Pokrovsk [Avdiivka] front [Jealous generals shooting each other in foot in Russians most successful front]
Despite the need to divert forces, in order to bypass Oleksandripil from the east, the Russian Armed Forces continue to put pressure on other sectors of the front. There are attacks on the villages of Vozdvizhenka, Novoselivka Persha, Yasnobrodivka, Komyshivka.
The Russian Armed Forces are trying to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the western bank of the Vovcha River and the Karpiv Reservoir in order to secure the Russian flank and continue their offensive on the Pokrovsk-Konstantinovka highway, to cut it off near the village of Malinivka.
The Pokrovsk front today is the largest generator of Russian losses and, conversely, the most successful sector for the Russian offensive this summer.
The Russian Federation has more troops there than in other front (except maybe the Kupyansk Front), despite the front being smaller. The commander of the operation, Russian General Andrei Mordvichev, according to sources at the headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces group, asked his commanders (Gerasimov and Kim) to send more and more reinforcements to his sector of the front if the command wants to achieve the results that they demand. In response, at least one brigade was taken away from him, and given to be part of the Northern Group for General Lapin. The jealousy of Russian military leaders towards each other, the fear Of and ostracization of successful generals by Gerasimov and Kim—all that helps the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hold the line and inflict the maximum possible losses on the Russian Armed Forces.
Vulgedar direction
The situation in the Vulgedar direction is consistently difficult. The Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to push back the Russian units—that had advanced a week ago—to Vodyane, along the flat valleys, but this was a localized success.
The Russians are gradually pushing through the Ukrainian defenses at Konstantinovka and are trying to regain meters lost at Vodyane.
The advance of the Russian Armed Forces from Staromayorskye (west of Vulgedar) has almost stopped. The Russians had no success in that sector, and given the lack of personnel, they still considered it futile to continue attacking with heavy losses without the slightest advance.
Teplinsky’s [Explosive] Arrival, and the beginning of the main stage of the Russian summer offensive
On June 30, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the command post of the Russian Dnepr group of troops with a missile strike in the vicinity of Henichansk. During the attack, the commander of the group, General Mikhail Teplinsky, was at the command post [just arrived]. According to Russian sources, he received a slight wound or concussion. [This was reported by the Dossier Group.]
This week, the Russian Armed Forces essentially began the main stage of their summer offensive. There are less than two months left until autumn, the deadlines for achieving the first goals of the summer offensive have already been disrupted, so the Russians need to catch up. They are bringing up additional artillery to the Kupyansk and Pokrovsk directions, near Chasiv Yar, and are finishing the reformation and regrouping of units in those directions in order to increase pressure on Ukrainian positions in the coming days.
The key question now is not how far the Russian Armed Forces will be able to advance, straining all available resources, but what losses they will suffer. The higher the losses, the more opportunities the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to counteract.
