📍 The leader of the "wagner" militant group near the building of the Bakhmut City Council

🪟The geolocation was identified by the configuration of windows, air conditioning, and insulation in the building to the south of the city council.

🏚 An interesting detail is that it looks like the city council building is completely destroyed.

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.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The fighting in Bakhmut continues. We are talking about the houses that the enemy is seizing, while all its offensive potential has been reduced to this operational and tactical level.

🇺🇸🇺🇦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."

▶️ 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.

🏚 The building of the Bakhmut City Council is completely destroyed - as it was thought, based on the night video

The enemy's drone footage shows the condition of other buildings in the city center. There should be no question about the expediency of holding the center when everything is demolished.

🎂 Yesterday, deepstatemap.live website celebrated a year since its public launch

🔋 The Google ban really gave us a big kick to move forward. We remember that we were publishing the map with screenshots at the time and even thought about giving up on it. We are very grateful to our developer rizorko👍, who came up with the first MVP of the site in a difficult time. Then we added more and more new functionality to it, while improving the visual component.

🔄 Many features have been added now: artillery, fires, pathogen, nuclear explosion simulation, ruler, azimuth, icon filters, change history playback, new layers (topographic and satellite), dark theme, and hundreds of small fixes.

🛍To all this, we have added an Android app and are still trying to break through the iOS door. The map also has closed functionality for the military and osint users in the form of Soviet maps, detailed satellite images, and an OSM topographic layer.

🤝 Our map is popular among both civilians and the military. We appreciate the trust, we are grateful to the team and are always happy to receive feedback from those whose sweat and blood are making changes on the battlefield.

🫡 We continue to work on improving the site, on the accuracy of the designations, and on things that will help our military.

🇺🇦Thanks to the assistance of our allies, the Armed Forces of Ukraine now have five brigades of fighter jets

🗣 "The transfer of fighter jets by Poland is the first step. This is a historic step in the transfer of such weapons as fighter aircraft. We have five brigades of such aircraft today - two brigades of Su-27 and three MiG-29," said Yuriy Ihnat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force on the Kyiv TV channel.

🇵🇱Poland and 🇸🇰Slovakia are planning to provide Ukraine with a total of 33 MiG-29 aircraft:
- 20 from Warsaw;
- 13 from Bratislava.

🫡According to preliminary information, these countries have already handed over four MiG-29 each.

⚠️ Yuriy Ihnat added that these are old Soviet fourth-generation fighters that are morally and physically outdated, and Ukraine needs slightly different aircraft.

Situation on the frontlines as of April 3, 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. South of Dibrova, the enemy has concentrated a significant number of artillery to achieve success with "little blood".

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — enemy controls a large part of the city center. Footage has emerged confirming the complete destruction of the Bakhmut city council building. Katsaps continue to put pressure on Pershyna Street. Fighting continues near Bakhmutska and Shyroka streets. Near Verbna Street, the enemy is dispersing its manpower and continues to bring up reserves.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — situation near Pobeda has been clarified. Fighting continues in Pervomaiske and Maryinka. The situation around Avdiivka is being updated.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Recently, representatives of the Ministry of Defense have raised the issue that only a certain circle of people - the President, the Minister of Defense, and the Commander-in-Chief - should comment on the topic of the counter-offensive. However, many media outlets, various institutes for studying those who study war, public intelligence, bloggers, etc. continue to muddy the waters on this topic. The information field is reminiscent of 1943 before Operation Citadel when absolutely everyone was talking, absolutely everyone was waiting, and everyone knew where and almost knew when. We think everyone knows how it ended. For those who don't know, we suggest taking a school history course. All the unrelated talk about this or that offensive is putting pressure on both those who are currently on the defensive and those who are undergoing training.

🗡 Such attacks in the area of Pervomaisk are quite common. The other day, our troops hit a katsap tank, but they still decided go on with a stormtrooper attack. However, they covered the stormtroopers with their own thermobaric ammunition

🇺🇸Donald Trump has arrived at the Manhattan District Court in New York, where he will be arraigned. He is now under "formal" arrest

🚔It is worth emphasizing that this "arrest" is now a formal procedure, where certain administrative procedures are carried out (reading of rights, fingerprinting, background checks, a "photo shoot," and of course the charges), after which Trump is to be released. As already reported, the grandfather will not be handcuffed, as he, as a former president, is under constant surveillance by the Secret Service and law enforcement agencies. Additionally, he may be subject to certain restrictions until the trial of the case.

🗣As a reminder, Trump has already emphasized that he could be arrested because of the investigation launched by the New York prosecutor into the concealment of money paid to women who disclosed sexual encounters with Trump.

🤕And as we have already noted, it would be better if the old man was given pills and sent to a mental institution, because his thoughts lately are only susceptible to sick idiots. Trump has traditionally blamed Biden, the Democrats, and everyone who does not support him for everything.

👀We are following the situation..

📍 Enemy resumes assault operations near Novoselivske

📹 The video released by the enemy shows the assault group of the 1st Tank Army launching an attack from a landing to the east of the railroad and taking our positions in a landing near the railroad. Unfortunately, there are prisoners and killed on our side.

The katsaps have a strong hold on Novoselivske. In the fall and winter, the wagner PMC militants even provided support there.
