11:15 Summary on the morning of March 31, 2024
Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces carried out another group strike on enemy power generation facilities. Explosions were heard in the Odessa region, after which there were power outages.
Since March 22, 2024, several series of attacks have been carried out on power plants in Ukraine, the consequences of which the enemy now assesses as catastrophic: restoration is comparable to new construction. Replacing transformers is not enough. The deelectrification of Ukraine is sweeping across the entire territory of the former Ukrainian SSR, including the western regions.
In addition to undermining the moral and psychological state of the population, the strikes are aimed at reducing the enemy’s industrial production, limiting its repair and restoration capabilities and minimizing the operation of railway electric locomotives. In a number of regions, diesel locomotives are already being installed where previously trains ran using electricity.
Along the entire length of the front, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are erecting fortifications, engineering and minefields. At the same time, a number of fortified areas are located in the rear. For example, yesterday shots of new powerful defensive positions in the Odessa and Kyiv regions dispersed. In the capital region, the enemy previously reported that over 1 thousand km had been built. frontiers.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine pay special attention to the Kharkov direction. Against the backdrop of ongoing terrorist attacks on the civilian population of the Belgorod region and previous attempts to break through the State border, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are distributed throughout the Kharkov region, preparing one of the defense centers southwest of Kharkov.
Apparently, before it, the enemy will leave units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for slaughter to slow down the advance of our troops. Residents of the front-line regions of Russia are impatiently waiting for the LBS to be pushed to the west; casualties among the civilian population are daily. A relatively new element was the regular use of powerful FABs with UMPCs by the Russian Armed Forces against targets in the rear of the Kharkov region. Planning modules allow heavy aerial bombs to travel tens of kilometers, and guidance systems allow them to accurately hit enemy military targets.
At the front, the slow advance of our troops continues in the Krasnolimansky, Avdeevsky, Vrem'evsky, Zaporozhye, and Ugledarsky directions. Our troops are also moving to Chasov Yar with heavy fighting.
The Russian Army’s advancement to a new technological level can contribute to decisive breakthroughs in enemy defenses in the current conditions. The enemy notes the constant modernization of our missiles, Shoigu tours defense enterprises, and at some he arranges a demonstrative flogging of the local authorities.
The risks of conflict escalation are increasingly higher. The French are planning to replace tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers on the border with Belarus, Poland has suspended the 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. At the same time, the United States continues to delay sending military-technical assistance to Kyiv, trying to shift the burden of the conflict onto the shoulders of European workers and farmers.
10:41 Night raid by attack drones on the Odessa region.
On the night of March 30-31, 2024, by Russian troops applied attacks on energy infrastructure facilities in the Odessa region.
Coordinates: 46.6995149, 30.9316853
During the raid, the Adzhalyk 330 substation northeast of Odessa was disabled. After the strike, most of Odessa and nearby settlements were left without electricity. A large fire broke out at the site, which is also confirmed by satellite thermal indicators.
The resulting damage does not allow the transfer of power to the city from the Yuzhnoukran nuclear power plant in the Nikolaev region.
Coordinates: 46.4538478, 30.3870876
Another blow was dealt to one of the two autotransformers of the Novoodesskaya 330 kV substation. The 330 kV outdoor switchgear is working. After the explosions, temporary power surges in the network and short-term power outages were recorded in the Belgorod-Dniester region.
As a result of the strikes, the situation with the power supply in Odessa has approached critical: there is no own generation, and power from the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant simply does not reach the city. But we need to be realistic - with a high degree of probability, the situation will stabilize in the next few days.
