⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Zaporozhye Direction until 13:00 on 18 Apr⚡️

🔹In the
#Orekhov Section, units of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the Ukrainian Forces of Special Operation are spreading false information about the alleged offensive of the AFU on #Lobkovoye and #Rabotino.

To date, there have been no attacks by the AFU. However, there is talk amongst members of Ukrainian formations of an attack being prepared for 20 April on #Tokmak and #Pologi at the same time as #NATO exercises near the Russian borders.

▪️ Units of the AFU's 71st Army Jager Brigade have arrived in the area and are taking positions on the second line of defence north of #Gulyaypole. In addition, the presence of paratroopers from the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade, which were redeployed from the #Soledar direction after being re-staffed, has also been noted.

▪️ The grouping of troops "Zaporozhye" command conducts regular communication checks between units of the AFU's 65th Mechanized Brigade, 71st Jager Brigade, 1st Separate Tank Brigade, 102nd, 108th, 110th Territorial Defence Brigades, as well as the 46th Separate Airmobile Brigade and the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces' 128th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade.

▪️ Additional units and military equipment continue to be transferred to the frontline. Fire positions of M777 howitzers and M109 self-propelled artillery guns have been equipped near #Kamyshevakha, #Tavriyskoye and #Orekhov.

▪️ At Zolotaya Balka and #Maryanskoye near the #Kakhovka reservoir, training of assault units in forcing water obstacles is being completed.

📌 The high Activity of Ukrainian Information Centers and the concentration of significant reserves in the #Zaporozhye region indicates an imminent intensification of hostilities, probably in the period from 20 to 25 April.

It is highly probable that the AFU will make several local attempts to break through the RF Armed Forces' defences at the #Pologi and #Orekhov sections to assess the Russian Army's defences before conducting a 👉 full-scale assault in early May.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Ugledar Section until 15:00 on 18 Apr 2023⚡️

🗓 Yesterday (17 Apr 2023)
, Ukrainian formations attempted to storm Russian positions south of #Ugledar. One sabotage group of the AFU's 72nd Mechanized Brigade conducted a reconnaissance battle near a forest belt north of #Nikolskoye.

▪️ Another assault group on light armoured vehicles, up to a platoon in number, from the 3rd Battalion of the AFU's 68th Separate Jager Infantry Brigade attacked the Russian positions near #Pavlovka.

▪️ Prior to this, M777 howitzer crews conducted artillery preparations and reconnaissance UAVs and copters were active in the air, delivered in large numbers to the Donetsk direction as part of separate UAV companies.

📌 Both Enemy Attacks were repelled by the combined efforts of infantry units and army aviation. The forces of the AFU's 68th Separate Jager Infantry Brigade and 72nd Mechanized Brigades withdrew to their initial positions.

Now the situation is stable. The 68th Brigade is being re-staffed near #Novoukrainka. A large number of people and equipment are concentrated in #Bogatyr to the northwest of #Ugledar at the range.

It is currently unclear what kind of unit has arrived in #Bogatyr. The 23rd Mechanized Brigade has recently completed its training in #Novomoskovsk, and the Brigade itself is scheduled to be deployed to either the #Zaporozhye or #Donetsk directions.

⚔️🇺🇸🐮💩 Analysis of the Situation in Ukraine by US Milbloggers of "Institute for the Study of War" (ISW):

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: Of course, the ISW Trolls cannot present credible testimonies from victims. Wagner is the nightmare of the Nazis and their supporters, so any means seems to be justified. They should better procure themselves with US war crimes. There are enough unpunished ones. He who sits in a glass house should not throw stones!
Battle reports are trash as usual. The morons aren't able to do better it seems so. One more time an embarrassing performance. 👉🚽

⚠️ Warning! ISW is a troll entity linked to the US regime. The henchmen spread propaganda and disinformation instead of providing a picture of the situation on the front, which is evident from the mostly fruitless frontline information.

💬 The Text is quoted verbatim, including the often horrifying misspelling of localities. The respective source is linked in the footer.

🔻 April 17 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin is seemingly regaining some favor with Russian President Vladimir Putin likely as a result of the Russian conventional military’s inability to accomplish the tasks Putin had set for it during the winter offensive in Donbas. The extent of Putin’s trust and favor for Prigozhin is unclear at this time, but it is likely that Putin halted the Russian MoD’s efforts to avenge Wagner by denying Wagner reinforcements and ammunition.

▪️ An interview with two former Wagner Group fighters on their treatment of Ukrainian children and other civilians and prisoners of war (POWs) further highlights how Wagner has institutionalized systematic brutality as part of its fundamental modus operandi.

▪️ The Gulagu.net interview with the two former Wagner fighters provides valuable insight into Wagner’s force structure and operational prioritization.

▪️ The Moscow City Court sentenced Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza to 25 years in prison on the charge of high treason for Kara-Murza's criticism of the Kremlin and the war in Ukraine.

▪️ Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on April 16 and pledged to strengthen military exchanges and cooperation between Russia and China. Putin continued efforts to portray Russia as an equal defense partner with China and a Pacific naval power amidst Li’s visit.

▪️ Former Russian officer and ardent nationalist Igor Girkin’s newly formed “Club of Angry Patriots” published its manifesto focused on protecting pro-war factions in the Kremlin from possible “sabotage” and “betrayal.”

▪️ Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks northeast of Kupyansk and south of Kreminna.

▪️ Russian forces have made further gains in Bakhmut and continued ground attacks along the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line.

