After failed large-scale attacks on the positions of the Russian military on the southern front lines, the intensity of Ukrainian offensive operations has decreased in recent days. The Ukrainian military continues attempts to break through the Russian defense in near the village of Rabodino in the Zaporozhye region and in the area of the Berkhovsky reservoir to the west of Bakhmut. Meanwhile, the other front lines are inflamed by positional battles.
On the morning of August 7, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched another attack on Russian positions north of the village of Rabotino located to the south of Orekhov in the Zaporozhie region. The assault group reportedly included several armored vehicles and several tanks. When approaching the forest belt, the group was hit by Russian artillery. After an armored vehicle was destroyed, the other vehicles returned to their original positions.
The activity of Ukrainian forces in the area of Orekhov remains low. The AFU continue attempts to break through along the Rabotino — Verbovoye line with small assault groups. So far, without any success. The Russian military is holding control of the village of Rabotino, while the AFU attempt to enter the ruines settlement from the northern and eastern outskirts.

Recent Ukrainian losses near Rabotino
The ruins of Rabotino:
Last night, a reconnaissance group of the AFU was spotted in the area of Pyatikhatki located to the east of the town of Vasilyevka. As a result of the shooting battle, the Ukrainian group was destroyed. According to preliminary reports, 4 Ukrainian servicemen were heavily wounded and several others were killed. The others fled back to the Ukrainian positions.
In general, the Ukrainian military suspended any large-scale offensive operations in the area. The villages of Pyatikhatki and Lobkovoe remain in the gray zone because they are located in lowlands and the AFU does not establish the strongholds there in order to avoid heavy losses. The Russian military is in control of the dominant heights in the area.

Ukrainian counteroffensive stuck on all the frontlines. Unable to hide their defeats any longer, Ukrainian officials regretfully admit that the “counteroffensive is not going according to their plans”. The meager advance of Ukrainian troops in two months cost the lives of tens of thousands of Ukrainians and hundreds of billions of dollars paid by NATO countries to arm Ukrainian soldiers.
Meanwhile, Kiev is proud to announce new victories. This time on the battlefield in Jeddah, where negotiations on the settlement of the conflict ended in failure. According to preliminary reports, neither the communique nor the final declaration were signed by the summit participants, who limited themselves to standard unsubstantiated statements.
intensity has decreased cuz ukraine is running out of men. 40k dead in the past 2 months alone, that means 120k wounded. at some point ur just gonna run out.
and weapons. nato masters are fast plunging into bankruptcy.

ukrainian regime lost all their “professional” fighters, now the only ones left are conscripts.
the ugladar footage is old. i am however very impressed esp by the accuracy of the russian attack helicopter pilots and their guided missiles. they have a very impressive rate of hits on uke armor… more so than some of the other russian weapon systems. even using night vision they have a very high hit probability.
what funny is that cnn tried to pass this footage as ukrainian
ukraine victory in jeddah? are you kidding?? sounds like copium to me for the massive loss of life in ukraine. i can just see the western mainstream headlines “ukraine losses to russia amount to hundreds of thousands but wins a battle in jeddah”. and tom sawyer can go suckmadik ya little beetch. bwahahaha

also when ukros are happy to soon get some 60 year old marder ifvs and leo1 tanks, than everything else better seems to run out.
ukros come now in the phase like the germans at the begin of 1945.
