Venislavsky explained when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive in Donbas/Channel 24

The situation in Donbas remains difficult. However, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are using tactics that will later allow them to launch a counteroffensive.

This was announced on Channel 24 by Fyodor Venislavsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense.

He explained that the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the defense and protection of Severodonetsk, Lisichanskaya, Lyman and Bakhmut are designed to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy. In particular, to deplete the personnel of infidels and destroy enemy equipment.

According to the people's deputy, this will soon allow us to launch counterattacks and liberate those temporarily occupied by Russian invaders territory of Ukraine.

However, unfortunately, we cannot yet say that mass counterattacks will be carried out in the near future,” Venislavsky stressed.

As the politician noted, the enemy still has quite a lot of reserves. Now the invaders are pulling up, albeit outdated, but models of weapons that allow the enemy to attack and build a fairly deep line of defense.

Lisichansk has political significance for the enemy,” Fedor Venislavsky added.

Why does Russia need Severodonetsk and Lysichansk

In addition, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense explained why Russia needs Severodonetsk and Lysichansk. He recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, declared the main goal.

We are talking about access to the administrative borders of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Now there are 2 settlements that Russian infidels are trying to capture:

• Severodonetsk;
• Lisichansk.

As Venislavsky noted, these settlements are important for the Russian invaders to reach the administrative borders of the Lugansk region.

For them, this is a more important moral and political task than a military, strategic or tactical one , – summed up the people's deputy.

What is the situation in Donbas: latest news

• As of On May 30, active fighting continues in the Donbass, in particular, in the Lugansk region.
• There, the Russian invaders are trying to cordon off the Ukrainian military in the area of ​​Lysichansk and Severodonetsk and block the routes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine use to reinforce.
• The head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Sergei Gaidai, on the morning of May 30, reported that the infidels were moving inside Severodonetsk. The fighting is very fierce and continues already in the city itself.
• In addition, a shot ambulance was found in the city. There were medics in it, but there were none in the car.

Kazansky spoke about bribes in the occupied territories/Channel 24 collage

In the temporarily Russian-controlled territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, men are trying to avoid mobilization.

However, the Russians who enter Ukraine and stand at checkpoints, like to cash in on others and take bribes. Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky spoke exclusively about this to Channel 24.

According to him, every man wants to avoid mobilization as best he can. There are different options:

• someone is hiding;
• others try not to live at the registration address – with relatives or friends;
• men don't even go outside.

However, there is a story where, for a bribe, you can leave this territory and get the so-called “reservation” in protection from mobilization.

This is done by those who have certain acquaintances. You can agree to go to Russia for 2-2.5 thousand dollars, where they don’t carry out such a powerful mobilization,” Kazansky said.

Therefore, some do just that, because in Russia they will not be missed on the street and not sent to war against Ukraine.

Riots are brewing in the occupied territories of Donbass due to illegal mobilization

• The Russian army began to lack “cannon fodder”, since their losses in the war against Ukraine had already reached 30 thousand.
• To make up for the losses, they decided to round up all the men in the territories of the so-called “DPR” and ” LNR”. However, the Russians have to meet with resistance. This was reported by the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, Lyudmila Denisova.
• According to her information, serious riots are brewing in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions as a result of the forced mobilization of the male population.
• It is also known about cases of skirmishes between Russian soldiers and local residents who were forcibly mobilized into the Russian army. the so-called “military prosecutor's office” is trying to suppress the protests and disperse all the dissatisfied, but this only exacerbates the situation.

Kazansky about mobilization and riots in Donbass/Collage 24 channels

Occupiers in Donbass take away to fight all the men they find. Therefore, wives and mothers began to protest – the so-called actions of “disagreement”. But now these women have started to be detained, they are also threatened.

This was reported to Channel 24 by Ukrainian journalist and video blogger Denis Kazansky.

He assured that the data as of the 96th day of the full-scale war shows that people are very unhappy.

< p class="bloquote cke-markup" dir="ltr"> In fact, people in Donbass even resort to local riots, uprisings and actions of “disobedience” against the so-called local authorities. This is mainly due to the mobilization carried out by the Russians, Kazansky said.

According to him, people are simply forcibly seized on the streets and sent to the front without preparation. And, of course, they die en masse in the war.

“In the occupied Lugansk, local women also carried out actions of “disobedience”. Mostly mothers and wives of mobilized men come out. They demanded from representatives of the occupation authorities so that their men would be returned and not taken to the war,” the journalist explained.

Kazansky said that some of these women subsequently arrested and threatened with up to 20 years in prison . “So, the Russian machine turned on, blocking any resistance and disagreement with what is happening,” he added.

Kazansky assured that most people, of course, are afraid to go to such rallies, they just sit and wait for it to be over.

The journalist says that all who can be taken away are taken away by infidels. Even public utilities, because of which there is no normal water supply. According to him, they left only a part of the men who support the life of the city, for example, working at power plants, etc.

