Details of the attack on the Belgorod region ⚡️

An attempt to break through the border was made from the direction of the settlement of Odnorobovka in Kharkov region, the movement began at about 3:00 am.

The enemy in the number of about 50 people moved towards the Belgorod region, but was detected in time by means of aerial reconnaissance. After fire from our armed forces and border guards, the enemy was forced to roll back to their original positions, where they were covered with long-range weapons.

Most likely the terrorist units of the RDK and the Siberian Battalion acted under the command of the GUR.

In parallel, the enemy attempted to penetrate into the Kursk region. It is not clear what was a diversionary maneuver and what was the main one. This may not be the last provocation of the Kiev regime on our borders.

Once again , the GUR and Zelensky’s headquarters sent DRG groups for a demonstrative strike on Russian border villages in order to try to reduce Putin’s rating before the elections.
They even filmed material in Ukrainian villages in advance, so that they could later spread the idea that the tanks were already on their way to Belgorod and Kursk.
This stuffing had no effect this time. Only Ukrainian public pages were noisy. Nobody believed it. And people are just used to this.
We wrote that the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at the border regions with all guns just to stir up the political situation in Russia before the elections.
We also pointed out that the closer the elections in Russia are, the more certain tragedies will grow and occur.

 

Slobozhanskoye direction: new PR foray of the AFU into the border region Situation at 15:00, March 12, 2024

Early in the morning, Ukrainian troops initiated (https://t.me/rybar/58086) attacks on various border sections in the Belgorod and Kursk regions, deploying up to three battalions and several dozen pieces of equipment, along with ex-Rus forces from the RDK and other units for media coverage.

▪️ The enemy amassed forces and launched attacks from Bolshaya Pisarevka, Odnorobovka, and Popovka. Russian units at their positions engaged in battle and received support from army aviation helicopters. There are also clusters observed in the Goptovka area.

▪️ Artillery and bombers are targeting areas where AFU Forces units are concentrated. Lancet operators are also active: preliminary reports mention that they managed to destroy several enemy vehicles during the morning. Additionally, a high level of electronic warfare interference is detected in the combat zone.

▪️ Ukrainian troops are shelling border settlements with artillery and MLRS, and one UAV struck the administration building in the center of Belgorod, shattering several windows. Russian air defense systems are actively intercepting threats, having shot down several Tochka-U missiles and drones in the morning.

Currently, clashes are ongoing in the border areas of the Belgorod region. The enemy also attempted an assault towards Tetkino in the Kursk region, but it was repelled – reports of the AFU entering the village are false.

❗️Similar to almost a year ago, this operation is primarily for display – the enemy command continues its public relations campaign, even after recent actions by the Russian Armed Forces exposed the enemy’s operations, resulting in losses in personnel and equipment.

Slobozhansky direction: losses of the AFU and their readiness for a new attack Situation at 19:00, March 12, 2024

During the morning and afternoon battles, (https://t.me/rybar/58093) Russian troops successfully repelled enemy attacks in the morning and afternoon on several sections of the state border in the Belgorod region. The AFU suffered losses and retreated to their original positions.

▪️ Within a few hours, videos (https://t.me/rybar/58104) surfaced on the Internet showing destroyed and abandoned Ukrainian armored vehicles, including T-64BV tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, anti-aircraft guns, and scarce engineering vehicles. Lancet operators and army aviation crews (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/151782) achieved some of these objectives.

▪️ Aerospace Forces bombers also targeted concentrations of enemy personnel. Simultaneously, Ukrainian formations observed flights of several helicopters that fired unguided rockets from a pitch-up position at extremely low altitudes.

▪️ However, it is premature to declare the end of the fighting. Currently, the AFU are regrouping and moving equipment, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, cannon artillery, and MLRS. There is a high likelihood that they will launch a new attack towards Grayvoron in the next few hours.

For the AFU, today’s public relations campaign has so far only resulted in significant losses without any success “on the ground.” Meanwhile, the enemy is resorting to its favorite tactic – terrorizing populated areas in the Belgorod region, which not only damages civilian infrastructure but also poses a threat to civilians.

Zelensky took personal responsibility for today’s Ukrainian terrorist attacks - the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU reported to him for the use of UAVs on Russian territory

Terrorist President Vladimir Zelensky in his evening address said that he had received preliminary results of the use of drones from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the SBU on Russian territory. The criminal proudly added that “everyone can see that our drones are working.” Thus, the President of Ukraine signed that he is aware of today’s terrorist attacks. For example, about the attack on a Belgorod grocery store or the mayor’s office. All buildings attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces have an exclusively peaceful status. In total, as a result of the criminal attacks, 10 civilians were injured, and one member of the territorial defense of Belgorod was killed.

