Kupiansk-Svatove Direction: Advances by the Russian Armed Forces in Several Sectors

Situation as of 3:00 PM on September 12, 2024

For a long time, the Kupiansk-Svatove direction was considered a static part of the front line, but after the "Kursk adventure" by the AFU and the start of the offensive by the Russian Armed Forces in the DPR, some activation of the line of contact occurred here as well.

And although the position of the Ukrainian formations in this direction remains relatively stable for now, the Russian troops continue to methodically expand the zone of control, preparing for further offensive.

▪️After the liberation (https://t.me/rybar/63353) of Synkivka, assault teams of the Russian Armed Forces began fighting in the forest area southwest of the village. Clearing this area will allow the Russian troops to create a bridgehead three kilometers north of Kupiansk and develop an offensive on Petropavlivka.

In the latter, the Russian Aerospace Forces almost daily strike at the enemy's objects. Just in the last two days, objective control footage has confirmed the destruction of the AFU's temporary deployment points in the settlement.

▪️To the south, the advance of Russian troops is recorded in the area of Pishchane: according to video from the enemy's side, units of the Russian Armed Forces managed to occupy several forest belts to the west and north of the village. At the same time, west of Pishchane, a powerful strike was delivered with 15 air bombs with JDAM on AFU objects in Kolesnikove.

Apparently, this may indicate both the intentions of further advance of the Russian troops to the left bank of the Oskol River, and the detection of a relatively large concentration of enemy forces in the settlement.

▪️Ukrainian formations still maintain control over at least part of Berestove and the surrounding forest belts. At the same time, to the south, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces were able to advance about a kilometer west.

The enemy actively uses drones with a device for spraying an incendiary mixture over the positions of Russian troops in forest areas. Only according to the footage of the last few days, such drones were spotted west of Lyman Pershyi, south of Berestove and in the area of Pishchane. Nevertheless, similar incendiary drones have already appeared (https://t.me/rybar/63431) with Russian UAV operators as well.

Oleksandrivka-Kalynove direction: fighting in the Dzerzhynsk agglomeration and advances in Nelepoivka

situation as of 5:00 pm on September 12, 2024

Russian forces continue to break through the Ukrainian defense in the Dzerzhynsk agglomeration. Russian Armed Forces units are conducting assault operations in the dense urban area, getting closer and closer to the center of Dzerzhynsk.

▪️ Almost the entire Druzhba district, except for the northernmost street, has come under the control of Russian troops. Simultaneously with the liberation of Druzhba, the battles in Kirovo are approaching their logical conclusion, where several streets on the western outskirts remain under the control of the AFU: Russian forces have entrenched themselves on Shcherbynivska Street, 3rd Internatsionalu and Chaikovskoho Streets.

After their capture, it will be possible to advance both further along the railway towards Dachnyi, and to the southwest, taking the enemy garrison in Dzerzhynsk in a "pincer" from the flank.

▪️ To the south, fighting is underway in Dzerzhynsk. Russian troops have taken control of Microdistrict No. 1 at the entrance to the city, occupied the territory of the correctional colony and the local bakery. At the same time, there is no information yet about the occupation of positions on the slag heap of the Novaya mine. Control over the height will provide an overview of the adjacent forest to the southwest of the mine.

▪️ The Ukrainian command has redeployed the 12th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov" to the Novhorodske (New York) area. The reinforcing Ukrainian formations immediately posted footage of their work online, thanks to which it was possible to establish that Russian troops control (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/6674) at least 60% of Nelepoivka.

Another notable event of the week was the confrontation of "flag-dropping" on the territory of the phenol plant elevator in Novhorodske. First, Ukrainian formations from the 53rd Mechanized Brigade posted footage of their flag attached to a magnet. Then the Russian troops published a moment of dropping the flag from an FPV drone (https://t.me/ZParaBellumMD/10844) in the same place.

Later, another video appeared, this time from the ground, where a fighter was installing a flag (https://t.me/RtrDonetsk/26933) on one of the outermost houses at the exit from Novhorodske. At the moment, the village is fully under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

" We are talking about making a decision on NATO's direct participation in the military conflict in Ukraine" - Putin commented for the first time on the West's decision to launch long-range strikes deep into Russia

The President commented on talk in the West about the desire to officially allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike at Russian territory with long-range weapons. Vladimir Putin said that an attempt to substituting concepts is currently underway, because it is not about allowing or prohibiting the Kyiv regime from striking at Russian territory — the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already attacking targets in our country using UAVs. But, according to Putin, when it comes to weapons of great importance, it is a completely different story.

"Ukraine itself cannot strike with modern high-precision systems of Western-made big data. It cannot do this, this is only possible using intelligence data from satellites, which Ukraine does not have. This is data from satellites of the European Union and the United States," Putin said.

The President stressed that if this decision is made, it will mean direct participation of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine, and this will mean that they are fighting Russia. Russia, as Putin noted, will make retaliatory decisions in accordance with the threats that will be created for us.
