[ Ukrainians Unleash Their Tanks And Penetrate Russian Defense ]
••Day 495: Jul 03
Today the biggest news comes from the east.
Here, after securing the western part of the canal, Ukrainians launched the next phase of the operation, crossed the canal, and started taking Klishchiivka into a pocket.
After the Russians lost control over the forest, this part of their defense line became rather weak.
Not only did Russians suffer from pervasive crossfire, but their supplies were extremely undermined due to the extensive visual control over the fields and not a lot of roads.
Ukrainians exploited this weakness by unleashing their artillery on the main Russian logistical center of this group - Andriivka.
So the time worked in Ukrainian favor, and while Ukrainians conducted operations in another place, Russian troops in this region started suffering from shortages of basic equipment.
This was a perfect time for breaching the Russian defense.
In order to swiftly penetrate Russian positions, clear as much ground as possible, and prevent Russians from even considering to counterattack, Ukrainians used tanks.
The tanks advanced along the tree belts and used high-explosive shells to demolish Russian trenches and any other fortifications.
Each such raid was immediately followed by an infantry assault that completely cleared and secured positions.
The assaults on the eastern bank of the canal were extremely successful because Ukrainians managed to advance by up to 1.5 km towards Klishchiivka, slowly penetrating the Russian rear.
And this is extremely important because the whole southern Bakhmut’s flank relies on just 2 powerful fortifications: one north of Klishchiivka and one west of Klishchiivka.
The fact that Ukrainians have advanced by 1.5 km means that one of these 2 fortifications has fallen.
If we look at the satellite footage, we can see that this was an incredibly powerful strong point, which basically consists of a net of trenches right near the tree line.
So, by conducting such a rapid advance, Ukrainians took Russians by surprise with such deep penetration, not giving them a chance to properly man and equip such a formidable structure.
Ukrainian 3rd Assault Brigade counted on such development of the events and was ready to push Russians non-stop.
The moment the positions got cleared, Ukrainian assault units got deployed to the next one, the fighters entered Russian fortifications and steadily cleared the trenches, and took captives.
But this is only the beginning.
Unfortunately for Russians, Ukrainians have also simultaneously capitalized on their recent gains in and around the forest to develop the second axis of advance that bypassed Klishchiivka and slowly set conditions for the encirclement of the main Russian fortification.
Today multiple Ukrainians fighters from different detachments reported that Ukrainians have finally pushed Russians out of the forest.
One fighter stated that today the forest north of Klishchiivka was indistinguishable from hell.
Russians sources reported that Ukrainian artillery was so concentrated on this particular region as if they aimed to erase them from the ground.
Ukrainian soldiers claim that this night is decisive, and if they manage to secure the newly gained positions, then Russians will have to start packing.
Overall, Ukrainians have penetrated Russian defense simultaneously from 2 sides and are effectively encircling the most powerful Russian fortification in this region.
Ideally, they would aim to take it without a fight because, not only is it one of the most extensive trench networks developed, but it is also located on a hill and near the village, which makes it very easy to supply the troops.
It looks like this is not going to matter, and Russians are going to retreat to avoid being taken into a pocket.
In fact, Ukrainian Intelligence reports that Russian commanders have already started moving their command posts further away from Klishchiivka, which signals that the level of confidence in Russian defense is very low.

Also, German instructors continue to help train the Ukrainian military, Pistorius added.

Looks like with the deliberately allied-delayed training of F-16 pilots, they will not be ready until next Spring. The date negotiated for this training was supposed to begin in June.

Another KA-52 lost. These machines are not as good as the Russians say they are, and not even close to being a competitor for the US Apache.

Oryx records for July 1-3 that Russian has lost 38 vehicles, while the UA has lost only 15, including one Leopard 2A6 and one Bradley.

Zelensky held a meeting about the front lines and the situation around the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. Planing was made to conduct drills and the evacuation of villages and cities when the Russians blow the plant.

The Russian Federation will remotely blow up the ZNPP immediately after the station comes under the control of Ukraine in order to blame us for this - Zelensky

Evacuation of civilian personnel at Zaporizhia nuclear power plant to be completed by July 5th.
He addressed world leaders [ yesterday ] with a warning that Russia is preparing to undermine [ destroy ] the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
“Our intelligence received information that Russia is considering a scenario of a terrorist attack at the ZNPP with a release of radiation.
They have prepared everything for this.
Unfortunately, I have repeatedly had occasion to remind that radiation does not know state borders, and who it hits, is determined only by the direction of the wind.
We pass on all available information to our partners, all evidence - Europe, America, China, Brazil, India, Africa, the Arab world - all countries and international organizations should know this.
This time it should not be like with Kakhovskaya [ Nova Kakhovka ]. The world has been warned.”

[ Think of this disaster as Chernobyl times 6, only worse as the reactor explosions will be deliberate. This is not hyperbole, over reaction or anything of the sort. Why mine something like this if one does not, at some point, plan to detonate the mines?

##•• It bears repeating: if the Russians and Putin go through with this plan, the release will render Ukraine and several surrounding countries uninhabitable, and if the cloud moves over Europe, it too will become uninhabitable. This will be the worst crisis in all of human history, bar the Mt. Toba eruption 74,000 years ago. ••## ]

The Ukrainian military continues to advance along the south direction. Currently, the Defense Forces are expending positions on the taken lines

Russian officials said everything is going according to the Plan & Prigozhin agrees.
Russia is a 14th century feudal empire running a gas station with nukes in the backroom.

Deliberate stalling - training was negotiated to begin in June. Now they are saying later, and when later arrives, will they find another excuse to delay once again?

Exclusive: The Armed Forces of Ukraine are within 10 kilometers of Donetsk City and closing fast.
Zelenski is a CIA planted instigator propped up to loot Ukriane for Biden and the globalists and is trying to escalate the war and produce as many casualties as possible, civilian or military , while Russia is showing restraint and trying to establish peace .
WAR sucks
Biden and the EU /NATO SUCKS
anyone who supports this Ukraine gangster Proxy war by the US /Biden vs Russia war is an ignorant unhuman war monger
makes this a sad 4th of July for me when I know my government is evil and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
they even took away our ability to vote for sanity
I cringe when I see a US flag now
So when do you leave? I want to be sure you go, given that massive pack of lies you dropped.
