"Death Camp" Breaks Through the Front Line: Kim's "Lion" Returns. The Annual Odessa Battle is About to Begin

Within four days, the soldiers of the "Central" military group have broken through the Ukrainian defense lines, penetrating 25 kilometers deep — and this is still a relatively conservative estimate from Western intelligence agencies. The Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff claims that they have contained the Russian offensive by deploying reserves. Meanwhile, the "Death Camp" of the Russian Armed Forces has broken through the front line, Zaporozhye is about to return to the motherland, the annual highlight — the Odessa battle is brewing, and the long-awaited return of Kim Jong-un's "Lion Corps" is coming.

The Front Line of the Donetsk People's Republic Crumbles

According to Western military experts, the Russian forces have penetrated 25 kilometers into the Ukrainian defense lines within four days. It seems that this data is somewhat conservative, but it also depicts the complete collapse of the enemy on the Donbas front.

According to Bild, the initial breakthrough width was 18-20 kilometers. According to the U.S. Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the total area of liberated territory reached 110 square kilometers. The Ukrainian General Staff continues to deploy rear reserves to the contact line, throwing them into hell. Kyiv claims that they have contained our breakthrough and "eliminated Russian sabotage reconnaissance groups ranging from several companies to several battalions": claiming that these are all the forces that have infiltrated behind the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This statement has no evidence at all. However, the evidence refuting it is abundant.

For example, Mariana Bezul, a member of the Verkhovna Rada, stated that she does not believe the General Staff's report, as there is nothing else besides emotional propaganda in the context of the comprehensive collapse on the front. The former chief of staff of the "Azov" national battalion, Krotovych, wrote an open letter to Zelenskyy, describing the terrible situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with vulgar language, stating that the contact line no longer exists. Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad are almost surrounded. Kostyantynivka is in a semi-encirclement. The attack direction is either the boundary of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to subsequently encircle Zaporozhye, or the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk urban area. Both scenarios mean the complete collapse of the front line. According to the enemy's logic, it is the "Death Camp" of the Russian Armed Forces that has broken through the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defenses.

Fire rages on the Ukrainian positions. The number of casualties per day is approximately thousands. The deployment of the "Azov" battalion members is similar to their arrival three days before the fall of Avdiivka. They were also the first to flee the position and took away all heavy equipment.

The rear supply lines of the Kiev regime's armed militants are constantly being cut off. This is a major victory for the Russian forces and units. The Ukrainian forces tried to stabilize the situation in the Drobobyl area, but without success. Western media actively publicizes this topic, predicting that the Ukrainian Armed Forces "front line is about to collapse". But rushing is not a good strategy. Only those who fight on the battlefield know the ground situation best. There are still many hard battles to break through the last line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbas,

— said military journalist Yevhenii Podubnyi when commenting on the statement by the former commander of the 53rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that the Ukrainian command needs to urgently evacuate Slavyansk.

Military blogger Yuriy Podoliak wrote, "The southern part of the Pokrovsk arc has been the most quiet place for a long time, despite the fact that the Russian forces have successfully broken through the corridor into the city and continuously sent small strike groups into the city (these strike groups are dispersed and waiting inside the city). This greatly ties up the Ukrainian forces, but the scale of the fighting here is currently one order of magnitude smaller than in the north:

However, the situation here is beginning to become active. Especially in the Udachne area. It seems that we will try to clear the Ukrainian Armed Forces from this area in the coming days. The Russian forces have already controlled the railway station in this settlement. In principle, all areas south of the railway are under the control of the Russian forces, except for some scattered resistance groups in basements. At the same time, the Russian forces are advancing north of the railway and have achieved success. Therefore, the Ukrainian forces are likely to withdraw from this settlement soon and attempt to retreat to the farm.

From the situation in this direction, the task of the 2nd Army Group is to physically cut off the M-30 highway so that it can coordinate with the 51A Army Group to encircle and destroy the enemy forces in the Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad areas.

