Russia-Ukraine Reports - 2023-07-19
"Get hit and retreat": the Ukrainian military spoke about the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The captain of the 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Alymov told how the clashes between the Ukrainian military and the Russians usually go: the former "get hit" and back away, while the latter crush.
"We have 10-15 brigades, all paratroopers, marines, MTR, GUR are connected to them, who really fight and really suffer losses. <...> We retreated 2.9 kilometers a month from Klinovoye. We were simply squeezed out "Alymov complained.
According to him, as a result of the onslaught of Russian troops, the Armed Forces of Ukraine had to retreat to the village of Vershina. But they were overtaken there too.
"Fights begin there - the whole story is the same. They fire, Grads fly, the infantry fights," the officer concluded.

@Rybar Reports: Svatovo-Kremennay Front (https://t.me/SLGmaps/353), as of July 18, 2023
🔻 After a successful assault on two strongholds on the dominant heights north-west of Novovodyanoye, Russian units have switched to a defensive posture. For the past two days, Ukrainian formations have been attacking the positions in an attempt to regain lost control.
Today, footage has appeared on the web confirming the control of the Russian Armed Forces over the area near Karamzinovka. Now Russian fighters are holding a circular defence. The AFU artillerymen are conducting a massive shelling, but the Russian Army is repelling the incoming attacks.
🔻 To the south, there are positional battles in the direction of Krasnopopovka, where the formations of the 411th battalion of the 141st reserve rifle brigade of the AFU shelled the strongholds of the Russian army using small arms.
🔻 At the Torskoe outpost, servicemen of the Russian Army are "probing" the enemy's defence, carrying out regular forays into the positions of the AFU. Similar low-intensity battles are observed in Serebryanskoye forestry.
Due to the increased activity of the Russian Armed Forces, the AFU command started the forced evacuation of citizens from Yampol in anticipation of a potential frontal breakthrough. Using artillery fire and UAV strikes, the AFU is trying to hold back the advance of the Russian Army.
In addition, a battalion-tactical group of the "Lyut" Assault Brigade was transferred to the vicinity of Zolotye Prudy. In total, about 600 people arrived with 12 Kirpi AFVs and 161 motor vehicles.
❗️For now, it is not clear where exactly the unit of the so-called "guard of the offensive" brigade will be sent. Earlier, the AFU command considered the option of engaging the brigade near Artyomovsk, but the complication of the situation in the Kremennay section may force the AFU to adjust its plans.
This is also indicated by the transfer of assault units of the 121st territorial defence brigade to Liman from the Kherson direction. The 121st territorial defence brigade was initially prepared for traversing the Dnepr river and striking at the Energodar section. Its appearance in the LPR was clearly not part of the initial plans of the Ukrainian leadership.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Attack of NATO armored vehicles near Orekhov was repelled, only corpses and burning Bradley infantry fighting vehicles remained
New attacks by the 47th and 65th brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the Kopani-Rabotino line on the Zaporozhye Front ended in failure
ATGM and artillery fire destroyed at least three American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and several other armored vehicles, killed and wounded up to three assault platoons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were trying to break through our defenses. The survivors fled back.
The battles have again moved into a positional phase, artillery is working on both sides. Also, ours are finishing off the remnants of the militants who fled to the landings.

A future AFU soldier tried to escape from Lvov military officers, but was caught up
The rampaging military officers visited Novoyavorovsk, where they made a show for the locals - several officers first twisted their victim, and when he tried to run away, they caught up with him and shoved him into a service car. As it has been known for a long time, the guy now has only one road - to the minefields of Zaporozhye. And it is quite possible that for the man from the video it is a one-way road.

The Ukrainian operational command "South" confirmed the destruction of a part of the critical loading infrastructure of the Odessa Sea Port at the site of the grain terminal and the terminal for loading vegetable oils. Several reservoirs have also been destroyed.
Destruction and fires followed direct hits from Russian Onyx and Kh-22 missiles.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation does not specify what was destroyed in Odessa, well, at least Ukrainian sources help us to do information work. The fact that the Ukrainians confirmed to the public the defeat of the infrastructure of the Odessa port and even made public a visual is such an informational and tactical device.
Say, Russians, you report, show the authorities and calm down: the target is hit.
That is why it is necessary to immediately repeat the strikes again on the Odessa seaport. And if necessary, then a third time. There are not many "Onyxes".

At night, a complex attack was delivered on Odessa using Caliber missiles and Geran kamikaze drones - target Ilichevsky sea port.
Friends! We have been waiting for this for a long time, hunting, and finally, it happened. The people's drone Ghoul attacked and destroyed the Ukrainian boat, on which he was transporting personnel to his bridgehead near the Antonovsky Bridge. The remaining 5 boats of the enemy quickly fled into their holes, without becoming tempted by fate.
What is remarkable about this combat use? And it is notable for the fact that the drone attacked in almost complete darkness. Thanks to the skillful hands of the Ural masters, now stings at night!
During a night attempt by the enemy to land on boats on Antonovsky Island in the area of the Antonovsky Bridge, a massive fire defeat was inflicted on the bridge area, up to 40 enemy personnel were destroyed.
Also, in recent days, artillery and drone pilots have destroyed several boats with troops in the area of the bridge.
Синяя Z борода (https://t.me/cmiye) reports a nighttime hit on a hotel in Koblevo, Nikolayev region, where the AFU was stationed, and there the count of killed soldiers passed the hundred mark indeed.
A source at the local hospital also says that due to the shortage of blood and the overcrowded hospital, wounded AFU members are dying right in the corridors before reaching the operating theatre.

A Skeptic's Best Guess On Final Map (Revised)
Our previous Best Guess was based on a political solution. It’s clear now that lives lost is not a factor. A political solution is now all but ruled out. The west wants to bleed Russia, without any particular strategy. The west will fight to the last Ukrainian Soldier and Polish Mercenary.

This war is awful. Every time I watch these videos, I imagine being one of those soldiers, knowing they're losing, but forced to roll their wheels and press their boots into mud wanting to become bloody. Fucking awful. I want this war to end.
