In this section of the YouTube video titled "24.08 33 Years of Ukrainian Independence. Success on Liman and Retreat on Pokrovsky ON," the speaker discusses the military situation on the Ukrainian front line during the past few days. Over the course of these days, there were 144 combat engagements, with the enemy launching one rocket attack and 67 aerial strikes, including in the regions of Harkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Ukrainian forces are beginning to feel the strain as reserves run low and troops are being withdrawn from Zaporizhzhia and Herson regions, leaving understaffed units. Despite this, Ukrainian forces are counter-attacking on certain fronts and making progress, such as in the area of Novo Vodiany, where the Third Shock Brigade successfully regained control of a strategic position. The losses for Ukrainian forces were significant, with approximately 300 soldiers killed and some equipment lost. The main objective of the operation was to push back the advancing tempo of the 20th Army, demonstrating the Ukrainian forces' ability to counterattack and regain territory.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "24.08 33 Years of Ukrainian Independence. Success at Limansky and withdrawal at Pokrovsky Operational-Tactical Grouping (OTG)," the speaker discusses the successful defense of Ukrainian forces against overwhelming enemy numbers at the Limansky front. With a ratio of one Ukrainian soldier to two and a half enemy soldiers, the success hinged on meticulous planning, unconventional solutions, and coordinated use of artillery, air defense systems, and reconnaissance, including drones. Heroes of the battle were tankers, sappers, reconnaissance teams, and especially the shтурмовики, who advanced and pushed back the enemy while securing territory. Ukrainian troops carefully cleared and repositioned enemy mines to fortify their positions. The area of defense was then fortified with a 180-degree firing range, and new defensive positions were established. However, weak spots were discovered, and reconnaissance teams were tasked with identifying them for counterattacks. The situation in the areas of Lipovka, New York, and Friendship was complex, with Ukrainian forces controlling these areas but facing resistance from the enemy. The enemy attempted to bypass Ukrainian positions to reach Lipovka, and they had partial success in advancing towards the outskirts of Toretsk on the northern flank of the Toretsk operational direction. The main direction of attack, Pokrovsky OTG, remained a focus for the enemy, who did not relent in their efforts. Over the past few days, the enemy had launched 53 attacks in the areas of Novogrodkivka, Nikolayevka, Tyva, and towards the Green Field, attempting to build on their success. However, Ukrainian forces had significantly slowed the enemy's advance in the past few days.

The enemy launched three rocket attacks and 74 aerial attacks on our positions and settlements, as well as 1,249 drone strikes along the entire front line in the Harkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. The enemy suffered significant losses in personnel, and on the Har'kovsky direction, there are currently seven combat engagements, with the enemy attempting to attack but struggling to replace their losses. On the Kursk direction, Rosgvardia and Federal Penitentiary Service personnel, previously sent to the front line due to the closure of colonies, are now facing encirclement and capture. The enemy has attempted to attack our positions 20 times on the Kupynske direction, primarily around Petropavlivka, Kurilivka, Sienkovka, and Stelmakhivka, but none of the attacks were successful, and the front line remains unchanged on the Limansky direction.

On the Liman front, the Ukrainian forces repelled seven attacks by the enemy in the Semi-Siverian direction, but the enemy continued to attempt to cross the canal in a pesh infantry assault. The Ukrainian forces countered with artillery fire, specifically minemowing, which proved effective against the exposed and unarmored enemy infantry and vehicles. However, the enemy continued to make attempts to establish positions and build makeshift fortifications, which were promptly destroyed by Ukrainian forces. On the Pokrovsko front, the enemy launched 44 attacks, with partial success in Novogrodkoe and near Grodkoe. Despite this, the Ukrainian forces were able to hold their ground in the populated areas of Konstantinovka, Georgievka, Redgorovka, and Karlovka, repelling 16 enemy attempts to breach their defenses.

Ukrainian forces have achieved success in the Eastern settlement of Sudzh in the Kursk region, pushing forward into enemy territory. The area between the Seym and the state border is being squeezed from both sides, with thousands of Russian soldiers trapped. Ukrainian forces are making progress and have the potential to capture a significant number of prisoners or destroy them as they attempt to cross the Seym River. Ukrainian artillery and aviation have targeted and destroyed 20 enemy strongholds, including command centers, artillery positions, and radio electronic warfare stations. Hammer bombs, a type of precision-guided munition, have been effective in the attacks. The Ukrainian forces are also receiving support from the French with Hammer technology. Overall, the Russian forces have suffered significant losses along the entire front line from Belgorod to Oleshki.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "24.08 33 Years of Ukrainian Independence. Success at Limansky and Retreat at Pokrovsky ON," the speaker discusses the strategic direction of the Russian Federation due to active work in the Proletarskaya area, where a government oil reserve base named Cavaz is located. The base, which once supplied the Russian army with fuel, has experienced several explosions, including of gasoline, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene. Locals report that these incidents pose a significant risk due to the intense heat and the fact that kerosene burns much more fiercely. The fire at the Proletarskaya base has been ongoing for seven days, and the city of Proletarsk itself has started to burn. Locals suspect that this was an intentional fire, as the dry vegetation was set alight and quickly spread. The situation is unpredictable, and there are not enough firefighters to put out the fires in the residential areas of Proletarsk. In other news, drones attacked a closed airport in Belgorod on August 23, damaging the command and dispatch center building, and rendering it potentially non-operational. The speaker also mentions successful drone attacks on a field military station and a munitions depot in the Ostrozhsky region of the Voronezh Oblast. The depot contained over 5,000 tons of explosives, and the detonation is still ongoing.