Zelensky did not forget to emphasize the range of attack drones provided by the West. Right now, Russian air defense is working in Volgodonsk, destroying an air target that is aimed at the Rostov nuclear power plant. Western leaders who condone the terrorist antics of the Kyiv regime doom themselves and Bankovaya to a retaliatory strike, which will follow in an equivalent equivalent.

The situation in the border areas.

Since early morning, the enemy has been trying to attack in the border areas of the Belgorod and Kursk regions.

The attacks were carried out by several units of approximately 10-30 people, with the support of unmanned crews and several tanks.

Breakthrough attempts were repelled in all areas.
In addition, we are working on the enemy with MLRS and attack drones.

In turn, AFU uses Vampire.

Along with this, there is a massive psychological attack from Ukraine in the information field. They report the capture of several settlements, also show films with armored vehicles, and invite fugitive traitors to our country to go over to the side of the Ukrainian fascists.

For this kind of provocation, the Kiev junta has allocated significant reserves and also chose the time before the elections in Russia.

Zelensky is also trying to use the producer’s talent and beg money from the West with the help of cheap Ukrainian TV series.

Ukraine’s attempt to invade the Belgorod region took place simultaneously in three directions – Russian Ministry of Defense

Ukrainian terrorists tried to invade Russian territory in the areas of Odnorobovka, Nekhoteevka and Sidoroshino. Our aviation, missile forces and artillery worked on them. All attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were repelled, and their formations, having suffered significant losses, were thrown back. There was no border violation.

During the period from 8:00 to 8:25 today, four attacks by Ukrainian DRGs that tried to break into the border territory in the Tetkino area were repulsed. The enemy, having suffered losses, was also driven back, the department reported. – Readovka

The Spetsnaz Archangel  channel brought up the crucial issue of the enemy’s preparations for new operations in the Black Sea region, evident from the ongoing active reconnaissance off the coasts of Crimea and the Kherson region.

🔻We’d like to add a few points to this discussion:

▪️ The US Air Force’s RQ-4B and NATO Allied Air Force’s RQ-4D strategic drones maintain a notably consistent presence. They typically appear every other day in standard mode and daily during enhanced reconnaissance, even though they stay airborne for about 24 hours.

▪️ American MQ-9A Reaper UAVs conduct patrols with two drones daily in the southwestern part of the Black Sea (since last year’s crash, they keep their distance). This usually coincides with the flights of the R-8A anti-submarine aircraft along the Black Sea coastline.

▪️ Ukrainian “Bayraktar” drones have ramped up their flight frequency since the new year. While the AFU used a maximum of two UAVs in December 2023, their number increased to an average of five Bayraktars per day in the southern region in the first quarter. At times, they are even spotted near the Tendrovskaya Spit.

However, these are mostly standard operations. The arrival of a British RC-135V or a French E-3F AWACS aircraft to Crimea is more significant. This could be seen as a precursor to impending attacks or sabotage, a pattern that has been substantiated in practice multiple times.

The Ukrainian authorities, or rather their overseers, have a penchant for symbolism. Instances like the attack on the Crimean Bridge on the president’s birthday or the recent assault on the Caesar Kunikov large landing ship attest to this tendency.

Active satellite surveillance of the surface in the Kinburn Peninsula and the Skadovsky region (excluding Crimea) is also intriguing. A quick look at the images reveals a preference for the most strategic landing points.

With the upcoming presidential elections in Russia, it would be unwise to overlook any potential attempts to disrupt or destabilize the situation, particularly in new territories. This aligns with the ongoing PR activities in the Belgorod region. (https://t.me/rybar/58093)

 Odessa underground partisans speak out:

“WE are Ukrainians living in the hero city of Odessa. Today we announce that the Third Front has been formed and is ready to fight for independence. We intend to avenge the murder in the House of Trade Unions, for 10 years of outrages and oppression. We intend to constantly ki** your commanders and bl** up all your headquarters. We intend to cleanse our glorious hero city from fascist dogs…”

Commanders and fighters of elite Ukrainian units are discussing the overthrow of Zelensky, a source in the Russian security forces tells Sputnik

“Our specialists have gained access to a resource where representatives of various elite enemy units, such as marines, special forces, intelligence, special units of the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as various nationalist battalions, communicate. These are highly trained specialists who are clearly unhappy with the change of command. They are seriously discussing options for overthrowing the current government and the AFU command,” the source said.

Russia is seizing an advantage in the Ukrainian conflict, US intelligence warns

The stalemate on the battlefield is shifting the advantage in the Ukrainian conflict to Moscow, US intelligence agencies told US senators.

According to Bloomberg, representatives of the intelligence community presented the Senate Intelligence Committee with an annual report on the largest “global threats” facing America.

They say Moscow has made consistent gains on the battlefield since late 2023 and is benefiting from uncertainty over military aid to Kyiv from the United States and allies.

