00:23 – July 16, 2014 – Briefing from Igor Strelkov
Enormous columns of retreating Ukie forces are withdrawing across the dam in the area of Kozhevnya (south of Dmitrievka). They are attempting to escape the “cauldron.” There are tanks, SAU-Nonas, refueling trucks, transport columns – all mixed-up. This is bad. But, I hope, not all of them will have the chance to escape. Note: Kozhevnya is a settlement in the Shakhtersk region of DPR, 8 kilometres from the border with Russia.
02:42 – July 16, 2014 – Briefings from the Militia
Junta has finally lost all initiative across the entire military theatre. The complete routing of the southern cauldron is almost fait accompli. The defeat of the punitive forces near Lugansk is obvious to everyone. Accordingly, in the nearest days we can expect a sweep of the southern border and attempts to complete the sweep of the Lugansk and the Donetsk airports. After all the trophies are put to use [by the Militia], the forces of the Militia and the punitive army will, at the very least, become equal (over the last two days, our heavy armour forces have been “replenished” to the tune of dozens of units), which will enable us to commence wide scale offensive operations.
Over the last several days we have been receiving information that the Junta forces are hurriedly reinforcing checkpoints in the Zaporozhia (in Berdyansk, Ukies are creating fortifications by digging in armoured vehicles) and in the Kharkov regions. Probably for a good reason.
03:11 – July 16, 2014 – Briefing from Igor Strelkov
The march of the enemy is being accompanied. Not all of them will reach their coveted base near Amvrosievka. Not that it is any better around the base itself, anymore. A lot of explositions.
Great: it sounds pretty good. I was eager to hear something like that.
If Ukies conscripts enter in panic mode as it seems to be, referring to the interview of 2 soldiers a few days ago about encircling, it will be devastating.
I guess there is a beginning of smile behind the mustache of colonel Strelkov.

This is an amazing feat of arms! to go from a rag tag bunch armed with hunting rifles and shot guns to a full ‘army’ able to not only resist but now go on the offensive and force the UA to retreat is outstanding achievement.
We will see the US and NATO involvement OTG.in Ukraine in force trying to shore up the UA debacle.
