Bakhmut meat grinder, Zaporozhye massacre, to the last Ukrainian.
Ukraine is stepping up the pace of its counter-offensive after months of slow progress.
It is reported by CNN.
According to American journalists, Ukraine has deployed additional forces to the southeast of the country, which is a sign that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have discovered potential weaknesses in Russian defense lines.

The Nigerien Coup Could Be A Game-Changer In The New Cold War
It’s too early to tell whether the Nigerien junta is multipolar like its neighbors or if it’ll be co-opted by the West to function as a new face for their neo-imperialist system there, but it would be a game-changer in the New Cold War’s African front if…

Situation on Zaporizhia front: Ukrainian Army secured more areas north of Robotyne/Роботине previously abandoned by Russian Army. However, further attacks launched during the last hours were completely repelled. The significant number of troops used by Ukrainian forces in the last attacks suggested that the second phase of the spring/summer counteroffensive has already started of is about to start. Despite these attempts were not successful the grey zone continues to increase which should be taken by Russian side with concern due to the possibility of an break of the defense lines in this axis, everyday more elongated.

The situation in the Bakhmut direction on 27.07.23⚡️
A difficult situation has developed in the south of Bakhmut. To date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have chosen this area as one of the main directions for attack.
The intensity of the battles is very high. Artillery is constantly working, both ours and the enemy. The enemy is laying, including mainly, cluster munitions, having a small but advantage. It also helps that the dominant heights are mostly behind him.
Detachments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to enter Kleshcheevka and gain a foothold on its outskirts. At the same time, forest plantations in the vicinity of the village are literally littered with the bodies of the enemy, our guys are fighting for every meter.
The darkest news comes from Andreevka, south of Kleshcheevka. Fierce battles are also going on for Andreevka. But, even when withdrawing from positions, our troops will obviously make attempts to return to them at the first opportunity.
Kurdyumovka is under our control. Enemy artillery is also constantly working here and mobile groups are trying to penetrate the village two or three times a day - we are repulsing it. In addition to the already familiar Poles, French mercenaries were also seen near Kurdyumovka.

⚡️ According to preliminary data, an armored vehicle repair shop was hit at Zaporozhstal.
According to the Military Chronicle, the repair plant was equipped in the workshop for the maintenance of locomotives and wagons on the territory of the Zaporizhstal plant. Presumably, tanks and other armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived there from the Zaporozhye and Kherson directions.

Section Svatovo-Kremenskoy, direction Borovaya.
Today the main efforts of our army were aimed at advancing west of the village of Nadiya.
There is progress and it was more than a kilometer - now in this area we have reached the border of the LPR and the Kharkov region.
At the moment, the enemy is trying in every possible way to stabilize the situation, throwing a frantic amount of reserves into the nearest meat grinder.
At the same time, all attempts to stop the advance of our fighters remain unsuccessful.

Our comrade, a front-line soldier, writes to us:
🖋" Briefly about the situation in the Orekhovsky direction in front of Rabotino.
It's no secret to anyone how heavy fighting is currently going on in this area.
The enemy is trying with all his might to make a breach in this direction in order to get to the Melitopol-Chongar-Dzhankoy highway, but so far without success.
In a couple of days, the enemy lost more than 30 pieces of equipment, not to mention losses in personnel.
▪️I will tell you through the eyes of the artillery of this direction, which is held by one of the best and combat divisions of the army, the howitzer division of the 71st regiment.
From the first days of the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Rabotino-Verbovoye sector, this division stood rooted to the spot, not allowing the enemy to pass even a single step, while pointwise breaking any enemy equipment and infantry.
For two months there were a huge number of counter-battery battles with similar enemy guns, in which he did not win a single victory.
The enemy opposed our Msta-b 2a65, the American M-777 howitzer.
Due to the impossibility of winning the artillery duel, the enemy rolled back their guns to a distance of more than 40 km, using the new Excalibur NATO shells. What makes these guns inaccessible to our Msta-b, with a maximum range of 28 km.
But even here, of course, there was a super solution in the form of our heroic Lancets.
Having destroyed all the enemy's howitzers in this area, we began to work out the enemy's equipment.
Speaking today about the situation in this area, the enemy began to use cluster munitions en masse, which did not help him much. Our guns can easily withstand these cassettes without causing much damage.
But the enemy today went even further and began to use American Himars against howitzers, which is actually a problem for any kind of equipment and shelters.
Watching these actions of the enemy, I want to say that these are extreme desperate steps to break through our defenses.
Our guys are in fighting spirit and keep full throttle, and anyone who tries to break through will find refuge among the hundreds of dead and lying in the fields in front of Rabotino of their brothers."

