๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennthGregg: (1/12) "Today we have good news from the frontline and the Russian army. Let's start with the fronts:
In Bakhmut town, the Russians' progress has been completely stopped and the intensity of the fighting has significantly decreased. +
2:"The Wagner troops are currently fighting alone on this part of the front. North of the city along the Orikhova-Vasylivka line to just north of Khromove, we have pushed the Russians back. The Russians seem to be moving from here to north of Soledar, +
3:"...looking for easier ground to advance on. This is the regular Russian army that apparently wants to find a place to take a few square meters of land to show that they can. As it looks from my point of view, the Russians are collapsing due to internal conflicts. +
4:"The Wagner boss Prigozhin has hired the fired general, Mizintev, known as the Butcher of Mariupol. Through this move, Prigozhin is trying to gain an ally and win more points with the ultra-nationalist forces in the Russian country. This puts even more pressure on +
5:"...Shoygu and his comrade in arms, General Gerasimov. This infighting has affected the situation in Bakhmut. Shoygu has decided to make his mark in Avdiivka by making the city his own Bakhmut. He has ordered more troops to the area and is trying to establish an encirclement. +
6:"So far with very poor results, they have entered a new meat grinder.
Also in Marinka we have showered artillery shells on the Russians and captured a so-called 'bars' unit. Right now we seem to be taking so many Russian prisoners that it could be a problem. +
7:"At Vuhledar we have also counterattacked successfully but details of this will have to wait another 24 hours.
To summarise, we can say that the situation in Bakhmut is no longer critical but difficult. The Avdiivka situation is tense and Marinka is sustainable. +
8:"The pinprick operations against Russian depots and warehouses continue with increasing intensity, especially in Crimea. Russians are starting to panic there and the tactics seem to be the same as in Kherson. This means that the main attack will not take place in the south, +
9:"...or that our General Staff wants the Russians to come to the same conclusion and keep their guard down right here. As you can see, there is an unprecedented poker game going on right now. The attack route will be where we get a concentration of Leopards. +
10:"The beauty of the crow song is that no one knows exactly where these wagons are right now.
There will also be a second update today on the delivery of the car and other goodies to Taras and his group from the organisation 'Send on to Ukraine'. +
11:"Taras has been on the front line since day 1 of the war. All respect to him and thanks for standing up for Ukraine and Europe. Taras has small children but did not hesitate to do his duty, unlike many men who simply bought a free pass through corruption or fled the country. +
12:"We also have many young men who left on day 1 and now sit abroad and criticise us, including our coach from our Hockey Club Desna."๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg reports again: (1/6) "The front lines are unchanged except at Avdiivka where we broke through the Russian lines south of the city. How much territory we have taken back is still unclear, the attack could also be a pinprick +
2"... operation to increase the psychological pressure on the Russians. The fog of war has closed in as we get closer to the start of the major offensive. The major update sites are holding back and their reporting is almost gibberish (militaryland, deepstatemap, etc).+
3:"Around Bakhmut there are no changes except for an even more intensified theatre between the Wagners, the Chetchens and the Ministry of Defence. My opinion is that the Russian leader does not know what to do and therefore retreats and allows an open battle to see who will be +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here again: (1/11) "The fronts are at a standstill. Right now there is more going on behind the scenes and within the Russian army.
I have mentioned in my previous posts that we have more advanced weapons than what has been shown in the media. +
2:"An example of this is our shooting down of a KH 47 Kinzal hypersonic missile over Kyiv Oblast. The army tried to cover this up but had to admit the facts when they realised that it was impossible to hide it. +
3:".When our offensive begins, many eyebrows will be raised when they see what we really have. The mayors of the front zones have turned to the media and asked the public not to photograph our troop movements.
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏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. +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here again (1/9) "The new Russian reinforcements and the activation of the reserves have given the Russians new offensive momentum in Bakhmut. We abandoned the railway station and retreated a few blocks to the west. They also advanced towards the key road +
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 +
3:"...received that we had counterattacked at the railway station with a larger force, but I have no confirmation of this information.
At Avdiivka small but good things are happening: the Russians tried to rotate their troops on the southeastern edge of Pervomaiske, +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#KennethGregg here again: (1/9) "Bakhmut is as before, no significant advances. This is what you should know about Bakhmut: 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, +
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ฎ๐งต๐ฃ๏ธ#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. +
