Usa: sfondata prima linea difesa russa al Sud
La viceministra della Difesa ucraina, Anna #Malyar, aveva rivendicato la rottura delle prime linee di difesa russa il 4 agosto e la notizia è confermata dal generale Mark #Milley: "Ci sono crescenti indicazioni che le forze ucraine abbiano sfondato la prima linea di difesa russa su parte del fronte meridionale nella regione di Zaporizhzhia e si stanno incuneando verso la città strategicamente importante di #Tokmak".

Russia’s response to #Ukraine advancing will be to pull troops from further West to reinforce #Tokmak. They will be desperate to hold it as that is as far as Ukraine needs to get to control the area.

Far superior Ukrainian artillery and counter battery means that Ukraine can hit roads and railways from Tokmak, closing the south to Russia.

Big explosions, reportedly on a Russian base in Tokmak

This is it. And the Russians blowing up the #KakhovkaDam won't affect the counteroffensive at all.

"The combat against Russian positions south of Zaporizhzhia included western-supplied tanks and armoured vehicles and infantry backed by artillery. There were reports of intense fighting outside the town of #Tokmak, a key Russian logistical hub." #UkraineWar

Ukrainische Angriffe in Zaporischschja ❤️

Ukrainischer Vorstoß mit Panzerfahrzeugen Richtung #Tokmak. Die Kleinstadt und umliegende Ortschaften sollen auf Befehl der russischen Besatzungsbehörden evakuiert werden. Stellungen der Besatzungstruppen waren dort in den letzten Tagen immer wieder Ziel von ukrainischer schwerer Artillerie geworden. Ob es sich hier um den lange erwarteten Durchbruchsbeginn der ukrainischen Streitkräfte oder nur ein Ablenkungsmanöver handelt, ist im Moment noch unklar - in jedem Fall ist die russische Armee in der Gegend in Panik. Sollten die ukrainischen Verbände bis Tokmak durchbrechen, ist es nur noch ein Katzensprung von 60km nach Melitopol.

Unsere Grüße an die Anarchist*innen in der nahen Frontstadt Huliaipole, dem Geburtsort des berühmten anarchistischen Befehlshabers Nestor Makhno. Wir hoffen, aus dieser Richtung kommt erneut die Freiheit.
