On the morning of July 29, a drone operator from the 127th Motorized Rifle Division's 77th Independent Reconnaissance Battalion of the Russian Eastern Military District destroyed a large bridge rigged with mines near the village of Kamyshivakha (Камышеваха) in the south of Donetsk region.
This summer, two important points on the Ukraine-Russia front line are the Red Army Village and Kupiansk. Kupiansk may fall earlier than the Red Army Village. If these two points are lost, the Ukrainian army would lose two very important transportation and military key points.
Now everyone is paying attention to the Red Army Village direction, but the Kupiansk direction is also serious for the Ukrainian army. The left bank of the line between Sinyky and Kupiansk is estimated to be taken over. Then, the Russian army may not continue to move south, but might go along the original route, attacking Balakliya, which is possible. Although it seems hopeless in the short term, this is likely to be the motive.
According to news from the Russian TASS, the Ukrainian army's supreme command has again sent reserve forces to Milove to prevent the Russian advance in the Kharkov direction. Today's "telephone-shaped" offensive results may be an announcement of the battle results to the Ukrainian supreme command: the reinforcement by Hirsiky is not very effective.
This morning, the Russian army is advancing west of Portavka, and the report by Russian field journalist Lysitsyn has confirmed that Russian突击队 have entered the village of Nikanorivka.
The video released by the Ukrainian army showing an attack on the Russian armed forces' forward positions confirms this.
General Raschuk of the 7th Army said that his unit's core mission is to defend the Red Army Village, and the core of the 25th Airborne Brigade is currently defending the city. Soon, the entire army will complete its deployment.
The 77th and 81st Air Mobile Brigades in Borova and Seversk may be transferred to the Red Army Village, but the Russians have broken through the Ukrainian front lines east of Seversk. The 71st Ranger Brigade, 79th Air Assault Brigade, and 78th Air Assault Group are fighting for Kundryatove, and in reality, the Ukrainian army has no more troops to transfer.
After three years, the Russian army finally succeeded in the Serednyanka forest area, advancing 7 kilometers today and yesterday. If this forest area is occupied, it will form a significant military threat to both the southern Seversk and western红利曼 directions, while at the same time releasing a large number of Russian forces.
If the Russians take Serednyanka, they will not only threaten the northern part of the Ukrainian forces in Seversk, but also threaten the safety of the road for the withdrawal of the western Seversk.
Many people online criticize the Russian Western Military District, but from the overall operational environment, the Western Military District's area of responsibility is the most complex, with varied terrain, many ridges, rivers, and forests. Whether it's the Lesnya River, Oskil River, or North Donets River, forest areas, whether it's the Kupiansk line, the红利曼 line, or the Krymyne line.
Additionally, this direction has the most complex traffic, with no railway traffic at all, only highways. In the future, the surrounding areas of红利曼 will be even more covered with forests. This poses a severe test for the Russian operations.
