βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 13:00 on 26 Mar 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉIn
#Bakhmut North, Wagner PMC assault squads have successfully cleared the area of the industrial zone of the Artyomovsk Metal Processing Plant (AZOM) - the complex has come under full control of Russian units.

β–ͺ️ The "Wagnerians" also expanded their zone of control near the Bakhmut railway station, while to the south the assault squads managed to advance towards the railway line and liberate the area of the Garage Cooperative.

πŸ”ΉIn #Bakhmut South, a positional offensive by the Russians continues in the Sobachevo and Budenov districts. The "Wagnerians" have entrenched themselves behind Mariupolskaya Street, cleared the territory of School No. 5 and are now fighting near the Bus Station.

β–ͺ️ In Budenov, the assault squads have significantly advanced towards the Mig-17 stele. Clashes are taking place almost at the monument itself. Furthermore, the territories adjacent to the Avangard stadium and several blocks near the market have been liberated.

πŸ”ΉIn #Bakhmut Sector Northwest, positional fighting continues at the Orekhovo-Vasilyevka- route to #Slavyansk line. The settlement is currently in a grey zone, with control over strongholds changing hands.

πŸ“Œ At the Moment, Wagner, supported by the regular army, is advancing in #Bakhmut. Positional battles are taking place in the suburbs and near #Bakhmut, the aim of which is to constrain the enemy's resources.

However, significant AFU forces have been amassed on the #Druzhkovka - #Konstantinovka - Chasov Yar line. Also reinforcements from the 81st Separate Airmobile Brigade have been partially transferred to #Seversk.

The AFU is planning a πŸ‘‰ counterattack on the Wagner positions near #Bakhmut. It is likely that several diversionary strikes from #Seversk, #Toretsk and #Slavyansk will be carried out to stretch the frontline and deter the Russian forces along with the main attack on #Bakhmut.

β–ͺ️ In the #Kupyansk sector of the front, the AFU command continues to bring in reinforcements in anticipation of the Russian army's offensive.

β–ͺ️ In the #Liman sector, there are no significant changes. Positional battles and artillery duels are taking place along the line of contact.

πŸ”Ή#Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction:

β–ͺ️ In the north and central areas of #Bakhmut, Wagner PMC stormtroopers are engaged in fierce fighting in the urban area.
βž– After the liberation of Sobachevka and Budenovka, they managed to slightly expand their zone of control in the Vodokanal district by advancing into the residential areas.

β–ͺ️ Russian forces advanced near the intersection of Lermontova Street and Independence Street, establishing control over a number of highrise buildings.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― RF Armed Forces' Strike on an AFU Facility in #Druzhkovka⚑️

Russian troops launched a missile strike on a Ukrainian army facility in #Druzhkovka, located in the old Prominvestbank building on Kosmonavtov 51A during the day.

Coordinates: 48.603340, 37.531690

It is more likely that the building was the location of personnel. This can be judged from reports of a large number of ambulances and the abundance of people in military uniforms in the frame.

Choosing a building for a deployment point is not uncommon - Ukrainian formations often arrange warehouses and locations in πŸ‘‰ similar buildings in the town limits.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦βš”οΈ Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 16:00 on 7 Apr 2023⚑️

πŸ”ΉIn
#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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

πŸ”ΉThe 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.

β–ͺ️ 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.

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

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

πŸ“Œ 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.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸŽ― About the Russian Armed Forces' Strike on #Konstantinovka⚑️

πŸ—“ Yesterday (12 Apt 2023)
, Russian forces struck a Ukrainian facility in #Konstantinovka in the DPR territory occupied by the AFU. Judging by the published footage, the RF Armed Forces struck the Glaskommerz facility.

Coordinates: 48.52581536389538, 37.70001417519755

The plant used to be #Ukraine's only enterprise for the production of rolled, patterned, reinforced glass sheets. Now its work has been stopped due to its proximity to the frontline.

A fairly vast area with spacious covered hangars, an adjoining railway line and a road makes Glaskommerz a convenient location for personnel and equipment.

Now at the #Kramatorsk - #Slavyansk - #Druzhkovka - #Konstantinovka line there are various formations from the AFU Strategic Reserve. The 47th and 67th Mechanized Brigades and 4th Separate Tank Brigade.

