Ukrainian War Crimes:

Only a few days ago, a group of Ukrainian conscripted soldiers decided to surrender to the DPR troops, but they were shoot in the back by their own colleagues.

In the video 4 Ukrainian soldiers advance towards Russian positions with their hands up, one of them is holding a white flag. Suddenly heavy machine gun fire from the Ukrainian side hits the group killing them. The footage has been posted in Ukrainian channels as a warning for other Ukrainian deserters.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦☠️ The Ukrainians shot their Own⚡️

🎬 The video shows four AFU soldiers raising a white flag and surrendering, then a few seconds later they were shot in the back. The shot came from the cameraman's side, slightly to the right of the shooting, which means they were from their own side. It means that they were friendly. You can also hear Ukrainian songs in the background.


But the video appeared on Ukrainian channels. There are no yellow armbands as they were taken off before the surrender as an annoying trigger to emphasize a white flag.

They say in the comms the Khokhols removed the staging for their own people not to surrender. Possibly, but silly as their own:

1. They can kill radical patriots and officers before surrendering.

2. This video will do much more damage to the image of Ukraine and the AFU.

It is not about the bounce of the bullet. There is field grass and soft soil under it, there will be no bounce.

As for accuracy. The distance was 70 meters, I can see quite a logical hit if the Nazi is not short-sighted.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Avdeyevka - Situation until 14:00 on 12 Mar 2023⚡️

🔹 North of
#Avdeyevka, Russian units attacked the AFU stronghold in #Krasnogorovka. As a result of intensive fighting, the RF Armed Forces entered the village and gained a foothold on its eastern outskirts. Clashes are now continuing in the central and western districts.

▪️ Despite the existing information about full control over #Krasnogorovka, the village has not yet been liberated and mopping up is under way. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian command has redeployed units of the Ukrainian National Guard's 1st Presidential Brigade to the area of the village to assist the defending forces.

▪️ Furthermore, the fighters of the RF Armed Forces, after establishing control over #Vesyoloye, advanced southwards along the dam and came close to the village of #Kamenka to the south of #Novoselyovka II.

📌 Tactical Success in this area and potential control of #Krasnogorovka with #Kamenka will allow the #Avdeyevka fortification to be physically encircled and further advance towards the railway line near #Petrovsky.

The supply of the AFU grouping on the outskirts of #Donetsk passes through the railway lines. Cutting this logistics hub will significantly reduce the Ukrainian formations' capabilities in #Avdeyevka and create the prospect of pushing the AFU out of the settlement.

Zelensky accused the Americans of lying because of the publications about the sabotage at the Nord Stream, noting that "the Ukrainians definitely did not do this"

A rare case: the Ukrainian leader publicly speaks the truth. The Ukrainians really did not do this, since they simply do not have such technologies to implement such a complex sabotage. But it really doesn't matter anymore. The owner made it clear who would be responsible for the high-profile incident in the future. The culprit has been appointed. No "excuses" and the translation of the arrows will not work.

“We are waiting for you Russia and Donbass”

One of ours subscriber said that they found such a drawing in the Donbass direction near the village of Dubovo-Vasilyevka in an already abandoned house.

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

🤥🇺🇸🇺🇦卐: Troll Copium for the stupid. Who is to confirm? There are no reported attacks on Svatovo. The Milblogger novices surely mean the sector. Yes, there the attacks of the Nazi hordes were repulsed and the Russians went on the counteroffensive, just filth what the US lying rabble scribbles together. 👉🚽

⚠️ 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 11 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Russian forces did not make any confirmed advances within Bakhmut on March 11.

▪️ Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that there is infighting in the Kremlin inner circle, that the Kremlin has ceded centralized control over the Russian information space, and implicitly that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot fix it.

▪️ Wagner financier Yevgeny Prigozhin said that he would transform the Wagner Group into a hardline ideological elite parallel military organization after the Battle of Bakhmut.

▪️ Ukrainian sources report that Ukrainian forces advanced toward Svatove.

