🧵 1/10 From early on in the war Skadovs'k has been a hotspot for 🇷🇺 officials. For example on 19th of may, this was the spot of an organised tour for western chronies to show how wonderfull live was in the occupied territories. ⬇️
2/10 The local governement working for the occupier is located at Alexandrovskaya str. near the local police station. An extensive publication about the collaborators active in Skadosv'k was done by partizans on 13-06-2022 ⬇️
3/10After the "goodwill gesture" of leaving the right side of the Dnipro river,the Regional governement of the occupier moved to Skadovs'k and needed an office of their own, so according to local sources they took up residence in resort Slava on the edge on the east side of town
4/10 This holliday camp consists of a hotel complex, wellness centre & dolphinarium,office complex and app. buildings.Since July the youth hostel has been used by 🇷🇺 forces, they build serveral trenches to protect the entrance to the buildings as can be seen on 🛰 imagery.
5/10 When the fled "officials" arrived from Kherson, they took up office in the northern part of the complex, using the yellow office building as their main office, and using the app. on the N-E side for housing of the collaborators.
6/10 Security also was increased, a large new trench was dug to protect the main office building and 2 checkpoints on the entry ways were setup as can be seen in the imagery. Reports from locals seem to indicate that the welness area is also being used frequently by them.
7/10 Last week there have been HIMARS strikes around the Svadovsk area, so it could not be ruled out that once again they have moved, presumably to Heniches'ka, were also a large number of collaborators have moved to lately.
8/10 If you liked this 🧵 consider donating 🛰 imagery is very costly and takes alot of effort to process and analyze. Your help is much appreciated 🙏
Credible sources within the Ukrainian army and russian sources, are reporting the displacement of units of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division from the Kreminna/Svatove area to the harbor city of Berdyansk. Indications are at least 2 regiments have moved.
The 234th Guards Air Assault and 237th Guards Air Assault Regiments , who had been stationed between Kreminna and Svatove, with a command centre located in Milutavka, which is near the city of Svatove.
234th regiment is know for its involvement in the Bucha massacre both regiments suffered heavy losses in the war in Ukraine and have been replenished with Mobiks who had short training in camps just across the border in Russia (Rovenki) and near Nhyznoteple in Luhansk
1/3 Recently large numbers of tanks in the Pervomaiske area have been destroyed, also video's came out showing large numbers of assault forces (So-called SHO units) who surrender to 🇺🇦 forces.Another indication something was up in this area, the increased nr. of 🇺🇦 drone attacks
2/3 This could indicate part of the 🇷🇺 defensive lines around this part of the front might be weaker around Pervomais'ke then other parts, most likely also because units from this part were moved to support the 3rd army on the south flank of Bakhmut.
3/3 Today we learned that 🇷🇺 forces blew up the dam in the town of Karlivka, this dam not only holds the water in the Karlovska reservoir, but also a bridge on the E50 road toward Pervomais'ke, which is a main supply route for 🇺🇦 forces in the area.
1/3 Reliable sources on the ground near Soledar are reporting 🇷🇺 sapper units possible from 107th Seperate Guards Engineer-Sapper battalion, are activly mining roads leading out of Soledar. Several crossroads and fields have been mined with 100's of AT-62M mines.
2/3 This in it self can mean different things, either Russian & Wagner forces are preparing a retreat to more favourable defensive positions outside Soledar, or Russian forces are setting up obstacles to prevent the retreat of the Wagner forces stationed in Soledar.
3/3 In case of retreat of all forces from Soledar, the possibility is that they would fall back all the way to the defensive positions build a few months ago west of Popasna on the border between Luhansk & Donetsk. Time will tell when Soledar is liberated by 🇺🇦. #SlavaUkraïni
1/6 Elements of the 10th Tank regiment part of the newly formed 3rd 🇷🇺 army corps, arrived around 13th of may in the area of the town of Odradivka (48.494300,38.014800). They had previously been deployed near Avdiivka, were they were involved a multiple failed frontal assaults
2/6 In which they suffered serious losses including most of their tanks and IFV's. They had been regrouping near the town of Lysychansk and seems to have been re-plenished with new mobik recruits from all over Russia but mostly recruits from Buryatia.
3/6 Their arrival in the area south of Bakhmut is likely an attempt to stop Ukrainian advances in this area.The unit took up positions along the T0513 road between Odradivka and Optyne. Almost immediatly after their arrival shelling and drone attacks by 🇺🇦 forces took their toll.
1/15 I have been working on unraveling the 🇷🇺 logistics networks in the Luhansk area since the beginning of jan. When different geolocated videos showed convoy's of armoured vehicles moving towards the frontlines in Luhansk & Donetsk
2/15 These convoy's peaked my interest, and since the 🇷🇺 logistics machine heavily relies on railway, the most obvious place to start is at the railway hubs it still can use in Luhansk. There are only a handfull which suits the need of the 🇷🇺 forces & are outside of HIMARS reach
3/15 in S Luhansk the railway route between the towns of Dovzhansk(Sverdlovsk) and Rovenky, has 4 stops that would be out of HIMARS reach, but only two of those are connected with the highways into Luhansk city and onto the frontlines.These are Dovzhansk (Sverdlovsk) and Rovenky
Serveral 🇺🇦 sources report 🇷🇺 offensive actions NW of Svatove, Luhansk in the area of the town of Miasozharivka. This would line up with rumors about the 31st vdv being in the area since mid jan. Also would explain the heavy activity on the newest logistical route being used
since beginning of jan. From Rovenki and Rossosj along the highway to Novopskov and on to staroblisk & Svatove. Presumable elements of the 31st & 76th Airborne disivion have been spotted in the area around Svatove since 2 weeks and are leading the attack.
Indications could be that this might be the main axis of attack, despite the focus on Kreminna! As promised my 🧵 about the Luhansk logistics will be out soon. But i want it to be extensive, current and on the money so bare with me a little while longer please 🙏 #SlavaUkraïni
