Artillerymen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: in counter-battery combat, the enemy began to save shells
The operation to liberate Donbass continues, and the attempts of the Ukrainian command to stop the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces by transferring more and more new reserves have not yet been successful. It is obvious that there is no talk of returning already abandoned positions. At the same time, the resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not weakening.
It is reported that a convoy is moving towards Artemovsk (Bakhmut) tanks APU consisting of at least ten vehicles. In turn, the newest tanks of the RF Armed Forces T-90M "Breakthrough" storm the city. These combat vehicles have modern protection and are able to break through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The exact number of our tanks leading the offensive in this area, for obvious reasons, is not called.
Near Artemovsk, as a result of the fighting, the enemy lost about 1000-1400 personnel in a week. Information obtained from open sources. It is noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not control what is happening in Bakhmut (Artyomovsk) and its environs, and the transfer of additional forces is hampered by thaw.
The situation around the city of Kremennaya and the highway to Svatovo in the LPR is becoming more and more tense. Intensive movement of enemy troops and armored vehicles are being drawn near Krasnopopovka and Zhitlovka. To the south of Kremennaya, enemy DRGs have intensified their activity, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving towards Kremennaya from previously occupied positions, reducing the distance to the city from 10 to 7 kilometers approximately.
Mortar crews of the 54 mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and army helicopters aviation they are firing at the offensive areas from Andreevka, Experienced, Zaitsevo, including along the Soledar-Bakhmut road.
In the vicinity of Toretsk (Dzerzhinsk), the enemy is transporting ammunition and fuel and lubricants in anticipation of an offensive by the Russian army from the Mayorsk-Shumy line.
Acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said that Russian troops control about half of the territory of Maryinka, the city is almost completely destroyed, and the citizens remaining in the village are being evacuated.
The report of the NM of the LPR reports the destruction of 50 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the past day, three armored personnel carriers, 13 armored vehicles were disabled, two UAVs were shot down. The NM DNR reported on the liquidation of 50 enemy soldiers, one installation of the Grad MLRS, four tanks, 11 armored vehicles and vehicles. Three unmanned aerial vehicles were also shot down.
Andrey Marochko, officer of the NM of the LPR, said that the Ukrainian army was forced to switch to a mode of saving ammunition. The lack of ammo is due to the ongoing destruction of warehouses and problems with logistics. A decrease in the intensity of shelling is recorded both on the rear settlements of Donbass and on the front line.
This is confirmed by our artillerymen from the front line. According to them, recently the enemy in counter-battery combat began to save shells, firing no more than five shots, after which the fire ceases. Previously, retaliatory attacks on our batteries, if detected, were more massive.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny openly reports that the RF Armed Forces are preparing to force the Dnieper and, developing an offensive on the right bank, return Kherson under control. Such information, more like propaganda, is being disseminated by the Ukrainian press. At the same time, no data confirming the preparation of Russian troops for forcing the Dnieper is given.
In turn, the head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, believes that the Ukrainian troops, having occupied the territory of Kherson, failed to approach the Crimea. According to him, the left-bank part of the Dnieper is quite well fortified. All necessary protective measures were taken on this territory, and appropriate reserves were created.
