🇨🇳🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Chinese FM spokesman Wang Wenbin: It is the US, not China, that throws weapons on the battlefield. The US is not in a position to tell China what to do. We will never tolerate the US pointing the finger, or even forcing and putting pressure on our relations with Russia.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 16:00 on 7 Apr 2023⚡️

🔹In #Bakhmut, the Wagner PMC assault squads took control of the Metallurg stadium and also advanced significantly towards the police station, moving from the southeast and east, with fighting right on the approaches to the building.

▪️ On the northern outskirts, the Wagnerians have liberated several buildings on Zelenaya Street near Rose Alley. To the south, the assault squads were able to gain a foothold north of Kowalska Street along the railway line.

▪️ Russian units successfully broke through the AFU defences in the centre, cutting into the AFU positions near the railway station and bus station. Should they gain a foothold in this area and liberate the quarter, the AFU staging areas to the south near the Avangard stadium and to the north will be threatened by a flanking strike.

🔹The Ukrainian Formations are now trying to counterattack in various areas, holding back the PMC units. The 14th Separate Assault "Krasnokalinskaya" Brigade of the National Guard and the "Kiev" Police Patrol Service Regiment of the Ukrainian Special Forces have been redeployed to the western outskirts of #Bakhmut.

▪️ In addition, the 24th Separate Battalion "Aidar" of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade has been sent from the vicinity of #Stupochki to the southern and southwestern outskirts to hold the T0504 road to #Konstantinovka along Chaykovsky and Korsunsky streets.

🪖At the Moment about 50,000 militants from various formations are concentrated in the #Soledar direction:

➖ 24 Separate Assault Battalion of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade
➖ 3rd Separate Assault Brigade "Azov"
➖ 5th Separate Assault Brigade
➖ 4th and 17th Separate Tank Brigades
➖ 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade
➖ 28th, 30th, 67th and 93rd Mechanized Brigades
➖ 56th (without one battalion) and 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigades
➖ 46th and 77th Separate Airmobile Brigades, 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade
➖ 26th, 40th, 43rd and 45th Separate Artillery Brigades, 107th Rocket Artillery Brigade
➖ 113th, 119th, 241st Territorial Defence Brigades
➖ Krasnokalinskaya, Buryevskaya, Rubezhskaya, Spartanskaya Separate Assault Brigades, 5th Public Order Protection Regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine
➖ 1 Commandant's Office of the Rapid Response State Border Guard Service
➖ "Peacekeeper" and "Kiev" Regiments of the National Police
➖ Separate Special Battalions "Dudayev", "Donbass", "Ichkeria", "Lvov" and Detachment "Georgian Partisans".

📌 Reserves are deployed along the line #Slavyansk - #Kramatorsk - #Druzhkovka #Konstantinovka - Chasov Yar, but at the moment the AFU is focused on holding back the pace of Wagner's advance rather than conducting a counteroffensive.

At the same time, the transition to a counterattack is likely, provided that a full-scale offensive campaign begins all along the front to shackle Russian troops and search for the least protected areas of defense.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🪖 We arrived at the 6th Cossack Brigade, the Wild Storm Company. Brought a Copter, Tablets, Communication Equipment, Letters and Sweets⚡️

🎬 Anatoly Dremov, call sign Wild, he and his guys were the first to enter liberated territories - #Popasna, #Kamyshevakha, #Lisichansk, #Gorskoye, #Zolotoye, #Volcheyarovka, #Soledar, etc.

There is a special atmosphere. In every free minute the guys pick up a guitar and tell many touching stories.

And what a magical lunch they served us! Beck, a trucker from #Tashkent, cooks here. In 2014 he decided to go to #Donbass and quickly learned to drive a tank. He received several heavy wounds, and now cooks delicious Uzbek dishes, at the front line, taking to the soldiers. "Salam alaikum - love the Cossacks!" Muslims and Orthodox are here together today, shoulder to shoulder, for the truth and for the common cause!

For the maximum safety of the trip, thanks to military correspondent Lisitsyn.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦👻 The Ukrainian Pilot who decided to play the "Ghost of Kiev" has been arrested until 4 May⚡️

He is charged with illegal border crossing and espionage.

An attempt to pass himself off as a civilian fool who did not know what he was doing did not work either. It is known that Morozov (that is the name of the failed saboteur) has been collaborating with the AFU since the days of the "ATO". He now faces 20 years in prison.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian Post

Bakhmut. There is no good news.

The enemy is pressing in three directions, including the center of the city, which is almost lost.

We can no longer withdraw forces with cohesion, all access roads are in danger.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian post

Bakhmut. Briefly.

Difficult fighting in the city center, near the railroad. East of it, there are almost no our positions left, but the fight for them is still ongoing.

The Defense Forces are repelling attacks in the area of Korsunska Street. The enemy is making minor progress.

Fighting continues in other sectors in the southwestern parts of the city. Unfortunately, the enemy is making progress.

In the area of Ivanivske-Khromove, the occupants are trying to resume massive assaults. So far, we have managed to repel them.

The Defense Forces are facing another hellish night in Bakhmut.

The city is now the hottest spot on the planet. It is the tenth month of Bakhmut's defense and it is holding!

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦We publish a request from the editorial board of the publication "GlavnyyTV" and a response:

Hello, Evgeny Viktorovich! Yan Gagin, adviser to the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin, said that the Russian Armed Forces took control of the railway station in Bakhmut.

Can you, as the person who is best informed about the situation in Bakhmut, confirm that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have taken the railway station?

We publish a comment by Yevgeny Prigozhin:
"I am not well aware of the actions of the Russian Armed Forces in Bakhmut — I have not seen them there. And Konashenkov's briefings simply don't have time to watch. As for the railway station, indeed, the units of the Wagner PMCs are fighting fierce battles there."
