Daily Report from the Ukraine Field for 2022-09-19
News, Telegram, and Twitter Articles
A frontline summary for previous day, by the evening of 18 September
While the Russian social network VKontakte has banned any fundraising on its pages that is "in any way related to military action", saying it does not agree with the rules of their platform, contact the official charity funds - our soldiers will go to the very end and fight the enemy for all the women, children and old people killed and maimed, for all the houses destroyed and lives mangled. To the end, with a shield or on a shield, for victory.
⚔️The situation on the fronts in the 24 hours that have passed:
▫️In the Izyum-Slavic direction. Information has emerged that the enemy, having failed to make a direct break into Krasny Liman, is trying to outflank it - and is rushing into the strategically important village of Dibrova.
▫️On the Artemivsk (Bakhmut) direction today, during the fighting for Veselaya Dolina, near Artemivsk, our "orchestrators" seized an important energy facility nearby - the Donbasskaya substation. This is one of the key facilities for supplying electricity to the northern regions of Donbas.
▫️In the Donetsk direction, information continues to come in that there is fighting in Krasnohorivka. It is an important settlement and its liberation should push the AFU artillery further away from Donetsk.
Terrorist attack - there was an explosion in Melitopol - Vladimir Rogov said that the explosive device had been placed in a rubbish bin, damaging a civilian car that was passing by at the time. Apparently, there was an attempted terrorist attack, but it failed - no one was hurt.
Arrivals - today was another terrible day for Donetsk, Makiivka, Yasynuvata, and Horlivka. In the capital of the republic - 9 were wounded, in Horlivka - 5 were dead, 3 wounded, in Makiivka - 1 wounded. And again the militants shelled the very colony in Olenivka, where their prisoners of war, including "Azov" prisoners, are imprisoned - 1 prisoner was killed, 4 wounded. They also fired on Volnovakha - 1 wounded. In Zaporizhzhya Oblast, Kuybyshevo village was shelled - a five-story building came under fire, fortunately, there were no casualties. Kherson, where a humanitarian aid center was most likely targeted, was also under fire, with Novaya Kakhovka.
Calibers. Our airborne forces again struck the Slavyansk TPP in Mykolayivka it is out of action. There, as well as in Kramatorsk, they hit the Kraken and PMC Academy strongholds. In Kharkiv, an ammunition depot of the 14th AFU brigade was bombed.
In the world - the conflict between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan continues to escalate - there the Tajiks blew up a 36-meter bridge and burned down houses in the border village. The Russian President telephoned the heads of state today and urged them to avoid escalation. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, who has arrived in Yerevan, says the US is ready to help Armenia.
Of interest, Russia has begun targeting Ukrainian artillery, including imported artillery. The kamikaze drones Geranium, originally Iranian Shahid-136s, are being used for this purpose. At the same time, it is increasingly being written about military transport planes arriving in Moscow from Iran.

‼️South Ukraine nuclear power plant shelled - missile falls 300m from nuclear reactors, - Enerhoatom
Ukrainian propaganda accuses Russia: "On 19 September at 00:20 the Russian Armed Forces fired a missile at the industrial zone of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant.
The powerful explosion took place just 300 metres from the PAES reactors. The shock wave damaged the NPP buildings, breaking more than 100 windows. One of the hydropower units at Aleksandrovska HPP, which is part of the South Ukraine Energy Complex, shut down. Three high-voltage power lines were also knocked out.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Situation in the #PosadPokrovskoye sector at 12:30 on 19 Sep 2022⚡️
After several unsuccessful attempts by the AFU to storm Russian positions, the situation on the front line has not changed significantly.
Ukrainian Forces have shifted to positional defence and restoring combat capabilities, while reinforcements are moving in and their offensive capability is being expanded. Artillery duels on the line of contact continue.
▪️ A Stugna missile defence system is deployed near #Lyubomirovka and a MANPADS launch group is deployed in #Mirnoye to protect ground forces from air strikes.
▪️ An Ukrainian SRG (Saboteur Reconnaissance Group) is operating in the area southwest of Ternovye Pody using an off-road vehicle. An Ukrainian drone reconnoitres Russian Forces' positions on the Mirnoye-Lyubomirovka line.
▪️ A advanced ammunition depot has been set up in #Luch, from which the Ukrainian forces in Posad-Pokrovskoye are supplied with ammunition.
▪️ In the advanced positions of the Ukrainian Forces in the direction of Ternovye Pody, personnel are being exchanged before another offensive attempt, and minefields are being cleared by pioneer-sapper near #Mirnoye.
▪️ In addition, more AFU units have been moved from #Nikolaev to #Pribugskoye to conduct an attack on the #Pravdino-#Znamenka line.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Battle for #Kherson: On the likely Goals of the AFU Actions⚡️
The AFU command does not give up its plans to regain control of the #Kherson region - at least the part located on the northern bank of the Dnipro River. And observing the directions of transfer of Ukrainian reinforcements, the systematic squeezing of the Russian Armed Forces' defence in certain areas and information from the field, the outlines of the approximate nature of the Ukrainian formations' actions on the southern front are being outlined.
Simultaneously with the intensification of pressure at the #Aleksandrovka, #PosadPokrovskoye, #Andreevka and #Olgino sectors in #Ochakovo, a grouping of the AFU is being formed whose task will be to take control of the #Kinburnskaya Spit.
▪️ The #Ochakovo district's coastline is being used for training of sabotage and reconnaissance teams at night and practicing landing in rubber boats.
