⚡️🇧🇾🇷🇺🇺🇦 Situation in the Belarusian Direction by the End of 20 Oct 2022⚡️

⚠️ Amid rumours of an imminent offensive by the Russian Forces either on #Lvov with #Volyn, #Kiev, #Chernigov or #Kharkov, the @Rybar's team decided to turn its attention to the northern regions of #Ukraine and report regularly on the developments there.

Currently, the Ukrainian command continues to reinforce the troop grouping in the north of the country. Reinforcements are being moved to the regions bordering #Belarus, and fortifications are being built in the #Kharkov Region.

#Kharkov Sector:

▪️ A grouping has been formed to prevent Russian troops from resuming their offensive on the regional centre.

▪️ Military personnel of the AFU engineering units are building fortifications at the #Okop - #Veterinarnoye line as well as in #Lukyantsy. Territorial Defence detachments are manning firing positions.

▪️ AFU reconnaissance groups are reconnoitring in the border areas. Observation posts have been established near #Volchansk, #Ternovaya and #Revolyutsionny.

▪️ Artillery crews are deployed near Malye Prokhody, #Borshchevaya, #Liptsy, #Veseloye. And two 155mm Bogdan self-propelled artillery units have been moved to #Pobeda (#Peremoga).

#Chernigov Sector:

▪️ Ukrainian formations are preparing for a possible offensive by the Russian Forces. North of Novgorod-Seversky and in #Shostka, the 209th Anti Tank Division of the 403rd AFU Artillery Brigade has set up an ambush in hidden firing positions.

▪️ Sabotage groups with SPG-9 anti-tank grenade launchers have taken up positions near Seredina-Buda and Gremyach settlements. And 155-mm artillery pieces have been deployed south of Seredina-Buda.

▪️ Several detachments of English-speaking mercenaries - mostly US citizens - have been moved to the area of the #Desna combined arms training ground.

#Kiev Sector:

Ukrainian formations with the forces of the 6th Border Unit and Special Forces reconnaissance groups conduct patrols in the vicinity of the Rudnya-Ilyinetskaya and #Rudki settlements.

▪️ Engineer teams of the 115th Territorial Defence Brigade are setting up mine barriers on the likely offensive routes of the combined group of troops from #Belarus.

▪️ The Ukrainian command notes that Russian soldiers are using UAVs of various types on a large scale. The Ukrainian Air Force command post has been moved to #Bushevo due to the risk of strikes on rear facilities.

▪️ Several electronic warfare assets, including Khmara and Anklav, were deployed in #Brovary to counter drones and suppress communication channels.

#Northwest Section:

Ukrainian formations continue to prepare reserves to replenish the troops groupings in various directions.

▪️ A new unit, the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade of Airborne Assault Troops, is being formed at the 37th Combined Arms Range of the AFU in #Perlyavka, southwest of #Zhytomyr. The 67th Mechanized Reserve Brigade will be established at the 184th training centre in #Starichi.

▪️ A command and observation post of the 2nd Special Forces Unit of the 71st AFU Jager Brigade is established near the settlement of #Vezhitsa in the #Rivne region. Six reconnaissance units of the 71st Jager Brigade patrol the border areas with #Belarus on a daily basis.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Highlights of Russia's #SMO in #Ukraine at 21 Oct 2022, 22:31 Moscow Time⚡️

1. #Kherson Direction:
The enemy conducted reconnaissance battles in the #KrivoyRog and #Nikopol directions. Some losses were sustained but no success.
Positional fighting continued in the #Nikolaev direction. Enemy continues to concentrate forces in #Nikolaev and #Nikopol directions to resume offensive operations against #Kherson and #Berislav.
In #Kherson itself, the evacuation of civilians continues due to the threat of an explosion at the #Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant.

2. #Donetsk Direction:
Our troops continue to hold the initiative here, conducting an offensive on #Opytnoye (small advance) and mopping up #Pervomayskoye.
The capture of #Opytnoye and #Pervomayskoye will worsen the situation for the enemy near #Avdeevka, but so far the rate of advance of our troops here is not very high.
The enemy continues terrorist shelling of the #Donetsk - #Gorlovka agglomeration.

3. #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction:
Our troops continue fighting near #Opytnoye and to the south of #Artemovsk.
The enemy at the expense of reserves accumulated near Chasov Yar tried to counterattack several times, but without significant results. Positional fighting on the eastern outskirts of the city. In the #Soledar area also unchanged, fighting in the city, north of the city the enemy periodically tries to attack, but without much success.
In the #Seversk sector - positional fighting near #Belogorovka and #Spornoye.

4. #Svatovo Direction:
Fighting continues near #Terny and #Torskoye. The fighting here has finally taken a positional character, which has stabilized the situation near the #Kremennaya area, which at this stage is in our favor.
West of #Svatovo, after our attacks and advances to the north-east of #Kupyansk, the enemy is transferring reserves and probing opportunities for active action in the direction of #Svatovo. There is an accumulation of equipment and foreign mercenaries. It is too early to talk about the complete stabilisation of the #Svatovo sector.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Fiend Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine from American Troll and Muzzlewhores Institute for the Study of War (ISW):

⚠️ Did I miss something? Evacuation of civilians at risk is required under international humanitarian law. The Russians are not behaving like the Ukrainian war criminals who use civilians as human shields. This is not a retreat.