▪️ Russian forces continued defensive preparations in southern Ukraine.

▪️ The Kremlin’s transition to electronic summonses distribution is continuing to complicate Russian conscription procedures.

▪️ Russian occupation authorities continue to discuss the provision of Russian passports in occupied areas of Ukraine.

🖇🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Cleansing" cities of old people and shooting children: what's wrong with the "sensational investigation" about PMC "Wagner"?

A few days ago, the opposition anti-Russian resource Gulagu.net announced an investigation into the criminal activities of Wagner PMC. The founder of the project, Vladimir Osechkin, argued that the exclusive facts would cause a furore to the point that not a single general or colonel would now dare to shake hands with Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Today, the "sensational material" came out, but in fact it turned out to be not even a dud, but just cheap propaganda. The publication was actually reduced to a video interview with ex-prisoner Azamat Uldarov, who introduced himself as a former fighter of the company.

His story collected almost all the clichés about inhuman Russians, as if taken from Hollywood films of the Cold War. It is pointless to list them separately: what are the special cleansing of neighbourhoods from the population with control shots in the head of 5-year-old children, carried out on the personal instructions of Prigozhin.

It is also interesting that even in such uncomplicated material, the performers could not do it without basic blunders:

▪️In an interview, Uldarov claims that, on orders, he cleared the basement of a high-rise building, in which as many as “300-400 people, including 40 children,” were hiding. For some reason, no one in Gulagu.net thought about how so many people could fit into a small basement.

▪️Another characteristic moment is the words that of all the prisoners, Prigozhin, in addition to the commanders, left only female snipers alive. This is silly nonsense..

And yet, a logical question arises: if the person in the frame really was in the Wagner PMC, then what made him say such things?

It is not excluded that Uldarov could simply fall for the money, and for that amount of money, tell on camera everything that the customers wanted to hear from him. Yes, among the prisoners who joined the PMC there are not only heroes, but also slippery characters who have not given up their old habits. Even if they are an absolute minority, it would be wrong to deny the existence of such people.

🔻However, in any case, the material perfectly shows the real level of "investigators", whether it be Gulagu.net, Bellingcat or the unsuitable Khristo Grozev. As part of the development of anti-Russian theses, they are ready to drive any nonsense seasoned with a flashy headline.

And opuses about bloodthirsty Wagnerites, who, just for fun, “clean up” pensioners and children to zero, are a clear example of what grant-eating “independent investigative journalism” is today.

Two Majors
🇪🇸 Los países del G7 deben convencer a Putin de que no logrará sus objetivos y de que perderá, por lo que debe detenerse, afirma la ministra alemana de Asuntos Exteriores, Annalena Baerbock:

"Ahora se trata de mostrar a Putin nuestra determinación de que no logrará sus objetivos, también por agotamiento y fatiga".

Hace poco Baerbock intentó persuadir a Xi Jinping de que no ayudara a Putin, fue patético. Ahora Berbock propone "convencer a Putin" directamente. Ya puede empezar a reírse.

Berbock debería haberse concentrado en por qué Estados Unidos reventó el gasoducto alemán Nord Stream.

🇬🇧 The G7 countries must convince Putin that he will not achieve his goals and will lose, so he must stop, says German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock:

"It is now a question of showing Putin our determination that he will not achieve his goals, also because of exhaustion and fatigue."

Recently Baerbock tried to persuade Xi Jinping not to help Putin, it was pathetic. Now Berbock proposes to "convince Putin" directly. You can start laughing now.

Berbock should have concentrated on why the US blew up Germany's Nord Stream pipeline.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇸👻 ATROCITIES - the Lies of Gulagu, ISW and other Western Trolls Spreading them have been EXPOSED⚡️

💬 "There's a 90%-plus lie in there. I was forced to say it."

🤚 Former "Wagnerian" Azamat Uldarov told RT how Osechkin, a foreign agent, blackmailed him and several others into telling Gulagu. net about the "atrocities" of the Russian military:

"Not only did he blackmail me, but also my guys, and we gave out the information he wanted to hear.

Two years ago I was subjected to torture, ordeals in the OTB [tuberculosis hospital]... All this was captured on video. He [Osechkin] has this video... He sent it to me".

Uldarov noted that the situation with the Gulagu. net will now be handled by the Wagner PMC security service. Osechkin, having learned that Azamat had contacted journalists, immediately posted a video of him being raped online.

Another former Wagnerian, Alexei Savichev, said that he received money for the fake interview. He did not name the amount.

Earlier, the portal Gulagu. net posted a video in which Uldarov and Savichev talk on camera about how the Russian military allegedly killed Ukrainian teenagers and shot at PMC fighters.

Osechkin, a foreign agent himself, fled Russia abroad long ago.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Fights South of #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye Direction⚡️

🔹In the Evening
, it is reported that the enemy is conducting reconnaissance battles near #Orekhov, with the RF Armed Forces conducting strikes against enemy forces. There are no reports of any successes by the AFU. Most likely just assessing the potential of our defence line.

🔹An Acquaintance from #Zaporozhye direction reports that the enemy's attempts are successfully repulsed, but of course no one is overconfident there, they understand that this is still a test of strength.

📌 During such Attacks the enemy learns the system of fire on the front line, operation and positions of artillery, electronic warfare and air defense systems, speed of reaction to certain actions, etc. It is possible that such attacks are carried out at the request of the Americans, who are assessing offensive potential.
