⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💀 Promised News from #Bakhmut / #Artyomovsk⚡️

1. We don't really believe what the media and TV channels report, so we are always looking for alternative sources of information.

2. In this sense, our dear friend, the desperate war correspondent Murad Gazdiyev (@msgazdiev), is especially valuable. We do not know whether or not RT smooths over the sharp edges in his reporting from the front, but in personal communication he tells what is and how it really is (of course, without revealing what others are not supposed to know).

3. He just recently returned from #Bakhmut, that's what's really going on there now and what you can write with his permission:

- It's hell there, even compared to #Mariupol. There are craters all around, torn armour and bloody uniforms. Ukrainian.

- The AFU is really in a very bad way, especially with communications. They only bring people in at night, like meat. No "only Russian-speakers", very many people from West Ukraine, even border guards from #Lvov. POWs say that there is no organization, no commands from above, no one has information, the AFU is disorganized.

- At the same time AFU is not going anywhere, "#Bakhmut meat grinder" is a miracle of our fighters fighting there.

- Almost all heights in the city are ours.

- Those who storm #Bakhmut are in good mood, they work very professionally, it is a new page in the art of urban combat.

- It seems that Ukrainian commanders have left the city and are trying to control it from the suburbs. But, again, there is no retreat of the AFU from #Artyomovk, they are being systematically and successfully pushed out of there.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian 46th Brigade confirmation of Route 0504 being captured.


In Bakhmut from his brothers-in-arms:
"Heavy fighting near the station and for it. To the north of the station, the faggots who broke through the fence were sent back. There were shooting battles near the Transit hotel, the police department, and the pre-trial detention center. No one will hold the front along the railroad tracks on purpose. It is held wherever possible. There is no need to make an additional information fetish. Like around a railway station, tax office or administration. Now these are just buildings, the capture or abandonment of which does or does not affect the defense.
Regarding the 0504 highway. Yes, they have partially left and are trying to gain a foothold. Let's see what they can do. The access to the orc route operationally changes the configuration on the left flank. The transition of the road under physical control worsens the weak logistics. Although we did not use this section of the road much. But the main thing is that it will give us access to Yubileyna Street, which is already dangerous. But this is a prospect, the orcs still need to realize it. For now, we are burning the katsaps.
And more. No one is running away from Bakhmut, do not spread panic. The withdrawal is being carried out systematically, taking into account the need for troops here."

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 16:00 on 8 Apr 2023⚡️

🔹In #Bakhmut, the Wagner PMC assault squads completely liberated the Avangard stadium, for which there had been fighting for the past few days, as well as the adjoining School No.7, the Pedagogical School and the Agrarian Lyceum on Kovalskaya and Blagoveshchenskaya Streets.

▪️ Slightly to the north, the "Wagnerians" advanced from the Atlantik Hotel to the southeast and the Church of All Saints to the northeast along the upper park, almost reaching the Saltovsky Meat-Packing Plant and Bakhmut Bus Station.

▪️ Fierce fighting now continues near the Bakhmut Railway Station, where AFU formations have moved an assault group to hold positions. To the north, after the liberation of the Police Station, the "Wagnerians" are attacking the areas near the Bakhmut Pre-Trial Detention Centre.

▪️ According to some reports, the PMC assault units successfully dislodged the formations of the 24th Separate Assault Battalion "Aydar" of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade from the vicinity near the MiG-17 stele in the southwest of the city. The enemy withdrew north of the plane.

📌 The Main Events of the Battle for #Bakhmut are developing in the city centre near the railway line. The importance of the positions near the Railway Station is quite high, as the liberation of this quarter will greatly facilitate the assault on the western edge of #Bakhmut and force the AFU to withdraw their troops behind Chaykovsky and Levanevsky Streets to save the lives of their militants.

WHY WILL UKRAINE DISAPPEAR?

BECAUSE NOBODY NEEDS IT

1. Europe doesn’t need Ukraine. The forced support of the Nazi regime, by the American mentor’s order, has put Europeans into a financial and political inferno. All for the sake of bandera’s unterukraine, that even the snobby, insolent Polacks don’t take for a valid country, and time and again toss in the issue of its western areas anschluss. There’s a nice perspective ahead: to permanently put the nouveau-Ukrainian blood-sucking parasites on the decrepit EU’s arthritis-crippled neck. That’ll be the final fall of Europe, once majestic, but robbed off by degeneration.

2. The US doesn’t need Ukraine. True, the military and sanction campaigns are attempted for PR by political blabbermouths, who long ago attested to their impotence and imbecility. Average Americans don’t understand what “Ukraine” is, and where “it” is. Most of them won’t show this “power” on the map on the first take. Why won’t the US establishment focus on inflation and job issues, or emergencies in their home States, instead of a country 404, unbeknownst to them? Why does so much dough go across the ocean?
Sooner or later, they’ll ask for that. Then, storming of the Capitol in January 2021 would seem like scout games.

3. Africa and Latin America don’t need Ukraine. The hundreds of millions spent by US on pointless fights in Ukraine, could finance many development programmes for Latin American and African states.
Latin America is gringos’ backyard – that’s what they’ve been rubbing in for decades. Africa’s had its share of suffering from the genocide, and colonial dependence, imposed by former western slave traders. That’s why the people of African huts and Latin American favelas ask a very reasonable question: for their former suffering and present-day loyalty, why is somebody else rewarded – very, very far away?

