it is, three tactical groups tried all this time to neutralize this plot, three tactical groups, and nothing worked. let's imagine that these units, they were somewhere in another direction, or they took part in the offensive at the time of yar, or they would take part now in the battles in the turkish direction. or on some other, even in the zaporizhzhya region along the wet fields in the vromivsk direction, this is the old mayo harvest, then the old mayo harvest is fruitful, they would have been captured by the enemy much earlier than now, and the same with the robot line, if there were, let's say, plus 60 thousand personnel, then the robot line would not only be cut, but there would also be a threat to the orichov direction , so... it would open again after all, the orihiv direction, and therefore krynka, they fulfilled their

role, but the most important thing is that even now, when our units were withdrawn from them, the russians do not control them, this is a gray area, they are trying to present it as some kind of epic victory, but they don't actually control this area, it's completely destroyed, there is not a single healthy building there, there are only ruins, there is no... it is possible to gain a foothold, it is impossible to equip your positions there, and this area is completely destroyed, like a clear field, in general, it is still there, well, relatively speaking, not so , so that the lowland, but it is not, they have less height than on the right bank, on the right bank of the kherson region, these are the dominant heights, and they are there like in the palm of your hand, they try time to... go there, but they cannot, they are there destroyed, they are in the forest between the wells and highway 2206, but also

we know that they are there, and we are constantly inflicting fire damage on their positions, so they cannot leave the forest either, because they have this fear that we can use this bridgehead to land an amphibious assault and advance deep into the kherson region , they... still preserve such a phobia, and that is why they keep their personnel there, and now this personnel is being methodically destroyed, and every morning in the report of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, we see 1,100-1,200 occupiers there , who were destroyed during the day, in this number there is also the number of those who continue to be destroyed near the wells. despite the fact that there is no one in the caves themselves, well, that is, you do not think, as i

see it, you underestimate the probability that those forces of the occupiers that are there can be transferred, well, under the same robots, under the same over there productive, there is hardly anyone to transfer there, yes, i understand correctly, and besides wells, they have other problems with bridgeheads, and these are the kherson islands, and this is a problem near... a bare pier, for them there is a dangerous situation there, in fact, if they do not control what is happening there, their attempts to bring nestryga island back under control have ended, well, let's say this, by feeding crayfish, and in general, apart from the kherson islands, apart from the same wells, there are other bridgeheads, about which for... the media do not talk about it and there is no need to talk about it yet,

but there are locations where we keep control over this or that part of the left bank of the kherson region, and therefore it is enough to take, well, what you said about the robots, but yes, that they can redeploy, quite possibly some part of the units, for example, when offensive actions began in the kharkiv region, already in may they were on... at the end of may they were engaged in redeploying part of the units of the 810th separate brigade of marines, which operated just in the krynk region, and the 61st the obrmp, which was operating precisely in nestryga, were partially redeployed to the belgorod region, this was together with other units that were sent from other directions to support the group of troops north, so these are quite possible, but it will not be critical such reinforcement there for 15-20 thousand, no,

they cannot afford it. the left bank continues to constrain the serious russian potential of the dnipro troop group, which, by the way, i now count, after all the reinforcements, after all the reforms, and the merger with another troop group, it is somewhere around 120 thousand. now they have personnel, this is such a large array for the left-bank kherson region, kherson region and part of zaporizhzhia region, and it is interesting because it is possible. considered in principle as such a reserve that can still be applied, because there are at least several, well, areas where an even greater intensification of hostilities is expected, well, first of all, this is the kharkiv direction, for some time there, well, as if the russians did not manage to advance, they were forced

to withdraw, and so right now in kharkiv we are informed that the occupiers are regrouping and preparing in principle for... new assaults and, well , they are literally trying new positions to carry out assault actions in the area of ​​the settlement of hlyboke, and are also preparing assault groups for new attacks on vovchansk, and interestingly, this is one such direction, and there is also the turkish and pokrovsky direction, where you can also expect the use of some reserves. let's start, i guess, with this, what is kharkiv, what... there may be new actions or some new problems, if there are new attempts at assaults, then what form can it take? well, the russian command has been worried about the deep one for a long time, because this is a small village, it was initially the main, main location for

conducting offensive actions on lypka, but the defense forces of ukraine they... systemically counterattacked precisely on these positions, and the russians lost control over most of the positions they occupied to the south of hlyboki, and then also from the western part. deep time now gradually finds itself in such a partial, not so much as surrounded, but uncomfortable position, when the russians can only defend there along the northern and northern outskirts of the village itself, and therefore... regrouping with the aim of fully returning it to their control for further development events in the direction of nalypka, well , logically, but do they have such an opportunity with taking into account the fact that, in principle, the same group of troops is operating on vovchansk, and they lack the resources to fully conduct a general military operation in

any of these directions. it is necessary to concentrate on some one direction, if you think logically about it. then here is the next option: yes, indeed, they can now resume more intensive combat operations, especially since vovchansk itself is completely almost destroyed, they regularly continue to strike with artillery and circular aerial bombs on the very the city, which strengthens their assault actions, but still in the city. urban battles are not so successful for them, therefore, most likely, they can regroup in order to further implement a breakthrough attempt in the direction of bugruvatka-pripka, that is, with the forcing of siverskyi donets and with the west, the western flank, that is, the right flank from

