18:30 What is known about the situation in Kleshcheevka at the moment: analysis Military chronicle:
Active battles for the village have been going on for a long time, and the situation in this area is constantly changing. The fighting for the village went parallel to the assault on Artyomovsk and continues to this day.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area are making attempts to push through the defenses of the Russian Armed Forces and regain the positions lost last spring, but it is currently impossible to do this with the forces that the Ukrainian army had left after the loss of Artyomovsk. An attempt to break through a corridor to Kleshcheevka in parallel with the beginning of the offensive in Zaporozhye also led to nothing.
Ukrainian troops in this area operate in a limited area - approximately 10 square kms - however, we are not talking about full control of this territory: in this area the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to move people and military equipment, which is under constant fire from the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces.
The main problem in this area is the terrain. Due to the strong altitude difference, Ukrainian troops are forced to first climb the mountain and then descend to the low-lying village. In case of retreat, this maneuver has to be done again, which is a very difficult task for a unit with wounded and without military equipment and leads to additional losses.
According to the Military Chronicle, the Ukrainian Armed Forces sent approximately two companies - about 200 people - to storm the village. After battles and artillery attack from the artillery of the Russian Armed Forces, Ukrainian troops lost half of the assault groups: at the moment there are from 50 to 75 people in the southwestern part of Kleshcheevka.
There is no talk of fully holding the village, since the entire Kleshcheevka was destroyed and there were no entire buildings left in the village; it is difficult to organize a full-fledged line of defense in this area. In addition, reports about the withdrawal of Russian troops from the village are not confirmed - units of the Russian Armed Forces are in pre-prepared positions in the northern part of Kleshcheevka.
Russian artillery and aviation continue to attack the Armed Forces of Ukraine; the transfer of Ukrainian reinforcements, not to mention the development of an attack, is currently impossible.
18:11 Kherson direction: landings in the island zone of the Dnieper. Situation as of 18.00 September 19, 2023
Despite statements from various resources about attempts to gain a foothold on the left bank, the enemy actually controls a small bridgehead in the island zone of the Dnieper.
Several sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the 131st reconnaissance battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were transferred to Kozatsky Island - now the northern part of the island is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Mortar crews cover the forward detachments with fire. At the same time, at night, Ukrainian formations tried to rotate. From Ol'govka the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces wanted to send the DRG by boat, but it was destroyed by artillery.
Similarly, assault troops from the Normandy tactical group landed on the left bank of the Dnieper north of Podstepnoye, where they began setting up observation posts.
There are no signs of preparation for an offensive at the moment; Ukrainian formations are conducting reconnaissance, simultaneously artillery attack the forward lines of the Russian Armed Forces with artillery and mortars.
However, a large concentration of manpower was noticed in Davydov Brod, and a large column of military equipment, including light armored ones, arrived from Krivoy Rog to Snigirevka. The choice of mobile vehicles is not accidental in the context of a possible operation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the left bank of the Dnieper.
Small armored fighting vehicles will be able to move on soft ground. And in the vicinity of Kherson, pontoon-bridge units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been operating for a long time, so the Ukrainian formations are preparing a bridgehead and waiting for the most convenient moment to strike.
18:00 Zaporozhye Front, Verbovoye, Front Bird reports:

15:29 Vrem'evsky section: retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Novomayorsky and strikes by the Russian Armed Forces. Situation as of 15.00 September 19, 2023
At the Vrem'evsky sector, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to regroup and rotate personnel to resume the assault on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces.
Russian troops are actively striking enemy strongholds and other identified targets: concentrations of personnel of the 37th and 38th Ukrainian Naval Infantry Brigades were hit in Shakhtersk and Novoukrainka. During the counterbattery battle near Makarovka, the 122mm D-30 howitzer and the Polish Krab self-propelled guns were destroyed.
At the same time, information is being received about the retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the northwestern outskirts of Novomayorsky. For several weeks they tried to cling to the development of the settlement, but the soldiers of the 40th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade remained stable in defense and repelled all attacks.
Also in the forest belt west of Staromayorsky, forces of the 253rd battalion of the 129th TRO brigade, transferred from the direction of Makarovka, were seen.

13:35 Soledar direction: concentration of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the flanks of Bakhmut. Situation as of 13.00 September 19, 2023:
While the main attention of all media has shifted to the zone of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, heavy fighting continues in several areas near Bakhmut. Despite the statements of some Ukrainian sources about the capture of the village of Kleshcheevka, as well as the complete destruction of several brigades of the Russian Armed Forces, including the 72nd Motorized Rifle Brigade, in reality this is not the case.
Fighting in the village continues, and most of it is in the gray zone. Yesterday, two assault groups of the 28th Mechanized Brigade again attacked the positions, trying to break through to the railway, but to no avail.
At the same time, a concentration of new assault units is noted west of Kleshcheevka, as well as south of Andreevka. Three detachments of the 3rd Assault Brigade have taken up positions and are preparing for a new attack.
Similar preparations are observed in the north near the Berkhovskoye reservoir. The other day, tank units of the 17th Brigade arrived in Bogdanovka, which had been being re-equipped for several months.
Judging by the simultaneous activation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the offensive on the flanks of Bakhmut will be coordinated in time, and the goal is to cover the city from both sides and cut off the supply routes of the Russian Armed Forces group in order to force them to resign.
13:27 The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a massive attack on the village of Kairo in the Kherson region - one person was killed, nine were injured. This was reported by the regional government.

