🇺🇦**Head of Odesa OVA Kiper:** As a result of a strike on a gas station in Odesa region, a fuel tanker and an operator building were damaged, a fire broke out at the site. ✨Strikes on enemy gas stations are not uncommon. But the very fact that they are now striking not with "Molniya" but with "Geran" suggests that the RF Armed Forces have decided to take a more systematic approach to the issue. And rightly so. If the opponent wanted escalation in the direction of fuel problems, including for the civilian population, let them get hit in full. Russia has more capabilities to incinerate gas stations. While the AFU counts how many thousands of kilometers their drones fly, our weapons have been striking Ukraine through and through since the first days of the war. We hope for a systematic solution to this military issue. [**Dva Majora**](https://t.me/dva_majors)

📝**Successful Advance**📝 On the **Konstantinovka direction**, Russian forces continue to advance successfully through urban areas. Footage that has appeared online [of Russian flags being installed](https://t.me/lost_armour/9930) in various districts of the city confirms further advance of assault units and expansion of the RF Armed Forces' control zone. **🔻****Where has progress been made?** ➡️Based on incoming information, the main combat operations are gradually shifting toward the northern and northwestern quarters of **Konstantinovka**. At the same time, it is premature to speak of complete completion of the operation: in the southwestern part of the city, individual pockets of resistance and scattered AFU groups cut off from main forces may still remain. The character of current fighting is well demonstrated by reports from the scene. Even after losing a unified command and supply system, the enemy is capable of holding out in individual multi-story buildings, basements, and prepared strongpoints, which requires sequential clearing quarter by quarter. ➡️One of the key factors in Russian forces' success remains [the work of UAV operators](https://t.me/DKulko/1695). Over the past weeks, drone crews have systematically struck transport, temporary deployment points, and supply routes of the Ukrainian grouping. In fact, this amounts to isolation of the combat zone. AFU units increasingly find themselves unable to timely transfer reinforcements, evacuate the wounded, and deliver ammunition. This is what allows Russian assault groups to act significantly more confidently when occupying individual buildings and strongpoints. 🧨 In desperate attempts to contain the enemy advance, the opponent is deploying artillery directly into urban areas. Over just the past week, RF Armed Forces UAV operators have destroyed at least five AFU self-propelled guns. Under fire were SPGs [M109 Paladin](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33917), [AS-90](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33883), [Krab](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/33900), and the Soviet ["Gvozdika"](https://t.me/SouthernRepublic/34005). Systematic destruction of enemy artillery systems across the entire sector from Konstantinovka to Kramatorsk continues. ❗️According to available data, Russian units already control a significant portion of urban areas, and Russian flags have been raised in the northeastern districts. At the same time, clearing of the city is still ongoing, and final completion of the operation will require elimination of remaining pockets of enemy resistance. __If you have updates on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us via feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ ** ****📍**[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/PZ6r0T94/10.jpg)** ****📍**[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/zVgSR51R/10.jpg) ** ****📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** #digest #map #Russia #Slavyansk #Ukraine **✈**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

📝**Liberation of Rai-Aleksandrovka**📝 On the **Slavyansk direction**, Russian forces are completing the clearing of **Rai-Aleksandrovka**, which was announced as captured today. The settlement was one of the key nodes of Ukrainian defense on the approaches to **Nikolayevka** and the **Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration**, and fighting for it lasted several months. 🔻**What changed in the sector?** ▪️After the [liberation of **Nikiforovka**](https://t.me/rybar/80750), units of the RF Armed Forces consistently developed their offensive along the enemy's defensive line and reached **Rai-Aleksandrovka** directly. In recent weeks, the main combat operations took place both in the settlement itself and on the adjacent heights, where Ukrainian formations equipped an extensive system of strongpoints. ▪️Control of the village makes it possible to improve the tactical position of Russian forces and create additional [threats to the Ukrainian grouping](https://t.me/rybar/81114) holding the **Nikolayevka — Raigorodok** line. At the same time, opportunities are expanding for fire impact on AFU logistics routes in this sector of the front. In the near future, the main efforts of the RF Armed Forces will likely be concentrated on expanding the zone of control west of **Rai-Aleksandrovka** and evening out the front line around the settlement. Only after suppressing the remaining Ukrainian strongpoints will it be possible to speak of creating conditions for further advance toward **Nikolayevka** and the northern approaches to **Slavyansk**. ❗️However, it is premature to speak of any "march on **Slavyansk**" at this point. In fact, this is not about a complete collapse of AFU defense in the direction, but about its gradual pushing back from one of the forward nodes. For further advance, Russian units will require clearing of adjacent forest belts, heights, and fortified areas covering the approaches to **Nikolayevka** and **Raigorodok**. 📌At the current stage, the liberation of **Rai-Aleksandrovka** should be viewed as an important tactical success, improving the position of Russian forces on the **Slavyansk direction**, but not as an event automatically opening the way to rapid offensive operations against the **Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration**. __If you have updates on the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ 📍[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/fsBsPz0/08.jpg) 📍[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/PGtm5QRM/08.jpg) 📍Online maps available by subscription at map.rybar.ru #digest #map #Russia #Slavyansk #Ukraine ✈ [**RU**](https://t.me/rybar) | ✈ [**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english) | ✉ [**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Dzen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)

