It is important to note that until the verification is completed, it will be assumed that the information provided by those liable for military service is not reliable.

It is still difficult to predict what consequences may arise in the event of data discrepancies, however, we should expect longer waiting times for a response from the military commissariat when trying to make changes to your military registration data.

For the cost of damage caused by this Ukrainian attack on the airfield, shelters for the regular number of aircraft of one regiment could have been built. Or even three regiments.
It's good that there were no KIAs.

For the cost of damage caused by the Ukes at airfields over the entire period of the special military operation, shelters could have been built at all airfields used by our air forces during the special military operation.

It’s a pity that no one needs this, but dictation is needed.

Review

There is a lot of news, in particular:

- apparently, the command of the Russian troops is conducting a fairly large-scale regrouping of troops between operational directions;

- the air force component of the Russian group is being reformatted quite significantly;

- quite interesting events are also taking place “around” the Russian-Ukrainian war in nearby regions.

We’ll talk about all this a little later, but today we’ll talk about the current situation in the combat zone, and we’ll dwell in more detail on the Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk directions.

1️⃣Kupiansk direction.

As you and I, dear readers, expected, the enemy is gradually trying to increase the scope and volume of its offensive actions in this direction. True, so far, it’s been difficult for them.

So, after his recent success in the area of ​​the village of Kyslivka (the enemy has practically captured this village almost completely), their troops deployed south of the “Tabaivsky ledge” also joined in the offensive operations, namely:

- advanced units of the 15th Motorized Rifle Regiment (MRR) and 1st Tank Regiment (TR) from the 2nd "Taman" Motorized Rifle Division (MRD) of the 1st Tank Army (TA) tried to attack the AFU positions northeast of the village of Berestove from the side of Krokhmalne, apparently trying to bypass the village from the north. So far no success.

- To the south of the village of Novoselivske, the 27th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade (SMRBr) of the above-mentioned 1st Tank Army of the enemy became active again with a clear desire to break through to the northern outskirts of Stelmakhivka, but so far they have not succeeded.

- Well, you need to understand, as support and interaction with these attacks, units of the 423rd Motorized Rifle Regiment from the 4th Tank Division (TD) of the above-mentioned 1st Tank Army, became more active east of Stelmakhivka itself.

Obviously, the command of the enemy Group of Troops “West” has a "clearly defined" task—not only to break through to Kupiansk itself, but also to break through to the Oskil River in the section between Kupiansk and Borova in the widest possible "format."

I think this is what dictated the enemy’s attacks in the zones of the 27th Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 4th Tank Division of the 1st Tank Army, that is, south of the Tabaivka-Pishchane and Ivanivka-Stepova Novoselivka directions.

Probably, in the Kupiansk direction, in addition to Kyslivka, Ukrainian troops will soon have to leave the village of Kotliarivka. After all, the enemy, in fact, bypassed it both from the north (through Kyslivka) and from the south, along the Svatove-Kupiansk road.

4️⃣Kramatorsk direction (the area of Chasiv Yar) and for a better understanding, at the same time—Pokrovsk.

Here's a little more detail.

In my opinion, at the moment we are dealing with the enemy forming two fronts (flanks) for the upcoming Toretsk operation—northern and southern.

It is obvious that the offensive of the Group of Troops "South" (its northern part, in the Kramatorsk direction) along the general direction on Chasiv Yar-Stupochky and the simultaneous enemy offensive along the Ocheretyne-Novooleksandrivka direction (Pokrovsk direction)—the creation of a surrounding enemy troop position for the Toretsk defense region of the AFU.

To date, the enemy command has made the most successful progress precisely in relation to the southern face—in the Group of Troops "Center" zone; things with the northern flank, in the Group of Troops "South" zone (sometimes called the Group of Troops "Bakhmut") are not so successful.

So, as of the morning of April 30, 2024.

In the Kramatorsk direction.

