On August 13, the Russian Ministry of Defence confirmed that ” the town of Peski in the Donetsk People’s Republic was completely liberated as a result of the offensive actions of the Allied forces”. The DPR People’s Militia confirmed that as of August 13, 2022, 267 settlements, including Peski came under Russian control.
The assault units of Russian-led forces claimed major success in the town of Peski on August 4. The Armed Forces of Ukraine were repelled from their military positions in the town and clashes continued only on the north-western outskirts. Then the first reports about DPR control of the town came from the front lines. These claims were officially confirmed on August 13, when Ukrainian forces left the town.

On August 12, two companies of the 56th brigade of the AFU reportedly deserted from their military positions near Peski. According to the local reports, the personnel fled in the direction of Dnepropetrovsk.
Due to the high intensity of the fighting in the area, losses in some Ukrainian units amount to more than 70%. The moral and psychological state of Ukrainian servicemen who held the defense in this area are low.
The fighters of the Somalia battalion of the DPR shared video showing their aid to the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who were found in the trenches in Peski. DPR servicemen gave water and provided the necessary medical assistance to their enemies.
“Thank you for your help, he is my friend,” one of the AFU fighters said.
Then, AFU militants opened fire on their comrades when the Somalia battalion began to evacuate the surrendered Ukrainians.
DPR servicemen showed military positions and foreign military equipment, including Javelin anti-tank complexes and MG 42 machine guns, left by the AFU in Peski:
The advancing Russian-led units are expected to develop their offensive towards Vodianoe to surround Ukrainian forces in Avdeevka from the south-western direction. The General Staff of Ukraine has previously confirmed the growing threat for its grouping in Avdeevka amid Russian advance to the south of the town. The Kiev’s regime is yet to claim the loss of Peski.
Bravo, now it’s time to liberate Nikolaev. DPR servicemen should use the captured Javelins against the AFU.
It appears like the RF forces are now satisfied with what they have achieved by carving an area along its immediate border with Ukraine to serve as buffer zones boostering its defence line, clearly a faulty strategy bcoz that made Zelensky comfortable in Kiev with the absence of strong pressure to accept the Russian terms of peace agreement, and actually emboldened the comedian and NATO to escalate their deluded desire aiming to reclaim “Ukrainian territorial lands” including Donbass & Crimea. SMO should have covered the entire Ukraine and not limited itself to small patches of land adjacent to the border, once a firm control after victory is established, Moscow could start returning the territory based on mutually agreed settlement.
That also explains why SF community is so frustrated about the conduct of RF forces shifting into a limited REACTIONARY stance instead of speedy marching straight up all the way to kiev, that was viewed by ukroNATOnazis as weakness on the part of Russia, a situation where an easier task of denazification has to change into a much complex mission of deNATOsization.
The bear was only toying with its prey bcoz if it’s serious enough, Odessa would be a top priority to completely seal and fully control what’s coming in & out of Ukraine. A limited SMO is a big mistake and must be substituted with a full military takeover to achieve the Russian objectives.
Well it is now obvious that Moscow’s another objective is to carve a landscape along its immediate border to create a buffer zone boostering the defence line, just like what Erdogan is attempting to achieve in Syria. That’s why the Kremlin named it as (LIMITED) SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION, without further escalatory intention but to convince everyone to accept that its newly created buffer zone is permanent.
So, allow me to give a piece of advice to SF community not to expect further escalation from RF forces unless there’s an event of substantial provocations which would force them to launch a calibrated reactionary measure to match the carnage.
You might be right, it would certainly fit in with Lavrov’s statement the other day, (something like) ‘the longer the range of Ukrainian weapons, the more territory that the RF would have to take’ I agree if that is the RF objective they are making a mistake, it will only encourage the warmongers to ship Ukraine longer range weaponry, the malicious attacks on civilian targets won’t end until the regime is overthrown.
when the work is finished, take a rest as there is always more to do.
US has been planning to destroys Russia Ukraine EU and China even EU because EU is competitor of US trade.
They shall give some NLAW to IRA.
The Putin cockroaches just captured the town Peski with population 0 according to the 2010’s census. It was a ghost town even before the Putin terrorists invaded Ukraine. I suppose that the fucking lunatics have to report some good news to a terrorist human cockroach like Vladimir Putin before he throws them in a shithole somewhere in Moscow. Why won’t they just just throw Vladimir Putin in one of those same shithole and throw away the key? That’s because Russia is a nation of cowards.
You must lead a painful life, please don’t kill yourself
That must something. Waking up every morning and the first thing you see is a bald senile like Vladimir Putin riding a horse without a shirt showing off his filthy man tits. Every single fucking day. How do they live like that in Russia?
Oh great Prophet if you don’t like his tits then suck on his cock !!!
Go fuck a pig like muhammed was you pedoprophet Slava Russia
Please don’t insult the Muslim prophet. This loser ain’t even Muslim
Impossible not to insult a Pedo Like MoHamHead!!!
The quran was written by more than one author. There are nice parts to it.
Muslims insult themselves by showing that they worship a mythological fantasy figure that does not exist.
But they are in good company with other Middle Eastern religions.
Is stupidity put into the system.
That guy is actually a ZioNazi azzhole who despise mohammad in a way how he’s pushing his slogan that “mohammad is your prophet” mocking the muslims like the britz Salman Rusdie..
