Update Bakhmut is under very heavy pressure with new tourist reinforcements taken from Avdiivka.
/1a
All the Wagners in the area are now in Bakhmut along with the tourists' regular army of mobilized and elite soldiers.
/1b
The master chef himself has invested all his prestige in conquering the city. He has also realized that these are the last conquests the tourists can make and now advocates only a defensive role for the entire army.
/2
With the help of these new reinforcements, they have managed to cross the railway line and retake the positions from which our special forces drove them. Meanwhile, our drone operators have spotted a large infantry force entering the city.
/3
As early as April 4, our forces in Bakhmut received orders to prepare a withdrawal from the city to Chasiv Yar. Now it is the 15th of April and we are still there. Even though the tourists are massively reinforced and have a manpower advantage, -
/4a
the tourists' mobilized soldiers are completely terrified, a group of 40 tourists volunteered yesterday to ours. Their physical and psychological conditions are completely run to the bottom and they bear witness to endless movements;
/4b
Kreminna, Vuhledar, Avdiivka and now Bakhmut. Little or no food at all, water taken from rain puddles and no rotation for 2 months. From their stories, it can be concluded that their entire reserve in Donbas is in the front line.
/5
I said earlier that unless the tourists can take all of Bakhmut this weekend, their troops in Bakhmut are at breaking point. If they can take the large park area, it is time for us to leave the city and receive them at the -
/6a
Kostiantynivka-Chasiv Yar-Kalynivka line, a line that has been prepared for a month.
/6b
Deepstatemap has corrected its map at Bilohorivka so there is no question of any sudden conquests by the tourists.
/7
The Tourist Army now has no strength to carry out attacks on many front lines at the same time. Avdiivka is now apparently first in place 2 because elite troops have been moved into Bakhmut. this shows that we thinned enormously among their masses in Bakhmut.
/8
Even their elite troops have suffered huge losses and they cannot be replaced by mobilized ones. On the other hand, our specially trained people arrive from Europe, Canada and the USA, -
/9a
ready to do what they have been trained to do. Our potential is increasing while that of tourists is decreasing.
/9b
Other front lines stand and stomp instead.

evacuation", which will last until April 20.
It is noted that the children are planned to be taken out on station buses, thus formally legalizing the theft of ZNPP vehicles, which the station staff use to get to work

Also, the export of furniture, mattresses and other things from the city's kindergartens has already been recorded. Earlier, in October, it was reported that the Russians did not return the children who were taken from the captured Energodar to "summer camps" -

The situation in Bakhmut is decided by the railway and the railway station. The battles wave back and forth here.
/1a
During the last 3 days, the railway station itself has been 2 times in our hands and 2 times in the hands of the tourists.
/1b
Right now, you don't know who is the master of the road there. We did drive them to the east side of the railway line but they came back AND NOW again we have driven them in a larger area back again.

US-imposed sanctions and export controls on Russia are depriving it of materials for the war in Ukraine.

The minister added that limiting the price of Russian oil to $60 per barrel turns the expected budget surplus of the Russian Federation into a deficit.
