Ukrainian offensive in summer 2023, based on the data provided by the Ukrainian military officials
The counteroffensive of the Kiev regime has been ongoing for 13 weeks. During three months of bloody attacks on the southern and eastern frontlines, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) managed to slightly advance in the southern DPR and the Zaporozhye region. According to the official data of the Ukrainian military, less than 250 square kilometers were captured and the AFU took control of 12 small villages. However, most of them are rather in the grey zone or under close Russian fire control.
Despite the Kiev’s claims that the village of Rabotino, which became the main battlefield in the Zaporozhie region in the recent weeks, allegedly came under Ukrainian control long ago, heavy battles have been ongoing there for the central and southern parts of the settlement.
Only on the evening of September 1, some Russian sources confirmed that the Russian military left their military positions in the south of Rabotino and were forced to retreat southward to another line of defence near the village. Some reports claimed that fighting is still ongoing on the southern outskirts.
Half of Rabotino reportedly remains in the grey zone. Russian forces continue local counterattacks, heavily shelling the Ukrainian grouping in the village. After the reported Russian withdrawal from their positions, Russian aviation began pounding the AFU with heavy bombs. By evening, the AFU attempted to transfer additional forces on the US Bradley BMPs to the area in an attempt to strengthen the strongholds.

More Ukrainian losses:
The Ukrainian and NATO military command expected to take control of the small village in the first days of counteroffensive. However, they faced fierce resistance of Russian servicemen and their well prepared defences. As a result, the battle has been ongoing there for more than two months. Several Ukrainian units were destroyed in the Russian minefields and in fighting for Rabotino, where there are only four streets and one concrete building of the local school located in the south, which could serve as the only stronghold in the area. All the private houses were immediately destroyed by the battles.
School in Rabotino
Suffering the horrific losses, the Ukrainian military command was forced to deploy the 82nd Separate Assault Brigade from the strategic reserve several weeks ago. This manoeuvre helped to force the Russians to retreat to the southern outskirts.

