🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation
for February 14, 2024

The Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) once again launched a combined attack on Crimea. Five air targets were intercepted near Yalta and Feodosia, and three more were suppressed as they approached Anapa.

Simultaneously, in the southern part of the Crimean peninsula near the village of Katsiveli, unmanned boats of the AFU attacked the large landing ship Caesar Kunikov. Two sea drones were sunk, but four more reached their target, causing the ship to sink.

In the Avdeevsky region, Russian troops took control of the Avdeevsky motor depot in the northwestern part of the city, advancing towards Industrialny Prospekt. The consolidation of the Russian Armed Forces in this area will significantly disrupt logistics for the AFU in the city.

In the Ugledar region, Russian troops are storming Novomikhailovka from multiple directions. In the south of the village, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing along Timiryazev Street, and during the fighting, they managed to occupy part of the Sintezprodservice industrial zone. The Russian forces also have control over the territory of the cemetery.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the Special Military Operation
For February 28, 2024

In the last 24 hours, the Russian Armed Forces conducted a series of strikes on targets within the territory known as Ukraine. In Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), they targeted the headquarters of the AFU Forces group in the Donetsk area, and in Odessa, they hit a BEC warehouse located in the Yuzhny Sea Trade Port.

Russian troops are advancing on multiple fronts. Near Bakhmut, units of the Russian Armed Forces made significant progress in Krasnoye (Ivanovsky), gaining control over half of the settlement.

In the Avdeevsky sector, the enemy's defenses showed vulnerability again: Russian troops successfully liberated Berdychi and Tonenkoye, while in Orlovka, only the northern outskirts of the village are left to be cleared. Currently, the AFU are working to establish new defensive lines quickly.

In the Kherson region, the so-called MTR units of Ukraine attempted to land on the Tendra Spit, but failed. The confrontation led to a shooting battle where Russian soldiers sank three high-speed boats and captured one.

On the Avdeevsky front, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are counterattacking Russian troop positions on the eastern outskirts of Berdychi. Ukrainian units are still present in isolated areas around Tonenkoye and Orlovka.

In the Bakhmut area, the enemy is attempting to reclaim control over previously lost positions in Bohdanivka. Reports from Druzhkovka indicate the initiation of the evacuation of Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Special Military Operation Chronicles
For March 13, 2024

During the night, Ukrainian forces once again launched attacks on critical fuel and energy infrastructure across various regions of Russia. Simultaneously, the Russian Armed Forces successfully struck the airfield of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the eastern part of the Dnipropetrovsk region.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine persist in their attempts to breach the state border in the Belgorod region, concentrating their forces in multiple areas. However, the enemy has yet to achieve any significant success.

Moving to the Donetsk direction in Pervomaisky, Russian units managed to advance to the village center within 24 hours, covering a distance of up to a kilometer, while also successfully removing the enemy from a strategic position north of the village in Georgievka.

In the Zaporizhia direction of the front, intense fighting is ongoing in Robotyne and its surroundings, as the enemy attempts to dislodge Russian units from their positions on the southeastern outskirts of the village. Despite this, the Russian Armed Forces were able to secure one of the heights near Verbov during the attack.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Special Military Operation Chronicles
for March 15, 2024

Ukrainian forces are active in the border area but have not achieved any success yet. Last night, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a landing near the village of Kozinki in the Belgorod region. However, there is still a high concentration of enemy forces in the area.

A notable event of the day was a successful Russian strike on a target in Odessa, during which the locations of the Lyut and Tsunami units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were covered, including command staff.

Intense fighting is ongoing in the Avdeevsky direction, where the enemy has gathered large reserves. Additionally, there are reports of enemy personnel being destroyed with TOS-1A heavy flamethrower systems near the village of Orlovka, indicating partial clearing of "pockets."

In the Bakhmut direction, Russian troops are gearing up for a further offensive towards Chasova Yar, which has been under consistent aviation and artillery attack for weeks. Despite this, the AFU still retains control of the dominant heights.

Simultaneously, during the Russian presidential elections, the enemy attempted to disrupt state events. Facilities with polling stations on the left bank of the Kherson region were targeted, and several provocations occurred in the rear regions.

for March 20, 2024

In the Slobozhansky direction, the intensity of clashes has notably decreased. After a week of fighting and significant losses in manpower and equipment, the enemy partially withdrew units from the border while continuing to shell the Belgorod region.

In the Avdeevsky direction, Russian troops are striving to reach the left bank of the Durnaya River, opening up the possibility of an offensive towards Semenovka and Umansky. In the Donetsk direction, Russian troops are engaged in combat on the southern outskirts of Krasnohorivka.

In the Zaporozhye direction, Ukrainian formations are concentrating on reinforcing the second line of defense in the Orekhov area. In Robotyne, Russian troops' attempts to advance west of the village have not yet succeeded, and the enemy is rotating.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Updates on the special military operation
March 21, 2024

Russian troops conducted a large-scale raid on enemy targets in Kyiv and the surrounding region for the first time since winter. This operation involved the use of cruise and hypersonic missiles, specifically targeting industrial and warehouse facilities. Additionally, the Russian Armed Forces launched an attack on a facility in Nikolaev.