▪️ Russian forces continue to establish fortifications in Zaporizhia Oblast.

▪️ Russian mobilized soldiers continue to publicize complaints that commanders treat them poorly and used them as expendable manpower to patch holes in existent formations.

▪️ Russian occupation officials use children’s healthcare to generate dependency on the Russian healthcare system.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Another few words on the poor quality of the AFU training in the West

The previous Military Chronicles and Rybar's joint analysis of the Ukrainian military personnel training quality at Western countries training grounds generated a real discussion among the channels.

▪️ @brussinf, a military correspondent present at the Bakhmut front lines, notes that the ways of using the Ukrainian units on the battlefield have changed. The enemy itself remains the same, except for the Ukrainian Special Operation Forces. According to @arbat, it all comes down to reinforcing weakly organized combat units with special forces groups, which is changing the battlefield layout.

▪️ @dva_majors write that the general politicization of the project will soon result in Ukrainian servicemen becoming instructors for NATO countries, as the latter ones still teach old information and skills. But they do train the AFU to use Western control and communication systems.

▪️ @pl_syrenka says that the quality of the AFU training according to NATO standards is best seen through the Polish Army example: there the exercises have long been reduced to "getting a ribbon".

❗️ In response, we’d like to add some comments to what our colleagues have said. Despite the problems connected to the training, there are some other non-obvious nuances.

🔻The arms shortage

The AFU have plenty of different types of weapons both the USSR- and NATO-made. The training in the EU countries is focuses on operating certain types of weapons, while the info about other arms is only given theoretically.

The instruction of the mobilized is even poorer: they are only supplied with equipment or weapons present on a particular training ground (e.g., in the U.K. they learn to use NLAWs, in France -  MILAN anti-tank systems). When they arrive at the front line, they face either a shortage of Western weapons or a complete lack of them.

🔻What "Western-style" warfare looks like in practice

The Ukrainian military is trained only at the battalion level or even lower. The idea of several brigades involvement in combat operations is deliberately ignored because of the NATO combat concept and lack of time to train so many people.

For sure, on the front lines the AFU command can be seen to be trying to apply units according to NATO's standards. But in reality there are just scattered units failing to interact and suffering losses because of organizational chaos.

The key training point is the assault operation: the use of light equipment and a quick breakthrough. The Russian Armed Forces have already adapted to it, and now such strikes are no longer effective.

An assault or relatively numerous reconnaissance actions are organized once every few weeks after a long preparation and accumulation of equipment, Often it doesn't meet the battlefield conditions requirements and can only be effective on paved roads or light off-road conditions.

In addition, the psychological factor should not be discarded: no one is preparing the AFU for real combat operations. Facing their first shelling or combat, soldiers or officers freeze.

🔻 What will these mistakes lead to?

Mostly counter-terrorist tactics and the shortage of heavy equipment make it impossible to fully use the Ukrainian army units both in defense and offensive. The AFU statements on the three army corps training are debatable: there is no reason to think that they will be used differently.

To train at least three brigades, the considerable amount of time is required. This task is unlikely to be accomplished before the end of 2023. And even if Ukrainian motorized riflemen and tank crews are taught to operate Bradleys or Leopards, it won’t solve the problem of mass inability to adapt to combat conditions after training abroad.

The only reason for the West to force the AFU training is to create numerical superiority at the front – all these soldiers will be extremely needed in combat operations in the spring and summer of 2023.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 17:00 on 12 Mar 2023⚡️

🔹
#Bakhmut Sector Northwest:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault squads broke through Ukrainian defences across fields south of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka after their first unsuccessful attempt to attack AFU positions near the village.

▪️ As Military Chronicles sources @milchronicles suggest, the settlement itself consists of four well-fortified strongholds. At the moment, a confident control over two has been established, the cleanup is underway on the third and fourth. Near the village cemetery, 30 people from the 30th Mechanized Brigade and 116th Territorial Defence Brigade of the AFU Have been killed.

