⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️On AFU Reserves and the Risks⚡️

💀 Prigozhin's Statement
estimating the volume of the AFU reserves at 200,000 personnel is necessary and timely to inform the people about the state of the enemy, allowing to form a picture of what is happening, rather than a crooked reflection of it.

🔹 I have already said that the enemy's reserves are sufficient for a large-scale operation, and there is a risk of such an operation, with strikes possible in several places. Prigozhin, whose attention is focused on #Bakhmut, has reported a grouping of about 80,000 near that town. But the rest could be used elsewhere, and an AFU counterstrike near #Bakhmut could prove to be a diversion, even if Leopards, for example, are used there.

🔹The most dangerous thing now may be the conviction that the enemy is on its last legs and will inevitably come to an end soon. If it suddenly turns out that it can also go on the offensive, the blow to public morale could be very serious. And it is easy to avoid it - it is enough to tell the truth. Not the whole truth, of course. Some citizens in the TV gallery remember Svechin, well he wrote quite correctly in his time in "Strategy" on this occasion, speaking of informing the public:

💬 "Events must have a logic, and if troops everywhere are making gains, and as a result the front remains in place or even moves back, one can only come to sad conclusions for the high command."

📌 The Book is a hundred years old and the rule was valid in Caesar's time and will remain so in a thousand years' time.

▪️ In his opinion, after joining #NATO, #Ukraine could launch a full-scale operation against #Russia because of #Crimea, but Moscow cannot accept this,

▪️ He also said that if the FRG were to execute the ICC's decision to "arrest" Putin, it would amount to a declaration of war, then all Russian "funds" would fly to the Bundestag;

▪️ Russian ambassador to the US Antonov said that Western countries led by the #US, by deciding to supply Kiev with depleted uranium munitions, are irrevocably bringing the world to a dangerous line, beyond which nuclear Armageddon looms ever clearer;

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Avdeyevka - Situation until 20:00 on 23 Mar 2023⚡️

🔹 North of
#Avdeyevka, fighters of the 132nd Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the RF Armed Forces (formerly 3rd Gorlovka Brigade of the DPR) have advanced west of #Novobakhmutovka in recent days, having completely cleared the settlement from the presence of the AFU.

▪️ South of #Novobakhmutovka and northeast of #Krasnogorovka, Russian units have developed success by dislodging Ukrainian formations from two strongholds. The AFU are now holding positions in a forest belt near a section of the H20 highway and are in a semi-encirclement.

🔹Northwest of #Avdeyevka, positional fighting near the railway continues. After the RF Armed Forces' foray into #Petrovskoye (#Stepovoye), the AFU transferred reserves and pushed the Russian servicemen behind the railway line. At the same time, the fighters of the RF Armed Forces expanded their zone of control along the railway.

🔹 To the West and Southwest, mutual artillery fire continues. The RF Armed Forces are shelling the areas where Ukrainian formations are concentrated in #Lastochkino, #Tonenkoye and #Severnoye.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector as of 21:40, 23 March 2023⚡️

🔹1. Northwest of the City
, fighting continued for Orekhovo-Vasilyevka and #Bogdanovka. Both settlements are still hold by the enemy. Reinforcements are constantly being transferred there from the reserves withdrawn from other directions.

🔹2. #Khromovo is also still being held by the enemy, including by reinforcements withdrawn from the #Kharkov direction. The roads through #Khromovo are under constant artillery fire, it is possible to pass, but at risk. Part of the supply is converted to unpaved roads. The muddy weather is having a significant impact on AFU supplies between #Krasnoye and #Khromovo.

🔹3. South of the City, fighting continues on the close approaches to #Krasnoye and to the west of #Kleshchiyevka and #Kurdyumovka. Our forces have so far failed to make any serious inroads into #Krasnoye, and the enemy, in turn, has failed to push our forces away from #Krasnoye to unblock the road. These attempts are expected to intensify in the near future.

🔹4. In the City itself, fighting continues in the southern part of the industrial zone of the AZOM plant, near the city centre and in the southern quarters.
The pace of progress is slow due to the fierce resistance of the enemy, as Prigozhin pointed out again today.

🔹5. The Enemy's Grouping in #Artyomovsk reaches 15,000 men, and the total number in the #Artyomovsk direction is 75-80,000 men. And due to the transferred reserves, its numbers are increasing, including to the detriment of operations in the #Kupyansk, #Svatovo and #Krasny #Liman directions.

American TV presenter Jimmy Dore, commenting on the ICC warrant for the "arrest" of Putin, recalled that Washington does not recognize this court either.

Dore explained that in 2002, Bush signed a document informally known as the “Invasion of The Hague Act,” which allowed for a military operation against the Netherlands:

- "To protect U.S. military personnel and officials accused of war crimes from any prosecution or detention by the ICC"

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Analysis of the RT report about the battles in Ugledar

Recently, the military commander of the RT channel Igor Zhdanov @zhdanovrt published an article about the battles in Ugledar. His report demonstrates well the difficulties that the RF Armed Forces sometimes encounter during assault operations.

