#YURI Two days of Russian strikes have brought Ukraine to the brink of energy collapse, forcing the Kiev regime to discharge the reservoirs to power hydro-plants, in order to prevent the rolling black-outs. And the reservoirs weren’t nearly full after a dry summer, but the water is being spent anyway. Today, the intensity of strikes diminished for some reason.

Yuri considers that the enemy is preparing a large-scale attack in Zaporozhye direction, while maintaining a distraction activity elsewhere. The attacks there have been repelled with significant losses for the enemy, but they didn’t seem like a serious attempt of an offensive. The Russian command is well-aware of the danger in Zaporozhye. It is not clear whether the enemy takes the risk of attacking there, with the autumn rains already beginning.

Russian attacks in Bakhmut and Pervomayskoye continue. The enemy counterattacks in Bakhmut trying to dislodge the Russians from the neighborhoods taken yesterday, unsuccessfully so far.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 12 Oct 2022⚡️

The Russian Armed Forces have again struck Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Today, targets were hit in #Sumy and #Dnipropetrovsk regions. Compared to the previous two days, the salvos were less massive, but work to overload the country's energy system continues.

#RussianFederation Territories:

▪️ The AFU shelled #Belgorod several times during the day, but all strikes were repelled by Russian air defences.

#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Kupyansk direction, the enemy continued its offensive against the positions of the Russian Forces near #Olshany, where the 14th AFU Brigade was able to entrench around the village. At the same time, the enemy attacked on the line #Pershotravnevoye - #Orlyanka on order to reach #Olshany from the flank.

▪️ In the course of the day, fierce fighting took place around #Kislovka. Ukrainian formations initially gained control of the village, but then the Russian forces regained their lost positions. The enemy, in turn, suffered heavy losses of personnel and equipment.

▪️ In the #Tavolzhansky sector, the AFU hold a position defence and rotate their personnel. Russian Forces are engaging the enemy with massive firepower.

▪️ South in the #Lyman - #Svatovo section, Ukrainian formations tried to cross the #Zherebets River at #Raygorodka, #Karmazinovka, #Rozovka, #Novolyubovka and #Makeevka, but suffered losses and retreated.

#Soledar Direction:

▪️ The AFU command is preparing for another Russian offensive in the #Kodema - #Kurdyumovka and #Klinovoye - Krasnaya Gora areas, which if successful would result in the blockade of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk) from the northeast and south.

▪️ Position fighting continues in the outskirts of #Bakhmut and #Soledar. Russian Forces launched missile strikes on an AFU position near #Bakhmut railway station.

#Lugansk Region:

▪️ Ukrainian militants struck #Troitsky and #Artemovsk(?). Several people were killed in the settlements and civilian infrastructure was damaged.

#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ Enemy artillery again shelled #Donetsk, #Makeevka, #Gorlovka, #Yasinovataya, #Zaitsevo and other populated areas in the #Donetsk agglomeration.

#Zaporozhye Direction (MAP):

▪️ The Ukrainian command is finalising preparations for a massive offensive in the area. Soldiers of the 65th Brigade of the AFU Reserve Corps conducted a reconnaissance battle near #Novoaydarovka, but, hit by massive artillery fire, suffered losses and retreated.

▪️ Ukrainian formations are strengthening their defences near #Dorozhnyanka and preparing SRGs for a raid on Russian Forces' positions near #Marfopol.

▪️ There remains a high risk of an enemy landing near #Energodar, both from #Nikopol and Zolotaya Balka.

#Andreevka and #Berislav Sections at Southern Front(MAP):

▪️ In the #Andreevka sector, units of the 35th Infantry Brigade attempted to storm Russian positions on the #Kostromka - #Ishchenka line, but suffered losses and retreated. New crossings across the #Ingulets are beiong used to supply the group.

▪️ In the #Berislav area, the AFU are preparing a new offensive and moving reserves to the front line.

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

⚠️ Why falsely? After IS lost its territory, aren't Ukraine and the USA the main terrorist states?

If you are going to rely mainly on Russian sources due to the lack of reliable terrorist sources, then please quote them in full! Things do not seem to be going as desired for terrorists?

You knowingly disinform and thereby deceive naiv MSM scribblers who trust you. You are a disgrace!

🌹 Rose, at least the morons could spell Bakhmut right.

October 12 Key Takeaways🔻

▪️ Russia is intensifying efforts to set information conditions to falsely portray Ukraine as a terrorist state to deflect recent calls to designate Russia as a terrorist state.

▪️ Russian forces may have imported Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)-affiliated personnel to occupied areas in Ukraine to train Russian troops in the use of Shahed-136 drones.

▪️ Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian troops continued counteroffensive operations toward Svatove and Kreminna. Russian forces are continuing defensive operations in this area.

▪️ Russian sources continued to claim that Ukrainian forces are conducting ground attacks in northwestern and western Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Russian forces conducted ground attacks around Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

▪️ Russian forces are likely reinforcing the frontline in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

▪️ The Russian military continues to face problems equipping individual Russian soldiers with basic personal equipment.