▪️ The AFU is trying unsuccessfully to retake the lost territories. Ukrainian formations are suffering losses due to difficulties in evacuating the wounded, a lack of reconnaissance and logistics support and insufficient fire support. Mortar and artillery crews have been restricted in their consumption of ammunition.
Meanwhile, several attacks have already been carried out by the 1st Special Forces unit of the 71st Jager Brigade, supported by a tank platoon of the AFU's 4th Tank Brigade. As a result of the battles, the Wagnerians destroyed two tanks, and the 71st Jager Brigade alone lost about 120 men killed and wounded in two days.

▪️ The Ukrainian formations have now retreated to the #Golubovka area, with the seriously wounded being transferred to #Slavyansk and #Liman. From #Minkovka, #Golubovka and #Privolye, the AFU are shelling the Wagnerian offensive areas with artillery and mortars.

🔹#Bakhmut:

▪️ Russian units have advanced slightly in the Budenov district south of #Bakhmut centre, improving their tactical position and levelling the front line.

🔹#Bakhmut Sector Southwest:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault squads have approached close to the highway to #Konstantinovka. The attack on the AFU positions is taking place on the #Konstantinovka- #Krasnoye and #Krasnoye - #Bakhmut sections of the road. A mortar battery has been moved from #Slavyansk to #Konstantinovka to support the AFU.

📌 Advancement in the northwest along the #Slavyansk route allows the buffer zone near #Bakhmut to expand and secure the flanks against counterstrikes by the AFU. In the #Slavyansk - #Kramatorsk agglomeration are are large reserves accumulated, which under certain circumstances can be 👉 thrown into battle to restrain Russian fighters.

In addition, movement in this direction creates the prospect of a further offensive in two directions. To encircle the #Seversk agglomeration, which, together with the 👉 activation of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division in the #Serebryanskoye forestry area, is very logical, as well as to bypass the large fortified area in Chasov Yar.

The town is situated on the dominant heights relative to the areas from which the Wagnerians are now advancing. A frontal attack is extremely dangerous because of the terrain, and an assault on Chasov Yar would be like an assault on #Ugledar from the lowlands.

The simultaneous advance to the north with successes in the south of #Bakhmut and southwest of the city pins the AFU formations in one area, which in the face of a shortage of ammunition for Ukrainian artillerymen allows us to develop success.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Analysis on the Situation in the #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) Sector on the Night of 13 Mar 2023; pub. 00:59⚡️

🔎
@voenkorKotenok analysed the Situation in #Artyomovsk direction together with @boris_rozhin.

🔹1. Our Main Efforts in recent days have been focused on advancing north of #Artyomovsk.
Fighting is taking place in the direction of #Khromovo. Our troops have not yet entered the village itself.
All the previous reports that the enemy is retreating from there are untrue. The enemy, realizing the value of #Khromovo, has organized a very dense defence in this area.
To the north of #Khromovo, very serious fighting is taking place. Our assault groups occupy one landing after another, but each one takes time and effort to dislodge the enemy, advance towards the settlement and fight to capture it.
📌 The loss of #Khromovo would mean the closure of the #Artyomovsk cauldron, so the enemy is trying to cling to it with all its might.

🔹2. #Bogdanovka has not entered yet either. Fighting is taking place on the outskirts of the settlement.
⚠️ Regarding the March 12 statements about the capture of Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, no one has entered it yet. There is movement towards it, the fighting is taking place on the approaches. All statements about its full or partial capture are clearly ahead of events.

🔹3. The Wagner PMC is not only storming the city itself, but also trying to build on its successes to the northwest of the city in order to encircle the AFU grouping, which is in a half-ring jammed in #Bakhmut.

🔹4. Southwest of #Artyomovsk, our troops did not enter #Krasnoye. The enemy has created a very dense defense here, which is supported by counterstrikes in the direction of #Kleshchiyevka from the direction of Chasov Yar, where serious AFU reserves are concentrated.
📌 In their current form, these reserves are sufficient for more serious brigade-level counterstrikes to push our forces back from at least one of their flanks around #Artyomovsk in order to remove the operational encirclement of the city.

