⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Artyomovsk Direction as of 00:05 Moscow time on 8 Jan 2023⚡️

🔹1. In the south of #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk), fighting is taking place near #Kleshchiyevka, where the Wagners are pounding and storming the AFU strongholds. #Kleshchievka itself has not yet been entered. To the south our troops are trying to advance from the #Kurdyumovka and #Ozeryanovka areas, but no results are known yet.

🔹2. In #Bakhmut itself there is fighting in the southeastern outskirts, where the "orchestra" is fighting for every house.

Part of #Opytnoye has been taken, fighting is taking place in the centre of the village, and no one is marking a clear front line there now.

In the vicinity of the town's industrial area fighting is taking place at the site of the gypsum plant and Patrice Lumumba street. There is little progress and the fighting is mostly positional.

🔹3. #Podgorodnoye is taken, where the system of the AFU Ukrops is similar to #Opytnoye, but they are still breaking there, while in #Podgorodnoye they have already broken through.

Enemy strongholds between #Podgorodnoye and Krasnaya Gora are being stormed, ours have not entered the latter yet.

🔹4. In #Soledar, fighting continues in the residential areas in the central part of the city. PMC Wagner assault units have reached the salt mine 1.3, taking it. The enemy have marked themselves off State Enterprise Artemsol (video with Butusov). They are sitting on the Sol station, on the western outskirts of #Soledar, having transferred the 46th Brigade from the #Zaporozhye direction for reinforcement.

Ours have entered the town from the #Yakovlevka side and there are reports of advances westwards to the #Seversk - #Soledar highway, but even here the real front line is difficult to mark at the moment.

🔹5. According to military expert Boris Rozhin, the capture of #Soledar will allow us to cover the enemy positions in #Bakhmut from the north. At the same time, problems arise in the enemy defence north of #Soledar at the line of #Veseloye - #Belogorovka - #Berestovoye - #Spornoye.

Cutting the #Seversk - #Soldar route will enable an offensive along it to #Seversk. If the offensive towards #Seversk and northwards develops, the enemy is deprived of the opportunity to use a bridgehead near the second #Belogorovka at Seversky Donets River to put pressure on #Lisichansk and through the forested area to #Kremennaya.

This is a complex impact!

🔹6. The enemy tries to cling to areas of weapons depots, artemsol underground communications and urban development.

🔹7. Retreating to #Bakhmut, the enemy will attempt to hold the defenses in the western part of the city, if necessary by withdrawing to equipped positions near Chasov Yar, using the dominant heights, before retreating to #Druzhkovka, #Kramatorsk and #Konstantinovka. With the pushing of the enemy in #Bakhmut, the front is hardly likely to crumble.

🔹8. A defensive breakthrough at #Soledar could have more serious consequences for the AFU. But everything depends on the pace of our advance and how quickly the enemy will be able to stabilize the line after losing #Soledar.

📌 The position of the AFU in this direction is close to critical, which is confirmed by the redeployment of formations from the #Zaporozhye direction to #Bakhmut and #Soledar. If their front line is shattered, it will be shattered not only there.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 14:00 on 8 Dec 2023⚡️

🩸In the vicinity of #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) and #Soledar, fierce fighting continues. Russian forces are penetrating the AFU defences, forcing them to move more and more reinforcements to hold the settlements.

♦️#Soldar Sector:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault units are advancing in the area of Salt Mine 1-3 on AFU positions in Artemsol at the intersection of Chkalova and Karpinskogo streets.

▪️ In the northeastern outskirts of #Soledar, the assault units advanced towards Yurchina Gora, taking control of the stretch of road up to #Blagodatnoye.

▪️ The situation in #Soledar is close to critical for the Ukrainian militants. The RF Armed Forces have broken through the first and second defence lines, while the combat ranks of the third line are threated. The forces of the 128 Separate Mountain Assault Brigade have fled the lines and the resistance is being mounted by ideologically savvy members of the AFU.

▪️ Units of the 99th Battalion of the 61st Mechanized Brigade have lost control of three observation posts and part of the 61st Brigade's forces have been withdrawn from the combat area to make up for their losses. On 6 January, two additional platoons have been moved into the vicinity.

Despite significant successes in #Soledar, it is premature to speak of full control of the settlement. At the moment, there are no signs of an AFU withdrawal from #Soledar.

♦️Northeast of #Bakhmut:

▪️ The Russians have dislodged combined units of the AFU's 60th Mechanized Brigade and 17th Tank Brigade from the #Podgorodnoye village, opening the way to encircle the #Bakhmut garrison from the north, and they have reached Krasnyaya Gora.

