Operational Corps News Today

Ukrainian armor has broken through the outermost trench of the Russians’ three-layer defensive line—the so-called “Surovikin Line”—just west of Verbove.

Breaching the first layer of the so-called “Surovikin Line” was hard for the Ukrainians. What happens next might be harder.

Ukraine's Defence Forces have deployed the 10th Operational Corps reserves to advance in the vicinity of the village of Robotyne in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Source: The Washington Post Details: The Washington Post said fighting in southeastern Ukraine this week was intense as Kyiv continued a large-scale campaign to liberate territories with a new injection of troops trained and equipped in the West.

Thanks in large part to Germany, Ukraine operates scores of engineering vehicles that alone, or in teams, can clear mines, fill trenches and excavate berms.

Ukrainian troops apparently found a way around the Mala Tomachka minefield—and now reportedly are advancing south toward Robotyne.

The Russian leader and his circle have seen all the documents by now, and hed probably prefer that no one else did.
