"Achievements" of the #RussianArmy

Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin, despite not feeling well, held a meeting via video call with representatives of the security and military leadership.

Unlike in previous days, the president patiently listened to the reports and even took part in the discussion of urgent issues yesterday. Representatives of the military bloc leadership reported that they had "completely destroyed" one of the Patriot systems...

It's Thursday meaning it's #ThrowbackLoss time! About this day year ago #Russia attempted Siverskyi Donets river crossing near Bilohorivka in Luhansk oblast. You've surely heard this name before. This photo dated exactly 11 May 2022 is why.

The name of the place has since become an epitome of #RussianArmy incompetence as well as #Ukraine's ability to exploit it at the right time and in what appears to be incredibly efficient manner.

There's an evidence of up to a 100 armoured vehicles #Russia lost in the vicinity of Bilohorivka over the course of nearly two weeks, which is more than a brigade worth of material: ukr.warspotting.net/search/?bellig…

Ein RuZze erzählt, der wegen Tötungen in Russland im Gefängnis saß und 3 Monate vor der Entlassung in den Dienst von Russlands Tötungsapparat in die Ukraine geschickt wurde, um ukrainische Kinder zu töten.1/🧶

Auf Befehl von Jewgeni Prigozhin erschossen sie 20 Kinder, sprengten eine Grube mit 60 Verwundeten und räumten Wohngebiete. Zwei Wagnerianer, Azamat Uldarov und Oleksiy Savichev, erzählten im Film Putler PMC des Gulag-Net-Projekts die grausamen Details der Folter an Ukrainern 2/

Gerasimov: "we are waiting for when the motherfucker will die"

Yesterday, #Putin was distracted from his rest twice. Once for a meeting with Vitaly Mutko and the second time for a meeting with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs.

The participants of the meeting noticed that the president was holding a meeting in a red shirt with four top buttons unbuttoned, without a jacket, which had never happened before. During the meeting, which was held via video call, #Putin listened to reports on...

1/ Ukraine TVD, 20 FEB-07 APR 23. The past 7 weeks saw a continuation of the Russian Winter Offensive as major pushes continued in Kreminna, Bakhmut, and Avdiivka. Russia made important gains, Ukrainian defenses continue to hold. #UkraineRussiaWar #RussianArmy #UkraineFrontLines

2/ Current weather outlook for the Ukraine TVD. The mud season will continue to impede maneuver, especially in severely restricted terrain. The weather favors small-scale assault forces. Night operations will continue to be difficult.

3/ Operational Terms. To assist in easy of comprehension of the threads graphics, here is a list of commonly used terms and their definitions. (note: I am still refining and updating this list, please bear with me as I do, thank you).

Hello there!
despite #Prigozhin "performative talks"...
#Bakhmut is still not fully under Russian control. far from it...
have a good day you all!
1/

2/ Partial Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on April 3rd, 2023 #RussianArmy is stuck everywhere as explained last weeks. Only progress are in downtown #Bakhmut #Wagner troops still fighting to seize their only possible real victory.
#UkraineMap

3/ it's true that Wagner troops are progressing downtown and we have some direct visual confirmations to assess the situation in this specific area of the frontline.
but the UKr moving "out" seems still totally under control as they are totally managing their flanks.

Here's March updates to photo documented #Russia losses in #UkraineWar. These are not supposed to be monthly but since we've been busy with development and data processing lately *types with Rober De Niro voice* this is what it is 🤷‍♂️

But since they are, here's some higher level view of what's #RussianArmy has been up to last month. First, with little over 300 losses added, it successfully attacked... 3000 figure for IFVs and 1700 for tanks lost, pretty much as expected.

Speaking of the equipment types here's top 🇷🇺 losses in March:
🥇 106 IFVs
🥈 77 tanks
🥉 36 trucks
+ 13 SPGs & 13 MRLs
+ 10 AA systems etc, check out yourself: ukr.warspotting.net/search/?bellig…

1/ Partial Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on April 1st, 2023 #RussianArmy is stuck everywhere as explained last weeks. Only progress are in downtown #Bakhmut
#Wagner troops still fighting to seize their only possible real victory.
#UkraineMap

2/ so #Russia still help #Wagner to continues efforts to size the city of #Bakhmut but they are not really willing to push through the flanks and lose thousands of soldiers to help them in the process.
so UKR Lines of Communication & Supply (LOCS) remain secure for now. so

3/ so Ukr are able to receive all the direct support needed and are also able to do medevac and to switch units when needed.
they are pretty much "controlling the retreat" if we can put it like that, as i just received some news that Wagner are still progressing downtown.

Over 50% of Putin's army may now be KO'ed: my new Kyiv Post story

With >660K possible casualties, Moscow's disintegrating army may have just hit a desperate new milestone: It’s officially combat ineffective

#Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineRussianWar

Of ∼800,000 initial Russian invasion force and troops added later, Ukraine estimated 166,570 were killed as of 3/21

Based on Western estimates of a 3-to-1 wounded-to-killed ratio for Russian losses in the war, that means ∼500,000 wounded, for a total of ∼666,000 casualties /2

Of the Russian wounded, based on calculations using data from previous wars and reports from the current war, I estimate 250,000 have returned to battle, 150,000 still getting medical care and 100,000 are permanently out of action 3/

1/ Operational situation update/ #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on March 21, 2023
#RussianArmy is no more giving the tempo of ongoing operations along the front-line. Weak attacks are recorded everywhere except in the #Avdiivka area on small zones outside the city.
#UkraineMap

2/ As the situation in #Avdiivka is very fluid (i have recorded dozens of attacks/counterattacks last week, to draw the exact FEBA line is not realist, but according to several reports it is likely looking like below to date. Ru are now trying to go with their previous moves,

3/ so going on the direction & led offensive actions in the areas of #Novobakhmutivka, #Krasnohorivka, #Avdiivka itself, #Syeverne, #Pervomayske but despite huge ressources in materials & men were not able to really capitalize anywhere where offensives took place. only small

#RussianArmy has stalled almost everywhere.
All Ru forces seems to be employed in the area of #Bakhmut & #Avdiivka. some minor progress have been noticed in few places
nothing dramatic.
#UkraineMap

2/ Generally speaking the situation is the same as yesterday and both parties and several sources agrees on the fact, nothing has really changed so far on the frontline. so no need for big "blahblah".
the only location where Russians are progressing is south #Bakhmut & that"s it

3/ to be more precise Gen staff indicates it has stopped the Ru progress in the north of the city (first time mentioning precisely a location there) & with lots of Geolocs from AFU in the south & diff Ru true reports, there is obvious progress for them there.