♦️#Bakhmut's Eastern and Southeastern Outskirts:

▪️ Wagner forces are advancing from the north of Fyodor Maksimenko Street to the south towards the rubbish plant, with almost the entire street under the control of the "Wagnerians".

▪️ In addition, the mop up of the gypsum plant on Patrice Lumumba Street has been completed and control over Trudovykh Reserve Street has been extended. The AFU is actively using underground communications to deter the offensive.

♦️South and Southwest of #Bakhmut:

▪️ Russian forces continue to storm Ukrainian strongholds in #Opytnoye and #Kleshchiyevka, the liberation of which will allow to encircle #Bakhmut completely and to take the communications from #Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar under fire control.

▪️ To contain the offensive, the AFU deployed 50 reserve fighters of the 60th Mechanized Brigade, two armoured groups of the 3rd Battalion of the 28th Mechanized Brigade, as well as a company of the 32nd National Guard Regiment and the "Karpaty" Forces of Special Operations.

▪️ To compensate for the losses of the AFU's 24th, 30th 60th, 61st and 63rd Mechanized Brigades, up to four thousand men with armoured vehicles will be transferred from the #Chernigov region from 20 January. Most likely, these will be units of the 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade and 93rd Mechanized Brigade, which are currently at the #Goncharovskoye training ground for supplementary recruitment.

▪️ In addition, artillerymen and tankers of the 60th Mechanized Brigade and 17th Tank Brigade, as well as tactical aviation aircraft from #Mirgorod (five Su-25 and two Mig-29) are indiscriminately shelling the Russian advance areas in #Soledar, #Bakhmut, #Kurdyumovka, #Andreyevka, #Podgorodnoye and on the approaches to Krasnaya Gora.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline Report for the Morning of 11 Jan 2023; pub. 09:09⚡️

♦️In the #Kherson direction, Russian rocket and barrel artillery struck the regional centre, the #Chernobaevka airfield and #Antonovka. In turn, the AFU launched a rocket attack on #Skadovsk deep in the rear of the RF Armed Forces. (Fig. 1)

♦️On the #Donetsk front, Russian forces were once again tearing at Victory. Fierce fighting in the city limits of #Maryinka. The AFU is holding the defence. Another attack by the RF Armed Forces on #Nevelskoye and #Pervomayskoye. In the second case, the price of success is control over a section of the M-04 highway and an important local rocket road that runs to 3Vodyanoye. To this end, the Russian army is also attacking this settlement. It has also attempted to move in the area of #Opytnoye. (Fig. 2)

♦️In the #Bakhmut sector, the Ukrainian army is engaged in heavy defensive battles near #Kleshchiyevka. The Wagner PMC is attacking its positions from the south and east. This settlement is also crossed by the #Bakhmut road. The Wagner PMC is also trying to advance on the eastern outskirts of the city itself. And from the north it is rushing towards #Yagodnoye. The #Bakhmut - #Soldar rockade is already there. The "orchestrators" have also advanced in the vicinity of Krasnaya Gora. Thus, the Wagner PMC is advancing on #Soledar from the south, east, and north. Fighting is also taking place within the city limits. The Ukrainian garrison is in a semicircle. The AFU is retreating from #Soledar, but not fleeing. To the northeast of the city, Russian troops are attacking in the vicinity of #Donetsk's #Belogorovka. (Fig. 3)

♦️In the #Lugansk direction, the RF Armed Forces attempted to advance already in the direction of the local #Belogorovka. Slightly to the north, they attacked near #Dibrovka. This is on the border of the wooded area near #Kremennaya. The Russian forces were also carrying out offensives near #Chervonopopovka. (Fig. 4)

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation at the Fronts on the Evening of 13 Jan2023; pub. 0:05⚡️

🏵 The disputes over the control of #Soledar are over - the Ministry of Defence has announced that the town is under our control. Only the involvement of Wagner PMC units appeared outside the department's daily summary, which provoked a great deal of criticism from experts and the public. But eventually the mistake was corrected and the direct involvement of the "orchestrator" assault groups in the capture of the city was officially acknowledged. In any case, although #Soledar is ours, the main thing is not to stop!

⚔️The Situation on the Fronts over the past Day

♦️
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

Russian artillery has worked on militant positions in the districts of #Krakhmalnoye and #Berestovoye in #Kharkov region. Also, artillery of Pskov paratroopers covered units of two AFU brigades in the #Grigorovka and #Serebryanka areas of the DPR.

