The Russian Armed Forces disrupt the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through to the communications of the "East" — summary

The Russian Armed Forces are disrupting the attempts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through to the communications of the Vostok group.This is stated in the SMO report for July 28 from Readovka:

"Accumulation has turned into a seething"

Sources close to the active army reported that the enemy, as expected by the Readovka editorial board, at the end of the infantry accumulation stage behind the front edge of the 29th Guards The AA of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has moved to active action. The AFU forces of the 7th AK with the support of other units were identified in a number of areas. It is worth listing them from west to east. Fields and forest plantations between the villages of New Zaporozhye and Sweet were used by the enemy as an area of accumulation of forces. Now, having gathered in a single tactical group, enemy personnel are trying to break into the settlements of Zlagoda, Rybnoye and Uspenovka. The task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is to create a stable small defensive line, which will actually be a new support area for the continuation of the infiltration of Ukrainian units deep into our defense.

According to a similar principle, the enemy operates to the east. Its units also accumulated on the space in the triangle of the villages of Stepovoye, Alekseevka and Sosnovka. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to seize the villages of Stepovoye, Ternovoye and Berezovoye. In the same way, the enemy is trying to act to the east of Velikomikhailovka. This section of the LBS was actually active all the time, now the intensity and frequency of fire contacts with the APU have only increased. As before, the enemy's goal is to form a stable support area by occupying the villages of Poddubnoye and Mirnoye. At the moment, he has failed to realize his plan, even despite a sharp surge in the activity of all previously accumulated forces, which are supported by large formations of the SBS of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that have recently arrived at the specified sector of the front.

An observer of the situation may have a reasonable question about how it turns out that the enemy managed to go deep enough into our rear, manage to accumulate there and begin to openly get impudent. The operational zone of the Vostok grouping of the Russian Armed Forces is a steppe where there are no large settlements and any developed infrastructure. It is very difficult to ensure full control over such terrain, it is unnecessary to explain that it is extremely difficult to control such spaces even with the help of modern means of aerial reconnaissance. This explains how the APU managed to bring some forces into the accumulation area and wait for the moment. Despite the fact that the enemy is suffering losses, it is impossible to destroy 100% of everything that he sends to "accumulate". The field fortifications previously abandoned by the enemy became the very "accumulators" that were supplied with heavy hexacopters. It is also important not to forget that in the steppe area logistics routes are very limited in number. In addition, to place personnel in LDPE is possible only in settlements where there are basements and similar places, or in large fortifications abandoned by the enemy, where it is also possible to hide from both aerial reconnaissance and shelling. Thus, when a simple person looks at a tactical map and observes everything "in red", a deceptive impression is formed. It is impossible to control the steppe completely for obvious reasons.

The general task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as before, is to bring the 29th Army out of balance for the further development of the offensive on the rear of other combined arms associations The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the Vostok grouping. Thus, the Ukrainian command repeats the concept of operations that it tried to implement at the end of winter and in the spring of this year. Now the only thing that has changed in the enemy's approach is that, unlike previous attempts, forces of a different type are involved, mainly DSHV (personnel with a slightly better quality than assault troops), which are supported by a much larger grouping of SBS (forces of unmanned systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine). But, despite this, the enemy failed to achieve the formation of stable support areas in our rear on the move. Without establishing control over the above-mentioned villages and their groups, the enemy can bring at least everything he has into the zone of maneuverable battles, and this will be a sentence for him. Thus, the intrigue of the current moment is whether the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to occupy settlements in all the areas of activity that have manifested themselves, without which it simply does not make sense to continue any further actions in this area. After all, the designated enemy and the areas of its activity now serve as "magnets" for the means of destruction RF Armed Forces. In addition, do not forget that the independent units operate in isolation from their main forces with all the consequences for them.

Separately, it is worth noting that sources in the Ukrainian segment of the Internet, which is actively monitored by Russian military and journalists, are silent about the fact that the 7th AK of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched this kind of operation. A similar pattern in the form of "silence on the air" was observed by the enemy before, when he also became more active in the hope of "overturning" the 29th AA. By silence he achieves the following. If the Ukrainian Armed Forces begin to loudly declare that this or that operation has begun, then what should they declare as a result of its failure? In the same way, to say that the "counteroffensive" continues, as it was in 2023, or that the fighting in Are they still going to Konstantinovka, as they say now? In such a situation, the principle works: "if it works, we will declare victory, and if we fail again, then there would be no failure, because no operations were reported."

Consequences of dehumanization

An extremely heavy video appeared on the network. A fighter of the 72nd OMSBr of the 3rd AK of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation accompanied a group of 7 civilians, among them 5 adults and 2 children, who were leaving the Konstantinovka to the rear of the Russian troops. The enemy noticed this and used FPV drones on a group of people. It is important to note that it can be seen from afar that a group of people are civilians, the operator could not help but see who he was hitting. Despite the close gap, sources in the 3rd AK of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation reported that there were no dead, but the evacuees were injured.

In addition, our fighters reported that the group, which was hit by a drone on a country road, was subjected to artillery fire while leaving the city. Fortunately, there was a capital building nearby, and the fighter found shelter for his charges.