Again, you’re not leading a healthy life. Fight that urge to say bullshit every time you see a article, that’s better for your health.
Welcome Great Prophet. We missed you.
Wikipedia even stated sources unreliable. There were approximately 2000 people living in the settlement prior to the war. The Ukrainians used heavy weaponry to eliminate the defenses of the DPR militias in the early days of the 2014 war that’s followed the Coup in Kiev. The settlement went back and forth multiple times and ended in the control of Kiev’s forces. What is certain is the settlement is defensible, even if it is unpopulated at the moment, and has strategic significance for surrounding settlements and objectives of both sides.
It’s ghost town nobody wanted that the Putin cockroaches held off from capturing so that they can now make the phony claim that they’re advancing in Donetsk. The shitty Russian army hasn’t even advanced a mile in Donetsk.
Get lost you kike troll loser!
Clearly you lack the ability to research. If you did, you would have known that the DPR and Kiev forces have fought over this settlement for years, with Kievs military officials even claiming its importance in the assault against the DPR’s capital. In your understanding, if an area has zero population, it has zero value? So then why to armies hold bridges, crossings, mountain passes, roads and high grounds? Even ghost towns and abandoned/ heavily damaged and destroyed settlements hold value in their location and the ability to be part of a defensive network. The settlement of Peski was heavily defended. Observe and look at the intricate network of trenches, fortifications and defensive structures throughout the settlement and surrounding area. For Ukraine, Peski was a major staging area for Ukraine in its attempt to capture the Airport. It was also used for shelling of the DPRs capital using light and heavy Mortars and other artillery systems.
The Putin cockroaches probably have a dozen more ghost towns in Donetsk at their disposal just in case they have to break more phony news about the advancing shitty Russian army.🤣🤣🤣
I fail to understand your rambling? Clearly you seek to troll. That or you have no intellectual capacity beyond screaming nonsense. Ghost town or not, they serve a purpose of strategic importance. A reminder that many areas in europe where ghost towns during ww2. Even towns and villages in the USA were abandoned during the American Civil War, becoming ghost towns. Yet people returned and rebuilt after the hostilities ended.
Pobre retrasado
lol you idiot. lost territory is lost territory, no matter if theres resistance in it or not.
lol you ziokhasarian hasbara pcs of shit. 25% of ukropistan is liberated and more to come soon. no need for any hurry in donbas region, good enogh to gring daily over 1000 ukros due kia, mia and pow.
Can’t survive those TOS-A1 strikes
A startling difference between the ‘eeeeevil’ russians who help the prisoneers, and their ‘comrades’ form Kiev who slain the russian prisoneers and even their own comrades when taken POW.
And this is the democratic ucraine for what the West is struggling.
Where is all the foreign aid, those machine guns are old soviet Era vintage? Some old ww2 stuff…..
The WW2 era German MG 42s are still a potent weapon today and are better than the NATO shit of the same class. The British GPMG is too heavy.
Funnily enough, the USSR gained huge quantities of German weapons of all types and it is rumoured that is are still a lot of German WW2 equipment in old Soviet storehouses.
The USSR delivered large numbers of MG42s to the North Vietnamese army during the Vietnam war. Many unwanted Yanks were sent home in body bags after the MG42 buzzsaw cut them up, lol.
Sold off to the highest bidding drug cartel.
Let’s see if Russia gains momentum and breaks AFU in Donbass. Time to end the war for Ukraine!
Bataillon somalie?pourquoi ce nom
Kinda joke, because of poor equipment in 2014 and fierce intention to fight like somalian pirates.
The MG 42 probably came from one of their SS Grandfathers who collaborated with the Nazis in WW2.
It’s an M-60 supplied by the US from surplus military stock, the design was incorporated from the MG 42. Many NATO and world militaries use/used for decades.
Bullshit. It is a german MG3 with serial numbers removed. It is almost similar to a MG42, and it has been supplied by Germany.
These Ukrainian soldiers did the right thing. There’s no point dying for a lost cause, or a gay nato robot.
a teacher, a few farmers, an accountant,
I believe they confirmed this 2 weeks ago, pitter-patter.
Well done for liberating Peski, eliminating a vast amount of the scourge of the Donbass and rescuing the cannon fooder. Hope the caj were insignificant. caj = casualties
my anus was recently liberated by USA #1 Hans and friezen in idaho trailer park
These are US and NATO proxies from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Yeman, Syria, Lybia, Iraq. These are the more recent mess created by the sociopaths and they are incapable of any success. Other than sowing KAOS. Now they want target Russia, as a terrorist state. 🙄 Desperation like this and targeting Nuclear and chemical facilities of its own people is no less insane. US and NATO have no right to exist; in its present form; as they are they are the worst destructive force to humanity. Like the NAZIS of World War 2, they will be met with force and destroyed at its source this time. Pushing Russia and China together was the biggest misstep they ever made and their destruction is sealed.
in the soon coming WW 3 the US/NATO will lose by the finger of God it will be broadcast worldwide…the nazis, communists and fascists will all be slaughtered, the corrupt churches (Babylon) will suffer terrible vengeance judgement begins at the house of God 1st Pet 4:17…pedophiles baby rapers, these blood swilling cannibals will be burned alive…the Angel’s that destroyed Sodom Gomorrah Admah Zeboim and Zoar were sent down to this nation in March of 2009…they are here to burn this planet…they will start by burning these wicked people (tares) in the churches…
