⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 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.

"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 )

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.
ㅤ
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.

HAHAHAH

⭐️About coherence in solving individual tasks while achieving the overall goals of the SMO

In one way or another, many ministries and departments of Russia participate in the SMO. Power plays a key role, of course. Tasks can be different, all are set out having good intentions to achieve the common goals.

One of the common goals is denazification - a set of measures aimed at cleansing the post-war Ukrainian society, culture, press, economy, education, jurisprudence and politics of the influence of Nazi ideology.

However, that high-profile goal has not yet been achieved. The Nazis in Ukraine raise their heads higher and higher, feel at ease and climb into politics. Don't re-educate them. Therefore, they must either go to jail or die on the battlefield as one of the most valuable resources for Kiev.

After the capture of Mariupol and the surrender of Azov, all TV channels and loud, respected announcers began to laugh out loud with the “extraction procedure” invented by Kiev. And then a respected person took the Nazis on a plane with tiramisu to exchange for Medvedchuk.

So today, Yermak from Zelensky’s office once again reported that out of the freshly exchanged, “87 are from Mariupol, 71 of them are from Azovstal.

We need to get our guys out. Exchange them for the devil himself.

The issue is that many respected people (and even leaders) discredited themselves by declaring that the Nazis had not been extradited. Then (in an effort to please the Supreme, apparently) they also tried to show Medvedchuk on all televisions, even Belarusian ones.

And here the question of coherence, subordination to a single goal is sometimes buried. An operation is seen by some as just a set of measures taken by different departments, coordinated according to the place of time and design. We have a special military operation. For now.

The question of coherence is not a question of endless coordination of formats and grammar of plans and reports. It is a matter of having a clear understanding of the goals of the SMO by all participants.

And this requires more than just abstract "denazification and demilitarization."

For example: complete and unconditional capitulation. And then we'll see.

Two Majors

Ukrainian servicemen fleeing from Bakhmut came under mortar fire, as a result of which grenade launchers in the back of the car were destroyed, and the vehicle itself was more malfunctioning, they would have to leave on foot.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 On multinational units and the importance of the ideological component

RT channel in Russian @rt_russian published a story about the Yenisei Cossack battalion. The unit is one of the most multinational ones at the front: Russians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Tajiks, Uzbeks, Kazakhs, Georgians and Roma serve there.

According to the soldiers, for all their differences, there is a friendly atmosphere on the battalion. Soldiers speak openly of their confidence in their comrades-in-arms who will cover them in combat. There is no talk of any internal conflicts for cultural or religious reasons.

The video demonstrates that even in the most multinational unit it is perfectly possible to avoid friction. Of course, the authority of the commander and his deputies, as well as the level of organization, play a huge role here. But there is also the ideological component: for example, one of the Chechen fighters said: “If Russia falls, we all fall.”

Having this a seemingly obvious idea in mind, each soldier knows exactly what he is fighting for. This allows them to keep high morale and discipline, which will make it possible to avoid most of the interethnic, domestic, and other conflicts in the unit.

🔻 A year of SMO clearly illustrated the need for simple and accessible truths that would answer the question "why all this is necessary." They lie on the surface, all that is left is to bring them to people in a comprehensible way. Without this, the mobilization of society is impossible.
