Overall, it is becoming increasingly clear that the widely publicized offensive on Donetsk has, as expected, amounted to zilch. The Ukrainian Armed Forces does not have any more strength. It simply does not. And that is all. Moreover, the Junta forces are facing several simultaneous catastrophes on the local scale, which can become operational-tactical in nature and then strategic.

DPR
The Saur-Mogila Area
The counter-offensive of the DPR forces that began on August 11, 2014 resulted in the DPR army taking control of Stepanovka on August 12, 2014 and then of Marinovka in the morning of August 13, 2014. The Marinovka border crossing checkpoint (“KPP”) was taken over in the afternoon of August 13, 2014. Thereby, the Southern Cauldron 2.0 was formed. As a result, three more armoured-tank groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces ended up being encircled. Although the Junta troops’ desperate attack on Stepanovka on August 13-14, 2014 resulted in heavy fighting on the outskirts of the village and in the settlement itself, it ultimately resulted in the attacking grouping’s complete rout. So far, the trumpeted importance of Saur-Mogila appears to offer the Ukrainian army no particular solace. This suggests that the widely advertised capture of the strategic height was nothing more than a PR move on the part of the Junta (equivalent to the Nazi Germany installing its flag on Mount Elbrus in 1942).

Snezhnoye-Miusinsk-Krasniy Luch (DPR+LPR)
The situation is under the complete control of the Militia. Although the enemy grouping has not lost its combat capability entirely yet, it has been dissected by the Militia into parts and is fighting on the defensive. Considering the importance of the nearby road intersection for communication lines between the Republics and Russia, the elimination of this enemy grouping has been prioritized. Control over Miusinsk has been fully restored. Krasniy Luch also is firmly in the hands of the Militia.

South of Donetsk
In the last few days, fierce battles were fought in the Ilovaisk area. The importance of this region is that it represents a convenient springboard for an attack into the rear of the Amvrosievka grouping of the Ukrainian forces. On the other hand, the Junta’s contemplated offensive aimed at the encirclement of Donetsk also required the taking of this city. And that is why the DPR Army fought to retain it at all costs. And not only succeeded, but defeated the advancing enemy grouping. Throughout the area, the enemy has been driven back and in the last day showed no signs of activity. It appears that the Junta has exhausted its reserves in this direction of the front (that which was available likely will be redeployed in an attempt to de-blockade and relieve the new Southern Cauldron, opening several important opportunities for the DPR Army).

West of Donetsk
Apart from the foolish destruction of the bus carrying Praviy Sector militants, nothing else happened. In general, there is a lull in this section of the front.

North of Donetsk, Gorlovka, Debaltsevo
Fierce battles were fought here in all the previous days. At first, there were the strikes of the Kiev forces on Nizhnyaya Krynka, the DPR Army’s junction area between Gorlovka and Yasinovataya. Simultaneously, a second strike followed from Debaltsevo on Uglegorsk. This part of the operations was aimed at the encirclement and dissection of the Donetsk-Makeevka-Gorlovka grouping of the DPR Army. Due to lack of sufficient troops the operation became bogged down without reaching its goals. Yesterday, the DPR Army commenced its counter-offensive. Yasinovataya is once again controlled by the DPR. The development of the offensive in the direction of Panteleimonovka will cut off the enemy strike group from the rest of the forces. Near Gorlovka the enemy has lost dozens of armoured vehicles, essentially losing its strike capabilities. Moreover, the grouping of Mozgovoi has started an offensive into the rear of Debaltsevo. As of this morning, battles were being fought on the outskirts of the city. The threat to the Junta in losing Debaltsevo is the creation of yet another cauldron. At the same time, the battlefield here has been radically transformed. The Junta is no longer advancing, but rather is doing its best not to end up encircled in new cauldrons.

LPR
South of Lugansk
The Russian humanitarian convoy awoke the hostilities from hibernation also on this front. The goal of derailing the convoy has prompted the Junta’s leadership to organize an attack on Novosvetlovka-Khryashchevatoye. The goal here is to cut off the remaining open road that enabled the supply of the Lugansk garrison. The initial success (caused by the suddenness of the strike) has turned into a complete rout. As of this morning, the units of Battalion Aidar were crushed in the area of Khryashchevatoye (the Junta has admitted 22 dead and 36 wounded). In the area of Novosvetlovka, the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (totaling up to a company of tanks and a company of motorized infantry) sustained significant losses (losing up to half of the tanks). Right now, the LPR Army is engaged in artillery suppression and elimination of the entrenched grouping. A day or two, and here also everything will be over.

Conclusions
Whatever one’s attitude may be with respect to the latest resignations (Strelkov, Bolotov), but … it was after these resignations that the general staff of the Militia’s Armed Forces was created, such that it can now properly be called an army. This is so because central command was the one thing that the Militia lacked to function as such. The result of this coordination is already apparent. Moreover, by formally giving the leadership of the Republics a purely Ukrainian appearance, this transformation has provided the Army of the Southeast with the capacity to start solving tasks outside the borders of the Republics. Not only military ones, but political objective as well. The centralization of the military command will also oust the remnants of Makhnovism, which have been discrediting the movement. And so, a radical turn in the war no longer is just fast approaching. It is already visible with a naked eye.

