Beautiful!

‼️Latest interview with Elena from Ukraine.‼️ She's smart, beautiful, asks excellent questions and because she also monitors ukrop social media and info channels, also provides some very interesting info herself. Watch, share and SUBSCRIBE! I'll be on with her again soon. ✊🤠👍

The Musicians are having a hard fight in Artemovsk/Bakmut, but continue to advance. The largest concentration of ukrop troops on the Donbass Front today is definitely there. On the other hand, if you look at a topographical map, you will see that the city itself is in a river valley, and our guys hold most of the high ground around the city.

The latest reports mention "several hundred tanks and IFV's", which is a formidable task force, but nowhere near 80,000. The ukrops have concentrated some of their most savage fighters there, including AZOV, the "Free Russians", AIDAR, 1st Border Detachment, and 241st Terretorial Defense Brigade, all of which are genuine hardcore nazis, and among the best equipped in the ukrop army. It is a safe bet that there will not be a lot of prisoners coming out of this battle on either side. The weather forecast for the coming week does not include significant rain, and so the weather will probably not be a factor in a decision whether to counter-attack or not.

As usual, the main limiting factor in whether Wagner will be able to surround, take and hold the city will again be the amount of fire and material support they get (or don't get) from RF Army Command, which has proven itself to be somewhat dubious at best.

There also remains a serious risk of counter-attacks in the Zaporozhia and Ugledar areas, but I think these will probably not occur unless a prior breakthrough by the ukrops develops elsewhere first.

One scenario the "experts" have so far failed to mention is the very real and ongoing danger that the ukrops may make another attempt to do what they originally planned to do in March of last year - break through the Front and enter directly into the main cities of the DPR. Understand that the second biggest concentration of ukrop troops after Bakmut is between Ugledat and Avdeevka, pretty much right along the Donetsk/Makeevka city limits. It would be no cakewalk, but if the ukrops can advance 15 Km (less than 10 miles) from their present positions, they will literally be in the center of Donetsk and Makeevka, the two biggest cities in the DPR. Which completely changes the entire dynamics of the whole war. If the nazis can enter Donetsk, Makeevka and/or Gorlovka, it makes the battles for Bakmut and Ugledar superfluous.

Gorlovka, the 3rd biggest city in the DPR, also still remains on the firing line, with significant ukrop army concentrations on the edge of the city. It is less than 30 Km (20 miles) from Bakmut to the center of Gorlovka. All the units around Bakmut could instead attack Gorlovka, a move that no one seems to be talking about, but one I sure hope our guys are prepared to deal with.

Sun Tzu said, "All warfare is deception. When we are near, we need to appear far, and when we are far, we need to appear near." Just because there are a lot of troops near Bakmut, that does not mean that Bakmut is the destination. This war is still a long way from won, and the longer it goes on, the more dangerous it becomes. The Russian General Staff cannot afford anymore mistakes.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 The Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot yet launch a counteroffensive in the eastern direction , Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri

He explained this by the fact that the army does not have enough weapons, noting that he is waiting for new supplies from other countries.

"We cannot yet. Without tanks, artillery and HIMARS MLRS, we cannot send our soldiers to the front line."

Sun Tzu said, "All warfare is deception. When we are near, we need to appear far, and when we are far, we need to appear near."

Returning to the topic of drones:

“Our source in the OP said that Taiwan handed over to Ukraine almost a thousand UAVs that have the swarm function and are able to interact with each other automatically. The General Staff is going to use them in the counter-offensive on the Crimea in order to cause the effect of surprise / panic in the enemy "

Возвращаясь к теме беспилотников:

«Наш источник в ОП рассказал, что Тайвань передал Украине почти тысячу БПЛА, у которых присутствует функция роя и они способны взаимодействовать между собой в автоматическом режиме. Генштаб собирается их применить в контрнаступлении на Крым, чтобы вызвать эффект неожиданности/паники у противника»

Front-line summary March 24

Artyomovsk. Bogdanovka, Khromovo, Ivanovskoye - there are battles. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have rebuilt part of the supply on dirt roads, but muddy roads greatly complicate matters. There are fierce battles both in the villages and inside the city, ours are moving slowly. The most likely place for Syrsky's counterattack is Ivanovskoye (Red) in the southwest of Artemovsk. There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not allow the Wagnerites to approach Ivanovsky himself, but they themselves do not have success. There is a promotion of ours near Avdiivka. On other sectors of the front without significant changes.

