🤭Another "victory" of the dwarf geopolitician?

🗡 The 110th Mechanized Brigade's Control and Artillery Reconnaissance Battery is hunting for katsaps on a dam south of Krasnohorivka. Judging by the video, the enemy has gained a little more ground

Situation on the frontlines as of March 31, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. Artillery is working on both sides. The other day, the katsaps tried to attack along the entire line from Nevske to Torske. Traditionally, they started with artillery preparation, but the attacks were stalled due to changing weather conditions.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy's main efforts are directed at the center, south, and north of Bakhmut. The situation is most difficult in the city center.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — enemy is shelling our positions, no changes were recorded, except for a slight adjustment south of Krasnohorivka.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The enemy has been unsuccessfully active in the Svatove area. In Bakhmut, the situation is virtually unchanged, but the enemy keeps trying to improve the tactical situation in the city.

🇧🇾Potato Fuhrer says that Muscovy can deploy intercontinental missiles on the territory of Belarus if necessary

🗣In his annual address to parliament and the people, lukashenko said that moscow's plans to deploy nuclear weapons on the territory of the country "will help defend against NATO."

💭"I am not trying to intimidate or blackmail anyone. I want to preserve the Belarusian state and ensure peace for the Belarusian people <...> If necessary, putin and I will make a decision and deploy strategic weapons if necessary," the self-proclaimed president said during a press conference.

🤡 Not even mentioning the "NATO aggression" manual:

🗯"Take my word for it, I have never lied to you. They are preparing to invade belarus, to destroy our country."

🍒The icing on the cake is a call to end hostilities on the territory of Ukraine:

"There is only one question: what to do? You all understand and know that there is only one way: negotiations. Negotiations without preconditions. I'll try to take a chance and propose a cessation of hostilities. Declare a truce without the right to move, and regroup troops on both sides, without the right to transfer weapons and ammunition, manpower, and equipment! Everything is quiet, frozen!"

🚀 Demonstration of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) "smart bombs" used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to destroy the Russian occupier

🇺🇦Yesterday, Air Force Command spokesman Yuriy Ihnat said that the Ukrainian Air Force is already using JDAM kits for aircraft bombs.

💭"We use JDAM bombs. These are western-style bombs that our aviation uses to successfully strike important targets. These bombs are slightly less powerful but extremely accurate. I would like to have more of these bombs for success at the front," - said Yuriy Ihnat in the interview.

🗂Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a set of equipment based on GPS technology that transforms simple free-fall bombs into all-weather adjustable smart munitions.

🚀 It was claimed to be the destruction of enemy positions by the Tochka-U system and the blowing up of a bridge over the railway in Bakhmut

The explosion took place on the territory of the Makiivka Steel Works plant in Bakhmut. The combat contact line may be even further, but for now, this is how we have shifted it.

🔥 The katsaps collected mines in Vesele to "sew up" their positions, but the 110th Mechanized Brigade's Control and Artillery Reconnaissance Battery decided otherwise

📍 deepstatemap.live/en#16/48.1247/37.8057

Situation on the frontlines as of April 1, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. The enemy is trying to find weaknesses in the forests of Kreminna.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy's main efforts are directed at the center, south, and north of Bakhmut. In the north, the loss of the Makiivka Metal Structures Plant in Bakhmut was confirmed. A railway bridge was also blown up. Fighting continues in the center of the city, and in the south, the enemy is trying to expand the bridgehead on Tsentralna Street.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — no changes were recorded, there were reports of fighting in the area of Vodiane and Pervomaiske.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Compared to early March, the enemy has reduced the intensity of fighting in many places. It looks like fatigue and preparation for an attempt to restore offensive potential. A year ago, the losses of villages and towns were among the issues of the day, and now we are discussing factories, streets, and houses that the enemy is capturing as a result of its attacks. In some places, the katsaps are trying to exaggerate the data on their attacks and gray zones to show their freaks that the war is ongoing and the combat contact line is actively changing. Only in the Svatove direction, the enemy has accomplished the minimum task of throwing the Defense Forces away from Kreminna, while in the rest of the directions, the enemy's plans have failed. Of course, the battle for Bakhmut is still going on in the city itself, but their plan to take the city without fighting has also failed.

🇪🇪"Ukraine reminds us that freedom must be better armed than tyranny" - Kaja Kallas at the Democracy Summit 2023

👥The Summit for Democracy is a virtual summit organized by the United States "to restore democracy at home and confront autocracies abroad."

💭"We cannot take democracy for granted. Democracy needs to be taken care of every day. If we want to continue to live in freedom, we must demonstrate our willingness to take all measures to protect our democracies. And sometimes that means fighting for it. Ukraine is a reminder of that. Ukraine also reminds us that freedom must be better armed than tyranny. And here we all have a duty to make sure that freedom wins," the Estonian Prime Minister said in her speech.

💢 A fake appeal allegedly by fighters of the 🗡53rd Mechanized Brigade is being circulated online

✍️ We wrote to the soldiers of this brigade, who denied this during the day, and a post appeared on the brigade's Facebook page about this fake.

There is no enemy in Avdiivka. A video for the domestic market to show the head of the kremlin regional party committee some successes.

Situation on the frontlines as of April 2, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting along the contact line and shelling from both sides continue.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy tried to intensify activity near Khromove and in the north of Bakhmut - the situation is unknown. Fighting continues in the city center - the enemy occupied the central square near the city council. In the south, the enemy continues to man Central Street for further assault operations. All attacks on Ivanivske have been repelled. A few days ago, as a result of stabilization measures, the enemy was pushed back in the area of Ozaryanivka.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues for Pervomaiske and the surrounding area. The enemy continues to storm Maryinka and is trying to improve its tactical position east of Vuhledar.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

🇺🇸🇺🇦The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, in response to the question: "If we had never supported the Ukrainians at all, would Russia have conquered Ukraine by now?"

💭— "I think that without Western support... First of all, I think the Ukrainian people, their will is indomitable. These are the same people who... These are the sons and grandsons of the folks who fought Stalin and Zhukov for 10 years from 1945 to 1955. So the Ukrainians are not going to be easily conquered, no matter what."

"If they're fighting with pitchforks and spears, they're gonna fight back. But having said that, they would have probably lost considerably more ground without Western assistance, there's no question in my mind about that. So I think Western assistance has been critical to the Ukrainians being able to defend themselves."

🇷🇺 Terrorists of the "wagner" PMC in the building of the Bakhmut District State Administration

▶️ We wrote earlier that the fighting is going on in the city center and we are making changes mainly based on visual evidence. If someone thought that the situation in the center was unchanged for a month, they are mistaken.

▶️ Even the loss of the center does not mean the loss of Bakhmut. The largest residential area is in the west of the city.

▶️ Defending the city center is a difficult task because the pressure comes from three sides. The dam had not been blown up and the river was easy to cross. This created additional problems in the defense. Even the militants' leader used to go to school No. 5 across the river, using a shorter route.

▶️ By the way, the enemy still hasn't captured Marinka, although most of the city is under their control.
