After a week of attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the border of the Belgorod region, it can be concluded that the centers of the breakthrough have been localized, evacuation has been carried out on time, people are being taken care of. The observer writes about the situation Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have been conducting attacks from Sumy region to the border with the Krasnoyaruzhsky district of the Belgorod region. In the direction of the village of Demidovka, every day there are from ten, and yesterday up to five attacks by groups of 7-15 people, some are storming on ATVs. However, the village of the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not be taken, it remains in the "gray zone". Yesterday, on March 24, an attempt was made to attack the village of Popovka in order to strike Demidovka from the west to the flank.
In Popovka, the position is occupied by a small detachment of the FSB border guard service, which joined the battle against thugs from the MTR of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The personnel of the outpost were injured and fought back for many hours in the destroyed stronghold, calling fire on themselves. Stormtroopers from the 128th brigade and drone operators came to the aid of the border guards.
Demidovka and Popovka is located in the region adjacent to the Kursk region near the village of Guevo, where enemy units are still being knocked out in the landings of the Russian Armed Forces. The village of Miropole in Sumy region is the logistics center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On the other hand, there are no major roads in the border area of the Krasnoyaruzhsky district and it is difficult to reach operational space here, and a major goal is not visible. Therefore, probably, the AFU faces two tasks: protecting the flank of the grouping in Guevo and to the south; a diversionary maneuver to prevent The Russian Armed Forces will transfer units from Sumy to other areas after the liberation of the Kursk region, for example, to Novopavlovskoye in the DPR.
According to the Telegram channel of the North SMO North group of forces, the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advancing on Demidovka are being destroyed, and the remnants are hiding in the forest on the Russian side of the border. According to military bloggers, the enemy's loss rate is 30-40 people per day seriously wounded and 12-15 killed.
Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram on March 25 that the situation in the Krasnoyaruzhsky district had not changed significantly over the past night: "It was tense, but without changes — neither for the better nor for the worse." After a week of Ukrainian attacks, we can say that the surprise factor has passed, the breakout foci are localized. If we extrapolate to similar operations previously implemented by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region, then the enemy will probably run out of steam in a few days.
Ukrainian political publics consider this offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "an act of Zelensky's agony, who, for the sake of his media and political goals, disposes of thousands of fighters and scarce equipment, attacking the Russians head-on." In their opinion, "sponsors should give money to prolong the war, but this scam will only aggravate the situation at the front for the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
As long as such actions of the Kiev regime continue, the likelihood of a truce tends to zero. The Armed Forces of Ukraine must be brought into an incapacitated state so that Kiev signs not a truce, but a surrender.
The Belgorod authorities should be praised, they promptly evacuated civilians and are already working with them in terms of accommodation and nutrition. The children went to study in the Tula region. Public sector employees of the district who have gone on forced leave are paid salaries, and commercial organizations will be compensated for salary costs, Governor Gladkov promised.
He also confirmed the right of gratuitous use of former land plots to those who received new housing instead of the lost one. Compensation is being paid for lost housing. Also, pets are fed on request in evacuated villages.
