๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here again: (1/14) "The Russians' massive reinforcements and the new meat grinder at Khromove has meant that the Russians now have an offensive momentum. We still hold Khromove but the Russians are pouring into our trenches in droves without caring for the +
2:"massive casualties. It is their reserves that are now in the meat grinders. In the city centre they advance westwards and at the railway station they levelled the high-rise buildings to the ground. Unfortunately, they now have enough artillery to give us a Dante's inferno. +
3:"We continue to delay their advance as much as we can but now we are at the limit of what we can do. If we can still stop them in the city and thus gain more time for our offensive, we will have done a day's work rarely seen in the history of warfare. +
4:"Reliable sources claim that they have 7 times more men in the city than we have. They have decided to take the whole city, whatever the cost. This means that they will bring in more troops from the other fronts. They can take Bakhmut but they will be stopped at Chasiv Yar.+
5:"Our counterattack at the railway station was cancelled due to excessive Russian formations, but their advance here is stopped for now. Since they levelled the high-rise buildings we had to withdraw from there but our own artillery now has the same area as target, +
6:"...so they are keeping their heads down. How long is a question of resources.

Since the Russians now have concentrated on Bakhmut, nothing happens on the other fronts. They are reinforcing their defence lines at Zaporizhzhia in anticipation of our offensive. +
7:"The offensive capacity of the Russians for a major attack is now zero. They can't even take a small town without having a 1:7 advantage, so how can they advance further? In addition, their logistics are at the limit, as weapons and ammunition have been redeployed from other +
8:"...fronts to Bakhmut. With this in mind, it is not surprising that the Wagner boss wants to end the offensives and concentrate on holding the areas he now controls. If he takes Bakhmut as a trophy for the dictator at home, I think he will get the support of the dictator. +
9:"That is why so much is now being concentrated on Bakhmut; to take the city and get a 'normal' line of contact.

Unfortunately, I think there are many Western politicians who want to see a stable front line and from there start forcing us into peace negotiations. +
10:"Even in Finland there is a lot of commentary that we should do as they did in the last war: give up 25% of our territory. Sorry guys, never going to happen.

So a few words about yesterday's raid on the Muscovite church here in the Brovary district. +
11:"A total of 20 people have now been arrested for espionage and treason. In addition very sensitive documents have been found that can only come from the corrupt city administration. This means that we have spies in sensitive positions within city administrations. +
12:"This can explain previous attacks on targets that no one should have known about. This operation's background actually comes out during the interview I did with the two politicians, so keep this in mind when you watch the interview on Nongrata media. +
13:"It should be ready on Tuesday or Wednesday, and we will also discuss this in the next podcast. My suspicion is that we have similar problems in Kyiv, so I hope the SBU has the courage to take action and investigate the Kyiv administration as well. +
14:"Some politicians and officials there have suddenly become very pro-Ukrainian and patriotic. Especially those who quickly fled towards the western borders in March 2022."๐Ÿ›‘

2:"...that connects Chasiv Yar and Bakhmut through Khromove but heavy fighting is currently going on there.
Russian forces also advanced westwards from the direction of Dubovo-Vasylivka and took the ridges north-east of Hryhorivka. At the time of writing, information was +

At Avdiivka small but good things are happening: the Russians tried to rotate their troops on the southeastern edge of Pervomaiske, +

1. We now have plenty of artillery in place
2. The Russians have levelled all houses west of the railway line in a 300m zone with their artillery.+
2:"3. The Russians have taken control of the railway line which was a so-called natural barrier.
Since all the houses have been levelled, the Russians have created an open zone that now prevents them from advancing because we, with our artillery, erase their attempts to attack.+
3:"The situation is the same for us; the Russians' artillery mows us down if we attempt a counterattack. The railway line is also the dividing line between the centre and the western part of the city in the south. The Russians have also tried to storm the park to the north, +

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. +

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.+

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 +

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. +