- Yes, as I said, the enemy, although with a delay, deployed units of the 331st Airborne Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division and the 11th Separate Airborne Brigade towards the forest south of the Chasiv Yar, however, without any special dividends for itself.

And it’s clear why—the enemy’s 102nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 150th Motorized Rifle Division continues to “fight” in the northwestern part of the village of Ivanivske, and without taking it completely under control and advancing south of the Bakhmut-Kostyantynivka road, organize a truly concentrated and targeted offensive/assault on the first positions of the AFU in the town of Chasiv Yar is, let’s say, problematic.

- The forecast regarding the enemy’s revitalization “in the area of Klishchiivka” was also justified. The 88th Motorized Rifle Brigade was again brought into battle east of the village and even managed to dislodge our advanced units from one position. True, only in cooperation with the 1307th Regiment of the 6th Motorized Rifle Division of the 3rd Army Corps, operating north of Klishchiivka, but then it stopped.

- The enemy also attacked on the flank sectors, in particular, the advanced units of the 200th Motorized Rifle Brigade tried to advance south of the village of Hryhorivka, and the 83rd Motorized Rifle Brigade, together with a number of units, the above-mentioned 88th Motorized Rifle Brigade tried to push our units out of the area of Andriivka again. In both cases, the enemy's actions were unsuccessful.

Thus, it becomes obvious that the formation of the enemy’s northern flank (face) for the upcoming Toretsk operation, let’s say, has slowed down a little due to a number of difficulties.

After all, the enemy needs to achieve several conditions:

- to form this face as close as possible from the north to the northern outskirts of Toretsk and as far as possible west (southwest) from Chasiv Yar, and for this it is necessary, at a minimum, to completely dislodge Ukrainian troops from the Klishchiivka-Andriivka line, and it is very desirable to reach the Stupochky-Bila Hora line.

- the AFU defense area itself in the town of Chasiv Yar is “interesting” to the enemy, at this stage, solely because it “stands in their way,” so to speak, “on the road” to Stupochky and Kostyantynivka.

But, they might try and get around it, WITHOUT ATTACKING it head-on, advancing from the south and south-east, at the same time forming a northern face for a hypothetical Toretsk operation. And the enemy command does have the experience of significant changes in the direction of the “main attack,” as they say, “along the way,” for example, this is exactly what they did during the assault on Avdiivka and its Coke Plant.

At present, it is obvious that the enemy’s reaching the Stupochky-Bela Hora line looks like the minimum they need in order to create the “necessary conditions” for organizing and conducting the Toretsk operation.

Of course, in this case, a breakthrough to Kostyantynivka and access to the Pleshchiivka-Dyliivka line is a “best-case scenario” for them.

Another thing is the southern face (Pokrovsk direction).

It is obvious that here the enemy has made progress “forming preconditions” for the hypothetical Toretsk operation, much further than in the Group of Troops “South” zone in the Kramatorsk direction.

The situation currently looks like this:

The Zvizdets Mangustu [Mongoose (operation) is fucked up] Telegram channel:

- Units of the enemy’s 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade from his 1st Army Corps took control of the villages of Novokalynove and Keramik. Also, obviously, the enemy (132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade + 35th Motorized Rifle Brigade) managed to completely clear the territory south of the Ocheretyne-Keramik road and thus almost completely eliminate the threat to the flanks of their breakthrough in the direction of Ocheretyne. The advanced units of the 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade are already north of the village of Keramik.

“In turn, from the other flank of the “Ocheretynsky breakthrough”, units of the enemy’s 27th Motorized Rifle Division, brought into action to the left of the 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade, which acted “at the forefront” of this breakthrough, not only captured the village of Soloviove, but also began to apparently, ”collapse” the AFU defense west of Berdychi and Semenivka. At least as of yesterday, units of the enemy’s 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade, from its 41st Combined Arms Army, managed to completely take control of the village of Berdychi.

