๐ฅ Donetsk. Places of major strikes during the last 3 days.
Donetsk is simply constantly shelled. There's simply no day w/o a strike or shelling. For 8 years it has been one large military base. We don't big fires or detonation there. Just every day hits.
Horlivka. Situation is very similar with the one in Donetsk here. It's just hit less often
Ilovaisk. It has been hit twice during the last 3 days.
The first strike was at the train station.
That was a great hit, damaging several railroad bridges and rail tracks in one of the biggest railway junctions in the region, connecting #NaziRussia with its forces in Ukraine.
As we can see those bridges were the main targets. These bridges are not so easy to repair, I thinks. We can also see, that few bridges had no or lesser damage. I believe they will be hit again if needed.
The damage dealt to railway tracks is easy to repair, but it's also pleasure for the Cat's eyes.
This guy loves to pose for photos, doesn't he?
Cat loves him! Whenever he sees him, it's always joy!
Wow!!! New photo dude! Let's get acquainted.
Ilovaisk again. It looks like a substation has been struck.
Makiivka.
Decided to follow Shakhtarsk's example of using fuel tanks as candles. Smart girl.
Firefighters fighting fire during the night and even have some work left to do in the morning.
According to official statement oil depot has been struck, with 2 tank cars and 3 stationary reservoirs being on fire.
My darling! I'm so glad to see you again!
Yasynuvaka. Something was on fire. According to locals that something was the boarding school - typical place of stay for occupiers.
Pavlivka.
A grave for 1x ๐ท๐บ marine battalion... and counting.
On this video you can see Excalibur in action, which tells us something about the means we have here.
๐ท๐บ marines relaxing in Pavlivka.
๐ท๐บ marines greeting Stuhna in Pavlivka.
This will be my new format of reporting about the situation on different directions until we see the front move. In such a way you'll be able to get only reliable and important information, w/o tons of noise.

โก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ The NEW POLICY which will be adopted by Putin after his reelection leaked. Tremendous job by our hackers.
This is VERY IMPORTANT. Read it and share it.
The document below is a letter of the speaker Volodin to Putin, with Putin's signature and the inscription: "Agreed" ๐
Key ideas:
1. Intensification of nationalization. All extractive industries are nationalized. 2. Increase of censorship, including TV & internet. 3. Solution of the opposition issue (hello, @yulia_navalnaya, Navalnyi case) 4. De-westernization 5. THE MOST IMPORTANT ๐
5. QUOTE: Export of chaos abroad - Discharge of internal tension through external expansion. โผ๏ธ
What that means?
To understand it we need to read the analysis of the
Russian Academy of Science, on which the letter of the speaker Volodin is based. informnapalm.org/ua/wp-content/โฆ
๐งต1st, 2nd, 3rd defensive lines explainer. Russian/Ukrainian military doctrine.
Defensive lines can be categorized in several ways:
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd - just as you see them in front of you
- security zone, main defensive line, interim defensive line, rear defensive line - according to their designation
- front, army, corps defensive lines
1. The security zone (cover zone, ะฟะพะปะพัะฐ ะพะฑะตัะฟะตัะตะฝะธั, ะทะพะฝะฐ ะฟัะธะบัััะธั).
The main purpose of the security zone is to slow down the advance of the advancing enemy troops, to exhaust them with battles even before meeting with the main forces.
๐งต At about 4:30 a.m. warehouses with ammo caught on fire at a training ground near Feodosia, Crimea.
๐ 45.0849143, 35.0749643
The training ground is situated ~250km from the current frontline.
The amount of ammo stored there should be impressive as the occupiers predict it to burn for 24-48 hours. Due to that they're relocating 2,000 people from 4 nearby settlements.
The phase of preparation to the actual shooting took about a week, and most of the time we spent sitting in cars and waiting for something.
By the way, in this camp, the US Sgt came to us at 6am & told us why we're still sleeping, although according to the schedule we're to get up at 5 (no one told us about the schedule, except for the time of departure). We answered that departure should be at 7, so we're sleeping.
๐ The first two weeks have passed. The next stage of training, movement on equipment. Two Humvees were given to our branch, three M113s to the other three.

We had to learn how to drive it, study it, master the skills of moving in different formations (column, wedge, etc.), dismounting, and so on. If earlier the lectures were held indoors, now we came by vehicle to the training ground & listened to everything in the open air.
The main topic is movement formation. What car and where it should be, where the commander is and how he controls the convoy. What to do during fire contact, or if the car is hit.
๐ So, I was in a reconnaissance platoon, we're trained by American Rangers. The program was aimed specifically at reconnaissance. There're three main instructors, these kind of enforcers. All three of them were equally square.
Line up at 6 a.m. just to find out that training starts at 9. Why? For some reason, Americans like the rule "Arrive early to wait longer."
The first day, familiarization with weapons. We were told in detail about the M-16, the entire structure and main mechanisms. The class was quite useful, it can be seen that they have been working with this weapon for many years.
