⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #YURI: #Artemovsk Doomsday - published at 6:51 on 14 Oct 2022⚡️

The fighting for #Artemovsk (#Bakhmut) is entering its climactic stage. The enemy in this direction is seriously exhausted, our units have penetrated deep into the city and are storming the main defensive line, and therefore the AFU command requires urgent reinforcements, otherwise the fall of the city will not only be inevitable, but will happen very quickly.

And here is where a very unpleasant fork of decisions emerges for Ze-k (Zelensky) and his gang. Surrendering a major city to the enemy would collapse the myth of an all-conquering Ukrainian army, without which Western aid could be curtailed. It would also be a blow to the image of the authorities inside the country and against the backdrop of a stalled front an unpleasant hint of future defeats.

And this is where they have to make a choice. Either withdraw their units from #Zaporozhye and #Svatovo and reinforce the grouping near #Artemovsk, or invest all their forces in a final strike.

The game is very risky. And what Ze-k chooses, I think, we will see by the end of the week.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Kherson: Situation at Posad-Pokrovskoye at 11:00 on 14 Oct 2022⚡️

▪️ The Ukrainian command is preparing for an offensive on Ternovye Pody and #Pravdino. The forces of the BTGr of the AFU´s 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade are concentrated in the #Galitsinovo - #Lymany area.

▪️ During the night, a large convoy of armoured vehicles and trucks with ammunition passed through the Korabelny district of #Nikolaev, heading towards the front line.

▪️ During the night, AFU reconnaissance teams used drones to reconnoitre positions of Russian forces in the Ternovye Pody area. Russian soldiers shot down five Leleka-100 and Furiya UAVs.

▪️ AFU army aviation helicopters fired several volleys of unguided missiles at Russian positions.

▪️ It is very likely that the Ukrainian command will conduct an offensive in two areas at the same time, in the Ternovye Pody and #Pravdino areas. In case an assault near #Bashtanka fails, two more BTGr reserves are in reserve.

Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) Front Line Updates:

The movement of Ukrainian personnel between Konstantinovka and Bakhmut does not constitute withdrawal from Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), and there is no evidence that the Ukrainian command is planning such a step.

These maneuvers represent merely rotation of troops and replacement of depleted and demoralized units. In addition, Ukrainian forces continue stationing fighters in centres around Artyomovsk, such as Chason Yar.

Avdeevka Front Line Updates:

Over the course of October 13, 2022, troops of the 11th Brigade of the DPR and the Russian Armed Forces advanced significantly to the north of Avdeevka, along the Krutaya Balka-Kamenka-Veseloye-Krasnogorovka line and to the south, along the Opytnoye-Vodyanoye line, having crossed over the M-30 highway and taken control of the Avdeevka interchange.


As a result, the enemy grouping in Avdeevka now finds itself in semi-encirclement. As before, the main objective of the advancing Russian Army is the village of Orlovka, after the taking of which the supply of the enemy grouping in Avdeevka from Konstantinovka will be completely terminated.

GB: The Bigger the Arrows, the Harder They Fall.

The news of Ukrainian forces amassing a 60k grouping to take on Kherson and Novaya Kakhovka is more than likely a feint to conceal the true plans of the Ukrainian command.

Whenever the Ukrainian forces have faced layered defensive formations of the Russian Army, they became bogged down in heavy fighting with little forward advance.

This is evident from the fighting in and around the Andreevka bridgehead and at Davydov Brod. This is also clear from the Ukrainian experience of assaulting Krasny Liman, where the heroic defence of the vastly outnumbered BARS-16 volunteer battalion of the Russian forces caused the Ukrainian army to lose its momentum and initiative, resulting in the stalemate along the Svatovo front and in a pullback of Ukrainian units and the loss of territory in the Kremennaya sector, along the Zherebets river boundary.

It is only where Ukraine has been able to exploit the sparsely (and lightly) defended front lines in the Balakleya-Kupyansk-Izyum triangle and to attack with mobile units at the junctures between Russian units that the Ukrainian army has had success.

This is also precisely what happened in the Krivoy Rog-northeastern Kherson direction. Just as on the Kharkov front, the area northeast of Dudchany, in the Vysokopolye-Novovorontsovka-Dudchany triangle was sparsely and lightly defended, as all the attention of the strained Russian defensive lines was focused on the defence of the Andreevka-Davydov Brod incursion.

With Ukraine exploiting this advantage—an advantage that existed solely because of Ukraine's numerical superiority—the Russian army pulled back, vacating the salient north of the Davydov Brod-Dudchany line. The pullback made the porous front line solid, and the Ukrainian advance stalled, with the Russian forces even attempting limited counter-maneuvers in the direction of Sukhoi Stavok.

