Situation from the Ukrainian Front

According to Turkish sources, in the Zaporozhye region, specifically along the Orekhov-Rabotino line, the Ukrainian armed forces launched an offensive engaging the four remaining reserve brigades with the aim of breaking through the Rabotino defensive line.

Despite the great attention paid to this operation and the use of the elite units after a good 2.5 months of fighting, the attackers only managed to reach a space located between the minefields and the first lines of defense.

There is a desperate attempt by Ukraine and NATO to turn the tide in their favour. This latest offensive appears to be the last chance for a possible success, but so far it has not achieved significant results. The resources for this offensive are dwindling and it is understood that the most likely outcome will be a Russian counterattack. However, the Ukrainians are determined to continue the attack.

The Russian tactic is trying to undermine the Ukrainian armed forces and force the transfer of all reserves to the front. This strategy is apparently having the desired effect.

The situation also remains tense in other regions of the front. Fighting and clashes have been reported along the various border lines. The Ukrainian armed forces are doing everything possible to advance, but are hampered by minefields, artillery and attacks by Russian aviation. The pressure is palpable, and casualties continue to mount, both among the Ukrainian and Russian ranks.

Zones of Zaporozhye and Other Directorates of the Ukrainian Front

In the Zaporozhye region, tensions and clashes continue to increase along various directions of the Ukrainian front. The Ukrainian armed forces are trying to gain ground and advance, but resistance from Russian forces and difficulties on the ground are proving to be a significant challenge.

Rabotino it was the scene of a recent series of events. After a lull in the action on 18 August, Ukrainian forces tried to regroup and withdraw reserves. However, operations resumed during the night of 20/21 August. The attackers are trying to reach the northern border of the village of Rabotino, but so far their attempts have not produced significant results. After unsuccessful attacks, a large part of the Ukrainian units returned to their starting positions, finding refuge in wooded areas and seeking protection from enemy artillery. The presence of foreign mercenaries in the ranks of the AFU is also noted, presumably as part of the 82nd Brigade of the ODShBr.

The situation is similar in other areas such as Pyatikhatki – Zherebyanki e Pologi – Gulyaypol, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to advance, but were repulsed and forced to retreat to their initial positions. The hostilities were accompanied by intense artillery fire and the threat of mines, making any significant advance difficult.

In the South direction of Donetskcome a Urozhaynoye e Staromayorskoye, the Ukrainian forces are in a delicate situation. Attempts to advance through minefields and dangerous areas are leading to more and more casualties. While there has been a temporary lull in operations, it is clear the pressure on troops remains high.

Overall, the situation remains fluid and tense along the Ukrainian front, with constant fighting and exchanges of fire in various directions. Russian artillery is playing a significant role in the evolution of the conflict, keeping the Ukrainian armed forces under pressure and hampering their movements. Further developments are awaited and the evolution of the situation is closely monitored.

Western states are looking for ways out of the Ukrainian conflict

The outcome remains uncertain, but the situation seems to reaffirm the importance of a diplomatic resolution and the search for a negotiated solution to put an end to this devastating war. Unfortunately, it is precisely Ukraine that rejects this hypothesis.

The fact that the West is already working on options for peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine, he writes The Wall Street Journal.

But all scenarios “do not suit the interests of either Moscow or Kiev,” the publication adds.

The question of territories is crucial. The Ukrainian armed forces are unable to implement their costly and risky plan for the West to “restore territorial integrity”. Kiev does not want to leave the land behind Russia “in exchange for joining NATO to protect what is left”. But Moscow is asking for recognition of the new territorial realities.