In the Slobozhansky region, the enemy is continuing to retreat from the border following the unsuccessful offensive towards the Belgorod region. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces persist in shelling settlements in the area.

Moving on to the Bakhmut area, Russian troops successfully seized the territory of the former railway station on the right bank of the Alabaster headquarters located south of Kleshcheevka. However, securing their position in the rest of the region near the reservoir presents a challenge due to the lack of visible progress.

In the Avdeevsky sector, the enemy forces were ousted from Tonenkoye, and the village is now under full control of the Russian military. Currently, there are ongoing battles for forested areas to the north and south of the village. Capturing these locations will pave the way for the Russian Armed Forces to advance towards the Umanskoye-Semyonovka line.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Chasiv Yar: Advance in Krasnoe and Surrounding Areas
Situation by 17:00, March 23, 2024

The Russian Armed Forces made significant progress in the Bakhmut region, pushing the enemy out of Ivanovo and securing several strategic points.

Reports of the offensive emerged yesterday, and today the Russian Ministry of Defense declared full control over Ivanovsky, although the clearing of the settlement is still ongoing.

Moving northwards, Russian forces advanced along the O0506 highway, eliminating enemy presence in multiple forested areas and approaching the outskirts of the forest overlooking the Kanal microdistrict, also known as Novoye.

Furthermore, on the northern outskirts of Ivanovsky, the enemy was expelled from a section of the fortified area on Mount Baba on the eastern edge of the Stupki-Golubovskie-2 nature reserve. However, Russian forces either could not or chose not to penetrate deeper into these woodlands.

Fierce battles are ongoing on the western outskirts of Ivanovo, which are closely connected to the Stupki tract, where well-fortified enemy positions on a hill provide views of the settlement's western outskirts.

To the south, there are reports of Russian Armed Forces advancing, with several forest clearings being captured towards the southeastern outskirts of the Stupki tract.

Additionally, there are reports of progress in the Kleshcheevka area, where Russian forces managed to dislodge the enemy from multiple positions in the Alabaster headquarters region.

The Russian Armed Forces continue to carry out strikes against identified targets in the front-line zone of the Kharkiv region and in the territory of the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), while the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have reduced the intensity of shelling the Russian border area.

In the Seversk sector, positional battles are taking place on the approaches to the chalk quarry dump east of Belogorovka, as well as in the area of the filtration station. The enemy is assembling a troop group in the nearby rear, likely in preparation for a defense breach.

In the Bakhmut sector, Russian troops are advancing towards Chasiv Yar from the eastern side, launching a heavy artillery strike on AFU positions in the Kanal microdistrict. There are also engagements in the Stupki-Golubovskie forest zone.

In the Avdiivka sector, clashes were observed along the Semenivka - Berdychiv line, with rocket artillery supporting the Russian Armed Forces. To the west of Tonenke, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing towards Umansky.

In the Zaporizhia sector, the enemy is establishing a second line of defense in the Orekhov area. Russian troops, in turn, are actively and effectively using Lancet missiles, including against Ukrainian tanks.

In the Kherson sector, Ukrainian marines are holding positions in Krynychky. The group is resupplied by air with equipment dropped from drones. Simultaneously, the AFU have deployed over 60 attack drones to the front line.

Intense fighting is also occurring near Avdiivka, where the Russian Armed Forces are advancing to the west of Tonenke and launching an assault on the AFU defenses in Semenivka. In response, the enemy is attempting flank attacks southwest of Tonenke and counterattacking in the Pervomaisky area towards Vodyanoy.

There have been significant blows as well. Ukrainian forces targeted the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant in Enerhodar, disabling the substation, but a disaster and radioactive substance leakage were averted.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Chasiv Yar: Russian Armed Forces' Progress on the eastern outskirts of the city
situation as of 17:00, April 7, 2024

▪️ In the Bakhmut sector, Russian troops are consolidating their position on the eastern outskirts of the Kanal microdistrict near Chasovoyarsky School No. 77, but it is uncertain if the school itself is under their control.

The enemy attempted to counterattack and dislodge the Russian Armed Forces from their positions but was unsuccessful. Most of the microdistrict remains under enemy control, with a high-rise building offering a strategic defensive advantage.

However, there are extensive areas to the north and south of the microdistrict that can be bypassed to cut off supplies, compelling the enemy to retreat further into the city. Front-line aviation is consistently targeting the positions of the AFU in urban areas, with Ukrainian howitzers and tanks frequently becoming Lancet targets.

▪️ Reports indicate that the AFU have initiated an organized withdrawal of some units west of Krasnoye. Retreating units from Bogdanovka are setting up mines along the approaches to Kalinovka, establishing a new defensive line along the Seversky Donets - Donbass canal.

The approaches to the canal are heavily mined, complicating any attempted crossings. There were reports during the day of Bogdanovka being completely under control, but objective confirmation is still pending.

▪️ According to some sources, north of Krasny, the Russian Armed Forces are maneuvering through a forested area at an elevated position overlooking the village.

▪️ In Kleshcheevka, Russian troops targeted an AFU field warehouse with an MLRS attack, while the village largely remains in a state of uncertainty.
