Day 535: 13 Aug Russians Furious. Ukrainians WIPED OUT RUSSIAN MAIN BASE in 1 SCALP Strike | Ukraine War Ukrainian territory is witnessing the meltdown of the Russian army on all front lines from the Crimea to the Donbass. Especially in recent days, Kiev has expanded its counter-attack plans actions by including the air force in the attacks of unmanned aerial vehicles and naval surface vehicles. Ukrainian Air Force personnel, on the other hand, have come to the fore in critical southern front lines such as Zaporizhia, Tokmak, Melitopol and Kherson lately.

An important offensive operation is currently underway in these southern regions of Ukraine. With the support of the Ukrainian Air Force to these operations, the Russian casualties are increasing and Moscow is leaving the occupied Ukrainian southern settlements one by one. Long-range missiles supplied from the West, on the other hand, adapt to Ukrainian fighter jets, increasing Kiev’s air success by 50%. At the head of these long-range missiles are the French-made SCALPs. SCALP long-range missiles deployed on Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jets have already begun to destroy Russian military resources in the southern trenches, despite their recent arrival.

MiG-29 fighter jets equipped with SCALP long-range missiles recently conducted dozens of sorties in and around Zaporizhia. As a result of these sorties, the Ukrainian Air Force carried out twelve attacks against Russian military resources in the direction of Zaporizhia. Ten of these attacks were against a Russian manpower and equipment cluster, one against an anti-aircraft missile complex, and the other against a Russian supply centre. It was claimed that SCALP long-range missiles were used in these air attacks by the Ukrainians. And it was even among the incoming data that the Russian supply center in Zaporizhia was blown up by SCALPs.

While the Russians were shaken by these critical air strikes, the Ukrainian Air Force continued to keep its course in the direction of Zaporizhia. As a result of successive sorties by Ukrainian pilots, 8 ammunition depots and 1 checkpoint belonging to the Russian army in the direction of Tavria were destroyed. It is reported that artillery batteries of the Ukrainian Defense Units also participated in these mind-blowing airstrikes. It was also revealed that in this offensive operation in Tavria, nearly 250 soldiers of the Russian army were out of the war and more than 20 Russian military equipment was destroyed in the region.

In other words, the cost of this offensive operation, carried out jointly by the artillery batteries of the Ukrainian Air Force and the Defense Units, was quite heavy for Moscow. Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, commander of the Tavria troop group, also confirmed these critical data. According to the commander, the artillery units of the Defense Forces carried out 1,545 shooting missions during the day. Russian troops continued to suffer military losses as the Ukrainian Air Force continued offensive operations in the Tavria direction. As a result of these critical operations, which lasted only 24 hours, the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed 3 battle tanks, 6 battleships, 3 artillery systems and dozens of unmanned aerial vehicles of the Russian army in Tavria and other critical front lines of Zaporizhia.

As a result of these heavy attacks by the Ukrainian Air Force, it was seen that the Russian troops moved to a more defensive position in the direction of Zaporizhia. In addition to the air operations, the Ukrainian ground attack teams continued their offensive operations in Urozhaine after clearing the Russian troops from Staromaiorske in the direction of Velyka Novosilka. Ukrainian forces have taken steps in the past few days to push Russian troops from this enclave and seize overall control of the Zaporizhia front lines. Ukrainian special forces launched heavy attacks on the soldiers of the 37th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade of the Russian army near Urozhaine.

The vast majority of the soldiers of this Russian Brigade fled outside the city’s borders, paving the way for the Ukrainian advance. The offensive plans of Kiev continued in the direction of Kherson as well as Zaporizhia. Recently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the Russian command post on Novaya Kakhovka in the Kherson direction. This striking news was reported in the Strategic Communications Department of the Office of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Also, StratCom released a stunning video from Novaya Kakhovka in which huge plumes of smoke can be seen above the Russian checkpoint location.

Ukraine destroyed two major ammunition depots in occupied Oleshky district in southern Ukraine overnight on the 13th August. A mysterious fire erupted in Ramenskoye, 25 miles southeast of Moscow. Initial reports said the plant contained “fertilisers”, while others said it contained plastic pallets, but it was unclear if it also had a military purpose. The blaze ripped apart a warehouse and covered an area of more than 20,000 square feet with toxic black smoke surging into the sky.

