⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 27 Jan 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️

📜 Reports continue to come in about the active storming of #Ugledar by our forces. Today details have emerged of the confrontation over the "dachas" - a private sector in the suburbs. The enemy could not be driven out of there at once, despite the deep advance, the fight was divided into several sections, their description is similar to the scenario of a blockbuster thriller. Some sources write that by the end of the day they managed to claw their way into the city, but there is no confirmation of this. And #Ugledar is all on fire from the mutual work of artillery and TOS, but ours continue to powerfully push through the stubborn AFU defence. (See on the map under number 1)

💥 A Ukrainian Su-25 was shot down by air defence near #Ugledar.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

♦️#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

Russian artillery hit enemy manpower and equipment near #Peschanoye and #Sinkovka, Kharkov region. M777 and D-20 artillery systems were destroyed. In addition, two AFU brigades in the Ostrovsky district of #Kharkov region and Stelmakhovka LPR were targeted by army aviation and artillery.

♦️#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction:

Wagner PMC fighters are crushing the enemy in the direction of #Blagodatnoye, but the militants are still holding the village. Fighting continues in the #Paraskoviyevka area, and our forces have entrenched themselves in the northern part of Krasnaya Gora. In #Artyomovsk itself, the "orchestrators" are fighting in the areas of the Meat Factory, Zabakhmutovka, as well as on the southern side of the city. In addition, our fighters are crushing militants in the vicinity of #Kleshchiyevka, advancing towards #Krasnoye and #Stupochka.

💥 Information about a Ukrainian Su-25 shot down over #Kramatorsk has surfaced online. At the moment, it is unknown how the attack aircraft was hit. There are versions both of the actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces and friendly 404 air defence fire. (See on the map under number 2)

▪️ In the #Soledar area, Wagner PMC units stormed AFU strongholds on the approaches to #Blagodatnoye, simultaneously advancing towards #Razdolovka under the cover of artillery.

▪️ Fierce fighting continues near #Paraskoviyevka. The advance is complicated by the fact that the AFU is bringing in reserves and preparing to launch a counterattack.

◾The situation in Vuhledar: an officer of the Donetsk Corps spoke about the current situation on the front line

◾According to the fighter, the offensive is moving forward, albeit by leaps and bounds, but it is. The enemy is firmly entrenched in urban areas and it is not easy to attack.

BATTLE FOR UGLEDAR BROKE OUT ON UKRAINIAN FRONT LINES

A clear illustration of what the Leopard 2 and Abrams tanks will have to do on the Ukrainian black soil, given the fact that they are a third heavier than the T-72M1. And to tow a damaged (faulty) Ukrainian tank, it took two (!) identical vehicles. Apparently, this is partly why, until the end of the thaw, they are in no hurry with the transfer of Western vehicles to the front-line units.

The yellow stripe of quick identification on the ejector of tank guns also draws attention.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 On the Downing of an Su-25 Attack Aircraft near #Kramatorsk; pub. 22:51⚡️

🔹 Today, reports emerged in the Ukrainian segment of the Telegram about a Su-25 attack aircraft being hit in the sky over #Kramatorsk and crashing somewhere in the vicinity. The press service of the Ukrainian Air South command said that it was a Russian aircraft. However, there is a 99% chance it was not.

▪️ The approximate area where the Su-25 fell is in the vicinity of #Shebelkovka near the #Kramatorsk reservoir. Russian aviation has been practically unable to go deep into Ukrainian territory since last summer because of the enemy's unsuppressed air defence systems.

Yes, in some cases, Su-34 front-line bombers can go several kilometers to drop bombs, but neither they, nor even Su-25s, fly near #Kramatorsk.

According to some information, the Wagner PMC aviation in this regard is somewhat less constrained in operations in comparison with the Aerospace Forces and can operate behind the frontline. But they also does not strike in the vicinity of the #Slavyansk agglomeration due to the large distance.

▪️ In addition, residents of #Kramatorsk were filming this afternoon a Su-25 flying over the city in the direction of #Seversk. The aircraft was shot down around 3pm and crashed west of the #Kramatorsk agglomeration.

The attack aircraft itself took off either from an airport in #Dnepropetrovsk or from the airfield in #Mirgorod in the #Poltava region, from where tactical aviation aircraft are active for flights in the #Kharkov region and over the AFU-occupied part of the DPR.

🔹 How was it hit?

➖ According to colleagues from Turned to War channel @voenacher, the Ukrainian Su-25 was shot down by a R-37 guided air missile from a Su-35S fighter jet, most likely while approaching #Kramatorsk. We do not know the exact route and rely only on the words of eyewitnesses.

➖ Another possibility is friendly fire. Ukrainian air defence units, as well as mobile MANPAD units, could have easily mistaken the Su-25 flying on a combat mission (or vice versa) for a Russian one and hit it.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by the US Troll Entity "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: Enjoy today's ramblings of the ISW Troll Entity strategic zeros .

🤡 In Zaporozhye it is relatively quiet, they are inventing something, while Ugledar in Southdonetsk direction is not mentioned at all. Otherwise, the trolls should look into the situation in Nazi Ukraine. It would be much more interesting instead of the constant fairy tales about Russia.

👻 By the way, the scammers have changed their scam script that fakes donations to them. For days now I have been getting a fake donation from another country displayed, then followed by the fake donation from the country where I am.

⛓ The whole gang belongs in the dungeon. I mean the medieval type below the tower.

🔻 January 27 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Kremlin insiders reportedly told Bloomberg that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing a new offensive to regain the initiative that may begin as early as February or March 2023.

▪️ The Kremlin confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is issuing preemptive pardons for convicts who serve in Russian operations in Ukraine.

▪️ A visual investigation by a Russian opposition outlet confirmed that Russian authorities are deporting children from occupied Kherson Oblast to occupied Crimea.

▪️ Russian officials denied reported explosions near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on January 26.

▪️ The Russian military command is likely attempting to restrict mibloggers’ frontline coverage to regain control over the Russian information space ahead of the new offensive. These restrictions—if planned—are likely a part of the Chief of the Russian General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov’s efforts to professionalize the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️ Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations near Kreminna on January 26 and January 27.

▪️ Russian forces continued ground attacks around Bakhmut, on the western outskirts of Donetsk City, and in western Donetsk Oblast.

▪️ Russian sources did not report that Russian forces continued localized offensive operations in Zaporizhia Oblast on January 27.

▪️ Russian officials claimed that the conscription age will not change in the upcoming 2023 spring conscription cycle.

▪️ Russian occupation authorities are continuing to intensify efforts to integrate occupied territories into the Russian legal and administrative structures.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎬 #Kinburn Peninsula is the AFU’s Cherished Goal - @Rybar's Video Analysis⚡️

⚠️ Same video as yesterday, but now 🇬🇧 dubbed (not only subtitled)!

📜 After the withdrawal of the Russian troops from the right bank of the #Dnepr, the enemy’s sabotage and reconnaissance groups do not stop attempting to infiltrate the territory of the #Kinburn Peninsula.

The bridgehead in #Kinburn is not only important for Ukrainian media image and ideology, but also as a military target. Taking control over #Kinburn Peninsula will make it possible to unblock the port of Nikolayev facilitate the supplies for the troops by sea.