- Finally, the 114th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the 1st Army Corps also “set off”, having managed to dislodge our advanced units west of the village of Orlivka and, apparently, in the zone of action of this brigade we should expect bringing additional enemy forces into action.

- Well, “at the forefront” of the breakthrough itself, units of the enemy’s 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade, constantly replenished with personnel and weapons and military equipment, almost non-stop, continue to advance in the general north-western direction along the direction to Novooleksandrivka-Vozdvyzhenka and towards Lozuvatske.

Thus, we can state several unpleasant things regarding the enemy’s formation of the southern flank (face) of the upcoming Toretsk operation:

- Gradually, the enemy’s tactical successes north-west of Avdiivka are turning into operational-tactical ones. Moreover, the AFU in this direction are not yet able to prevent this; the enemy continues not only to advance “in depth”, but also expands his breakthrough along the flank.

- The troops of the enemy’s 2nd, 41st Combined Arms Armies and their 1st Army Corps in certain sectors and directions of their offensive have an advantage over the AFU by 3-4 times in terms of weapons and military equipment and up to 6 times in terms of personnel. Moreover, the command of the enemy Group of Troops "Center" was able to create a reserve of 3 small motorized rifle regiments in this direction.

- And the most unpleasant thing is that the pace and scope of the enemy’s offensive north-west of Avdiivka is gradually beginning to INCREASE, it seems that the AFU units, operating in this direction, are simply exhausted.

However, in my opinion, in the near future the enemy will shift his main efforts along the zone of action of the 30th Motorized Rifle Brigade precisely at the zone of action of the 35th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the 2nd Combined Arms Army and the 132nd Motorized Rifle Brigade from the 1st Army Corps, probably on both sides of the Kostiantynivka-Yasynuvata road and will try to reach the Stara Mykolaivka-Sukha Balka line.

I'll explain.
From the point of view of “an eye on the future,” this is more expedient than the enemy’s "Ocheretyne offensive” directly into the “northwestern area.”

Otherwise, sooner or later, the growth of the Ocheretyne appendix of the AFU's enemy “in depth” will be stopped and they will find themselves in an “interesting position.”

So far, the depth of this breakthrough is somewhere around 10-11 km, but this has already caused a certain tension for the enemy to cover his flanks. If this breakthrough becomes even “deeper,” the enemy’s tension regarding the need to “cover the flanks” will increase even more.

While the enemy manages to do this successfully, moreover, they are gradually expanding the “base” of their breakthrough. But, in this sense, it is always worth asking yourself the question: why and how much strength do I have to do this?

If you bear in mind the upcoming Toretsk operation, then you need to clearly shift the direction of attack “a little to the right,” exactly where I indicated above.

Moreover, precisely for the same reasons for which it is worth forming the northern flank (face)—to move as close as possible, this time, to the southern outskirts of Toretsk and as far southwest of it as possible, so that later it would be convenient to “go around and encircle.”

Unfortunately, apparently, the enemy command understands all this quite clearly and acts precisely in this vein.

⚡️Frontline summary as of the morning of May 2, 2024⚡️

Zaporizhzhia front. In Robotyne, the AFU abandoned some of their positions, retreating to more advantageous positions for defense, since, apparently, it is becoming simply impossible to remain in a village that has been completely razed to the ground. For the same reason, part of Robotyne is a contested area. There is virtually nowhere for our troops to gain a foothold there. In any case, although Ukrainian troops are retreating further north, it is too early to talk about complete control over the settlement. (Pic. 1)

Donetsk front. Encounter fighting continues in Netailove and in the area of Umanske. No significant progress. In the area of Semenivka and Berdychi, the RuAF continue to gradually move west. In the area of Soloviove , Russian troops are developing an offensive in the direction of the village of Sokil. Also, the RuAF were able to level the northern flank, cutting off part of the pocket that formed between Soloviove and Ocheretyne. In the area of this settlement there are also advances to the northwest towards Novooleksandrivka and to the northeast, where Russian troops were able to fight and gain a foothold on the territory of Arkhanhelske. In the same direction, the RuAF are trying to develop an offensive from Novokalynove and Keramik. (Pic. 2)

