▪️150 pieces of artillery ammunition were supplied to the 5th Separate Assault Regiment's forward positions. At the same time, the unit started to have problems with the functioning of equipment due to lower air temperatures.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Bakhmut
situation by the end of February 28, 2023

🔻To the south of Yagodnoye, assault detachments of PMC "Wagner" established control over the hills and approached Artemovsky (Khromovo). The last physical supply route for the Armed Forces of Ukraine runs through this suburb of Bakhmut.

▪️In addition, the “Wagnerites” advanced in the area of the meat processing plant and reached one of the sites on the banks of the Bakhmutka River.

🔻In the east of the city, Russian units aligned the front line along Shchedraya Street in Zabakhmutovka. In the south, the Wagnerites reached Tselyannaya Street, and in Sobachevka they are fighting in residential areas.

▪️At the moment, the situation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has noticeably worsened. A partial withdrawal of Ukrainian formations to the opposite bank of Bakhmutka is currently underway - new firing positions are being set up in the central districts of the city.

🔻In the south-west of Bakhmut, regular raids by Wagner PMC units on Ukrainian positions near the highway to Konstantinovka and in Krasnoe make it possible to tie down the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the southern front.

On March 6, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine plans to transfer additional reinforcements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from various formations to Chasov Yar. Now the personnel are completing their training in training centers in the west of Ukraine.

▪️Ukrainian artillery groups are firing at the offensive areas of Russian units. At the same time, the issuance of ammunition is strictly rationed due to problems with the supply of shells. Target designation is provided by UAV calculations - 24 drones were spotted in Bakhmut and its environs per day.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Bakhmut
Situation as of 13.00 March 26, 2023

🔻In the north of Bakhmut, the Wagner assault detachments" successfully cleared the territory of the industrial zone of the "Artyomovsk Metal Processing Plant" (AZOM) - the system came under the full control of Russian units.

🔻To the south, the positional offensive of Russian units continues in the Sobachevsky and Budenovsky districts. The "Wagnerites" entrenched themselves behind Mariupolskaya Street, cleared the territory of school No. 5 and are now fighting near the bus station.

▪️ In Budenovka, the assault detachments have advanced significantly towards Stella Mig-17 - clashes are taking place almost at the very monument. In addition, the territories adjacent to the Avangard stadium and several blocks near the market have been liberated.

🔻In the north-west, positional battles continue on the line Orikhove- Vasylivka - the route to Slavyansk. The settlement is currently in the gray zone, control over the strongholds is changing hands.

❗️At the moment, the Wagner men, with the support of the regular army, are advancing in Bakhmut itself. In the suburbs and surroundings of Bakhmut, positional battles are taking place, the purpose of which is to pin down the enemy's resources.

However, on the Druzhkovka- Kostyantynivka - Chasiv Yar line, significant forces of the AFU have accumulated. Also, reinforcements from the 81st Airmobile Brigade were partially transferred to Seversk.

The AFU are planning a counterattack on the positions of the Wagner PMC near Bakhmut. Probably, in order to stretch the front line and contain the Russian Armed Forces, several distracting strikes from Seversk, Toretsk and Slavyansk will be carried out along with the main attack on Bakhmut.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Battle for Bakhmut
Situation as of 16.00 April 8, 2023

🔻In Bakhmut, the Wagner assault detachments" completely liberated the stadium "Avangard", for which there were fights over the past few days, as well as school No. 7 adjoining it, a teacher training college and an agricultural lyceum on Kovalskaya and Blagoveshchenskaya streets.

▪️ Slightly to the north, the “Wagner men” advanced from the Atlantic Hotel from the southeast and the Church of All Saints from the northeast along the upper park, practically reaching the Saltovsky meat-packing plant and the Bakhmutskaya bus station.

▪️ Fierce fighting continues near the Bakhmut railway station, where the AFU Forces deployed an assault group to hold their positions. To the north, after the liberation of the police station, the "Wagner men" attack the areas near the Bakhmut pre-trial detention center.

▪️ According to some reports, PMC assault teams successfully knocked out formations of the 24th Aidar detachment of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade of the AFU from the vicinity near the MiG-17 stele in the south-west of the city. The enemy withdrew north of the Airplane.

🔻The main events of the battle for Bakhmut are developing in the city center near the railway line. The significance of the positions near the station is quite high, since the liberation of this quarter will greatly facilitate the assault on the western outskirts of Bakhmut and force the AFU to withdraw troops behind Chaikovsky and Levanevsky streets to save the lives of personnel.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Soledar direction: liberation of Artemovsky (Khromovo)
Situation as of 19:00, November 29, 2023

On the flanks of Bakhmut, Russian troops have taken the initiative from the enemy, who depleted their resources in unsuccessful attempts to encircle the city.