Is it possible to avoid mobilization? According to Kazansky, there is such a possibility, in particular:

• someone is hiding,
• someone lives at a different address and tries not to go out,
• someone leaves for Russia for a bribe ($2,500).

Rebellion in the occupied territories of Donbass: in short

• Wives of men whom Russia forcibly sent to war, on May 23 they decided to move on to action. The women blocked the road to the convoy of cars on which their men were, so that the mobilized would not be sent to the front line.
• According to information, the infidels tried to convince that they were taking the soldiers to “rest” after participating in hostilities . However, in fact, the mobilized men were going to be transferred from one direction to another.
• Earlier, Lyudmila Denisova reported that there were known cases of shootings between Russian soldiers and local residents of ORDLO who were forcibly mobilized into the Russian army.< /li>
• Ukrainian journalist Denis Kazansky reported that women from the occupied territories of the Lugansk region, who went to a rally demanding the return of men from the combat zone, face 20 years in prison.

Consequences of the shelling of the Novy Bug/Channel 24 collage

< strong _ngcontent-sc87="">On the night of May 30, the Russian armed forces covered the city of Novy Bug in the Nikolaev region with fire. As a result of heavy shelling, many buildings were destroyed to the ground.

The Russians attacked with rocket artillery and a rocket

The infidels launched a night attack on the New Bug, so the scale of the consequences of the shelling became known at dawn. A local resident walked around the city, which withstood the heavy blow of the aggressor's troops, and recorded the destruction on video.

The invaders struck at the central part of the city, destroying many buildings. Near the miraculously surviving houses, windows and doors were knocked out by the blast wave. Other buildings are almost completely destroyed.

to a residential area. A man who fetched water died.

The mayor of the city Alexander Senkevich said that enemy shells damaged three high-rise buildings, in which 300 windows were knocked out. Explosions in Nikolaev continued during the day.

On the morning of May 30, it was again restless in Nikolaev. Local residents reported that they heard a lot of explosions, which may indicate another attack by infidels.

The occupiers in the Luhansk region have established cruel orders/Channel 24

In the Russian-occupied areas of the Lugansk region, the occupation administration is “strengthening control over the movement of vehicles: the new restrictions are likely caused by the activation of the local resistance movement. Further – in the exclusive blog for the Channel 24 website.”

The so-called “Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport” of infidels, at the direction of the leader of the quasi-republic Leonid Pasechnik, has made changes to the procedure for issuing tickets for bus routes by bus stations in the Lugansk region.

Kafirs are tightening the screws

So, according to the instructions of Gauleiter Pasechnik, it was decided to amend the order of the so-called “Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport” dated May 6, 2022 No. 189-OD, which establishes new rules for the sale of bus tickets by bus stations.

In particular, the requirement for bus stations to issue tickets for travel on suburban and intercity bus routes with the indication of the passenger's personal data is excluded. The sale of tickets for suburban and intercity traffic at the ticket offices of bus stations will be carried out in the usual manner.

At the same time, tickets for travel by “international” (between parts of the Luhansk region and Donetsk region seized by Russians) bus routes from June 9, 2022 plan to issue a birth certificate solely on the basis of the passenger's identity document (passport/passport identity document) living in the territory of the “non-republic”, a birth certificate).

The enemy is scared

The tightening of control by the occupation administration over the movement of the civilian population of the occupied regions of the Lugansk region is caused by two factors.

The first is the activation of the local resistance movement. As previously reported, representatives of the resistance movement of the Luhansk region repeatedly recorded and transmitted to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukrainian special services the coordinates of the basing of personnel and heavy armored vehicles of the Russians.

The other day, thanks to the information provided by local sources of the GI “Pravoe Delo” and the efforts of Ukrainian defenders, pontoon crossings near the villages of Belogorovka and Serebryanka, and artillery batteries of the enemy D-30, which “nightmare” residential areas of cities controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were destroyed.

Second – on the territory of the occupied regions of Lugansk and Donetsk regions, the forced mobilization of local residents into the ranks of illegal armed groups continues.

According to available information, in the Luhansk region, the Russians plan to call up to 60,000 men. However, due to the low motivation of the “conscripts” and their unwillingness to fight as “cannon fodder”, the mobilization plan was in danger of failure.

According to the analytical department of the GI “Pravoe Delo”, in mid-May the Kremlin was forced to send a special commission to Lugansk to check the state of combat readiness of the Russian troops.

Thus, the introduction of mandatory indication of the personal data of bus passengers may be aimed at identifying both representatives of the resistance movement and “deserters” and “evaders”.

Recall that the infidels also announced their intention to resume direct rail communication between the territories of Donetsk and Lugansk regions under their control and the annexed Crimea through the so-called “land corridor”.

< p>Such actions pursue not only the accelerated “integration” of the occupied territories into Russia, but also the improvement of the economic and military logistics of the occupying forces.

Sergei Gaidai reported this.