Russian FPV drones in action:
The battle for Novoprokopovka located to the south of Rabotino is yet to begin. At the same time, Russian forces are still in control of the fields to west of Rabotino, as well as other villages in the area, including Kopani, Verbovoe, Novofedorovka. They threaten the further Ukrainian advance to the south towards Tokmak.
As a result, the Ukrainian military is forced to expand the zone of control to straighten the front. While their attacks on Verbovoe led to no victories, the AFU have recently attempted to advance in the steppes to the east of Rabotino. They have recently slightly advanced on the Rabotino-Verbovoe line. The Ukrainian military command likely plans to bypass the settlements and threaten the Russian grouping deployed north of Verbovoe with partial encirclement, forcing them to retreat.
hohols will soon push russians out of the entire ukraine and crimea. putin should be removed as soon as possible.
the next stop odessa or kharkov , not crimea , you have a false navi
hahahahaha hahaha hahaha hahahahahah ahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahah ahahahahahah ahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha hahahahaha hahaha hahaha hahahahahah ahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahah ahahahahahah ahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha
who, zelensky? sucker’s born every minute, like they say.
with another 300,000 conscripts scraped off ukraine’s streets, i’ll just betch’ya zelensky can capture another empty village, until it gets tossed onto the rubbish heap too.
haha wake me up when it happens, ok?
maybe in another universe, but not this one and not for eternity. but, keep dreaming.
d’une part il est vrai que les ukrainien n’ont pas beaucoup progressés pendant deux mois, mais d’un autre coté, on ne sent pas les russes capables de reprendre ce qui est perdu… en tout cas si on analyse sur un an:
les russes tirent surtout sur les soldats au lieu de conquérir des régions. ils attendent que l’armée de l’otan soit épuisée.
the only russian attack force was wagner, which the russians destroyed themselves. ukrainian skies are still closed to russian aircraft, and ukrainian planes are still flying…; this is abnormal.
ukraine is wasting battalion after battalion. ukraine is fully propped up by nato money, not just it’s military equipment, but it’s entire economy as well. 80% of it’s people have fled or are on the other side, 1% is dead, 3% wounded. saudi-arabia basically switched sides from us to china/russia. niger and gabon are rebelling against france.
hahahahaha hahaha hahaha hahahahahah ahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahah ahahahahahah ahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha
funny words from a dying man. ha ha
sounds like our money well spent.
“and ukrainian planes are still flying”
yes, they are now made of cardboard and are the size of a bag of milk and have a range of 150km.
a great achievement with over 150 billion dollars of support to ukraine
4 planes were shot down by russian su 57 ( accord ukrainian sources crashed themselves)
i put diamond chandeliers in every room of my miami mansion and had enough left over for italy and israel too. thank you, america!
don’t forget my chandelier.
no, you’re abnormal. slap yourself in the face and wake up to reality. you’ve already been slapped silly.
you sound like a pseudo-analyst. lol
it seems the ukrainians will liberate their cuntry.
the eu already liberated their cunts. they’ll never go home to hubby, even if he lives.
halina says: “i make a lot more putting out for smelly old germans than hubby ever could make back home.”
now it’s getting tight for russia. the village of rabotino is just the beginning. if the ukros continue at this speed, they will be on the verge of sevastopol in june 2049
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
i think sf is not getting good intelligence on much going on the battlefield lately. youtube has better reports from individuals giving updates.
can you explain? i also noticed sf report less about battles. what’s actually going on? can you suggest good least unbiased channels?
zelensky said he has to scrape up a bunch more drunks and dopeheads off the street for the next battle and asked that we be a little more patient.
meanwhile, a flurry of new internet searches on medical websites in ukraine is happening on just how to break a leg bone so it takes 2 to 3 years to heal..
ha ha.. nice try troll. we all know that youtube is nothing but dumb shit, fake news and propaganda videos. this is one of the best intel sites out there and you cant compete that’s why you try to shut them down.
i like to listen to zelenksy’s spokeswoman. she’s always good for a laugh.
then there’s that spokestranny. three words from that one has me laughing all day. but cut it off after three words because any more will give you the heebie jeebies.
oops, sorry…it already cut it off. perfect ukrop spokestranny.
tak to má byť, len tak do nich. nenechať ich si ani len vydýchnuť. treba ich biť na každom jednom kroku!!!
‘don’t cry for me, rabotino. the truth is i never left you (…well maybe just a little bit).” oh dear, what a shambles. rus needs to release general armageddon from house arrest and place him back in command before it’s too late.
dear finlaid…….rabotino is just another one of those ukrainian roach motels the russians like to lay out on the landscape. ukrops check in but they never check out.
man, that’s a lot of roaches. i hope some of my tax dollars goes to better hygiene.
just as ‘the longest journey starts with the first step’, the successful counter offensive starts with the first recaptured village. the smo has failed to establish a ‘what we have we hold’ iron willed mentality, and increasing numbers of dead and tortured innocent donbass civilians is the result. rus is failing to protect those who placed their lives in its hands in numerous referenda (2022).
mr. finlayson is just another nato troll, we have had seen many so far. it is interesting that such finlaysons are all the same, acting like a turd in a bowl of punch, pretending to be a piece of orange, while their main task is to sow doubt and discord. fake spectators and sheere propaganda agents in a best tradition of chatam house. can’t you learn that you can not win the war by propaganda and lies? not even a sinlge battle.
not too bright are you, derek? check my other comments and those of the real nato wannabe trolls who do want rus to cave in to the usa (and showering the smo in false praise – like ritter, lavelle etc). i am one of the few on here insisting that rus (like iran and nk) actually stand up to us-nato instead of holding back and allowing ukr-nazis to continue murdering russian citizens in donbass and the borders. s’truth!

us and uk are falling on their promises that they will help ukrainians to win this war. all they achieved is terrible destruction of ukraine and huge amount of ukrainian lives lost (irrelevant, untemensch slavs, as they see them). smo hasn’t failed in anything. nato efforts, on the other hand is a prime example of global debacle turning many countries against so called west.
ukros suicidal losers. theyare already triying to kidnape ukros in germany because theyare running out of cannon fodder. it will be over in 6 months….
it’s already over.
how come slovenia and kosovo had a right to secede but crimea and donbass didn’t. hmmm?
milosevic was a pussycat compared to pukoshenko and zelwart. what took russia so long? i think the americans are full of crap up to their ears.
