MELITOPOL, September 19. /TASS/. Russian forces have moved forward by up to 1 kilometer after a counterattack on Ukrainian units in the Vremevka area, Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the We Are Together with Russia movement, told TASS.

"There is some success in the Vremevka area. There were offensive operations [by Russian forces] and counterattacks yesterday, and they were successful. Our boys moved forward through wooded areas, over rough terrain, by up to 1 kilometer and took control of some of the territory that was held by Ukrainian fighters," Rogov said.

He said Ukrainian units are gearing up for defense in the Vremevka area.

"Ukrainian forces started to rapidly build a line of defense in the Vremevka area. According to intelligence data, visual monitoring, reports from local residents, work is underway to erect fortifications, defense lines," the politician said. "They are not so much attacking as preparing for defense."

Rogov added that Russian forces repelled a Ukrainian attack near Staromayorskoye in the DPR.

"The enemy was dispersed by fire. There were attacks in the area of Novodonetskoye and Urozhaynoye. They were repelled as well," he went on to say.

The Russian Defense Ministry earlier said that Ukrainian forces had been making unsuccessful attempts at an offensive since June 4. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 12 that Ukraine had lost 71,500 servicemen, 543 tanks and almost 18,000 armored vehicles of different types over that time. According to the president, the Ukrainian counteroffensive has achieved no results.

Aleksandr Kots talks about the situation in Klischiivka. Disregarding his intel on positioning, he says Ukrainians have crazy artillery firepower and an advantage in drones. He also says once Ukrainians take a position, they can fill it with concrete and build it up overnight. That is an interesting post from a known propagandist.

Soledar direction: concentration of the AFU on the flanks of Bakhmut
situation as of 13.00 September 19, 2023

🔻While the main attention of all media has shifted to the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, heavy fighting continues near Bakhmut in several areas. Despite the statements of some Ukrainian sources about the capture of the village of Kleshcheevka, as well as the complete destruction of several brigades of the Russian Armed Forces, including the 72nd Motorized Rifle Brigade, in reality this is not the case.

Fighting in the village continues, and most of it is in the gray zone. Yesterday, two assault groups of the 28th mechanized brigade again attacked the positions, trying to break through to the railway, but to no avail.

🔻At the same time, west of Kleshcheevka, as well as south of Andreevka, there is a concentration of new assault units. Three detachments of the 3rd assault brigade have taken up positions and are preparing for a new attack.

Similar preparations are observed in the north at the Berkhovskoye Reservoir. The other day, tank units of the 17th Tank Brigade arrived in Bogdanovka, which had been undergoing replenishment for several months.

❗️Judging by the simultaneous activation of the AFU, the offensive on the flanks of Bakhmut will be coordinated in time, and the goal is to cover the city from both sides and cut off the supply routes of the Russian Armed Forces Forces group in order to force them to withdraw.

RUSSIA MASSIVE CASUALTIES AND DEAD IN THE WAR

in line with the payout information from Russian Federal Treasury's online budget portal (in spoiler), this has now proven that at least 230,000 russian soldiers are killed during the war with nearly a million considered wounded in action or some may have wounded twice or more.


------


The Russian authorities have ordered 230,000 certificates for family members of deceased veterans.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Development of Russia has ordered more than 750,000 certificates for veterans of combat operations and 230,000 certificates for family members of deceased veterans, Russian media, citing data published on the Russian state procurement portal.

In total, more than 900,000 veterans' certificates and about 260,000 certificates for family members of the deceased have been ordered since the beginning of the war in Ukraine.

Since June, the list of those who are entitled to the certificates of "family members of the dead (deceased) disabled veterans, participants of the Great Patriotic War and veterans of combat operations" also includes relatives of volunteers killed in the war (which, apparently, include mercenaries of the Wagner PMC).

Russia claims that only several thousand of its soldiers were killed in the "special military operation". The indirect numbers, like these certificate orders, give a clearer picture.

Orekhovsky sector: transfer of additional forces of the AFU
situation as of 11.00 September 19, 2023

🔻 At the Orikhiv sector, fighting continues near Verbovoy. The intensity of enemy attacks has decreased, but in the coming days the offensive will resume with renewed vigor as part of Zelensky’s visit to the United States.

