Ukrainians failing to advance or gain foothold in Opytnoye in DPR — Russian top brass
According to the Defense Ministry, Russian forces have been using reconnaissance and unmanned aerial vehicles to track Ukrainian maneuvers

OPYTNOYE /DPR/, September 12. /TASS/. Ukrainian assault units have been suffering heavy losses as they have been unable to advance or gain a foothold in the village of Opytnoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), despite their recent rhetoric, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

"Servicemen of the 1st Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces have been eliminating Ukrainian manpower and hardware while repelling attempts by Ukrainian assault units to break through or gain a foothold in the village of Opytnoye in the DPR. The Ukrainian assault units are suffering heavy losses, and, despite the statements they have been making, they cannot advance or gain a foothold in Opytnoye," the ministry said.

Russian forces have been using reconnaissance and unmanned aerial vehicles to track Ukrainian maneuvers, unleashing artillery fire on Ukrainian assault teams, the Russian top brass specified. "Units of the 1st Army Corps have been rebuffing attacks by Ukrainian militants as they keep the locality under control," the Defense Ministry added.

To confirm that, the ministry has released footage in which the sounds of artillery and armored vehicles in action can be heard.

Ukraine has lost 71,500 servicemen since the beginning of the counteroffensive which has yielded no results so far, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF). According to the Russian leader, Kiev has already lost 543 tanks and almost 18,000 armored vehicles of various types.

Shipments of new weapons to Kiev won’t affect battlefront situation — Putin
The president pointed out that the US electoral process will kick off in November and "they need to show at least some result at all costs, so they are pushing Ukrainians to continue hostilities"

VLADIVOSTOK, September 12. /TASS/. Deliveries of new weapons to Ukraine, including cluster munitions, depleted-uranium rounds and F-16 fighter jets, will not change the situation on the frontline, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum, or EEF.

"Will it change anything? I don’t think so. I'm sure it won't. Will it prolong things? Yes, it is doing so. The other thing is worrying - that there are no restrictions," he said.

He said that, "not long ago, the US Administration believed that the use of cluster munitions is a war crime, and they publicly said so."

"Now they themselves are supplying cluster munitions to the area of hostilities in Ukraine," Putin said. He noted that the US electoral process will kick off in November and "they need to show at least some result at all costs, so they are pushing Ukrainians to continue hostilities."

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov described the US decision to supply the Kiev regime with depleted-uranium shells as "very bad news" and said the use of similar munitions by NATO forces in Yugoslavia had "very sad consequences that were recorded even by international organizations," including an increase in cancer rates.

The 8th Eastern Economic Forum is being held in Vladivostok from September 10-13, 2023. The slogan for this year’s forum is: On the Path to Partnership Peace and Prosperity. The Roscongress Foundation is the event organizer. TASS is the EEF’s prime media partner.

Kherson direction
situation as of 12.00 September 12, 2023

🔻Enemy activity does not subside off the banks of the Dnieper. Yesterday morning, the AFU again landed on Pereyaslavsky (Kazatsky) island with two reconnaissance groups of 131 orbs, eight people each.

Moreover, this was the second attempt, since at night the recon groups on boats were unable to leave the pier due to the destruction of the position of the mortar crew in Olgovka, which was supposed to cover the recon groups.

Only after the deployment of an additional 120-mm mortar and artillery fire from the 406th Artillery Brigade from Tomarino, units of the 131st reconnaissance battalion were again on Kozatsky.

🔻To the west, the command of the tactical group “Grom” and the 126th Terrestrial Defense Brigade of the AFU carried out a rotation of advanced groups on four boats on the islands of Aleshkinsky and Alekseevsky, where observation points are being equipped.

The situation in this zone remains the same, but the AFU are strengthening their positions on the left bank. Artillery and mortars are continuously firing at Russian territories, and yesterday an air defense crew shot down another Tekever AR3 UAV over Vinogradovo.

Counterattack is not a movie with a happy ending, we won't have a happy ending, we lost a lot of people. There will be no happy ending, - Zelenskyi.

As expected. WarGonzo (russian military blogger) reports that the AFU has entered Andriivka. The AFU has invested in cutting off the supply route to this small village, which now seems to be paying off.
