Who is this guy? I went to his Telegram and he claims to be a volunteer journalist reporting from the front lines?
He's reporting an awful lot of troop movements that the others aren't. DeepState UA shows no update in this area.
So, is this guy just way better connected than ISW and DeepState? Is he compromising opsec? Or, is this incorrect?
Also, comments on his telegram as suspect af.
They claim his comments have been restricted. And that "he's the only one telling the truth".
I'm calling shenanigans here.
Edit: I might be wrong on coords. OP responded below.
The coordinates for this village are 42.2811, 35.5240. No official update there in weeks. I went all the way to 06/20, no change.
Here's the report from DeepState as of this morning:
at the front as of the end of the day on July 17, 2023
▶️ Belomoskov, Siver and Belgorod shades — without changes .
▶️ The matchmaker's touch - the Katsapas have success south of Masyutivka and continue the pressure in the direction of Kupyansk. The enemy continues its assault on Novoselivske. As a result of heavy fighting to the west of Karmazynivka, the enemy had a landing-bridge, in addition, the situation in this area needs additional clarification. It is traditionally difficult in the Serebryan Forest, near Torsky, the enemy is concentrating reserves for further assaults.
▶️ Bakhmut shade - fighting continues on the outskirts of Klishchiivka and near Orihovo-Vasylivka. The Defense Forces have partial success. South of Bakhmut, our artillery continues to make progress.
▶️ The Avdiiv shade is unchanged. Katsaps actively tried to advance a few days ago, the situation is being clarified.
▶️ Berdyansk direction — the LBZ near Priyutny and Malynyvka has been clarified.
▶️ Zaporizhzhya shade — the LBZ in Kamiansk has been clarified.
▶️ Taurian shade - no changes.
🗂 Analytical note. Indeed, a very difficult situation is observed in the Svativ region. Since the beginning of the year, Katsap has increased the number of personnel to more than 110,000 ril. In recent months, we have been surprised by this relative simplicity of human resources, which were obviously saved for the summer campaign. Near Masyutivka, the pods have a lot of artillery and an unlimited number of prisoners of war, who wear out our defenders before the attack of the enemy special forces. The situation near the village is extremely unpleasant, because it is starting to resemble Serebryansk Forestry. We hope that all the mistakes made there in May will be taken into account and appropriate decisions will be made to settle the situation, because the price is only one - human lives.
Also what's the legend?
