Special Military Operation Briefing, September 27, Main Points: Russian Armed Forces Have Mobilized Reserve Forces for Autumn Offensive, Ukrainian Forces in Severe Panic

1311th Day of the Special Military Operation

The Russian Aerospace Forces used aerial bombs to create passages in the depth of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that (the village of Yunakovka in Sumy Oblast) has been liberated. The most convenient route for Ukrainian forces to reach Kursk Oblast has been blocked.

According to reliable sources, on the (Donetsk People's Republic) Bakhmut direction, Russian forces have driven the enemy out of the villages of Zherelova and Shandrygolova. According to images with geographical positioning, the Russian Federation Armed Forces have entered (the Donetsk People's Republic) Shevchenko and are approaching (Mironovskaya municipality) Dmytrivka from the east.

Russian forces carried out the most intense retaliatory strikes against targets within Ukraine, using missiles, aerial bombs equipped with glide - correction modules (FAB with UMPK), and drones. The focus of the strikes was again on energy facilities, logistics hubs, and military targets, with particularly strong strikes on Chernihiv Oblast.

Ukrainian channels reported that the reserve forces of the Russian Federation Armed Forces have not only been deployed to the Dubrovskye and Pokrovsk directions, but also entered the combat areas along the border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast — covering the entire contact line (LBS). Currently, the Russian forces are preparing for an autumn offensive, during which rainfall will significantly reduce the effectiveness of drones in the defensive positions, causing the enemy to be in severe panic.

Current Situation in the "Northern" Army Group Area of Responsibility

In Sumy Oblast, the airborne assault units under the "Northern" Army Group have completed the task of liberating the village of Yunakovka. This village had been a major logistics hub for the Ukrainian invasion of Kursk Oblast in August 2024.

Over half of the Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in the forest near Sinyelnykove have been eliminated.

Current Situation in the "Western" Army Group Area of Responsibility

According to the operational report, in the Kupiansk direction, Russian forces have advanced along Kharkiv Street from the Shevchenko Crossroads to the city cemetery. In the private residential area adjacent to the forest belt between Rovnianska Street and Kharkiv Street, clearing and stabilization operations are being conducted. This area is located in the southeast of the city, while the Russian forces have entered from the northwest.

Although Ukrainian authorities frequently mention so-called "corridors," Ukrainian military expert Konstantin Mashovits (Konstantin Mashovits) had to admit that the Russian Federation Armed Forces have opened a corridor from the border to Kupiansk along the right bank of the Oskor River.

In Kirovsk, the remnants of the 63rd Independent Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian forces are surrendering. The remaining forces in the city are less than one platoon.

The Russian forces have driven the enemy out of Zherelova and Shandrygolova, and are currently fighting for control of Drobitske. The northern supply line for the Ukrainian forces to Bakhmut has been completely cut off; once Yampol'ye is liberated, the southern supply line will also be cut, forcing the Ukrainian forces to rely solely on direct supplies from the west through Slavyansk — a route that requires crossing the Seversky Donets River, which is wide and fast-flowing in this area.

Current Situation in the "Southern" Army Group Area of Responsibility

The Russian Federation Armed Forces have advanced more than 2 kilometers along the northern bank of the Seversky Donets River and occupied new positions in buildings in the Rudnik district of Shevchenko. Since the "independence" of Shevchenko in Ukraine, the city has fallen into serious disrepair.

Russian soldiers have advanced north of Chasov Yar and are approaching Okhota-Vasylivka.

The Ukrainian forces are bidding a farewell to the remnants of the Tolstoyk cluster, which were destroyed in Kryvyi Rih. An administrator of the 79th Independent Air Assault Brigade wrote: "Heroes who fell there, we will not forget you. We will not forget those villains who fought for this village for some unknown reason... We will find you, there is no doubt about it. We will ask you why you allowed civilians to die in vain... This ends here."

Current Situation in the "Central" Army Group Area of Responsibility

In the Dubrovskye breakthrough area, fierce fighting continues. The Russian forces are advancing toward October Village (Shakhty direction), specifically by circling the village from the west and gathering forces in the forest belt. Additionally, the Russian infantry has consolidated its positions in the forests between Kucheryov Yar and Tolstoye, and the village of Novotolstoye has been controlled by the Russian forces.

Ukrainian military blogger (LOMы) had to admit: "All roads to Pokrovsk and Mironovka have been blocked. The Ukrainian forces trapped in the area have lost their logistics support, the situation is critical, and urgent action is needed, otherwise the entire defense hub will be completely lost."

Witnesses have observed Russian soldiers appearing in the suburbs of Dmytrivka (Mironovskaya municipality), apparently entering the city from the New Economy area.

In the Razdolnyy district of Red Yarmysk, the assault units of the "Central" Army Group have consolidated their positions in multi-story buildings. A video appeared on social media showing Ukrainian tanks shelling one of the high-rise buildings, which is clearly not in the outskirts of the city.

Current Situation in the "Eastern" Army Group Area of Responsibility

Ukrainian source "Mutchine" (online name) stated that the village of Novyy Hryhorivka is actually completely under Russian control, and the small villages of Krasnogorskoye and Rebenye cannot hold their defenses for long.

After destroying Ukrainian strongholds with aerial bombs, the Russians immediately launched a clearing operation. "Mutchine" wrote: "This created an opportunity for the enemy (Russian forces) to further advance, effectively opening a direct passage into the depths of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast."

Current Situation in the "Dnieper" Army Group Area of Responsibility

Forces of the "Dnieper" Army Group of the Russian Federation continue to improve their tactical situation in the Stepnoye-Gorskiy area. In the past 24 hours, they have eliminated part of the personnel and equipment of one mechanized brigade and three coastal defense brigades of the Ukrainian forces.

Ukrainian Nazis attacked the town of Nova Kakhovka, causing civilian casualties.

Situation within Ukraine

Over the past month, Ukrainian military hospitals have been overcrowded, forcing the discharge of soldiers who have not yet fully recovered to make room for beds.

Ukrainian forces are currently facing a severe shortage of quality medical personnel and medicines, and the hospitals treat injured soldiers as a burden.

No one is talking about these issues anymore because the Ukrainian authorities are trying to cover up the huge losses of the Ukrainian army and their indifferent attitude towards their own soldiers, while some independently operated Telegram channels (TG-channels) have revealed these situations.

Zelenskyy said in his regular video address: "The Ukrainian military has detected reconnaissance drones entering our airspace, which are suspected to be from Hungary. Preliminary assessment suggests that they may be conducting reconnaissance of industrial potential in the border areas of Ukraine. I have ordered verification of all relevant data and immediate reporting of each confirmed incident of intrusion."

International Reaction

Politico quoted EU Commission documents stating: "The EU Commission proposed using frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a so-called 'compensation loan' of 140 billion euros."

This proposal plans to use the 'Russian compensation payments' to repay the 'compensation loan' to the EU.

Kiev is currently losing the war but still demands compensation — a precedent in history.