**📝****Counterattacks near Lyman****📝** On the **Lyman** **direction**, units of the "West" grouping of forces improved their tactical position on the approaches to **Lyman** itself, which made it possible for assault troops to operate across practically its entire territory. ➡️However, it is too early to speak of full control, since RF Armed Forces are conducting combat operations with small groups. And as we have repeatedly reported and shown in detail in [TAKTIKARE](https://t.me/rybar_tactical/11), occupying a city [in this manner](https://t.me/rybar_tactical/11) is a rather difficult and prolonged task. ➡️North of the city, Ukrainian formations undertook a series of counterattacks toward **Stavky**, as a result of which one of the RF Armed Forces' approaches to the city again came under the control of Ukrainian formations, which occupied **Zverokhozaystvo** and restored control over this part of the **Holy** **Mountains** park. ➡️This occurred simultaneously with the beginning of [attacks](https://t.me/rybar/81044) by Ukrainian formations in the north in the **Redkodub** area. The situation across the entire salient toward **Svyatogorsk** remains extremely tense, since the enemy is clearly attempting to cut off this "salient" in the **Shandrigolovo** area along the **Nitrius** river. ❗️In turn, RF Armed Forces are attempting to disrupt the logistics of Ukrainian formations through systematic strikes on crossings over the **Seversky** **Donets** river. Recently, statements first appeared in the network, and then footage of damage to the embankment at **Mayaki**, through which Ukrainian formations were supplying their grouping operating in the **Lyman** area. 📌As a result of [a FAB-3000 strike](https://t.me/Secrets_of_Vinakos/15572), the crossing was heavily damaged, however it is suitable for restoration, since such embankments are generally quite difficult to destroy even with high-precision and powerful munitions. The enemy attempted to fill in the resulting crater, but a [bulldozer](https://t.me/KrasnolimanskyFront/20119) was struck by an FPV-drone strike. This once again demonstrates that it is important not simply to strike various objects, but also to monitor the enemy's attempts to restore them. __If you have additions regarding the situation, you want us to highlight the successes of your unit — you can always write to us in the feedback bot ____@rybar_feedback_bot__ ****📍**[**High-resolution map**](https://i.ibb.co/svC6NXkP/07.jpg)** ****📍**[**English version**](https://i.ibb.co/Cs36mD0S/07.jpg) ** ****📍****Online maps available by subscription at ****map.rybar.ru** #digest #map #Lyman #Russia #Ukraine **✈**** **[**RU**](https://t.me/rybar)** | ****✈**** **[**EN**](https://t.me/rybar_in_english)** | ****✉**** **[**MAX**](https://max.ru/Rybar) ✉️ [**VK**](https://vk.com/rybar_force) | ✉️ [**RuTube**](https://rutube.ru/u/rybar/) | ✉️ [**OK**](https://ok.ru/group/70000041986659) | ✉️ [**Zen**](https://dzen.ru/rybar) 💸[**Support us**](https://qr.nspk.ru/BS1A0068ID10D33B9IBAQRQ4M9T0NIFN?type=01&bank=100000000008&crc=36CB)
