⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 11:00 on 17 Nov 2022⚡️

🩸 The AFU command is trying to stop the active advance of Wagner PMC assault units near #Opytnoye and in the southeast of #Bakhmut (#Artemovsk).

▪️ Artillery crews of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade are shelling indiscriminately at the Russian attack areas in #Bakhmut, #Opytnoye, #Zaitsevo, #Otradovka and #Mayorsk.

▪️ In the city area of #Bakhmut, AFU engineering units set up additional fortifications and fire positions on the roofs of buildings. According to local residents, a railway bridge northwest of #Soledar overs the Bakhmutka River near Sol station was blown up.

▪️ The AFU's Signals Intelligence manoeuvre group uncovered the advance of Russian units 4km northeast of #Bakhmut and on the outskirts of the town.

The 2nd Battalion of the AFU's 54th Mechanized Brigade, reinforced with armored vehicles, attempted to counterattack the Russian positions and gain a foothold in the southeastern part of the town. The attack was repulsed and the 54th Brigade withdrew with losses.

▪️ South of #Opytnoye, the "musicians" defeated the assault troops of the 53rd AFU Mechanized Brigade, whereupon the personnel withdrew to #Kleshchievka.

▪️ Radio intercepts confirm the death of the 53rd Brigade's commander and combatant. Russian troops destroyed the officers during the rounding of positions.

▪️ Some members of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade refused to defend #Bakhmut and some deserted. Counterintelligence officers arrived in the town to restore discipline.

▪️ In #Konstantinovka, mobilized troops are being rapidly trained to be sent to #Bakhmut to compensate the AFU losses. The Ukrainian command plans to form a combined group of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade and 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade in the near future.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Artyomovsk Direction as of 00:05 Moscow time on 8 Jan 2023⚡️

🔹1. In the south of #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk), fighting is taking place near #Kleshchiyevka, where the Wagners are pounding and storming the AFU strongholds. #Kleshchievka itself has not yet been entered. To the south our troops are trying to advance from the #Kurdyumovka and #Ozeryanovka areas, but no results are known yet.

🔹2. In #Bakhmut itself there is fighting in the southeastern outskirts, where the "orchestra" is fighting for every house.

Part of #Opytnoye has been taken, fighting is taking place in the centre of the village, and no one is marking a clear front line there now.

In the vicinity of the town's industrial area fighting is taking place at the site of the gypsum plant and Patrice Lumumba street. There is little progress and the fighting is mostly positional.

🔹3. #Podgorodnoye is taken, where the system of the AFU Ukrops is similar to #Opytnoye, but they are still breaking there, while in #Podgorodnoye they have already broken through.

Enemy strongholds between #Podgorodnoye and Krasnaya Gora are being stormed, ours have not entered the latter yet.

🔹4. In #Soledar, fighting continues in the residential areas in the central part of the city. PMC Wagner assault units have reached the salt mine 1.3, taking it. The enemy have marked themselves off State Enterprise Artemsol (video with Butusov). They are sitting on the Sol station, on the western outskirts of #Soledar, having transferred the 46th Brigade from the #Zaporozhye direction for reinforcement.

Ours have entered the town from the #Yakovlevka side and there are reports of advances westwards to the #Seversk - #Soledar highway, but even here the real front line is difficult to mark at the moment.

🔹5. According to military expert Boris Rozhin, the capture of #Soledar will allow us to cover the enemy positions in #Bakhmut from the north. At the same time, problems arise in the enemy defence north of #Soledar at the line of #Veseloye - #Belogorovka - #Berestovoye - #Spornoye.

Cutting the #Seversk - #Soldar route will enable an offensive along it to #Seversk. If the offensive towards #Seversk and northwards develops, the enemy is deprived of the opportunity to use a bridgehead near the second #Belogorovka at Seversky Donets River to put pressure on #Lisichansk and through the forested area to #Kremennaya.

This is a complex impact!

🔹6. The enemy tries to cling to areas of weapons depots, artemsol underground communications and urban development.

🔹7. Retreating to #Bakhmut, the enemy will attempt to hold the defenses in the western part of the city, if necessary by withdrawing to equipped positions near Chasov Yar, using the dominant heights, before retreating to #Druzhkovka, #Kramatorsk and #Konstantinovka. With the pushing of the enemy in #Bakhmut, the front is hardly likely to crumble.

🔹8. A defensive breakthrough at #Soledar could have more serious consequences for the AFU. But everything depends on the pace of our advance and how quickly the enemy will be able to stabilize the line after losing #Soledar.

📌 The position of the AFU in this direction is close to critical, which is confirmed by the redeployment of formations from the #Zaporozhye direction to #Bakhmut and #Soledar. If their front line is shattered, it will be shattered not only there.