▪️ According to the plan of action, SRGs (Saboteur Reconnaissance Groups) in rubber boats are to seize a bridgehead on the territory of the reserve and provide a platform for the transfer of airborne and maritime landing troops.
▪️ At least two battalion-tactical groups are planned to land on the Kinburnskaya Spit. Up to six helicopters of army aviation, two river divisions of the Dnipro Flotilla, missile boats from #Odessa equipped with Harpoons, and naval landing assets of the Army's 35th and 36th Commando Branches will be deployed for this purpose.
However, judging by the reports from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, they are well aware of the AFU's plans. And certain steps are being taken.
▪️ One of the Mi-8 helicopters deployed to Ochakovo was destroyed on 13 September.
▪️ On 16 September, the training base of the Ukrainian operational command "South", where Ukrainian SRGs were being trained, was taken out of action.
But so far this is not enough.
The Ukrainian plan will only be successful if it succeeds in overloading the Russian Armed Forces' defences in the #Nikolaev-#KrivoyRog direction - at least at three sites.
At the same time, it is planned to disable Russian rear facilities and control points in #Kherson, #Berislav and Novaya Kakhovka, as well as to destroy Russian crossings over the #Dnipro River.
A strike in the #Lugansk direction will most likely follow at the same time to divert the attention of "fire teams" and "mobile reserves".
The AFU command seriously considers the scenario of a dash to #Armyansk and cutting off the communication with #Crimea. But in our view, this is impossible in the current configuration of the front. However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to reach the destroyed Antonovsky bridge from the south near #Oleshki.
And even if such an operation lasts only half a day and both battalion tactical groups of the AFU are completely destroyed, it can hardly be considered a success.
The demonstration of an AFU presence south of #Kherson, as well as the shelling of the regional centre from the southern shore, will have a detonating bomb effect in Ukrainian and Western media space.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Situation in the #Andreevka Sector at 14:00 on 19 Sep 2022⚡️
▪️ On the afternoon of 18 September, two Ukrainian SRGs (Saboteur Reconnaissance Groups) of the 24th Brigade attempted to entrench themselves in the area of #Karlomarksovsky and #Bezymennoye south-east of Sukhoy Stavok.
The artillery of the Russian Forces struck massively at the militants of the 24th AFU Brigade before they withdrew to positions 5 km northwest of #Bezymennoye.
▪️ Due to rising water in the river, servicemen of the 24th AFU Brigade were cut off from the north bank of the #Ingulets River.
Units of the 808th AFU Regiment deployed five pontoons with KrAZ-255 vehicles south of #Bereznegovatoye to restore communications to the left bank of the #Ingult, but are under constant fire from Russian Forces.
▪️ However, communications have not been completely cut off. In #Novogrednevo and Malaya Seydeminukha, soldiers of the 18th Regiment of the 35th Infantry Regiment and the 46th Division of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in #Belogorka were supplied with ammunition as well as several ATGMs.
▪️ Assault units of the 46th AFU detachment on several BMPs and Turkish Kirpi armoured personnel carriers have advanced towards Davydov Brod. Ukrainian forces are probably planning to flank the Russian contingent in the settlement.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in #Zaporozhye Direction at 16:00 on 19 Sep 2022⚡️
The AFU are gathering forces for a counterattack in certain parts of the front. On 16 September, a meeting was held in #Zaporozhye with the command staff of the Dnipro force grouping to discuss plans for an attack.
▪️ The #Orekhov and Gulyay Pole areas were selected as the main directions for the attack. The AFU also intend to carry out an offensive on the #Kamenskoye-#Vasilyevka line to divert attention.
▪️ As part of preparations, UAV reconnaissance teams of the 44th Separate Infantry Brigade are actively reconnoitring the positions of the Russian Forces. Several units of armoured vehicles, including the YPR-765 BMP, have been deployed to #Novoyakovlevka.
▪️ Engineer-sapper teams of the 65th AFU Brigade are clearing the terrain in the areas of the planned offensive after several pieces of equipment were undermined during the last offensive attempt.
▪️ Mutual fire continues along the contact line. At the same time, Ukrainian forces have stepped up their use of Tochka-U rocket launchers on the rear facilities of Russian forces.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Donetsk Direction at 18:00 on 19 Sep 2022⚡️
Ukrainian commanders are attempting to halt the advance of allied forces in the #Avdeevka sector as they continue shelling civilian facilities in the #Donetsk agglomeration.
▪️ In an attempt to halt the advance of Allied Forces into the defence lines, the AFU is shelling Donetsk, Yasynuvata, Sladkoye, Maryinka, Peski and Staromikhailovka indiscriminately.
▪️ Ukrainian formations have regularly counter-attacked (up to five per day) on #Maryinka and #Peski in recent days. During the fighting, the AFU's 115th Brigade and others suffer significant losses of personnel and equipment, with virtually nothing achieved.
▪️ The command of the Donetsk AFU grouping withdrew the remaining units of the 115th Brigade to Novoselidovka, where mobilised civilians also arrived. The surviving members of the 115th Brigade, together with the reserve, will be transferred to the 56th Infantry Brigade. Their accelerated training will be conducted on the training grounds in Sukhikh Yalakh and Druzhkovka.
▪️ The Donetsk Brigade will be equipped with 155 mm long-range artillery, including M109 self-propelled howitzers and CAESARs, to hold the lines it occupies.
▪️ In the frontline #Ugledar, Ukrainian Forces are expecting an offensive by Allied Forces near #Pavlovka with further access to #Ugledar. Reconnaissance drones are deployed to monitor the movements of Russian troops.
