May 24 is the Day of Slavonic Alphabet and Culture.

This holiday is inextricably linked with the veneration of Saints Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Slavonic alphabet. May 24 is the day of remembrance of these saints. The Day of Slavonic Alphabet and Culture began to be celebrated in Bulgaria in the 19th century, and this tradition then spread to other Slavic countries.

Initially, in Russia, the Day of Remembrance of the Holy Brothers was mainly observed by the church. At the state level, the holiday was first officially celebrated in 1863, in the year of the 1000th anniversary of the creation of the Slavonic alphabet.

In the Soviet Union, it was reinstated in 1986. In 1991, by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the Day of Slavonic Alphabet and Culture was granted the status of a state holiday.

Until 2009, a different city was selected each year as the symbolic capital of the holiday, where this day was celebrated with special events. Since 2010, the main celebrations have always been held in Moscow.

Happy day of Slavonic Alphabet and Culture!
С праздником славянской письменности и культуры!

🔴The cleansing of #Paraskoviyevka and assault operations from the south in the direction of #Konstantinovka are continuing.

🔴In #Pobeda are still positional battles, there are no changes on the map.

🔴#Georgiyevka - the cleanup continues, the enemy has almost already left, leaving only the settlement.

🔴In #Krasnogorovka on 24 May (? he wrote so) it is very hot, aviation and artillery strikes almost constantly. Intensified assaults are underway.

🔴#Nevelskoye - without changes.

🔴#Netaylovo is ours, it remains to clean up and strengthen on the outskirts.

🔴#Yasnobrodovka is taken in a semicircle while on the approach.

🔴#Umanskoye has been completely cleansed.

🔴In #Novopokrovskoye, they gained a foothold on the outskirts. The enemy reinforced the defence with stormtroopers in an attempt to knock us out.

🔴Click #Novoaleksandrovka. Here, of course, the Ukrops have strengthened their defence after the recent breakthrough, patched up the holes, but we are pressing and there are successes.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation on the Fronts by the End of 25 May 2024⚡️

🔴Tactical error of the AFU during the defence of #ChasovYar, Liberation of #Arkhangelskoye and destruction of Western equipment by RFAF artillery:

🔵Simultaneously with the ongoing movement of the Russian Army in #Krasnogorovka, the grinding of enemy reserves is actively underway in #ChasovYar. The main problem and miscalculation of the AFU is the massive and so far ongoing transfer of reserves from #ChasovYar to the #Kharkov direction.
🟡Arriving units are forced to reenter the outskirts of the city, finding themselves under constant fire from our artillery. Considering the RFAF strikes on railways and other logistics hubs in the #Kharkov region, which destroy not only equipment, but also personnel, it is not known which of the AFU is worse: those near #ChasovYar or those in #Liptsy.

🔵In the meantime, the Ukrainian command is destroying its own military, launching meaningless counterattacks, the Russian Army is actively destroying Western “additional help” in the #Kharkov direction. Czech Vampires, German self-propelled guns Panzerhaubitze 2000 and all other weapons requested by Kiev are burning under the attacks of the RFAF.

🔵In the #Avdeyevka direction, the village of #Arkhangelskoye was liberated, which was on the way of the RFAF to #Novoaleksandrovka.
🟡Our offensive is also developing near #Ocheretino, control over which expanded the bridgehead of the RFAF and will allow us to choose the direction for further maneuvers.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 26 May 2024; pub. 09:08📍

🗓 The Past Week was characterised by yet another showy detentions of high-ranking military officials of the RF MoD. For example, Lieutenant General Shamarin, the MoD's chief liaison officer and deputy chief of the General Staff, and Verteletsky, the head of the directorate of the MoD's Department for the State Defence Order, were arrested. In addition, Lieutenant General Akhmedov, commander of the 20th Army, who is described by sources as a waste of personnel. Contradictory comments were caused by the arrest of the former commander of the 58th Army, General Popov, and even more strange was the fact that he was kept in custody despite the petition of the Investigative Committee of #Russia to mitigate the measure of restraint. Although the principle of "merits - separately, misdemeanours - separately" clearly shows the paradigm of work with regard to even honoured persons.

