July 1 junta naturally violated truce with the Americans guarantee that Russia will not directly intervene, launched an offensive to destroy the New Russia. Work "PX" in June was not widely appreciated that later played a fatal role for the junta.
launched an offensive to the junta successfully developed - having overwhelming superiority in armor, artillery, infantry and aviation over the host, the junta instead of direct frontal attacks on key points, the beginning they wrap around, striking at those areas where the militia because of a lack of forces could not create a proper density of troops. For example - against available Slovyansk besides captured in the spring of 6 BMD (including the famous "Nona"), 3 tanks, BMP 5 and 3 armored vehicles, as well as 3 pieces of artillery, the enemy concentrated more than 100 tanks and 300 other broneedinits more 80 artillery systems, including the "Tornadoes" and "Hurricanes", which is in July, have been widely used on the front. In the battle on July 2-4 Slovyansk, where the most capable forces Novorossia proved operationally bag. The last major road was blocked in the Slavonic, the remains of the garrison Nikolayevka (during the fighting, militia commander 2 committed actual treason, revealing Front) led by Motorola, barely caught in the center of the village, which was surrounded and virtually cut off from the Slavic. In battles for Mykolaivka, which decided the fate of Sloviansk besides betrayal took place and the kind of sabotage when set "PX" ATGM, at a crucial time not worked (defective was the whole batch of more than 30 pieces - these ATGM thrown into Slavic and then showed them the junta as trophies), which led to large losses militia under tank attack junta snapped Nikolaevka. Actually in the past, there have been cases systematically proceeds to the front of defective ammunition, anti-tank and anti-aircraft faulty equipment. And it's not the trophies from the battlefield or Ukrainian military units, and primarily supplies through the "PX". Whether it was the negligence or deliberate sabotage of a rhetorical question. Ultimately, the set of objective factors did drop Slav question time. And in Kiev and Donetsk, and in Moscow there were forces that were waiting for the projected final "Slavic epic" - the heroic death of small arms and parts thereof in Slavic boiler, and then could easily finish the New Russia. In Donetsk, one for the defense was not prepared, in fact - negotiated the surrender of the city (among the participants - the mayor of Donetsk Lukyanchenko, the police chief Pozhidaev Minister GB Khodakovsky DNI), which was attended by some leaders of the DNI and the representatives of the authorities so then (and in fact the beginning of July DNI existed for about 3 months) to obey fascist hunte.Na south to the border of southern group starts to move troops from the north of the Lugansk region Izvarino also is hit. The goal is simple - to surround and destroy Slovyansk squad rifle and at the same time on a converging path to build a giant "canna" for the whole of New Russia, cutting it off from Russia and thus cut off the channels of supply. In general, in the evening on July 4, after only 4 days after the start of the offensive junta New Russia was on the boundary of disaster. following is known Strelkova maneuver that leaves Slovyansk and Kramators'k and goes to Donetsk. Along the left Druzhkivka, Constantinovka, Semenivka. Due to the rear are not captured Soledar and force the junta in Artemovsk, no opportunities to create an intermediate position between Donetsk and Slavonic in Strelkova was not. With much less effort, it would still have been swept from the flank and threatened to guess a new boiler between Artem and Donetsk. Donetsk accelerates local plot to surrender the city. Lukyanchenko runs from Donetsk Kiev, runs Pozhidaev, local police subordinate Kiev finally disarmed, Khodakovsky takes the post of Minister GB DNR. Hysterical trip to Donetsk Kurginyan and subsequent hysterical same information attack on small, finally revealed the fact of secret negotiations of the Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs and attempts to pass Donetsk junta. Soon out and Pushilin apparently associated with the case of a conspiracy. However, to completely suppress the fifth column in Donetsk failed, because the arrow was afraid to get a mini-war in the Donetsk between militia forces, so some figures of the plot escaped deserved punishment. From Moscow to control the process in the DNI was sent by General GB Antyufeev, which on the one hand smoothed out the consequences of the conspiracy, but on the other hand, began to arrange his men podgotovlivaya ground for political decisions favorable Moscow. For the same reasons, and has not developed a unified command - created with Strelkova coordinating structure, was able to provide only basic coordination, in general warlords pursue an independent policy. People like Kozitsyna, have not been reduced to a common denominator. Only