The Russian military had destroyed three Ukrainian assault groups west of Orekhov in the Zaporozhye Region, acting governor Yevgeny Balitsky said on August 5.
According to the governor, the Ukrainian strike group attempted to launch an attack against Russian positions close to Rabotino.
“At the same time, our aerial reconnaissance detected the concentration of three assault groups to the west of Orekhov. All groups were destroyed, the remaining Ukrainian fighters withdrew in the northern direction,” Balitsky wrote on his Telegram channel.
Video footage from this direction showed a destroyed German-made Leopard 2 tank as well as recent drone and helicopter strikes on Ukrainian positions and vehicles.
In the Donetsk direction, the Russian Vostok Group of Forces foiled an attempt to rotate Ukrainian units near Nikolskoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the group’s spokesman Oleg Chekhov said.
“The units of the eastern battlegroup thwarted the enemy’s attempt to rotate units northeast of the Nikolskoye settlement. The fighters who arrived for the rotation were destroyed,” the spokesman told TASS.
Chekhov added that a Ukrainian reconnaissance group was detected and destroyed by the group to the northwest of the Priyutnoye.
In addition, the group’s artillery destroyed a Ukrainian control center for drones in the Novodonetsk region, the spokesman said.
“Rocket-launching artillery fire destroyed the command post for unmanned aircraft of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Novodonetsk region and the Msta-B towed howitzer in the Novoivanovka region,” he said.
Chekhov also noted that artillery fire destroyed an electronic warfare station west of Zolotaya Niva, a mortar crew of the Kiev forces northwest of Novodonetsk, and a grenade launcher crew north of Urozhaynoye.
He added that Russian Lancet loitering munitions destroyed two Ukrainian Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers in the Donetsk region.
“Lancet loitering ammunition destroyed two Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers in the areas northwest of Ravnopol and Velyka Novoselka,” the spokesman said.
In the Krasny Liman direction, the artillery and aviation of the Russian Tsentr Group of Forces foiled several attacks close to Torskoye and the Serebryansky forest. Ukrainian losses amounted to 90 troops, an infantry fighting vehicle, two armored vehicles and two mortars.
Moreover, the group’s air defenses shot down four drones and its aviation struck two enemy strongholds near Torskoye and Serebryanka.
It’s worth noting that early on August 5, Russian maritime rescue units were deployed early assist an oil tanker off the coast of Crimea. The vessel, identified as Sig, was left without propulsion after what reports said was a strike by an Ukrainian naval drone.
“The crew is safe, there were no injuries,” a spokesperson for the Novorossiysk Marine Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC) told TASS, shortly after 2 am local time. “The engine room was damaged, though not severely.”
Ukraine confirmed its responsibility for the attack and even released a video showing the tanker being hit by a suicide naval drone while sailing in the Kerch Strait.
With the ninth week of Ukraine’s counteroffensive nearing its end, very little has changed on the battlefield. Kiev forces continue to sustain heavy human and material losses while making no meaningful gains in any direction.

majú sa čím chváliť, len čo je pravda. uvidíme čo budú na to hovoriť v západných mainstreamových plátkoch keď im ruské vojská oplatia rovnakou mincou. potom im škrípanie zubou už nepomôže.
russia, take off the gloves !!! as long as the yankee spy planes are in the sky, the nazi terrorists will hit you !!!
nope… bad idea. the us/uk/eu/nato/nazi gang is waiting for it! these terrorist attacks by the kiev junta are the moves of the desperate because the military benefit of these attacks is zero! these are moves they want to provoke russia and escalate the conflict. russia will continue at the same pace and consistent observance of international rules…
i agree , sure the spy flees make trouble but not worth to overreact
…schön zu sehen, wie meine steuern in der ukraine in rauch aufgehen!
herr scholz, wenn sie diesen krieg weiter führen wollen, dann finanzieren sie ihn mit ihren ersparnissen, oder schicken sie habeck, lindner und baerbock als freiwillige an die front in der ukraine, -aber verschwenden sie nicht mein geld!!!!!!!!!!!!
die eu hat doch die finanzierung durch unser geld für die nächsten jahre schon fix gemacht.
bang for bug best war since gulf war 2 and money well spent.
lol an afd ossi on social security is complaing about waste of tax payers money. other than tabaco, alcohol and vat taxes ur kind hasnt paid any taxes ever since the wall fell eastwards and us real germans have to sustain u.
i thought you are a afd nazi. are you then an old nazi ?
he is just a west german who channels his dark feelings towards the direction that is permitted by uncle sam. tomorrow he may start hating chinese if uncle sam tells him. and if they manage to kill putin and replace him with yelzin 2.0 he will pretend he never hated russians at all. ;-)
true about me being west german, wrong about feeling towards russians and the communist occupation force of china needs to be destroyed, there is just one real china and taipeh is its capital.
afd nazis are on putin’s side, just like kkk clan, orban and le pen. the rightwingers get a hardon for bunker grandpa or they are all just financed by the flathead mafia grandpa . anyway endsieg is coming. freedom and dedumbification for russia.
they are just pretending to get votes in the elections. afd a couple years ago wanted to be voted into the eu parliamant and said they will block russia sancions. once elected they all voted in favour of it. same with meloni and her right wing party in italy. they all just talk about sovereignity to get elected once they are in parliament they cosy up the the us.
what a pity. russia still cannot prevent air traffic in and out of ukraine.
is this a military supply oil tanker of the rusian forces or a civilian private one? if the latter would be the case then ukraine would be the first country since nazi germany to chose total war. and different to that it would do it with the approval of the entire west.
civil. the russian military does not need an oil tanker in the black sea at all…
odessa cutting off!
ur right, odessa is cutting off any connection to the russian flatheads. endlösung der russenfrage in eastern europe is coming. flatheads only living in their natural rashnik habitat.
“endlösung der russenfrage”, ok it means old nazi
u dont know shit about national socialism, anyway for me ur just a flathead 🦜 repeating kremlin propaganda line, it has been this way with flatheads for decades, once they called all enemies, trotzkis, kulaks,maoist, imperialists, natoists or whomever and killed millions of innocent. now bunker grandpa fantasieses about nazis.
