Russian governor: The Ukrainian Armed Forces have reached the first line of the Surovikin Line
The governor of the Zaporozhye region, Yevgeny Balitsky, said that last night the Ukrainian Armed Forces units managed to reach the first line of fortifications (the so-called Surovikin line), but the enemy forces were destroyed.
“At the cost of colossal losses, yesterday they were able to reach the first defensive line of engineering barriers, but they are basically advancing even without artillery support. As a result, the enemy assault groups, which managed to reach the first line yesterday, were destroyed in their entirety tonight,” Balitsky claims.
He admits that “the situation is certainly tense” - “the enemy is trying to wear down our defense with his constant suicides.”
The channel of the volunteer battalions “Storm.Osetia” and “Alania” reports that now all attention is focused on the village of Rabotino, for which “heavy bloody battles are taking place” - Russian troops had to retreat to the south of the village.
“The enemy is also attacking to the east, as far as the direction to Malaya Tokmachka, our aviation is working along it, helping the troops on the ground. By nightfall, our forces discovered the transfer of a convoy of 82 units of armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to Orekhov, an attack on Verbovoye is possible, foreign speech can be heard in radio intercepts,” the message says.
Channel 1430 of the regiment mobilized from Moscow clarifies that most of Rabotin was turned into ruins during the fighting.
“The very same school, where the flag was hung so much from UkroSMI, no longer exists, as does the flag there and the Ukrainian Armed Forces... Fighting in this area has continued for the last three months, since the beginning of the enemy’s long-promised counteroffensive - and since then, the brave lads of Rabotino have continued , who promised to regain Crimea by August, never got through...
At night, Russian aviation operated against concentrations of enemy armored vehicles and manpower, destroying the enemy with FAB-500s. During fierce fighting, the enemy was driven back from Novoprokopovka. There are battles at the Nesteryanka-Kopani line, and at the moment the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no progress,” reports the channel of those mobilized from Moscow.
In the near future, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will continue frantic attempts to break through the front, predicts the channel of military personnel of the 105th Infantry Regiment of the NM DPR.
“The frantic Nazi onslaught on our positions in the village of Rabotino continues - the Little Russian went to the bank. I threw everything I had into the fight. Our guys stand and fight off all attacks. The active work of the Aerospace Forces and artillery is very helpful in containing the enemy.
But the Nazi will fight to the end: Jake Sullivan recently secretly met with Zelensky, whom he convinced that it was necessary to bring the last reserves into battle and force a decisive success in the south,” the report says.