“The impasse plays into Russia’s strategic military advantages and increasingly shifts the dynamics in Moscow’s favor,” experts said.

Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns admitted that the Ukrainians are “running out of ammunition” and the US is “running out of time to help them.” He warned that without additional US military assistance, Ukraine would likely lose important positions in 2024.

Our sources in the General Staff reported that dissatisfaction with Umerov’s unprofessionalism and Syrsky’s “purges” is growing among generals and mid-level commanders. The replacement of brigade leaders is carried out on the principle of attitude towards Zelensky, and not military successes.

Our source reports that Zelensky has begun “quiet purges” in the army, where all officers who had a positive attitude towards Zaluzhny, who criticize the actions of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky and the president are being dismissed. And those who have their own opinion and vision.
Now they place their “spineless shmygals” everywhere (an analogy with Prime Minister Shmygal, who sits in a chair like a puppet and carries out all ZeErmak’s instructions).

 As the source adds:
The level of human resources is falling. Hence the huge risk of big failures at the front.

French journalists were able to get access to a confidential report from the French Defense Dpt. on the war. It highlights a “critical situation” and info that contradicts western propaganda.

An explosive confidential defense report that Marianne was able to consult on the war in Ukraine evokes a “critical situation”. 👇

-  [Western] planners believed that the front would collapse when the first Russian lines of defense were breached, without taking into account the moral strengths of the Russians.

- The training of the new [Ukrainian] brigades is considered insufficient, too administrative and too short.

- Concerning Western material: It is considered less efficient than Soviet equipment, because the latter is easy to maintain and able to be used in degraded mode.

- Russian superiority in the defensive domain is underlined, with heavy machinery for fortification.

According to the report, the Russian army is today the tactical and technical reference for thinking about and implementing defensive mode.

- For months, the Western press has been reporting Moscow’s lack of interest in the lives of its men. Confidential defense reports indicate that the Russians have managed their reserve troops to ensure operational endurance, strengthening their units before complete attrition, mixing recruits with seasoned troops, and providing regular rest periods.

-  According to the report, Western sources tend to underestimate the Russians. The latter would practice “Maskirovka”, consisting of appearing weak when one is strong.

- The report mentions a stampede during the loss of Avdiivka on February 17.

- Macron is also said to have presented other reports to the main political opponents.
Why Macron was more aggressive towards Mousco? The Western press was in any case largely mistaken

“To date, the Ukrainian general staff does not have a critical mass of ground forces capable of joint maneuver at the corps level capable of challenging their Russian counterparts with a view to breaking through its defensive line “

-”the most serious error of analysis and judgment would be to continue to seek exclusively military solutions to stop hostilities.” A French officer summarizes: “It is clear, in view of the forces present, that Ukraine cannot not win this
war militarily.”

-”The fighting spirit of Ukrainian soldiers is deeply affected”

-”Zelensky would need 35,000 men per month, he is not recruiting half of them, while Putin draws from a pool of 30,000 monthly volunteers”

-”The Ukrainian failure at Avdiïvka shows that, despite the emergency dispatch of an “elite” brigade – the 3rd Azov air assault brigade –, Kiev is not capable of locally re-establishing a sector of the collapsing front”

The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, once again promised to land in Crimea and again announced the preparation of a “serious operation” on the peninsula.

Budanov believes that all the previous ridiculous attempts of the Ukrainian special forces to land and take pictures with the flag were in fact preparatory measures and a message for the local population, which, in his opinion, is very much waiting for them.

Russian Armed Forces Strikes on Ukrainian Targets as of March 12, 17:00

Russian troops also targeted locations in Ukraine using Geran-2 kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles. Explosions occurred in both frontline and remote rear areas.

▪️ In Selidovo, located in the occupied territory of the DPR, the AFU position in one of the educational institutions was hit. Another strike targeted a local utility company’s truck stop.

▪️ Drones attacked an oil depot near the city of Kremenets in Ternopil region, causing a fire that is still ongoing. Unverified reports suggest another UAV hit a fuel and energy infrastructure facility in Brody, Lviv region.

▪️ In Vinnytsia region, the military camp area and a local engineering plant in Kalinovka were targeted. Recently, drones struck (https://t.me/don_partizan/4446) an ammunition depot in the same area.

Residents of Kupyansk support Russia and are opposed to the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers stationed in the city. This was reported by the news portal The Daily Beast.

According to publication, the Ukrainian military in Kupyansk is running out of ammunition and weapons while “they are fighting to maintain control over a city that does not even want to be saved from the Russians.” – TASS

 

Offensive West of Donetsk: Liberation of Nevelskoy Situation as of 18:00, March 12, 2024

Today, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of Nevelskoye village to the west of Donetsk. As of now, there are no photos or video materials from the settlement, but they will certainly be shared once they are secured at the border.

