🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/10) "It is now T minus 'something' until the major offensive. The new armoured vehicles and tanks have new recognition signs: a white arrow pointing to the left. This is normally done before a major event. +
2:"There are also pictures of our soldiers on Bradleys, supported by old modernised T55 tanks (yes, we have these too). Their task will probably be to enter during the so-called second wave and secure retaken ground. +
3:"Artillery and grenades are also pouring in and we have filled our fuel depots all along the front line. This detail is interesting by the way: during the Kharkiv offensive the depots were filled while the other fronts were at a standstill. +
4:"This indicates that we are not attacking only in a few places but along the whole front when we start. How we synchronise it all will be interesting. Most likely we will attack gradually. We will start the attack in a new place when we have achieved an objective in one place.+
5:"There have been orders that the new ones who are in training should be trained mostly on attack strategies and tactics with less focus on defensive tasks. When we puzzle together the big and small signs, the conclusion is: It will be a massive offensive with all in, +
6:"...we are looking for a knock out in the first round.

Why haven't we had any missile attacks on Kyiv lately? The normal time interval is over and nothing has happened. The sirens were triggered last night in Kyiv because of a meteorite [or satellite debris], +
7:"...but missiles and Iranian mopeds are conspicuous by their absence. Elsewhere in Ukraine, missile attacks have also been drastically reduced, so the question is: are the Russians saving them for use in our major attack? +
8:"Bakhmut and Avdiivka: My colleague, the hockey player, and his unit have been taken out of Bakhmut and deployed in the terrain south of the city. They are now fighting on open ground and with good results. Their task is to start pushing the Russians' southern flank eastwards.+
9:"North of the city, the Russians have begun to push while the centre has calmed down. The picture is interesting and the question is whether they want to secure the southern access road for maintenance and transport as the pressure on Khromove has grown to the critical stage.+
10:"At Avdiivka we have attacked with partial results. Still waiting for the data from the raid."🛑

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg: (1/12) "Bakhmut is under very heavy pressure with new Russian reinforcements brought from Avdiivka. All the Wagners in the area are now in Bakhmut along with the Russians' regular army of mobilized and elite soldiers. The Wagner boss himself has staked +
2:"...his entire prestige on conquering the city. He has also realized that this is the last conquest the Russians can make and now advocates a purely defensive role for the entire army. With the help of these new reinforcements, they have managed to cross the railroad line and +
3:"...retake the positions from which our special forces drove them away. At the same time our drone operators have spotted a large infantry force entering the city. Already on April 4th, our forces in Bakhmut were ordered to prepare a withdrawal from the city to Chasiv Yar.+

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️#KennethGregg here again: (1/11) "Local artillery duels continue along the entire contact line at Svatove. Similarly, Russian attacks continue in the Serebryansk area.
On the Bakhmut front, the Russians have recently carried out intense attacks near Bilogorivka and in +
2:"...the town itself they are attacking around the railroad in order to retake the positions we drove them from two days ago.

At Avdiivka, the Russians are shifting in their reserves and trying to consolidate on the highway west of Novobakhmutivka. +
3:"Fighting also continues in Pervomaysk and Marinka.
Notably, the Russians have now mobilized the entire reserve to these combat areas. If no results are achieved during the weekend, the reserve has been sacrificed to no avail. We, on the other hand, have stocked up heavily on +

🇺🇦🇫🇮🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg here again: (1/9) "In Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka the Russians have launched a desperate offensive. In Bakhmut, more VDV (elite) troops have been deployed and have slowly been able to advance a few houses, but with heavy losses. +
2:"The combat zone (the so-called gray zone) has expanded while the established Russian-controlled area is more or less unchanged. They have also concentrated on knocking out our maintenance convoys with partial success, so you can guess that we are also suffering heavy losses. +
3:"North of Avdiivka, where we counter-attacked, we have retreated to the starting position. Here too, the Russians have brought in VDV troops. South of the town the Russians have good troop concentrations but their attacks have been repulsed. +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg this morning: (1/9) "The title for today is 'That's it for the Russians'. Around Kreminna we hold the positions without problems and in Bakhmut we have finally started to push the Russians away from the centre and south of Ivanivske. +
2:"On deepstatemap, the forest area south of Ivanivske is still marked as under the control of the Russians, but the latest news from our boys in the area is that the Russians have been driven out and onto open ground. If we want to be careful, we can say that the area is grey. +
3:"We have of course hard fighting but the Russians are now being driven back on all fronts around Bakhmut.
Even south of Novobakhmutivka we have attacked and advanced in order to flank the Russians' 136th Motorised Rifle Brigade. We are advancing between them and the +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️A hsort one from Kenneth Gregg this morning: (1/5) "Headline: 'Is the official Russian army abandoning Bakhmut and Vuhledar?'.
There are many reasons for this and forces are concentrated in Adviika instead. Wagner is left in Bakhmut to bleed to death. In Bakhmut itself, +
2:"...the last 24 hours have been one of the quietest in a long time. However, fighting has intensified in the north and south of the city. In the south, Russians tried to advance to the main road but were pushed back. Right now we are attacking both in the south and north. +
3:"The situation in Adviika is tough but under control. The Donetsk separatist army is responsible and they are now sending untrained Russians to our positions. The scenario is like in Bakhmut, a meat grinder.

One thing to think about when speculating on places for our spring +

🇺🇦🧵🗣️Kenneth Gregg's report for today: (1/8) "No significant changes on either front. In and around Bakhmut the Russians continue with the same tactics and with the same results, no changes. The fighting is tough and in the city itself the ratio is 1:2 or 1:3 depending on where+
2:"... you count. The same attack vectors: Ivanivske, Predtechine, Khromove, Bohdanivka, Hryhorivka, Novomarkove, Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Minkivka and Pryvilla.

The Western media is currently talking about the day when Wagner's prison inmate's 6-month contracts expire, +
3:"...as if it would have great significance for Wagner. It absolutely does not, most of them are forced to stay until the bitter end. If Wagner withdraws, it is the end of the Wagner boss, both economically and politically.+