Russian terrorists must feel only one thing: they will be destroyed - address by the President of Ukraine
13 August 2023 - 22:19
Address of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Fellow Ukrainians!
Today, Russian invaders brutally attacked Kherson region. There are dead and wounded.
At 4 am, the village of Veletenske was shelled. A house caught fire. A guy was wounded: he has severe burns, he is now in an intensive care unit.

9 am - the occupiers attacked the village of Shyroka Balka. They used artillery. Five people were killed.
Among them was a baby girl, 22 days old. Her brother, who was only 12 years old, was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, they could not save him. He died from severe wounds. The children’s mother - her name was Olesia, she was only 39 years old - died. My condolences!

Around the same time, the village of Stanislav was shelled. Two people were wounded, two were killed. The men were 71 years old and 57 years old.

In total, from the beginning of this day until 6 pm, there have already been 17 reports of shelling from Kherson region alone. Other regions include Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Donbas, Kharkiv, the border areas with Russia in the northeast.
Everywhere our warriors retaliate against the occupiers’ terror. There is not a single day when Russian evil does not get our completely fair retaliation.

Every occupier destroyed, every piece of Russian equipment burned, fire instead of their headquarters and warehouses, the very eloquent smoke on Kerch bridge and more - all this proves that we will not leave any of Russia’s crimes unanswered. And each of our warriors who gives Ukraine results on the frontline - along the entire frontline from Kharkiv to Kherson - each of our warriors has the opportunity to bring justice to Ukraine.

Everyone who helps our warriors. Now there are only two personal lines of behavior: either you fight for Ukraine, or you help fight and save lives.

Today, there is much to thank the 95th separate airborne assault brigade for: their resilience and results in the battles in the Kupyansk sector. Well done, warriors! Powerful.

The 1st battalion of the 67th separate mechanized brigade, also in the Kupyansk sector, acted heroically and courageously. Thank you!

The paratroopers of our glorious “Seventy-ninth” in the Maryinka sector - thank you, warriors!

Melitopol and Berdyansk direction - I thank every warrior who gives Ukraine the necessary results!
Bakhmut direction - well done, guys!

Every time we have something to thank our warriors for, Ukraine becomes closer to justice, closer to victory. And Russian murderers on our land become closer to destruction.

This is the only way we can create the conditions for the whole of Ukraine to become free and safe again.
Russian terrorists must feel only one thing: they will be destroyed.

And one more thing. Behind every report of shelling and injuries of our people, there are stories of heroism of our Ukrainian doctors and nurses working in the frontline areas.

I am grateful to all our medical workers who, despite everything, save lives!

Today, I would like to recognize those who have shown themselves the most in helping our people in Kherson region.
Doctors: Vasyl Chystiakov, Natalia Kyniv, Artur Rakhimov, Ivan Ososkalo. This is a team from the Kherson Regional Clinical Hospital.
Nurses: Iryna Tytarenko, Olena Bondar, Larysa Shmyhol.
Medics from the ambulance teams who helped the wounded in the villages of Stanislav, Komyshany and Shyroka Balka: Natalia Pupenko, Ilona Shylo, Victoria Hanzha, Maryna Shramkova, Svitlana Stoliarova.
Kherson’s ambulance: emergency medicine doctor Pavlo Dziuba and feldsher Vitalii Biriukov, both sent to Kherson region from Sumy for reinforcement.
Feldshers: Natalia Adriyanova and Vitalii Rudakov.
Kherson city hospital: surgeons Serhiy Bondaruk, Serhiy Tonkontsov and Viktor Yakovenko.
I thank you, each and every one of you, and all your colleagues, for every life saved!

The Ukrainian people are extremely brave and courageous. We know that freedom is priceless, and we know how to defend it. We know how to protect life. And we have to remember that every day must bring results in the defense of Ukraine. Not a single day should be wasted! At the front, in the areas near the front, everywhere in the rear, and, very importantly, by every diplomatic mission of Ukraine.

Weapons for our warriors, support for our state, and legal responsibility for Russian terrorists. Ukraine will definitely prevail! But this will be our common result. Of all those who are fighting and working for Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine!
