Military experts: Russia will be forced to respond

95 Ukrainian defenders returned to their homeland from captivity of the occupiers.

Ukrainians are buying new drones, which can be used both as reconnaissance drones and as FPV attack drones. Operating range – up to 7 km, can carry about 2.7 kg (PG7 cumulative ammunition, for example), price about 1000 euros.

You say – nothing new? Maybe so, but these are not Chinese or Ukrainian drones, but German drones (manufacturer “Donauhstal”).

“The Russians are digging into Telegram. Europe is waking up,” the expert wrote.

The invaders lack armored vehicles. As another proof of this, the “unmatched” 70-year-old “mature” T54s were delivered to Ukraine from the depths of Russia.

After the Ukrainian drone strikes, parts of Rostov-on-Don, the Krasnodar region and Crimean cities lost power. In turn, the aggressors launched attacks on the infrastructure of the Odessa seaport.

The Russians are vigorously trying to occupy the northern part of Vovchansk, but the Ukrainians do not allow them to establish their territory. Ukrainian troops attack Hlibok (Lypčiai district).

Kupyansk. The Russians have stepped up their operations in the central region, but the offensive has not yielded results. The Ukrainians are successfully defending themselves on the north and south flanks.

Lehmann. The intensity of the fighting has dropped somewhat. The possibility that the Russians are regrouping cannot be ruled out.

Seversk. Ukrainians repulse a Russian advance from Rozdolivka toward Perezne. Clashes continue in other areas.

Chasiv Yar. Eastern region of Chasiv Yar – no changes. Meanwhile, the situation in the Toreko region is changing. On the southern side, the expected thing is starting – the Ukrainian troops are launching a counter-offensive on the north-western side and are advancing successfully.

This would allow Russian forces operating at the cutting edge of the offensive to be pushed back. The Russians would then be forced to respond, and perhaps the Ukrainians would be able to impose their battle tempo.

Pokrovsk-Vukhledar. North. The Russians continued to advance in small steps towards the Vovcha River and the Pokrovsk-Kost-Zhandinivka road.

In the center and on the south side – no major changes.

If nothing changes, the battle for the Staromajorska – Urožaina section and the Robotyná wedge will continue.

Ukraine has officially confirmed the withdrawal of its troops from the Klinkey bridgehead. For a long time, there was not much point in storing and rotating units there.

On the other hand, the Ukrainians controlled this bridgehead with firepower, and the Russians could not capture it. The fighting in the Dnipro continued.
