Situation on the frontlines as of May 8, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian and Siverskyi direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — the situation in Bakhmut has been updated. The front line is along Vyzvolyteli Donbasu, Chaikovskoho and Robochy streets. The enemy is storming the western part of the city. The main task of the katsaps now is to penetrate the multi-storey buildings and gain a foothold there. The enemy will not succeed in capturing Bakhmut entirely on May 9.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues north of Avdiivka. No changes have been observed in this area.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Fighting continues for the western part of Bakhmut. The enemy has significantly weakened recently, but due to a large reserve of human resources, they manage to maintain the initiative on many frontlines. Often, the price of this initiative is daily assaults on our positions using human waves, and this is not only about Bakhmut.

🇷🇺muscovy begins denunciation of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe

📜The order on denunciation was issued today by the dick and sent to the state duma.

🤷🏻‍♂️If you look at this agreement, it essentially means nothing. The treaty was signed by 16 NATO countries (Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United States, Turkey, and France) and 6 Warsaw Pact countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, USSR, and Czechoslovakia) in 1992. But in 1999, the agreement was renegotiated due to NATO membership expansion, and some Warsaw Pact "countries" had collapsed altogether.

🏎The updated version of the agreement provides for a transition from the bloc structure of the Treaty to national and territorial levels of armaments and equipment for each participating state. The Treaty imposed restrictions on the number of conventional armaments and combat equipment allowed for a single country, as well as procedures and temporary frameworks for reducing the number of armaments and equipment to specified limits. Accordingly, for each country, armament restrictions quotas were established: (tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters, and aircraft). (Initially, they planned to impose restrictions on bloc associations)

👀The most interesting fact – none of the NATO countries ratified the Treaty. The agreement was ratified only by four countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. And not everyone was eager to comply with it. Accordingly, the agreement did not enter into legal force.

🫠However, one of the main players in the Treaty could not leave its political vein alone, so there was a demonstration of exhibitions on the international stage. In 2007, muscovy announced the "suspension" of the Treaty's implementation. In 2015, the "suspension" was extended to participation in consultation meetings. And on May 10, 2023, denunciation of the agreement was announced.

🫡What does this mean? Absolutely nothing. No one was implementing the Treaty, it did not come into force, and it has no consequences. It's just another political show from a terrorist country. There is no need to build any conspiracy theories.

Situation on the frontlines as of May 10, 2023

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. As always, the situation is the most difficult in Serebryanske forestry.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — fighting continues in the city of Bakhmut and near Khromove. The situation in the Stupki tract is being clarified.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — fighting continues south and east of Avdiivka. The enemy claims success, the information is being verified.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — Defense forces are conducting targeted artillery attacks on enemy ammunition storage sites..

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. No significant changes were recorded along the combat contact line over the last day. Traditionally, the hottest areas of the frontline are Bakhmut and Avdiivka.

🔄 The map has been updated. Bakhmut and the flanks are still unchanged, but there are changes near Kruta Balka (Avdiivka), where the enemy has partial success in a small area

🗺Today, enemy maps began to circulate, showing that the enemy has already entered Avdiivka from three sides. This is not true. It looks like someone has taken a treebelt and reported to shoigu about great success. And then the Ministry of Defense spent the money on their pocket media projects.

🇬🇧🇺🇦UK Defense Secretary confirms intention to transfer long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine

💰US starts transferring Russian oligarch's money to Ukraine - Attorney General Garland

👮‍♂️Last year, the Ministry of Justice accused russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev of violating sanctions imposed on the horde after the start of the full-scale invasion. The oligarch provided funding for Muscovites who promoted separatism in Crimea. Also in February 2023, Garland initiated the first transfer of this money for use in Ukraine.

🗯«Although this is the first transfer by the United States of confiscated russian funds for the reconstruction of Ukraine, it will not be the last,» the minister emphasized.

🔹"Russia's ambitions are not limited to Ukraine, but go much further," - Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Rob Bauer

💭«Russia's war against Ukraine is the greatest threat to Euro-Atlantic security in decades. Moscow hoped that it would be a three-day war, but it has been going on for 15 months. <...> The strength and determination of the Ukrainian people and military do not leave us indifferent. NATO military commanders have assured us of their unwavering support. There is no doubt that NATO will support Ukraine for as long as it takes,» Bauer said during his speech at the press conference.

🇵🇱🇷🇺The Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Russian ambassador over an incident over the Black Sea and handed over a note of protest

🥴"We strongly condemn the provocative and aggressive behavior of the Russian side, which is a serious international incident," stated the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lukasz Jasina, on his Twitter.

✍️The spokesman added that around 10 o'clock in the morning, Ambassador Sergey Andreev appeared in the Ministry building, where he was acquainted with a note concerning the hostile capture of a border service plane that was performing a Frontex mission over Romania.

🇷🇺 This morning, the media was shaken by the news from the katsaps about their entrance into Avdiivka from three sides

🌒 This information is not being confirmed by our boys. On the contrary, during the day the katsaps are quiet, only firing artillery, and leaving the assaults for nighttime.

🚀For your attention, here is just a video of a hit on a f***ers' machine gun nest with an SPG-9 at that direction of the front.

⛰ 10th Mountain Assault Brigade "Edelweiss" took over enemy positions north of Bilohorivka(D) and captured a prisoner
