Military experts assess Russian military attack on Kiev hospital

First, they say Russian forces are stepping up their attacks behind Ukrainian lines.

“Probably on Monday night, another test was carried out – four Kh101 and two IskanderM were attacked. Two ballistic missiles and one cruise missile missed. During the day, another strike was made. This time, submarines in the Black Sea were attacked by Kalibr missiles, Tu95 and Tu22 cruise missiles Iskander-M, MiG-31K Kinzhal missiles.

Ukraine also announced that a Zircon missile was attacked. Its carrier is a Northern Fleet ship, so again we guess that the Russians managed to use a ground launch platform (the Bastion launch platform of the coastal defense system). Ukraine claims to have shot down 30 of the 38 air targets. Children attacked in Kiev Hospitalwhere children with cancer are also being treated. Residential areas in the capitals Krivoy Rog and Dnipro, as well as rail infrastructure in Odessa, were also hit. Dozens have been killed and injured so far.

Despite the fact that for many years we had the possibility to get away with such war crimes by Russia, we still failed – with bitterness and anger in our hearts. Gain,” the military expert wrote.

Military experts, when examining the situation on the front, start with the Kharkov direction, where the Ukrainians are maintaining the positions they won a few days ago near Hlikopei, and fighting continues in the Lipchi and Vovchiansk areas.

“In the latter, the Russians attempted to attack and prevent the Ukrainians from gaining a foothold on the northern bank of the Vovcha River. The aviation of the aggressors continued to be active,” they said.

In Kupyansk in the Luhansk direction, the invader somewhat improved his positions on the northern flank.

“However, the most important thing is that the Ukrainians did not allow the Russians to succeed in the central sector. Although the aggressor gained a foothold near Pishkan, he could not advance further. In addition, fierce fighting took place on the southern flank (Stelmavivka),” experts from the Civil Defense and Security Analysis Center “Locked N’ Loaded” assessed the situation.

At Leman, as military experts had predicted, the Russians were stepping up operations on the northern flank.

“However, the Ukrainians managed to maintain their position. According to the classics of the genre, the aggressors should try to carry out more intensive strikes on other regions in the coming days, hoping to distract the attention of Ukrainian troops and resources on the northern flank, thus creating conditions for a more successful attack on the northern flank,” they predicted.

No significant changes were recorded at Seversk.

In the Donetsk direction, fierce fighting continues in the eastern region of Hasif Yar.

“Despite their efforts, the Russians were unable to advance into the western part of the city. The Russians were also advancing towards Kryshivka, but the Ukrainians also managed to maintain their positions,” they said.

They said the situation in the Toretsk region had not improved after the Ukrainian counterattack on Sunday.

“The Russians continue to attack the eastern flank. On the southern flank, fighting is taking place on the southern edge of the city. It is not ruled out that in the near future the aggressors will intensify offensive operations from Kramik to Sukhabarka with the aim of capturing the heights here and blocking the city from the west,” said an expert from the Center for Analysis of Civil Defense and Security “Locked N’ Loaded”.

On the northern flank of Pokrovsk-Vukhledar, Russian troops continued to exert intensive pressure in the Prokhres-Yasnobrodivka area.

“The aggressors are trying to take advantage of the situation in Novoselyvka Persha (Russian forces located to the north and rear) and bypass the settlement, which has become a thorny problem both from the north and from the south. Fierce fighting continues.

Sitting on the sofa, it seems more reasonable to withdraw troops behind the Vovcha River, shorten the contact line and strengthen the defense of new positions while the western bank and Prokhres are still in Ukrainian hands. However, the Ukrainians see everything on the ground more clearly, “military experts shared their insights on social networks.

They wrote that heavy fighting continued on the central and southern flanks, but the line of contact did not change, as in the Zaporizhia and southern directions.
