electronic warfare stations, and a RADA counter-battery station.

Two ammunition depots and
eight supply depots were destroyed.
Units of the Voizapov group have taken up more

Five ammunition depots were destroyed. Units of the Southern Group of Forces
liberated the village of Kolenniki.
The enemy lost over 200 servicemen, a combat
armored vehicle, an M113 armored personnel carrier, 10 vehicles,
and four field artillery pieces.

Two ammunition depots and
six supply depots were destroyed.
Units of the Voit-Center group occupied more
advantageous lines and positions.
Ukrainian armed forces suffered losses of over
280 servicemen, two combat armored vehicles,
10 vehicles, two field artillery pieces,
and three electronic warfare stations.
Units of the Vostok group of forces continued
advancing deep into the enemy's defenses.

The SDU lost up to 255
servicemen, an combat armored vehicle, 12 vehicles, and three field artillery pieces. Units of the Dnipro Forces Group
improved their tactical situation.
Up to 65 servicemen, 12 vehicles, ECM stations, and two supply depots were destroyed.
Tactical aviation, attack drones and
aircraft, missile forces, and artillery struck energy and transport infrastructure facilities
of Ukraine used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed
formations and foreign mercenaries in 149 districts.
Air defense systems shot down 7 guided bombs and 421 UAVs.

In the Slavyansk direction, throughout February
and the first half of March, Russian troops
cleared strongholds near Reznikovka.
By March 8, they had finally cleared
the pocket near the village and pushed the enemy back from the high ground near Krivaya Luka. Meanwhile, assault aircraft continued to advance rapidly
on the southern flank near the M-03 highway.
The fighters liberated Nikiforovka and also entered the territory of
Lipovka, Debrova, and Fedorovka 2, preparing to attack Rayaleksandrovka from the south.

Simultaneously, Russian troops advanced along the southwestern roads, occupying new strongholds.
At the end of February, our units liberated
Menkovka, then consolidated their positions on the outskirts of
Golubovka and engaged in fighting for Privolye.
Currently, Russian assault groups are defending
the last major defensive points in the Lipovka area.
Taking the forested area located here will allow
our fighters to amass troops close to
the borders of Rayaleksandrovka and soon
engage in fighting for its outskirts. Thus, Russian armed forces units will be able to begin an assault on positions at the last enemy-controlled major road junction east of the Seversky Donetsk-Donbas Canal.

In the eastern Zaporizhia area, Ukrainian forces continue their attack with the aim of dislodging our troops from the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Despite this, Russian units are advancing in the Zaporizhia region.
Footage has surfaced online of an armored personnel carrier being hit by a Lancet UAV strike in Otradnoye.
The enemy drove right through it during the first days of the offensive in early February.

Russian attack aircraft then operated there.
Given the thermal imaging footage, it is difficult to assess the relevance of the new footage, so it is too early to talk about a transfer of control over Otradnoye.

The enemy is attempting to infiltrate in the north, along a fairly wide stretch from Andreevka to Bolshemykhailivka. In the western sector, beyond the Gaichur River,
Russian units continue to attack, advancing along the Tsvetkova Gorkaya line, and recently engaged in fighting for the outskirts of the village of Verkhnyaya Tersa.

The neighboring Vozdvizhivka is already being bypassed
from the direction of Rozhdestvenskoye.
And there are reports of attacks by Russian
attack aircraft towards Lyubinske or Snova.
If this is successful, Vozdvizhivka will be
under semi-encirclement, which will facilitate the further advance of Russian armed
forces in the Zaporizhia Oblast.
Lieutenant Colonel Tishkovets, I have completed my report.
Sign up, our cause is just, the frag will be
destroyed, victory will be ours. I have the honor.


Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Yevgeny Tishkovets reports.