🖋"Кратко о ситуации на Ореховском направлении перед н.п Работино.
Ни для кого не секрет, какие на данный момент идут тяжёлые бои на этом участке.
Противник пытается всеми силами пробить брешь на этом направлении дабы пройти на трассу Мелитополь-Чонгар-Джанкой, но пока безуспешно.
За пару дней враг потерял белее 30-ти единиц техники, не говоря о потерях в личном составе.
▪️Расскажу глазами артиллерии данного направления, которое держит один из лучших и боевых дивизионов армии, гаубичный дивизион 71 полка.
С первых дней контрнаступления ВСУ на участке Работино-Вербовое этот дивизион стоит как вкопанный, не давая пройти врагу ни на шаг, при этом точечно переламывая любую технику и пехоту противника.
За два месяца было огромное количество контрбатарейных битв с аналогичными орудиями врага, в которых он не одержал ни одной победы.
Враг противопоставил нашему Мста-б 2а65, американскую гаубицу М-777.
Ввиду невозможности выиграть артдуэль, враг откатил свои орудия на дистанцию более 40-ка км, используя новые натовские снаряды Экскалибур. Что делает эти орудия недосягаемыми для нашего Мста-б, с максимальной дальностью 28км.
Но и тут, конечно же, нашлось супер решение в виде наших героических Ланцетов.
Уничтожив все гаубицы врага на данном участке, мы начали отрабатывать технику противника.
Говоря сегодняшним днём и о ситуации на этом участке, враг начал массово применять кассетные боеприпасы, что не сильно-то ему и помогло. Наши орудия с лёгкостью выдерживают эти кассеты не причиняя особого урона.
Но враг сегодня пошёл ещё дальше и начал применять против гаубиц, американские Химарсы, что на самом деле является проблемой для любого вида техники и укрытий.
Наблюдая за этими действиями врага хочется сказать, что это крайние отчаянные шаги, чтобы прорвать нашу оборону.
Наши парни на боевом духу и держат полный газ, и любой кто будет пытаться прорваться найдёт себе пристанище среди сотен погибших и лежащих на полях перед Работино своих побратимов."

The enemy has taken Staromayorskoye, threatening to occupy Urozhaynoye and continue to break through the front.
▪️ Today A. Khodakovsky, deputy head of the Russian Guardia in the DPR, has already reported that the AFU, taking advantage of the advantage in range and artillery, have recently been methodically rolling up Staromayorskoye, knocking our fighters out of their shelters and turning those shelters into piles of broken bricks. Then the AFU launched an offensive, clung to the outskirts and gradually pushed us back, creating a flank threat to Urozhaynoye.
▪️ The enemy "ducked into the sack, swapping roles with us, but the loss of the settlement after a stubborn and no doubt heroic defence is a blow to our military ego. Not to sweeten the pill, but purely from rational considerations I will say: now the enemy in the ruins will be very unpleasant", - summarised Khodakovsky.
➨ At the same time, enemy resources report that fighting in the area of the village of Staromayorskoye continues - west and north-east of it. The situation in the area is dynamic, as the flank of the village of Urozhaynoye is opening for the AFU, so the Russian army is launching counterattacks in several directions.
➨ There are also reports of fighting north-east of the village of Urozhaynoye.

🔸Frontabschnitt Svatovo- Kremenaja- Kupjansk: Die Kampfinitiative befindet sich vollständig bei russischen Streitkräften, die immer weiter vorstoßen. Die Versuche seitens der ukrainischen Streitkräfte, diesen Vorstoß aufzuhalten, waren erfolglos und führten zu schweren Verlusten. Die wichtigsten Kämpfe ereignen sich nahe Svatovo, wo die russischen Truppen ihren vorherigen Erfolg weiterentwickeln, indem sie den Durchbruch der Verteidigungslinie bei Nowojegorjewka erweitern und ihren Gegner zum Rückzug zwingen. Dabei erreichten sie bereits Grenzen des Charkow' Gebiets und somit die Hauptverteidigungslinie, die sie demnächst zu sprengen versuchen werden.
🔸Nahe Liman versuchen die russischen Truppen die Voraussetzungen für einen weiteren Vorstoß zu schaffen.
🔸Frontabschnitt Artjomowsk: Nahe Kleschejewka und Andrejewka ereignen sich schwere Begegnungskämpfe seit mehreren Tagen.
🔸Frontabschnitt Awdejewka: im Vergleich zu den oben genannten Teilen der Frontlinie sind die Kämpfe eher mäßig.
🔸Ganz heftige Kämpfe finden darüber hinaus am Frontabschnitt Zaporoschje statt.Die Ukrainer verüben zurzeit einen massiven Angriff gleichzeitig in drei Richtungen.
🔸Nahe Rabotino konnten sie mit schweren personellen und technischen Verlusten einige russische Stellungen einnehmen und die Ortschaft Pyatihatki wieder besetzen.
🔸Bei Welika Nowoselka gelang den ukrainischen Truppen die Einnahme der Ortschaft Staromajorskoje und sie versuchen nun mal weiter in die Richtung der Ortschaft Uroschajnoje vorzustossen.
🔸Man kann davon ausgehen, dass die nächste Phase der ukrainische Gegenoffensive begonnen hat.
🔸In der Nacht versuchten die Luftstreitkräfte Russlands Schläge auf Militärflughäfen mit dem Ziel zu verüben, Träger der Storm Shadow Raketen zu vernichten. Ob diese Schläge erfolgreich waren, ist noch nicht bekannt.

❗️Updates on the situation in the Zaporozhye and South Donetsk directions.
▪️In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy continues to conduct offensive operations northeast of Rabotino. At about 12.15 they attacked with forces of up to two platoons. As a result of the battle, he lost his personnel and one BMP, after which he retired. At around 1:50 p.m., the enemy delivered up to 60 people on six infantry fighting vehicles, and a little later hired additional reserves. The fights continue. The estimated losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine today are almost 100 people, two tanks, 15 infantry fighting vehicles and two armored personnel carriers.
▪️In the Vremevsky direction, the enemy concentrated their forces on storming the positions of Russian troops in Staromayorsky. During the day, an attack by forces up to one platoon was repelled, and the actions of two DRGs were also suppressed. An FPV drone hit an enemy armored personnel carrier with a landing force. Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to create conditions for an offensive towards Urozhaynoye - they are rotating and clearing mines. Any advance of enemy tank groups will be stopped by attacks from FPV drones and artillery.