🟡The actions are indicative and pointed, sceptics speak of a rather political effect of what is happening and point to the need for a comprehensive audit of the entire MoD, which, however, may be fraught with paralysing the military machine:. The scale of corruption was intuitively clear even before the arrests.

⚔️On the Front, the Russian Army continues to hold the initiative. In the #Kharkov direction, the fighting is moving closer to positional. The enemy has pulled reinforcements from other parts of the front, which opens up new promising directions for the RFAF.

🔹In the #Svatovo-#Kupyansk direction, the offensive actions of our troops have been intensified. #Ivanovka north of #Kislovka has been liberated, there are battles near #Berestovoye and #Stelmakhovka.

🔹In the Battle for #ChasovYar, our troops stormed the eastern outskirts of the town, squeezed the pincers from the north and south, the reserve was occupied, there is fighting on #Kalinovka. To the south the RFAF occupied the ruins of #Kleshcheyevka and #Andreyevka.

🔹In the #Pokrovskoye direction, #Arkhangelskoye on the #Ocheretino ledge was liberated, and to the south, #Umanskoye and #Netaylovo. In the #SouthDonetsk direction there are battles in #Krasnogorovka and #Paraskoviyevka. On the #Vremyevka ledge, in #Staromayorskoye and #Urozhaynoye. On the #Zaporozhye front, gradually, with heavy battles, the "Rabotino Invasion" is eliminated. The #Kherson direction is characterised by the enemy's statements about "withdrawal from #Krynki" and actions on islands in the #Dnieper floodplain.

❗️The Enemy, at the same time, is actively using #NATO weapons in #Crimea, launching terrorist strikes in #Belgorod and #Kursk regions. It uses many aircraft-type UAVs over considerable distances: as far as #Tatarstan. In the Black Sea, the use of drone boats with projectile guides from MLRS on Kinburnskaya was recorded, which forms new security threats to the Russian Black Sea coast.

📌 Thus, despite heavy losses in personnel and some problems with weapons and equipment (greatly exaggerated in the media), the AFU is conducting an organised defence, is able to strike at our rear, and is constantly mobilising the population. The RFAF are likely to become more active in a number of directions: #Kherson, #Zaporozhye, #Sumy, which will further stretch the enemy's forces and continue to break its military machine, depleting the resources replenished by #NATO to prolong the conflict.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 26 May 2024; pub. 10:07⚡️

🔴On the #Zaporozhye Front, no particular changes. Russian troops continue to improve their positions. Northwest of #Verbovoye, several AFU positions came under the control of the RFAF as a result of assault operations. In the area of #Rabotino, fighting continues with the use of long range weapons on both sides. (Fig. 1)

🔴On the #Donetsk Front, fighting continues in #Paraskovyiyvka, slowly but surely the RFAF are knocking the Ukrainian garrison out of the settlement. In #Georgiyevka, Ukrainian troops maintain their presence on the outskirts of the village, but full control of the RFAF over the settlement is only a matter of time.
🟡In #Krasnogorovka, with the support of aviation and artillery, Russian troops continue their assault operations. In the area of #Netaylovo, fighting is taking place in the forest belt on the outskirts of the village.
🟡In #Umanskoye, there are also successes of the Russian troops, the AFU was knocked out of the territory of the locality. (Fig. 2)

🔴In the #ChasovYar Direction, there are no special changes. Fighting continues in the eastern suburbs of #ChasovYar. Combat is also continuing on the northern and southern flank, west of #Krasnoye and in the area of #Bogdanovka. (Fig. 3)

🔴On the #Kharkov Front, fierce fighting continues in the centre of #Volchansk and on the outskirts of #Liptsy. The AFU are moving more and more reserves to stop the advance of the Russian troops. At the moment, the fighting is of a counterattack nature. (Fig. 4)