Ukraine handed over seriously wounded prisoners to Russia, whose condition allowed for transportation, the Ukrainian coordinating headquarters for prisoners of war reports. The exact number transferred is not reported. This is not about the exchange of prisoners of war, but about repatriation: the return of seriously wounded prisoners without any conditions, as provided for by international humanitarian law. Our side has not yet commented on this news. But this is good news.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced the destruction of a hangar with UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Odessa region. In Zhytomyr, after our strike, an oil depot was on fire. Armed Forces of Ukraine fired from the MLRS Kyiv district of Donetsk. They hit from Lastochkino, it is to the west of Avdiivka, and our artillery is already reaching it, for example, yesterday an ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed there. I hope the people of Donetsk do not have long to live under shelling.

Press Secretary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Ignat said that F-16 fighters in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will also be able to be led by experienced foreign pilots. Indeed, why not! So far, there is no information on the transfer of the F-16 with pilots, as well as on the request of Ukraine to Finland for the supply of F / A-18 Hornet fighters. But Slovakia handed over to Ukraine 4 MiG-29 fighters out of the promised 11 or 12. Macedonia gave back to Ukraine 4 Su-25 attack aircraft previously bought from them. Planes are also expected from Poland. I wonder if all Western planes will be with pilots? By the way, some of the fighters will probably be adapted for the use of NATO missiles. France can also transfer 10 Mirage 2000 fighter jets to Ukraine, moreover, 30 Ukrainian military personnel (pilots and ground personnel) have been undergoing pilot training on these aircraft for a month now. As I wrote, these aircraft, even if they are delivered, will not decide the outcome of the battle. At the beginning of the war, Ukraine had about 115 military aircraft, not counting transport workers, and this did not help Ukraine create an advantage in the sky.

In addition, Ukrainian sources report receiving a large batch of drones from Taiwan, in addition to other purchases. On both sides of the front, they realize the value of drones, they are spent like shells and are also required by the tens of thousands.

Фронтовая сводка 24 марта

Артёмовск. Богдановка, Хромово, Ивановское — идут бои. ВСУ перестроили часть снабжения на грунтовые дороги, но распутица сильно осложняет дело. И в селах, и внутри города ожесточенные бои, наши продвигаются небыстро. Самое вероятное место контратаки Сырского — Ивановское (Красное) на юго-западе Артемовска. Там ВСУ не подпускают вагнеровцев к самому Ивановскому, но и сами успехов не имеют. Есть продвижение наших под Авдеевкой. На других участках фронта без значимых перемен.

Украина передала России тяжелораненых пленных, состояние которых разрешало транспортировку, об этом сообщает украинский координационный штаб по вопросам пленных. Точное число переданных не сообщается. Речь идет не об обмене военнопленными, а именно о репатриации: возвращение тяжелораненых пленных без всяких условий, как это предусматривает международное гуманитарное право. Наша сторона пока никак эту новость не комментировала. Но это хорошая новость.

Минобороны РФ сообщило об уничтожении ангара с беспилотниками ВСУ в Одесской области. В Житомире после нашего удара полыхала нефтебаза. ВСУ обстреляли из РСЗО Киевский район Донецка. Били из Ласточкино, оно к западу от Авдеевки, и до него уже достаёт наша артиллерия, например, вчера там уничтожили склад боеприпасов ВСУ. Надеюсь, недолго осталось дончанам под обстрелами жить.