then, Donetsk begins in earnest to prepare for defense, and the fact that he has not yet been taken (and in fact then a different kind of fifth column attendants Kurginyan yelled that the arrow passed slavyansk, surrender and Donetsk), in fact Gunmen then saved Donetsk and Donetsk National Republic. Nevertheless, the situation continued to worsen, the junta's troops following the retreating archery, reached the approaches to Donetsk, where stuck in the battle for the small towns. Was released Donetsk Airport - the attack was so strong that the militia had lost all Northwest checkpoints and kick junta pressed the DNR infantry into the city, an immediate breakthrough of the enemy in the city was prevented by the introduction of the battle of the last reserve - mechanized group "Hold" from several tanks and " castles ", while there is a serious risk that the increasing pressure, the defense could not stand and fall apart. Nevertheless, he was able to survive the crisis of the militia. Himself Donetsk from mid-July was subject to systematic shelling, which continue to this day. junta launched an offensive in the direction Debalcevo, threatened helpful Lisichanskiy projection Bezlera group was forced to retreat and set aside Dzerzhinsk directly to Gorlovka. In the fighting in mid-July was wounded deputy Rifle with a call sign "Prapor." While the junta has been linked battles on the outskirts of Donetsk for Karlivka, Sands, Avdiyivka and other settlements, shooters use this opportunity to take some of the forces under the Donetsk and tries with less compete for initsitivu using a favorable situation developed at Saur-Graves to cut a narrow corridor that ran from Amvrosiivka through marinating to Dmitrijevka and Deakovo, going further north to Izvarino, which was torn southern group. unfold fighting near tanneries and marinating in order to cut off the whole of South grouping. Only full adventurism Command South Groupings, advancing along the border with open wing militia provided so favorable vozmozhgnost that helped change the course of the war. July 17 situation exacerbates the fall of the Malaysian "Boeing". This story was obviously aimed at discrediting Russia and force her to stop military support of New Russia. "Boeing" was shot down by Ukrainian Su-25 R-60 missiles. Which was followed by a very clumsy attempt to blame it on the militias, and then Russia. Because of low kompetenetsii performers to do so failed, moreover, further raising of the topic more precisely junta fielded only responsible party. Therefore, the history of "Boeing" launched the "simmer" in Ukrainian and foreign media. In general, repeat the situation ala "South Korean Boeing in 1983," it was not possible. However, even the failed provocation ultimately did not prevent Russia announce something like a mixture of the Ebola virus and LIH. Offensive junta under Lugansk and Izvarino due to lack of strength, quickly stalled. Before the assault Lugansk, it never came, the attack on Izvarino failed. Panzer roll Lugansk airport via Alexandrovka allowed to drive to the airport strong armored group, but in the course of further fighting the junta was forced to leave the hall and knocked the airport was back in the pot. Front north of Lugansk started to get all the signs of positional. However, coupled with the failure under Lugansk, Donetsk junta bypassing the west could reach Lutugino intercept and track key (before it has been cut in Debalcevo). As a result, the supply of Donetsk hangs on a narrow thread-Izvarino Krasnodon-Thorez-Donetsk. July 22 to us from the border has been informed that due to the difficult situation in front of the outdoor preparing the deployment of Russian troops, the group of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine after discharge in late spring-early summer, once again rose to the April sizes. This was due to the fact that the onset of developing a Sloviansk, the junta tried to cut Lisichanskiy ledge while to strike involved forces released after failing to advance to Lugansk. The attack on the Rubezhnoye, Lisicansk and Syeverodonets'k junta led with overwhelming superiority in men and materiel. Shooters orders the Mozgovoi the abandonment of the projection (by the time Brain has worked in small due to a conflict with Bolotov and general anarchy of military structures) in order to avoid threats to the environment - despite the dissatisfaction of the decision, the order is executed - the militia departs, leaving Lisicansk, Popasnaya Severodonetsk and Rubezhnoye. Just July 22 unsuccessful attack on the tannery - militia captured marinating, but under the tannery met with Polish mercenaries and lost 2 tanks and infantry are quite a few setbacks, the wounded commander of the "Hold" Zaharchenko. According to our information, the input planned to carry out within 3 days in response to uhudushayuschuyusya situation. Was written and prepared text that our center supports the entry of peacekeepers to stop the killing of civilians in the Donbass, at the