🔻In the northwest of Bakhmut, units of the 98th Guards Airborne Division successfully repelled an attack at the Berkhovsky reservoir and launched a counteroffensive towards Bogdanovka and Khromovo (Artemovsky).

▪️ As a result, Russian paratroopers have expanded their control around the reservoir (regaining what the AFU had occupied for several months at the cost of hundreds of lives) and have advanced successfully towards Khromovo.

▪️ Even during the assault on Bakhmut itself by the forces of the Wagner PMC, the village was important for supplying the garrison of the AFU. Now, the liberation of the settlement will create the conditions for putting pressure on the southern outskirts of Bakhmut.

🔻Khromovo is located near Krasnoye (Ivanovskoye) - the village from which the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Kleshcheevka and the surrounding area were shelled. Now, units of the Russian Army will be able to strengthen their positions at the Bakhmut dachas and in the direction of Krasnoye, attacking from two sides.

▪️ The changes in the front line configuration have already affected the situation at Kleshcheevka, where the intensity of the fire has significantly decreased. It is likely that some of the guns and mortars have been withdrawn from the front line.

▪️ Currently, fighters of the Russian Armed Forces are systematically pushing back the AFU from the approaches to Kleshcheevka. The village itself is not of significant importance due to its location in the lowlands. The heights to the north and in the direction of Krasny are important, and that's where the struggle is taking place.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Direction: Soledar: Russian Armed Forces launch successful attacks in multiple areas
Situation as of 11:00 on December 6, 2023

The recent liberation of Artemovsky (Khromovo) can be seen as a transfer of initiative to the Russian army in Bakhmut. Currently, the Russian Armed Forces are simultaneously attacking in three areas, leading to a deteriorating situation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

🔻On the southern flank of Bakhmut, combined Russian units have successfully stormed the heights near Kleshcheevka. This has allowed the Russian Armed Forces to capture the strategically important height 235.7 to the north of the village.

▪️ Control over this position enables constant surveillance of all approaches to Kleshcheevka and landings to the north towards Krasny (Ivanovsky). The formations of the AFU's 5th Brigade are unable to counter this due to the complete dominance of the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️ Moreover, the soldiers of the 102nd Regiment of the 150th MRD of the Russian Armed Forces are making significant progress in their offensive in a cooperative southwest of Bakhmut, which was lost back in June. Further advancement will severely weaken the AFU's positions in Krasny.

🔻To the northwest, Russian paratroopers continue their assault from the Berkhovsky reservoir. The current fighting is focused on an important stronghold located in the Villanova nursery.

▪️ At the same time, units of the 92nd battalion of the AFU's 107th Territorial Defense attempted a counterattack from the outskirts of Bogdanovka, but the attack was easily repelled. In a retaliatory strike, the enemy assault group was destroyed.

🔻Furthermore, Russian fighters have intensified their offensive in the north of Soledar. Operating from Belogorovka, the Russian Armed Forces have managed to significantly breach the AFU's defenses along the railway line east of Vesyoly.

▪️ This advance enables the Russian forces to begin covering the Vesyoloye - Razdolovka line, which complicates the position of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade in the area. A further offensive may force the enemy to retreat.

❗️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Soledar direction: prospects for attacking Chasiv Yar situation as of 09:00, December 15, 2023

The Russian troops are continuing their offensive operation in the Soledar direction. The main focus is on gaining operational space to break into the fortified area of the AFU near Chasov Yar.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces have managed to advance to the southeastern outskirts of Orikhove-Vasilevka (fighting is ongoing for Balka Kudlin), expand the zone of control from Dubovo-Vasilevka towards Grigorovka, and also reach the eastern outskirts of Bogdanovka.

The forest belt south of the eastern tip of Bogdanovka is under enemy control. We have managed to establish a foothold on the Grigorovka-Bogdanovka road.

▪️ To the south, fighting is taking place around the turn to the highway to Chasiv Yar from the side of Khromovo. After capturing the Bakhmutsky Shlyakh autodrome, units of the Russian troops have started firing at the positions of the AFU to the west.

▪️ To the west of Bakhmut, the Kamerton detachment, formed from former fighters of the Wagner PMC, is clearing the western outskirts of the dachas in the direction of Ivanovsky (Krasny). In two days, they have managed to expand the zone of control in the private sector.

▪️ After occupying the dominant height 215.7 on the northwestern outskirts of Kleshcheevka, Russian troops are expanding the zone of control. From the heights, the Russian Armed Forces control the advance routes and approaches of the AFU to Kleshcheevka.

▪️ To the east of Andreevka, the Russian Armed Forces are making efforts to regain control of the dams in front of the railway track.

🔻A head-on assault on Chasov Yar, located at the heights, is a difficult task (mines, quarries, and several forests with tracts cannot be taken at once). Most likely, the Russian Armed Forces will bypass the fortified area from the north and south, which is why the offensive is being carried out in the direction of Grigorovka.
