Situation on the frontlines as of April 8, 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 — the situation in the center of Bakhmut has been clarified. The fighting continues, and the situation is dynamic. Some houses are changing hands. Katsaps are traditionally pushing towards the railway station.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues north of Vodiane. Hostilities also continue in the forests between Novobakhmutivka and Novoselivka Druha.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The situation has not changed globally over the last day. The enemy is still pressing from the center of Bakhmut, still looking for weaknesses in the forests of Kreminna. The enemy is pulling up resources to surround Avdiivka, but on the southern front, things are very sad for the katsaps. Soldiers from the occupied part of the Donetsk region continue to die in the name of the political achievements of the supreme f***er of the russian federation.

🌍💸 "The world economy will grow by only 3 percent a year for the next five years" - IMF Head Kristalina Georgieva

😐According to the IMF director, this is "the lowest medium-term growth forecast since 1990." Georgieva noted that global growth in 2022 was almost halved compared to the initial rise after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021.

📊The IMF chief warned that a "more fragile" global economy would lead to slower growth and greater financial instability:

💭 "Poverty and hunger in the world could continue to worsen, a dangerous trend set in motion by the coronavirus crisis," Kristalina said in an interview with Politico.

🤷‍♂️At the same time, the IMF director notes that despite the problems in the banking sector that have arisen in the United States and Switzerland, the global economy is not threatened with a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis scenario.

🇹🇼🇨🇳The Chinese newspaper Global Times published a video showing simulated Chinese army strikes on Taiwan

👷The People's Liberation Army Command in the Eastern Theater has created a computer animation depicting its simulated combined precision strikes on the island of Taiwan. The animation shows that conventional and long-range missiles on land, military aircraft in the air, and warships at sea simultaneously attacked from several directions on the island.

🗣Zhao Xiaozhuo, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Military Sciences, noted that the key targets relate to military facilities and specific buildings on the island of Taiwan. These are airfields, important nodes in the Taiwanese military system, and important mobile targets.

👀As a reminder, the Chinese and russians call Taiwan provocateurs, in particular, the Taiwanese president's trip to the United States. We clearly see methods in world politics that are inherent in similar countries🫠

Situation on the frontlines as of April 9, 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. In the area of the mass grave (north of height 79.8), the enemy managed to push our forces out of the positions they held. We are learning the details and will publish a post about it tomorrow.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — the enemy seized School #24 in Bakhmut. Fighting continues near the railway station: the outcome is unknown. The exact situation near the Avangard stadium is also unknown, holding positions there is becoming extremely difficult due to the situation to the north. Fighting continues near Bakhmut School #2. According to preliminary data, all the enemy's attempts to improve the tactical situation near Ivanivske, Khromove, and Bohdanivka have failed.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the stalemate near Vodyane, despite the enemy managing to take over the positions, our artillery turned both the enemy and the positions into a vinaigrette. Katsaps captured the Hrachovyi forest and are moving from Krasnohorivka to the railroad near Novokalynove. In Maryinka, the enemy positions in the gray zone in the south of the city were hit, unfortunately, the f***ers are advancing.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Recently, there has been a negative trend. The katsaps continue to exert pressure from the north of Avdiivka, bringing in additional reserves. The situation in that area is extremely difficult now, the assaults are very frequent, and the enemy does not pay attention to the losses - all for the sake of fulfilling the whim of the supreme dick. The situation in Bakhmut is traditionally extremely difficult. Many friends are holding the fort now, so it's getting harder and harder to describe the situation in the city every day.

🇩🇪German Interior Minister threatens to ban athletes from russia and belarus from entering the country

💭"Countries that host major sporting events are not powerless. They can control whether russians can participate in them by issuing visas. <...> If we organize international competitions in Germany, we can act accordingly. Here, we will always act with a clear position," Nancy Feather said in an interview with Funke.

🗣In addition, the Interior Minister noted that allowing athletes from aggressor countries to participate in international competitions would be a "slap in the face to Ukrainian athletes."

🇷🇺 The f***ers on the trophy M113 in Soledar

📹 Again unpleasant footage, again from the area of Kreminna

🏎 On Saturday, the f***ers successfully stormed our positions at the crossroads north of height 79.8 with two behemoths, a tank, and some other military equipment in the support group.

❌ The positions on the video are lost. They piled on so hard that there was almost no chance of repelling the attack. Most likely, there was at least 1 Terminator in support. The tank was the first to enter to pin the defenders to the ground, and the troops entered under its cover.