Among the Junta forces, increasingly, it is not the names of regular units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that we see flash in the briefings, but those of militarized battalions. This is a direct consequence of the losses that were suffered by the Junta troops in the last several weeks, resulting in units of the second line coming to the forefront. This forced transformation immediately aggravated the losses of the Ukrainian strike groups (the example of Ilovaisk is quite telling in that regard). In other words, the most battleworthy units of the Junta have either already been exterminated (the 72nd, the 79th, the 51st, and parts of the 24th Brigads), or are currently blockaded in cauldrons (the 80th, the 95th, the 30th, and parts of the 24th Brigade). At the same time, the militarized battalions that were left holding the front cannot compare to the regular army despite all their patriotic zealotry. In other words, at the front we are observing an equalization of forces not only in terms of quantity (particularly in military hardware), but also in terms of quality (in fact, quality-wise, the Army of the Southeast already has an appreciable advantage).

Negdje sam sinoć na nekom portalu pročitao, da je u dosadašnjoj kampanji ukrajinske vojske na istoku Ukrajine poginulo preko 4.000 ukrajinskih vojnika. Sad, koliko je to propaganda, koliko objektivno - ne znam. Broj je prevelik.

Pakao u Donjecku: Ukrajina granatirala sistemom „Grad“

DONjECK – Najmanje 10 civila je poginulo, a osam je ranjeno u napadu ukrajinske vojske raketama tipa „Grad“ na Donjeck i predgrađe tog grada u poslednjih 24 sata, javila je ruska novinska agencija Itar Tass.

„Noć je bila napeta i zvuci simultane i sukcesivne artiljerije i eksplozije čule su se širom grada“, saopšteno je iz Gradskog veća.

Juče tokom dana porušeno je nekoliko zgrada, a zbog oštećena trafo stanice, bez struje je ostalo više od 40.000 stanovnika.

Gađana je hemijska fabrika koksa i železničku stanicu u Makejevki, gde je jedna granata pala na peron.

Glas Rusije je javio da je predsednik Ukrajine Petar Porošenko izjavio da su ukrajinske oružane snage zauzele grad Ždanovka u Donjeckoj oblasti, međutim, u štabu snaga samoodbrane je saopšteno da se tamo vode pozicione bitke.

Misija OEBS juče, u svom dnevnom izveštaju, navela da je situacija u Donjecku, na istoku Ukrajine, i dalje napeta i da se u pojedenim kvartovima mogu čuti eksplozije.

Predstavnici specijalne posmatračke misije OEBS-a u Donjecku naveli su da su se čule snažne eksplozije u kvartovima istočno i južno od centra grada, dok je sever Donjecka trenutno bio miran.

Sergej Kavtaradze, član bezbednosnog saveta samoproglašene Narodne Republike Donjeck, rekao je za Itar-tas s da ukrajinska vojska svakodnevno „zasipa“ Donjeck projektilima.

Kijev traži vojnu pomoć EU i NATO-a
IZVOR: B92, BETA, TANJUG
Kijev -- Predsedavajući u parlamentu Ukrajine Aleksandar Turčinov rekao na sastanku predstavnika osam baltičkih država u Litvaniji da je Ukrajini potrebna vojna pomoć.


Turčinov je naveo da je Ukrajini potrebna “prava pomoć”, uključujući moderno naoružanje, avijaciju, protivtenkovske sisteme i zalihe vojne opreme, prenela je agencija Itar tas.

Njegova izjava izazvala je nezadovoljstvo zvaničnika Moskve, a šef ruske diplomatije Sergej Lavrov rekao je novinarima u Berlinu da je zahtev za vojnu pomoć upućen državama EU i NATO-a izvan okvira ranijih dogovora.
Ukrajinski ministar spoljnih poslova Pavel Klimkin izjavio je juče nemačkim medijima da bi države EU i NATO-a trebalo da pružaju vojnu pomoć Kijevu. Ranije danas, premijer Finske Aleksandar Stub izjavio je da Evropska unija i NATO nisu u mogućnosti da pruže vojnu podršku ukrajinskim snagama koje se bore protiv proruskih snaga na istoku Ukrajine. "To naravno nije moguće. Znamo da NATO daje vojnu pomoć samo svojim članicama, dok EU nema kapacitete da pruži takvu vrstu pomoći", rekao je Stub za javni finski radio ILE. Ranije danas je i nemački diplomata Volfgang Išinger izjavio da EU ne bi trebalo da šalje vojnu pomoć u Ukrajinu. Ministar spoljnih poslova Ukrajine je pozvao u subotu NATO i Evropsku uniju da pruže vojnu pomoć i iznesu novu strategiju u stavu prema Kijevu kako bi pomogli da se okonča četvoromesečni sukob.
