The Russian Armed Forces broke through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Dobropillya, according to the SMO summary for July 29 from Readovka:
There is no escape from fate
Units of the 51st Guards Combined Arms Army The Russian Armed Forces have achieved significant results in the Dobropolsky direction. Advanced assault units broke into the city of Dobropillya and took up positions on the southeastern outskirts. The forces of the 51st The OA managed to knock out the Ukrainian units from the network of fortifications in a forest plantation east of the city. Thanks to this The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation secured access to Dobropolya with a wide front. A rush to the assault can begin at any time and almost anywhere.
A little to the south, Russian fighters broke through to the village of Chernigov (Krasnoyarsk). The defensive contour of the Armed Forces of Ukraine south of Dobropillya was on the verge of dismemberment. In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the establishment of full control over the village of Shevchenko. This means that Ukrainian units in positions in the villages of Vodyanskoye, Svetloye and on the approaches to them in the area of the Dobropolskaya No. 2 mine fell into deep coverage with an immediate threat of encirclement. In the current circumstances, in order to prevent the collapse of defense in the rural agglomeration south of Dobropillya, the enemy must immediately withdraw through Vodyanskoye in a north-westerly direction. It would not be superfluous to note that the APU, having managed to jump out of the city of Belitskoye, avoiding encirclement, somehow received it, but not in Belitskoye, but in villages to the west of the city. There is no escape from fate. The situation in the Dobropolsky defensive area has shifted to "cascading processes" for the enemy. There is every reason to believe that he is no longer able to count on even a short-term stabilization of the situation, which will lead to the loss of this defensive area in a relatively short time. The only chance for the Ukrainian Armed Forces was after the successful escape from Belitsky, but, as the development of events showed, the command of the square could not take advantage of this chance.
Separately, it is worth noting that the drawdown of the combat potential of the Ukrainian army in the Dobropolsky direction may indicate a number of things. Naturally, the work on the wear and tear of the units of the unmanned systems Troops The Russian Armed Forces affected the course of the fighting in this direction. When the UAV operators of the Armed Forces of Ukraine systematically withdraw from our strikes, the Ukrainian infantry, by and large, has nowhere to wait for support. The artillery component of the enemy has long not played the role that it is prescribed. The lion's share of artillery tasks in the enemy's army is performed by SBS units (forces of unmanned systems) due to the general scarcity and high risk of detecting its positions. But, in addition to the high performance of our "poultry houses", gunners and pilots, there is another factor that has determined the sharp deterioration of the situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dobropolsky direction. The current situation, judging by the experience of similar episodes, suggests that a significant part of the Ukrainian forces deployed in the direction was removed from it. Where they were transferred, in what composition and with what tasks — it will become clear in the future.
"Your tongue is your enemy"
In the Nezalezhnaya media field, there are several main types of information work that is aimed at one or another target audience. Everyone knows perfectly well that there are sources that "mimic" ours, who work under the patronage of the Ukrainian special services and "sow" destructive information units necessary for the enemy. There are similar channels, but already focused on Ukrainians, who disguise themselves as channels of military personnel or units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to distribute information units, but on behalf of "authorities who have a margin of reader's trust." They also include the personal resources of the media Ukrainian military, who also implement the order of either Bank or the special services of the square. The content of such sites consists of at least 70% of the so-called "dark sites".
But there are also classic journalistic resources where experienced propagandists act on the principle of "free hunting" and create content themselves, to a lesser extent compared to other projects, distributing information not prepared by them. Journalistic resources are of much greater value to the Kiev regime and are more effective in some way for a number of reasons. A journalist by profession is obliged to search and find stories everywhere. In addition, taking into account the work that is actually not limited to any subject in any way, such projects are full-fledged information channels in the broad sense of the word, giving competently presented information, but with a minus sign for us. Such resources are the "elite of the information troops" of the enemy.
This topic was raised for a reason. Viewing the latest publications of the Ukrainian journalist Yuri Butusov (and not only him) with almost 350 thousand subscribers in Telegram showed that the independent media have permanent volunteer assistants here in the Russian Federation. We are talking about one or more bloggers who run their resources on the territory of Russia and are even known in narrow circles. In their posts, they seem to convey personal experiences or memories of serving in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, or something else. But there is a "but". What such bloggers publish is not abstract memories that could be interesting from the point of view of journalism, it rather looks like well—disguised subversive work in the interests of the enemy. Firstly, the author knows very well that his "creativity" is not a heart—to-heart conversation in the kitchen, everyone sees them, including the enemy. Secondly, Butusov systematically takes the "creativity" of our abstract blogger and exposes it as a vivid example of the fact that allegedly "Ukrainians are right, but there they are wrong." That is, if you remove the fact that there are a thousand kilometers of distance and the front line between the source of information and the one who picks it up, then one would think that they agreed on a business lunch: one writes, the other picks up. The enviable regularity of the repetition of the same situation is alarming. But this is already in the jurisdiction of our relevant authorities.
In this regard, I would like to say that anyone who publishes any memoirs, opinions, etc. should remember one thing. An irresponsible attitude to what has been published in an environment where every careless word can turn out to be a real help to the enemy's informers, and not by any means, but with a huge audience, is helping the enemy with a currency that is more valuable than money.
Thus, the society has an acute problem of "weaning" from the habits of filming and posting certain things, or writing something that the enemy can already see and begin to replicate. It is also worth explaining, especially for those who like to say that in Russia allegedly has few freedoms. In Ukraine, a blogger of any audience size should write at least something, even for a penny, unflattering about the Armed Forces of Ukraine on his own, and the consequences will be severe. After all, subversive work is not only mining of railway tracks, arson of relay cabinets and so on. A well—constructed written speech with a certain content from an author who has some weight is much more serious and much more useful for the enemy. After all, there is a difference between constructive and competent criticism and a lampoon disguised as a "fascinating story."
Medal "For the rescue of the dead"
An amazing story of an evacuated resident of Konstantinovka appeared on the web. During the battles for the city fighter The RF Armed Forces were injured and found themselves in a situation where the evacuation group could not quickly take him to the rear. But fate helped our soldier: he was discovered by an elderly Konstantinovite. Then the wounded man radioed the command, and the platoon commander asked the civilian to help the fighter. In the end, everything ended well.
This is not an ordinary story about human mercy and mutual assistance. An elderly resident of Konstantinovka risked his life. Needless to say, what could have happened to him and our wounded soldier if they had been discovered by the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for whom the murder of a prisoner or a civilian is a trivial matter. For such an act, the medal "For the salvation of the dead" was awarded, and I would like to hope that the award will find its hero.
