🔫 Our artillery is hitting the enemy at the intersection of Vokzalna Street and 1st pushkin Lane in Bakhmut. It seems that the Defense Forces have finally retreated west of the railway

Situation on the frontlines as of April 19, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — ongoing local battles along the contact line and artillery shelling from both sides. Updated frontline locations near Lyman Pershi and Pershotravneve. Attempts by the enemy to push the Defense Forces out of Serebryansky forestry continue.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — the enemy recorded video of the remains of Spirne village and claimed our forces have left the village. This propaganda tactic is not new, as it has already happened in October, December, and now again. The enemy has approached the route through Khromove, occupying the adjacent windbreak and trying to secure a position on the route. It is reported that the area around the windbreak is littered with the bodies of "wagner" PMC terrorists. The enemy continues to push south from the "Alley of Roses." Visual confirmations indicate that our troops have retreated behind the railway.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — battles continue near Novobakhmutivka. There was another attempt by the enemy to assault Nevelske with two BMPs. The BMPs were destroyed, but not all of the assault troops. In Maryinka, the enemy "continues to continue" assault actions, with no changes recorded.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — after several days of fighting, the enemy has achieved partial success north of Dorozhnyanka and at the Marfopol dachas.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Battles continue on the Bakhmut, Svatove, and Avdiivka directions.

🇺🇦🇵🇱"Integration of Ukraine into NATO and the EU will be the best investment in stability" - Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Mariusz Błaszczak

🗣"Ukraine must win this war. And then it must succeed in the post-war period when russia will aggressively try to destabilize Ukraine and the wider region <...>. Comprehensive integration of Ukraine into the Euro-Atlantic community will be the best investment in stability and prosperity for all of us," Błaszczak stated during an online discussion regarding the NATO summit in Vilnius in July.

✍️The minister also noted that while Muscowy is not ready to accept a political solution to the conflict that guarantees Ukraine's security, the West must continue to provide comprehensive support to allow Ukrainian forces to expel all occupiers from Ukrainian territory.

🫡"There is simply no room for discussing the cessation of war; the only way to end it is to defeat russia on the battlefield and hold it accountable for the crimes it has committed. Any other issues or discussions beyond this settlement will lead to the weakening of the democratic world, to the weakening of all of us (...) and open the door for other regimes, signaling the legitimacy of aggression and all these crimes," the Deputy Prime Minister expressed.

🔥 Yesterday, two katsap BMPs with a landing force headed from Pisky to the bridge, but the guys from the 59th Motorized Brigade had other plans. The landing force fled, and one of the BMPs went with its crew to meet stalin

🇷🇺 Russia's big winter-spring offensive has failed

💬 The map shows in pink the plans of the Katsaps for the end of spring 2023: to stand on the Vuhledar-Marinka line, capture Avdiivka and Bakhmut, go to the rear in Siversk, capture the forests of Kreminna and Lyman, and improve the strategic position near Kupiansk.

✒️ The gray area is the territory that records at least some significant enemy advances in the area. Of course, there is a significant success in Bakhmut and the surrounding area, and noticeable changes near Kreminna and Avdiivka. In other areas, there are only continuous failures.

🇺🇦Everyone is well aware that the initiative is now entirely on the enemy's side, but this failure did not happen for nothing. To prevent the enemy's plans from being realized, the Defense Forces have made titanic efforts, paying with blood and iron. The katsaps want to go to Kurakhove, Avdiivka, Sloviansk and Kramatorsk - they do, but they cannot. Over the year of war, their army has gained experience, but it is still the same Soviet "red-branded" army. Over the year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have become a large and strong military unit that is undergoing modernization and receiving technically superior weapons from Western partners.

Situation on the frontlines as of April 21, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — ongoing local battles along the contact line and artillery shelling from both sides. The enemy's artillery is particularly active in the Serebryansky forestry.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — the enemy continues to assault trenches near the highway through Kromove. Battles are ongoing near the "Alley of Roses" and the railway station: the outcome is unknown.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — situation clarified in Neskuchne. Yesterday, adjustments were made north of Novomykhailivka.A video of the enemy capturing one of the windbreaks near Nevelske appeared: more on this tomorrow. In addition, a video with 7 captured fighters from the 110th Mechanized Brigade appeared; based on the circumstances of the recording, this could be a staged video with captives who were captured earlier.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Clashes have been recorded in many locations along the contact line throughout the day. Although the enemy is globally exhausted, they are trying to restore their offensive potential by introducing new reserves. The Bakhmut defensive operation continues despite numerous enemy attacks and the destruction of the city.

🔄 Updates to the map will come tomorrow, as a lot of information still needs clarification.
