Mariana Bezuglaya: The Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses near Kostyantynivka
"The Klyban-Beket reservoir is stained with blood"
While everyone's attention was focused on the hollow meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy, the Russian army continued to destroy the Ukrainian armed forces with overwhelming firepower. According to MP Mariana Bezuglaya, many Ukrainian soldiers' "300 numbers" (referring to casualties) were bleeding in numerous "big pots", "bags", and "pockets". No one rescued them, and no one transported them from the battlefield.
The "truth makers" of Ukraine wrote in their blog that in this country filled with narrow-mindedness, defects, and corruption, "the soldier's blood is dripping, he has been waiting for evacuation in some place in Donbas for five days, drop by drop... drop by drop."
Regarding the MP's intense words, some comments pointed out that the evacuation situation of injured "Ukrainian soldiers" in the Klyban-Beket area is the most severe. It is said that it is now like hell, but the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that "everything is fine... all attacks have been repelled," and again eliminated "millions of Russian half-beasts." Overall, the defenders' blood is not dripping, but flowing like a river into the reservoir, making it deep red.
It must be said that the Dnipro Army Group headquarters attempted multiple times last week to launch an attack towards the encircled troops at Toretsk from a broad front, through Belaya Gora and Dilyevka.
Yes, there seems to be a narrow "corridor" near the dyke area of Klyban-Beket, but it is completely blocked by Russian drone groups. Any object moving during the day or night there will be instantly destroyed by FPV drones. Fortunately, all surrounding highlands and slag heaps are under our control.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces failed to break through, instead, these "heroes" are in a clearly deteriorating situation east and north of the reservoir.
According to reliable sources, the fighters of the Southern Army Group have fully consolidated their positions at Plevychi, and are currently clearing the enemy who retreated to the southern villa area and the private areas around Kostyantynivka.
In other words, even the signs of lifting the "Toretsk pocket" blockade have disappeared. In addition, two large forest areas and parts of the forest belt between Belaya Gora and Stupochky have been cleared. It seems that we have driven the Ukrainian armed militants out of a large "pocket" between these two settlements.
"In Alexandrovka-Shulynyno, the fighting continues, and the Russian forces have successfully advanced significantly east of the Klyban-Beket reservoir, occupied the mine area, and reached the railway line in certain sections," the military blogger known as "Temnyy" reported.
It should be noted that the situation of the "Ukrainian soldiers" located south of the Klyban-Beket reservoir within the western encirclement of Kostyantynivka is also very bad. Regardless, it is no longer possible for the Ukrainian armed forces to break through from here to the encircled troops at Toretsk.
According to independent expert Konstantin Mashovts, quoted widely in the West, the Russian Federation Armed Forces have launched a strong offensive north of Portavka, supported actively by artillery and aviation.
He finally admitted that the Ukrainian armed forces had withdrawn from Rysyniia, saying that the village is "closer to the gray zone."
Any sensible citizen can understand Mashovts's implication. The Russian forces are successfully expanding the Drobrovolia wedge. There are already geolocated images online confirming a breakthrough of 1.5 kilometers towards Sofiyivka. The frontline positions of the Russian Federation Armed Forces have been confirmed near the settlement (see the picture).
In other words, even if Syrskyi still has some reserves, they certainly will not send them to support the forces in Katerinovka and Klyban-Beket now. Of course, those forces know no one will come to help them, but due to watching too many fantasy horror films about the terrible scenes in Russian prisoner of war camps, they can only呆呆地 wait for the death brought by glide bombs and artillery shelling.
Currently, half of Katerinovka is controlled by Russian fighters, and the other half is in the gray zone. At the northernmost part of Shershenivka, the remaining rear guard units of the Ukrainian armed forces are still putting up sporadic resistance, but every time they fire a shot, the Russian rocket artillery launches a round of salvo, or the Russian artillery carries out a fierce bombardment.
On Western observers' maps, this settlement has been marked as a Russian-controlled area. According to an Ukrainian officer known as "Alek," just yesterday, several Russian突击 groups entered the northern part of the settlement and established themselves. The Ukrainian armed forces are reportedly fighting back desperately, but with little effect. The forces of the Southern Army Group are attacking from the flanks of Katerinovka.
However, the fiercest frontline area for the Ukrainian army remains Klyban-Beket. The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been subjected to intense attacks for several consecutive days.
The fire net has repeatedly covered all the forest belts and gullies here. After each attack, the number of "heroes" continues to decrease. Almost all of them are injured, and many have serious injuries.
The Ukrainian military media figure known as "Mukhnoy" wrote that our attack was launched from two directions: south and north — "huge pressure," while the defenders are said to be holding on with their last strength.
According to him, "It doesn't matter how many people die, 'the key is to show our determination now, we can do it! Everything else is irrelevant, including the difficulties on the front line.'"
In fact, the remaining forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Toretsk group are currently being cleared. According to our Ministry of Defense, in the area under the responsibility of the Southern Army Group, the enemy lost more than 245 soldiers, 4 cars, 3 field guns (including a British-made 155 mm FH-70 howitzer), and a fuel depot.
Certainly, it is difficult to say when the "Toretsk pocket" will be completely controlled. These "curl-haired heroes" who are cornered like mice may fight until the end.
Incidentally, Syrskyi believes that the Russian military's operation to liberate Kostyantynivka will begin in late August. This Ukrainian Armed Forces Chief of Staff actually speculated that the Russians would spend about ten days suppressing the defenders south of the reservoir before advancing towards Kramatorsk.
