Update day. The situation in Bakhmut is complicated by the loss of Zaliznyanske, especially the operational situation as there are no other settlements within 4-5 km from it.
/1
This gives the tourists an advantage that they would be happy to do without.
The tourists attacked Ivanivske and reached the outskirts of the community, but the 5th Assault Brigade drove them away.
In the city of Bakhmut itself, things are happening; /2
The Wagner tourists entered the Tsvetmet Zavod and conquered the first buildings. They also advanced a few more meters in southern Bakhmut.
Wagners advanced in the south and reached Korsunskogo street,- /3
but our Aidar battalion pushed them back, the situation is still tense there.
On a positive note, the 3rd Battalion of the 92nd Mechanized Brigade recaptured trenches northwest of Khromove and fought off a subsequent counterattack.
/4
An officer from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade stated that Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut are low on ammunition and have essentially no shells to hit the enemy in occupied parts of the city.
/5
The tourists have started using jamming fire against the road from Kostantinivka to Bakhmut with the Uragan which has multiple combat parts (this is not good).
The other front lines basically stand and stomp in place.
/6
So I ask you who follow various updates from Bakhmut on Telegram. There are currently a lot of fake accounts claiming to be Ukrainian soldiers fighting in Bakhmut and the surrounding area.
/7
A combat soldier in the front only makes short updates and irregularly. Long reports that require the internet to get an overview of the whole situation are definitely a fake account.
/8
Internet only works with starlink. Take all such reports with a large pinch of salt.
My promised in-depth report on the Energy Front isn't due until tomorrow, I promised a bit too much yesterday and underestimated my timetable, sorry about that.

In the Luhansk region, a child died as a result of the shelling of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: police document war crimes of the Russian Federation

▪️In March 2022, a girl born in 2020 was injured as a result of shelling of #ВС_РФ in Lysichansk, and she died during the evacuation in the city of Kramatorsk.
▪️In the village of Makiivka, the police accepted the statement of a local resident that in December 2022, -
/2
the military of the Russian Federation and the LPR carried out shelling of civilian objects, as a result of which the applicant’s private house and outbuildings were partially damaged.
/3
- And now Bakhmut has become a new Marinka. No one knows right now where the contact lines are, there are street battles in the center and in the suburbs.
/1
- The tourists have crossed the river in the north and south. It is likely that they also cross it in the east during the day. In the past, the tourists have tried to call the city but failed.
/2
I also do not think that they will succeed in this, but we will see battles street by street, just like in Marinka. I have great doubts about the competence of Bakhmut's commander, he has two big failures on his account with big losses of his own.
