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

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: Today there is a lot of military stuff, in other words, the militants of the terrorist regime are on the defensive everywhere. At least, according to the poor military situation report by the US amateur milbloggers. 👉🚽

⚠️ 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.

🔻 March 6 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Ukrainian authorities indicated that Ukraine will continue to defend Bakhmut for now.

▪️ Bakhmut is not intrinsically significant operationally or strategically as ISW has previously observed. But Ukraine’s fight for Bakhmut has become strategically significant because of the current composition of Russian forces arrayed in the area. The Battle of Bakhmut may, in fact, severely degrade the Wagner Group’s best forces, depriving Russia of some of its most effective and most difficult-to-replace shock troops.

▪️ Wagner Group head Yevgeny Prigozhin apparently fears that his forces are being expended in exactly this way. The severe degradation or destruction of the elite Wagner fighting force would have positive ramifications beyond the battlefield.

▪️ The Kremlin is returning to its previously unsuccessful volunteer recruitment and crypto-mobilization campaigns to avoid calling the second mobilization wave. The return of the voluntary recruitment and crypto-mobilization campaigns likely indicates that the Kremlin will not launch another mobilization wave at least before the summer 2023 due to spring conscription cycle on April 1.

▪️ A reportedly captured Russian military manual suggests that Russian forces intend to use the newly created “assault detachment” elements in urban warfare.

▪️ Russian forces utilized a new type of guided aerial bomb against Ukrainian targets amid continued precision missile shortages.

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

▪️ Russian forces secured territorial gains in Bakhmut but have not yet encircled the city or forced Ukrainian forces to withdraw.

▪️ Russian forces continued to conduct ground attacks near Avdiivka and west of Donetsk City.

▪️ Russian forces continue struggling to maintain fire control over the Dnipro River Delta in Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Russian military command is failing to properly equip its forces despite forces increasingly conducting close combat in Ukraine.

▪️ Ukrainian officials reported on alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

Austrian military expert Reisner said in an interview with RND that the losses on the Ukrainian side are very high. He noted that "thanks to the ongoing pressure in Artemovsk, Russia was able to prevent the Ukrainian offensive in the Melitopol region for the time being."

Ukrainian War Crimes:

A Nazi with the call sign "Botko" in the Nazi regiment "Azov" was one of those who committed terrible crimes on the territory of Mariupol. After surrendering, he admitted that he killed civilians almost for fun.

It is striking that no one ordered to open fire from a machine gun on unarmed Ukrainian militants. He did everything according to his personal ugly animal desire.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector as in the Evening of 7 Mar 2023; pub. 23:54⚡️

🔹 1. The Situation for the Enemy in the city has deteriorated overnight. There are results of fire control over the roads.

🔹 2. Despite Reports of Withdrawal of some units, the enemy does not abandon attempts to hold the defences in the western and part of the central parts of the city.
There is a political objective to hold #Bakhmut at all costs, which is being met by hard defences within the city limits and attempts to hold the townships of #Krasnoye, #Khromovo and #Bogdanov, despite pressure from Wagner assault squads near #Bogdanov and #Krasnoye.
There is pressure from the West to abandon #Bakhmut, but Kiev has become hostage to its propaganda campaign to hold the town.

🔹 3. There is a Redeployment of reserves to hold the city, which were intended for the #Kupyansk, Krasny #Liman and #Zaporozhye directions. They are insurance in case Wagner breaks through AFU defences near #Khromovo and closes the cauldron. Then the reserves will be used for counterstrikes near #Berkhovka, #Yagodnoye and #Khromovo.

🔹 4. Part of the Reserves have already been deployed for counterstrikes in the direction of #Kleshchiyevka and #Krasnoye. Their task is to push back our troops from the road to #Bakhmut via #Krasnoye and formally continue supplying the defending forces in the city, bringing in at least something at night despite shelling.
The road is now virtually inaccessible. Attempts by AFU counterattacks to deblock it have failed due to the good work of our attackers, spotters and Wagner artillery, which have dampened the enemy's efforts.

🔹 5. Prigozhin Stressed that the shell conflict with the Ministry of Defence is still unresolved. Hardware friction should affect the pace of the operation in #Artyomovsk.
Defence Minister Shoigu said today that the enemy lost 11,000 men in #Artyomovsk in February.
Prigozhin noted that the enemy has 12-20 thousand people in #Artyomovsk (the city, #Krasnoye, #Khromovo, and Chasov Yar).
Part of the enemy reserves are concentrated near Chasov Yar. They intend to use operational reserves near #Konstantinovka and #Kramatorsk in case the crisis becomes operational.

