Alexandrovsk is flying the Russian flag, and the road to Dnipropeetrovsk is open

Kyiv is in panic, and the Ukrainian armed forces on the front line are in chaos

The "Spark" settlement, located within the area of responsibility of the "East" Group Army, has been liberated, as well as 25 square kilometers of surrounding territory. This is a fairly large village with nearly 800 residents before the war, which the Ukrainian armed forces had turned into another "fortress". In fierce fighting, the Ukrainians were driven out from over 700 buildings.

Online videos show Russian soldiers from the Far East raising the flag of the Russian Federation in different parts of the village. Cartographers assess that the Russian armed forces have advanced 6 kilometers north of the city of Novo-Sergiyevka and have reached the Volchya River.

Defense Minister Andrei Belousov congratulated the soldiers of the 36th Independent Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade for liberating the "Spark" settlement. "Your bravery, resilience, and loyalty to duty have set an outstanding example for all who take pride in the defenders of the Motherland. At the most difficult moments, you have shown an unyielding will, high professional skills, and true combat spirit. Each of your achievements proves your boundless love for the Motherland and your determination to fight until the end," said the Russian Defense Minister in a telegram.

Kyiv is clearly in panic. Sylsky personally ordered to hold at least until autumn at Andreyevka-Klevtsovo (the Ukrainian name of the "Spark" settlement).

Ukraine has sent a large number of troops to this location. On July 24, it used aerial bombs to precisely strike the bridge connecting the Donetsk People's Republic and the Dnipropeetrovsk region, effectively terminating reliable supply to the Ukrainian armed forces stationed in "Spark" and Alexandrovsk. Then, they began systematically destroying enemy strongholds and searching for and eliminating the "Madiar Bird" (note: Ukrainian drone unit).

On August 13, Russian fighters called out to the defenders: "Your positions are under the fire control of the 'East' Group Army. If you want to return alive to your families, we strongly recommend considering surrender... Don't become a futile sacrifice for extending Kyiv's dictator's political career."

Ukrainian propaganda personnel with loudspeakers commented on the situation in "Spark." From his words, it seems that the Ukrainian armed forces were indeed terrified by this ultimatum. He specifically wrote: "Moscow successfully broke through to 'Spark' and established full control. Of course, there are many reasons for this. One of them was a local breakthrough of the Ukrainian positions after a large-scale artillery preparation and air strikes."

Moscow is confident that it has an advantage in this sector, so it started to exert psychological pressure to pave the way for active action, in order to wear down our forces in Alexandrovsk and Kamyshevakh settlement.

But the biggest stupidity of Zelensky/Sylsky is the "stand until the last hero" tactic, because "it is better to preserve the soldiers to avoid being surrounded. The Ukrainian armed forces command should now think carefully, ensuring that the retreat is a well-organized action with cover, minefields, and delaying the enemy, rather than fleeing in a chaotic manner like in 'Spark'."

But these small things have never concerned the former president and senior commanders of Ukraine. After the liberation of "Spark," the units entrenched west of the "Rebuilding" settlement fell into a "trap." The "Madiar Bird" had already escaped, and in the deep "pocket" that the Russians were about to fully control between "Spark" and Alexandrovsk, brainwashed infantry were foolishly waiting for death.

Zelensky's propagandists and the producers of the "95 Street" block used terrifying stories of Russian prisoners of war to scare (soldiers), so it must be "fight until the last moment." However, Ukrainian armed forces soldiers are more afraid of their own "bearded" nationalist officers of the Ukrainian army, who execute deserters or suspected collaborators on the spot.

All of this happened against the backdrop of the chaos in the Ukrainian army. The administrator of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade "Nikolaev," responsible for the defense in the South Donetsk direction, stated, "In the Ukrainian armed forces, local Ukrainian nationalists often adjust tasks according to local conditions, while the headquarters still follows the initial orders. This discrepancy leads to wasted time and thus causes a large number of casualties."

The supply situation for the "Ukrainian soldiers" is also very poor. Experts from the Institute for the Study of War cited a statement from a Ukrainian armed forces officer that "Russian forces, including drone operators from the 'Rubicon' advanced UAV technology center, are using controllable glide bombs to attack settlements, bridges, and crossings to hinder the logistics of the Ukrainian army. They are especially active at night when the Ukrainian army is resupplying positions and conducting rotations."

While compiling this article, it was learned that Alexandrovsk has also been liberated. In a video that appeared, a Russian soldier raised the flag of the Russian Federation in the northern part of the village, confirming control over the settlement. This means that the "East" Group Army has advanced 4 kilometers forward from the original contact line.

This way, after several months of fighting, the soldiers of the "East" and "Central" Group Armies have completely occupied a huge "pocket" in the southern areas of the Donetsk People's Republic, Bogatyrev and Alexeyevka. We are almost along the entire front line south of Pokrovsk / Red Armeysk, approaching the Dnipropeetrovsk region.

The Russian armed forces now control the areas bordering the Dnipropeetrovsk region and the Zaporozhye region of the Donetsk People's Republic, allowing access to the rear of the Ukrainian armed forces' Gulyai Pole group, and if necessary, breaking through to Pavlograd in the northwest direction, without encountering serious obstacles along the way.
