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

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: Once again, what the amateur strategists from ISW stutter together is boring as hell. I feel badly informed. 👉🚽

⚠️ 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 8 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin announced on March 8 that Russian forces captured all of eastern Bakhmut, a claim consistent with available visual evidence

▪️ Russian forces remain unlikely to exploit a breakthrough beyond Bakhmut if Russian forces capture the city.

▪️ The Kremlin may be attempting to establish a new Russian government-controlled armed formation billed as a volunteer unit through the Russian state-owned energy company Gazprom.

▪️ A US official denied that US intelligence assessed that a pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines in September 2022.

▪️ German and Polish officials announced that Germany and Poland will deliver 28 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine in March 2023, which will bolster Ukraine’s capabilities to conduct a counteroffensive amidst high Russian tank losses.

▪️ Russian forces continued to conduct ground attacks on the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations around Bakhmut on March 8 but have not succeeded in completing a turning movement around the city.

▪️ Russian forces continued offensive operations along the outskirts of Donetsk City.

▪️ Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces landed on the Dnipro River Delta islands for the third consecutive day.

▪️ The Kremlin is doubling down on reviving volunteer recruitment campaigns throughout Russia and occupied Ukraine.

▪️ Russian hospitals are continuing to form new medical centers in Russia in an effort to maximize the capacity for overfilling hospitals in occupied territories to treat wounded Russian servicemen.

◾There are no officers on the front line, sergeants are in charge. They promised to replace them in a couple of days, but they did not do so even on the third day. Then Russian servicemen took over the AFU positions, and the Ukrainians laid down their arms and surrendered.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector for the Evening of 9 Mar 2023; pub. 20:07⚡️

🔹 1. Eastern #Artyomovsk is for the most part either occupied or being mopped up by our troops. The enemy, as expected, has withdrawn to the western parts of the city, using the river, the industrial zone of the AZOM plant and residential areas in southwestern #Artyomovsk.
➖ There are no signs of a broken defence. The enemy is resisting rather orderly and fiercely, trying to maintain supply lines through the town of #Khromovo.

🔹2. The AFU Counterattacks near #Krasnoye, trying to unblock the road Chasov Yar - #Krasnoye - #Artyomovsk.
➖ Enemy forces in Chasov Yar are currently being used for counterattacks.

🔹 3. Since the Morning of 9 Mar, there have been reports of the liberation of Dubovo-Vasilyevka and increased pressure on #Bogdanovka.
➖ #Bogdanovka is one of the keys to the #Artyomovsk cauldron. If it is lost, the road through #Khromovo cannot be fully used. Then the enemy must use the field roads through the fields, which are now dilapidated, making it difficult to deliver ammunition, transport the wounded and rotate the AFU personnel in the city.

🔹 4. In #Artyomovsk City, four units of "Volkssturm", Georgian, Chechen and other mercenaries remain in the city.
➖ The AFU regular units are glimpsed there less and less frequently, which confirms the withdrawal of the best-trained enemy formations from #Artyomovsk.

📌 Foreign Formations and "Volkssturm" in the city can be sacrificed, but if successful, counterattacks will prevent the "bandwagon" from linking the southern and northern pincers around the city. In this case #Artyomovsk is assigned the role of a German Festung (fortress) from the end of World War II.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💡Russian Massive Missile Attack on #Ukraine; what is known at the End of the Day⚡️

💬 For the past few weeks, Ukrenergo representatives have been assuring the public that the situation in the energy sector has stabilised and the consequences of the Russian strikes have been fully overcome. Today has shown that these statements are untrue.

💥 Both large PPs and PSs across the country have been targeted.

🔹CHPP-5 in Kiev: damage to several boilers triggered a massive fire that spread to the engine room. Even if some boilers and turbines survived, the facility is unlikely to be operational soon.

The strike caused power cuts across the city and disruptions to the water supply. By mid-afternoon, the power supply had been restored.

🔹Kharkov: Blows completely cut off power supply in the city. At least 15 explosions were recorded.

The most likely targets were:
➖ PS Losevo 330;
➖ CHPP-3;
➖ CHPP-5;
➖ Novoselka Traction PS;
➖ PS 188 Zhukovsky 110/6kV.

There is still no stable electricity supply in the city, no heating and water in some places. Electric transport does not run, there are difficulties with cellular communication and the work of the railways.

🔹PS Zhytomyr 330: the extent of the damage is still unknown. By the end of 9 Mar, power supply in city and region had not been fully restored.

🔹Krivoy Rog TPP and Yuzhnaya 330 PS: the extent of damage to the facilities is unknown, but indirectly we can judge serious damage, as significant delays of passenger trains were recorded in the west of Dnepropetrovsk region.

🔹PS Ukrainka 330 in Kirovograd: the impact led to power outages and delays of passenger trains.

🔹Ladyzhyn TPP: indirect impact of the strike is confirmed by delays in movement of passenger trains on electrified railway lines.

🔹Odessa Region: the strike is believed to have hit one of the remaining PSs: Novoodessa 330, Adzhalyk 330 or Tsentrolit 220.

Given the continued growth of electricity imports from Moldova, the Usatovo 330 substation, which is working for transit, was not affected.

In Odessa Oblast, there was no voltage in the railway contact network, and passenger trains were delayed for a long time. Power restrictions have been imposed in the city and repair work is underway.

🔹In Dnepropetrovsk Region, the following substations have been hit:

➖PS Pavlograd 330: a 330/110kV autotransformer burned down.
➖PS Ferrosplavnaya 330: damage unknown, but power supply to ZNPP stopped.

In the afternoon, power supply to Ferrosplavnaya PS was restored. In Dnepropetrovsk itself, even the exterior lights were switched on in the evening.

This suggests that the city is supplied with electricity from the SouthUkraine NPP, and it is likely to be through the 750kV lines via the Dneprovska 750 and Zaporozhye 750 PSs.

🔹PS Lutsk North 330 in Volyn region: there were power outages as a result of the strike.

Also, strikes were recorded in Nikolayev, Lvov, Ivano-Frankovsk, Chmelnitsky, Ternopol, Poltava regions.

🔻What is the Outcome?

As a result of the missile strikes, the situation with power supply in #Kharkov came close to critical: there is no own generation, power from the Zmiyevs TPP because of damaged PSs is impossible, power from NPPs in western Ukraine simply does not reach the city.

The impact of today's strikes on train traffic is also notable - for the first time, some passenger trains were delayed by 3-4 hours. This indicates both the severity of the power supply problems and the lack of back-up diesel locomotives.

But we have to be realistic - in most regions the situation will stabilise in the next few days.

📌 To cause irreparable damage to the energy system of Ukraine, it is necessary to strike at the electrical equipment (block transformers) of base stations - NPPs and HPPs power stations, continuing to knock out still operating TPPs: primarily Zmievskaya, Tripolskaya and Burshtynskaya.
