🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️A short one from #KennethGregg: (1/5) "An intermediate report with some interesting events. During tonight, information about our successful advance at Staromaiorske will be released. Until then I can report that we have advanced up to 700 metres in Bakhmut itself. +
2:"This was announced by the press officer of the Eastern Army this afternoon.
We have blown up railway targets in Bilgorod and Melitopol with Kamikaze drones. Radar installations in Crimea have also been knocked out with missiles.

3:"...and today they have evacuated local collaborators and civilians in Armyansk who have been granted Russian passports. They have mined the chemical factory and its stockpile of 200 tonnes of technical ammonia used in the cooling equipment of the Crimean Titan factory. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/13) "At 03:00 the Ministry of Defence confirmed that Makarivka has been liberated. At the same time, Russian blogs informed that Ukrainian forces are in Staromaiorske. In terms of distance, this is quite realistic for a light motorised unit.+
2:"From a tactical point of view, it is logical to try to advance as quickly as possible before the Russians' reinforcement from Kherson Oblast arrives. it looks like the Russians think the same way and try to prevent us by blowing up a small dam again. +
3:"The river/channel is flooding but not to such an extent that it prevents us from attacking.
When we take Staromaiorske there is only 15 km left to where the Russians have the last defence unit. After that it is a clean road to Mariupol. That said, we use minimal troops and +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg this morning: (1/13): "We start with some sad news that show that we still have incompetent officers in our army. An ambush on a column of our armoured cars and tanks succeeded because we did not keep a distance between the vehicles. +
2:"When moving towards the front, a distance of 50 metres between vehicles must be kept, as every man in Finland knows. Keeping distance applies to both vehicles and men. We lost 1-2 Leopards in this ambush as well as other vehicles. It is not yet clear if one of the Leopards +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg a few minutes ago: (1/4) "72-48 hours ago our troops made advances from Vuhledar to Kupiansk, in order to check up on the resistance. On some front sections, the Russians have easily left their positions and we have taken some land back without much effort,+
2:"...this is especially true north of Vuhledar.
Our allied Russian separatists have also continued their offensive on the Russian side of the border. To remain on the other side of the border with so few men and little equipment IS embarrassing for the master leader. +

3:"When they also AGAIN drop glide bombs on their own cities, the compass is probably confused.
Even last night they sent drones and missiles towards Kyiv and other towns, again the same result: all shot down.

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg a few hours ago: (1/8) "Now I can inform you more about the front line status as of June 1st 2023.
Siverskyi and Bilhorod frontline: Right now there is a scheduled military operation in Shebekino inside the Russians' own territory. +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Some news from #KennethGregg: (1/12) "In the reporting from the General Staff we see minimal activity and many bloggers and others are getting frustrated that 'nothing is happening' on the front lines. I can guarantee you that we have an enormous amount of activity. +
2:"But everything is kept very secret for the time being. It was the same before our Kharkiv offensive, even I was very frustrated then and called for more troops to the north of Kharkiv to push out the Russians. This was because Kharkiv was under artillery fire day and night. +
3:"Then suddenly it happened and most of the Kharkiv oblast was liberated. Then, as now, our military commanders probably knew what they were doing. We have seen many times during this war that if they had done what all the so-called experts said, we would now have a disaster. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Our friend #KennethGregg in Ukraine here again: (1/6) "Business as usual on the fronts, which means that we continue to advance on the southern and northern flanks of Bakhmut. Our boys retook about 400 metres of our area in the same way as before, +
2:"...driving the Russians out of their holes. In addition, a dozen prisoners were taken. At this rate, the Russians will soon be deprived of people on this section of the front. On the northern flank, our control of the grey zone was strengthened. +
3:Avdiivka experiences new attack attempts but with the same result - destroyed Russian tanks and platoons.
The northern front is experiencing a new trend: Russian attacks!!! These attacks are repelled by our Home Guard battalions on site. +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg this morning: (1/9) "At Svatove we have a serious situation near Masiutivka. Prisoners and low-trained military soldiers from Shoigu's unit "storm-z" have arrived in the area, their personal equipment is almost non-existent. +
2:"Shoigu has copied Prigozhin's meat grinder strategy. A large number of aircraft have arrived, monitoring our positions 24/7. We can expect a Russian attack in this area and if successful they will be in position to storm Sinkivka and approach the contact line to Kupyansk.+
3:"At Avdiivka near Krasnohorivka we regained some of the lost areas we lost a few days ago and repelled their new attacks. The Russians continue to build up their reserves and reinforce at the contact line after significant losses in recent attacks. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg this morning: (1/8) "After 1 week of good news, it's time for some bad. In principle, the city of Bakhmut is now under the control of the Russians. They are making progress in the western part and there is not much left that is under our control. +
2:"However, we have finally liberated the Stupky area and continue to put pressure on the Russians south of Ivanivske.

