Situation on the frontlines as of May 17, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Siverskyi direction — no changes. Mutual attacks continue along the border.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. The battles continue near Masyutivka and Kuzemivka. The enemy has no successes.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — in the city, the katsaps continue to push the Defense Forces out of the city, fighting is taking place on the western edge of Bakhmut. Fighting continues in the Stupky tract and south of Ivanivske, the detailed situation in the area will be known tomorrow.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — another attempt by the enemy to attack Pervomaiske from the south with the support of armored vehicles failed. The enemy suffered numerous casualties and retreated. More detailed information will be available tomorrow.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Fierce battles are ongoing south of Ivanivske and in the Stupky area. The enemy is deceiving by publishing information that the Armed Forces of Ukraine easily took something and pushed back russian soldiers. This is done for domestic consumption. Our fighters from Adam Joint Tactical Group and Azov Brigade have to fight for every square meter. Tomorrow we will understand the situation more accurately, but we should not be comforted by Klishchiyivka, there are still heavy battles ahead for 233.3 and 215.7, and the adjacent forest belts.

🔄 The map update will take place in the afternoon.

🇷🇺 The results of yesterday's katsap attack on Pervomaiske, which is mentioned in the summary

✈️ The enemy suffered significant losses in manpower and retreated. The adjustments were made by the drone of the 59th Brigade, which was purchased with subscribers' funds. Even though it was lost, the result of dead f**kers was obtained.

Situation on the frontlines as of May 18, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Siverskyi direction — no changes. Mutual attacks continue along the border.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. The enemy is attempting to improve their tactical position near the Siversky Donets river.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — in the city, the katsaps continue to push the Defense Forces beyond its boundaries, fighting is ongoing on the western edge of Bakhmut. The battles have moved to the southern part of the Stupky tract and continue north of height 215.7. Near Sakko i Vantsetti, the Defense Forces have had some success.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — there were two attempts by the enemy to attack Pervomaiske from the south again. The katsaps had no success and traditionally lost a significant part of the attackers as casualties.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. Regarding Bakhmut, there is some lag in the enemy's advancement in the city, but it's not based on katsap sources, which everyone suddenly seems to be focusing on. The f**kers have not yet captured all of Bakhmut. An important point on the southern face of the Bakhmut salient. The enemy is playing an internal game with poor units of the russian armed forces. Indeed, our units have been having success for several days, but it takes time to publish them. But don't be fascinated by the work of the "artists", so as not to be disappointed in the real situation later.

🔄 The map update will take place in the afternoon.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian Defense Minister: russians lost 70 thousand killed and wounded in Bakhmut sector

💭"According to our estimates, they are losing a battalion a day and continue to do so. If you count, I think that today the Russians have suffered up to 70 thousand losses in the Bakhmut sector alone, I mean killed and wounded together," said Oleksiy Reznikov.

🏝 Katsaps connected the island of Dzharylgach with the occupied part of Kherson region by filling the crossing to the island with sand - Armed Forces of Ukraine

🇷🇺 This was done in order to intensively use the nature reserve territory of the national park for military purposes. In particular, the occupants have set up a military training ground on the island.

🛰 Satellite images confirm this fact.

Situation on the frontlines as of May 19, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Siverskyi direction — no changes. Mutual attacks continue along the border.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — localized fighting continues along the contact line. The enemy is trying to improve its tactical position using artillery.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — the line of contact in the city of Bakhmut has been updated. Many were worried that the map was outdated, but today Hanna Malyar reported about holding positions near the "airplane", so we decided to update the front. The enemy is making progress in the western part. The Defense Forces have finally liberated the Stupky tract and continue to put pressure on the katsaps south of Ivanivske.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — the enemy conducted 4 attacks on Pervomaiske. As a result: they lost a couple of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and a significant number of infantry were killed or captured. The enemy continues to accumulate reserves on the outskirts of Donetsk. North of Krasnohorivka, the enemy attacked our units, which lost positions all the way to the railway.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes.

🗂 Analytical note. The situation in the city of Bakhmut is nearing its logical conclusion. The enemy is having a hard time on the flanks, so additional reserves are being deployed, including from among the baboons of the so-called luhansk people's republic. North of Krasnohorivka, the enemy is partially successful, which will worsen the situation in Avdiivka. The katsaps continue their 9-month "groundhog day" in the Pervomaiske-Nevelske area.

Situation on the frontlines as of May 21, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian direction — no changes.

▶️ On the Siverskyi direction — no changes. Mutual attacks continue along the border.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the most severe situation near Masiutivka. Convicts and fighters of shoigu's pocket unit "storm-z" have arrived in this area, who send convicts without body armor ahead of themselves. Additionally, a large number of pilots have arrived, who are monitoring our positions 24/7 from several aircraft. We draw attention to this area, because in case of success, the enemy will have a better position for the storming of Sinkivka and approaching the contact line to Kupyansk.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — fighting continues near the SD-Donbas canal. Clarification in the area of Bohdanivka. In Bakhmut, the enemy captured multi-story buildings near the airplane. There were fights near Spirne, the result is unknown.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — near Krasnohorivka, it was possible to repel some of the positions. The enemy continues to build up their reserves and reinforce their forces at the contact line following significant losses in recent assaults. North and south of Donetsk, an increase in enemy engineering fortifications has been recorded.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — no changes. Defense Forces artillery worked well on enemy targets. An increase in enemy engineering fortifications has been recorded near Berdiansk, Melitopol, Kamianka and Dzhankoi.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes. The situation in the Dnipro estuary was clarified based on public videos.

🗂 Analytical note. Many have already written off Bakhmut, but there are no public proofs that the enemy, for example, is present at the gas station at the entrance to the city. Since everyone decided to "play" with the city's administrative boundaries, let's stick to these rules. The loss of Bakhmut became a matter of time after the enemy crossed the railway. When it becomes known that the katsaps control the city 100%, we will report it. Fuel to the fire is added by quite strange and vague statements of spokespersons, which instead of explaining the situation raise even more questions.

🔄 The map has already been updated.
