⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bachmut - Situation until 14:00 on 12 Feb 2023⚡️

💀 #Wagner PMC assault squads have liberated the village of Krasnaya Gora north of #Bakhmut.

The triangle #Podgorodnoye - #Paraskoviyevka - #Krasnaya Gora is the main knot of the AFU defence north of #Bakhmut. After the capture of #Soledar, the enemy had time to draw up reserves and build defences along the dominant heights.

▪️ PMC squads managed to enter #Paraskoviyevka and Krasnaya Gora a couple of weeks ago, but managed to drive out the Ukrainian garrison just today.

▪️ For the past two days, the Ukrainian formations have been trying to withdraw the blockaded units in the settlement. Last night they managed to flee in the direction of #Paraskoviyevka.

▪️ Assault teams are mopping up the village and continuing to press on #Paraskoviyevka itself. After capturing Krasnaya Gora and the dominant heights, the defences in the village should crumble soon.

🔹Bearing in mind the already cut #Bakhmut - #Slavyansk route, the immediate task of the PMC will be to take #Berkhovka and consolidate on the northern outskirts of #Bakhmut itself (PMC units have already entered #Stupki).

📌 But even with the blocking of the main routes from #Bakhmut to #Slavyansk and Chasov Yar, it is extremely premature to consider the operational encirclement of the city. Due to the network of ramified roundabout roads in the fields between the main routes, Ukrainian formations almost freely transfer reinforcements to the crucible of the "#Bakhmut Meat Grinder".

💥#Khmelnitsky Region (#Ukraine):

▪️ On Saturday, Russian troops launched a missile strike against the location of the AFU's 383rd Separate UAV Regiment at #Khmelnitsky. The facility was allegedly used to store strike and reconnaissance drones.

🔹#Russia's Border Areas:

▪️ Ukrainian formations shelled the border village of #Gornal in Suzhansk district, as well as the village of #Elizavetovka and the village of Popovo-Lezhachi in Elizavetovka and the village of Popovo-Lezhachi, Glushkovsky district, #Kursk region.
➖ A gas distribution station was damaged by the impact. Problems with electricity supply are observed in #Krasnooktyabrsky and #Volfino.

➖ The strike damaged power lines and three households, a 12-year-old girl was killed and another person is in intensive care.

🔹#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In the #Kupyansk area, the RF Armed Forces have taken control of the village of #Gryanikovka, north of #Kupyansk, knocking Ukrainian militants out of the settlement. The enemy attempted a counterattack with artillery and aviation, but was pushed back to its initial positions.
➖ Russian fighters are advancing on the AFU bridgehead at the right bank of the #Oskol River. The enemy is relocating reserve battalions of the Territorial Defence to the site, reinforcing the defensive line.

▪️ In the #Liman section, Ukrainian formations are preparing to defend at the line #Makeyevka - Zhuravka Balka - #Terny - #Yampolovka - #Torskoye. Artillery duels are taking place all along the front.

🔹#Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction (MAP):

▪️ South of #Paraskoviyeivka, Wagner PMC assault squads are fighting hard for #Berkhovka. The village is a transit point for supplies to the #Bakhmut Garrison, so the enemy so the enemy is fiercely resisting in this area. To the north of the village, Russian fighters have taken one of the heights, advancing deep into the AFU defences.
➖ In addition, the "Wagnerians" expanded their zone of control in the #Stupki area. This has improved the tactical position of the RF Armed Forces on the northern outskirts of #Bakhmut.

▪️ In #Bakhmut, heavy fighting is taking place in the area of the Champagne Wine Factory. On the southern and southwestern outskirts of the city, the "Wagnerians" have dislodged the enemy from positions near Radyansky Lane and expanded their zone of control in the area of the Mariupol cemetery.

▪️ Southwest of #Bakhmut, the AFU was able to push back Russian units from the #Bakhmut - #Konstantinovka highway. Battles unfolded on the approaches to the road.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ The Ukrainian terrorist forces continue to hit the civilian infrastructure of #Donetsk. In the capital of the DPR, a massive strike from the Grad MLRS damaged more than 15 houses and many administrative buildings, the Central Market, educational institutions and the prosecutor's office building. At least nine people were injured.
➖ Petrovsky district is partially de-energised due to damage to eight transformer stations.

🔹#Kherson Direction on Southern Front:

▪️ Mutual shelling with the use of howitzer and rocket artillery continues along the entire frontline. The RF Armed Forces inflicted fire damage on targets in #Kherson, #Tyaginka, #Burgunka, #Antonovka and #Ochakov.
➖ In turn, the Ukrainian terrorist forces struck at the bakery plant in #Tavriysk.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 23 Feb 2023⚡️

⚠️ All @Rybar map reports and more Rybar content are accurately translated on t.me/sitreports!

