🕗🇷🇺🇺🇦📌 Break until 13:00 Combat Zone Time (GMT+3) 🕐

🛌 Wargonzo & Rybar are still sleeping, 2 Majors usually do not report on Saturdays. So I will deliver within the break. But I have also an important question, see👇

🍜 Today Spaghetti Carbonara, with mushrooms.

⚠️ Question! How important is SITREP Briefly? I am asking, coz my last daily post is always a lot of work. Please react with 👍 or 👎

📜 SITREP Briefly from last Night: Today it was relative calm at the fronts; loss of the abandoned heights near Bakhmut, as MoD wrote, "There has been no breakthrough in the defence of Russian forces." This is correct, cause you cannot break trough abandoned positions / Slight advance in Avdeyevka sector / In Maryinka problems as usual / Intercepted drone in Crimea / The terrorists continued to shelling peaceful civilians with casualties / In Melitopol was another terrorist attack with one wounded / The Brit performed spy provocations in the Black Sea air space / COUNTEROFFENSIVE, I hold on the opinion that the counteroffensive has begun. The Ukropians have to extend due to the losses they have every day by Russian artillery and aviation attacks. We will see!

👆 Enjoy Today's Content, see you in about 5 hours (if electricity available)!

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

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: Today, the Troll Bloggers start with military stuff, which proves that over the last few weeks there have been no real Ukrop successes. In addition, meaningless text modules. Where are around Bakhmut attacks supposed to take place? The Milblogger drivel can hardly be surpassed in embarrassment. 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 12 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Ukrainian forces have made gains northwest of Bakhmut in localized counterattacks as of May 12.

▪️ Russian milbloggers and other prominent voices in the pro-war information space continue to respond to recent Ukrainian counterattacks with varying degrees of caution and anxiety.

▪️ U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Reuben Brigety accused South Africa of loading a Russian ship with ammunition and weapons in December 2022, contradicting its proclaimed neutral stance on the war in Ukraine.

▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) attempted to distract from and assuage information space paranoia over a potential Ukrainian counteroffensive on the Kharkiv-Luhansk front.

▪️ Russian forces continue limited ground attacks in and around Bakhmut.

▪️ Russian sources continue to speculate about potential Ukrainian counteroffensive preparations in southern Ukraine.

▪️ Russian forces continue to recruit convicts and establish volunteer battalions as a part of crypto-mobilization efforts.

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

🤓🇬🇧🇩🇪🇺🇦: Today with no "Likely" but nevertheless a fairy tale. The 4th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle and 374th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigades left the southern positions. The lousy Brit spreads again filth for his nasty propaganda. The post itself sounds logical and would explain the situation on southern Bakhmut sector. But for one with deeper inside it is trash only. What a shameful bunch of trolls without any honour at Unintelligence. 👉🚽