4. Asia doesn’t need Ukraine. By Russia’s example, they see “colour” technologies at work to eradicate the largest competing powers. They understand what scenario the America-led collective West has for them if they disobey. “Help us to overcome Russia, and we’ll soon come to you”, the utterly brazen Western leaders tell them. Such gigantic countries as India, China, and other Asia-Pacific states face the big enough challenge of post-pandemic economic recovery, let aside the drugged clowns, with their whining for aid.
“We are not interested in you”, Asia tells their messengers, responding to the calls to support Ukraine and confine Russia. The country, geopolitically many times closer to Asian powers, the one that historically has proven itself a reliable strategic partner. Do Asian giants need such headache coming from former colonisers?

5. Russia doesn’t need Ukraine. A threadbare quilt, torn, shaggy, and greasy. The new Malorossiya of 1991 is made up of the artificially cut territories, many of which are indigenously Russian, separated by accident in the 20th century. Millions of our compatriots live there, harassed for years by the Nazi Kiev regime. It is them who we defend in our special military operation, relentlessly eradicating the enemy. We don’t need unterukraine. We need Big Great Russia.

6. Finally, its own citizens don’t need the Nazi-headed Ukraine. That’s why out of 45 million people there’re only some 20 million remaining. That’s why those who stayed want to leave for any place: the hated Poland, EU, NATO, to be America’s 51nd state. Joining the Antarctic with its pinguins will also be fine. As long as it’s quiet, and the food’s good. The ruling junta’s criminal ambitions forced Ukrainians to beg and roam around the countries and continents, searching for a better life. All that is for an obscure European perspective. Or rather, to let the harlequin in a khaki tricot and his band of thievish Nazi clowns to put the money stolen from the West into their offshore accounts. Would ordinary Ukrainians need that?

Nobody on this planet needs such a Ukraine.

That’s why it will disappear

❗️🇬🇧🇺🇦 On the activity of Ukrainian "Bayraktar" UAVs near the Kherson region

Two commanders spoke today about the use of Ukrainian-made and Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones as a means of targeting missile systems and kamikaze drones near Snake Island. In this regard, we would like to add that Ukrainian formations have returned to this practice.

If only a couple of months ago, there were only a couple of Bayraktar workers left in the balance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which were used at a great distance from the front line for aerial reconnaissance, now their activity has increased dramatically.

At the moment, Turkish UAVs, in addition to the southern regions, operate in the area of Bakhmut , in the regions of Kharkov , Chernihiv , Lvov and Volyn . The higher number of flights recorded is likely due to the arrival of a batch of 19 Bayraktar promised by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in November.

What about their use in the Kherson region?

Last month in the sky over the Nikolaev and Kherson regions, as well as the Black Sea, at least two UAVs operated daily at the same time. Yesterday the situation was similar.

One drone patrolled the situation on the Kinburn peninsula, tracking Russian Armed Forces positions in Geroiskoe, Rybalcha and other settlements near the Dnieper and the Dnieper-Bug estuary. And the other was south of Skadovsk .

It was this "Bayraktar" that provided the target designation to Ukrainian formations northeast of Kherson during yesterday's HIMARS MLRS attacks on Skadovsk and Chaplinka. The camera range on the UAV is about 50 km, and even more at some altitude and in good visibility. The missile salvo was repulsed, there were no casualties among the personnel.

❗️Al At the same time, the Ukrainian operators made a mediocre mistake, approaching almost to Skadovsk itself in the Dzharylgatsky Bay, which was used by the crew of the Buk air defence system of the RF Armed Forces, destroying the UAV.

However, in the current situation, the sequence of actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are preparing for the offensive, is clearly outlined: attacks on rear targets with long-range weapons have resumed, including in Crimea, active satellite reconnaissance of air defence position areas is underway.

Given the previous experience in the Kharkiv and Kherson operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the attacks will continue and increase in number. The main objective of the Ukrainian units is to attack as many ammunition depots, anti-aircraft missile systems and logistical supply routes of the Russian Armed Forces grouping as possible before the escalation of hostilities.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🎯 Destruction of a Hangar with HIMARS in #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye Direction⚡️

🗓 Today at 17:30 (8 Apr 2023), artillery units of the RF Armed Forces' 58th Army struck the hangars at the Orekhov Elevator near the railway station in #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye region.

The depots, located closer to the football field, contained two HIMARS MLRS launchers, one M777 155 mm towed howitzer, several armoured vehicles of unspecified type and artillery ammunition.

As a result of the attack, a 300-mm Smerch multiple launch rocket system and 20 shells of the 152-mm Hyacinth towed cannon completely destroyed the armament and equipment storage hangars, while the glow of the detonation could be seen many kilometres away from #Orekhov.

It is highly probable that the weapons and military equipment were transferred to #Orekhov in preparation for an offensive to provide fire support for ground forces in an assault on Russian positions, and their loss will significantly affect the combat capabilities of the AFU in the #Zaporozhye region.