🔹5. The Enemy may attempt to push back our troops from #Krasnoye and restore supply along the Chasov Yar - #Krasnoye - #Artyomovsk road, and recapture #Yagodnoye and #Berkhovka.

🔹6. Within the City, our troops are assaulting enemy positions at the AZOM plant, where there are tactical successes.
There is progress in the southern districts of the city, the ruins of the aeroplane monument are still under enemy control.
Zabakhmutka is being cleaned up. There is a gradual advance towards the centre of the city from the side of Zabahmutka. No quick breakthroughs are expected yet. Everything depends on the situation to the north of the city.
📌 To the extent that Wagner successfully advances on #Bogdanovka, #Khromovo, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka and a number of other settlements, the situation will deteriorate for #Ukraine as a whole.

Tired of Bahkmut Ukrainian military driven to despair by their own command.

Exhausted Ukrainians no longer believe in Zelensky's fairy tales that Artemivsk (Bakhmut) will not be surrendered. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, which do not feel the support of their own artillery and do not have enough infantry due to huge losses, are suppressed and are on the verge.

#Summary #Report as of March 12, 2023

The initiative at the front remained in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces, the main events took place in the Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) region. The enemy is preparing reserves for a counteroffensive in several directions.

In particular, in Artyomovsk, PMC "Wagner" crossed the river Bakhmutka and make their way to the center of Artyomovsk. From the north, our assault units entered the territory of the Artyomovsky Metal Processing Plant (AZOM). The plant has a vast territory and underground communications. This week, they reported taking control of the settlement. Dubovo-Vasilyevka northwest of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). Today, Prigozhin denied the transition of the settlement. Orekhovo-Vasilyevka to the control of Wagner PMC.

The enemy here is trying to form reserves, but they are hit by artillery. However, in public, Kiev does not give up the idea of counterattacking in Artyomovsky.

On the section from Kupyansk to Kremennaya , fighting is going on, the advance is slow, the personnel are being protected. Our familiar military correspondents report the presence of trained Special Forces groups and intelligent command in the T-90 direction. At the same time, the terrain for work is difficult, the enemy is constantly counterattacking.

In the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces are attacking the area of the settlement. Krasnogorovka. They report the release of n.p. Veseloe on the northern ledge of the front section. To the south, fighting is in the area of Experimental and Vodyanoe.

The Maryinsky sector of the front is characterized by the actions of the Russian Armed Forces in Maryinka itself and in the south-west, in the area of the settlement Pobeda. There is a plan to go out on the road to Ugledar. The enemy uses powerful EW installations.

At the end of the week, the Ugledar sector became more active, but there were no changes in the front. Artillery shelling, manoeuvring with fire from rocket-propelled artillery brigades and counter-battery fighting continues.

From the Zaporozhye sector, information is being received about the concentration of several tens of thousands of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers behind enemy lines, whose task will supposedly be to be thrown at Melitopol.

In the Kherson region, fighting continues on the islands, the enemy is conducting reconnaissance, a high concentration of artillery gunners from among the enemy agents in our rear.

Massive strikes were delivered deep into the enemy territory, energy infrastructure facilities were hit.

Problems persist on the information front, in an attempt to raise their reputation, unknown officials coined the phrase "act of retaliation" as a description of regular strikes on enemy rear lines.

Logistics issues are still acute. From a number of directions it is reported that the fighters of the Russian Armed Forces decided to change into “authorized camouflage”, now the servicemen are asking volunteers to supply camouflage of the established colours. For various reasons, uniforms from the Ministry of Defence of front-line soldiers are not always satisfactory in terms of quality.

In general, the winter campaign is over. Intensification of operations at the front is expected after the end of the spring thaw. Probably, the Russian Army at the beginning of the spring-summer campaign will build its up defence strategy.

Summary prepared by: Two majors
