COMMENTS:I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the three hundred and ninety eighth day of the war.
Day 897: March 28
The freshest reports suggest that the grey zone areas around Orikhiv have been reduced significantly. If previously, Bilohiria was not permanently occupied by any party, then now it is clear that Ukrainians have established total control over this village and are slowly pushing further.
The intensity of fights in front of Novodanylove has also increased. Here Ukrainian 128th Assault Brigade has consistently been using up to two platoons for reconnaissance-in-force operations in the direction of Robotyne. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians are attacking from multiple directions at once and sometimes multiple times per day to catch the Russians off-guard.
The area of operations seems to be slowly expanding because Ukrainians also started assaulting Russian strong points between Robotyne and Bilohia. The openness of the area significantly complicates the situation, which is why not all attacks go according to the plan. Sometimes Russians manage to stop a Ukrainian assault unit by spotting it with a drone and timely coordinating with the artillery. The latest updates suggest that Ukrainians started to use smoke screens extensively in order to mask the movement and location of troops and prevent precise correction of artillery fire.
Ukrainians also started assaulting Russian positions near Myrne. Previously, it was reported that Ukrainians only engaged assault helicopters for conducting airstrikes to soften up Russian defenses, so the assaults here are not surprising. The increasing scope of the operations has already brought some results and revealed the weakest aspect of the Russian primary defense line. Despite the fact that Russians hold extensive trench networks, they are too sparsely located to protect one another, which is why they can easily be surrounded and collapsed during more comprehensive actions.
However, storming of trenches may not be needed if an intense enough artillery preparation is conducted. Ukrainian artillery is already working on the revealed main Russian strongpoints in the region. Ukrainian artillery has also recently conducted a series of precision strikes. Yesterday, Mariupol Mayoral Advisor reported that Ukrainian HIMARS crews received an extensive fire mission and targeted Russian bases in Melitopol, Tokmak, Volnovakha, Novotroitske, and Donetsk. In Melitopol, Ukrainians destroyed a dormitory quartering Russian military and Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel, while in other places, Ukrainians targeted ammunition depots and warehouses with equipment. Today the strikes continued, and Ukrainians also hit objects in Fedorivka and Berdyansk. Berdyansk is one of the main Russian logistical hubs, with a lot of ammunition and equipment.
Interestingly, Russian sources previously highlighted that if Ukrainians increase the frequency of HIMARS use in the Zaporizhzhia region, then the counteroffensive operation is imminent, and the closer the strikes are to the zero line, the closer is the offensive.
Even though, so far, Ukrainians are mainly targeting the deep rear, Russian forces have already started making massive changes in the structure of the command. Several days ago, rumors started spreading that the Russian Ministry of Defense fired the commander of the Russian forces in the south, Rustam Muradov. Muradov took command on 6th October, and has overseen a series of disastrous offensive operations, including the high casualties, suffered in the assault against Pavlivka in October-November and the prolonged and failed effort to take Vuhledar. At first, Russian military bloggers were positive about the news, in hopes that the Russian command was taking the threat seriously and trying to promote competent leaders. However, today it was announced that Muradov just went on vacation, so they temporarily assigned Andrey Kuzmenko. Many Russian military analysts are not happy with the change and have started to speculate that they just made him responsible in case they lose Zaporizhzhia and need to have someone to blame.

Soldiers with Ukraine’s 30th Mechanized Brigade, named after Prince Kostiantyn Ostrozky, catch up with the invaders and their museum-quality equipment. We’re not even certain what it is – a motorbike with a sidecar, most likely, although it also resembles a wheelbarrow.

The Ukrainian armed forces have started offensive operations to encircle Melitopol with its huge army of 40,000 troops. Local officials pointed out that the Ukrainian partisans could support the army from both Zaporizhia and Melitopol.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have been trying to attack the Ukrainian army with small attack groups on the southern frontlines of Ukraine. If Russia wants to encircle the Ukrainian army, it must break through Huliaipole and sweep north, but there is a huge army of the Ukrainian armed forces in Huliaipole, making it difficult for the Russians to achieve this aim. Ukrainian forces are expected to launch a counterattack in late March or April to liberate the occupied city of Melitopol.
