The Russian occupation forces intend to change the priority of the offensive in the north-east of the Donetsk region. In particular, the enemy army is intensifying attacks around the city of Seversk.
The invaders chose a new tactic to distract attention from Ukraine's counteroffensive in the south of the country. This is stated in the analysis of the Institute for the study of war.
Earlier, the invaders curtailed offensive operations east of Seversk and conducted limited ground attacks, which were accompanied by significant artillery attacks on nearby settlements. However since August 11 Russian war criminals have changed their tactics
The invaders have increased the number of limited ground attacks in the Seversk area. According to military analysts, these strikes, along with ongoing strikes in the direction of Bakhmut, may represent an attempt to divert Ukrainian equipment and personnel to the Bakhmut-Seversk line in the north-east of the Donetsk region.
The main goal of the Russian troops is to divert the attention of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from critical areas in the south, where they conduct effective counterattacks and possibly create conditions for the transition to a counteroffensive.
"Russian forces may hope to shift both tactical and rhetorical focus from the south to reduce pressure on their own operations along the southern axis," the ISW said. Invaders step up attacks in Seversk area
Recall that as a result of damage to a number of bridges in the Kherson region, the Russian invaders lost the ability to defend themselves even from limited counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Currently, the enemy cannot support large-scale mechanized operations without reliable logistics links.
As OBOZREVATEL wrote, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved an order on mandatory evacuation of residents of the Donetsk region. It will be held in safe areas of 13 regions.

Distract attention from the IMAGINARY/NON-EXISTENT Ukrainian counteroffensive? Yeah… sure.
I see you’re carrying water for the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) now. That the Victoria Nuland associated “non-profit” composed of neocons and globalists who never see a war they don’t like.
🏭 As a result of regular AFU shelling of Kakhovskaya HPP with US-made HIMARS MLRS in particular on August 12, 2022, three of the six turbines of the hydropower plant are shut down. The facility is operating in pre-emergency mode.
▫️Disruptions to the power generation and water discharge systems could fail the combined energy system and negatively affect the cooling of Zaporizhzhya NPP reactors, which would not only disrupt electricity supplies, including to the territory temporarily under Ukrainian control, but also lead to an environmental disaster in the region.
Time to quit calling FReepers who post something you don’t like essentially a stooge for the neocons.
Stooge? There are those here who gleefully carry their water.
And you don’t have to shout at each and everyone who posts something you don’t like
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
“Time to quit calling FReepers who post something you don’t like essentially a stooge for the neocons.”
Putinistas can’t stop name-calling! They cannot refute the well-know truth of this Evil invasion by Russia. Continue to post to share information with other freepers.
But, just ignore or ‘ghost’ them: absolutely just not worth any attempt to reason with Putin-troll demagogues that merely ridicule or insult opponents to shut down reasoned deliberation of competing ideas.
This is interesting...wonder if there is a connection to the Iranian drones Russia just got.

Friends, I am sure that many of you will perceive with great interest the news that the Russian University of Special Forces (Gudermes) has opened courses for the training of pilots-operators of UAVs. This is a new direction of study and it is already available for those who wish.
The best qualified instructors will give all the necessary knowledge to future specialists, show how to point and correct the work of artillery, and identify the location and movement of the enemy. Also, those who wish to learn will learn how to provide air patrols of their positions, escort convoys of equipment, conduct reconnaissance of the route of movement, perform aerial photography to create maps of the area with high detail, transport various cargoes, interact with assault groups in conditions of combat contact at a distance of up to 5 km.
The specialty of a pilot-operator is one of the most promising and in demand in the modern world. It will remain so, no doubt, for the foreseeable future. The skills acquired during the training can be applied to civilian purposes, which cover many areas of life.
It is equally important that the Russian University of Special Forces has the best examples of unmanned aerial vehicles, which we previously purchased from world-renowned developers. So welcome to Gudermes, to the team of real professionals!
This is quite interesting to...also on Slavangrad

About Ru military strength
Only 5-10 % of actual strength fighting at any time
~35000 = ~ 87 new volunteer battalions (1-5 each provinces) are coming , some already deployed like Alga 1
DNR LNR = getting equipped to RU standard and reinforced by new recruits every day
Ukrops getting shot at ~20000-50000 arty shell each day, not counting heavy MLRS and big- 500 kg warhead - missiles.
🆕🔥🔥🔥The well-known Middle East analyst Elijah Magier (specializes in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Palestine), who is well informed about the activities of the Shiite Axis of Resistance (a conglomerate of pro-Iranian groups in the above countries), citing his sources in Tehran, reports that Russia has already concluded agreements with Iran on the supply to Russia of 1,000 reconnaissance and strike drones of the Shahed 129 type (also previously reported about Shahed 191), capable of staying in the air for more than a day and capable of acting both as strike platforms and as effective spotters for artillery and missile systems).
According to Magier, Iran has already transferred to Russia a special simulator for training operators of these types of drones, as well as several machines. He also states that the first of them are already taking part in hostilities in Ukraine🔥🔥🔥
You seem to be triggered.
Guns have triggers. I don’t
You probably don't even see the hypocrisy in that statement.
“Distraction” does not mean there is a counter offensive! It is used to prevent UA from moving troops elsewhere. No biggy.
And yes in the Kherson Oblast read this and weep, rend your flesh, pull your hair, gouge your eyes:
Good News for Ukraine, bad news for resident trolls.

Reports from the Ukrainian administration in nearby Mikolayiv suggest the leadership of the Russia-backed occupational government fled Kherson and crossed the river on Saturday. It was not clear whether Russian military commanders had also evacuated across the river. If true, it may be a sign that Russian forces are preparing a withdrawal to defensive positions on the south bank.