♦️#Soldar Direction:

According to war correspondents, the Russian army began (https://t.me/readovkanews/50643) to liberate #Razdolovka north of #Soledar. Also today, assault action continued near #Sol station (a depot was taken under control), fighting for #Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora. Ours attacked the enemy in both directions from Soledar - both towards #Artyomovsk and #Seversk, expanding the bridgehead.

♦️#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction:

There is still fighting for Kleshchiyevka. There is street fighting in the southeastern quarters and in the industrial zone. Also the capture of #Opytnoye has had a strong impact on the onslaught of our troops. There are battles for #Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora. At this point it is too early to talk about operational encirclement of the city.

💥 Two Grad MLRS and Uragan MLRS have been discovered and destroyed in the areas of Krasny #Liman and #Seversk by the DPR.

💡The beginning of the special operation was remembered first and foremost for the daring actions of the Russian army - from the landing in #Gostomel to the "cavalry" dash to #Kherson. But later such desperate raids led to our withdrawal. By 2023, both sides had changed dramatically, so February 2022 was definitely not going to happen. So a revision of tactics is necessary. Which way? In our story.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 18:00 on 17 Jan 2023⚡️

♦️
#Soldar Section:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault units completely liberated the #Sol township yesterday, cutting off supplies between #Bakhmut and #Seversk and opening a bridgehead for access to the #Seversk agglomeration.

▪️ The remaining Ukrainian formations withdrew from the settlement to reserve positions on higher ground. A company of an unidentified AFU unit was moved from #Novoselidovka to the outskirts of #Krasnopolye.

▪️ The Russian offensive is currently continuing towards AFU strongholds in #Blagodatnoye, #Krasnopolye, #Razdolovka, #Veseloye, as well as on #Paraskovievka and Krasnaya Gora north of #Bakhmut.

♦️#Bakhmut:

▪️ Intense fighting is taking place in the urban development on the Patrice Lumumba and Trudovye Reserve streets and Maloye Troitsky lane.

▪️ The AFU sent one of the formations from the #Liman area to hold the garrison under #Bakhmut. In addition, personnel, reinforced with armored vehicles, from #Druzhkovka arrived in Chasov Yar.

▪️ In #Bakhmut, the forces of the AFU's 63rd Mechanized Brigade have been deployed to strengthen the defence on the southern outskirts of the town. However, movement inside the city is hampered by constant fire from Russian troops and a shortage of armoured vehicles.

▪️ At the same time, 150 of the soldiers recently mobilised and transferred to Bakhmut as reinforcement for the 60th Mechanized Brigade of the AFU have refused to fight.

▪️ It is planned to send one of the completed Battalions of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade to the #Soledar direction from 22 January to replace the forces of the AFU's 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade.

▪️ To compensate for losses, the Ukrainian command has increased the rate of mobilisation among the population by issuing summonses without a medical commission and without taking into account the health status of citizens.

▪️ Fighting for control of the village is ongoing. The AFU command has deployed forces of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade (Asov) and a unit of the 226th Kraken Special Forces Battalion to the village. The advance is complicated by the presence of numerous strongholds in houses and difficult terrain.

▪️ Ukrainian artillery is shelling the advance areas of the Russian assault troops with a barrage, and a HIMARS MLRS launcher is stationed in #Druzhkovka, constantly changing its firing position.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 17:00 on 1 Feb 2023⚡️

🔹
#Soldar Section:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault units are clearing the village of "Sakko and Vantsetti" and the surrounding area, and have also come close to #Nikolayevka, on the outskirts of which fighting is now taking place.

▪️ At the same time, the storming of the AFU strongholds in #Paraskoviyevka and Krasnaya Gora continues, where Russian troops are crushing the defences with the support of artillery.

▪️ As a result of a massive strike on strongholds on the hills west of #Blagodatnoye, more than a dozen Ulkrainian militants have been hit.

▪️ A unit of the AFU's 93rd Mechanized Brigade, which operated north of #Bakhmut, has been withdrawn to Chernigov Region to restore combat capabilities. Only 40 of the 200 militants survived.

🔹#Bakhmut:

▪️ The "Wagnerians" advanced near the meat processing factory to First Alebastro Street, consolidated control near the Champagne Wine Factory and took control of two positions in Zabahmutovka.

🔹Southwest of #Bakhmut:

▪️ Russian units drove out formations of the AFU's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade from the forest area northwest of #Kleshchiyevka.

▪️ In the direction of #Krasnoye, an advance was also noted.

📌 Despite the significant success, claims of an operational closure of #Bakhmut are premature at this stage. The AFU hold positions in the area and control of the route from Chasov Yar to #Bakhmut has not yet been established.