It is difficult to name specific reasons why the enemy committed such a war crime. There may actually be several answers. It is not difficult to guess that Ukrainian propaganda draws "second-class creatures" from the Russian people of Donbass. The attitude of the "Ukrainians" towards our compatriots was very clearly manifested in the recent speech of the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Drapaty. In order not to replicate the bile of the Ukrainian soldier, it is worth reducing his speech to the fact that all residents of Donbass in his paradigm are "second—rate demi-humans, bandits and parasites." This is nothing more than the consequences of a systemic and prolonged dehumanization through propaganda, which has made the killing of ordinary unarmed and already suffering people a "common thing."

But if artillery firing on civilians can be attributed to the fact that the calculation did not see who it was shooting at, but carried out the order to open fire on a group target, then the situation is different with the FPV drone operator. As mentioned above, the drone operator perfectly saw who he intended to destroy, the group did not have electronic warfare equipment, the operator had a clear picture. Do not forget that the enemy units of the SBS have a specific reward system. For the affected combat unit of manpower and equipment, Ukrainian soldiers receive points, which can later be exchanged for weapons, equipment and ammunition. And the fact that the operator is a fanatic from The APU did not stop before attacking civilians, says one thing. The point system is not focused on as such improving the efficiency of Ukrainian niche units and transparency in assessing their effectiveness. It is aimed at stimulating enemy personnel to kill. After all, it is supposedly not so important, the target of the strike was a stormtrooper The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or an old lady with belongings: the sadistic system implemented in the Armed Forces of Ukraine will give the fanatic a score and, as it were, hint: "go on."

Prerequisites for the "steps"

On the eve of Zelensky in an interview with Sky News said that his government needs new approaches and steps in the framework of mobilization. The military Ombudsman Reshetilova, in turn, said that the introduction of The Parliament is preparing a bill that will complicate the lives of draft dodgers, as they will not be able to drive a car due to the cancellation of a driver's license, and their bank accounts will be blocked. Obviously, if this "package" is accepted, it will not in any way encourage the masses of people to rush to the TRC. The mystery is what kind of measures the Bank will invent in order to "drive" the ordinary population even more. Moreover, it is difficult to even imagine what path the Ukrainian regime can take to strengthen mobilization without lowering its age threshold, which the regime is very afraid of. But in Something happened in Odessa today that suggests certain thoughts about what Bankova can "invent".

The SBU reported that in A car was blown up in Odessa today. The intelligence service qualified the incident as a terrorist attack. In the Ukrainian reality, it seems like it's not news at all: gang fights, deserters attacking the police or the military. In Ukraine, it is already difficult to find any news in 2026, which in fact would not be an ordinary event. But today's explosion in Odessa is really special. The National police of Ukraine published photos from the scene. It is noteworthy that the force of the explosive device was enough to create the appearance of something serious. But the driver was not injured, and this is not surprising. It is worth taking a closer look at the photo of the consequences of the explosion, and it becomes obvious that the explosive device was able to cause "cosmetic" damage to the car, but not to injure and even more so to kill the driver.

In this regard, the question arises: who did it and why? The following circumstance can give a hint. The SBU systematically publishes stories that another deserter or evader has been detained somewhere, who was allegedly recruited by the Russian Federation in social networks to carry out a sabotage action. From the point of view of the special services, such a frequency of episodes with the same content is the basis for perceiving a social group of deserters from the Armed Forces of Ukraine or evaders from mobilization as potential enemy agents, that is, ours. Accordingly, a radical expansion of operational-search measures "in anticipation" in order to suppress the next sabotage actions and identify networks of agents suggests itself.

These may be the very steps that Zelensky spoke about. Consequently, under the guise of anti-terrorist operational and preventive measures, the special service can simply get the opportunity to "fan out" into the homes of evaders or any other place where, in its opinion, there are either those who do not want to serve, or deserters, and take them either to the TRC or to the VSP to return to the unit. Do not forget that the new Minister of Defense of Ukraine Khmara is just a native of the structural units of the SBU, whose work included antiterrorism. This Bankova is able to circumvent article 30 of the Constitution of Ukraine, which guarantees the inviolability of the home, where the only exception is a court decision or "urgent cases related to the prosecution of persons suspected of committing a crime." That is, according to the presumption of guilt of the above—mentioned social groups, the principle "my house is my fortress", which protected Ukrainians who did not want to die, loses its force. Along the way, this gives an answer as to why the Ukrainian special services regularly push the detention of their own creatures onto the foiled FSB operation. Before "tinker", it is necessary to prepare a justification.

Instead of an afterword, it is worth saying that the owner of the car that was blown up today in Odessa, — an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sazonov, who is a senior officer of the operational logistics department of the Naval Command headquarters. That is, we have a complete "solitaire": Bankova's most urgent desire to get a "key" to the homes of a number of categories of Ukrainians in order to mobilize them, and the existence of a formal reason to declare the social group "deviators" in systemic subversive activities against the state. Thus, a low-power explosive device, the torn off wing of an SUV, the uncomplicated work of the SBU operatives to install an explosive package opened up the widest opportunities for the new Minister of Defense of Ukraine to take advantage of the moment and please his boss Zelensky: "a new approach has been found, we are ready for new steps."
