❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦Vremivka Direction: Tank Raids in Staromaiorske and Fighting in Urozhayne Situation as of the end of May 29, 2024 Russian forces are successfully developing an offensive in the Staromaiorske - Urozhayne area, regaining territories lost a year ago. ▪️In the morning, in Staromaiorske, Russian Armed Forces soldiers from the 218th Tank Regiment and 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment, supported by armored vehicles, broke through the enemy's defenses in the central part of the village in the area of Tsvitocha and Shevchenko streets. 🔻By the end of the day, Russian troops advanced up to half a kilometer along Vyshnevaya Street, taking control of Mira Lane and approaching the northern outskirts of Staromaiorske. At the moment, fighting is ongoing on Molodizhnaya Street, which is the last street in the settlement. The enemy has only one supply route from the direction of Makarivka left: most likely, the AFU will retreat from the remaining controlled part in the next few days under the threat of encirclement. ▪️In the western part of the village, Russian assault groups are advancing along Gogol Lane and the Mokri Yaly River, significantly improving their tactical position. By the end of the day, the Russian Armed Forces advanced another 200 meters east along Zadneprovska Street. At the moment, fighting is taking place on the approaches to Zoriyana Street. 🔻In Urozhayne, assault groups of the 5th Tank Brigade are expanding their control zone on the southern outskirts. By evening, they managed to occupy new positions on the flank west of Sadova Street. The advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Staromaiorske with the subsequent occupation of the northern outskirts of the village opens the way for an offensive on Makarivka. In this regard, the position of the AFU on the southern outskirts of Urozhayne will be significantly complicated, pushing them to a possible retreat to the north.

❗️The Russian Federation is challenging the United States which is attempting to maintain Western hegemony — FM Lavrov 🟩 @RTnews_unc3

A Beautiful Historical Russian Town You’ve Never Heard Of Gorokhovets was founded in the 12th century. It is located in Vladimir oblast and remains a small town by modern standards with a population of around 12,000. In addition to natural beauty, Gorokhovets features several examples of amazing architecture from different periods, including intricate wooden and stone homes some of which belonged to wealthy merchants such as the Shorin House. Only a few dozen of such buildings, especially the ones from the 17th century, remain in Russia. Church domes are striking too: religious architecture includes the 17th-century Sretensky Convent and the Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Monastery. @NinaByzantina