vovchansk, as well as they can break through to the east in the direction of the quiet, and forcing, carrying out the forcing of the wolf, may be a threat to the line of the vovchan villages and zibeny, and that is, they can try to cover, and this, by the way, and they tried to make their enchanting offensive in kharkiv region at the very beginning, and they tried to break through from the very beginning along the directions of the hill country. prilipka, in order to be able to more, let's say, comfortably force the seversky unit, and cover vovchansk, perhaps this is one of their plans to cover both from the left and from the right flank, that is, from the east and from the western part of the city itself , well, that is, bypassing the flanks and this is me, well, do they have

the strength for this now, or do they still have get some then? additional reinforcements for this, it is interesting, of course, they need reinforcements, because with the resources they have as of today, they cannot conduct a successful combined military offensive operation, neither for the polivts nor for the vovchansk, they can with the resources that they have to strengthen assault actions, and continue to maintain the level of intensity of hostilities, but in order to completely close... what about the lypians, what about vovchansk, they are critically short of resources, so they, well, relatively speaking, in order to close this issue, the group of troops north should increase... about two times, interestingly, yes, and at the same time they also have a direction to pokrovsk, which gives such an impression after all, well, from the point

of view , which we heard at the beginning of the program, on such, you know, as the main direction, there are the most combat clashes, there, judging by everything, the largest forces are currently mobilized, and there they have, well, such, well, i would say, the most... can gain advantages if they succeed in some plan, and here too i have such a question, you know, the offensive that is being carried out on turkey, how it is interconnected with what is happening in the direction of pokrovsk, are these interconnected operations, or are they something separate, well, that is, if there will be reinforcements, then to somehow try to understand what the intention might be. and the pokrovsk direction, first of all, it is not so much about pokrovsk, well, this is the most important thing, the pokrovsk direction is primarily about

the creation of the southern face of security for the turkish direction, that is, if we now look at the map of this bridgehead hostilities, we will see that the turkish agglomeration from the south is completely covered. russian control, and for the russians what is the situation now, they will reach livoborizh vovcha to the karliv reservoir, that is , there is no doubt here, the question is when exactly, they have the potential to reach this very river, what will happen next, then they will stop, then they will have a second very important point, this is the cutting of the 05-04 route, and the main... historical artery from pokrovsk to chasiv yar, and not only to chasiv yar, but also to konstantinivka and torets, by the way.

so, these are the main two tasks: the formation of the southern security front and the cutting of the logistical artery, and then the start of the turkish offensive operation. did it happen exactly in this chronology? no. we are now seeing that continue. fulfillment of the first and second tasks, and at the same time they launched another offensive campaign against the turkish agglomeration, but at the same time there is a very important third element, and here we also need to look at the map, and we talked about the southern face of security, and it forms an opportunity precisely stormed turkey from the south, and what until midnight what is located in the north, during the time of yar takostyantynka, ivanovske, kleschivka, andriivka, all of this is under the control of the defense forces of ukraine. the russians have not completed the main task,

the conditions for offensive actions in the turkish agglomeration are fully formed, so they do not have any control over the agglomeration from the north at all, and this is a big problem for them, because... it also eats up a lot of resources, it needs a large amount of resources to continue hostilities in the area of ​​chasovoy yar, to advance along the ivanivske klyshchiivka line, andriyivka, in order to enter the canal, to force the canal, to advance further, a huge resource, which now should, according to logic , be concentrated for further actions precisely on the turkish agglomeration, therefore... here they were significantly ahead of the general implementation of their plan, they tried everything should be done as soon as possible, and the events that are currently taking place

in the naturets agglomeration, yes, they have the potential for advancement, and they will advance in the future, because i will remind you that this is where one of the most combat-ready groups is concentrated today troops russian occupiers, this is not just a group. the south, which is considered one of the most combat-capable, and this is a group of military centers, which concentrated its most combat-capable motorized rifle brigades precisely in the pokrov direction, the 15th, 21st, there, the 30th, 50.5, 74th and so on and so on, and units the 90th tank division, these are the most combat-capable units of the center group, all the others remained in the lyman direction, and therefore the potential there is great. but even today, as we can see, it is not enough, they are starting to slow down, because they decided to do everything at the same time, without completing, let's

say, but... homework, that is, they did not complete, they did not fully form the southern face, they did not cut 05-04, they did not even close to form the northern face, but they started an offensive campaign in the turkish direction, and how it can end for them, they will advance, the main thing here is to understand this, but the price of this advance for the russians will be much more expensive than if they started these offensive actions, having full. all are spoken conditions, well, your colleague kostyantyn mushavyts expressed the following about this, well, his opinion, that here or they have some kind of timing, according to which they have to do something by a certain date, that's why they do it, well, or they hope for some reserves, which no one knows where, no one has seen them, but everyone is talking about them, well, let's see, thank you very much

oleksandr kovalenko, we have to now... go on a break, so please stay with us, we'll be back after the break, and let's continue conversation with another guest. a journalist who joined the armed forces, a political expert who became a special agent, taras berizovets in a new project at espresso. the real front is a thorough analysis of the main events. reports, comments, leading specialists and experts. analytics from the major of the armed forces. how to deal with disturbing news? and distinguish truth from hostile ipso. the real front program with taras berezovets every saturday at 21:30 on espresso. verdict with serhiy rudenko is now in a new two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests: foreign experts, inclusion from abroad. about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and feedback. you can express your opinion on the bad day by phone.
