⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Nikolaev-#KrivoyRog direction: Situation at 13:00 on 13 Sep 2022⚡️
At the moment, the front line remains unchanged. The Ukrainian Forces are consolidating their positions and regrouping their forces before launching another offensive against Russian positions.
▪️ In the #Andreevka sector, the Ukrainian command is strengthening its defences in #Lozovoye in preparation for another attack on the Russian Armed Forces' positions. The main target area for the attack is #Bruskinskoye and #Kostromka to block the road links from Davydov Brod and Novaya Kakhovka.
Ukrainian howitzers and MLRS are firing a barrage at #Belogorka, while reinforcements are being moved to this section of the front.
More than 50 pieces of military equipment were moved to the vicinity of #Lozovoye via the crossings at Velikoye Artakovo, Belaya Krinitsa and #Ternovka.
Units of the 46th Army Airborne Forces are moving troops and clearing minefields in an area of one kilometre south of #Andreevka to the vicinity of Sukhoy Stavok.
▪️ In the Posad-Pokrovskoye section, a company of the 10th Battalion of the 59th Infantry Brigade, reinforced by two units of armoured vehicles, attempted an attack on Ternovye Pody. However, the artillery of the Russian Forces shelled the Ukrainian troops massively, whereupon the AFU retreated to theit initial positions.
To restore the combat efficiency of the brigade's units at the Krasnoye Znamya - Ternovye Pody line, personnel is being rotated, and a mechanized platoon has been moved to #Zarya.
In addition, five columns of military equipment have moved from the #Kulbakino area towards the line of contact.
In the next 24 hours, the offensive on Ternovye Pody and #Petrovskoye is expected to be ontinued by the 59th Infantry Brigade's BTGr and the 28th Army Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Despite the information in the social networks, the statements about the transition of #Kiselevka under the control of the AFU do not correspond to reality. Russian Forces are still defending the same positions there.
▪️ The #Snigirovka sector is relatively quiet. The AFU are not attempting any offensive.
▪️ There are no serious changes in the #Olgino sector. The AFU units are strengthening their defensive positions and preparing for further advance towards #Lyubimovka.
The Ukrainian command is deploying forward gunners in #Novoznesenskoye to shell Russian positions. Artillery and MLRS of the Ukrainian Armed Forces shell #Chereshneve, #Novovoskresenskoye, #Mirolyubovka and #Khreshenovka from the #Topolinoye area.
A company of the 97th Battalion of the 60th Infantry Division entrenched itself in a forest belt northwest of #Novoznesenskoye with the further aim of consolidating in the #Novopetrovka area.
Representatives of the British media arrived in the Ukrainian strongholds on this section of the front to spin staged reports about the "successful offensive" of the Ukrainian forces.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Donetsk Direction: Situation at 18:00 on 13 Sep 2022⚡️
The Ukrainian command continues to prepare for a counterattack on populated areas of the #Donetsk agglomeration. The expected launch date is 14 September at night.
▪️ Units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have received orders to prepare for an attack on allied positions in the direction of #Peski and #Maryinka. Ukrainian artillery and MLRS have intensified shelling of positions in these settlements and on the western outskirts of #Donetsk.
▪️ A trainload of military equipment and personnel has arrived at the railway station in #Pokrovskoye for an offensive in the #Donetsk direction.
▪️ Several mortar crews have been dispatched to reinforce the 79th divisional infantry battalion units in the #Maryinka sector, and soldiers from the 42nd battalion of the 57th infantry battalion have arrived in the #Peski direction.
▪️ Allied artillery shelled Ukrainian positions in #Kurdyumovka and #Mayorsk, causing AFU losses and withdrawing troops to reserve positions.
▪️ The enemy attempted a counterattack on the lost fortifications in the western part of #Donetsk from the direction of #Opytnoye with about 50 men, supported by light armoured vehicles. However, the AFU forces came under heavy artillery and mortar fire from the battalion "Somali" of the DPR People's Militia and had to retreat to their original positions with losses.
▪️ On 9 and 10 September, the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed around two thousand soldiers from the 53rd and 110th Brigades to the #Ugledar front section. The reason for the reinforcement is a planned counterattack in the direction of #Nikolskoye in the coming days.
As part of the preparations, the AFU formations are taking up positions at civilian infrastructure facilities in #Ugledar, while the engineer and sapper troops continue demining the terrain.
In doing so, the AFU is using its numerical superiority to disguise the real objective of the attack, thus dispersing the reserves of the allied forces to defend false attack sites.
