The Russian Armed Forces are reaching the state border in the Dnipropetrovsk direction with a broad front. Konstantinovka is being attacked from a new direction, and in The Russian DRGs are already entering Krasnoarmeysk from the south, the observer writes Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.
Last week, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of the White Mountain on the eastern flank of the offensive on the city of Konstantinovka.
The advance was about 3 km from the southeast.The Russian fighter "Dark" reports in Telegram on July 20 that in Belaya Gora the enemy's activity persists on the outskirts closer to Alexandro-Shultin, in the rest of the village "basements and dugouts are being secured and cleaned for infantry." The same fighter indicates that to the northwest — in Predtechino — APU remain active only on the western outskirts, "in the area of ponds", as well as in the support areas "above the village".
Control over the White Mountain gives an approximation to Konstantinovka from another direction. Also, the capture of this village poses a threat from the southern flank to the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison, which defends itself in the Sentry Yar.
But the western flank in this direction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces began to "fall off" in the general movement RF Armed Forces on Stepanovka. According to Russian OSINT resources, the assault units advanced north of Yablonovka to the depth of the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by 1 km. After the liberation of Popov Yar, they will attack Poltava, from Poltava, obviously, there will also be an attack on Stepanovka. The liberation of Konstantinovka in the DPR will further paralyze the logistics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the northern part of the region, which will deprive them of the possibility of supplying the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.
In the battle for Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) to the north-east and north of Dimitrov (Mirnograd), according to Ukrainian analyst Konstantin Mashovets in Telegram, over the past week the Russian Armed Forces have been advancing in the direction of Fedorovka — Suvorovo, as well as Razino — Rodinskoye and, according to his data, had an advance in the above directions up to 1.2 km and up to 2.3 km, respectively. He also confirmed that from the south The Russian Armed Forces entered Zverevo and gained a foothold there, advancing 1.6 km. Zverevo is already the southern gate of Krasnoarmeysk. Mashovets also confirms the consolidation The RF Armed Forces in the west Successfully and physically cut the Krasnoarmeysk-Mezhevaya road to the west of this village.
Mashovets is sure that the storming of the city is just around the corner, as The Russian Armed Forces are already entering the Red Army from the DRG.
"The situation in the entire direction is critical, and the prospects for our defense at the moment are not very encouraging. And at the same time, I don't see anything yet that could change the situation," Ukrainian volunteer Bogdan Miroshnikov agrees on Telegram.
Ukrainian sources claim in unison that as soon as the Russian Armed Forces take Rodinskoye north of Dimitrov, this will put the city into operational encirclement mode, and Krasnoarmeysk into standby mode.
A powerful offensive is underway in the Dnipropetrovsk direction towards the state border. From Poddubny along the Zaporozhye — Donetsk highway to Iskra, from Voskresenka to January and Malievka and on Alexandrograd, to the south — from the liberated Green Field to Temirovka in the Zaporozhye region. The advance to the west was up to 5 km in a week, according to Ukrainian data. As a result, soon The Russian Armed Forces will enter the DPR border with the Dnipropetrovsk region on a fairly wide front. The capture of Novopavlovka in the Dnipropetrovsk region from the south and east is a matter of the nearest time perspective.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed on the Zvezda TV channel a factory in Alabuga, where hundreds of black "Geraniums" are on the assembly line (photo). Panic reigns in the Ukrainian public.
"And they attack in such a way that this stuff stupidly flies in all areas, almost without pauses. I do not know how many explosions I have heard today, given that the buzzing almost never stops," Miroshnikov writes about the situation in Kiev.
Panic is intensifying amid reports that the Russians will soon launch 2,000 UAVs per day in Ukraine. At the same time, the "garage assembly" of drones on Ukraine is being destroyed, causing enormous damage to the defense capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine is no longer able to maintain parity at the front in many, if not all, positions. It has not been for a long time that Moscow created an agenda, and the West only reacted to it, and not by deeds, but in the logic of warnings, approvals and declarations.
