In the direction of Kharkiv, according to experts, no major changes took place.The Russians mostly succeed in killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure with the help of artillery and rockets.According to them, the attack has completely exhausted itself, the aggressor is trying to carry out local attacks in the northern section (Dementijivka), but without success.True, the situation may change if the aggressor throws the reserve in Belgorod-Kursk into the sector.In Iziume, the aggressor's attack fizzled out - all attempts to attack were countered.Military experts write that a transition to defense is observed in all sections of the sector.In Liman, the artillery of both sides works without changes.In the Lisichiansk sector, the Ukrainians continue to defend themselves in the Vovchoyarivka - Verchnokamyanka section, the situation is worsening.According to them, the battles are taking place in the settlement of Vovchojarivka, at that time the Russian maneuver units have not yet managed to enter Verchnokamyankoa."It is true that the aggressor entered the Lisitiansk oil refinery.The worst thing is that the aggressor has broken through the defense, the battles are taking place in Malorjazantseve.It looks like the stretch is split in half," they write.According to them, the aggressor claims to be in control of Prybile, a settlement north of Lisichiansk, located in Severskyj Donets bend.Military experts say that they cannot yet confirm this information from other sources, but the aggressor has the forces for such an action and such an operation would be logical from his side.As long as Sverodonetsk held, the aggressor could not cross the river here, but when the city was occupied, the occupiers tried to attack Lisichianska from the north."Then the attack was not successful, but even then it was clear that they had the opportunity to move to the other side of Severskyi Donets.Perhaps they decided to first build a bridgehead on the other side of the river and then attack Lisichianska from the north.We will monitor the situation," they write.According to experts, problems in the sector are increasing, the withdrawal of Ukrainians to a new section (eg Bilohorivka - Verchnokamyanka) would be logical.Clashes on the Bakhmut - Lisiciansk road continue.The aggressor's breakthroughs to the western side of the road at Spirne are becoming more frequent, the Russians are pushing harder and harder towards Soledar.In the Svitlodarsk section, the aggressor on the right flank continues to be active.True, the Ukrainians stopped the Russians' attempt to break through the defenses at Klynovė and move towards Bakhmut.Meanwhile, in the center and on the left flank, the aggressor's attack is stuck, he keeps trying to occupy the settlements around the water barriers, including the Vuhlehirsk power plant."One gets the impression that the most powerful group of orcs is operating here, reinforcements of the aggressor are traveling from other sectors.It would not be desirable for the Ukrainians to not have enough forces to maintain the Bakhmut - Spire line while stubbornly defending Lisichianska.In this case, the way to Siversk would open up for the aggressor, thus blocking or encircling a much larger group of Ukrainians than just the forces in Lisichiansk.However, this is just a look while sitting on the sofa, Ukrainians with full information should make adequate decisions", they say.In Zaporizhzhia, according to experts, the Ukrainians continue to successfully defend the bridgehead they won on the southern bank of the Kaslahakhach River, the Russian counterattacks are running out of steam.The Ukrainians are strengthening their defenses, accumulating resources, and regrouping.It cannot be ruled out that Ukrainian counterattacks will resume after some time.The aggressor nevertheless established himself in Kysylivka located in the southern direction.It is true that it would have been inconvenient for the Ukrainians to stay in it from a tactical point of view, because after aligning the flanks, Kysilyvka would still be too deep into the Russian defense, that is, it would be under fire from at least three sides.So, retreating, the Ukrainians leveled the front line.According to "Locked N' Loaded", the Ukrainians resumed active actions in the Krivy Rih section, during a counterattack they liberated Potyomkynė.In this way, the aggressor's positions around Arkhangelsk are surrounded by Ukrainians on three sides."Well, we can't help but mention what you all already know - orcs generously and proudly greased their skis from Snake Island.They were periodically beaten there before, but in the last five days, the aggressor's positions were completely crushed, and who could have guessed - they withdrew.As if icing on the cake, the aggressor's boat flew into the air near Mariupol," they write.Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that his country is not responsible for the...The withdrawal of Russian forces from Snake Island, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyi, provides...On Thursday, the Seimas finally approved granting the status of head of state to the Supreme...The war in Ukraine has become another cruel blow to this country's recovery after the pandemic...On Saturday, a cold atmospheric front will slowly pass through Lithuania, which will already displace the hot...US intelligence believes that the goal of its Russian leader in the near future is to strengthen the position in Donbas...After an almost year-long investigation into the gruesome death of a man in Šalčininkai district, Šauliai village,...On Friday evening, the space of the "Open'er" festival in Gdynia was hit by a huge...Trailing by a double-digit margin in the fourth quarter, the Lithuanian national basketball team started threateningly...The story of the Lithuanian Vitalija, who unexpectedly disappeared in Great Britain in August 2011...The Lithuanian national basketball team continues to march without stumbling in the first selection of the World Championship...The head of Luhansk region administration, Serhijus Haidajus, stated on Thursday that the situation...
