Russian soldiers captured a group of Ukrainians and found bags with drugs when searching their pockets. Each of the Ukrainian POWs was carrying a white powder substance allegedly for their own use.

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

🤥🇺🇸
🇩🇪🇺🇦: In the Legal System of civilised states (and in debates), there is prima facie evidence. Accordingly, Russia will hardly fire on itself. This is sick propaganda for the mentally underprivileged, and it contradicts life experience and clear proven facts. If ISW wants to accuse Russia of a false flag operation, then the milbloggers have to present proofs. Otherwise, the presentation is unsubstantiated and will not be taken into account by the law finder. The vernacular also says "stupid talk". ISW proves once again that they are merely lousy propagandists. The whole gang should be punished severely! ISW 👉🚽

⚠️ 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.

🔻 May 3 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Russia accused Ukraine of conducting a drone strike against the Kremlin.

▪️ Russia likely staged this attack in an attempt to bring the war home to a Russian domestic audience and set conditions for a wider societal mobilization.

▪️ The rapid and coherent presentation of an official Russian narrative around the strike suggests that Russia staged this attack in close proximity to the May 9th Victory Day holiday in order to frame the war as existential to its domestic audience.

▪️ Some Russian nationalist milbloggers seized on the Kremlin drone strike to call for Russian escalation in the war despite the fact that Russia currently lacks the military capability to do so.

▪️ The Kremlin may be planning to conduct other false flag operations and to increase disinformation ahead of a Ukrainian counteroffensive in order to increase domestic support for the war.

▪️ Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin baselessly claimed on May 3 that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has already begun, likely in order to exploit information space anxieties and call for increased Russian military support for Wagner’s Bakhmut offensive.

▪️ Russian forces conducted a Shahed-131/136 drone strike on the night of May 2 to 3.

▪️ Russian forces continued limited ground attacks near Kreminna.

▪️ Russian forces continued to make gains in and around Bakhmut and continued to conduct ground attacks on the Avdiivka-Donetsk City line.

▪️ Russian forces conducted heavy air and artillery strikes against west (right) bank Kherson Oblast.

▪️ Russian officials continue to incentivize military service by providing social benefits to families of participants in the war.

▪️ The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that it prevented a “terrorist” attack against three Crimean officials.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡️ After yesterday's Raid of Ukrainian UAVs on the #Kremlin, instead of the Voice of Reason, Screams of Madness are heard⚡️

Someone calls for a complete ban on UAV flights throughout #Russia. Someone calls in response to demolish the Bankova (the Presidential Administration of #Ukraine, whose offices are located on Bankova Street) from the face of the earth. Someone wants to use tactical nuclear weapons.

Several questions arise about such measures at once.

By banning UAV flights, we will immediately complicate the process of training operators and the work of volunteers. While everyone is being introduced into the bureaucratic path, time will be lost.

If #Russia uses a penny drone to beat with nuclear weapons, it is not difficult to guess that after that #Russia will be treated like a rabid dog that needs to be shot. Applying tactical nuclear weapons in a hysterical manner is a so-so story.

If in order to strike at Bankova, from where, among other things, terrorist activities on the territory of Russia are coordinated, it is necessary to fire at the Kremlin, then this, to put it mildly, raises questions about the goal-setting of the #SMO.

In the dry balance, yesterday's #Kremlin's response in the spirit that "we reserve the right to retaliate, but we will not say when it will be and what scale" looks much more logical and thoughtful than the white hysterical noise in the information field.

⚡️🇷🇺 🇺🇦 💧 The Water Level in the #Kakhovka Reservoir has risen to 17 Meters - 1 Meter above Normal⚡️

This happened due to the fact that water is being discharged from #Kiev and #Kremenchuk. However, this is influenced by the factor of quite heavy rains. The flood is always bright on the #Dnieper, and this year it is so in general.

In one of the issues of the "Rybar Analysis", together with Daniil Bezsonov @NeoficialniyBeZsonoV, we discussed what such a rise in water could lead to. The task of the Ukrainian formations is as simple as possible. To flood the left bank of the #Dnieper (especially in the #Kherson region) in order to wash away the mine-explosive barriers and clear the way for a possible amphibious operation.

Zelensky the comedian. His native language is Russian. Before running for elections he took lessons of Ukrainian to sound more like a native speaker. Last spring he pretended he couldn't speak Russian properly in a stunt for the media.