🌊 How insane do you have to be to assume, and moreover to announce to the world, that Russia is planning to flood its own territory?

On the consequences of a dam breach, here is the animation and more info about 👉 "Map of Flooding in #Kherson Oblast in the Event of a Dambreach at the Kakhovka HPP"

〽️ Nothing on the recent AFU defeats? When things go badly on the front, fairy tales are invented to distract. They are and will remain pathetic US government troll puppies. 👻

October 21 Key Takeaways🔻

▪️ The Russian withdrawal from western Kherson Oblast has begun. Russian forces likely intend to continue that withdrawal over the next several weeks but may struggle to withdraw in good order if Ukrainian forces choose to attack.

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin is demonstrably setting conditions for Russia to continue a protracted war in Ukraine, not for a negotiated settlement or offramp.

▪️ Russian forces will likely attempt to blow up the dam at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) to cover their withdrawal from Kherson City and to prevent Ukrainian forces from pursuing Russian forces deeper into Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on October 21 creating a Russian government “coordination council” to improve wartime federal coordination.

▪️ Russian and Ukrainian sources reported fighting northeast of Kharkiv City along the international border, on the Svatove-Kreminna frontline, and west of Lysychansk.

▪️ Ukrainian military officials offered a limited overview of the situation on the frontline.

▪️ Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command emphasized that Russian forces are using Ukrainian civilians as human shields when transporting military equipment across the Dnipro River, while Russian sources released footage showing a line of civilians awaiting the ferry from Kherson City.

▪️ Russian forces continued ground attacks in Donetsk Oblast and routine fire west of Hulyaipole and in Mykolaiv Oblast.

▪️ Russian authorities are attempting to maintain the façade of sustainable and strong logistics in southern Ukraine while accelerating measures to compensate for the Kerch Strait Bridge attack.

▪️ Fissures between regional Russian officials, the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) and military commissariats, and the Russian civilian population from which mobilization draws will likely intensify in the coming months.

▪️ Russian authorities are preventing Ukrainians in Russia from leaving Russia with complex residency and permit requirements to cross international borders.

▪️ Russian occupation authorities continued the mass forced removal of civilians from the west bank of the Dnipro River under the guise of civilian “evacuations.”

⚠️ Contrary to the utterly insane ISW trolls blathering about an incipient withdrawal from the Kherson region, here is today's utterly embarrassing report from the US Disinformation Brigade 👉 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine, our Brits have found out that Russia is reinforcing the #Dnipro crossings. Why did the British lose the war against the Yanks 1775 - 1783?

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡 @RybarAnalysis: Attacks by Russian Forces on Ukraine's Energy System on 22 Oct 2022 to 12:00⚡️

🔎 Rybar's team continues its daily analysis of the consequences of systemic fire attacks on Ukraine's energy system. This morning, the Russian Armed Forces once again launched massive strikes.

🔻 List of likely targets to be hit:

▪️ #Volyn and #Rivne Regions:

The outages in #Rivne and #Lutsk can be explained by a strike on the 330kV open switchgear (OSG) of the #Rivne NPP. But we doubt it: it is more likely that the strikes hit the #Lutsk - Severnaya 330 kV substation and the #Rivne 330 kV substation.

▪️ #Kirovograd Region:

As power outages were detected in Golovanevsky and Kropivnitsky districts, the Russian Forces may have hit the Pobuzhskaya 330/110 kV substation (two 330/110 kV autotransformers and one 150/35 kV transformer).

▪️ #Odessa Region:

Judging by the pattern of power outages, Russian Forces have hit the #Usatovo substation. It is unlikely that the strike hit the substation's general control station (GCS) as the open switchgear (OSG) is operational. The substation has three 330/110kV autotransformers and one of which was most likely hit.

Despite the outages in the #Podolsk region, we could not confirm that the 330 kV Podolskaya substation was affected. Because then the picture of the power distribution would have been different.

Behind the power outage in #Yuzhnoye is most likely a strike on the #Ajalyk 330/110 kV substation. Where exactly it was hit cannot be said without further information. The hit is indirectly confirmed and explained by increased overflows from Romania.

The outage in #Mayaki indicates a probable impact on the Novoodesskaya 330/110 kV substation. The situation is similar as at the #Usatovo substation: if there was a strike, it was not at the open switchgear, but at one of the two autotransformers. The 330 kV switchgear is operational.

▪️ #Khmelnitsky Region:

Repeated impact on the Khmelnitskaya 330/110 kV substation.

⚡️🇺🇦💡🛤 Yes No, the Task is just That⚡️

Just initially worked neatly and point by point, auto transformers trashed (it's a one-off production, takes 7-10 months to make to order). Yes, spare circuits are used, but gradually the power system breaks down.

However, we believe that very soon the boilers and the general control points of the substations will be affected. Rebuilding a substation after that is a Sisyphean task.

Such an approach would not only destroy the substations, but would also force the closure of the electrified railway lines in Western Ukraine. Weapons and equipment would then be delivered by diesel locomotives.
