I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred seventy third day of the war.
Day 573: Sep 19
Today, there are a lot of updates from the Tokmak direction.
Here, the main clashes are taking place in front of Verbove. After Ukrainians conducted a series of assaults east of Robotyne, Ukrainians managed to push Russians out of the adjacent to the road trenches and widen the bridgehead. Ukrainians reportedly did not ramp up their offensive operation towards Kopani, and when they ensured that Russians no longer had any chance to establish direct fire control over the road, they reduced the level of activity to just positional fighting in order to channel resources toward achieving the main goal.
And indeed, as confirmed by the Russian forces, once Ukrainians secured the supply road, they resumed their attacks west of Verbove. Today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians conducted at least 3 assaults with the goal of finally entering the village of Verbove. Previously, geolocated footage of Russian artillery fire suggested that Ukrainians were already present on the western edge of the village, however, securing positions is not easy, as
Russians are constantly conducting counterattacks. Recently released footage by the Russian side shows exactly one of such Russian counterattacks – Russians break into the region under never-ceasing fire and assault Ukrainian positions in the trenches. As can be seen from the video, Russians did recapture several positions, however, the main trench network remained under Ukrainian control.
If we look at the map, we can see that this fight took place right on the doorstep of Verbove. It means that Ukrainians continue to advance and have just one more field of fortifications to clear to secure the whole southern flank. Even though the shown Russian counterattack was successful, other Russian counterattacks were rebuffed. Another footage from the region shows an abandoned burning tank that was shot down by a Ukrainian ATGM crew in the fields.
In the meantime, Ukrainians continued to advance along the second trench network in front of Verbove. Ukrainian fighters from the 15th Brigade recently released footage showing how they were capturing new positions in the area.
Right now, the main goal of the Ukrainian units on the contact line is to set conditions for a huge attack on Verbove, and the operation is in its final stages because combat footage is already showing reconnaissance-in-force assaults on the western edge of the village, and it also shows that Ukrainians have almost finished clearing the main line of fortifications that was supposed to prevent Ukrainians from conducting a flank attack.
Russian analysts claimed that Ukrainians already started preparing for the next big push. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians are gradually reinforcing the region with elements from the 71st Jager Brigade, 82nd Assault Brigade, and 46 Airmobile Brigade. Russians claimed that Ukrainians were accumulating these forces in the Chubenkova gully, somewhere in the center of the bridgehead. Having forces in such close proximity to the front line increases the chances of successful exploitation of the element of surprise because the probability that Russians notice and react on time to a massive assault is low.
On top of that, by keeping these forces right in the middle, Ukrainians create for Russians an unpleasant dilemma because the Russian defense line is breached not only near Verbove but in several places along the entire line. So, Russians must be prepared to face a big attack on Verbove, Novoprokopivka, between the two, and also near Kopani. Due to the uncertainty, Russians cannot concentrate their forces in one place and must spread them out thinly, decreasing the average level of defense.
Today, British Intelligence reported that Russians understood that even that was not enough and decided to relocate at least 5 more regiments from the 7th and 76th Airborne Divisions to Zaporizhzhia. Formally, this should mean around 10 thousand troops, however, the real number of forces is much lower.
Ukrainians are keeping their hand on the pulse and have already conducted a series of strikes on the main Russian logistical hubs and bases in the Zaporizhzhia region. The target of the first strike became Melitopol. Local residents reported hearing at least 5 explosions on the Russian bases.

Well, if you want to send your kids to India to fight, don’t ask for my help.
Greta never looked prettier.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
If the Indians can drive the Red Chinese into the Ganges, they’ll all die from cholera.
We can’t “send” our kids anywhere, if they are of age. Certainly not to war. That is their decision.
Your response is purely rhetorical, not analytic.
Long time no see.
Might be headed back to Nashville. Think I might retire.
Kept a home in Smyrna.
This isn’t a fight to put on America.
This is the NWO being carried out by OBAMA.
We have no business there.
Hey, there.
Probably better to just stay outside the Metro Nashville limits. Just elected a full on pro-criminal/ultra-Communist Mayor and ultra-Communist Council, most moonbat ever. The state gov’t is going to have to lean hard on these idiots before they officially turns us into Portland, San Francisco or Seattle. Scary times (and now we have to worry about these pro-Zelensky efftard trolls wanting to trigger WW3 trying to get us to fight Putin). Can’t get this leftist trash tossed off FR.
This is a global problem. Its a very old one. Its not a “NWO” fantasy. There really isn’t a “NWO” in the first place.
Its the old problem of imperialist urges among the great powers. This is why there was a treaty of Westphalia, a Congress of Vienna, a League of Nations, a UN, a NATO.
It’s the same old, same old. The problem is that “same old” becomes vastly destructive with modern technology. The US grand strategy since WW2 has been to prevent this @#%&, deter it, or oppose it early.
Nope. With you as a Filipino living in Spain, you should tend to your country’s issues there. We’re not playing these international war games anymore in America. We’re flat busted broke and massively in debt, with tens of millions of illegal invaders flooding in. That’s far more pressing than giving billions that we don’t have to a pervert midget dictator in Kiev who wants nukes.
“This is the NWO being carried out by OBAMA. We have no business there.”
I disagree with your opinion.
Don’t join those Freepers that are trying to censor opposing conservative political opinions. Even with their name-calling admit their attempts to label others: “Can’t get this leftist trash tossed off FR.”
I know Davidson is screwed but if I am retired maybe I can keep some balance in Rutherford.
It’s gonna take some work. I’m in Cabarrus now and it is still strong.
Hmm. I’m more “right” than you can ever be :)
The ancient Euro right was all about the Catholic Church, the divine right of Kings, etc. You lot that believes in voting, democracy and such rot, are just a lot of commies. I’m with De Maistre.
The entire concept of the US is a radical notion. Me, I’m for the revival of the Spanish Empire under the house of Bourbon, of which the US should be a viceroyalty (or several). And Catholicism should be the state religion. And that the Church needs to revive the inquisition.
You cannot get more right than that.
Listen, I do not want the US military in any involvement outside of NATO.
You are supporting a NATO involvement outside of law.
Stop killing people.
You are flat busted broke because of massive inefficiency in your systems and institutions. You are a country of over-fattened wastrels. And I mean that in the best way.
If you want to fix that, start with the regulations and legal system that make US medical costs ridiculous. Fixing that one thing, to Euro standards (and that has nothing to do with “single payer”) will give you a budget surplus. And then you can fix education. And then ... lots of easy targets.
I think you should tell the Russians that. If they went home you would have nothing to complain about.
I do not care what they do.
Not a USA problem unless you are trying to hide something.
I’d stick around in NC long enough to make sure Mark Robinson gets elected Governor there next year. ;-)