▪️The city, built up with high-rise buildings, is located on a hill almost in an open field. Therefore, from the upper floors of buildings, the surroundings are easily visible.

The problem is especially relevant in winter, when the fields are without foliage. Because of this, all objects contrasting with the environment are even more clearly visible in the thermal imager.

▪️The shelters equipped in the city center cover the neighbouring high-rise buildings, so it is extremely difficult to hit them. There is a clear example in the frame with a pair of BMP-2s: they stand behind the building on the north side in the front and are protected from fire by the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️The video often flashes shots of anti-tank guided missiles firing at observation posts and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the upper floors of skyscrapers. In fact , any window easily becomes a firing point, where the enemy can place a machine gunner, a sniper pair or an ATGM operator.

Under these conditions, the assault on Ugledar is a rather difficult task. A frontal attack is fraught with huge losses, even if all city skyscrapers are destroyed.

The only option remains to capture the city and cut all supply lines, followed by a simultaneous strike from several sides.

@rybar
Two majors
Dear comrade Rybar, in analyzing the report of RT military correspondent Zhdanov from Ugledar, emphasizes that the city is located on a hill and its environs are under enemy surveillance and fire.

It was this factor that repeatedly became the cause of the fire damage of our advancing columns of armored vehicles, the footage of which spread over the net.

With regards to the conclusion regarding the most effective tactics on Ugledar, certainly true. It would seem that there is nothing more logical than to surround a city that is difficult to storm, or at least cut off supply routes.

But there are two problems.

Firstly, the encirclement of the city is associated with the capture of the settlement by the same storm Pobeda (northeast of Ugladar, south of Marinka), which did not work this month, as well as the Vremyevka - Velikaya Novoselka defense center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located much to the west of Ugledar and all the villages along the front. Again a difficult assault, but already on a broad front. But this will allow you to take Ugledar into the "bag", as was done with Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

Secondly, the main difficulty, as usually happens, lies in ourselves. An offensive on a broad front requires not only talented commanders, but also well-trained troops. Partial mobilization is a good thing, but 100 uncoordinated soldiers are not yet a motorized rifle company. And modern warfare, and even more so offensive actions of this magnitude, require the involvement of heterogeneous military units.

This requires consistency, coherence, training. Otherwise, again - assaults on a narrow section of the front.

Over time, gaining experience by the troops is inevitable, we hope that the experience of front-line soldiers and commanders is already being studied at the training grounds.

Bakhmut. Night.

General situation: unstable and difficult. Constant swings in one direction or the other. Orcs will capture something - we repel it, mostly now. Or we don't, because there are more than enough enemies.

The north - the directions of Bohdanivka, Khromove, Minkivka - is difficult everywhere.

Near Khromove, we managed to move the enemy a bit further away from the road. But, of course, not for long. The occupants will recover, add reserves and run to attack again.

Southwestern outskirts - the situation is already quite critical. The area around the intersection of Tchaikovsky and Korsunska streets, including the adjacent buildings, is a mess. There are hellish battles.

The line between Razdolivka and Vesele remains unchanged.

In the area of Ivanivske, the occupants have been storming our positions non-stop for three days now with large forces. They are having successes, albeit minor ones.

The enemy has now sent all possible forces to bypass Ivanivske and Khromove in order to meet two groups on the western outskirts of Bakhmut and surround our garrison.

Our soldiers are doing everything possible to prevent this from happening. During the 3 weeks of fighting, the enemy had little success in those areas, exchanging 100 meters of land for 1000 (or even more) of their corpses.

Bakhmut is holding on!
📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 24 Mar 2023; pub. 07:01📍

🔴
In the #Kremennaya - #Svatovo Direction, the RF Armed Forces are fighting near #Makeyevka (LPR, 24 km north of #Kremennaya).

▪️ There have been no reports of significant changes to the front line in the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) sector, despite heavy, bloody fighting.

▪️ In the north of the #Avdeyevka sector, the RF Armed Forces occupied the #Novobakhmutovka settlement.

▪️ Overnight there were reports of strikes on targets in #Odessa, there were also reports of explosions in Krivoy Rog.

🔵 In the #Zaporozhye Direction, the concentration of personnel and equipment of the enemy continues in the #Orekhov - #Gulyaypole sections, where earlier the enemy began to conduct reconnaissance in combat, revealing our defence structure, firing points and the fire system as a whole.

▪️ In #Melitopol yesterday morning an explosion was heard. An improvised explosive device detonated.

▪️ In the #Kursk region, #Gordeyevka and #Plekhovo came under fire from the AFU.