⚔️🇬🇧🐮💩 The British Unintelligence has the Floor🔺

🤓🇬🇧🇩🇪🇺🇦: What the Brit says today is quite nice and more or less correct. By the way, thanks for the tip. But the unbiased reader would be more interested in the consequences of the current Russian strikes and in the failed attack on the Kremlin. The Brit once again refuses to provide the promised update. Simply shameful, innit? Report 👉🚽

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Belogorovka - Situation until 18:00 on 4 May 2023⚡️

#Belogorovka has been a notorious settlement since last May, when units of the Central Military District attempted to take it by storm by forcing the Northern Donets. Under enemy fire, the crossing was destroyed and several dozen pieces of equipment were abandoned.

Ultimately, #Belogorovka fell after the capture of the #Lisichansk - #Severodonetsk agglomeration. But after retreating from #Kharkov region, the RF Armed Forces were forced to retreat from occupied settlements in the #Lugansk People's Republic.

#Belogorovka ended up in enemy hands. The settlement was repeatedly attempted to be taken by storm, but because of the quarry it was difficult to approach it.

▪️ Yesterday, the units of the RF Armed Forces led by "Akhmat-North" wedged in in the enemy's defense near the compressor station in the industrial zone to the southeast of the settlement. Having managed to clear the buildings, the units took up defense.

▪️ Having shelled the RF Armed Forces' positions with artillery, the enemy threw assault units at them and managed to clamp the RF Armed Forces in a pincer.

▪️ By the middle of today, the RF Armed Forces managed to unblock the encircled units and thin out the enemy's defensive formations. After the rotation, the Russian units continued the positional struggle, gaining a foothold to the east of the quarry.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts in the Evening of 4 May 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️

🫶 #Artyomovsk is the hottest point to date. Fighting was going on for every street, severely destroying the city. Of course, once the "Orchestrators" have fully liberated, things will start to rebuild. A look at how the city, which has found a new name, looks like in the special report of Readovka.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts for the past Day

🔹
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

▪️ Fierce fighting is going on near #Belogorovka. The Russian army is fighting for the industrial zone of the settlement, facing the successful work of the enemy's artillery. Through the efforts of the Akhmat-North detachment the firing blockade has been lifted and a rotation has been carried out.

🔹#Artyomovsk (#Bakhmut) Sector:

Counterattacks are taking place in the area of #Bogdanovka.
In #Artyomovsk, the "Musicians" have advanced in the northern and western areas.
In addition, ours are advancing on #Krasnoye and #Predtechino.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

Russian forces knocked out the militants on the approaches to #Pervomayskoye.
Meanwhile, the AFU attempted to counterattack near #Staromikhaylovka.
Also, our forces are successfully advancing in the western part of #Marinka.
▪️In the #Ugledar section, the AFU are trying to advance in the area of northern dachas and #Pavlovka. Soldiers of the 155th Brigade are working in these sections, burning enemy armoured vehicles.
The militants have also stepped up in #Nikolskoye, but were met with heavy artillery fire.

💥 Today a Bayraktar TB2 was shot down over #Kiev. This time all the "advantages" of the Turkish drone were demonstrated by the Ukrainian air defence. The 404 media had already tried to pass it off as a Russian vehicle, but the AFU officially admitted that they shot down their own drone.

"We were a human shield" - an evacuated resident of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) told how the Armed Forces of Ukraine drove them out of their houses and set up camps there.

People were afraid to leave their houses. As the evacuee said, he had already buried his neighbor - the man went out to smoke and came under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Three other friends are missing. According to the refugee, no one found them after the evacuation.

Avdiyivka

The hottest destinations are Pervomaiske, Nevelske, Severne and AKHZ.

In all locations, very heavy battles are fought continuously.

At the same time, the enemy either has minimal success or none at all.

Also, the enemy is trying to advance to Alexandropol in order to operate more widely and bypass Avdiivka from the north. But as before, it ends for the occupiers with losses and withdrawal.

The lack of significant success among the orcs is only possible thanks to the resilience of each of our warriors who protect the indomitable Avdiivka!

The tenth year of fighting for the city will soon pass. And the Ukrainian Avdiyivka stood and still stands!💪

I will not comment on our actions in that direction yet.

In Bakhmut, the enemy will cover every square centimeter with a dozen of their corpses, but still they will not give up their plans.

Unfortunately, the enemy continues to push our garrison out of the city. Although it is happening more and more slowly every day.

The Defense Forces firmly hold the western quarters of the city. The battles are tough, but it is possible to control the situation.
Ugledar direction

After an unsuccessful attempt to storm our positions near N. p. Nikolsky AFU withdrew. A massive 2S7 artillery strike with a caliber of 203 mm is delivered to the positions of the retreating enemy. Artillerymen say, "the earth is trembling."

According to the nomenclature of ammunition, the mass of one projectile for 2S7 is about 100 kg.
