#Summary #Report as of April 9, 2023

Over the past week, the enemy has been actively preparing for the expected offensive. They have transferred troops, revealed the positions of our air defense, conducted reconnaissance in force. Great attention is paid to a large-scale operation to misinform the Russian command. AFU conduct radio games, carry out demonstrative actions on the line of contact, send in DRGs

Kherson direction: The enemy pretended to be ready for an immediate offensive for several days in a row and tried to keep the personnel and command in suspense. They carried out demonstrative actions, launched lighting rockets. At the same time, they carried out serious artillery shelling of our units, inflicting rocket strikes deep into our defenses. In the rear of the Kherson region , controlled by the AFU, the enemy has established a railway connection (Snigirevka), at night it transfers heavy equipment from NATO countries and restores crossings across the rear small rivers (Ingulets). Prepares bridgeheads, which may be used to accommodate the deployed troops. It is possible that these real actions of the enemy "on the ground" are only to divert attention to an unusable object

Separately, it should be noted the missile attack on the Crimea, Feodosiya. The missile was shot down, but the very fact of such a single strike means an attempt to open the areas of positioning of Russian air defense systems

Zaporozhye front: AFU near Novoselki attempted an offensive, throwing manpower and armored vehicles into the attack with the support of tanks. Having received a rebuff, the enemy changed the direction of the blow, trying to bypass our positions, but was met by fire from a neighboring unit of the Russian Armed Forces. In fact, the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted reconnaissance in force, clarified the location of our strongholds and means of fire destruction, including artillery. To the west of Orekhov, controlled by the AFU, information was received about the destruction of two MLRS "HIMARS" by our artillerymen

Heavy fighting continues in Maryinka , there were no significant changes in the front line. The enemy constantly transfers reinforcements instead of destroyed units. Actively uses drones of all types

Avdeevsky direction: Bloody battles. None of the parties has achieved significant success, the AFU are drawing up reserves

Artyomovsk/Bakhmut: Wagner PMCs are moving forward in the central part of the city. To the northwest there are also successes of local significance

Kursk and Belgorod regions - under constant shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In Belgorod, they refused to hold the Parade on May 9 in order to prevent the accumulation of people and equipment.

Bryansk region. Traitors from the "Russian Volunteer Corps" took responsibility for the entry of the SRG into the region. The enemy is trying to use the theses about the alleged "internal struggle in Russia" by all available means. Thus, he solves the problems of destabilizing the internal situation and distancing the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine

A week ago, on April 2, Vladlen Tatarsky died at the hands of a Russian woman used by foreign special services in a cafe in St. Petersburg . Yesterday he was buried with military honors. By decree of the Supreme Commander, he was awarded the Order of Courage (posthumously)

AFU are completing preparations for the offensive. The enemy will use massive raids by drones of all kinds, information about this comes from various sources. Weather conditions are conducive to active operations using armored vehicles after April 15

Military analysts argue about the timing and direction of the strike. But they agree on one thing: it will be a large-scale operation along the entire length of the front line and the use of SRGs and covert GUR cells in our rear. Kiev needs a resounding success, at least in the media sense