Chasiv Yar direction. The destruction of the AFU positions continues through strikes using long-range weapons. On the eastern outskirts, oncoming combat actions continue, without much progress. But from the southern flank of the Kanal neighborhood, Russian troops managed to expand the zone of control. If we take into account the parallel advance from Bohdanivka, it turns out that the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar will soon risk ending up in a pincer movement. Ukrainian troops continue to transfer reserves to this section of the frontline. (Pic. 3)

Frontline situation as of the end of the day on May 4, 2024

🔸Belarus, Siversk and Belgorod sections — no changes. Strikes on border areas continue.

🔸 Starobilsk section — the enemy is conducting assault operations in Kyslivka and Kotlyarivka. As a result, Kotlyarivka is occupied by the enemy. Clashes continue east of Terny and in the Serebryanske Forestry, the Defense Forces have regained control over part of the positions in the contested area.

🔸 Bakhmut direction — the enemy attacks Chasiv Yar from the side of Bohdanivka and continues assaults in Ivanovske and north of Klishchiivka. No significant changes were recorded.

🔸 Donetsk section — the enemy occupied Arkhanhelske and forest lines further east. In addition, all of Ocheretyne's administrative borders are in the red zone, since before that there was no confirmation that the enemy managed to gain a foothold near the school building. The Katsaps [Russians] carry out offensive actions in the direction of Novopokrovske, with partial success. A similar situation is south of Pervomaiske and east of Umanske. Near the latter, assaults resumed with military vehicles carrying a lot of landing forces. Fighting for the town continue in Krasnohorivka, the enemy continues to occupy the settlement piece by piece. In Urozhaine, the Defense Forces continue to repulse the attacks, and the enemy is building up its grouping in that area.

🔸 Zaporizhzhia section — fighting continues in Robotyne and the village further east. While it is difficult to understand the exact situation in that area, because everything is very dynamic.

🔸 Tavriya section — in April, the Defense Forces managed to slightly expand the bridgehead in Krynky. This change is reflected as a clarification.

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy continues offensive actions in many areas of the front. Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey about "Claymore" and "Bangalore," as well as about the 115th [Mechanized] Brigade.

So, Ukrainians were then very grateful to the general for the announcement, because the attacks on Marines immediately began. Thanks to Syrsky, Ukrainians were met on the island. In this case, our 61st Naval Infantry Brigade. After such a meeting, not everyone was evacuated, and gaining a foothold by the AFU there is out of the question.

The Oryol governor introduced payments for those who signed a war contract

Governor of the Oryol region Andrey Klychkov introduced a regional payment of 250 thousand rubles [$2,735] for the servicemen who signed the contract.

On April 25, just a week after signing the decree, the governor made the first changes to it. Initially, everyone received the payment except those who signed the contract in penal colonies. Now money will be paid to all citizens who decide to go to war.

In September 2023, when asked about the introduction of regional payments for contract workers, the head of the regional finance department, Elena Sapozhnikova, replied that there was no money in the budget for this, as Oryoltimes media outlet reported. Until recently, the Oryol region remained one of the few regions where contract workers were not given regional payments.

In April 2024, payments for signing contracts were raised in four more regions of Russia. The governor of the Vladimir region, Aleksandr Avdeev, increased the regional payment for military personnel who signed the contract from 100 [$1,093] to 250 thousand [$2,735] rubles. Governor of the Rostov region Vasily Golubev raised the rate to 700 thousand rubles [$7,655] . The head of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratyev, doubled the amount—from 500 thousand [$5,468] to 1 million rubles [$10,935]. The mayor of Nizhny Novgorod, Yuri Shalabaev, promised a million rubles for a contract with the Ministry of Defense.
