⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 26 Dec 2023 by 18:36⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, the AFU is making efforts to expand their foothold. And it must be recognised that to date the attempts of our forces to push them back have not been successful. The move of the AFU by strengthening the air defence on the right bank and near #Kherson also helps them so far. Our aircrafts have not made combat sorties in this area for the last few days. The tight work of the AFU's electronic warfare service also complicates our military's efforts. Whether it is a potentially promising direction for the enemy or not, they are squeezing the maximum out of it.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, fighting has intensified again near #Gulyaypole. The enemy is suffering significant losses, but so far our troops have not been able to advance, but near #Rabotino they continue to do so.

🔹In the #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces are literally dismantling the enemy's positions in #Novomikhaylovka with FABs and artillery, and are preparing for a ground assault. The AFU are trying to counterattack, without success. The loss of the so-called "#Menagerie" (#Zverinets) zone in the southeast of the village has significantly complicated the position of the AFU. Advances are also being recorded in the direction of #Pobeda.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the #Avdeyevka front, it is reported that the AFU command is moving headquarters, rotation points and hospitals from the city itself to #Ocheretino, which is the last major fortification. Then only the steppes of #Donbass up to #Pokrovsk, where the AFU headquarters was recently hit. There is an opinion that Kiev plans to withdraw the main forces from #Avdeyevka itself, leaving only mercenaries and special forces. The decision may be influenced by the encirclement of #Berdychi on the northern flank by our army. From #Stepovoye, which is now being fought over, to its outskirts is about 1.5 km. Near #Gorlovka, the AFU again tried to attack. Our units confidently repulsed them. At #Ocheretino, our forces have taken a number of positions. There is heavy fighting on the southern flank, with no changes in the frontline.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction our forces are advancing west of the city. The enemy is not trying to counterattack yet, he is giving up his positions. At #Bogdanovka, our forces advanced and took a number of other positions. But at #Kleshcheyevka our forces repelled a major AFU counterattack. The enemy had no success, lost men and two IFVs. At #Andreyevka ours attacked with the support of artillery, without success.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, the enemy tried to counterattack at #Torskoye and #Dibrova, our forces held their positions. In the #Kupyansk sector in #Sinkovka our stormtroopers continue to advance. Now our attacks at #Sinkovka, unfortunately, resemble the frontal attacks of the AFU at #Rabotino in the summer.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 1 Feb 2024 by 21:22⚡️

🔹In #Kherson Direction, no change in #Krynki. Not a village, but ruins. The surrounding areas are covered in craters from shells and aerial bombs. The AFUshniks are also trying to hide in them. Another group has been hit during the landing.

🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, northwest of #Verbovoye, the AFU managed to regain control of the western forest plantation. Perhaps our fighters were unable to confidently gain a foothold there under enemy artillery fire. Now the AFU are shelling the neighboring forest plantation and intend to try to take it too. Quite an unexpected turn. At the same time, I see no preconditions for further AFU advances.

🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, a video of the battle at #Sladkoye, is going viral. Our army lost both people and a lot of equipment, knocked out by drones. Obviously, ours did not have EW. Despite heavy losses, ours managed to expand the control zone by 3 sq. km. North of #Novomikhaylovka, our forces established control over the road west of the second #Zverinets and advanced along the forest plantation by about 800m. Unfortunately, also with losses.

🔹In #Donetsk Direction, the most active battles are taking place on the southern outskirts of #Avdeyevka. Our military managed to cope with the AFU counterattacks and advanced along Sportivnaya Street. Given that control over this street is difficult without advancing along Sobornaya and Chernyshevsky Streets, it is likely that the AFU has been displaced there as well. To the east, our forces are advancing southwest of the Donetsk Filtration Station and have taken several more positions from the AFU. Our artillery and aviation are helping, they are hitting the AFU and helping our forces to consolidate their positions. The station is about a km away, and along the way there is a network of strongholds in the forest. The fighting will not be easy.

🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, west of the city, our frces advanced along the route to #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) and expanded the bridgehead. Northwest of #Kleshcheyevka, new heights have been taken, our initiative is not given up.

🔹In #Svatovo Direction, in the #Seversk sector, #Spornoye fully justifies its name (controversial), the positions are changing hands. The shelling of the AFU stronghold near the reservoir was recorded. This indirectly confirms that ours again withdrew from the centre of the village and most of #Spornoye is again under the AFU. In the #Kupyansk sector, our forces have entered #Ivanovka and are advancing towards #Kislovka. From the recently taken heights west of #Tabayevka, ours control the logistics of the AFU. This worsens their position at #Kislovka, which is a powerful fortification. Apparently, we are aiming to take the village in pincers.

☠️ Our army lost another unit of the Black Sea Fleet. At night, a dozen AFU marine drones attacked the "Ivanovets" Rocket Boat on the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav, a bay on the western side of #Crimea. The boat received direct hits, the detonations led to the sinking of the vessel. Hopefully the crew was saved. Was there electronic warfare, why are there no booms? It is unlikely that we will hear answers to these questions. There were no official messages. As, by the way, about the A-50 aircraft. The AFU tried to attack the #Belbek Airfield. A missile fell in the wasteland between the runway and the airfield fence. The likely target is our air defence, but the AFU footage shows Pantsir outlets, so most likely the target was not reached. In #Donetsk, a man was killed by a drone and in #Gorlovka, a woman was wounded.