▪️ Now reserves are being moved to the front line to conduct a new assault. Units of the 71st Jaeger Brigade arrived to the west of Verbovoy to make up for losses, and in the area of Balki Chubenkova three combined groups of the 82nd Air Assault Brigade and 46th Airmobile Brigade are on standby.

▪️ AFU losses are growing. Because of this, an unidentified connection was transferred from the Sumy region. In addition, another assault battalion took up positions in Veselyanka. Also northeast of Novopokrovka, the appearance of the 12th separate tank battalion was noted.

▪️ At the same time, new units may arrive within a few days. Since September 15, a convoy of military equipment in the amount of 132 units passed through Dnipro, including 56 Kirpi armored fighting vehicles, 20 Hummer armored fighting vehicles, ten VAB armored fighting vehicles, five Mastiff armored fighting vehicles, two BTR-70 armored personnel carriers, two Husky armored fighting vehicles, one MLRS RM-70 Vampire, 11 Grad MLRS and about 3.3 thousand people.

Russian propagandist Sladkov is so shocked by the ability of Ukrainians to create drones from the most simple materials, he even admits that NATO support does not and will not play any role in this.

And he's perplexed as to how the self-proclaimed second military in the world is unable to produce wooden or plastic drones en masse.

Explosions are reported in Melitopol.
Mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, reports at least 5 explosions were heard.

Vremevsky section: retreat of the AFU from Novomayorsky and strikes by the Russian Armed Forces
situation as of 15.00 September 19, 2023

Although attention is now focused on what is happening in Nagorno-Karabakh, the fighting in the special military operation zone continues: in the Vremevsky sector, the AFU continue to regroup and rotate personnel to resume the assault on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️ Russian troops are actively striking enemy strongholds and other identified targets: concentrations of personnel of the 37th and 38th Ukrainian Marine Brigades were hit in Shakhtersk and Novoukrainka. During the counter-battery battle near Makarovka, the D-30 howitzer and the Polish Krab self-propelled guns were destroyed.

▪️ At the same time, information is received about the retreat of the AFU from the northwestern outskirts of Novomayorsky. For several weeks they tried to cling to the development of the settlement, but the soldiers of the 40th Guards Marine Brigade remained stable in defense and repelled all attacks.

▪️ Also in the forest belt west of Staromayorsky, forces of the 253rd battalion of the 129th Territorial Defense brigade, transferred from the direction of Makarovka, were seen. The introduction of reserves into battle indirectly confirms the losses of the 1st Tank Brigade rifle battalion that was previously operating there.

My mistake. Found the link and source.

Kherson direction: landings in the island zone of the Dnieper
situation as of 18.00 September 19, 2023

🔻 Despite statements from various resources about attempts to gain a foothold on the left bank, the enemy actually controls a small bridgehead in the island zone of the Dnieper.

Several sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the 131st reconnaissance battalion of the AFU Armed Forces were transferred to Kozatsky Island - now the northern part of the island is under the control of the AFU.

Mortar crews cover the forward detachments with fire. At the same time, at night, Ukrainian formations tried to rotate. From Olgovka the command of the AFU wanted to send the recon groups by boat, but it was destroyed by artillery.

🔻 Similarly, assault troops from the Normandy tactical group landed on the left bank of the Dnieper north of Podstepnoye, where they began equipping observation posts.

There are no signs of preparation for an offensive at the moment; Ukrainian formations are conducting reconnaissance, simultaneously shelling the forward lines of the Russian Armed Forces with artillery and mortars.

🔻 However, a large concentration of manpower was noticed in Davydov Brod, and a large convoy of military equipment, including light armored ones, arrived from Krivoy Rog to Snigirevka. The choice of mobile vehicles is not accidental in the context of a possible operation of the AFU on the left bank of the Dnieper.

Small armored fighting vehicles will be able to move on soft ground. And in the vicinity of Kherson, pontoon-bridge units of the AFU have been operating for a long time, so the Ukrainian formations are preparing a bridgehead and waiting for the most convenient moment to strike.

Yes I think so. If not penetrated, it can damage the strength already, which might be compromised by the depth pressure later on when she dive