▪️ Russian and occupation administration officials continue to employ coercive measures against residents in Russian-occupied territories.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson - Failed AFU Offensive in #Andreevka Sector⚡️

After regrouping and levelling the frontline in the #Nikolaev - #KrivoyRog direction, the Russian Forces have established defences south of Davydov Brod. A new entrenchment was built near #Sadok village.

On 9 October, the positions of the 38th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade were attacked by AFU armoured vehicles.

Thanks to the competent efforts of Russian motorized riflemen, three tanks, five BMPs and an enemy observation post were destroyed in an ambush.

The footage shows the defeat and destruction of YPR-765, BMP-1 and T-72M1. The Russian soldiers from the Far East cleverly used the terrain, ambushed the enemy in a wooded area and destroyed the enemy's equipment with RPGs and ATGMs.

Drones also played a major role in repelling the attack, as they had detected in advance the advance of the AFU units and corrected their fire from the air. The enemy offensive failed.

GB: A note on the news of voluntary evacuation of civilians from Kherson on the right (west) bank of the Dnepr river.

As previously posted and explained on @Slavyangrad in relation to Svatovo, the recent practice of voluntary evacuations is not an indicator of immediate (or even intermediate-term) threat to the cities being evacuated by the Russian authorities. On the contrary, it is evidence of the Russian authorities learning from experience to realize that cities are better and easier defended with fewer civilians and that no territory is worth civilian lives—the opposite to the methods practiced by the Ukrainian regime.

As can easily be seen from the map, the action is still very far from Kherson itself. While the Ukrainian offensive from the Andreevka/Davydov Brod bridgehead and toward Dudchany has now stalled, the city in the most danger—such as it is—of seeing direct clashes is Novaya Kakhovka, not Kherson.

Nonetheless, the Ukrainians shell Kherson daily, with howitzer and MLRS (HIMARS) artillery. In the circumstances, the fewer civilian remain on the right (west) bank of the Dnepr river, the fewer of them will die. The fewer of them also will be in the way of the defence of the city in the very unlikely (but not entirely amenable to being ruled out) event of clashes taking places in close proximity to the regional centre of Russia's Kherson Oblast.

Accordingly, the move to announce a voluntary evacuation from Kherson—in the circumstance where much of the city is being supplied by ferries and is subjected to constant shelling from afar by the Ukrainian Terrorist Forces—is a wise and timely move. The Russian Army should be focused on supplying the troops defending the Kherson Oblast, not the civilians who would be much safer further from the front lines.

#YURI Infrastructure across all Ukraine, from Lvov to Sumy and Kharkov, hit this afternoon in a massive Russian strike of missiles and drones, in apparent reponse to Ukrainian attacks of Belgorod city and Kursk region of Russia. Apparently, the exchange won’t stop in the coming days.

Battles in Bakhmut continue, no definitive outcome so far. The core of the defenders of Bakhmut on Ukrainian side are are not the AFU members anymore, but the mercenary units. Svatovo - Ukrainian attempts to probe the Russian defences, unsuccessful so far, but the enemy group there remains strong enough for at least a local offensive towards the town of Svatovo itself. Kherson - the distraction attack almost becoming customary, repulsed.

Increasing number of reports indicate that the AFU may attempt a serious offensive on Zaporozhye direction tomorrow, on the Ukrainian Army Day, or soon, towards Melitopol and Berdyansk.

Ukrainian Reserves at Artyomovsk (Bakhmut)

The reserves the Ukrainian Armed Forces has rushed to Bakhmut turned out to be so fresh that they had to be trained "on the fly." An improvised base and firing range was set up at a fishing pier near Stake 8 (in the village of Khromovo), on the south-western outskirts of Artemovsk. The level of preparedness of the enemy reinforcements leaves much to be desired.

The Ukrainian forces operating near Bakhmut today:

The 58th Separate Mechanized Brigade, named after Hetman Ivan Vygovskiy (from Konotop, in the Sumy region) was once considered to be the most combat-ready unit of the AFU. The unit has deserted almost in its entirety.

The 125th "Lvovskaya" Territorial Defence Brigade has been exsanguinated, reserves to replenish are now being trained on accelerated schedule in fortified areas outside the city.

The 26th Separate Artillery Brigade (from Berdichev), part of the 8th Ukrainian Army, is understaffed by 60%.

The 25th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade (from Novomoskovsk) was crushed near Novobakhmutovka and has been re-staffed with reservists.

The 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade (from Nikolaev) was crushed at Soledar, suffering up to 80% casualties, and has been re-staffed with mercenaries from Poland, Romania, Britain, and the USA.

The 81st Separate Airborne Assault Brigade (from Druzhkovka) is now the most combat-ready Ukrainian unit of all of those listed above. It was battered by Russian Armed Forces' strikes on the settlement of Nikolayevka. It participated in fighting near Krasny Liman.
