Zaporozhye Direction; Zaporozhye-Pokrovskoe-Orekhov
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Units of the 'East' Group continued their advance into the depth of the enemy's defense. They inflicted defeat on formations of two mechanized brigades, one air assault brigade, one assault brigade, and two assault regiments of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of the settlements of Vozdvizhevka, Kopani, Obshchee, Novoselovka, Lyubitskoe in Zaporozhye Oblast,
[
and Pokrovskoe, Dobropasovo, and Velikomikhailovka in Dnepropetrovsk Oblast.
[
The enemy lost over 315 servicemen, five armored fighting vehicles, and ten vehicles. Units of the 'Dnepr' group of forces inflicted defeat on the personnel and equipment of two mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and a territorial defense brigade in the areas of the settlements of Kushgum, Grigorovka, Zaporozhets, and Orekhov in Zaporozhye Oblast and the city of Kherson (to the West)."
[
In recent weeks, the Russian Ministry of Defense has been reporting mainly on strikes against enemy concentration areas and on the fact that Russian units "have improved their positions along the forward edge." Let us try to understand what this means, using the example of one of the most active directions—the Zaporozhye direction and its junction with the Dnepropetrovsk direction.
Operating in these directions are the Russian army groups "East" and "Dnepr." By the end of the autumn-winter campaign on the eastern sector of the Zaporozhye direction, its junction with the southern sector of the Dnepropetrovsk direction, as well as on the central sector (Kushgum - Orekhov) of the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian Armed Forces took control of large areas of territory and many settlements. However, there is no continuous line of positions; the line is built between strongholds and defense areas that have their own zones of responsibility and sectors of fire impact on the enemy. In the second echelon, control is exercised by establishing checkpoints and introducing filling units into sectors: second echelons of formations, rear units and subunits, Rosgvardia units, military police units, large-caliber artillery, and repair bases. All of this must be positioned, protected, camouflaged, connected to supply lines for all types of provisions and communications, and have its own specific tasks and goals within the framework of the overall concept of the high command.
Coordination is organized among this diverse array of branches, arms of service, and special forces. Moreover, large concentrations of personnel and equipment are not permitted (everything is dispersed), as reconnaissance of all types (on both sides) easily detects these concentrations and immediately strikes them with all means of fire destruction.
Breakthrough actions and the concentration of necessary forces and means are achieved by individual groups moving out from different points, arriving within a strictly limited time frame into a designated area at initial positions from which offensive operations begin. Or each group (unit) moves out from its own area directly onto the main axis with a clearly defined task in terms of time and location. The personnel, while carrying out their task, may not even see or understand the overall concept of their senior commander, understanding only that their neighbors to the right and left are also gnawing at the enemy. This type of action requires a high quality of troop command, reconnaissance, communications, and coordination—both between neighboring units (groups) and between the various branches and arms of service.

East Group Area of Responsibility; The two solid blue lines with blue dashes between them represent the Anti-Tank ditch in front of Orekhov. The single solid blue line with blue dashes running parallel to it represents the Pokrovskoe-Gulyaipole defense line. The blue arches running along a solid blue line represent the Novonikolaevka to Orekhov defense line. Where you see blue arches facing alternating directions, that represents blocking positions of the AFU. The yellow line with red dots is the line of combat contact as of February 3rd, 2026.
The pause that occurs during the consolidation of territories must be used actively: understanding that the enemy has been pushed back to a more advantageous position in an already prepared and supported operational space, and that any pause on our part will be used by him to achieve his own goals and seize the initiative. During these periods, the high command may allow the enemy to demonstrate controlled initiative in order to uncover his intentions, determine his concentration areas through his activity and the direction of his transport movements, and identify the direction of his counterattacks.
In the directions we are examining, the enemy has shown activity and launched large-scale counterattacks on the following axes: Dobropasovo - Pokrovskoe - Boykovo (southeastern sector of the Dnepropetrovsk direction),
[
A*
Vozdvizhevka - Verkhnyaya Tersa - Kopani (center of the eastern sector of the Zaporozhye direction),
[
B*
and Kamyshevakha - Zaporozhets - Grigorovka (center of the Zaporozhye direction).
[
C*
This configuration of Ukrainian counterattacks was anticipated and appears natural:
a) counterattacks against the right flank of the "East" Group, along the Gaichur River, with the task of recapturing lost elements of the Gaichur defensive line and restoring it;
b) counterattacks into the bases of the line of contact salient in the area of the settlement of Rizdvyanka, on the Boykovo - Vozdvizhevka line and the settlement of Gorkoe, with the same goal;
c) counterattacks from the line along the Konka River and the H-08 front-line supply route (Kamyshevakha - Grigorovka), with the task of eliminating the Zaporozhnoe - Rechnoe salient and reaching the Novoyakovlevka - Primorskoe line, in order to eliminate the threat of a deep envelopment by the Russian Armed Forces of the Orekhov sector along the Novoyakovlevka - Yurkovka axis.
Based on this, the Russian Armed Forces, in these directions and sectors, are exhausting the counterattacking Ukrainian units in active defense, inflicting fire damage on their advancing reserves and groups maneuvering along the line of contact, as well as on the deployment areas of their second echelons (Lyubitskoe, Obshchee, Kushgum). In this way, the enemy's tactical advantage (a pre-prepared operational space) is being eliminated, and conditions are being prepared for his further defeat.
During these operations, Russian forward units may withdraw from their positions and reoccupy them, lure the enemy into fire pockets and into areas of concentrated fire, maneuver along the line of contact, counterattack, and so on.
This is active defense. Therefore, we regard the "everything is lost — everything is stolen" laments of certain "experts" with a calm and steady gaze.
Victory will be ours!

