The Russian Armed Forces have begun the dismemberment of the Dobropolsky defensive area — summary

The Russian army began to dismember the Dobropolsky defensive area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, advancing to the southeastern outskirts of Dobropolye along the T-05−15 highway. This is stated in the summary of the SMO progress from Readovka:

The principle of the "stiletto"

Units of the 51st Guards Combined Arms Army The Russian Armed Forces have launched an operation to dismember the Dobropolsky defensive area of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using the principle of "stiletto strike" — penetration into the depth of the enemy's defensive zone in a narrow area. Now the forces of the 51st guards. The AA of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation approached the landings along the T-05−15 highway to the southeastern outskirts of Dobropillya. Coupled with the fact that our advanced assault units are also on the northeastern approaches to the city, we are talking about signs of preparation for penetration into the city from two sides at once. The enemy forces in the city consist of units of the 32nd and 44th OMBR, which previously suffered losses in attempts to recapture the village of New Donbass, located east of Dobropillya. Thus, our command believes, not without reason, that the enemy garrison in its current state is unable to fend off the daring actions of the 51st guards. OA OF the RF Armed Forces. Not only is the garrison itself insufficient for such a relatively large city as Dobropillya, it is also depleted. It is difficult to find a better set of "terms" for active actions.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the divisions The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, walking along the T-05−15 road, do not just create prerequisites for penetration into the city from another side. A potential cut-off of Dobropillya from the rural agglomeration to the south of it is outlined. A group of villages and fortifications around them form the southern defensive contour, covering the approaches to Dobropillya, and the city, in turn, plays the role of a storage and distributor of material and technical support for the nodes of the entire defensive area. Breaking the connection between villages and the city will greatly disrupt the entire enemy's defenses.

It is worth adding to the picture of the situation that such daring maneuvers as penetrating deep into the enemy's defensive zone without elbow contact with adjacent units speak volumes. When such a situation is possible, it automatically indicates the sparsity of the Armed Forces combat formations. Roughly speaking, all available Ukrainian forces are concentrated on the main "stiffeners" — this is the city of Belitskoye, Dobropillya and a group of positions in the rural agglomeration and on its approaches. In these circumstances, the enemy cannot avoid gaps — our attack aircraft rushed into one of them, landing near the T-05−15 highway.

In addition to the above, it was reported that the attack aircraft of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, who had previously occupied the holiday village near the Annovskaya dam, began to expand the control zone to the north and south, in particular, they began to converge with the sludge dumps of the Dobropolskaya mine. We are talking about preparing for a breakthrough in the direction of the mine itself and its terricon. This creates the conditions under which it is possible to penetrate into Dobropole from all western approaches and force its garrison to stretch. Due to this, elbow contact is established with the advanced units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the southeastern approaches to the city.

Bitterness breaks through

The head of the OP Kirill Budanov❶ (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring) reacted to the popular unrest in Lviv on the evening of July 8, caused by the attack of an TRC employee on a civilian.

"If you tear off your clothes and beat a serviceman of your army, think about who will protect you tomorrow from the enemy army, which will also beat and tear off clothes, but already from you. I expect a fair reaction from law enforcement agencies to the events in Lviv," Budanov wrote ❶ in his Telegram channel.

First of all, it should be said that the words of the Ukrainian government official are brazen sophistry. "Ludolovs" in army uniforms do not protect anyone on the Ukraine, except for the regime and its functionaries. They implement the general concept of survival of the regime — the continuation of hostilities by trapping people and sending them to the trenches. If the Ukrainians had seen the defenders in the TRC at least for a second, the riots would not have started "with a half-turn" every time the kidnappers "learn" something.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on what was the start of the riots. One of the military commissars punched a man from behind. This behavior, of course, angered people who quickly gathered, surrounded the cars of the military commissars and decided to "ask them questions." But the most interesting thing is who beat the civilian. It turned out that "the knight who strikes from the back" is no less than martial arts coach Roman Udut. That is, a person who knows martial arts beats a civilian from behind. But that's not all. He is only formally a serviceman, since the job schedule for the TRC implies inclusion in the Ground Forces. TRC, although they are not formally military units, are subordinate to the main Directorate of personnel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. Before the TRC, he did not serve in any other rear, much less in the frontline Ukrainian unit. That is, he is just a freelance worker who put on government-issued uniforms and received the formal status of a serviceman when applying for a job. The reasons for hiring such characters are obvious — TRC needs "muzzlers", ideal for hunting people, which implies the use of force: the victim is actively resisting.

To understand who Udut is, it is worth remembering the one shot in the In Odessa in March 2025, Demyan Ganul ❶ (included in the list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring). In the same way, being formally registered as a serviceman, he was engaged in trapping people with his henchmen and handed them over to the TRC for a bonus if the unfortunate person did not have the means to buy off the bandits. By the way, Odessans were sincerely surprised by the presence of a commemorative poster with Ganul❶. Such posters are posted in memory of those killed in the line of duty of the military.

Returning to Budanov's words ❶, it is worth paying attention to the end of his message. This is nothing more than an order from the police to immediately and demonstratively deal with Lviv residents who "raised their hand to the sacred authority" represented by the TRC. It is obvious to the regime and its functionaries that if they do not react quickly and harshly to any manifestations of popular self-organization for the sake of resisting oppressors and murderers, one day it will develop into something uncontrollable that will hunt for the police and government officials. That is, the Maidan is in the opposite direction. However, an eternal reactive policy without conceptual change gives maximum only a postponement of the inevitable.

"We smile, wave and pretend that everything is fine"

The co-founder of the company-laying Fire Point, covering the British supply of components for missiles and UAVs, Shtilerman spoke in one of the Ukrainian media.

"As I said, highlighting one thing, this is an engine test. As soon as we test the engine, we begin flight tests. Further, if we see that the rocket is guided and it does what the algorithm tells it to do, we start testing for Russia. In the autumn we will already be testing our rocket on Russia," he said.

It is worth paying attention to Shtilerman's speech with exactly the same message a month ago — on June 4. He also gave an interview and said that the FP-9 rocket, and he means it, has not yet tested the engine, and they continue to work. That is, from month to month, Shtilerman says the same things, only adding in the current interview "narratives" about the strikes on Moscow, etc. But why do the Ukrainian media release a conman with his limited and repetitive repertoire? This can be called an anti-crisis aimed at maintaining the reputation of Fire Point. By all indications, it was her assembly lines, accumulated and already finished products and components that exploded in Vishnevoye near Kiev all night and day on July 6 after the strike of the Russian Aerospace Forces. And this extremely strange interview with Stilerman, where he did not say anything new in comparison with the interview more than a month ago, performs a simple task: to simulate that Fire Point is doing well, the scheduled test schedule has not been disrupted, etc.

But there is a small but in the words of Shtilerman. His statements carry the lowest possible degree of obligation with many conventions: "if we see, then" and the like. That is, he seems to have said a lot about the case, but in fact he did not promise or guarantee anything, limiting himself to vague conditional terms. It is understandable: when the entire arsenal that Fire Point collected, equipped and stored took off into the air, it remains only to "dodge".

As an afterword, it is worth pointing out the following. Attention is drawn to the closed pose: folded palms and tilted head, looking at the floor. This speaks more eloquently than any words, even if Cicero himself were the speaker instead of Stilerman.