The new units with Western-made equipment are planned to be used in the spring and summer campaign. It is possible that the strike hit just one of the Ukrainian formations' deployment points.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ€š Prigozhin has released an extended Article on the Battle for #Bakhmut⚑️

🩸There is a lot of interesting Stuff in it:

πŸ”Ή1.
#Bakhmut's Strategic Role is not that great. #Bakhmut is followed by #Seversk, #Slavyansk, #Kramatorsk, #Konstantinovka, #Druzhkovka and Chasov Yar. The settlements that make up the socalled "Donbass Ring" and form a fortified area. On the one hand, #Bakhmut is part of this fortification; on the other hand, the capture of #Bakhmut itself will not ensure a quick victory over #Ukraine, a road to the #Dnieper or even the capture of #Donbass.

πŸ”Ή2. The Ukrainian Army has amassed a sufficient number of forces. Around 200,000 already sufficiently trained fighters, who have undergone two to three months of training and harmonisation, are ready to carry out combat tasks.
βž– The number of weapons and ammunition is sufficient for these 200 thousand to go on the offensive in different directions. The troops, ready for the counteroffensive, are in the areas of concentration - they have everything they need.
βž– In those tank wedges, which they try to hammer into the defense of PMC Wagner by dozens every day, the AFU loses from 30 to 50 pieces of equipment every day, and they have no problems with it. And as for people, they have, as they say at the front, no limit.

πŸ”Ή3. Every Scream at #Bakhmut, every captured soldier, every hundred killed hits Zelensky and the AFU leadership much harder than the pluses they get from holding the remnants of that city.
πŸ“Œ That said, the prolonged battle for #Bakhmut is extremely beneficial to Russian forces, as they have already snatched a large chunk of Ukrainian territory in 2022. If the special operation remains within these borders, give or take a couple of tens of kilometres, it will solve many of the problems of the SMO.
#Bakhmut gives the Russian army an opportunity to accumulate forces, occupy advantageous defensive lines, deal with internal problems, prepare the mobilized and meet any number of counteroffensive insurgents in full armor. #Bakhmut is extremely advantageous for us, we grind down the Ukrainian army there and hold back their manoeuvres.

πŸ”Ή4. #Russia's Collapse cannot happen militarily. Forests, swamps, vast territories, climatic specifics reliably protect the country's territory, making it a huge fortification. Always in history, the enemy who reached #Moscow eventually fled in disgrace, turning the "Road of Victory" into the "Road of Death" on the way back.
βž– Why are the Anglo-Saxons holding back Zelensky by staging internal conflicts and stalling the offensive? Precisely in order to siphon off the main prize - the break-up of #Russia into a multitude of principalities. The #US doesn't need a quick war. They need a war that will lead to the overthrow of the " Deep State " and its victory.

πŸ”Ή5. The Ukrainians are ready to go on the offensive. We are ready to repel the blow. The best scenario for #Russia to heal in order to unite and become the Strongest State is an offensive by the AFU, in which no handouts or negotiations will be possible. And either the AFU will be defeated in a fair fight, or #Russia will lick its wounds, build up its muscles and tear its rivals apart again in a fair fight.
πŸ“Œ So I think the Option of negotiating is impossible for #Russia's future.

βš‘οΈπŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ’€ Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector as of 23:44 Moscow Time on 15 April 2023⚑️

πŸ”Ή1. Wagner PMC
assault squads continue to advance in the city south of the industrial zone of the #AZOM plant and in the northwestern neighbourhoods.

β–ͺ️ The enemy is already being pushed back in the area of multistory buildings. Blowing up houses does not help the enemy much in stabilising the situation.

β–ͺ️ The Wagner PMC is also advancing in the area of the Railway Station and in southwestern neighbourhoods.

β–ͺ️ On an average day, the enemy loses 2-3 blocks and several hundred people killed and wounded.

πŸ”Ή2. Roads to #Artyomovsk are still under the fire control of the Airborne Forces and PMC Wagner. The number of destroyed equipment to the west of the city continues to multiply.

πŸ”₯ The roads are shelled not only by artillery, but also by mortars and ATGMs. They cannot be unblocked by the enemy. Deteriorating weather makes it difficult for the enemy to mount an effective counteroffensive.

πŸ”Ή3. The RF Armed Forces continue strikes against the enemy's operational reserves in #Kramatorsk, #Slavyansk, #Druzhkovka, #Konstantinovka, as well as routinely processing Chasov Yar.
