Nationalists crawl like cockroaches in Zaporozhye and Donbass
The southern troop grouping in the Donetsk direction repulsed 9 attacks in the Avdiivka, Maryinka and Northern Kirovo areas in the DPR, destroying the ammunition depot of the 79th Airborne Infantry Division of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on two companies, one tank, seven infantry fighting vehicles, three armored vehicles, two pickup trucks, D-20 and “Msta-B” howitzers, the American AN/TPQ-50 radar. More than 120 militants, two tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles, two armored personnel carriers and one “Kozak” armored vehicle were put out of action in Kleshcheyevka. The grouping of troops “Center” in the Krasnolimansky direction repulsed the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Chervonaya Dibrov direction, mopping up more than 15 fighters, infantry fighting vehicles and one car. And on Nevsky, Torsky and Serebryanka, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to almost two companies, three armored vehicles, three pickup trucks, two D-30 howitzers and Gvozdika self-propelled guns. The grouping of troops “Vostok” in the South-Donetsk direction repulsed the attack of the assault detachment of the 35th Marine Brigade in the Urozhaynoye area, destroying up to 16 Ukrainian servicemen and two armored vehicles. In the Zaporozhye direction, the enemy’s losses are as follows: more than 280 nationalists, 25 tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, three armored vehicles, two cars, one Czech RM-70 Vampire MLRS, two British FH-70 howitzers . The western grouping of troops in the direction of Kupyansk destroyed more than 35 Ukrainian servicemen, three armored vehicles, four vehicles, one D-20 howitzer and one Gvozdika self-propelled gun. Air defense forces intercepted five HIMARS MLRS shells and 20 Ukrainian drones. By screws!
The British confirm the loss of a fifth of Western weapons
The Financial Times reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost a fifth of the equipment that the alliance supplied to kyiv for the offensive. The publication refers to data from Ukrainian and Western officials. According to the FT, the losses of the Ukrainian army during the counter-offensive turned out to be “large and early”. On July 27, Bloomberg and the NYT reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a “major mechanized counteroffensive operation” in the western part of the Zaporozhye region. Did anyone in kyiv and Washington feel better about this?
Zelensky played the commander-in-chief in Dnepropetrovsk
The sixth president of the independents ended up on July 27 in Dnepropetrovsk (Dnepr in Ukrainian). There Zelensky gave the order to strengthen the air shield. The independent commander-in-chief wrote on his TG channel: “We assess the effectiveness of using existing air defense systems and strengthening the air shield, taking into account future revenues.” Mykola Oleshchuk, Commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, read a report on this uplifting topic. The Ukrainian leader heard reports on the progress of offensive and defensive operations, on the supply of troops with ammunition. While the tragicomic played the commander-in-chief, his apartment in Yalta became the property of the Republic of Crimea. What, out of revenge, attacks again with bulk carrier drones?
Russian hockey coach thinks Latvia is tired of Ukraine
Vladmir Krikunov, the former coach of the Russian hockey team, said that after the start of the SVO, the attitude of those around him did not change. The Russian hockey coach said: “Many are tired of the situation with Ukraine. People are not stupid and understand how it all started. I have Latvian neighbors on one side and Russians on the other. As we used to live well with them, so we live.” He stressed that the attitude towards him has not changed in other countries where he worked: in Kazakhstan, Belarus and Slovenia. So there is a quarter of our former people.
High school found traces of explosives in the courts near the Crimean bridge
Traces of explosives were found in the hold of another dry cargo ship, which was traveling through the Kerch Strait from Turkey to Rostov-on-Don in search of grain. The FSB Public Relations Center believes that this vessel could have previously been used to deliver explosives on the territory of the square. In the cargo hold and on the surface of the lifeboat of the VMO River dry cargo ship, which was sailing from the Turkish port of Sinop to Rostov-on-Don, intelligence officers found traces of dinitrotoluene and TNT. In June and July 2023, this ship made two calls in the port of Reni in the Odessa region. And on July 22, the remains of explosives were also found in the hold of a foreign dry cargo ship, which was heading to the port of Rostov-on-Don to load grain. This is how they fight hunger in Africa.
In the Zaporozhye region they reject the possibility of “detonation of the ZNPP”
Volodymyr Rogov, Chairman of the Zaporozhye social movement “We are with Russia”, called the Ukrainian side’s statement about a possible explosion at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant a lie. This is how he reacted to the statement by the head of the independent Ministry of Energy Herman Galushchenko in an interview with Politico that the ZNPP reactor could detonate at any moment, since Kiev was completely disconnected from the security surveillance systems at the station. Rogov described this declaration as an element of psychological warfare and recalled that the IAEA representatives did not register such risks. Devastation, as always, in the minds.
The British do not hide the fact that they were developing plans for an “offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine”
James Hirshey, deputy head of Britain’s Defense Ministry, said London and Washington were involved in developing a counter-offensive plan for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And, according to him, the Ukrainian army justifies the expectations of the allies. Hirschi stated in an interview with the Telegraph: “In general, kyiv is carrying out the plan that they developed with us, the Americans and others last winter.” According to Hirschi, the Ukrainian command is exercising “due care” by not sending large numbers of Western military personnel and weapons to the battlefield. This deputy minister should be sent to Orekhov or Artemovsk, so the fifth point would be felt “proper caution.”
The port of Odessa lay on board
The equipment broke up in one of the ports near Odessa on the night of July 27. The operational command “South” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on social networks: “The production equipment of one of the cargo terminals was damaged. An explosion was recorded in the administrative building of the port. The infrastructure of one of the Ukrainian ports in the Odessa region on the Danube were also destroyed.” And less need to transport explosives in bulk carriers instead of grain.
At the Khmelnytsky airfield, guests from the east were not expected and did not ask
Yuriy Ignat, the Chairman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, admitted that last night, like the day before, he flew well at the Starokonstantinov military airfield in the Khmelnytsky region. Air defense units were unable to repel the attack. The Su-24s were based at this airfield, from which British Storm Shadow missiles are launched into the Crimea, Luhansk and other peaceful areas. There are several more such points – they are known and, as the ad sang, “and now we are flying to you!”.
