⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector as of 18:24 Moscow Time on 17 Mar 2023⚡️

🔹North:

➖ Fighting continues for #Khromovo, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, #Bogdanovka. The enemy has brought in some reserves in an attempt to hold key settlements that prevent our forces from closing the encirclement ring west of #Artyomovsk.
➖ Nevertheless, the AFU has not been able to solve the city's operational encirclement problem, which continues to lead to an increase of losses in the west of the city.

🔹South:

➖ Fighting continues near #Krasnoye. To the south of the city there is an advance by the Wagner PMCs near #Kurdyumovka.
➖ There is also an advance east of #Krasnoye towards #Khromovo. The road through #Krasnoye is under confident fire control.
➖ The enemy claims that the Wagner PMC wants to reach #Khromovo from the north and south and close the ring on the western outskirts of the city.

🔹City:

➖ Fighting continues in the city centre area, the AZOM plant industrial zone and southwestern quarters of the city. The enemy complains of increasing casualties and supply problems.
➖ Nevertheless, there is no disintegration of the organised defence and the number of prisoners is still small.

📌 Supply is key to the duration of the defence in the western part of the city. The persistence of the defence is due to plans to launch a counterstrike to ease the situation for the troops in the city.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 17 Mar 2023; pub. 00:15⚡️

🔥 A Number of Sources report massive attacks on critical infrastructure across 404. "Geraniums" have been spotted in #Kiev, #Kharkov, #Dnepropetrovsk, #Rovno regions. An oil depot in #Novomoskovsk, #Dnepropetrovsk region has been hit and a huge fire broke out on the site.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

🔹#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

➖ The RF Armed Forces have occupied several enemy strongholds near #Gryanikovka (in #Kupyansk sector), thus forcing the militants to retreat to the right bank of the #Oskol River.
➖ Meanwhile, soldiers of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division continue their offensive near #Kremennaya. Our forces have gained a foothold to the west of #Chervonopopovka.

🔹#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector:

➖ "Orchestrants" are advancing towards #Grigorovka to the west of Dubovo-Vasilyevka.
➖ Also ours continue to squeeze the AFU from the AZOM plant and the southwestern quarters of #Artyomovsk. There are reports of an "orchestrator" controlling around 70% of the city.
➖ Furthermore, our advance in the direction of #Khromovo, and the road through #Krasnoye is under fire control.

🔹#Donetsk & #SouthDonetsk Directions:

➖ The Russian army is fighting fiercely in the centre of #Maryinka. At the moment, most of the town is under the control of the RF Armed Forces, but the enemy continues to resist.
➖ After capturing #Krasnogorovka, our forces continue their attempts to encircle #Avdeyevka from the north, while fighting for #Pervomayskoye is going on in parallel.

💥 A Ukrainian Su-24 Bomber was shot down near #Artyomovsk, DPR.

💡 The Kiev Regime once again successfully committed an act of international begging - the Slovakian government approved the transfer of 11 MiG-29 fighter jets to #Ukraine. Right after #Poland, but that's just a coincidence (no). And all this is happening against the backdrop of a 404 disinformation campaign about an imminent offensive by the AFU, but the Russian army is already used to this, as well as to falling Ukrainian aircraft.

⚡️🇺🇸🇺🇦💸 Smuggling from #Ukraine of Weapons supplied by the West to the AFU⚡️

A few days ago, colleagues from the Telegram Channel ANNA NEWS wondered where some of the weapons supplied by Western states to the AFU go. According to the story, the Ukrainian government is writing off oversized types of weapons under the pretext of combat operations and high consumption of all the property.

The process is overseen by Kirill Budanov, head of Ukraine's main intelligence directorate, and assisted by the head of the #Odessa regional administration, Maxim Marchenko, who was recently removed from his post.

🔹Why #Odessa?

The city hosts a major port whose infrastructure allows the passage of large flows of cargo ships. There is virtually no control over the goods carried on the ships, thanks to the grain deal concluded last year, which was safely extended a few days ago.

Various cargoes supplied by the West are brought into #Odessa port completely unhindered through Bulgarian and Romanian seaports, as well as directly in transit through the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits. This is also how smuggling out of #Odessa takes place.

🔹Where is Everything going?

Some of the weapons do go to #Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Southeast Asia. However, separatist and terrorist groups operating in the regions can hardly afford to buy even a sufficient number of assault rifles.

Therefore, the main flows of smuggling go to criminal organisations and radical national diasporas in #Europe. They are the most solvent customers due to their participation in various black market activities.

🔹Why Europe?

American foreign policy and position in the #Ukraine conflict is not only to weaken #Russia, but also to implement the total impoverishment of European states in order to further their total subjugation to their will.

Since the start of the #SMO, #Europe has been hit by a serious economic and energy crisis, prompting many large businesses and companies to move their infrastructure and financial flows to the safer states.

All #EU countries are now effectively left behind, as the sanctions imposed on #Russia have done more damage to the #EU itself and forced it to surrender completely to the control of US policy.

The outflow of weapons into the hands of criminal elements or ethnic diasporas in #Europe, who run the "back end" of the economy, allows the creation of well-equipped cells in European states, which are bound to be used under certain circumstances. Arms smuggling also leads to increased criminality and sets the stage for businesses to leave #Europe.

🔹 So the Americans are involved in Smuggling?

The illegal sale of the supplied weapons by the Ukrainian authorities could not be organized without assistance or a go-ahead from Washington. If it were not for the leaked evidence of what is happening, no one would have paid attention to it.

The conflict in #Ukraine created favourable conditions for the organisation of alternative supply routes for various criminal and extremist groups operating in different regions of the world. First and foremost, in Europe itself.

The flourishing corruption at the top of the Ukrainian government, together with the "war will pay for everything" principle, has eliminated any possibility of actual control over the activities of the Ukrainian authorities in the use of military aid for its intended purpose.

And this most smuggled weapon with ammunition in the future will begin to suddenly pop up exactly where the US will need to artificially create an escalation.

Ukrainian militants waste thousands of shells a day trying to hold Bakhmut — Washington says it disrupts announced spring offensive

The shelling in Bakhmut by Ukrainian militants has allegedly been so intense that the Pentagon has asked Kyiv not to waste so much ammunition and save it for the spring offensive, The New York Times reports. A senior US Defense Department official called it a "last-ditch effort," noting that the ammunition stockpile was allegedly critically low.

The Bakhmut shell famine is also claimed by the Ukrainian Forces themselves, while the Wagners are gradually making their way to the center of the city. Now the West continues to increase the volume of military supplies to the Kyiv formations. In particular, Canada is preparing to send 8,000 shells for howitzers and 12 air defense missiles, while the United States is sending additional HIMARS ammunition and artillery shells.
