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.

4/ Wagnerites have almost reach the famous stadium downtown and are looking to push also to the north to reach their own troops to have a "full" solid front and definitively push UKR out of the #Bakhmutovka river.
but in the area around #Bakhmut, UKR are perfectly controlling

5/ the situation. direct infos from a fighter there, confirms it to me.
there is no russians as often depicted in some maps to the south axis.
sometimes small units go through, but no solid line there! important detail!

6/ there is also a lot more to do in the city itself with high buildings in diff areas where Ukrainians can still have good positions to defend themselves, and inflict real damages to incoming forces.
Also if they are still there in 2 weeks from now, imagine what a nightmare

7/ actually what would be the worst nightmare of all time for Prigozhin and Putin, if UKR at the last moment, come at full force in both sides, and trap the remaining Wagnerites in the city !!

(you need to give goals to men, even if quite closer to dreams, for them to succeed!)
