Donbass. Units of the Russian army blocked Volnovakha and are completing the encirclement of a large group of Ukrainian Armed Forces brigades from two directions - northern (Izyum) and southern (Zaporozhye, Tokmak). According to preliminary information, fighting began in the area of ​​Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.

The so-called small cauldron in Mariupol, where the Azov thugs are holding the defense, hiding behind a human shield from among the civilian population, is firmly closed. A local operation has begun in Severodonetsk. The city is actually surrounded by units of the DPR and LPR with the support of the Russian army.

In essence, the key, if not the main aspect of the special operation will be decided in the Donbass direction. A characteristic detail. The army does not take control of all cities and towns. For example, Melitopol and Berdyansk are important strategic hubs that provide the supply of equipment and ammunition. In a word, supply lines are being pulled up through these cities. Military aviation of the Aerospace Forces is already involved in this direction. Those who want to escape from the encirclement obviously won’t have an easy walk.

Kyiv. The tight blockade of the city from the east is ending. Main highways have been cut. There is rampant banditry and looting in Kyiv. Inveterate criminals released from prison form gangs and, under the guise of formed self-defense units, create chaos.

The same picture is observed in Kharkov. Here's a little more detail.

Kharkiv. Despite the bravura howls of jingoists, such as “we’ll take Grozny with one regiment” twenty-five years ago, the situation is very difficult. Assault groups and special forces units act carefully, methodically, slowly. They are trying to thoroughly clean up the northeastern part of the city. Fights and skirmishes periodically break out in different parts of Kharkov. The Nazis and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fully cover themselves with civilians, moreover, they herd them into schools located two steps away from the firing positions of Grad, Uragan, cannon artillery and ZSU installations. Firing points are located in multi-storey buildings, threatening apartment owners. Even Kharkov residents who are very disloyal to the “aggressors” admit this.

This picture was observed on Saltovskoye Highway, Gvardeytsev Shironintsev Street, Pobeda Avenue, New Houses. It is clear from everything that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ control system is broken. All this leads to sad consequences, primarily for civilians.

So, the Nazis staged a signature fireworks display for their neighbors, who placed their equipment in the courtyards of high-rise buildings near the Botanical Garden metro station, covering them with dense fire.

It should be noted that the thugs from the territorial defense are creating real chaos. For example, a Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier was publicly shot for refusing to fire at residential areas on 23 August Street. The mayor of the city of Yuzhny, Kharkov region, Alexander Bryukhanov, his deputy and the head of the local regional police department were arrested for attempting to negotiate with the command of the Russian army. Power in the city is actually in the hands of inveterate and frostbitten Nazis, ready for any tricks and provocations.

Kharkov residents began to understand this. However, people have fear and panic, fueled by wild and unprecedented propaganda, simply – zombie hatred towards Russians. Plus - violence and murders in broad daylight for the purpose of robbery are becoming commonplace. Moreover, there are already corpses of people on the street as a result of such gang warfare, and all the victims are blamed on “Russian aggression.” The radical telegram channel Trukha (under the control of the Nazis) is especially zealous, where numerous fakes are multiplying. Goebbels smokes nervously on the sidelines.
