So far Ukrainian propagandist claims that Zelensky's corrupted nefarious regime to have full control of Robotyne is nothing more than a fantasy and mere fabrication.

Kherson direction
situation as of 19.00 on August 26, 2023

Near the Dnieper in the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to "probe" the soil, sending one reconnaissance group after another, in order to gain a foothold on the islands southeast of Kherson.

🔻Yesterday, two enemy DRGs, five people each, on two boats, tried to land on Melky Island. One of the boats was destroyed by artillery fire, and the other was able to unload the group and land the wounded members of the TRO.

On the way back, having come under heavy fire, the boat was also hit along with five people on board. The evacuation was disrupted, but there is still a DRG of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the observation post on the island.

The command of the Ukrainian group "Kherson" sent another group closer to the night. The boat was moving to the Dnieper along the Ingulets River, where it was destroyed by an attack drone of the Russian Armed Forces.

🔻Attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to gain a foothold on the islands are currently unsuccessful. Russian fighters stand ready, shelling the approaches to the shores. However, the enemy transferred additional fire groups of the 406th OABR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Kherson-Tyaginka line, intending to strengthen the fire cover of the assault groups.

Another Night Brought Colossal Losses To The Attackers. Military Summary And Analysis For 2023.08.27

Zelensky's nefarious regime winning in Robotyne...

The Ukraine Army reportedly suffered big losses in the past day of the counteroffensive. Nearly 700 Ukrainian troops were wiped out, 18 attacks failed and three ammunition depots were obliterated across the frontline, according to the Russian defence ministry. It also released a video showing Podnos Mortar crews stalling Ukrainian troops in the Kupyansk direction, where Russia claims to have advanced.


Ukraine is keeping NATO officials updated on the progress of counteroffensive. Ukrainian President's Adviser confirms 'secret meetings' being held in this regard. Mykhail Podolyak said that Western officials received updates from the war zone. Recently, a media report claimed a meeting between General Valeril Zaluzhnui, Commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces, and NATO commanders.


Ukraine has begun probe into the plane crash that killed three of its ace pilots amid the counteroffensive. One among them was the 'Ghost of Kyiv,' who went by his call sign 'Juice.' The incident took place on August 25 when two L-39 jets collided during a combat mission.

Did you watch the video? What did the Führer of Ukraine say? Just because of a screen error the credibility of the channel is zero?
Better check the credibility of your twitter source instead.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner PMC perished in a plane crash. This leads us to ask many questions about the future of the organization. Will it be integrated into the Russian Armed Forces? Or will it be disbanded? In the event that the PMC survives, who will take over command of Wagner? An outsider loyal to the Ministry of Defense, or a senior Wagnerian commander?

Summer operations | Ukrainian Attack In Robotyne May End In Cauldron. Military Summary For 2023.8.27

Some Ukrainian general never learn the lesson of what happened during the Battle of Debaltseve :😆

Update on Ukraine conflict for August 27, 2023

- Ukraine’s offensive nears 3 months of fighting and has yet to breach Russia’s first of several defensive lines;

- Russia not only continues frustrating Ukraine’s offensive, it is launching its own offensive in the northeast that is gaining momentum;

- Amid the failing offensive, Ukraine and its Western sponsors trade blame and argue over the best course forward;

- Talk continues to be made regarding “wonder weapons” like F-16 and JAS 39 Gripen fighter jets despite the implausible nature of using either effectively in battle;

- A juncture is approaching where the West will have to decide whether to allow Ukraine to begin irreversibly collapsing or intervene more directly;

The Second Confirmation Of The Capture Of The Robotyne Settlement. Military Summary For 2023.08.28


It's 1305 in Ukraine. Anything can happen in this dynamic battle.

It was a week of 'weak' offensives for Ukraine against Russian armed forces. According to the Russian defence ministry, Ukrainian forces faced a series of defeats throughout the last 7 days, in which they lost as many as 4,800 troops. Ukraine's offensive is set to enter its third month but has yielded no major results yet.


Russia mocked Ukraine after its president admitted Kyiv might lose the West's support. A Russian leader said that the Kyiv regime’s main fear is a lack of western support. On August 27, Zelensky admitted that allies would not back Kyiv in hostilities on Russian soil. "We will definitely be left alone," said Zelensky while talking about strikes on Russian territory.
Game Over Soon.


Ukraine has claimed that Russian missile attack on the Poltava region has killed two people. The missile strike set an oil factory ablaze in the region. On the other hand, the Russian defence ministry said that the Navy had launched a high-precision strike with long-range missiles at Ukraine's foreign-made aircraft weaponry ammunition depot. It added that the the goal of the strike was achieved. Meanwhile, Ukraine targeted Crimea with cruise missiles and drones. Both attacks were foiled over the Black Sea.


Ukraine begs for Soviet-era weapons after western air defence systems "disgraced." The Ukrainian President has "urged the Western nations to dig deep and pull out their Soviet-era weapons. Western weapons have not been as effective as they were extolled in Ukraine's conditions. A Russian military expert said seeking Soviet-era weapons is a sign of "failure."

Destruction of reconnaissance UAVs near Crimea

About an hour ago, the calculations of the 31st division of the Air Force and Air Defense shot down two reconnaissance UAVs that monitored the situation on the Crimean peninsula. The drones turned out to be the already well-known Portuguese-made Tekever.

One of the "Tekevers" of the AR3 modification took off from the Nikolaev region, flying through the Kherson region to the Karkinitsky Bay and the Crimea, where it was destroyed by the Pantsir air defense missile system, 23 km north of Yevpatoria.

And the second UAV of the AR5 modification took off from the south of the Odessa region, heading for Cape Tarkhankut, entered the airspace of the peninsula and was shot down by air defense units southwest of Razdolny.

🔻In recent weeks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have used Tekevers to reconnoiter the air defense positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Crimea, flying up to a distance of several kilometers to the peninsula. And now the UAVs have flown directly into the airspace of Crimea.

It is difficult to say whether it was deliberate arrogance or recklessness, but the fact is that the Russian air defense forces shot down two high-tech drones that were used, among other things, to strike at the S-300 air defense system and the sortie of the special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate to Tarkhankut.

At the same time, you should not relax: if it was a deliberate entry of drones into the Crimea, then in this way the Armed Forces of Ukraine could try to identify the location of air defense at the depth of the peninsula and subsequently strike at these areas.
