⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ On Sacco and Vanzetti in #Soledar Sector⚡️

🤚 Prigozhin said that the enemy was attacking north of the village of Sacco and Vanzetti and was able to advance up to 500 meters. He called on the RF Ministry of Defence to strengthen the flank north of #Artyomovsk, while Wagner puts the squeeze on the remnants of the AFU in the city.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🤚 By #Artyomovsk to Lunch⚡️

🔹1. The Enemy will lose the last positions in the city before the end of the week - the average forecast is now 1-3 days on both sides. What remains of the garrison of #Artyomovsk will in the coming days crawl away with losses to #Krasnoye and #Khromovo. The rest will remain in the city, since they have already stopped taking prisoners there.

🔹2. After squeezing the AFU out of #Artyomovsk, the fighting will continue in the fields to the west of the city, as well as in the area of #Khromovo and #Krasnoye, the AFU will continue to pretend that "Fortress Bakhmut" is standing, after which, in 1-2 weeks, they will announce that "they have retreated to more advantageous positions" and "generally #Bakhmut never really mattered."

🔹3. The current Attacks to the north and south of the city are unlikely to lead to significant breakthroughs of the front, but tactical successes may allow the AFU to somewhat dampen the inevitable hysteria in #Ukraine about the surrender of Fortress Bakhmut.

🔹4. In the middle of the Day on 18 May, the enemy continued attacks in the direction of #Berkhovka and #Kleshchiyevka. There are intense battles going on. Also, the enemy continues to attack in the "Sacco and Vanzetti" area. The village itself is held by our troops, the enemy is pressing from the northwest and north. The reserves that have been collected for a long time in the area of #Konstantinovka, the Chasov Yar and #Aleksandrovka are now being used.

🔹5. With all the tactical Troubles for us in the area of #Bogdanovka, #Kleshchiyevka and "Sacco and Vanzetti", the continuation of these attacks after the loss of #Artyomovsk by the enemy will allow, with the competent management of troops and strengthening the interaction of the RF Ministry of Defence with the Wagner PMC, to grind part of the enemy's operational reserves in the #Slavyansk - #Kramatorsk direction, which will be of no small importance in subsequent battles by breaking through the defense line of the AFU #Konstantinovka - Chasov Yar - Ray-Aleksxandrovka, in order to fully enter the #Slavyansk - #Kramatorsk agglomeration. The battles here will also be tough.

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

🤥🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦: The Ukrop has found out that the Dnieper terrain is difficult. This is the kind of bullshit the US bloggers are using to harass humanity. As for the Patriot fail. Whoever claims that the system is operational in the face of video and other evidence has to prove it. If he does not, anyone with a brain knows that the wretches are spreading the usual dirty propaganda lies. Apart from that, the rest of the report is also poor and embarrassing for the milblogger writerlings. 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 17 Key Takeaways 👻

▪️ Russian and Ukrainian officials acknowledged continued limited Ukrainian counterattacks near Bakhmut on May 17.

▪️ Ukrainian officials reported that terrain features constrain Ukrainian offensive operations across the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast.

▪️ US officials reported that a Patriot air defense system is operational after Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian missile strikes on Kyiv destroyed the system on May 16.

▪️ The Kremlin reportedly accused three hypersonic missile scientists of treason.

▪️ Select Russian strongmen (siloviki) are likely attempting to signal to Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin that he must cease his political ambitions in Russia.

▪️ The Russian siloviki may be intimidating Russian officials affiliated with Prigozhin to discourage their cooperation with Wagner but appear to be unsuccessful in their attempts to scare Prigozhin into obedience.

▪️ Russian authorities continue to crack down against domestic anti-war dissent in an effort to strengthen domestic repressions and prepare Russian society for a long-term war effort.

▪️ Russian authorities are likely forcefully integrating Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) dioceses in occupied Zaporizhia Oblast as part of a wider religious persecution campaign in occupied Ukraine.

▪️ Russian forces conducted limited ground attacks northeast of Kupyansk and along the Svatove-Kreminna line.

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

▪️ Russian forces continued to target west (right) bank Kherson Oblast and islands at the Dnipro River delta out of fear of planned Ukrainian counteroffensives.

▪️ The Kremlin continues crypto-mobilization efforts by recruiting regional volunteer battalions and criminals.

▪️ The Russian State Duma adopted amendments to the martial law on May 16 that authorize the forced and controlled movement of citizens from territories under the martial law to the territories without marital law.

▪️ Russian ultranationalists are speculating about the fate of Belarus’ independence in case of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s severe illness or death.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🤚 Control Zones in #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) on 18 May 2023⚡️

📃 Despite the success of the AFU on the flanks and the escape of the RF Armed Forces from positions, the situation for the AFU is not developing in the best way in #Artyomovsk itself.

🔹1. The Dynamics of the Wagner offensive remains low, the losses of the AFU remain significant.

🔹2. Wagner continues to advance in urban development and knocked out the AFU from positions in the western districts. The entire western district has moved into the grey zone. This means that neither side can gain a foothold there.

🔹3. There are active Battles with the transition of houses from hand to hand.

🔹4. In the southwest, in the area of the monument to the former aircraft, everything remains unchanged.

🗺 Currently, the control of the city looks like this:

AFU — 0.97%
Neutral — 6.71%
Wagner — 92,32%

⚡️🐻🌙 🛌 Good Night (or Whatever)⚡️

🚨 Finally, I have to say, no nap today. Just on the way to working space, my girlfriend intercepted me and afterwards I fell asleep again, which caused me considerable stress throughout the day, but I had a bit more sleep than usual. Troll Hour, today again with the Majors.

📌 RECAP is actual, see pinned post.👆

📜 SITREP Briefly: On the battle events I reported, also on the terroristic sabotage. The other events are as usual. The AFU terrorists shell civilians. One SRG entering Old Russia was repelled by border guards. UAV attacks. The staging of the aggressors' troops seem to be nearly completed, so that the offensive can be escalated soon. Now, let's troll! 👻

🃏Cartoon and Troll Hour: Instead from Juan, whom you should also follow, here his 👉 Channel Link, or the "Two Majors", link to their 👉 English Channel, tonight arts from our comment chat. Enjoy tonight's nightcap! 👀🍄👇

🇸🇪 Climate Greta analysed by AI (speech included). That is great AI art!

📆 That's it for Today, see you soon if I wake up and also don't have a controlled blackout, which happens here from time to time thanks to Biden and his muppets.
