Orekhovsky area
Situation as of 15.00 September 6, 2023

🔻 Fierce battles continue on the Rabotino-Verbove line.

In recent weeks, control over positions in the village has changed hands for the fifth time. The settlement itself is practically destroyed and for the most part is located in the gray zone. However, the AFU continue to try to advance to the southern outskirts and break through to Novoprokopovka, using the tactics of "meat assault".

That night, Russian units, due to the lack of tactical sense to defend the destroyed houses in the village, withdrew to prepared positions on the southern outskirts - for convenience, we marked the main fortified areas on the map.

The situation in Rabotino to some extent repeats (https://t.me/rybar/51112) the assault on Pyatikhatki - the AFU occupied the settlement, but left it several times, unable to withstand artillery and aviation fire from the Russian Armed Forces. Such a "creeping" advance, accompanied by the complete destruction of buildings in the village and the oporniks, on which you can defend yourself, costs the Ukrainian formations heavy losses.

🔻At the same time, the enemy is moving additional units to Verbovoye, clearly hoping that it will be easier to break through to the west of the settlement than to storm the heights in the south near Rabotino. However, night attacks in this direction did not achieve success. Again, heavy losses are reported in the ranks of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade.

After forceful denials, including from President Iohannis, Romanian officials have finally admitted that an #Iran'ian Shahed kamikaze drone, launched by Russia at the Ukrainian port facilities in Izmail, did in fact strike their territory.

The Minister of Defense of the country, Angel Tylvar, stated today that the wreckage was found in the area of Plauru village. Opposite this settlement, on the opposite bank of the Danube River, is the Ukrainian city of Izmail which was the target of the Russian attack.

The Soviet and now Russian habit of blatantly lying until their noses are rubbed into the evidence is apparently hard to quit...

Ukrainian commander reports complex situation on three segments of line of engagement
Over recent days, Ukrainian media outlets have been reporting that Kiev was forced to redeploy its reserves from the country’s south to the east

MOSCOW, September 6. /TASS/. The situation in three segments of the special military operation combat zone is exceedingly difficult, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Colonel General Alexander Syrsky said.

"The current operational situation on the eastern directions remains complex," he wrote on his Telegram channel. The general specified that he was referring specifically to the Artyomovsk, Kupyansk and Krasny Liman areas. Given this, Syrsky has ordered his forces to "ensure a reliable defense" and prevent any loss of current positions.

Over recent days, Ukrainian media outlets have been reporting that the Ukrainian army was forced to redeploy its reserves from the country’s south to the east because the situation in the Kupyansk and Artyomovsk areas was fraught with a collapse of the Ukrainian positions on the frontline in the face of a Russian breakthrough. The New York Times wrote that the US and its allies have concluded that one of the reasons for the failure of Ukraine’s counteroffensive has been the excessive dispersion and overextension of forces on several different segments of the line of engagement and have thus strongly recommended that Ukraine gather its main forces to focus on a single direction in the south. On August 23, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky acknowledged that Kiev was unable to redeploy its main forces to the southern direction because this could potentially lead to the loss of territories in the east.

Overextended Bandera regime forces offensive will fail soon.

Vremyevsky site
Situation as of 16.00 September 6, 2023

🔻Since yesterday, the activation of the enemy on the right flank of the Vremievsky sector has continued. From the side of the Zolotaya Niva - Prechistovka line, the forces of the 38th infantry regiment again tried to attack Novodonetskoye and Novomayorskoye. Ukrainian formations lost three armored vehicles and rolled back.

According to Voin DV (https://t.me/voin_dv/4776), the AFU are not yet using large forces in rollovers, limiting themselves to maneuver groups. However, massive artillery preparation and accumulation of personnel can serve as a sign of an approaching offensive in this direction.

🔻 On the left flank of the Russian Armed Forces, artillery strikes were carried out on the enemy's concentration in Urozhainoye and to the east of the village, disrupting the rotation of the AFU.

The concentration of Territorial Defense detachments continues in the Priyutnoye area, where mutual shelling has been going on for the past few days, as well as in the Olgovskoye and Malinovka areas, which may also indicate that Ukrainian formations are preparing for coordinated attacks.
