🇺🇦🧵🗣️Another report from Kenneth Gregg #UkraineUnderAttaсk : (1/15) "This morning, starting with the activities of the Russians, we can now conclude that #Bakhmut is certainly their big target. On the #Bakhmutske-#Semyhiria line they attack with everything they have. ⬇️

2:"Most of the fighting is over open fields and small groves. In this area it is still about 10 km to our main line of defense. North of Bakhmut and around #Sloviansk they have not advanced at all - on the contrary they are being pushed back in these areas.⬇️

3:"A worrying trend the Russians show is that they have started to use Ukrainian uniforms (Nato standard) with our recognition marks. This is a war crime, but what can you expect from Russians?

So to the our successes before I bring up the 'Forgotten Kharkiv'.⬇️

4:"We have knocked out arms depots in #Alchevsk, which has been occupied since 2014. Since the distance from safe ground is about 50 km, we have used arms from the West. In #Nova #Kakhovka there has been a series of explosions, probably weapons and fuel dumps. ⬇️

5:"In Kherson and in Ilovaisk (Donetsk) the Russians have started arresting anyone who looks too Ukrainian as a guerilla/helper - what a panic!

So to the 'forgotten' war in #Kharkiv. Neither the Russians nor we have enough resources to make a difference. ⬇️

6:"We both lack artillery, helicopters and armour.
The following description is from the platoon I helped train and they are 'somewhere' north of Kharkiv: There is no real battle line but the small villages here and there are either in our hands or the Russians.⬇️

7:"There are basically no organized infantry attacks, only fighting between reconnaissance or saboteur groups. In other words, the whole front line is fortified by light infantry. The tanks the Russians have do not want to come closer than 1 km from our positions (NLAWS!). ⬇️

8:"2-3 tanks come up to this 1 km zone and fire 5 rounds, then they change position a couple of times and each time fire their 5 rounds and then withdraw. Same thing their helicopters do, go up at their bases, fly a few km and fire their rockets and then quickly descend again.⬇️

9:"Well, we do the same. On the other hand, the Russians have an advantage in the number of drones, through which they see our positions and can aim fire directly at us, hence the overwhelming number of shrapnel casualties. Our special forces are not over-represented either.⬇️

10:"We go to the front line when we have a task, carry it out and return to base. To end the terror bombing of Kharkiv we MUST take out their heavy artillery bases across the border or at least get all the heavy weapons to the front to push the Russians back across the border.⬇️

11:"As for medical care, we are also woefully under-resourced, we are short of everything. Even field hospitals and field doctors. As things stand, it seems that neither we nor the Russians have Kharkiv as a priority.⬇️

12:"Finally a few words on the general perception of the war from the point of view of the 'experts'. Thankfully, more and more experts have begun to realise that a peace in which we have to give up territory de facto creates a greater security risk for Europe than ongoing war.⬇️

13:"These experts, which only 2 weeks ago were of the opposite opinion, now believe that only a Russian defeat in Ukraine is the guarantee of a higher security situation in Europe.(Why are our Nordic media not reporting on this?) ⬇️

14:"Is it perhaps the reverse opinion of these 'experts' that has now opened up the possibility of us getting fighter jets? Why did it take so damn long for them to realize this, we have known it since the beginning of the war.⬇️

15:"Tomorrow I will deal with the picture of our internal threat which has now proved to be much more serious than we thought. #SlavaUkrayini "🚫
