Yuri Podolyaka's Front Report Oct 12th 2022.

Two days of Russian strikes have brought Ukraine to the brink of energy collapse, forcing the Kiev regime to discharge the reservoirs to power hydro-plants, in order to prevent the rolling black-outs. And the reservoirs weren’t nearly full after a dry summer, but the water is being spent anyway. Today, the intensity of strikes diminished for some reason.

Yuri considers that the enemy is preparing a large-scale attack in Zaporozhye direction, while maintaining a distraction activity elsewhere. The attacks there have been repelled with significant losses for the enemy, but they didn’t seem like a serious attempt of an offensive. The Russian command is well-aware of the danger in Zaporozhye. It is not clear whether the enemy takes the risk of attacking there, with the autumn rains already beginning.

Russian attacks in Bakhmut and Pervomayskoye continue. The enemy counterattacks in Bakhmut trying to dislodge the Russians from the neighborhoods taken yesterday, unsuccessfully so far.
