🇱🇹Scandal in Lithuania: President Gitanas Nausėda was not informed about the training of the Commander-in-Chief in Muscovy

👤 Valdemaras Rupšys, a general, concealed the fact that in 1985-1989 he studied at the Novocherkassk Higher Military School.

✍️«The Defense Ministry did not provide this information when it submitted his candidacy to the president. The President was informed about Rupšys' training later <...> The President's opinion of the Chief of the General Staff is based on Rupšys' more than 30 years of service in Lithuania,» the Presidential Chancellery told the BNS news agency.

🪖Laurinas Kasciunas, chairman of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, also says he was unaware of this fact.

💬«In 2019, when the procedure for the appointment of the Minister of Defense was underway, the committee considered his candidacy, but we did not know about this fact, and the resume did not mention it <...> I think it should have been mentioned. I don't think it would have affected the outcome of the vote, but there should be no white spots in the biography of people in such positions, because it can make them vulnerable,» the official said.

⚔️ Enemy has partial success near Krasnohorivka (A)

🗡 Judging by the footage of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade's control battery and artillery reconnaissance, the drops are being made on our positions that the enemy attacked in early October. The forest belts are located right near the height of 234.4, so it will be even more difficult to hold along the railroad to Novokalynove and it is important to prevent further advancement towards Stepne.

⚔️ North of Kopani, the enemy lost control of some of the forest belts from its front line

📹 Katsaps are publishing strikes on trenches north of Kopani. Moreover, the presence of our troops in the trenches is evident according to the video footage. Most likely, changes there occurred back in late summer, when it was unclear whether the positions were successfully secured or not.

⭐ Soldiers of the 66th Mechanized Brigade's ATGM company destroyed a katsap T-90 tank during another attempt to storm Defense Forces positions east of Makiivka

⏩The enemy continues to press on the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna sector, not giving up attempts to break through Ukrainian military defenses in specific areas. In particular, katsaps tried to conduct assault actions on Makiivka but were successfully halted with significant losses in equipment and personnel, thanks to the brigade units stationed there.

🔎One of the f***ers' typical tactics can be noted—wave attacks. We recently observed a certain lull in assaults, as the enemy had lost a large number of forces in their previous attempts to advance. Instead of assaults, there was increased use of artillery. Now the enemy has resumed active offensive actions again, losing a lot of equipment.

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on October 8, 2023

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

▶️ On the Svatove direction — midweek, the enemy concentrated around Makiivka and had partial success along the road east of the settlement. Many enemy armored vehicles were destroyed. Currently, the enemy is amassing new forces near Kreminna, which could lead to a new attempt at a massive assault on our positions.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — fighting continues behind the railroad near Klishchiivka and Andriivka. Update in the area of Verkhnokamianka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — in early October, the enemy conducted offensive actions west of Krasnohorivka (A) and had partial success.

▶️ On the Berdiansk direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — the enemy attacked north of Marfopol, had partial success, but suffered very heavy losses, which forced them to stop. North of Kopani, the katsaps were pushed back from the landing line, which was the closest to the front line. Thanks to the efforts of the airborne assault troops, they managed to achieve partial success west of Verbove.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The first days of October proved very challenging for the Defense Forces, but the enemy either had no success or achieved minimal success compared to their plans. In the south, our offensive actions are complicated not only by the large number of f***ers' defenses, but also by their ability to counterattack. Overall, the situation is difficult and unpleasant.
