Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on August 31, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy continues to spread false information about controlling Synkivka. Lately, they've lacked the necessary forces. Intense fighting near Novoiehorivka, with the enemy deploying about a battalion of tanks. Some have been destroyed, but they're improving logistics and bridging efforts.

📊 Updated frontline in Serebryanske forestry. In late July, the katsaps launched a massive attack and overran one of the newly formed brigades. Only now could we define a stable combat contact line. Further enemy advancement was immediately halted.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — ongoing combat near Klishchiivka, Andriivka, and Orikhovo-Vasylivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the enemy had unsuccessful offensive operations near Avdiivka and in Marinka.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — updated the area around Shevchenko village.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — battles continue west of Verbove.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The summer campaign has ended, and the autumn one, which still offers opportunities for offensive actions, begins. The fall of '22 was significant: landing in Serebryanske forestry, the Fredericus 2.0 offensive at Izium, advances at Lyman, deoccupation of Kherson, and even some successful actions in Enerhodar. The enemy continues mining and improving their engineering and fortification structure system. Hence, in the spring of '24, the conditions for land offensives will worsen. We trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

🇬🇪Georgia's ruling party starts impeachment proceedings against President Salome Zurabishvili

🗣The reason for this was the president's visits to Europe, which were not coordinated with the party leadership, said Irakli Kobakhidze, leader of the Georgian Dream party.

🇪🇺Earlier, the presidential administration reported that Salome would visit European countries to receive support for joining the European Union:

💭«It is from this visit that the President of Georgia begins meetings with European leaders in support of granting Georgia the status of an EU candidate country,» the presidential administration said, commenting on the meeting with German President Steinmeier.

🇺🇦In particular, he planned to visit Ukraine on Independence Day, but the parliament refused to allow her to go.

👨‍💻According to the impeachment law, the parliament can start the impeachment process if the president violates the Constitution of Georgia and if the Constitutional Court confirms this violation in its opinion. For the procedure to be successful, 100 votes out of 150 in the parliament are required - the ruling party has 81.

🐘 Republican debates without a de facto candidate

📆 The first Republican debate was held on August 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was attended by 8 candidates out of 9 qualified to participate. The ninth would have been Donald Trump, who refused to appear at the debate. Instead, he gave an interview to pro-Russian journalist Tucker Carlson.

🎙 During the two-hour debate, the most talked about issues were abortion, Donald Trump, the Mexican border, education, and Ukraine.

💩 The new candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who is currently third in the polls after former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has been the most anti-Ukrainian in his rhetoric.

💭"I think it's time to end the disastrous policy of sending billions of dollars to help Ukraine fight the Russian invasion. It distracts from the real problems our country is facing," - said Vivek Ramaswamy.

📊 Trump's absence at the first debate did not have a significant impact on his position in the polls, but it should be noted that the former president's support has dropped slightly compared to the numbers before the debate. We can talk about a loss of 3-4% of support. Even after that, Donald Trump has the support of more than half of the Republican Party. Ron DeSantis, as mentioned above, is in second place with 15% support.

🧑‍⚖️ It is safe to say that the growing number of court cases against Donald Trump only increases the level of his intra-party support. The effect on the numbers in national polls is either insignificant or non-existent.

➡️ The next debate will take place on September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. It is currently unknown whether Donald Trump will attend.

👤 Footage has emerged of Ukrainian fighters walking past a destroyed katsap T-72B3 south of point 121.4

🚩 To the east, near the "dragon's teeth", it is stated that the 82nd Air Assault Brigade is fighting, and to the west is the enemy.

⚔️ Heavy fighting is taking place north of Novoiehorivka for height 190.8

👤 The head of the press service of the Eastern group of forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ilya Yevlash, confirms these words: "Out of seven tanks destroyed in a day in the direction of Lyman and Kupiansk, six are near Novoiehorivka. There were eight assaults from the enemy side there".

🏎 However, as we noted earlier, there remains a serious problem of inability to hit the crossings over Zherebets. Because of this, the katsaps have enough options to move armored vehicles to Serhiivka for further assaults on our fortifications.

🫡 In addition to the rangers and paratroopers, the newly formed 43th Mechanized Brigade is also performing well in that direction.

✈️ Statistics of visual observation of the use of FPV drones for strikes in August

📈 In August, the use of FPV drones went strongly in our favor. In fact, the number of strikes doubled (by 100%), while the katsaps increased by 21%. Of course, we can't record everything, but in our team's opinion, the real correlation won't differ much from this one.

ℹ️ It is worth understanding that this statistic more likely reflects the approximate correlation of FPV drone strikes rather than their use on the front. It is impossible to estimate the number of actual uses, as there is no statistics: neither from us nor from the f***ers.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on September 1, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes. The enemy has intensified shelling of the northern part of the Kharkiv region.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the hottest spot remains near Novoiehorivka. The Defense Forces destroyed six tanks there. Despite this, the katsaps continue to press there, bring up equipment, and introduce fresh units of convicts-shoiguists. In recent weeks, enemy artillery has been activated in the Serebryansk forestry.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — combat operations continue in the area of Klishchiivka and Andriivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — fighting continues near Novoprokopivka.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. It is important that the pace of advancement on the Melitopol direction has significantly increased compared to the first months of the offensive. Everything will depend on the development of events near Verbove and Novoprokopivka in the near future. Near Robotyne, the first paratroopers from the 104th regiment of the 76th airborne assault division are already being captured. The 234th and 237th regiments have either already arrived in the combat zone or are still moving from Kreminna. The withdrawal of units from Kreminna indicates the enemy's problems with reserves, which he is trying to solve in this way.

🇭🇺🤡"The Western world, which supports Ukraine, must provide security guarantees to Russia, but by no means NATO membership to Ukrainians," - Head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office Gergely Gulyás

🤦‍♂️The Head of the Prime Minister's Office stated that there are no real chances for Ukraine to regain occupied territories and that "it is also clear that russia is not a threat to Central Europe since russians have not achieved rapid and breakthrough results in the last one and a half years", and Ukrainians did not receive armed assistance from anyone at the initial stage. Gulyás added that no negotiations will take place without the participation of the Americans.

🤕Gergely believes that the only possibility for long-term peace in Ukraine is the deployment of peacekeeping forces and providing security guarantees to Muscovy.

🇸🇪Specifically, the head of the office commented on the ratification of Sweden's accession to NATO:

💭"Sweden's accession has not yet been ratified due to unfair and unfounded accusations that Swedes have made against our country in recent years...".

🇷🇺 The ministry of attack of muscovy is taking over the power of wagner in Africa

🌍A delegation tour of African countries is ongoing. Yesterday, colonel-general yunus-bek bamatgireyevich yevkurov arrived in 🇲🇱Mali. Before that, he had already visited 🇱🇾Libya, 🇸🇾Syria, 🇨🇫CAR and 🇧🇫Burkina Faso. In all these countries, mercenaries of prigozhin previously had significant power.

🤐Specific details of the visits are not disclosed, but we can see the ongoing process of changing influences and a crazy orientation of russia towards the African continent. Interestingly, will they only take, as usual, or also bring and support aid with the same water, as Western partners constantly do?