same time, talks about the purchase for upcoming events through our Centre of thousands of tons of fuel. However, the decision to open the input was not accepted and the willingness №1 was canceled. At the same time, the flywheel "PX" during July and soon grew junta fully felt his job. Trapped in the boiler after the fighting forces under Marinovka junta, "suddenly" began to bear huge losses from a massive fire MLRS and artillery batteries, There are of course not only disarmed military units (trophies in this class and in such amounts was not there). Loudest alarm sounded at Zelenopole when the "city" field camp was raided one of the teams stuck in South Kotle.Te picture viewed very unusual for that time (tens sozhennyh vehicles, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, dozens of corpses), soon became terrible commonplace. First "workers PX" or as they are referred to as "vacationers" (recently their presence openly acknowledged chief of military intelligence, General Petrovsky DNI) in the hinterland of New Russia appeared in July, not in August, as is commonly believed. In June, "vacationers" can be found on the "zero" or near the border. Itself "nulevka" became a convenient base for the application of sudden shocks to the troops of the junta, who could not find an antidote to such tactics, and eventually began to think over the idea related to the fact that the border must pass in order not to be subjected to systematic impact artillery and MLRS with all parties. In this regard, Russia's line in the final came down to the abandonment of an open confrontation with the United States (a repeated refusal of entry oktrytogo troops and negotiations with the Ukrainian oligarchy on the one hand and at the same time support the force of the uprising in the Donbas, which in July provided "Voentorg"). American "Voentorg" in this period worked to put it mildly weak, strengthen the work in August suggests that complacency times in July will not be repeated. In general, both "PX" in its submission to solve their problems on vooyusche territories of the Russian and American foreign policy. Since all supply lines were closed in the marinating and the position on the Saur-Tomb, South Grouping unable to break through to Izvarino began to suffer excruciatingly from a lack of fuel and ammunition. In the boiler were 3 full brigade - 24th Ombre Ombre 72th and 79th Airborne, units of other brigades, plus part of the gain. In total more than 6000 people and more than 200 armored vehicles. Nabolee suffered from the fire of the 72th Ombre. In parts was growing demoralization, the cases of surrender and escape to Russia. With the submission of Russia, who took part in these negotiations (at the level of generals Border Service), the junta put forward simple terms - a technique to take militia and move across the Russian border, giving soldiers the right to choose - to serve Ukraine or stay in Russia. Ultimately, having a greater strength than those that surrounded them, the junta troops stopped and stood on the defensive, which is gradually becoming a focal. Against the background of the devastating criticism incompetent command of their own troops, the junta relied that surrounded parts can at least perform the function of border control. It was another catastrophic mistake. Boiler began to disintegrate, and formed Izvarinsky Dkovsky boilers. Operation junta began to rapidly lose shape and the junta moved to a series of convulsive blows where for that still had some power. Himself a strategic plan to make the whole control of the border suffered a complete collapse. The onset of the main forces have taken Slovyansk and Kramators'k, just did not bring decisive results. Near Donetsk junta was involved in a grueling battle in the suburban communities, offensive in the Popasnaya eventually petered out in the streets of May Day, and departed to Stakhanov Alchevsk group Brain formed a tight defense, the junta did not break smogla.V general, we can say that the general objectives of the offensive began on July 1 achieved during the month was not. The reasons for this - a competent command Strelkova saved the army, the desperate resistance of the best units of the militia and of course the work of PX in all its senses. During this time, the army of New Russia has grown significantly in size, acquired technology (mostly captured), and even learned to restrain rather serious attack junta. The total balance of forces gradually began to decline in favor of the militia. Guerrilla battalions and units, gradually learned to be an army. In conditions of severe war - had to learn directly in the fighting. Trying to reverse the situation was made in early August, when the junta refused to abmitsioznyh goals try to stay combat-ready forces to resolve the issues of cutting DNR LC and interception of communications between Lugansk and Russia. All this led to a series of violent and krovoprolitinyh fights, that was in the final decisions - to be or not to be Novorossia. C
