#Ukraine, May 1st, last post for today a partial update from our good friend @HeliosRunner on Masto about #Bakhmut π
1/ Partial Operational situation update regarding #russian_invasion in #Ukraine on May 1st, 2023 : #Russian are stuck everywhere and even losing some grounds around #Avdiivka (but the situation is fluid there)
2/ #Ukraine, May 1st
But RU are still counting on to their final push 2 seize what remains of #Bakhmut (not much right now)
Nothing certain about frontline in Bakhmut but recents vids confirms RU advance. UKR will be there at least couple days more for sure. (yeah it's amazing..)
3/ #Ukraine, May 1st
Sat map of #Bakhmut
Ru are reaching the ultimate limits of the last defensive lines within the last quarters.
it's already really astonishing how UKR have resisted so far there...
4/ #Ukraine, May 1st
But Ru advances are steady so it should be a wrap this week (again ?!) and then we'll have to change maps and focus on #Ivaniske and #Bohdanivka if Ru do not take a "break"... (with a "half" operational pause already observed on other occasions)
3/ #Ukraine May 1st
and if we go further to look into a topo map :
We have seen several videos of Ukr sending tanks on the hot point, directly on the main avenue, and it's was quite surprising as Ru still have tons of ATGMs...
4/ #Ukraine May 1st
but apparently they are really using them to quickly stop major infantry advances (when mortar can't be effective in high buildings areas & not as "reactive") & then they draw back...
but Ru are still moving on.. because they still have enough manpower anyway.
5/ #Ukraine May 1st
Now some numbers/figures (as I understand HeliosRunner update his spreadsheet stats at the end of the month)
6/ #Ukraine May 1st
Graphs from HeliosRunner friend mister TOm !-)
7/ and that's it for today.
take care you all !
bye!
#Ukraine May 2, an update from @CedricMas.
Tension is high.
On Bakhmut, UKR counterattacks of yesterday took the RUS by surprise, even if they are not going to win back the city, they intend to deprive Putin of a victory for May 9.
Details ? Read the thread π
#Ukraine May 2, (1) Update on the 431st day of the invasion.
Much peripheral unrest as tension around the UKR counter-offensive grows (as predicted).
The important thing is to remain cautious and keep your cool.
#Ukraine May 2, (2) an assessment of April first with a microscopic inflection of territorial possession: the RUS lost 25km2 in one month despite their advance in Bakhmut.
#Ukraine Apr 30, I just found updates from @escortert.
Sounds really good job, so I've translated it for U.
This update is in 2 parts, this is the 2nd thread
