The Russian troops involved in the special military operation in Ukraine continue to act in accordance with the plans of the command, pushing the enemy out of the borders of Donbass and holding firm defenses in the rest of the front.
Operational summary from the special operation zone for the past day.
While Zelensky loudly declares the need to fight for the besieged Bakhmut (Artemovsk) to the last Ukrainian soldier, in the city itself, the militants began to undermine heavy equipment. The completion of the operational encirclement may take place in the very near future, and the example of Soledar does not greatly inspire the Bakhmut defenders to be in a cauldron under fire from Russian artillery in anticipation of tough mopping up actions from Wagner fighters.
Russian units, supported by artillery, are carrying out assault operations in the direction of Ivanovsky southwest of Artemovsk, there is a small advance on the eastern outskirts of the city.
It is reported about the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Artemovsk and the surrounding area. According to some reports, Ukrainian units lose about 300-500 militants per day, only the wounded, and the total number of those killed is approaching 1700 “two hundredths”. Basically, the most unfired units from the last waves of mobilization and the fighters of the defense are crushed by artillery fire. The founder of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, appealed to Zelensky with an appeal not to withdraw troops from Bakhmut in any case and to fight for the city to the last, the press service of a private military company reports.
Information about the urgent evacuation of the inhabitants of the city announced by the administration of Slavyansk in anticipation of the approach of the front to this settlement is confirmed.
To the north of Soledar, Wagner PMC fighters have established control over Nikolaevka and are advancing along the highway and the railway line to Razdolovka and Pereezdnoye, approaching Seversk from the south.
Southwest of Krasnaya Gora, in Paraskovievka, Russian volunteers attacked a stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To the north-west of Soledar, assault operations are underway in the Vasyukovka area.
In the Lugansk Republic, Russian troops continue to attack from Dibrovka in a northerly direction, the task of pushing Ukrainian units back across the Zherebets River is being implemented. In the Krasno-Limansky sector, ours continue to fight for the mastery of the large beam Zhuravka, the small beam had previously been taken under the control of the Russian military.
After the recent destruction of a large ammunition depot in Kherson, the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine went into a real hysteria. Angry comments by Ukronazis appear on the net, in which they are outraged by the decision to place a warehouse with ammo near the front line, in a city that is constantly under fire from the Russian Armed Forces. Complain about the acute shortage of shells.
American instructors and German engineers arrived at the Yavoriv training ground of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Lviv region near the Polish border. It is planned to train the Ukrainian military in the management and combat coordination of the brigade and corps level, including with the use of armored formations. The Americans will take care of it. The Germans, in turn, are conducting a comprehensive analysis of the road network for the transportation of heavy tanks and determine the deployment sites of repair and restoration stations and warehouses of spare parts for them.
The arrival of the first German Leopards and British Challengers to Ukraine is expected at the end of March. After that, we should expect reports from the Russian Defense Ministry about missile strikes on the test site, similar to those that were carried out in March last year. According to the Russian military department, up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large batch of foreign weapons were destroyed then.
