>>346521Not sure but I think ANNA is on Telegram.
Given that Telegram ask to dox yourself with a phone, it is a no-no for me.
>>346496Some sources said Vovchoiarivka was entered today but i don't believe it, doesn't make much sense to enter the valley yet. Besides, the high ground between the village and Loskutivka are way more important and haven't been mentioned.
It's surprising they haven't made any progress west towards the road but my guess is Hirske/Zolote will be stormed before that (very soon™).
>>346523Their website wasn't very google translate friendly last i checked but now it seems to be working better.

Ukraine Shitmupdate
Russians seize three settlements to the southeast of Lysychansk in Luhansk Oblast, and recapture a smattering of villages along the border of Kherson and Mykolaiv Oblasts
>In the LPR, they report that in total, up to 2,000 enemy soldiers and officers are surrounded in Hirske and Zolote>Today they released Zolote-3 and Zolote-4. The boiler is already boiling.https://twitter.com/200_zoka/status/1539943187246190594Safe to say the ukrops won't fight very hard for anything that isn't the "Zolote-1" part of Zolote.
>>346526>It's surprising they haven't made any progress west towards the road but my guess is Hirske/Zolote will be stormed before that (very soon™)LPR reporting (Text 1) that they've gained fire control over the road and Ukr MoD (Text 2 ) says the Russians are trying to capture Berestove.
http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=48.758113&lon=38.257270&z=14&show=/17955830/BerestoveFurthermore, Ukr MoD claims the Russians are attacking in Vovchoiarivka direction and there's no confirmation from pro-Russian side that they've entered the village.
>>346576Izvestia (Russian News) correspondent claimed around noon that Karbonit (Zolote-1) was under Russian control...
I don't know what to believe tbqhfamhoelads
>>346578They're on the ground in Zolote so there's no reason to disregard their report.
https://twitter.com/200_zoka/status/1539972650914631681Now how many ukrops are there really in the kotel? 2000 is probably a vast overestimation, maybe they've all left already.
>>346576ANNA News:
>The 6th Cossack regiment together with the special regiment "Akhmat 1" liberated small Kamyshevakha.>Cossacks of the 6th regiment of the NM LPR liberated the settlements of Zolote-1, Zolote-2, Zolote-3, Zolote-4, Persiyanovka (Malaya Nikolaevka)>A sweep is underway in the settlement. Gorskoye.https://twitter.com/200_zoka/status/1539984912366948352Small Kamyshevakha = east Kamyshevakha, Zolote-2 is self explanatory and means everything south of Hirske (or Gorskoye as it's named in Russian) is under Russian control.
Persiyanovka is the small neighborhood of Novoivanivka closest to Vrubivka.
>>346583>>346587Picture proof that they entered Hirske today (the northern suburb called Ivanivka to be precise).
Ukrop media claims the towns were already evacuated and I'm inclined to believe them, we'll see soon enough.

I wonder how much more "fortified" Lysychansk is and what benefit getting encircled there would be though... to be honest i suspect they might try a fighting retreat to the Bakhmut and Slavyansk defensive line since encirclement won't be hard after the Bakhmut-Lysychansk road and Oil Refinery is cracked.
>Video: One of the entrances to Lisichansk from the Seversk directionhttps://twitter.com/r_u_vid/status/1540505925387034624http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=48.897410&lon=38.332447&z=17&show=/19009368/ru/Перекрёсток-Подвесная-Main entrance to the city, north of the oil refinery to be precise.
Would be silly of the Russians to destroy the road if they're near or even in the villages of Maloriazantseve and Verkhniokamianka as some Russian sources claim.

Real number might be far lower, but still another painful defeat for the Ukrainian army, eleven weeks after “turning the tide”. We cheered too early.https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1540321676629524480Doomposting from JihadiJulian followed by pro-Ukrop users screeching hard in replies, what a time to be alive.
>>346643>i suspect they might try a fighting retreat to the Bakhmut and Slavyansk defensive lineSloviansk-Kramatorsk-Druzhkivka-Kostiantynivka-Toretsk defensive line to be precise.
The cities are more or less a continuous stream of urban environment in a river valley with extremely limited wiggle room to exploit gaps without engaging in heavy urban combat, not to mention the Kazennyi Torets River which runs through them will be damn near impossible to pass going from east to west due to it being too wide for solid bridges laid by armoured bridgelayer and both sides being urbanized (good luck building a pontoon bridge when AT teams hide in every house on the opposite side of the river).
The ukrops will bank on the Russians not being able to cut through any of the cities to make some sort of encirclement maneuver.
So what should the Putinoids do to overcome this giant shit wall?
They've recently been approaching Slavyansk from the north of course and made some gains in northern Donetsk city/western Horlivka city front (albeit something like a month ago). Considering how long it has taken to seize Severodonetsk and nearly encircle Lysychansk, imagine how long and how much manpower it would take to cut the numerous ukrop supply lines running from Dnipropetrovsk into the cities...
Will be incredibly hard without turning the "conflict" into a real war and mobilizing conscripts (at the moment the Russians who rely on paid professionals and militiamen are outnumbered). Positioning themselves with artillery on the elevated eastern outskirts and brute forcing their way through the cities on both sides of the river from north (Slavyansk) and south (Toretsk) might be the way to go.
The jew oligarchs in control of Ukraine will fight to the last hohol but as demonstrated by the mutinies on Lysychansk front, there might be a point when trying to hold on to the Russian territories just isn't worth it for the commoners and high ranking military personnel.
>>346701Regarding Slavyansk, it should be possible to encircle it from the north (currently in progress) east (after Lysychansk) and west (so far no real push to reach the river valley running west out of Slavyansk, but the river is not as imposing as Kazennyi Torets or Siverskyi Donets). Leaving only the H-20 highway to Kramatorsk, this can be cut by taking the Cherevkivka suburb (which is the only part of Slavyansk on the eastern side of Kazennyi Torets).
Not a great comparison, but check out how the ukrops took Slavyansk back in 2014.
>>346707The Cherevkivka suburb is all 1-2 story homes by the way.
>>346526>>346745So many reports coming from Lysychansk today... the Russians claim complete control (i.e not just fire control) of the Bakhmut-Lysychansk road, the Gelatine factory, Matroska (settlement and mine). Weirdly enough, earlier in the morning they claimed to control the rubber factory and glass factory.
The Ukrainians confirm everything east of the river is under Russian control after the announced retreat from Severodonetsk and they also confirm fighting is taking place in Lysychansk city.
For now i'll disregard the rubber/glass factory, but the reports of the Gelatine factory and Matroska seems legit. I didn't expect them to assault the city before taking the oil refinery but entering the city along the railroad tracks from Loskutivka makes sense i guess.
The situation is too wild to get the full picture at the moment so i'll try to avoid posting unverified stuff.
>>346642thanks i already have these two with south, but the quality is terrible

Expecting the k*rds to play ball with Damascus would be insanity so it's probably time to bid farewell to Tel Rifaat at the very least.

It isn't far fetched to assume he got something from the NATO nations who wants to expand the organization (USA) to sign the agreement.
>>346871Russian sources claim 1500 ukrops are still in Lysychansk, i doubt it.
Kh-22 anti-ship missile launched by Tu-22, it's from the 60's but recently modified for use against land targets.
Impressive shot.

>>347009Impossible to draw a frontline in Lysychansk city, but i included the location of the "Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Lugansk region" as a red frame. If it was filmed by Russians it's safe to assume everything southeast of it is under RU control.
