⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ 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.

◾"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.

👉👉👉 Ukrainian Post
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.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚰️ Such a Picture is now all over #Ukraine⚡️

🪦 And this is already a cemetery in the city of #Khmelnitsky in western #Ukraine.