🔹#Russia's Border Areas:

▪️ In the #Kursk region, Ukrainian terrorist forces again shelled #Troitskoye, #Tetkino and #Gordeyevka . Civilian buildings were damaged with no casualties resulting from the incident.

▪️ In the #Belgorod region, the enemy terrorists struck Novaya Tavolzhanka, #Voznesenovka and #Borisovka, in the latter an elderly woman was killed and her daughter wounded by the shelling. In the villages, infrastructure and homes of local residents were slightly damaged.

▪️ A Russian Aerospace Forces Su-25 crashed due to a technical malfunction in Valuysky urban district, the pilot did not survive.

🔹#Starobelsk Direction:

▪️ Both sides are not conducting any offensive action, artillery duels are taking place along the entire line of contact.

🔹#Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction (MAP):

▪️ North of #Soledar, Russian forces conducted a reconnaissance battle at the #Zaliznyanskoye - #Vasyukovka line. An advance in this direction would threaten the enemy's rear in the #Seversk agglomeration.

▪️ In the northwestern suburbs of #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk), Wagner PMC fighters have taken control of #Berkhovka, through which several important routes for the enemy's defence run. Control over it will cut off the AFU's supply lines in the area and allow increased pressure on the northern outskirts of #Bakhmut.

▪️ The enemy has withdrawn to Dubovo-Vasilevka and #Yagodnoye village, which the "Wagnerians" continue to storm. Fighting in the settlement is taking place in the area of the Bakhmut nursery.

▪️ The enemy is trying to hold the #Yagodnoye - #Stupki area in #Bakhmut until a new defensive line is set up near Chasov Yar.

🔹#Donetsk Direction (MAP):

▪️ In #Marinka, positional fighting continues in the centre of the city. Due to the difficulty of the attack, the RF forces are trying to cover the city from the south and north.

▪️ Implementing this plan, Russian forces launched an offensive from the tyre repair factory in #Maryinka southwards towards the settlement of #Pobeda and managed to break into the settlement itself.
➖ Later, the troops, who received no support from other units, had to withdraw and take up positions on the road to #Pobeda southwest of #Maryinka. Fighting in the area continues.

🔹#Kherson Direction, #SouthFront:

▪️ RF Armed Forces hit Ukrainian army facilities in and around #Kherson.
The enemy responded by shelling Novaya Kakhovka, #Kakhovka, #Alyoshki and other liberated towns in #Kherson region.

🔹#Crimea:

▪️ Near #Simferopol, a section of railway has suffered track damage close to the village of #Pochtovoye. The nature of the damage is currently unknown, but traffic was restored within a few hours.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 13:00 on 25 Feb 2023⚡️

🔹#Soledar Sector:

▪️ Northwest of #Soledar, the command of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade expects the activation of Wagner PMC assault squads and Regular Army units at the #Zaliznyanskoye - #Vasyukovka line. Ditches and trenches are being constructed on the defence line.

🔹#Bakhmut Sector Northwest:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault squads have completed the mop-up of the village of #Yagodnoye, a populated area under the control of Russian units. The loss of #Yagodnoye forced the militants of the AFU's 25th Rifle Battalion to withdraw from one of the blocks near #Stupki.

▪️ Furthermore, the "Wagnerians" entered Dubovo-Vasilyevka, from which the paratroopers of Ukraine's 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade withdrew at night under the cover of artillery from #Bogdanovka. The AFU is firing at the village using MLRS and attack aviation.

▪️ Now Ukrainian units are accelerating the preparation of the #Grigorovka - #Bogdanovka - Chasov Yar defence line. They are installing MANPADS firing positions in the apartment buildings of Chasov Yar.

📌 After the final clearing of #Yagodnoye and Dubovo-Vasilyevka, the most logical direction of the strike will be in #Khromovo. It is through this suburb along with #Berkhovka that the remaining supply routes of the AFU grouping on the northern outskirts of #Bakhmut previously pass.

🔹#Toretsk Sector:

▪️ The personnel of the 5th Separate Assault Regiment of the AFU Special Forces have been rotated. 82mm mortars and anti-tank systems have been transferred to the forward positions.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 What is happening in #Bakhmut after the Dam was Blown Up?

Yesterday Ukrainian militants 👉 blew up a dam in northwestern #Bakhmut in the hope to slow down the advance of PMC Wagner assault squads in the north of the city and on the #Berkhovka side with #Yagodnoye.

🔹 Will this help the AFU in any way? Yes, but only partly:

▪️ The flow released from the dam will go towards the #Stupki area north of the territory of the Bakhmut nonferrous metal processing plant.

▪️ Further, the water will divide along the Bakhmutovka River. A small part will head south towards the Zabakhmutovka area, while the main part will go north along the river to the Seversky Donets.