The former administration building on Pedenko Street was destroyed, and garages on Fruktovaya Street were destroyed. There were no reports of casualties.
11:31 Orekhovsky section situation as of 11.00 September 19, 2023:
In the Orekhovsky sector, fighting continues at Verbovoy. The intensity of enemy attacks has decreased, but in the coming days the offensive will resume with renewed vigor as part of Zelensky’s visit to the United States.
Now reserves are being moved to the front line to conduct a new assault. To the west of Verbovoy, units of the 71st ebr arrived to make up for losses, and in the area of Chubenkova Balka three combined groups of the 82nd Airborne Brigade and 46th Brigade are on standby.
The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are growing. Because of this, an unidentified connection was transferred from the Sumy region. In addition, another assault battalion took up positions in Veselyanka. Also northeast of Novopokrovka, the appearance of the 12th separate tank battalion was noted.

11:17 Situation in the South Donetsk direction:
In the Vrem'evsky sector, the enemy completed the withdrawal of units from the northwestern outskirts of Novomayorsky; our artillery made this process a little more exciting for him. Otherwise, the Novomayorskoye-Novodonetskoye section is still quiet. If the Ukrainian Armed Forces are planning to try to rush in this direction one more time, then we should expect an intensification of artillery attack on its part; in the last two days it has practically disappeared.
This is indirectly evidenced by the arrival of enemy reserves in the western regions of the Donetsk region. He can use them both here and for attempts to break into the defensive line of Priyutnoye-Zavetnye Zhelaniye-Staromlynovka.
In the Staromayorsky area, the appearance of not only the 127th Brigade, but also their colleagues from the 129th Brigade was noted. We associate this with an attempt to replace the 1st rifle battalion of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which, in attempts to push our units back from the southwestern border of the village, also lost its combat capability.

[Regnum] EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell does not see the possibility of reaching agreements with Russia on a grain deal. The head of European diplomacy announced this on September 19 at a press conference in New York.
Borrell announced the impossibility of resuming the grain deal
“Frankly, I don’t think it’s a question of conditions or the lifting of any restrictions or sanctions,” Borrell explained.
According to him, Western sanctions do not affect the export of food and fertilizers.
Borrell added that he is sincerely convinced that there is no possibility of reaching an agreement with Russia, since, according to him, Moscow does not want to continue the deal. He also urged not to look for excuses and “false arguments” in this matter.
As Regnum reported , the grain deal between Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN was valid from July 22, 2022. Moscow has repeatedly stated that there are no grounds for further extension of the deal, since none of the promises made by Russia at the conclusion of the agreement were ever fulfilled, and Kiev used sea corridors to prepare terrorist attacks. On July 17, the Kremlin announced the suspension of Russia's participation in the grain deal.
At the end of August, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent a letter to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with “concrete proposals” for renewing the grain deal. The Russian Foreign Ministry, in turn, said that the last four UN proposals on the grain deal do not contain anything new.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on September 10 that Russia should not be excluded from grain agreements due to the risk of rising tensions. He also called on G20 leaders to meet Russia's demands to resume the grain deal. Erdogan proposed facilitating the insurance of Russian exports of food and fertilizers by Lloyd's of London, as well as reconnecting Russia to the SWIFT system for making international payments.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said on September 12 that the grain deal is currently “on hold.”
In turn, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said that it is time for the United States to stop spreading empty insinuations and move on to actually removing barriers to resuming the grain deal.
Ukraine’s filing of a lawsuit against Slovakia with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over a ban on the export of Ukrainian grain was the height of Kiev’s arrogance and confirms the failure of this country as a partner, ex-Prime Minister of Slovakia, head of the opposition party Smer Robert Fico said on September 19.
“Ukraine’s complaint against Slovakia for the ban on the export of agricultural products is the height of arrogance and another confirmation of what a frivolous partner Ukraine really is,” he wrote on Facebook (owned by the Meta company, which is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).
He added that under the current government, Slovakia lost its independence and emptied its warehouses, supplying Ukraine at its first request. Now Kyiv has shown “gratitude” to Bratislava, the politician noted.
As Regnum reported, the Minister of Agriculture of Slovakia, Josef Bires , said on September 18 that Bratislava is ready to defend the ban on the import of grain from Ukraine in the WTO. He emphasized that the republic’s authorities will seek control over Ukrainian imports.
Kiev also filed similar lawsuits against Poland and Hungary after the European Commission did not extend the embargo on Ukrainian grain supplies to the EU on September 15, and Bratislava, Warsaw and Budapest introduced their own restrictions. Bulgaria also initially advocated restricting the import of cheap Ukrainian grain, but lifted the ban on September 14.

[Regnum] Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on September 19 that the United States did not contact Russia regarding contacts at the UN General Assembly in New York and was busy with other issues.
“The Joe Biden administration is more concerned with PR from the UN rostrum of Ukrainian politics and the head of the regime in Kiev, Vladimir Zelensky, with an eye on the upcoming elections in the United States next year,” he told TASS.
Ryabkov also noted that the schedule of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov ’s visit to New York is busy and does not involve contact with the American side. The Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized that there were no requests on this topic either. A day earlier, Russia’s permanent representative to the organization, Vasily Nebenzya, said that the United States did not make proposals to hold bilateral meetings at the UNGA session.
As Regnum reported, the week of the high-level session of the UN General Assembly will be held in New York from September 18 to 26. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the composition of the Russian delegation at the 78th session of the General Assembly, which will be headed by Lavrov. The composition also included Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin , head of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin , Permanent Representative of Russia Nebenzya and head of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky.
Lavrov will speak during the general political discussion of the General Assembly and hold a number of meetings. As stated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegation will promote a range of initiatives on key international topics.
Ryabkov said on September 7 that some members of the Russian delegation did not receive American visas. He called on the US authorities not to repeat the case when visas were not issued or detained to Russian journalists traveling with Lavrov to cover events. He later clarified that the United States had made it extremely difficult to issue visas, delaying the process until the last moment. Hmmmm? Something about an American journalist detained in Russia?