🔹 6. In the Middle and Third Week of March they will have the question of a final withdrawal from the city or a road deblocking.
The AFU in #Artyomovsk has a certain stockpile of arms and ammunition, including heavy weapons, but with the roads cut off and the intensity of fighting like this, the stockpile will be used up very quickly. The situation in #Severodonetsk and #Mariupol will repeat itself, when the enemy defended in the presence of heavy weapons, but after the ammunition for tanks, "Grads" ran out, it became much harder for them and much easier for us.
📌 Therefore, supply issues play a crucial role in predicting the pace of the liberation of the city.

🔹 7. By the Evening of 7 March 2023. 45-52% of Bakhmut's territory is under the control of Wagner PMC assault squads.

Ukrainian Neo Nazi member of Right Sektor Dmitry Kotsyubaylo, who was decorated as "Hero of Ukraine" by president Zelenskiy have been eliminated in Bakhmut according to Ukrainian sources.

"PMC "WAGNER" DESTROYED A SIGNIFICANT UKRAINIAN COMMANDER. AND THIS IS A TREND.

Dmitry Kotsyubaylo, who was killed on March 7 in Artyomovsk, was not just a battalion commander of the 67th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he was one of the founders of the Ukrainian Nazi organization "Right Sector" and fought under the GUR, not just "meat" from a special recruitment, but a man from ward groups, with a great history.

So what is the meaning of your attention to this event? Yes, the fact that the death of significant Ukrainian commanders is a trend of the current period of the NWO. There was a change of place. The first year we lost our commanders: Volodya Zhoga "Vokha", Olga Kachura "Korsa", Yegor Gorshkov "Volga" ...

Now the losses of the creators of the Ukrainian nationalist movement have begun. And this means that Kyiv already has to throw such people into battle. This means that the ones for which the soldiers go into battle on their own, without persuasion and coercion, are already running out.

I want to be honest: we also had such a difficult period of the NMD, quite a long one, it was hard to get people into battle, especially not soldiers of Donbass. Those who raised the fighters to attack, even the generals, perished. Now a galaxy of attack aircraft has been born in the Ministry of Defense, and in PMCs, and in mobilized units.

We jumped out of that dangerous hole, jumped out and went forward, gaining strength. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the contrary, are losing their potential before our eyes, and are sliding into a deadly pit louder and louder. Significant commanders are trying to prevent the collapse, but they themselves are dying, destroyed by our forces.

I have an interesting thought, which today not everyone will like: if the current enemy were not infected with the black idea of Nazism, such commanders could fight against NATO together with us. For the freedom of Ukraine. Perhaps many Ukrainian military will come to this idea, it would not be too late."
NOT THE ONION: US intelligence says US intelligence not behind Nord Stream 2 pipleline, it was some other "pro-Ukrainian group" NYT reports.

NYT claims: "Officials said there were still enormous gaps in what U.S. spy agencies and their European partners knew about what transpired."

Maybe they should read Seymour Hersh's article on how the US actually did it? (Link to Hersh's article: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-took-out-the-nord-stream )

Las Fuerzas Armadas ucranianas pierden a sus mejores combatientes en las batallas de Bajmut

"Ya dije a principios de febrero que no tenía sentido retener Bajmut, porque es una picadora de carne", lamenta el ex vicesecretario del Consejo de Seguridad ucraniano, el general Sergey Krivonos.

Según él, los rusos conservaron a sus soldados en las batallas por Bajmut, mientras que las AFU perdieron a sus mejores combatientes.

The commander of the assault detachment, who participated in the operation to liberate the village of Krasnaya Gora, shared information about the situation in the Bakhmut direction and some details of the assault on the settlement.

According to the "musician", almost all assault operations were carried out at night - they pulled out tasks based on existing experience.

In addition, the "Wagnerian" stressed that advances at the front could be more active if the company received the necessary weapons and ammunition in a timely manner.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 On the destroyed AFU Convoy at #Krasnoye⚡️

Today (7 Feb) footage of a destroyed convoy of Ukrainian equipment retreating from #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) has appeared on the net.

After the main bridge to Chasov Yar was destroyed, the enemy is forced to use country roads, which have become virtually impassable in the spring mud.

Trying to hide personnel and armoured vehicles in a wooded area, the convoy got stuck to the west of the village of #Krasnoye.

Coordinates: 48.572335, 37.874557

It was then almost completely destroyed by howitzer and rocket artillery fire. Thanks to the thermal imaging camera on the UAV's camera, a pinpoint hit was ensured.

The next morning, a passing cameraman in an APC captured the result.
