⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ 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.

◾“Who are we for Zelensky? He said we'll kill everyone! That's all love!" — residents of Kremennaya survive under daily shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

◾ The city of Kremennaya in the west of the LPR, in the vicinity of which hostilities returned in the autumn, every day suffers barbaric shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, although there is not a single military facility in the city itself. Because of this, Kremennaya is simply gradually turning into ruins.

- “They do not like the Russian-speaking population. We will be left without a home, without a roof over our heads, and they hit the avenues, the bazaars, they hit only civilians! ”The local grandfather comments emotionally.

Small UAV quadrocopters have become an integral part of combat operations. Reconnaissance, fire adjustment, destruction of personnel and equipment - these are the tasks that UAVs solve in war.

Change in the front line for the year SMO⚡️⚡️

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

⚠️ Warning. ISW is a troll entity linked to the US regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.

💬 The text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: From the parallel universe of American trolls. 👉🚽

🔻 February 24 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ The Kremlin did not comment on the first anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, likely because Russia has failed to achieve any of its stated objectives and has not made significant territorial gains since July 2022.

▪️ A Russian source capitalized on China's release of a 12-point peace plan to inaccurately portray China as supporting Russia's war in Ukraine.

▪️ US intelligence reportedly continues to assess that China is seriously considering sending lethal aid to Russia amid continued pressure from Western sanctions regimes on Russia's defense industrial base.

▪️ Western governments made a variety of statements on the provision of military aid to Ukraine on February 24.

▪️ The Kremlin escalated its information condition-setting for a possible false-flag operation in occupied Transnistria, Moldova.

▪️ Russian forces continued to conduct ground attacks northwest of Svatove and near Kreminna.

▪️ Russian sources confirmed that Russian forces have split certain Airborne (VDV) force formations across at least two axes of advance.

▪️ Russian forces made marginal territorial gains around Bakhmut and continued to conduct ground attacks across the Donetsk Oblast front line.

▪️ Ukrainian officials suggested that Russian forces may feel insecure in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Russian authorities continue measures to expand the capacity of Russian peacekeepers.

▪️ Russian sources likely attempted to shift the blame for scandals associated with Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) commanders to the conventional Russian military.

▪️ Ukrainian partisans likely blew up a railway segment near Poshtove, Crimea.

Attack at Belogorovka: our troops took the enemy fortified area
▪️The footage from the UAV shows how well the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have dug in in this square - trenches have been dug several tens of meters, firing points and bunkers have been prepared, R. Kadyrov said.
▪️On the footage, the liquidation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the help of a thermal imager.
▪️It is also very hot in the Kremennaya area in the LPR. Here, Russian drones revealed several concentrations of enemy manpower, which were hit by artillery.
▪️And such successes in every direction. The brave sons of Russia regularly beat the enemy, honorably fulfilling their sacred duty to protect our great Motherland.

⚡️🇷🇺🪖🦝 Tonight no Russian Special Forces we Love⚡️

🚨 Finally, I have to say that unfortunately, no coon and no highlights tonight and tomorrow morning. I just can't make it. I've lost too much time with the failed attempt to bake bread and pizza. I don't have the right oven. Plus the new 13:00 recap is very hard work. I don't know if I can continue this. Then 2 Rybar reports came in just after the break and the kitchen now looks like a battlefield. 😿

🛌 Good Night (or whatever)! 🌙

Those who say that the Bakhmut plant of non-ferrous metals (also known as AZOM) is our "fortress" and the new Azovstal, we hasten to reassure you. Orcs will not storm it. The maximum - we will be taken into the ring, and then it will be as in Mariupol. They didn't particularly storm Azovstal either, and they won't do it all the more now. They have one tactic in Bakhmut - to go around the city on the flanks, create a threat to the environment and force us to leave it ourselves

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th brigade.

👉👉👉 Especially for all the emotional souls who cursed the Ugledar offensive. 😉😉😉

Back from the "no-go zone" again and again I read from our military experts that the Ukrainians have driven us away from the northern dachas and are already attacking the southern ones (between Pavlovka and Nikolskoye). Even the respected Two Majors put such information in their bulletin of February 22. I report from the field - at the northern dachas the Ukrainians has no success, our forces managed to replace the assault groups, which for three weeks were fighting with the enemy for these houses, with fresher forces and the Ukrop continues to lose manpower and equipment in this area. From what I can confirm for myself - yesterday two enemy tanks were burned, the day before yesterday a Baja, which was chased all day, was destroyed and three days ago another box of Ukrainians with a landing force, which dared to drive up to the cottages, was hit with a grenade launcher. In the western part of the southern dachas, the enemy's resistance persists, the assault on these houses is daily, the sides suffer mutual losses, but there is progress. Funny people in Telegram keep posting incomprehensible videos, where any hit equipment is signed as 155th Guards, and intimidated captives read the text under dictation that the entire brigade has been destroyed 6 times, and the Ukrainians cannot go to the dachas because they are afraid of ghosts (apparently).

Recently I was able to talk to the storm troopers who stormed the northern dachas on January 24 and fought for three weeks under the threat of being surrounded. The guys were heroes, they repulsed 6 counterattacks, drew fire on themselves and in principle all agree that the hardest period of the assault was from January 25 to February 1, after that the Ukrainians, washed with blood, slowed down in this area. In principle, this is also confirmed by the radio intercepts, where we can ascertain from the ear of the as a decrease in the fighting spirit and an increase of complaints about the difficult situation for two weeks now. I will try in the nearest time to tell about the feat of storm troopers at the northern dachas, but meanwhile as an announcement the photo of the AFU T-64 which was hit by marines-assault rifles and dared to roll right up to the northern dachas. The next day the vehicle was set on fire with a grenade tossed inside, as it was too dangerous to tow it and take it out of the way.
