⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline Report for the Morning of 20 Dec 2022; pub. 9:08⚡️
♦️In the #Kherson direction, Russian artillery launched massive strikes on the regional centre. Also under fire were AFU positions in #Kizomys, #Kamyshany and #Sadovoye. (Fig. 1)
♦️In the #Zaporozhye direction, the RF Armed Forces hit Plavny, Malaya Shcherbaki, #Novoandreyevka and #Krasnoye. The AFU barrel artillery is silent, which cannot be unequivocally interpreted as a good sign for the Russian army. It is possible that they are saving shells and hiding positions for a possible offensive. (Fig. 2)
♦️On the #Donetsk front, events on the ground have been pretty much the same lately. Russian troops attacked again near #Novomikhailovka and #Pobeda. Fierce fighting in #Maryinka. The Russian army advances with difficulty, but in the city limits. Another attempted attack on the Ukrainian armed forces' stronghold in #Krasnogorovka. Artillery is firing at #Avdeyevka. For its part, the AFU is shelling #Donetsk and #Yasynuvata. The only new direction is #Aleksandrapol. Russian troops attacked in the direction of this locality in order to reach the N-20 highway in this area and surround the powerful Ukrainian garrison in #Novobakhmutovka. The RF Armed Forces tried to take this settlement head-on more than once. But without success. (Fig. 3)
♦️South of #Bakhmut, the Wagner PMCs carried out storming operations near #Kleshchiyevka. On the eastern outskirts of the city itself, counterattacks continued. To the north-east, the Wagner PMCs are attacking near #Podgorodnoye. And to the south of #Soledar it is trying to break through the AFU defence near #Bakhmutskoye. (Fig. 4)
