⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the evening of 22 Feb 2023; pub. 05:04⚡️

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

🔹#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Direction:

➖ Wagner PMC fighters are in control of most of #Berkhovka, while heavy fighting is taking place in #Yagodnoye.
➖ In #Artyomovsk, our forces have occupied the residential area along Vatutina Street, also the "orchestrators" have entrenched themselves in the area of the meat processing plant.
➖ Southwest of the city, ours regained positions near the road to #Konstantinovka, approaching the southeastern edge of #Krasnoye.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

➖ The Russian army continues to drive the militants out of #Maryinka. Fighting is taking place on the southern outskirts of the town. Ours are advancing quite successfully.
➖ The Russian Ministry of Defence also reported the destruction of five armoured vehicles, six vehicles and up to 250 militants.

🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:

➖ There are reports of fighting between #Pavlovka and #Nikolskoye, also ours are trying to attack from the direction of the South Donbass Mine. Our artillery has done a good job near #Ugledar.

💥 A Ukrainian Su-25 was shot down on approach to Novaya Kakhovka with the help of Verba MANPADS.

💡 A Trojan horse in the form of an MTLB has been spotted in the #Svatovo - #Kremennaya direction. The scheme is simple - an unmanned transporter is stuffed with high-explosive bombs and TNT, and there it is already on a good journey to the positions of the AFU. The result - a forest plantation in the detonation zone shatters to pieces.

◾This are Karpatska Sitch. A Nazi unit of the Ukrainian Army with many foreign members, the unit has been white washed by western media to the extenuation. Latest example an article from today:

-Almost a year later, he is a seasoned fighter and has swapped his welding tools for a PK machine gun. His unit, part of the Karpatska Sich battalion, contains around 50 foreign fighters including Brazilian, Colombian and American soldiers. Three other British fighters have been in hospital for several weeks after being concussed by a tank shell.

◾Previous articles from French media, article from Reuters, or NBC news are other examples of how foreign mercenaries and Neo Nazis top up the units of the Ukrainian Army.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 23 Feb 2023; pub. 09:09⚡️

🔹 In the #Zaporozhye Direction, Russian troops attempted to advance towards #Novodanilovka after an artillery preparation. The AFU repulsed the attack.

🇪🇸
Combatientes de Wagner alcanzan posiciones enemigas en Bakhmut con un ataque de artillería.

🇬🇧
Wagner fighters reach enemy positions in Bakhmut with an artillery attack.

The new tactics of the Russians shocked the Armed Forces of Ukraine: MTLB smashed their positions to shreds
The militant showed the result of using an armored vehicle with explosives.
An empty "vehicle" arrived at the strong point, the Ukrainian military approached the armored car and it exploded. Earlier it was reported that in the MTLB there were wires for demining and bombs, and up to 50 militants were killed during a remote detonation.

The story of one unbelievable lie that everyone believed

A clear infographic of the NATO's expansion — the military alliance that was originally coined to be against Russia.

A NEW FRONT IN THE SMO?

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Eugene Prigozhin, Head of Wagner on Ammo⚡️

"It was reported at 6am this morning that the shipment of ammunition was starting. The train has most likely moved. It is still on paper, but we have been told that the main papers have already been signed.

I would like to thank all those who helped us make this happen. You have saved hundreds, maybe thousands of lives of the guys who are defending their homeland, you have given them a chance to go on living. Their mothers and their children will not receive coffins with their bodies.

Many thanks to those who did this in different ways - to those ordinary citizens who did what they could, and to those who were, including those in high places, putting pressure and making decisions.

And also, of course, to those who provided the last straw for us to start getting ammunition. Thank you. From the guys, thank you."

⚠️ Also @brussinf and others reported on the problem.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th Brigade

The snow is very hot now.
1. Belogorivka - counter-tough battles. The enemy is attacking with the aim of preventing our forces from hitting the flank at the Rozdolivka - Vesele border.
2. Vasyukivka - Zaliznianske frontier - positional battles without success for the enemy. Regrouping is underway, the enemy is concentrating reserves. The direction of this group is a blow to the rear of the Siver group of troops.
3. Berkhovka everything is lost. Cleaning Fierce battles in Yagidny. Access to the reservoir complicates the logistics of the grouping of our troops, but does not make it critical.
4. East, south, southwest - no changes. Orcs fail to take physical control of the Bakhmut-Kostyantynivka route.
5. Kurdyumivka - counter battles. Without advancing on the enemy. The enemy built a defense here so as not to receive a blow to the flank of his troops.
In general, taking into account the situation in the southwest - there is no question of the environment yet. But the state of affairs in the north is a very alarming sign.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut & Situation in the #Soledar Sector until 14:00 on 23 Feb 2023⚡️

🔹#Bakhmut Sector Northwest:

▪️ According to some reports, Ukrainian formations have retreated from #Berkhovka and the village has come under full control of the Wagner PMC assault squads. A sweep of the village is now underway.
➖ Fighting for the village took place over the past few days, and yesterday the Wagner forces crushed the AFU militants on the western outskirts. Overnight Ukrainian units withdrew to Dubovo-Vasilevka and #Yagodnoye.

▪️ The storming of the village of #Yagodnoye, where the AFU had moved reinforcements the day before, is continuing. At the moment clashes continue near the Bakhmut nursery, where Ukrainian paratroopers are entrenched.

📌 The liberation of #Berkhovka makes it possible to completely cut off the supply of the Ukrainian grouping in #Bakhmut via roads in the village and nearby. Furthermore the onslaught on nearby Dubovo-Vasilevka and #Yagodnoye will be increased.

Currently, the AFU command is trying to hold the #Yagodnoye - Stupki area in #Bakhmut with all its might until a new defence line is built near Chasov Yar. Strongholds are being set up in #Bogdanovka to defend the town.

🔹#Soledar Sector:

▪️ Russian troops have also conducted a reconnaissance battle on the #Zaliznyanskoye - #Vasyukovka line. Kiev fears a breakthrough of the defences in this area and an entry into the rear of the AFU grouping in Seversk agglomeration.

▪️ At the moment, paratroopers of #Ukraine's 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade and 81st Separate Airmobile Brigade are trying to retake lost positions in the direction of #Veseloye northeast of #Soledar and #Belogorovka* west of #Lisichansk.

⚠️ *Belogorovka is, according to other sources, still controlled by AFU, also MoD reported no takeover.