There will be flooding, but not as significant as the Ukrainian media describe it. There is no large plain there and the banks are quite steep. The situation will be similar to a spring flood, for which #Bakhmut's infrastructure is already prepared. Within a few days the water level will normalise.

🔹Then why did the AFU Blow Up the Dam?

From the tactical point of view, there is little use for such a move. The flooding is minimal, and the threat will level itself in the near future. The AFU did more damage to its own formations in the Stupki area to the extent of possibly cutting off some of its forces and depriving them of shelter.

📌 The undermining of the dam is due to the West's deliberate policy of destroying #Ukraine as a state by creating a permanent zone of tension near #Russia's borders and turning the entire Ukrainian territory into an uninhabited and sparsely populated space.

And the AFU is just a means to an end, which Western handlers simply do not prevent from destroying their own country.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until the End of 27 Feb 2023⚡️

🔹#Soledar Sector:

▪️ Reinforcements were moved to #Minkovka in case the Russian offensive at the #Zaliznyanskoye - #Vasyukovka line was intensified. Fortifications are being set up in #Fedorovka on the road to #Seversk.

▪️ Due to a lack of cooperation and coordination, one of the AFU artillery crews hit its own formations, which had been withdrawn from the frontline for resupply. Due to losses, this unit is now planned to be disbanded.

▪️ There is a shortage of over 700 men in the 1 Bars Special Forces Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard. A reserve battalion in the amount of 760 people was transferred to the temporary subordination to the compound. This unit is armed with NLAW anti-tank missiles, machine guns and hand grenade launchers, but lacks artillery pieces.

▪️ Ukrainian formations attempt to deter the offensive with artillery and mortars. UAVs and copters provide targeting. Over the past 24 hours, the use of Mavic-3, Matrice-300, Matrice-30T, Autel Evo and Bee drones has been noted.

🔹#Bakhmut Sector Northwest:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault units have secured control near Berkhovsky Reservoir. To the west of Dubovo-Vasilyevka, the remnants of the AFU are trying to counterattack, but without success. There has been no active combat in the village itself for the past two days following the withdrawal of 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade forces from Dubovo-Vasilyevka.

▪️ Now the AFU are trying to expand the bridgehead around the #Grigorovka - #Bogdanovka line, where calculations of artillery and rocket artillery are deployed. With fire support, Ukrainian formations have repeatedly attempted to advance, but all attacks have been repulsed.

🔹#Bakhmut:

▪️ In the north of #Bakhmut, the "Wagnerians" completely cleared #Stupki and entered the Ilyinovka area. As 👉 expected, the undermining of the dam had no effect on the containment of Russian units, to some extent even assisting the advance in #Bakhmut.

▪️ In the south, there is a small advance by the Wagnerians near the Mariupol cemetery in the Budyonovka area. Also the storming of AFU residential areas continues in Sobachevka.

🔹#Bakhmut Sector Southwest:

▪️ There is fierce fighting on the outskirts of #Krasnoye and near the road to #Konstantinovka in the southwest. During the Wagner PMC offensive, the 93rd brigade of the AFU has suffered huge losses. It is being replenished with reservists.

▪️ The evacuation of the wounded is hampered by a lack of supply routes and a shortage of vehicles. In addition, it is simply impossible to remove a large part of the 93rd Brigade's equipment from the area of #Krasnoye, as practically all armoured personnel carriers have been destroyed or damaged.

▪️ A battalion formed from mobilised men is urgently being redeployed from Ivano-Frankovsk. Initially, the unit was supposed to be part of the new 👉 42nd Mechanized Brigade.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ AFU may lose the Control of last Road out of #Bakhmut⚡️

The Wagner PMCs are fighting the AFU in five sections of the T-0504 road at once: near #Bakhmut, near the central 2572 artillery base, and in the fields south of Chasov Yar between #Krinichki and #Stupki southwest of #Krasnoye.

Against the "bandwagon" in these areas the AFU threw prepared reserves. Battalions of the 113th and 127th Territorial Defense Brigades, as well as units of the 4th Tank and 5th Assault Brigades, previously withdrawn for supplementary staffing due to heavy losses in #Bakhmut.

The main task of the AFU for the next few days is to prevent the "orchestra" from taking possession of a section of the T-0504 road, along which reinforcements are planned to be brought into the city from neighbouring #Konstantinovka, 25 km to the southwest.

The loss of the route will effectively cut off the AFU garrison in #Bakhmut from the main forces, and it will have to be repulsed by diverting reserves from Chasov Yar and #Konstantinovka to defeat the city for normal supply and transportation of the wounded.

A significant part of the route from #Bakhmut to #Krasnoye and from #Krasnoye to Chasov Yar, not counting the entrance to the city, is under the fire control of PMC's and Russian aviation; the AFU has not been able to use it safely since early February.
