Situation on the frontlines as of February 16, 2023

▶️ On the border with Belarus - no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction - katsaps managed to take Hryanivka. The enemy continues to try to improve its tactical position. In the area of Kreminna, the enemy continues attempts to break through the defense in the area of Dibrova and Kuzmine.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction - all attacks in Bakhmut have been repelled. The enemy is preparing to resume attacks on the road to Kostyantynivka. In Paraskoviyivka, the enemy continues to push the Defense Forces out of the village and attacks in the direction of Berkhivka. In Krasna Hora, the enemy is filming dead militants in marsh camouflage and with Esmarch tourniquets, passing them off as our fighters.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction - fighting continues in Krasnohorivka. The enemy made an unsuccessful offensive near Kashtanove. Despite the criticality of the situation in Nevelske, the enemy attack was once again repelled. In Maryinka, the enemy is trying to push through a farm from the north. There is a video from the town that shows our lost command-and-observation post, where the collection point was located. The location is being identified, maybe someone will recognize the place.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction - enemy continues to push on the Mariupol highway, but the only thing they managed to take was one windbreak.

▶️ On the Tavria direction - no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The katsaps are making significant efforts to enter the rear of the Bakhmut garrison through one of the flanks. Since the attempt in the south failed, all the militants' forces are directed to the exit along the line Dubovo-Vasylivka➖Berkhivka➖Yahidne. The situation is difficult near Hryanykivka, along the Makiivka-Dibrova-Kreminna line, around Avdiivka and in Maryinka. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hold the latter, as the town has been destroyed to the ground.

🔥 Fighting on the eastern outskirts of Bakhmut for Shevchenko Street

Although Western experts have already "evacuated our forces across the river," fighting in the eastern half of the city continues.

🎥Today, a video has been posted online that speaks volumes about the intensity of the fighting, the importance of proper training of soldiers and the psychological component during combat

💪The Ukrainian fighter did not lose his courage, and within 5 minutes of the battle he managed to: shoot from an RPG, shoot with two assault rifles, kill two f***ers, work with a machine gun and throw grenades at the advancing enemy vanguard. Another of his videos shows a hit infantry fighting vehicle. A real John Rambo of our time.

📍The incident occurred in the Svatove direction. If it were not for one soldier from the 92nd⚔Ivan Sirko Separate Mechanized Brigade, the position would most likely have been lost.

Situation on the frontlines as of February 18, 2023

▶️ On the border with Belarus - no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction - enemy attacks from Ploschanka and in the forests of Kreminna. The fighting continues.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction - katsaps managed to break through the defense south of Paraskoviivka, trying to drive a wedge between Yahidne and Berkhivka. They are also trying to advance to Dubove-Vasylivka. In the city itself, most attacks are repelled, but not all. The map shows updates on Bakhmut for the last 7 days. From the south, the enemy broke its teeth near the highway, so now they are attacking the Mariupol cemetery with the aim of reaching the well-known "airplane".

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction - enemy continues to attack along the Krasnohorivka-Vesele line, the situation is still stalemate.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction - no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction - no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Today brought negative changes in the north of Bakhmut. The enemy is using tactics of concentration in windbreaks and bypassing settlements, because under the threat of complete encirclement our troops have to leave the villages. This has been the case almost everywhere since the loss of Soledar. Of course, it looks unpleasant on the map, but it saves the lives of our defenders. And all the cries of moscow roosters about "boilers" and "cauldrons" remain only their wet fantasies. The situation is difficult, the enemy reserves are being pulled up, because the f***ers have an order to capture Bakhmut by February 24. We would like to mention the defenders of the southern face of the Bakhmut salient who have already accomplished a feat. Now we are facing very difficult times, and the main thing is to adequately perceive everything that is happening, and not through the prism hurray-public groups that form a false picture of the events.

🇷🇺 Bastards on the territory of the Volodarsky Salt Mine in Paraskoviivka.

🔵 They tell tales about the encirclement and show tactical clearing on camera, but they entered an empty village where their every move was monitored and artillery was working. Now the frontline has rolled back a bit and the propagandists can come and film.