Пресс-секретарь ВС Украины Юрий Игнат заявил, что истребителями F-16 в рядах ВСУ смогут руководить и имеющие опыт иностранные пилоты. Действительно, почему бы и нет! Пока по передаче F-16 с пилотами информации нет, равно как и по запросу Украины к Финляндии по поставкам истребителей F/A-18 Hornet. А вот Словакия передала Украине 4 истребителя МиГ-29 из обещанных 11 или 12. Македония отдала обратно Украине ранее купленные у них 4 штурмовика Су-25. Ждут самолеты и от Польши. Интересно, все западные самолеты будут с пилотами? Кстати, наверняка часть истребителей будет адаптирована для применения ракет НАТО. Франция тоже может передать Украине 10 истребителей Mirage 2000, более того, 30 украинских военнослужащих (лётчики и наземный персонал) уже месяц проходят обучение пилотированию на этих самолетах. Как я писал, эти самолёты, даже если будут поставлены не решат исход сражения. На начало войны у Украины было порядка 115 военных самолетов, не считая транспортников, и это не помогло Украине создать перевес в небе.

Помимо этого украинские источники сообщают о получении крупной партии беспилотников с Тайваня, в дополнение к другим закупкам. С обеих сторон фронта осознают ценность беспилотников, они расходуются как снаряды и требуются тоже десятками тысяч.

Источники с той стороны ленточки пишут, что ВСУ просят волонтеров как можно быстрее передать на передовую все самое необходимое, включая, например, спасательные жилеты. Тут вспоминается, что в последнем пакете от США были катера. Действительно, последние несколько месяцев ВСУ неустанно проводят аэроразведку по всей линии Днепра, лазают ДРГ. Складывая разрозненную и отрывочную информацию, можно представить себе масштабы подготовки наступления ВСУ и спрогнозировать попытки наступать в нескольких местах сразу. Многие пишут, все начнётся не раньше 15 апреля. Но тут важнее не когда, а как и где. Пригожин вчера оценил объем резервов ВСУ в 200 тыс человек, по его подсчетам порядка 80 тыс. из них сосредоточено вблизи Артемовска. Кстати, есть ощущение, что и Сырский неспроста откладывает свою операцию в Артемовске тоже примерно на середину апреля. Будет на этом участке фронта контрудар ВСУ или эта группировка пойдёт, например, выше, к Купянску? Такие маневры могут быть отвлекающими, а могут и не быть. Мы не знаем, что знает наше командование о подготовке ВСУ, мало знаем о том, как и где готовятся к атакам наши военные. Мы видим только, что несмотря на то, что наши стабильно грызут оборону ВСУ уже довольно давно, стратегически линия фронта остаётся прежней. О чем это говорит? О том, что ВСУ совершенно точно не собираются в ближайшее время сдаться, кончиться или испустить дух. Но и наши военные готовятся к, возможно, решающему бою и настроены только на Победу!

Sources on the other side of the ribbon write that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are asking volunteers to transfer everything they need to the front line as soon as possible, including, for example, life jackets. Here it is remembered that in the last package from the USA there were boats. Indeed, for the past few months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been tirelessly conducting aerial reconnaissance along the entire line of the Dnieper, climbing DRGs. Adding together disparate and fragmentary information, one can imagine the scale of the preparation for the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and predict attempts to attack in several places at once. Many write that everything will start no earlier than April 15th. But here it is more important not when, but how and where. Prigozhin yesterday estimated the amount of reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at 200 thousand people, according to his calculations, about 80 thousand of them are concentrated near Artemovsk. By the way, there is a feeling that Syrsky is postponing his operation in Artemovsk for a reason, too, until about mid-April. Will there be a counterattack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on this sector of the front, or will this group go, for example, higher, to Kupyansk? Such maneuvers may or may not be distracting. We do not know what our command knows about the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we know little about how and where our military is preparing for attacks. We only see that despite the fact that ours have been steadily gnawing at the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for quite a long time, the strategic front line remains the same. What does it say? The fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are definitely not going to give up, end or give up their breath in the near future. But our military is also preparing for a possibly decisive battle and is set only for victory!

What an absolute scumbag...

Nice shooting!
