“Lnd-Lease Cemetery” is growing not only in the Zaporizhzhia direction but also in the Yakovlevka-Kurdyumovka section

In addition to putting pressure on the Vremievsky ledge, the ukrovermacht daily, with the stubbornness of a donkey, continues the “Bakhmut meat grinder”. According to a military expert, retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko, “the Artemovsk area remains the tensest sector on the line of contact in the zone of responsibility. Ukrainian militants have been trying to break through our defensive lines every day for the last time.”
Marochko is sure that in the course of active defense, Russian troops regularly inflict fire damage on the attacking formations of Ukrainian troops, causing them significant damage and reducing the potential for an offensive.
On the other side of the front, important statements are also being made about the renewed battle for Artemovsk. Independent Deputy Minister of Defense Hanna Malyar admitted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine planned their offensive operations taking into account “the fact of contradictions between Wagner and the current Russian authorities.”

As soon as it became known that Prigogine had entered Rostov-on-Don, the General Staff’s coming out ordered an attack on the “stronghold”, probably to “play along with the rebels.” And Malyar admitted for the first time that the city was still completely abandoned by the defenders of independence. Consequently, her previous statements about the battles in the “Airplane” area turned out to be ordinary nonsense.
“Our defenders are advancing daily on the flanks. Gradually but surely. As of today, they have not entered Bakhmut, ”she says. Then the “stupid chicken” (that’s what it is called in Ukraine with the light hand of Shariy ) suffered. It turns out that it is very difficult for the troops to move in this direction because the Armed Forces of Ukraine have reliably strengthened it for defense, but now these fortifications and strongholds have been occupied by the Russian army.
It looks like the propagandists are coming out already laying straw in case of failure. According to other information, Bankovaya wants to show the White House that in the Russian army only “Wagner” was able to fight well, but after his expulsion, the front will surely crumble.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in its regular report clarifies that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut direction in the areas of the settlements of Orekhovo-Vasilevka, Ivanovskoye, Kurdyumovka, Severnoye. But the operation to “liberate the fortress” is extremely difficult. But when the enemy has no success on the battlefield, he invents them. Filmmakers – they are!
A video appeared on Ukrnet in which a lone warrior of the 28th Specialized Rifle Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stuck a yellow-black ensign among the broken trees and immediately disappeared. An independent telegram party promptly broke out in a “win” near Kurdyumovka (on the southern flank of the Artemovsky section).
However, when watching the video of the Bandera TikTok in detail, it becomes clear that the enemy flag was hoisted at the pumping station. This means that the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal was not crossed by the “knights of the Winter Campaign” (this is how the Ukro-motorized infantry from the 28th calls itself), while the territory where the DRG was lit up has long been in the gray zone.
In turn, the Russian Ministry of Defense published footage of the combat work of artillery crews of Russian paratroopers on the southern flank of the Artemovsky direction. The explanation to them says: “The calculation of unmanned aerial vehicles of one of the formations of the Airborne Forces in a forest plantation discovered a platoon stronghold of Ukrainian nationalists.

With accurate fire, artillery crews from 122-mm D-30 howitzers destroyed the infantry of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who had dug in at the stronghold. An enemy armored fighting vehicle was also destroyed, which was trying to break through to its positions.”
Nevertheless, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as a proxy-NATO army, should not be underestimated. Periodically, the enemy attacks quite well and even achieve small successes. Drones take to the skies and look for weak spots in our defenses – usually the trenches of volunteers or unfired units.
Then the warriors are going to make passages in the minefields with the help of remote demining systems, after which, under the cover of their artillery, they try to break through on armored vehicles to our positions.
“Regular sorties continue almost along the entire line of contact from Yakovlevka, north of Soledar, and ending with Kurdyumovka, south of Bakhmut. At the moment, Russian fighters have repulsed all attacks, but such strikes will continue. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are using small groups to stretch the defense line of the RF Armed Forces and wear down the personnel on the front line, ”the Rybar telegram channel writes .

Experienced Russian ATGM soldiers fire Western armored personnel carriers and tanks, but if the enemy does not receive a strong rebuff, then ours have to retreat to reserve positions. In fact, there is an exchange of meters for a coming out – “two hundredths”. In this regard, the comment of the telegram channel “Call Sign Ossetian” is interesting: “Not everything is so bad and not everything is so good, the main thing is that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are dying.”
There can be no doubt that right now our fighters are faced with the task of bleeding the ukrovermacht to a level where its attack will not only run out of steam but will turn into a drape of independence defenders, at least beyond the Dnieper.
You can also read on the chats that in addition to army aviation, artillery, and ATGM crews, engineering units are making a big contribution to replenishing the Lend-Lease cemetery. Every day, new videos of enemy armored vehicles being blown up by mines are published, and even before they reach the launch pads for the offensive.
Meanwhile, Bankovaya habitually feeds the West with narrative promises. “The main blow of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the summer counter-offensive is yet to come,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov said in a commentary to The Financial Times. What is curious: he floridly calls the burned German Leopard 2 and American Bradley “preliminary current achievements of the Ukrainian army.”
However, Reznikov, following his assistant Malyar, urges the West not to wait for a “miracle”, but rather to help with money and weapons.