▪️ In the #Belgorod region, the village of #Tishanka was shelled.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 24 March 2023; pub. 07:02⚡️

🔹On the
#Donetsk Front, units of the RF Armed Forces again attacked near #Pobeda.
Supported by artillery, they carried out assault actions in the city limits of #Maryinka,
in the direction of #Pervomayskoye and near #Severnoye.
As a result of the offensive from #Opytnoye, the Russian forces managed to break the AFU defence and approach #Lastochkin.
A little to the north from the village of #Krasnogorovka, they reached #Steponoye (#Petrovskoye) and #Berdychi.
📌 Thus, the RF Armed Forces are close to encircling the AFU stronghold in #Avdeyevka, on which artillery and aviation were working hard. It is about five kilometres from the Russian positions near #Lastochkino to the line of contact near #Steponoye. All the supply lines of the Ukrainian garrison in #Avdeyevka are under fire.
If the counterattack on #Orlovka is successful, the ring will close. And from #Novobakhmutovka the Russian troops have reached #Novokalinovoye.
📌 In this entire #Avdeyevka area, the terrain allows the RF Armed Forces to count on an operational breakthrough.
Unless the Ukrainian army moves its reserves.
💥 Russian artillery hit #Novomikhaylovka, #Nevelskoye, #Netailovo and #Tonenkoye.
💥 The AFU shelled #Donetsk. (Fig. 1)

🔹Southwest of #Bakhmut, the Wagner PMC continued its offensive on #Predtechino. There is an advance.
Supported by artillery, the "musicians" also entered the southwestern outskirts of #Bakhmut itself at the entrance to the town from the side of the logistics route to #Konstantinovka.
The "musicians" carried out storming operations near #Khromovo and #Bogdanovka.
Units of the RF Armed Forces advanced in the direction of #Verkhnekamenskoye after the shelling.
💥 Russian artillery struck Aleksandro-Shultino, Chasov Yar, #Grigorovka, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, #Minkovka, #Vasyukovka, #Seversk and #Spornoye. (Fig. 2)

🔹In the #Lugansk Direction, units of the RF Armed Forces again attacked #Belogorovka.
Supported by artillery, they attempted to advance towards #Terny.
Russian troops also conducted a ground attack on #Makeyevka. (Fig. 3)

United Nations deputy spokesperson Farahn Haq said the use of British depleted uranium ammunition by the Ukrainian Army is a concern and pointed the finger at the country providing it, Britain.
Of course he did not mention Ukraine or Britain at any point, and they sent the deputy to say all this, very diplomatic, still we can't expect the Ukrainian reaction very soon. Maybe Mr. Haq will be the latest member of the Ukrainian kill list "Mirovorets".

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th brigade reports that their fired officer who gave a Washington Post interview is on his way back.


Anatolich's post and the comment of Viktor Lyulchak, deputy chief of staff of the Defense Ministry, indicate one thing - finally, the OP and the Armed Forces have reached a compromise. Kupol partially admitted his guilt and said that he "didn't want to harm the Armed Forces", and journalists printed "half-truths" and lied about his words. His words are "this is my personal position, not VAT". Viktor Lyulchak, for his part, rather boldly hinted that "we are not abandoning our own," and Kupol "in the future may become either the chief of staff, or the deputy commander of the brigade, or even the commander of the brigade."
All this has one big plus - the parties have reconciled. During the war, this is the main thing - all quarrels are in the hands of our enemies.
We are waiting for Anatolich to return with us soon in the same formation.
But the situation itself raised one question quite acutely. Where is the limit when it is necessary to remain silent, and where - when it is better to say so as not to repeat mistakes and point out mistakes. Let's be honest, no Ukrainian mass media would ever print what Kupol said. Only a foreign publication could do this. Although by and large, the problems pointed out by Kupol exist. And losses, and lack of ammunition and equipment, weak training and lack of motivation. They didn't go anywhere. And, if it weren't for the Dome, hardly anyone would have spoken about them out loud. No system will be able to correct its errors from within. The dome drew society's attention to the problem and gave a side look at all these issues. Time will tell whether conclusions will be drawn from this or not.

Fighting in Ukraine officially for exhaustion, Stoltenberg states

Putin allegedly has no immediate plans to bring peace to Ukraine, so the West needs to prepare for long-term deliveries of "lethal weapons," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told The Guardian. According to him, the Russian President is allegedly waging a "war of attrition," and therefore the secretary general insists on increasing defense spending to at least 2 percent of GDP.

"This is a war of attrition. It's about industrial capacity to strengthen our support [supplies]," Stoltenberg said.

At the same time, NATO and the IMF are actively pouring money into Ukraine's planned spring offensive. For example, the Fund decided to give Ukraine a $15.6 billion loan, which nevertheless will never be repaid, and the amount of aid from Western "partners" amounted to $24.7 billion last month alone.

​​🇺🇸🇺🇦The US does not want peace in Ukraine

🇩🇪👤Oskar Lafontaine, co-founder and former chairman of the German Left Party, states that the United States is the real aggressor in the Ukrainian conflict.

☝️ Lafontaine emphasizes that it was the expansion of NATO to the East and the deployment of missiles on the border with Russia that provoked Moscow to launch a special operation in Ukraine.

🗣 The politician believes that it is necessary to immediately stop the supply of German tanks to the Kiev regime and in every possible way to avoid drawing Germany into a military conflict.
