The Ukrainian military command, after two months of counter-offensive, decided to throw the last strategic reserves into the battle after the terrible losses and repeated crushing defeats mainly in Zaporizhia, but also in Bakhmut-South Donetsk.
The information was revealed by the Americans through the Washington Post. The reason was the recent defeats of the Ukrainian Army. You can see the new videos below, all of which are from the latest battles in Zaporizhzhya.
It is a total victory, a crushing victory of the Russian Army which essentially ends the Ukrainian "counter-offensive". Russians claim 43,000 Ukrainian casualties in 60 days. It is 50% of the total Ukrainian force that NATO had assembled and prepared for the counterattack.
The original plan of the Americans and the Ukrainians was for Kiev to throw the strategic reserves into the battle since the Russian defense had been "broken" so that they could then advance towards Berdyansk-Melitopolis.
This has never happened resulting in Kiev using the strategic reserves for offensive operations. The very bad situation of Kiev was seen yesterday when WarNews247 wrote that the Ukrainians threw the Polish Brigade into battle with PT-91 Twardy.
Kiev throws into battle the 10th Army Corps, which was in strategic reserve, in the area of the settlement of Rabotino in the Zaporizhzhya region..
American sources told the newspaper that in Rabotino, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have the best chance of overcoming the resistance of Russian units. However, from this settlement to the main defense lines of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there are still 19 km.
The Washington Post notes that the first stage of the offensive by Ukrainian troops began in June, when the 9th Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ran into strong defensive lines and minefields of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and was forced to retreat after heavy losses in western military equipment.
During the second stage, the Ukrainians carried out infantry attacks. Kiev tried to gain an advantage over the Russians using asymmetric warfare methods (that is, using the weaknesses of the Russian military), but this also did not lead to significant progress and the desired results.
These developments forced the Ukrainian Command to throw the 10th Army Corps into the battle in the direction of Zaporizhia.
Ukrainian sources say today's weather favors Russian troops, who are striking with artillery and drones. At the same time, the new Ukrainian army formations are not as successful as the experienced units that fought near Kherson and Kharkiv.
One understands what is going to happen in the region when the Ukrainians start making excuses…
New videos show the destruction of Ukrainian military phalanxes in Zaporizhia.
The Ukrainian Army has suffered major defeats in the Rabotino region. Recently the Ukrainians came close to breaking through the Russian defenses but a sudden Russian counterattack pushed them away from the settlement.
Video shot by soldiers of the 58th Combined Arms Army of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation shows the defeat of the advancing armored group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The first video shows how a phalanx of Ukrainian armored vehicles with Storm Troopers tries to approach the Russian positions, moving between fields and forest zones. The Ukrainians are spotted by a Russian drone and Russian artillery opens fire on them.
Part of the Ukrainian equipment and personnel was destroyed, the survivors quickly leave the battlefield.
After a short time, having replenished the losses, the Ukrainians will attempt a new attack. The outskirts of Rabotino are literally littered with damaged equipment and bodies of Ukrainian soldiers.
The second video shows how the surviving Ukrainian soldiers, the crew of an armored car try to return back after a failed attack. They follow a proper withdrawal tactic, since the surrounding area may have been mined not only by anti-tank, but also by anti-personnel mines.
It should be noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are losing a large number of equipment units and military personnel every day in the huge minefields created by the Russians (up to 1,000 mines per square kilometer), which are too many.
