But it comes to nothing: rare images of ravaged #Torske, west of #Kreminna, the objective the Russians fail to reach to push the #AFU back across the Zherebets👇
Opportunity counterattack 🇺🇦 stopped the advance 🇷🇺 into the city around the last 🇺🇦 post bounded:
-to the NW, by Kraina Street (building destroyed north of Kraina by 🇺🇦 before yielding ground👇)
extending towards the 54th barracks (occupation 🇷🇺 not confirmed by images)
-to the S-SW, by Tchaikovsky Street (T-0504), from which the 🇷🇺 have moved a little closer (occupied Bakhmut Medical College 👇)
-to the west the municipal limits
#prigozhin, c** general and true criminal has the same doubts I've been sharing in this thread with you for some time: the flanks of Wagner, held by the VDVs are not in the "best way" and he "wouldn't admit their reliability just to be polite..."
The northern and southern flanks are convex salients 👇 with a perimeter twice their base, meaning they require 2x the manpower to defend than a straight line or are 2x less well defended with equal manpower
Direction of #Avdiivka👇, I have not seen any images confirming the 1.5 km breakthrough in the direction of #OleksandroKalynove
So I'll remain cautious on the assessment of the attack 🇺🇦 which may be just an "opportunity" assault on a point of weakness
In the direction of #Vuhledar, #AFU advanced southwest of #Pavlivka in a wider way than assumed since their advance is about 3 km x 15 km for 49 km2 in total 👇
And we have confirming images, which I already published a short time ago
Obviously, we think of #Mariupol and the Sea of Azov, located 85 km away, whose key is #Volnovakha a high point located at 350 m altitude commanding the descent to #Mariupol👇
2/Dnieper, left bank & #Crimee, being hit and crossing.
War criminal #Putin hit #Kherson and surrounding area, killing 20+ civilians and wounding 40+ 👇, with 550 shells and 5 guided glide bombs fired
@Liberov 12/n #Ukraine May 04
This is the result of the decisions of the rotten**re that is enthroned in the Kremlin👇
We have a real problem with Russia for a very long time...
@isw confirms the fake banner hypothesis I posed yesterday with the same reasons:
- "justify the cancellation or limitation of the May 9 celebrations"
- "present the war in Ukraine as existential and prepare for a broader social mobilization"
Why is this hypothesis likely?
-the probability of passing the Pantsir air defense circles around Moscow is very low
- "the immediate, coherent and coordinated response of the Kremlin suggests that the attack was prepared internally"
#Ukraine May 04, an update from the excellent @CedricMas.
Lots of noise right now, long-range attacks from both sides. The counter-attack operation is getting closer, but not yet launched. In terms of communication, it's swinging though...
Details ? Read the thread 👇
#Ukraine May 04 (1a) Situation update on day 434 of the invasion.
Between multiplication of UKR strikes against RUS POL (fuel) depots and trains, salvos of Shaheed 136/131 drones ...
#Ukraine May 04 (1b)
... and the two drones that exploded over the Kremlin, events follow one another as rumors of local UKR operations and counter-attacks flourish all over the front.
#Ukraine May 02 Update - announcement of UKR counterattack at Avdiivka (1.5km advance according to pro-Russian Romanov account and by another pro-Russian account).
Nothing confirmed.
We must remain cautious as these announcements may be attempts at manipulation.
#Ukraine May 02 Update A Russian fuel train or POL derailed in the Bryansk region.
This is the second one in 24 hours.