This has been the story of the Ukrainian counter-offensive operations: Exploiting Russian lack of personnel and attacking at junctures between understaffed units using mobile groups—a tactic that was honed as long ago as during the first limited Ukrainian counter-offensive to the north of Kharkov earlier in this conflict. In encounters with layered Russian Army defences, the Ukrainian forces have sustained significant, painful, and, in the long term, unsustainable casualties and equipment losses.

Why would Ukraine attempt a massive 60k offensive operation with an army that is not yet ready for such an adventure (if it ever will be)? Two possible reasons come to mind: (1) because it is pushed to do so by its overseas masters, or (2) because it is a feint intended to conceal a different maneuver altogether. While we cannot dismiss the former, nor can we disregard the urgency of trying a critical move now, before the Russian mobilization is complete, the Ukrainians (and their sponsors) have shown themselves to be finer tacticians than many expected.

Just as the Andreevka bridgehead incursion was paired up with a rapid advance in the Kharkov theatre (exploiting weaknesses, rather than blindly smashing against strengths) and, eventually, the "toad-leap" assault in the Berislav direction (toward Dudchany, in the northeastern Kherson Oblast)—both of which were vastly more successful than anything that Ukraine achieved with the Andreevka-Davydov Brod bridgehead—we can expect that any demonstration of a massive counter-offensive against Kherson (especially one that is being telegraphed so obviously) will be accompanied by a smarter tactical move elsewhere.

(concluded from the previous post)

GB: The Bigger the Arrows, the Harder They Fall.

That elsewhere is, in my opinion, the Zaporozhye theatre, with an attempt at a deep strike through to the heartland of the Russian territory north of the Azov sea. Frankly, it would not matter even if the assault does not penetrate all that far—the morale and media impact of such a raid in the direction of Melitopol or Berdyansk (no need even to reach them) would be a significant victory for Ukraine. It would also critically threaten the entire Kherson grouping of the Russian Army without any need for a wasteful frontal assault against the layered Russian defences in Kherson—layers that do not exist anywhere to the same extent along the Orekhov-Gulyai Pole line of the front.

For that reason, Russia must watch the Zaporozhye theatre carefully and not fall into the trap of driving all available reserves to Kherson—like it was done, to some extent, before the crisis along the Kharkov front. Mistakes must not be repeated, and, with the nearing completion of the Russian mobilization, it may be Ukraine's turn to make mistakes in a rush to secure a significant victory before the 300k-strong Russian force floods the Ukrainian theatre.

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

⚠️ Chatter first, because things don't seem to be going as desired on the front lines. According to the usual troll codes of the US imerialist terror supporters, it looks good for us.

🌹 Rose, at least the sots could spell Kupyansk right.

October 14 Key Takeaways🔻

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that his “partial” mobilization will end in “about two weeks”—likely to free up bureaucratic bandwidth for the normal autumn connoscription cycle that will begin on November 1.

▪️ Putin may intend for mobilized personnel to plug gaps in Russia’s frontlines long enough for the autumn connoscripts to receive some training and form additional units to improve Russian combat power in 2023.

▪️ Ukrainian and Western officials continue to reiterate that they have observed no indicators of preparations for a Belarusian invasion of Ukraine, despite alarmist reports in the Belarusian information space that President Alexander Lukashenko has introduced a “counter-terrorist operation” regime.

▪️ Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on October 14 that there is currently no additional need for further massive strikes against Ukraine.

▪️ Russian authorities are continuing to engage in “Russification” social programming schemes that target Ukrainian children.

▪️ A prominent Russian milblogger accused unspecified senior officials within the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) of preparing to censor Russian milbloggers on October 14, but there is no official confirmation of an investigation or prosecution of these milbloggers.

▪️ Russian sources continued to claim that Ukrainian forces are conducting counteroffensive operations in northeast Kharkiv Oblast east of Kupyansk

▪️ Russian troops conducted limited ground attacks west of Kreminna in order to regain lost positions.

▪️ Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks in northwestern Kherson Oblast in order to regain lost positions.

▪️ Russian troops continued ground attacks around Bakhmut and Donetsk City.

▪️ Russian authorities expressed increasing concern over Ukrainian strikes against Russian rear logistics lines in southern Donetsk Oblast.

▪️ Russian occupation authorities are continuing to consolidate control of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) through strengthened security measures amid negotiations to establish a nuclear safety and protective zone at the plant.

▪️ Russian officials continued to brand their movement of populations out of Kherson Oblast as recreational “humanitarian trips” rather than evacuations.