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here: (1/6) "We are seeing a new trend on the Donbas front. Since we are pushing hard on the flanks in the north and south, Wagner has realised that the clock is ticking. Therefore, they are now giving everything to take the whole city, at high losses.+
2:"They are advancing, but to what avail if we manage to corner them. Since their reinforcements have been taken from Avdiivka, the Russians have gone on the defensive and their attacks have almost completely subsided. Their reinforcements have been placed on both flanks and +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg on the home front and corruption: (1/6) "Update on the home front and the major arrests department: The Supreme Court has long been known to take bribes, especially under President Poroshenko they were totally protected from investigation and prosecution.+
3:"President Zhelensky tried to address the problem at the beginning of his presidency but faced stiff resistance from the opposition and many of his own people. Apparently the judges of the Supreme Court felt quite safe so they have continued with their activities, until now. +
3:"Yesterday afternoon NABU and SAP performed a coordinated action and arrested the President of the Supreme Court Mr Knyazev for taking bribes amounting to USD 3 million. They then proceeded to search the court itself and found what you see in the picture. 
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg this morning: (1/9) "We start in Avdiivka where we are pushing Kruta Balka hard. This part of the front has been somewhat overlooked but it plays a major role in the strategy we are now following. As we are advancing towards Kruta Balka. +
2:"Kruta Balka is a main hub for the Russians so they cannot spare manpower from here. For the sake of clarity: it is only 14 kilometres from the front line to Makiivka. In the event of an attack and the capture of Makiivka, we have control of the maintenance lines to Donetsk.+
3:"In Bakhmut we continue to take ground. West of Klishchiivka, the Russians have retreated 1.5 kilometres to avoid being surrounded. Wagner has sent reinforcements to the community because their operations in Bakhmut itself would be threatened if they lose the position.+
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/7) "The biggest news in the last 24 hours is probably the loss of prestige for the Wagner boss (Prigozhin). Kadyrov switched sides and told him to stay behind and bleed to death. He sent his troops again to storm our positions. +
2:"A huge amount of phosphorus bombs has been used in the last two days. In using them, the enemy cannot send in their foot soldiers as the phosphorus and the small fires are not harmless to them either. +
3:"On to the frontline reporting:
SLOBODA FRONT: Russian artillery shelled our positions south of Vilshana, showing that our troops have advanced with two lines of trees towards the village.

2"... operation to increase the psychological pressure on the Russians. The fog of war has closed in as we get closer to the start of the major offensive. The major update sites are holding back and their reporting is almost gibberish (militaryland, deepstatemap, etc).+
3:"Around Bakhmut there are no changes except for an even more intensified theatre between the Wagners, the Chetchens and the Ministry of Defence. My opinion is that the Russian leader does not know what to do and therefore retreats and allows an open battle to see who will be +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/11) "The fronts are at a standstill. Right now there is more going on behind the scenes and within the Russian army.
I have mentioned in my previous posts that we have more advanced weapons than what has been shown in the media. +
I have mentioned in my previous posts that we have more advanced weapons than what has been shown in the media. +
2:"An example of this is our shooting down of a KH 47 Kinzal hypersonic missile over Kyiv Oblast. The army tried to cover this up but had to admit the facts when they realised that it was impossible to hide it. +
3:".When our offensive begins, many eyebrows will be raised when they see what we really have. The mayors of the front zones have turned to the media and asked the public not to photograph our troop movements.
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/14) "The Russians' massive reinforcements and the new meat grinder at Khromove has meant that the Russians now have an offensive momentum. We still hold Khromove but the Russians are pouring into our trenches in droves without caring for the +
2:"massive casualties. It is their reserves that are now in the meat grinders. In the city centre they advance westwards and at the railway station they levelled the high-rise buildings to the ground. Unfortunately, they now have enough artillery to give us a Dante's inferno. +
3:"We continue to delay their advance as much as we can but now we are at the limit of what we can do. If we can still stop them in the city and thus gain more time for our offensive, we will have done a day's work rarely seen in the history of warfare. +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again (1/9) "The new Russian reinforcements and the activation of the reserves have given the Russians new offensive momentum in Bakhmut. We abandoned the railway station and retreated a few blocks to the west. They also advanced towards the key road +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/9) "Bakhmut is as before, no significant advances. This is what you should know about Bakhmut:
1. We now have plenty of artillery in place

Since all the houses have been levelled, the Russians have created an open zone that now prevents them from advancing because we, with our artillery, erase their attempts to attack.+

3:"The situation is the same for us; the Russians' artillery mows us down if we attempt a counterattack. The railway line is also the dividing line between the centre and the western part of the city in the south. The Russians have also tried to storm the park to the north, +
🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/10) "It is now T minus 'something' until the major offensive. The new armoured vehicles and tanks have new recognition signs: a white arrow pointing to the left. This is normally done before a major event. +
2:"There are also pictures of our soldiers on Bradleys, supported by old modernised T55 tanks (yes, we have these too). Their task will probably be to enter during the so-called second wave and secure retaken ground. +
3:"Artillery and grenades are also pouring in and we have filled our fuel depots all along the front line. This detail is interesting by the way: during the Kharkiv offensive the depots were filled while the other fronts were at a standstill. +