💩 Interestingly, the attacking forces from the enemy side were flying Soviet flags, which many Ukrainians still hold dear in their hearts, remembering their youth with 40 kopeck sausages.

👀 As attention is currently focused on Bakhmut, information about the battles in the Kreminna forests is rarely covered in the media. However, we maintain communication in that direction and monitor all changes. In recent days, the enemy has intensified their assaults, attacking our positions several times a day.

🔥 The Battle of Hürtgenwald: historical analogies of the battle for Kreminna

⚔️The battle in the German forests between Americans and Germans became one of the longest-lasting in World War II and the longest of any battle the US Army has ever participated in. It was characterized by high intensity, the involvement of a large number of personnel, and primarily took place in a forested area.

💬 We once spoke to soldiers who were transferred from Kreminna to Bakhmut during the winter, and it was from them that we first heard of this comparison. Among the military in that direction, it turned out to be popular, as it has some similarities.

👤 On the American side, there were well-trained infantry forces with no combat experience. On the German side, there were riflemen and Volksgrenadiers who were poorly trained but had officers with experience on the Eastern Front under the leadership of the famous "fireman of the front," Walter Model. You can read the details of the battle itself in open sources, where a lot of information is described, we recommend looking for information in English.

▶️ Losses on both sides were significant. However, it is worth noting that the American side suffered heavy losses due to a lack of combat experience, and the soldiers died under machine-gun fire so quickly that, according to their accounts, they didn't even have time to get to know each other properly. The German army, relying on the experience of its commanders and the network of fortifications known as the Siegfried Line, held the defense for a long time and initially quite effectively. As predicted, the US Army eventually won after almost five months of heavy fighting, but due to the large number of losses, the Allies unofficially considered this battle a defeat.

🤔It's not worth guessing now who corresponds to which side. It is important to understand that the Battle for Kreminna, in terms of scale and difficulty of conducting combat operations, is quite close to this very battle. People change, but wars don't change much. We need to believe in the Defense Forces and support them with all our efforts.

🧐It's interesting to observe the historical repetitions of combat actions because, besides historical value, they carry time-tested experience.

Situation on the frontlines as of April 10, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — local battles continue along the line of contact and artillery strikes from both sides. The enemy is conducting offensive actions in Serebryanske forestry along the power lines from the north and east.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — battles continue near the alley of roses and the railway station in Bakhmut, as well as south of the latter. The enemy has partial success near the "Avangard" stadium, but it is impossible to reflect it yet. The f***ers are trying to assault Khromove.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the katsaps continue to pressure from Krasnohorivka to the north to the railway. In Pervomaiske and Maryinka, the enemy's attempts to storm our positions continue, but no changes are recorded.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The situation in Bakhmut is difficult, but the enemy does not have significant success. Of course, under such pressure, leveling the front along the railway is a matter of time, but the tracks are not a panacea, and if the offensive potential of the militants of the "wagner" PMC does not decrease to a minimum, the pressure will continue on the western part of the city. The situation in the forests of Kreminna is difficult, although most positions are held, but globally the situation is becoming more complicated. The enemy sets an unchanged goal - to reach Lyman, so the number and quality of forces here must be taken into account.

⏺ We also received some rather unpleasant information that the militants shot our wounded captives in Bakhmut during the surrender. So you should take into account that surrendering is not a way out of the situation and is not a guarantee to save your life, as some people think. You endanger your life and the lives of your brothers, especially if they are wounded. Unfortunately, this is the reality of war, and no conventions work in it, no one will ever return the lives of soldiers.

🇭🇺 Hungary extends gas supply agreement with russia

📝Hungary has extended its agreement with Moscow for additional gas supplies and has agreed on preferential payment terms for the main volumes of fuel received from Gazprom. Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto announced this after negotiations in moscow with russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

📎Last year, the parties signed an agreement on additional gas supplies to Hungary beyond the volumes established by the long-term contract. "Gazprom will retain this option," Szijjarto noted. russia guaranteed gas supply security through the TurkStream pipeline.

🤡Szijjarto also reminded that "80-85% of gas supplies to Hungary are carried out directly from Russia. Therefore, their continuity and uninterrupted supply have fundamental and decisive importance."

🤕Recently, this Hungarian beaver traveled to belarus to "present a position of peace" in the Russian-Ukrainian war. He talked about objectivity because he "worries about the people who are being killed," but as we can see, this "objectivity" smells very much like russian gas🇷🇺

It has been noticed that the katsaps boast about their single successful assault in the area where they couldn't even manage to secure a position, but they don't show other failed attacks, of which there are plenty in that region. Here is one of them.