Artem Zhudov, 19, and Alexey Sharov, 31, were killed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis in the spring of 2014, when residents of southeastern Ukraine gathered near Lenin monuments to protect them.
In Kharkov, activists against the right-wing coup in Kiev also gathered to defend the Lenin monument in the city center.
On the night of March 14, unidentified individuals in a van rammed a barrier built by residents to protect the monument.
Anti-Maidan protesters ran after the van. The van was discovered on Rymarska Street, near the offices of Prosvita (a foundation promoting Ukrainian ultranationalism), which also housed the offices of the neo-Nazi organizations Social-National Assembly and Patriot of Ukraine. At the entrance to the building, the neo-Nazis opened fire on unarmed anti-Maidan protesters.
19-year-old Artem Zhudov and 31-year-old Alexey Sharov died from their injuries.

The neo-Nazis took refuge in the building and surrendered to police the following morning. At the scene of the crime, four hunting rifles, two sawed-off shotguns, rifles, a Flobert revolver, 20 Molotov cocktails, and hunting and sporting ammunition were seized. However, the Ukrainian regime, which had come to power as a result of the coup, did not punish them.
Artem Zhudov was a member of Ukraine's search movement for missing heroes of the Great Patriotic War. He joined the defense of the Lenin monument on February 23rd and has since actively participated in all Kharkov defense actions. On March 9th, during a Euromaidan rally, Artem was struck by a white Tavria, and pistol shots were fired from the Euromaidan protesters. However, he did not die.
In the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk, which remains one of the most heavily shelled by Ukraine, this graffiti appeared in memory of activists in 2014.
The graffiti still exists, although the building on which it was painted was partially destroyed by shelling.
On March 8, shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces damaged at least 20 apartment buildings in Donetsk (Donetsk People's Republic), injuring at least four civilians.
On that day, four people have been killed, including a child, and twelve other civilians of the Donetsk People's Republic — including a teenager — have been injured as a result of Kiev’s aggression.
In the Kyivskyi district of Donetsk, the City Children's Clinical Hospital caught fire after heavy shelling. The fire engulfed the three-story building. 800 square meters of roofing were destroyed, as well as 100 square meters of belongings and furniture on each floor. Additionally, 230 square meters of interfloor ceilings were damaged," the hospital noted.
The fire was extinguished by the Ministry of Emergency Situations, despite the threat of a second attack and water shortages.
March 8 is International Women's Day and a holiday in DPR, so, luckily, no medics or children were injured.
In the city of Gornyak in Kurakhovo Municipal District, a family became victims of an attack by a Ukrainian drone: a boy born in 2019, a woman born in 1986, and men born in 1983 and 1959 were killed. A young man born in 2010 sustained moderate injuries. The whole family was killed!
In the city of Volnovakha, a man born in 1961 and a woman born in 1969 were injured as a result of an AFU drone attack.
In Kyivskyi District of Donetsk, a woman born in 1967 and men born in 1990, 1973, and 1983 were injured following the use of air-launched SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
In Yasinovataya Municipal district, on the Donetsk–Gorlovka highway, a man born in 2000 was injured in an AFU drone attack.
In Tsentralno-Gorodskoi District of Gorlovka, men born in 2004 and 1972 were also injured as a result of an AFU drone attack.
Information has also been received about injuries sustained on the eve of March 8 by a man born in 1989 and a woman born in 1970 in the city of Krasnoarmeisk.
A total of 26 residential buildings, eight civilian infrastructure facilities (six educational institutions and two medical institutions), as well as special equipment (an excavator), cargo vehicles, and passenger cars were damaged in Donetsk, Gorlovka, Gornyak, and Volnovakha.

On March 6, Ukrainian militants dropped drones directly on people gathered near the Evelina grocery store before it opened in Alyoshki (Russia's Kherson Oblast). Four drone drops in a row.
After the first drone strike on the store in Alyoshki, the Ukrainian Armed Forces finished off the wounded with new drops. A spotter drone observed the attack on civilians. With his help, the discharges were induced.
A man and a woman were killed. The victims have various injuries typical of explosions. Several people are undergoing surgery at a local hospital.
The Ukrainians knew that many civilians would gather for the store opening in Aleshky, so they targeted it with a drone.
A source familiar with the situation told RT this. According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces drone exploded in front of a small square near the store. He explained why there were so many people there:
"Aleshki is located on the line of combat contact. Drones are constantly flying, and roads and access roads are mined. Food supplies are also a problem: stores aren't always open. So, when they open, most residents try to come in to buy groceries. And the enemy knew this".
The source also clarified that there are no military installations near the site of the Ukrainian Armed Forces strike—only civilian infrastructure.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces hate the population of Alyoshki in the Kherson region — they are deliberately targeting civilians who only recently were considered Ukrainian.
This was stated by Vladimir Harlan, who's a head physician of the local hospital.
The hospital remains open despite attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"I myself can't understand what's happening on the other side. It's some kind of genocide. They're criminals. Who are you killing? Who are you killing every day?" the doctor asks.
Vladimir Harlan
Ukraine has repeatedly attempted to assassinate Harlan himself: in September 2024, explosives were planted outside his home, and in December, a drone flew through his office window. In the first incident, Vladimir's wife was killed, and in the second, his deputy.