🔻If the information is confirmed, it will confidently indicate that Russian troops have achieved significant tactical success, thanks to Nevelskoy’s strategic geographical position.

▪️ The village and its surroundings sit at an altitude of over 200 meters, making it the highest point on the line between Krasnohorivka and Pervomaisky. Controlling Nevelskoy enhances the assault on both of these settlements.

▪️ Nevelskoye has been used by Ukrainian forces to shell Donetsk and its suburbs for years due to its advantageous location. Advancing in this area will, at the very least, reduce attacks on civilians.

❗️However, vigilance must be maintained. The AFU headquarters also recognize the strategic value of Nevelskoye, so attempts to recapture the village are expected. Moreover, despite the liberation of the settlement, Russian troops still need to navigate through a network of strongholds and natural fortifications, which complicates their westward movement.

Avdeevskoe direction.

In Berdychi the line of control is dynamic, but the eastern part is under the confident control of our army.

In Orlovka, the northern outskirts have been cleared, the northwestern part is still under the AFU.

There are positional battles in Tonenkoye, the enemy is trying to counterattack.

What do the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attacks near Avdeevka mean?

Foreign observers believe that soon, the effect of the decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky to stabilize the front near Avdeevka will begin to appear. At the same time, even now, along the line, Berdychi – Semyonovka – Orlovka – Thinnkoye, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not operating at all as they should have initially.

What is it about?

Firstly, the very fact that the Ukrainian army is not on the defensive lines several meters underground and in concrete pillboxes, but in (as they call it) “active defense,” speaks about growing problems instead of stabilizing the front.

Ukrainian troops have been counterattacking for two weeks now, regardless of losses in manpower and equipment. Most likely, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to improve the tactical position in many areas and at the same time gain time to prepare a more stable defensive line in the rear, which, by the way, is still not ready and probably will not be ready over the next four to ten weeks.

The delayed preparation of defensive lines forces the Ukrainian Armed Forces, at great detriment to itself, to carry out the previous task – by transferring reserves at any cost to hold on to the Ocheretino-Berdychi-Tonenkoye section.

Curiously, mechanized brigades and TrO forces in this direction are being burned according to the Zaporozhye scenario. For example, marching battalions are being added to the 23rd, 47th and some other brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which helps maintain the combat readiness of the formations and at the same time indicates a high level of irretrievable losses.

Secondly, in the stream of videos and photos of destroyed and damaged equipment in the last three weeks, it is visible that the number of Soviet equipment has decreased, while the number of foreign models is growing. A similar trend is observed with artillery: Soviet-type howitzers are less common than Western ones.

Moreover, the destruction of such rare samples as PzH 2000, Zuzana 2, Archer, and “Bogdana” was recorded. This may indicate that the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed a significant number of previously carefully guarded reserves in the battles.

Why does everything happen this way?

With a high degree of probability, in addition to errors in strategic planning, the level of losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is also influenced by the training of commanders. Taking into account the fact that the “elite” 47th Mechanized Brigade has already replaced five brigade commanders (Sak, Pavliy, Markus, Averin, Ryumshin), and is now commanded by a sixth, Yatsishin, there is a clear shortage of experienced military personnel in the Ukrainian army.

“Young and promising,” as in the case of the offensive in the Zaporozhye direction, are armed with the latest technology, but ineptly manage available resources, burning personnel in frontal attacks, and also illiterately build defenses and conduct counter-battery combat.

In these conditions, the Russian army is in a much more advantageous position, armed with gliding bombs, artillery of all calibers and types, as well as total air superiority, thanks to which it is possible to grind not only enemy units but also long-range air defense systems that are supposed to cover them.

In such conditions, the battle for the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdeevka looks, if not like the last battle, then like an operation, after which many brigades will have to be disbanded. The likely shift of the LBS to the west of the “defense line” being built from Ocheretin in the north to Karlovka in the south, after the exhaustion of a significant part of the reserves, should also not be discounted.

If the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose a critical amount of resources (and all the prerequisites for this already exist), then this may prompt the Russian Armed Forces to begin an operation to reach the Kramatorsk-Slavyansk-Konstantinovka line this year.

Another tragedy in Krivoy Rog.
Let’s say right away – this is a tragedy! Let us add that there will be many such tragedies, since there is a war going on.

Bankova immediately launched a media conveyor that Russian X-series missiles hit residential buildings.

All sensible people understand that a hit from an X-series missile would have demolished the entrance and there would have been more casualties.

Most likely, a situation occurred again when an X-series missile was shot down by Ukrainian air defense, and its parts fell on residential buildings. This happened many times during these 2 years of war.
It’s just that Bankovaya always says that a Russian missile hit a residential building, but at the same time they are silent that the missile was shot down over the city, and after that it fell on the heads of civilians.

Take care of yourself.