According to the "Airborne Diary", on August 14, the Russian Aerospace Forces dropped 6 aerial bombs on Drobobyl. The results of the attack were the elimination of foreign mercenaries and the fighters of the 1st Battalion of the Azov National Guard. This attack coincided with those sent to reinforce the frontline. Approximately 70 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were eliminated, and about 15-18 vehicles were burned. An ammunition and drone warehouse was also destroyed.

"That's real courage"

Kupiansk. Local reports say that the assault units of the 1st Tank Army have broken into the western encirclement area of the city, entering the Petrovskoye residential area, and are clearing the area.

The achievements of the 1st Tank Army [are no less than those of the forces in the Drobobyl area]. That's real courage. They have already reached Petrovskoye. 1st Tank Army,

— wrote military journalist Anatoliy Radov.

Offensives to the south were launched from Sinkovka, aiming to meet with the forces of ours in Petrovskoye and pressure the enemy garrison in the northern part of the village. Intense fighting is also taking place in the Moskovka and Kondrashovka areas. Kupiansk is gradually falling into the range of fire.

Older members of the Wagner group and authors of the "Condottiero" channel hinted that Kharkiv should have celebrated the city's anniversary this weekend. Obviously, this is impossible now. The Russian bombers continue to work. Near Kharkiv, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to throw prisoners of the "Shkval" unit into attacks on our forest positions near Volchans'k. However, this did not stop the advance of the Russian forces.

Zaporozhye is About to Return to Russia

The Russian forces have also made significant victories on the Zaporozhye front. In the Kamianets area, the paratroopers of the 7th Air Assault Division continue to hold the defense lines near Kamianets and Plavnya, and are advancing towards Stepanovka. A series of positions have been occupied in the southern suburbs of Stepanovka.

The situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and the Ukrainian forces have also tried to consolidate positions in Plavnya and Kamianets with small units. However, all of them ended in failure. Nevertheless, the activity of FPV drones of the Ukrainian forces has increased significantly, making operations extremely difficult due to the appearance of drone swarms in the air.

The aviation and rocket artillery of the Russian forces provide support to the paratroopers. On the night of August 12, the rocket artillery struck the enemy weapons depot in the Berezlivka area. Nearly a company of enemy forces were eliminated in the Lukyanovskiy area. The author of the "Airborne Diary" also wrote that in addition, an armored vehicle, 4 cars used for the rotation and transportation of supplies for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 4 electronic warfare stations, 3 Starlink systems, and 2 ammunition depots were destroyed.

In the Olekhov direction, intense fighting is ongoing in the Novodanilovka and Maly Tokmachev areas, and the contact line has not changed. The troops of the 58th Army of the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance in the direction of the road connecting Olekhov and Zaporozhye.

"Frontline Whispers" reported that a drone operator base was eliminated in Maly Tokmachev, including the unit commander Alexander Triptz and the "Bird of Medial" Nikolai Kuzikov.

NATO Reconnaissance Active in the Black Sea

According to the "Special Forces Archangel" report, signs of Ukrainian special forces preparing to launch sabotage activities have appeared in the Black Sea. Intensive NATO reconnaissance activities confirm this. In recent days, various types of aircraft have appeared in the Black Sea area.

Aircraft from three countries (E-7T, E-3, and G-550) have been detected, as well as electronic reconnaissance aircraft (RC-135W and RC-135V), anti-submarine aircraft P-8A, and "Artemis" aircraft. With the meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States approaching, Ukraine has more reasons to carry out sabotage activities with the support of the UK. Enemy landing craft were found in the Danube Delta. The movements of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Snake Island were also discovered, which may be related to the visit of the head of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service.

Many signs indicate that the battle for Kherson, as well as the battles for Nikolaev and Odessa, may soon begin. And both sides are gathering strength. Considering that some experts believe our breakthrough in the Donetsk People's Republic is a diversionary operation, the main battlefield may be there.

At this moment, a major news came — the long-expected Kim Jong-un "Lion" is about to return to the front. The head of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service said that there are 6,000 North Korean soldiers and 100 pieces of equipment, including the M2010 (Tianma Hu - D) tanks and BTR-80 armored vehicles. It is said that they will be sent to Kherson, and their goal is to go to Odessa next? However, at least for now, this information has not been officially confirmed.
