1/ While attention has been focused on the elimination of the Russian salient north of Liman, Russian warbloggers are reporting an increasing number of setbacks for their forces elsewhere in Ukraine. "Autumn will bring many unpleasant surprises," one predicts gloomily. ⬇️
2/ Anatoly Radov says that a Ukrainian Armed Forces group has been operating "behind the Mokri Yaly River, north of Komar," a strategically located village in the Volnovakha district of the Donetsk region. It has been under Russian occupation since June 2025.
3/ He writes: "As you may recall, two weeks ago I wrote about the enemy trying to jump the river and enter Komar. At the time, of course (as usual), everyone thought I was talking nonsense. But surprisingly, only Yuriy Podolyaka responded by reposting it." 4/ "Back then, there were indeed unsuccessful Ukrainian attempts to enter Komar; all those who tried, as our soldiers say, were killed. Now they've begun crossing the river further north and, apparently, are trying to outflank Komar. Why is that? 5/ "Because, according to their prisoners, they were assigned the Bahatyr objective. In addition to this objective, they had previously been assigned the Velyka Novosilka objective. They're moving along the river's western bank to reach it.
6/ "They're also trying to create flank cover, attacking toward Shevchenko. I started talking about the problems in the Lyman area on 9 June. I can't even remember when I started talking about the problems in the Piddubne area. 7/ "But now, this problem is clearly visible and has been confirmed and is being further confirmed by data. Unfortunately, another settlement has been lost, which I wrote about on the Private Channel. 8/ "Yes, like many others, I'm also wondering where they got their men from. Apparently, they must have been gathering them while on the defensive for a long time and then slowly retreating, which allowed them to minimize losses." 9/ 'Rybar' confirms these reports, commenting that "the situation is deteriorating on the right flank, where the enemy is attempting to advance in small groups near Komar. Ukrainian infantry is operating on both banks of the Mokri Yaly river... 10/ "The eastern flank of the Dnipropetrovsk front remains a vast "grey zone," where the enemy is gradually consolidating its positions. 11/ "Taking advantage of its drone superiority and high ground near Ivanivka and Gavrilivka, it has the opportunity to control settlements in the lowlands using unmanned aerial vehicles." 12/ "Russian soldiers are intercepting enemy infiltration groups and striking them with drone attacks, and sometimes with artillery. At the same time, on the western flank, the initiative remains with Russian units operating in the Zaporizhzhia region. 13/ "The trends on the Dnipropetrovsk front are currently mostly negative – the enemy has been able to introduce new groups across the Volcha river for several months. 14/ "This casts doubt on the presence of Russian Armed Forces units in a large area south of the river, as footage from near Komar appears regularly. 15/ Radov also reports Ukrainian advances in the Zaporizhzhia region. "After our unsuccessful attack, the enemy managed to enter the village of Hirke. Currently, our forces are using everything available to target it." 16/ The map of control that he publishes to illustrate the Ukrainian advance is an interesting demonstration of how the Russians are claiming territory to hold they don't actually control; the equivalent Ukrainian map is very different.
17/ Radov calls for his fellow warbloggers to be more honest about the real situation of Russia's forces, warning that a "disaster" is unfolding on the front lines: 18/ "Right now, all the armchair generals and bloggers like those from the General Staff and "Stalin's Gully" are sitting there, laughing and spewing garbage at me, saying things like, "How could this happen?" 19/ "You're being posted by Ukrainians, can you believe it?" And they continue to spread their propaganda, believing that it helps our army and the situation on the front lines (it doesn't, it only harms). 20/ "However, I haven't reacted to them for a long time now, realizing that they can't do otherwise. They don't know how to tell the truth. They don't care; in fact, they find it amusing, and they're generally enjoying the fact that they've become well-known on the topic of… 21/ …the special military operation. And it's enough for them to just cheer and be happy that their subscribers, who are turbo-patriots, idolise them and consider them great military bloggers. 22/ "There are so many alarming signals that are so loud that it's strange that people aren't hearing them. Even "Eastern Express" is only presenting half the picture. 23/ "Take Dolynka, which is held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces; Hirke, which has been lost; and Verkhnia Tersa, where it’s a 50-50 situation. And then there are the Ukrainians, who are quietly but steadily pushing back in the Nechaivka–Nove Zaporizhzhia sector. 24/ "In short, it's a disaster. Autumn will bring many unpleasant surprises." /end Sources: 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me
